charging dock for a Nexus 7 tablet that has a large, bulky cover on it? Is there one?

Thanks,

None that I'm aware of, but I'll keep an eye out. I would love to charge this qi like my n4.

Why would you want it to be bulky...

That would make it less portable

Well hello guys... first of all: thank you for taking your time to try to help me, I really appreciate that.

Secondnly, I was about to flash a new kernel (the lates nAa) and I had fullfilled all of the requirements on the thread. But! When I was going to pick the kernel from Flashtool i accidently picked the one that comes with the flashtool (X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf) and just now when im writing this i see that it is even named: BLRelock which i think has to mean bootloader relock(?).

However, this resulted to that i cannot boot the phone, don't get any response by pressing buttons, and no green light when trying to get to flashmode.

Ive heard that your phone gets bricked if you relock it when you're on another kernel.

Have you got any solution to this?

Kind regards

Kiwiii
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leon1234:
Please search first.Because a lot of threads concerning this issue has been opened in XDA.

And to your problem:

Its probably a Hard brick.Means,you cant revive the phone by yourselves.:( You may need to use JTAG or just send the phone to Sony Repair shops. They will fix it for you.:) If you are under warranty just say that "My phone just went of on its own!" or anything like that as the cause of the Hard Brick. Otherwise you will have to take out some money from your pocket!

Has anyone noticed, installed the latest wave of European firmware? Sammobile has a Feb/Mar release XXLQD for a number of regions.

Curious to know what changed...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Idlekilla:
I installed the feb update for nordic contries a week ago, and together with A1 1.8.3c, this one is super slick and smooth. Could be that it's no more smooth than other ics-versions, but in my head it is, and that's what counts.

:p
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Mihnea1996:
I have installed the Swiss release.I'm so happy with this new rom,everything works good, but touchwiz is a bit laggy at first touch.Any solution for this isue?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Idlekilla:
Try another launcher. I use adw ex, which s really nice and smooth.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Mihnea1996:
The launchers from Play Store uses more energy(around 30-50% CPU).I have seen that touchwiz from Swiss rom uses around 15% CPU , is very good optimized(compared with honeycomb launcher).The lag problem is touchwiz specific( you can see that in Galaxy S4 hands-on on Youtube).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
Does anyone notice specific improvements compared to the Nov/Dec releases (European XXLQ6)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
What were you on before? The earlier European ICS release?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Idlekilla:
I'm not sure. I think I've been on almost all of safarikings older ROMs (up to v.4.0.x.x). But as I said it could all be in my head. I do however notice that hitting the home button results in a silky smooth transition, whereas before it stuttered like hell (even with adw ex).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] ealax:
It is worth trying it? Im am currently in LP7 and I have to say that I am satisfied, however I notice that sometimes the tablet gets dark and it forces me to reset by holding the power button.

Despite that I got HDMI, phone calls (with its bugs on) and all necessary things I need.

Is it LQD more stable?

Re: XDA II to PC BlueTooth for internet browsing via DSL lin

Yes it is possbile. You need to connect via bluetooth activesync. It might depend on what bluetooth your laptop uses. Mine is Belkin and that works great.

any special setup

Hi i am connected via bluetooth activesync but still can't access the ADSL Internet that my PC is using. do i need to make any changes any where.

thanks

can u be kind enough to let me know the procedures for using bluetooth and activesync...i have tried but failed.

thanx
[Networking] raheeeb:
it took me a whole day work to get it work and at the end i discover 2 things.

1. We have to read manuals carefull and follow instalation instructions for bluetooth software and driver .

2. to activate activeSync simply go to you XDA II and select ActiveSync from start --> activeSync and then go to tools and select connect via Bluetooth.

thats it, now how can i make it access internet using ActiveSync , i have no IDEA
[Networking] fluppie007:
check if there is a V before PASS-TROUGH ( in activesync )

Hi what do you mean by a V before PASS-TROUGH!! , i have selected in RULES to use internet and i checked "open active synch when my mobile connect"

Hey everyone, I'm getting really sick of all android store "RPG" games being ones like tiny tower... Kind of annoying. I want a new game that i can say this is what I've achieved, look how awesome my max level archer looks. So I'm meaning something like zenonia, but not necessarily that genre, pretty much anything i can show off with to others playing the same game. I'm sure you guys know what i mean, and I'm sure you will come up with a few games that i will enjoy very much. For future reference, if I've tried the game, i will simply disregard the comment to not clog up comments with "Thank you's" although i do appreciate your comment very much, don't take it as offensive. :) Thanks in advance, your fellow android user.

Please post
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Usually I'm the one answering these types of questions, but my knowledge of these operations has been quite outdated since ICS came around.

I have to help a neighbor return his phone to stock--the modem, the recovery, the ROM....the whole kit and kaboodle (wow that's a stupid saying...haha) before replacing it.

I'd start by backing up all SD data, all apps, and then transferring the contacts over to the sim, so he can use a backup phone between the time the old one is on its way out, and the new one/replacement is on its way in.

Next would be on to the flash counter...it just needs to say 0 really. I understand that there'll always be a way to tell it's been modified, but if it says zero, it will cool some minds. The flash counter reset that's been around...it still works, right? There's no reason why a change from GB to ICS, and on to JB would cause it to suddenly brick a phone, right?

After that comes the tricky part. My knowledge of ODIN and ADB are acceptable, to doing the actual flashing shouldn't be the issue. The issue is that we don't have a nandroid, and even if we did, we'd still need to replace the CWM recovery with the stock one. In addition to the above, my knowledge of RTS's is from the old days--heralding all the way back to the Gingerbread times..../sigh...those were the days. So here comes the part(s) I need help with. I spent hours and hours flipping through search after search, thread after thread, comment after comment. And threads that hit the key words are all dead, have dead links, or haven't had any activity in them since before ICS was officially released. This means that there is no anecdotal evidence of someone doing what I'm trying to with a setup that's similar.

So...I need an overview--just a generalized one-- so I choose the right process, instructions, downloads, etc.

Can you gentlemen/gentle ladies give me a hand, and tell me what I need/need to do, and what threads I should follow? Hopefully my Karma here in the Q&A is strong! :)

Then I use Kies to return everything else to 100% stock.

[Xperia Z General] scottreeddev:
I'm not sure if anyone noticed this but I stumbled across this at the end of last weekend. It's quite simple to bypass any lock screen on the XPeria Z, I emailed Sony but no response so it's probably something we should be aware of.

I can't post a link but I have put a video up on my website scottreed.eu
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LLq1gxIt5YQ

Edit:

Another way to get Sony's attention would be if everyone hit that "Tip us?" button on the top right. If the issue got even more attention the chances would become bigger that Sony fixes this issue faster.
[Xperia Z General] scottreeddev:
Thanks for posting the direct link :good:
[Xperia Z General] Dannyada1988:
Maybe we can install some security app to stop the easily bypass.
[Xperia Z General] oranglewat:
Ooooh snap! Works on my phone.

My phone is rooted. So maybe it works only on rooted phones? I'm using the latest firmware (434)

Edit:

Ok gave it several tries.

When you use the exploit, the phone won't lock again till you restart or change the lock screen.

Can anybody else confirm this?
[Xperia Z General] scottreeddev:
The device I found it on is the following

Model: C6603

Android: 4.1.2

Kernel: 3.4.0-g298631f001992-g95474bcBuildUser@BuildHost))#1 SMT PREEMPT Sun Jan 15:30:38 2013

Build Number: 10.1.A.1.350
[Xperia Z General] scottreeddev:
It works for me with PIN. One important thing I've noticed when showing this to people is once you've done it once I seems to screw up the locking. Once you've done it the lock button then doesn't show the security screen and if you press home it will. Also once you've done it once you have to force close all of the test windows and actually unlock your phone by press home then unlocking, It's quite wierd what happens after
[Xperia Z General] scottreeddev:
Another thing is when I first found this it was on one of the other service tests, I think maybe wifi but the NFC was the easiest one I found so it may be possible to activate it in other ways.

As said in a reply once you have done the exploit you must do the following to get it back to non-exploit state

Press the home button

Unlock your phone normally

Preset the task management button

clear all of the service test windows
[Xperia Z General] oranglewat:
You're right, works with PIN also.

Hope Sony update the firmware soon.
[Xperia Z General] mcchin:
Non rooted unit here. Updated to 434 and can replicate the problem

Hope get fixed in updates soon...:(
[Xperia Z General] Thaevil0ne:
Works here like a charm, unlocked rooted and on stock release ROM.

I laughed great find!

Also note: you can use any of the mini apps without using the nfc diag.

PS: Does this work on any Sony phone that contains the sevice menu?

Kind regards, Stefan.
[Xperia Z General] chongbh:
Does this happen to the Xperia Z with .434 stock ROM? I have tried on the pin lock but it will not unlock even though I key in any numbers or the OK button.
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
People if the exploit is working for you, hit the "Tip us" button to get Sony's attention faster.
[Xperia Z General] Aniket:
This issue is also present in 2012 Xperia smartphones. Tried it on XP and XS and was able to bypass lockscreen.
[Xperia Z General] AndroidGyan:
Method doesn't work on my Xperia SL

Did you perform the same steps on your Xperia S, as mentioned for Xperia Z, as I also did and was not able to get it on my Xperia SL :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z General] Aniket:
Yep same steps
[Xperia Z General] Thaevil0ne:
I can indeed confirm this.

After using it for 3 or 4 times phone refuses to lock + home button no longer works.

Instead of that it brings you to homescreen, it flashes the screen once and nothing happens.

Also still love how you can use mini apps from anywhere in this menu.

A lot of fixing is to be done here.

First root exploit via this menu and now this.

Kind regards, Stefan.
[Xperia Z General] miniake:

Hi LiveSquare, can you elaborate please? Did you mean turning on the email sync will actually lockout the unlock trick?
[Xperia Z General] paalkr:
I know it's only a workaround but widget locker has features that will stop the exploit from being accessible. That app is btw the best third party lock screen available. I have been using it for severally years on different devices.

[Xperia Z General] oranglewat:
Ah, I see now, thank you. Too bad my office doesn't use exchange email :(
[Xperia Z General] defsix:
I have version 434, the trick only partyl works, when I press home button i'm returned back to the dial screen. I can access recent apps and the settings menu via the drop down. I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.
[Xperia Z General] svendh:
I can confirm this, exchange sync prevents this exploit from being used
[Xperia Z General] scottreeddev:
This is strange but I've found an option which as the battery last so god dammn long could work if people are really that bothered.

Use the code described on the emergency dialer to get to the service menu

Open service tests

Open the NFC test

Do not run the test, press the home button

Unlock your phone as normal

Once you have done this as long as you leave the background task of the NFC window and don't close it the exploit does not work. If you lock your phone and try the code the service menu won't open up any more. It's an option, if needs I can make another video :good:
[Xperia Z General] :
Exchange doesn't help

Negative, set up an exchange sync just to test it. The exploit still works!
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
It depends on the Exchange server policy. Some Exchange servers require you to set stronger security and that fixes it.
[Xperia Z General] oranglewat:
This worked on my phone also. Thx. :good:

Should tie it over till Sony fix the problem.
[Xperia Z General] scottreeddev:
This stops the exploit from work, I was just commenting on the fact with the excellent battery life leaving the process open in the background for NFC hasn't caused any issue fro me.
[Xperia Z General] scottreeddev:
I've recently updated to 10.1.1.A.1.253 and this no longer seems to be a problem as I cannot get into the menu from a emergency dialer. Good work Sony :good:
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
I don't believe this is a Sony problem as much as an android OS issue, because this has been reported on almost all phones. Two of my HTC phones, big Samsung discussion.

I also believe that Sony found a way to fix this flaw with the latest .253 firmware
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
I think we are talking about the same thing from different tacts, yes it is a Sony issue to fix on a Sony phone, but the flaw is in the android OS.

It's more likely a case that they didn't realise that it worked from the emergency dialer, along with various other mobile phone maufacturers.

*#*#...#*#* commands are all service settings/menu items for android OS, some are in addition customised by the manufacturer.

How Sony fixed this flaw was to place a validation into the emergency dialer by only allowing set known emergency numbers by region
[Xperia Z General] scottreeddev:
This specific exploit was definitely Sony as I was in contact with them on it when I first found it, anyhow at least it's fixed with the new official update so you can't get in via the emergency dialer as previously stated. Good work on everyone that helped gathering info and workarounds for this tho, take care guys :laugh:

I'd try following this if you haven't already.

Are you flashing the correct blob and whatnot? I'm also assuming you're using the right fastboot commands (fastboot -i 0x0b05 blah blah). Not trying to offend, just seeing exactly what steps you took.

Or perhaps you can flash to an earlier version of the official Asus ROMs.
