[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaJunkay:
Anyone else? When I'm reading something the screen just changes brightness by a little factor on it's own. I flashed 4.2.1 factory image and then flashed 4.2.2 update over it before even booting, so it was a clean install. This didn't happen on 4.2.1
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hepatiit:
It draw my attention too. I had autobrightness on and I realised I managed to cover the sensor with my finger time to time. Brightness sensor is near the camera. Even a shadow on sensor will dim the brightness.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
There is a solution to this... but you will need ROOT.

---------------------

For some reason, and for some Nexus 7 devices... what is called SMARTDIMMER doesn't work properly.

SMARTDIMMER is a feature of JellyBean 4.2.x... it doesn't appear in JellyBean 4.1.x

It's supposed to be a BATTERY SAVING feature... adapting the brightness of the screen, according to some unknown heuristic.

It's entirely possible this could be a hardware fault, that afflicts only a minority of Nexus 7 owners... but for those whose devices it does afflict... it's a damn nuisance... and an irritating one at that.

---------------------

Fortunately, SMARTDIMMER can be disabled.

Unfortunately, you need ROOT to do it.

---------------------

For those with ROOT access, here's how...

Using Terminal Emulator,

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en

...type the following... you will be requested to grant ROOT access, after typing su...

su
echo "0" > /sys/devices/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable

This simple command will disable SMARTDIMMER... and will render

screen brightness fluctuations

a thing of the past.

Unfortunately, however...., it won't survive a reboot:(.

---------------------

To obviate the need to enter this command after every reboot, you can automate the process using Script Manager,

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&hl=en

...running this script...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37483979/SmartDimmerDisable.sh

This script is a simple text file that contains the above command (minus the su command..., Script Manager will take care of that).

---------------------

Here's how to set it all up..

Download the SmartDimmerDisable script and copy to whatever folder you like on your Nexus 7. It really doesn't matter where it goes, providing you remember where it is.

Run Script Manager... using it's file manager, navigate to the folder where you placed the SmartDimmerDisabled script... select it as SCRIPT/EXECUTABLE and set as ROOT(SU) and BOOT.

Click on 'run' first, to execute the script and more importantly, to grant SU root permissions to Script Manager

Click on 'save'... and then exit.

And that's it... unless you revoke SU permissions for Script Manager, the SmartDimmerDisabled script will be executed every time you boot your Nexus7.

---------------------

I can only speak from my own personal experiences, but using this method and also disabling the AUTO-BRIGHTNESS feature has wholly eradicated the 'random screen brightness fluctuations', that have long bedevilled my Nexus 7.

---------------------

Very considerable THANKS must go to Metallice for this...

...here is his original thread...which seems to be more focused on 'colour washout' after watching video's - something I've never experienced.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1815414

Hope this (long) post is of use... to somebody...

Hi All,

For those that do not know anything about Fused Locations app, a small history:

I install the [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean - I9000 [RC2]

The problem was that it stuck in boot loop.

After many cleans, wipes, and whatever is there before installing AND factory resets the outcome was:

I used app quarantine, to disable the Fused Location App and it seems that the slim bean does NOT start if you disable an app that "locate your position through GPS or wifi to save battery"?????????!!!!!!!

I decide to check more 4.2.1 roms

Results :

Fireworm

RemICS JB 4.2

TsunamiX

Backed

AndroSlim

ALL with the same issue, you quarantine that app they are not working.

ALL CM 10.1

If there is a NON CM rom, please, suggest it and I ll try it.

I went back to Slim Bean 4.1.2 to realize that you can not use that rom because the keyboard is crushing and without a keyboard. :(

BUT, I had a keyboard.apk and I manage to run the rom.

PS

In the next couple of days, I ll try with back up versions of 4.2, 4.1 and the help from Titanium Backup, to use as much features of the 4.2 to the 4.1. I ll also can post the apps that I blocked with "app quarantine" and my phone is stable, fast, good battery life without any issues.

People come to dev post to install software to their device. If that software is monitoring them as the stock rom do, at my point of view it may be a reason NOT to download the "new shiny roms", (roms that belong in dev).

If there was something like it, where do you suppose to find it? FAQ?

[Windows 8 General] galtom:
Hi,

few days ago a friend showed me a great OSx functionality - Smart Folders.

Basically it is a "virtual" folder, does not really contains files but rather an active search folder.

Let say you want to have a place that will display only word/text documents created within last 5 days, or only doc files.... regardless of where they really are.

Can you get such functionality in Windows?

I know "search" pretty good but using it instead of set folder, means we have to perform search every time we want to display files we look for,
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
There's a thing in Windows (going all the way back to Vista) called "Saved Searches" although I've never met anybody who uses it. Open Explorer and run a search. Use the Search tab on the Ribbon to refine the search, if you want - search by date, or size, or exclude certain file types, or whatever - and then click Save Search. Specify the location you want the saved search to appear in under the filesystem (defaults to <username>\Searches). It will appear as a special sort of washed-out folder icon with a search icon superimposed on it.

You can also create "virtual folders" that combine the contents of several real folders; that's all that libraries are. It's easy to create your own, too. Probably not what you were referring to, though.
[Windows 8 General] geddeeee:
Libraries ARE smart folders.... Apple playing 'catch up' again!!!!!
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
As described, I actually thing the saved search folders are much closer... but yeah, as I said, that's been in Windows since 2006.
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
The only thing I find annoying with "saved search" that I cant' set it to update on intervals. It is only updating when I open the folder - this means I have to wait :(

I do not know Mac OS at all but form what I seen it looked to be working "more user friendly" on Mac Pro.

Hello everybody.. im really not happy..

I was updating my quarx rom from november to the new one.. when i installed it worked good, but well when i try download the gallery and keyboard of the android 4.2 it crashes my gallery/camera of my defy+...

Then i installed the rom again and the rom comes all bugged, the wifi not working more, the browser dont opening, some buttons not working..

then i decided to make a Downgrade to a stable mode of jordan (cyanogenmod 7.2.0 jordan stablemod)

But in the downgrade my defy+ bricks and when i tried to flash it, i downloaded the SBF from here: sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php the SBF from VIVO Brasil.

I put it on the rsd lite and the rsd appears "restarting system .. 10%, 50% and then 100%" but when it go to 100% the rsd asks to reboot manually... and now its reboot automatically, without stop, just start on motorola logo and VIVO logo then restart, it cant stop, just if i take off the baterry...

When i try to connect the usb it dont appears in the RSD anymore...

Its totally bricked? I will lose my defy+?

Can someone help me???

Thanks!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intemptesta:
When "please manaully power up this phone" comes up, there're special steps you must take, not just rebooting. (Found somewhere here, but can't remember where)

Flash your phone again (Make sure you flash the latest build, 2.3.6 DFP-231 or you'll face another brick "black screen".

1. When the message comes up again, don't close RSDlite yet.

Remove USB, power off phone. Leave RSDlite open.

2. Remove phone's battery, wait 5 sec, put it back and boot into Bootloader Mode

3. Connect USB again, RSDlite will recognize your phone and continue flashing.

4. RSDlite should show Finish/pass now, if the phone not reboot itself, do it.

5. If stuck at boot logo, try Stock recovery> wipe data/ wipe cache.

Hi ,

Recently updated to JB 4.1.1 from ICS and have found that there is no longer the USB setting select as hard disk so my smart TV will not detect it as an external hard drive anymore.

This mass storage feature was one of the main reasons I went to android and the jerks have taken the option away.

Is there any work around?

any way to get my TV to detect the phone?

or any way to revert back to ICS without rooting?

This is driving me insane.

Spoke to HTC today and they just told me to reset and it should be plug and play. RUBBISH!!!!

Why remove functionality. If I wanted to stay with the similar setup to Iphone , I would have stck with Iphone.

If it needs to be rooted , How? I am very new to this.

Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC One X] Scrambled777:
I'm fairly sure that the JB 4.1 Sense ROM should still have mass USB storage capabilities, but I cannot say for certain since I haven't used it all that much. I just think it is a bit odd that they have deliberately taken it away like you mentioned.

However, I was using CM10 which is a custom ROM based on 4.1 JB and I was able to use USB mass storage with no issues. So assuming your phone isn't some hardware fault, it shouldn't be too hard to get back mass storage by rooting your phone and flashing a suitable custom ROM.

You should probably start your own thread for your own issue.

@OP: Yeah it turns out that Sense doesn't have mass storage. If you do want it, you can always root your phone and flash a custom ROM.

Root your phone, flash clockwork mod recovery and use the mass storage option functionality in recovery. That's the temporary work around for me.. I feel you man.

I like LBE Privacy Guard, especially for its on-demand permission requests when an app asks to access my SMS Inbox or whatnot; I like that I can ensure that it never accesses it, always does without asking, or continues to ask each time.

I'm also using the firewall with mixed results; I don't like having to choose each app and whether it's allowed to access the internet via 3g/wifi ahead of time. I'd like a popup request with similar options (though I guess it would be more like a timeout rather than per-session, e.g. "yes it can access the internet over my 3g connection but only for the next 10 minutes."

Is there already an app that does this? I've checked a few firewall apps like Droid Wall (and a few similar apps) and they don't offer this on-demand (or on-app-accessing-internet, I suppose!)

I'm rooted, of course, so I'm not constrained there.

I reckon that LBE Privacy Guard should help you with that: you can switch on traffic monitoring and get a listing of how much data each app has used.

I'd advise you to do this for a week and then switch it off (after you've worked out what's costing you money), as the data monitor drains battery faster!
