[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshag:
I'm a Galaxy S user and love cyanogenmod roms.. simple, clean.. I just like them.

I just picked up a Nexus 7 and I'm trying to decide what ROM to run. I downloaded this ROM - cm-10.1-20130324-NIGHTLY-grouper.zip any comments, suggestions, etc?

Will I need to install gapps like I do when I update on my phone?

What's the best Kernel to run with the Nexus?

Any other suggestions, must have Nexus apps/tweaks feel free to mention.

Thanks!

yeah.. I've read through multiple posts but theres nothing like having someone read your questions and know exactly what you want to hear. Especially someone familiar with both products (the nexus and the galaxy s). I'm installing/playing with a couple different roms currently. Haven't touched any kernels yet.

Any 'must have' audio or video tweaks that you recommend?

Thanks for the reply and suggestions and the heads up on the flames. I kind of expected them.

I just got an OTA Update for Jelly Beans ROM v12 and now my custom bootup animation is gone. I worked on it for a long time and didn't think to back it up because I didn't think anything would overwrite the /data root section of my phone, but I guess the upgrade deleted my custom one and replaced it with the ROM's...is there a way I can bring it back somehow?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] bucklee:
Hi I'm not sure if this was brought up before, did a search and couldn't find anything. I have been using Cintiq for the last 5 years and became familiar with a product called Smudge guard, which keeps the had cool when working on the Screen, however it works great with Note 10.1 and Sketchbook. Like working on a piece of paper. Anyways thought I share this with all the Note Artist who are having problems with the Palm Rejection.

btw, I don't know these people, but it just works great when sketching. So I'm not trying to sell anything....in fact I'm sure if you want to DYI you can. This is just nicer.

http://www.smudgeguard.com
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jedah:
Thanks for sharing. There's also a pen-only mode you can enable in Sketchbook Pro in case you're having palm rejection issues
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ron2k_1:
Yeah the palm rejection mode works great on the app, and the advantage is that the app still reacts to zoom and pan commands with fingers even in pen-blocked mode.

Back when I was using the app on my old ThinkPad Android Tablet, I cut a whole on a sock and sewed two finger on it. It kinda looked like the smudgeguard, it worked and it was all free... It may be just me being a cheapo but that thing seems just too expensive for what it is (a single spandex glove with fingers missing)

[HTC Rezound] kwikster93:
Hi guys i just switched over from the charge and got my self a rezound. i bought the phone used off of amazon (turned out to be quite the mistake) and was on gb 2.3.4 when it came. so first thing i went to do was to update to ics. I tried the ota update from the phone and most of the time i got "server unavailable" or it would show up in my notifications and would just never start to download. so now im stuck i am guessing the previous owner had to phone rooted and modded or something? i boot my phone into recovery and this is what it says

[HTC Rezound] LoneWolf:
What happens is that the owner did root and did an unroot and now you cant root again happened to me when i bought and inc 2 off amazon and was stuck with the gb 2.3.4 so i think the same happened to you try looking around and trying every root solution and maybe it will work
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Is that a typo or does it actually say SL-ON? Should say S-ON. If it really says SL-ON then it was def messed with.

Since it has GB on it it's very likely it was never unlocked and rooted. If it had been rooted I would think the previous owner would have updated it.

If it was s-on and had been unlocked and rooted it would say ***RELOCKED***. Since yours says ***LOCKED*** I think it wasn't rooted before. It's possible that they did the s-off wire trick and then went back to s-on, I think, I'm not sure what the phone would show in bootloader if they did that, but I think it looks like it has never been unlocked.

Regardless, if you want to update to the latest official OTA you can run the 3.14.605.12 RUU from here:

http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Vigor

That will get you up to date as of a month ago and fully stock. (sorry if you know this, I don't know what your experience is)

Make sure you let it run through a couple times on its own, when it's done it will leave you back in bootloader. The screen will go black for a bit, don't do anything, just leave it, it will go through updating a second time, just make sure you don't interrupt it.

Then you can try to take the OTA from about a month ago which will take you to 3.14.605.13. From what I've read there's not much to that OTA so if you can't take that for whatever reason it's no big loss.

Then if you want to root you'll need to unlock the phone via HTCDev, flash a recovery then root.
[HTC Rezound] kwikster93:
thanks for the quick responses and it was a type o. i flashed the ruu and am now running 4.0.3 thank you very much :)

i have the tools to unlock and know how to do it but im not sure about the recovery or s-on/s-off i know what it is im just not sure if i wanna take it off and with the recovery is there a certain one i have to use or is there one that works better than all others? id like to find a rom that is s-on compatible and looking through some of the threads and some have 300+ pages so anything to lightin up my reading load would be greatly appreciated
[Xperia Z General] anirudhks:
Not sure if many here use it or have used it , but just wanted to share my experience .

upon using this application first 2 days you will not see any improve ment as the app learns ur phone usage and application usage on day2 it starts working on applications,

This is an awsome app till date compared to Stamina mode as it will not disable notifications nor disable data , but instead smartly runs cpu at lower voltage and frequency for non critical apps and save , I have seen atleast 2X battery increase in the lsat 2 weeks of usage the bettery gets better and better day by day so now I can get through a day full and still remain about 15% of battery

my typica usage 2 hours of Video , 1 hour of Mp3 , 20 mins Browing ,15 mins call and I leave the Wifi , GPS and Bluetooth on . as I listen to music on teh BT Headset .. please share your experiences here who have used it
[Xperia Z General] fards:
I've spent 3 weeks testing this, stamina mode, the two together and none at all.

I get on average 14hour use without any savings

I run with most of the non essential (photos play books etc) syncs off, no talk notifications etc

Overall stamina mode when it works saves the most battery... When it works... Saves extra 3 hours over 14.

Battery guru uses more power than not using anything at all for the first 3 days. After that it saves on average an extra hour (based on normal 14hour)

Battery app is more reliable than stamina and offers more control, but at the moment is just not that effective.

Hi guys

Newbie question here

Im looking for a note 2 in Craigslist, some offers say "bad imei" and they have minor prices

For what I've read, the bad imei doesn't affect if I unlock the phone and use another carrier (I will use it in mexico)

am I correct?

Thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nyeazyone:
Thanks for the question. I too am curious about this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrBooMY:
As long as it's in another country and carrier, you will have no issues with a bad imei.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] entropism:
Keep in mind you're buying stolen goods, either directly or indirectly. Is that something you're comfortable with?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sago6:
:eek:

Well, I didn't think about that

You're right

And no, I dont want to be a part of that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Intub8:
It really depends. Someone may interpret a bad imei as blocked/blacklisted or completely missing. If the first owner was inexperienced at flashing they may have not made a back up of the efs folder and lost the imei. If they didnt fulfill the contract with a carrier it could also get it blacklisted. And then also the possibility it was reported stolen.

Sent from my G Note 2!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sago6:
A friend of mine told his carrier he were robbed to use the insurance and sell that phone

Here in Mexico, in 2012 the president made a law to block IMEIs in robbed cellphones

But most people its ignorant about the laws and rights -_-

So, that law isnt even working XD

Back in thread, Theres no way to know if my next Note2 its stollen or lost, etc

So im buying Used, but good imei :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Justinfedor:
Carriers in the u.s. are going to start blocking imeis on all carriers. If u put ur sim in a stolen device on att ur service will be suspended. Right now they are in the process to stop stolen imeis from working on other carriers here and out of country.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] entropism:
Sorry, I didn't want to pull the morality argument, because I usually hate people who do that. But yeah, even the phones that were blocked due to the contracts not being fulfilled? 75% of that is usually someone coming in, buying 5 phones on an ID where they don't care about their credit, and never paying the bill. Stolen phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sanjeev2612:
Hi,

How can we report "phone stolen" in Mexico ? The phone was bought in Canada and thus is associated with a Canadian operator, however the phone was stolen as soon as I arrived in Mexico, that too inside the flight by a fellow passenger.

Can the Canadian operator blacklist my phone IMEI even though it is in Mexico ? Or can I call the Mexican Telefonica company and then can blacklist this IEMI so that the phone can never be used in Mexico ? Please guide me through this, I'd be eternally thankful.

I am really worried and I have had such a bad experience in Mexico, firstly at the international airport in Mexico City the shopkeepers tried to make me pay more than I should, then my phone is stolen.

Thanks in advance,

Sanjeev
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
I've never had to deal with this, thank goodness, but you can try contacting your carrier (if you used the phone on your line, they should have a record of the device) and have it blocked on your carrier's network. However, since it's not an official phone sold by the carrier, they may not make your request a priority. It's worth trying though! It's also worth trying (if you actually have the phone info- imei/serial) to contact the Canadian carrier with a report so it can't be sold & activated on their network again in the future.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] uabudy:
I know, it's old thread, but it came up in Google results while I was researching my questions. What do you guys think, buying a carrier locked blacklisted phone in Canada, can it be unlock, make it sim free? and why assume it is stolen phone. A person bought used iPhone from kijiji, totally working phone. In a few days, original owner claims it as stolen and carrier black lists the phone (in Canada). The buyer now has no use of it in Canada. He can try to unlock (sim free) the phone and send it overseas, like Europe, or Asia. I don't see anything wrong here, just looking for your opinion. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
I believe parts of Europe have a blacklisting system in place so the imei should be checked before trying to network unlock the phone for use in another country.

Many people assume that a phone has been stolen because the imei has been blacklisted and, as you pointed out, this is not always the case.

I'm not 100% sure but some unlockers will not or cannot unlock a blacklisted phone.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
First off, the speakers suck, but if you were going to listen to music through the speakers then you're just an idiot just saying (No offense).

On the other hand the music quality through head/earphones is really superb and is in my opinion the best you can get (When it comes to phones.) I don't know how long the battery would last, but it shouldn't be a problem at all to use the phone with 1 charge per day.
