[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr0z.mp:
I can add pictures of the double taped box if anyone wants but basically it looks like my Nexus 4 replacement box has been opened and re-taped again. The first Nexus 4 I had shipped had only one set of black tape to seal the box but my Nexus 4 replacement has had the tape taped over as if the box has been opened. Has anyone else received a box that has had the first set of tape taped over? I sent google an email and the person I talked to told me that the device is in fact brand new and they do not sell refurbished devices.

Also, the sim opening tool bag looks like it has been opened and re-taped as well except not with an extra piece of tape this time but with either the original tape that came with it or another piece, but the bag is damaged as if it has been opened already. Anyone know what is going on with this? I have a feeling they may have checked the device to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, like the problem that made me send it back in the first place but I would really like to know the reason for this.

Please, anyone, if you have had the same thing happen or know why this has happened, please let me know!

Thanks for your time and interest.

Just check for scratches / problems. If it seems/ feels and responds well then don't break your head over it. If you have even the slightest scratch though, then do something about it. Otherwise I don't know if it matters
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr0z.mp:
Good call, I will do that. I still would like to know why the double tape and why the sim card tool bag was damaged.

Thanks for your reply!

Well how else would the Fed have been able to install the tracking/eavesdropping software that is now monitoring your every move. ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadehh:
Honestly , mine didn't even have a sticker - bought before yesterday. But alone the fact that it had that front and back sticker (which after removing good luck putting it back on perfectly). left me with some confidence. I was worried at first but after seeing the state the phone is in I thought who cares as long as it seems new and has no scuffs/scratches. I can't stop emphasizing on how much I love my first nexus phone (3rd - 4th android phone). Simply gorgeous.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justin20020:
I've looking for the game "Ao Oni" is there any ported android version or will be someone port it?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] abumaha:
is this phone with bada? c3300i

can unlock it free?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Taxidriver05:
I don't think so...

It seems not to be a Samsung device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wpbear:
I am an Android Fanboy....but the Vivotab Smart for $499 looks really nice and is full Windows 8. Is anybody else thinking about cheating on their Infinity Tabs?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
It looks great, and I had the chance to try one a few weeks ago (in-store). It's a nice device, really, but the customer support on ASUS'part scares me off in buying one of their produtcs again.

(My main gripe with the 700 is the docking mechanism, and they seem to have used another type on the VivoTab. Still.. :P )
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
I like it too...

We had this discussion going before.

All the Windows tablet threads were shutdown however.
[Asus Transformer TF700] the_game_master:
It looks nice, I initially had my hopes and dreams on it, but with ASUS reputation, I rather plonk the additional $300 and get the Surface Pro tablet.

Besides, what I read in reviews, the Intel Atom which I thought was going to be a much more improved generation made for this year, reports are that it struggles to playback Flash and other streaming video compared to the more powerful i5 core Surface Pro.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Indeed, the only technical reason I'd see for staying away as to specifications s the Atom processor used. The full Intel mobiles are so much faster! (Reportedly, most Atoms struggle at even the simplest of tasks.)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
For the $$ to me the win8 tabs just aren't worth it with the ultrabooks sitting at lower prices now.

Been eyeballing the HP Envy x2 selling today for 749 usd.
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I personally stay away from Intel Atom as far as possible. Furthermore, 1080p screen is the main reason I bought the tf700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
With that CPU? Hell no.

There's a science joke just waiting to be made in there somewhere...
[Asus Transformer TF700] pbrauer:
i played for a couple of days with the Vivo, and just bought the wife a Pro and have to say everything I hated about RT and the whole setup is gone. I am not getting rid of my Infinity any time soon, but that Surface Pro is a screaming cool piece of kit.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wpbear:
I should have been more specific on the Thread Title. I am talking about the ME400 Smart which is full windows.

I think I might get one and test drive it. I am leaning 60-40% to get it. I am worried about the lack of apps and the speed. But the positive of the Atom processor is the battery life. I need to find somewhere with the White model locally in stock so I can return it easily if it is slow and laggy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wpbear:
I picked one up yesterday. So far the updating is a problem. Asus live update cannot connect to server and Windows update wouldn't download at first but over night it did. I think the tablet won't do a Windows update unless in standby with no other user actions. Probably due to the slower processor Windows update waits till the user isn't playing. But as far as the Asus live update not connecting at all, that may make the device a deal breaker for me.

Yes Asus screwed up the infinity Rom but the community here fixed that. If Asus update won't work out of the box with this I don't want it since we all know how bad Asus customer support is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eugenekim618:
The Live Update not working is a known issue. Reading old posts, apparently the Live Update did some bios updates that royally messed up the tablet. Perhaps Asus has taken the whole system offline until they get their drivers and updates in order.

My Windows updates were a little slow at first too. But eventually got through them as well.

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

Here's my conversation with Asus Tech Support Live Chat. :)

After my response to Dominic's comment about the 24-48hrs, there was no response. I waited 5min I think, typed my thanks anyway message, then ASUS side dropped the connection. Go figure. <sigh>
[Asus Transformer TF700] wpbear:
I've been playing with it all day and the best thing is the battery life after 8hrs of continuous use it still is at 25 %. But the lack of apps and not Google integration may be the death of it!
[Asus Transformer TF700] eugenekim618:
What sort of Google integration are you looking for? My emails are synced in with the stock mail app...although it is mediocre. Contacts are all loaded in People...

Google Talk, you can just install the app, albeit doesn't run in the Modern UI screen...I just have it synced with IM+ for that. Again, not the best choice, but will do the job for now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wpbear:
No metro apps to keep calendar and contact in sync.

I took it back to best buy, sticking with the Infinity.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kiwi_Dave:
What did you decide? I've been using a Smart for a month or so now, and haven't had any lag issues. Storage can be a bit limited, I've installed Office 2010 Pro and then upgraded (for free) to 2013 (note: this upgrade process didn't uninstall 2010, so I now have both versions), dumped on 20 or so CDs, half a dozen movies and around a dozen apps and I only have 21gig left to play with.

Issues:

1) the screen is the worst for finger prints I've ever used - other than that viewing is ok

2) the windows button seems really unresponsive (on this particular model) - so I end up swiping in from the right and hitting the button from there

3) installing updated and upgrading Office seemed to take longer than I would have expected

4) finding the keyboard and cover (transleeve) isn't easy, I'm still using a cheap cover off eBay. If you have the option I'd buy with the kb and cover if I could start over again...

5) it doesn't come with the Micro USB to USB converter or the Micro HDMI to 9 pin (the Acer w510 has both in the box) - so a purchase off eBay is needed (and associated wait while shipped from China if you want a cheap one)

other that that, it's been all good. really like this little machine, does all I need it to!

[Asus Transformer TF700] Kiwi_Dave:
ok, one more observation (which is both a pro and a con). There is only 1 micro USB which is also used for charging. Having the tablet use a micro USB for charging is a plus in that I can use my phone chargers (including existing car chargers etc) interchangibly. However, I didn't charge the tablet last night (plug was off at the wall) and it was dead this morning. I'm working from home, and can't connect my mouse at the same time as charging the device - which is a bit painful. My keyboard is full Bluetooth, so no issues there - but the mouse uses a USB dongle (which is std for most mouse at the moment) - I'll need to invest in a full Bluetooth mouse as well...

not a biggie, but something to consider for those looking to make a purchase (for example the Acer W510 has a separate charging point, so this wouldn't be an issue. but on the other side of the coin the micro usb car chargers etc wouldn't work.....)
[Asus Transformer TF700] wpbear:
Also it charges slower with the the standard micro USB.

The only thing that Win 8/VivoSmart added for me was the ability to use a SmartCard reader to authenticate in a web browser. But there was too many shortfalls in apps as a tablet interface. I would still want/need a tablet. Now If I didn't already have a full size ultra book then I would consider the VivoSmart due to price and portability. The goal of carry one device still eludes......
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kiwi_Dave:
Hey wpbear - not sure I understand your post ? The Smart is a tablet - doesn't come with a docking station - the keyboard (most often purchased seperatly) is more like the Surface, than a ultrabook...

I guess the app thing isn't really an issue for me. As the Smart is running full Windows (rather than RT) I'm not really using many apps at all. I tend to use full Office and Firefox.. Covers most of my needs.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatexcusenow:
I know there are several ways to tweak the color settings on the Nexus 4 if you use certain kernels, including the RGB 0-255 values and contrast settings through apps such as the paid version of the Franco.kernel updater. I've fooled around with these a bit, and I like the contrast settings but usually roll back to defaults because they are noticeably dimmer than defaults, which is likely to make me turn up the brightness and use more battery. What I'm wondering is if there's a way to remove all color from the display and use a black and white rendering instead? It isn't out of any necessity, I'm just curious and sometimes like reading certain things in B&W because unnecessary colors in ads or UI elements can be distracting. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] itsmemikeeey:
I recently did the Kies update to Jelly Bean on my S3 from Rogers. Everything seemed to be working great afterwards until i noticed that my built in Navigation wasnt working properly. Before the update the Turn-By-Turn would tell me the street names. But now the voice just says " Turn right" or "Turn left." I thought it was just me but my wife updated her S2 to 4.1.2 and now she is having the same issue with her Navigation. Has anyone else had this issue? Can anyone help me fix this? Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
I updated via Kies to 4.1.1 and my Navigation definitely still says street names, etc., but I'm on AT&T...maybe a Rogers user can chime in?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] itsmemikeeey:
I'm assuming that its a Rogers issue because my wife has the S2 and she updated and now is having issues with her Nav as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Good point....maybe change the thread title to include Rogers and someone will notice and check! :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alexandre-P:
Rogers' user here. I get the same problem. I had an S2, which I used daily for work, driving from places to places, and I remember the Navigation app said streets names. Phone broke, and I got an S3. Now, I get the same symptoms as Itsmemickeeey: Navigation only tells to "turn left", but no more "turn left on Main street".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
my wife is at&t running stock/unrooted firmware on her s3 and she had gps and odd navigation issues as well after the kies jb update. i had her back everything up and then i did a full data and cache wipe from stock recovery. that might have been enough but to be sure, i then flashed the latest stock/unrooted firmware in odin and wiped data/cache in recovery again. upon reboot and initial phone setup, she's had zero navigation issues. cheers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] egyptshun:
This is not a gps issue, the apk has been updated to not say it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
Who/why would the stock (google) navigation apk be changed on any one carrier?
[LG Nitro HD] nightlimits:
Received this case in the mail and testing it out. So far, it makes the phone bulky but I don't mind since it has a belt clip and holster to carry it. Protection is out of this world. It has an optional silicone shell outside of the case for added security but holster can be used with or without it. 5 layers of protection, integrated screen protector and a kickstand built into the back of the case. Normally $50, but can be found on amazon for $13-$15. Overall an amazing case and well worth every penny spent. Very sturdy as well as accessible buttons and ports through the case. I would recommend this case for all LG Nitro users. Pics posted soon. Any questions, feel free to ask.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
You got it right that this case is an absolute beast! I've had it since around January or February 2012; don't know why I never thought of writing a review for it... but I digress.

I want to throw in some things which I do that I find really works for me. I got tired of not seeing the full beauty of the HD display; because, lets face it, the plastic screen protector really detracts from the display quality. The fact that little dust particles and pocket lint would get caught up behind that same plastic screen protector and stick out like a sore thumb also got on my nerves terribly. My resolution to these problems: I bought a Zagg Invisible Shield screen protector, another $12-13 from Amazon, and installed it onto the phone. Then, I carefully removed the plastic cover from the Ballistic case and put the phone/case back together. You still retain the awesome protection of the Ballistic case with the stunning beauty of the Nitro's 720p HD display. An added bonus is that you will never have to take the case apart again to clean that one stupid speck that somehow got lodged between the screen and the screen protector 20 minutes after you took it apart and cleaned it!
[LG Nitro HD] nightlimits:
That is true, I haven't had anything get under the protector yet but it does slightly degrade the quality of the screen. It might be worth trying it out. But I am loving this case. Its my second ballistic case and I'll never buy another brand of case for any phone. Thanks for the added input and work around.
[LG Nitro HD] kike990:
Ballistic is awesome and i have one !!!! Sorry for my bad english!!!
[LG Nitro HD] nightlimits:
I'm probably gonna go with the ghost armor and do the same, as far as removing the screen protector on the case. But overall, I love it. Its a beast.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
yeah i bought this case 2 days after i bought my phone, great case but i had to use a knife and carve out around the microphone hole cuz they didn't make it big enough, this also actually helped the microphone cover to stay on better when not being used :)

i also cut the screen protector out of it cuz i use replacable ones that give better vision of the screen.
[LG Nitro HD] wutname:
will any of the mentioned cases work with batery boosters? (hyperion and what not)
[LG Nitro HD] nightlimits:
Have not tried any battery booster along with the case. As far as I know, it fits the stock phone securely in the case as it doesn't move around at all and provides excellent protection. (Ballistic hard core case)
[LG Nitro HD] wutname:
do you think if you removed the nitros back cover, and your battery was twice as large that it'd still fit inside the ballistic HC? (try putting a folded bill in to test)
[LG Nitro HD] nightlimits:
Well, I don't have a bill to fold.. lol, but it is possible that you may be able to. I just can't say either way and I'm not gonna tell you yea and have it not fit. All I can say is try it and see and if you can't use it, sell it. Its a $50 case for cheap. So its worth it if it does fit.
[LG Nitro HD] elgiraffe:
I have one of these. It's pretty awesome protection, but it is way to big for my taste.

Does anyone know of case with protection close to as good as this one but slimmer?
[LG Nitro HD] nightlimits:
You can try a body glove. Comparable to otterbox. Less bulk but good protection.
[LG Nitro HD] wistlo:
Ballistic Soft Gel - thinner alternative to Hard Case

I have the Ballistic Soft Gel case

http://www.amazon.com/Nitro-Ballist...1367820799&sr=1-6&keywords=ballistic+lg+nitro

that does not have the screen protector or removable extra outer cushion. It's slightly thinner, with hefty rubber cushions at the corners and a hard plastic back. The Soft Gel case is easier to remove than the Hard Case. The rubber corner cushions protrude above the screen and protect the front of the phone from any "incoming" flat surfaces. like a floor.

It has protected my phone through a few nasty drops, and yet the touch screen is open and directly accessible (and unprotected).
[LG Nitro HD] lionman229:
This case sucked. I tried three and on all of them the opening which was frustrating to open completely would leak dust in so much. This caused me to open up the case once a day to clean the device causing the opening mechanism to be even more broken. The screen protector scratched easily and the gap between it and the screen was ridiculously big. Get the soft gel ballistic. That plus zagg screen protector is the best option for this device!
[LG Nitro HD] audit13:
I had the same issued with mine as well. Before putting it inside the Ballistic, I had applied an Xtremeguard screen protector. Since the space between the Ballistic screen cover and the phone screen was not constant, it looked as if there was water on my screen because the Ballistic screen was touching the Xtremeguard in some places but not others. Removing the Xtremeguard solved this issue. I have to open my Ballistic to clear out the dust every two weeks.

I'm currently using an allshare cast dongle to mirror my phones display to a Pioneer Appradio2. Its an awesome setup but im stuck on a stock rooted rom because of the allshare cast. I thought I had read somewhere that someone was running CM10.1 with the allshare cast working. Can anyone confirm if it works or not?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] markriveranig:
Yes they got it it working in one of these roms. Keep searching, i been away for a while with a stock gs3 thanks to the allshare dongle so Im back hoping they have a fix for the sprint version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] azndy:
Allshare dongle with CM10.1

Running the same setup as you with the Appradio and ARLiberator. I tried multiple TouchWiz roms and got a Jelly 'Beans' to work with Triangle Away. Finally I gave up and went to CM10.1. While messing around with settings, I figured out how to make this work! I'm using a VZW Galaxy SIII, so not sure if the CM build for your phone will be the same but try this:

Turn on the Allshare Cast dongle

On phone go to Settings > Display > Wireless Display

Turn Wireless Display ON

Tap on Dongle to connect

Hopefully that will get you up and running with CM10.1 and your Allshare Cast Dongle.

I have installed CM10.1 but I don't see a Wireless Display option in the Display settings. I have yet to go out to the car to see if it only appears when the Allshare Cast is turned on so I will give that a try. Thanks for the reply. I will report back later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mad212:
I have no problem getting the allshare cast to work with stock based roms using a stock kernel with the stock boot.img. You just have to run triangle away after flashing rom and boot.img.

Yeah tried more but nothing. Guess I'll have to beg our devs to include the wireless display option if possible. Thanks for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RunNgun42:
So how does this thing work? Are you supposed to connect your phone to your home wifi network to access the dongle? Do the two access each other through some sort of ad-hoc connection? I dont have home internet, I just tether from my cellphone, however I would like to start streaming hulu/netflix stuff using my cellphone to mirror the screen. Will these 2 devices be able to see each other and still use my cellular data?

UPDATE: Ok so I just grabbed one from the Verizon store to figure it out myself. Setup was a breeze, just plug the hub in, hit the button 1 time on the back (or until the LED turns blue) then go into settings/display/wireless display. You do not have to be on any kind of WiFi network, apparently the device and cellphone operate on their own independent spectrum or something. It saw the device immediately and took about 30 seconds to actually connect. Then the display started mirroring. Only problem was a little lag and some visual artifacting on screen. Enough that I'm actually taking it back for a refund, what a shame, really liked the concept.
