[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
1) its a nexus device so its bloat free. Not everyone wants to record things so why force it onto everyone ? If you need said function you have the choice of adding said function

2) the sound recorder apk is used when you want to record an audio to an MMS.

3) not all apps require absurd permissions though I would agree that many do go to far in asking for permissions, BUT you always have the choice of not installing them.

Though some of the app permission names are written not as clear so it appears to be overreaching. Let's take a game. It asks to modify and delete USB storage. Normal as when you save a game its needs to be able to write to the phone. The other two you mentioned on not to educated on so I won't comment on yet

4) I looked into the music timer app you mentioned and I do agree that call phone number permission should not be their but again if you don't like it don't install it and try something else

5) your school email I don't see what the deal is? Permission to delete data, what do you think happens when you delete an email? It needs permission to delete it. Password rules is their to enforce your emails/schools password rules when using exchange
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shultz11588:
The email permissions can be due to it being a corporate mail server, so in order to prevent confidential information from being stolen, the admin can do things like remotely wipe the phone or disable the camera.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Messerschmitt262:
So basically if I don't like 1 permission out of several for a specific app, then my only option is to not use the app at all and find an alternative, or if there is no alternative, live without it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace7196:
Yeah, the permissions suck. Luckily the Android ecosystem has developed where there's enough competition that you can usually find what you want from a dev who doesn't want to hijack your phone. There are a lot of small guys out there, but they make some of the best apps. Low on permissions, holo-themed, great support. I usually find good devs on XDA with cool projects and donate as soon as I check out and like there app (GYT is the most recent example).

HOWEVER, if you are on an deodexed ROM (so, not stock), this works great: PDroid. Free, clean, doesn't crash apps (like Permissions Denied).

I want to reset my tablet due to I'm going to be selling it. I've unrooted it, but SpuerSU is still on the system. I've gone into the backup and reset and selected factory reset and it asks for a PIN number, which I thought I knew, but I guess I don't cause it doesn't like anything I type in.

I have also booted holding power and volume up/right. I get a warning menu about pressing left to flash new rom or right to cancel...

What do I do? I want to reload this to like the day I unboxed it...

Based on it asking for a pin number it sounds like you setup a pin at some point. I run a pin number on my superSU but I'm not sure what happens when you forget the pin number.

I know inside supersu there's an option for full unroot.

Maybe message chainfire the dev of it. I looked at it just now and there's nothing that comes up if you forget the pin number

[General Questions and Answers] alljokingaside:
Hey,

I'm heading back to the US after being in SK for a bit. I'm considering getting a LG LU6200; save for the battery life, it's an amazing phone for the price. Anyway, I'm wondering if I'd be able to use it in the US.

I saw that the phone operates on the 2100 band for 3G (HSDPA), which Metro PCS and T-Mobile operates on accd. to Wiki, and the 800 band for 4G, which Sprint operates on.

Theoretically this should be possible, but I've just had a friend who's moved back to the States w/ the same phone that said something to the effect that he couldn't. But he also only tried Verizon. =/

Since most folks here probably haven't used this phone, I'm wondering whether or not you've been in a similar situation that ended in success. (ie Have you been able to use a non-US phone with US carriers?)

Also, I'm wondering whether or not this is a good idea since I'd be restricted to a single band, which I assume increases the likeliness of dropped calls/weak signals, etc.

I've asked other forums, but haven't really gotten a response.

Thanks

I was using my Galaxy note 2 Tmobile Version U.S and I took out the battery because it froze. When I turned it back on many of my apps were being force closed. So I did a factory data reset. And now its in a bootloop. For instance, it shows the Samsung Logo and then shows the Android animation and then turns off. This cycle is ongoing since this morning and I have not been able to get anywhere. Can anyone please help me. And please make it as easy to understand as possible im not good with all this technicaly terms and stuff please. It would really mean a lot to me.

Carbon 1.5 | Kroz Hue Brown Theme | Crack Flasher
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ngclassicsgb:
Try this. I had a similar problem. You have to do this in sequence otherwise itll just start back to load screen and start the loop.

Make sure you have your usb cable plugged into your computer not an outlet. But not the phone yet.

1.Take battery out. Make sure phone is asleep.

2. Plug usb into phone port but dont be in any phone rooting (odin) program or Kies or anything that would try to talk to the phone without promting it.

Heres the tricky hands part.

3. Volume up. Home button. Then your power button and slip battery in at the same time. I cradled the battery in my palm just far enough away to pop it in right when I hit the power button.

Sounds crazy I know but once I got that sequence my phone popped right into recovery mode. Im a test engineer in the automotive ind. by trade so im assuming from my experience when you take the battery out the phone can truly sleep. Which for whatever reason maybe helped it do a direct power up into download mode. Hope that helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexrt890:
Okay I will try and do that. Can you tell me a step by step procedure on how to do that please. I would really appreciate it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexrt890:
Oh thanks for the info! I tried it but sadly it still didnt work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] josetorres:
I could be wrong, but maybe not.

If it has been rooted i think vol up + home + pwr , and release only the pwr when logo shows should put it into recovery.

vol down + home + pwr should put it in download mode.

someone correct this if wrong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexrt890:
Yes you are correct. But whenever i put it into recovery nothing happens
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] My1xT:
maybe you miss the timing a bit, also happens ofetn to me.

when you have the phone of you hold down Vol+, Home and Power when the Note 2 Logo appears you hold all 3 for about half a second and the you release power and dont release vol+ and Home

[General Topics] Pennycake:
It really depends on where you live and why you have a phone.

I considered this when leaving my Sprint contract but decided not to for what I think is a very important reason. Emergencies. What if something happens and I need to make a call and I'm not near WIFI ? What if I'm not near anything ? What if I can't wait to go hunt down a free WIFI spot before I need to make a call ? What if I or someone else is hurt and can't wait ?

To me, mobile web and ability to play games is a much smaller concern than personal safety.

My "dumbphone" saved me from bad situations by being able to make a phone call without having to walk for miles.

If I could live without mobile data, I would go for a pre-paid minutes SIM that allows you to at least connect to cell towers if you need it. There are emergencies where it's not appropriate to call 911, yet being able to call a friend or family member will save your sorry hide if you're able to.

Ultimately, I went with T-Mobile's 100 min/unlimited tex/5Gb data plan for $30/mo because it's pretty cool to be able to stream Netflix in-between my lab and other classes and to be able to use navigation if I'm lost or just need to know something without trying to find a 24/7 coffee shop with free wifi.

So i was ambitious, and decided to flash 4.2.1

Well the method i chose was fastboot.

Booted into fastboot, typed fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob (blob is extracted from update zip on Asus website)

went okay booted and everything :) didnt even erase my data!

Now i proceeded to install TWRP 2.4.4 and that went smooth as well.

Rebooted to recovery, NO PASSWORD PROMPT went into "Mount" and was able to mount EVERYTHING successfully. Even through the terminal window.

Installed SuperSu1.25 and now have full Root.

I am in the process of extracting System files and deodexing now.

But everything went perfectly with the upgrade. TWRP 2.4.4 seems to be perfect too.
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Just a quick question please. You said you got root back. Did you use twrp 2.4.4 to flash that back in, because I'm assuming you lost it when you flashed to the system partition with fastboot.

Thank you for posting your experience. I have the tools, just didn't have the nerve yet lol.
[Transformer TF300T General] elesbb:
yes twrp 2.4.4 works with no issues. just installed a dummy zip i created that puts a text file into system directory and everything worked.
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
So I think I messed up. I flashed the zip with tarp. I have things back in and the new 2.4.4.0 loaded but nothing mounts so I can't flash root. Darn it.

Forget the first part as you've already flashed the Asus update. In the section that tells you how to flash recovery, download the files in the link he provides for fastboot and TWRP.

Is it smoother compare to cleanrom on 4.1?
[Transformer TF300T General] tritran18518:
Honestly, it's smoother than 4.1 stock rom but no way it can't smoother than custom roms. BTW, asus messed up camera application really bad for this update. No touch to focus while recording video, video recording still have annoying high pitch sound, ugly camera interface. Why don't they just leave the stock 4.2.1 camera alone ?
[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:
mine has high pitch sound since 4.1..... but none on 4.0

yeah thankfully i dont record anything. But touch to focus works just fine. The high pitch squealing is the only issues so far. Very very smooth. I'd say it's to par with clean ROM 4.1. Meaning, clean ROM 4.2 is going to be orgasmic ^-^
[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:

btw, which UI did you choose? 4.2 or Old one?

There goes my hope of I/O getting improved.....
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Yes I am. So here was my sequence of events.

I was on TWRP 2.4.3.0, and with that, flashed the JB4.2 zip from asus - success

Rebooted into the main system - success

Rebooted back into the bootloader with USB plugged in and instantly began using fastboot, used that to flash TWRP 2.4.4.0 - success

Accessed TWRP 2.4.4.0 - success - however, I can't mount a thing inside of it, and I get that infamous password prompt when it starts, but I can cancel that and continue, but I can't access internal or external storage, and it thinks I have no OS.

I reflashed JB4.2 blob file this time using fastboot system - success

Reflashed 2.4.4.0 recovery also using fastboot recovery - success

Tablet boots fine as before, but TWRP still has no mounting available, can't flash anything, can't restore anything cause it can't read where my backups normally are.

So that is the state I'm in, and I know I've read others in that state too, but don't know if a resolution was found. I was thinking of flashing 4.1 back in, but scared of that out of fear of a brick.

Flash 4.2.1 using fastboot. Then flash the recovery he listed. There is a difference between the two. Not sure what but the one from twrp website does not work.
