[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknownprotocols:
I am currently using aokp 4.2.2, with avast, adaway, textsecure, and have orweb (although I don't think I have ever even started it. lol)

I have nothing to hide, but I occasionally have OCD spurts where I do a lot of research into security and privacy. I am not terribly concerned about the government tracking me... My life is simply not that interesting. lol. I AM, however, a firm believer that if you can do something to improve your security, better safe than sorry.

I am not a master programmer yet, but I have been looking into rom development.

I started this thread to be a discussion of security enhancements and their viability / transparency / ease-of-use / effectiveness. All thoughts are appreciated, and I would love to hear what steps you take to make your device more secure. Also, I would like to hear from those who have used something in the past, but no longer because it was annoying / etc.

Which? Why? Recommendations? (Not just asking for me, this is more for those who may read this thread, and may want to improve security on their Nexus.)

I use Droidwall to control, which app has access to the internet. This is very helpful to keep the data usage down and to suppress ads. Also, you can make absolutely sure nothing is accessing the data connection while roaming - although I never had any problems with that.

This may not help you against the government, though ;)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel@23:
Hello, I have samsung i9300 s3 , n8000 note 10.1 and samsung smart tv 55es8000.In addition I don't have allshare cast dongle.

I can sync between TV and s3,note 10.1 (allshare play, it works)

But, allshare cast doesn't work. İf TV Samsung smart tv ,alshare cast dongle which costs 100 $ still necessary?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empedokles:
Don't read specs of your tv, but the es5700 does not support all share cast. So check your rv specs. If not supported you need the dongle.

Also maybe interesting: I read in other forum that the i9300 will only display 720p with the dongle due to ram limitation. That came directly from samsung support. Actually note2 and s3lte should be the only devices playing full hd with the dongle.

Maybe samsung already changed this behaviour via firmware... dont know
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel@23:
I think this TV support allshare cast

In tv menu-net-allshare

allowed devices-gti 9300-gt n8000

but in s3 allshare cast ---no devices found

I can't understand this case
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empedokles:
hmm.. read a bit in other forums... seems that even samsung gives different answers.

Actually it seems that all tv's don't support all net cast without dongle.

But if you tv has wifi n standart and it could be that samsung sometimes enables all share cast on your tv via update.

Haven't found anybody who get all share cast working without donge. even on samsung top models.

I guess they simply haven't activated this feature until today.

The "alowed shared devices" are those devices that alre allowed to stream videos via all share play to you tv.

The difference is that all share cast, completely clone your desktop to tv, while all net play just send the media you're watching like video, photo etc. Check your default video player while watching video. You'll habe a "share symbol" on the uper right corner.

Press it and you stream the video to your tv.

Hope samsung will activate the all share cast on tv that support wifi n

I sold a 10.1" asus (tf101) transformer to buy my N4 figuring the phone could double as a tablet and so far, it's doing the job; better, if anything (It hasn't creashed yet!).

The N4 screen is obviously physically smaller but screen resolution is practically the same @ 1280x768 vs. 1280x800, so I simply hold the N4 closer to my eyes assisted as necessary by reading glasses. i'm aged 54 and wouldn't have required those in my 30s. There is also the option of plugging-in to a TV or monitor via the slimport adaptor.

of course my fingers now place a proportionately larger fingerprint on the touchscreen requiring a more delicate touch than with the 10" screen, but i use a BT mouse and keyboard when precise work is needed. Coupled with the DroidEdit app, I can finally use an android device as a productivity tool.

My asus had better battery life than the N4 but i've bought an Anker 10,00mAh portable charger to keep it going practically indefinitely.

finally I use an app called "screen rotation" to auto-rotate the Home screen, just like my old asus, so that i can use the phone entirely in landscape orientation while mounted on a stand.

when i sold the asus I kept my 7" blackberry playbook as a fallback but even that isn't getting much use now.

what else can a tablet do that the N4 can't?
[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
I still prefer using my Nexus 7 to my Nexus 4 for most tasks... It's really inexplicable, technically the N4 is better in every way, the screen is better, the CPU is faster, the GPU is more powerful, they have similar battery life.... But somehow I just prefer working on a physically larger screen.

Then again, maybe I'm just stupidly fussy. Obviously, I can and do use my N4 for everything I'd use the 7 for, I don't always have the 7 with me...
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
i haven't touched my N7 since i got my N4, damnit google lol
[Nexus 4 General] turbodroid:
If my phone had a 10" screen and a hot pluggable keyboard like my Transformer Prime, sure I'd ditch the tablet. All kidding aside, no way will a tiny handheld phone replace my 10" tablet.
[Nexus 4 General] io53:
I can't see my N4 replacing the iPad, the screen is too small so I have to focus more when I do stuff on the phone than I do on the tablet (I mostly do SSH and some light surfing).
[Nexus 4 General] theabsurdman:
screen too small? not if you're wearing magnifying glasses and you have it <8" from your eyes. it looks like a 42" TV!

i'm used to viewing upclose now and do prefer it over the heft of my old asus.

i'm also finding my igo stowaway BT keyboard preferable to the transformer detachable keyboard for similar reasons.
[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
How do you hold it 8" away from your face whilst using a keyboard comfortably though? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] theabsurdman:
you don't actually need it that close. i was making the point that apparent screen size is contingent on distance from the viewer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh5kZ4uIUC0

i was using my mouse and keyboard on a train last week with the N4 propped-up on the keyboard's stand and wearing +1.5 reading glasses, it was very usable.

i don't doubt it.

but why take 2 bottles into the shower?
[Nexus 4 General] beegbear:
What else can a tablet do that your n4 can't?

It gives you the comfort to sit back relax and enjoy it (the tablet), all in one package - without the hassle of switching between using your fingers and a bluetooh mouse (???????) On a tiny device.

If you must only have one device then I guess an n4 can be productive. However productivity on a tablet is much better.

[Nexus 4 General] micks_address:
Yeah i had a nexus 7 and sold it along with my old phone to fund the purchase of the n4, very happy with the n4, but i'll probably pick up another n7 or its successor in the summer as for watching video/browsing the web the bigger size is much nicer..

Hi.

Got a little problem.

I changed my unlock pattern today and stupid as i am i forogot it.

I haven't approved it on my Google Account either so i can't unlock it with my Google Account either.

All i can do now is a factory reset... but how do i do that without access to the phone?

thanks

lolsharp
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opticaldh:
next time, draw the pattern down before you confirm it.

I dont know if there is any other solution, but if you want to make a factory reset, then it doesn't need to go access the phone.

To do that, follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312

Maybe you should wait one day to see if anyone has another solution before reset to factory condition.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shultz11588:
I doubt there's going to be an easy solution, that would defeat the purpose of security.

Vol-down and power button will boot you into bootloader mode, from there you can use the vol buttons to select recovery.

Hold vol-up and press power button, repeat until you see some text at the top of the screen. You should be able to select "factory reset".

Good luck!

You don't have to install CWM TWRP is fine as your main recovery.

don't install any ROM for the N7100, that is the non LTE version of the Note 2, it will brick your phone.

CM10 is Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. CM10.1 is 4.2 Jelly Bean.

Read the forums for the specific ROM it will give instructions on installing the ROM even if it mentions to use CWM, installing with TWRP is fine.

READ READ READ and have fun :)
