I had the Xda IIs working in an X5 with the standard BT kit, although it occasionally decides to disconnect. No such luck with the iDrive version of BMWs BT kit, pairs up but doesn't work at all. I can't really recommend it for use with a beamer, maybe after the first ROM update is released!

From previous posts on here I'd say the MDA version of the phone has even worse BT so definitely don't go there!

[Nexus 7 General] auran:
Hi,

I am new to mobile solutions and I have been thinking recently - if it was possible (and reliable) to use a non-3G Nexus 7 connected to a regular non-smartphone for ad-hoc Internet access?

Here is the scenario and justification for the solution (correct me if I am wrong in my thinking please):

I mostly use older type business mobile phones that hold battery for a long time.

No need for fancy apps and all fireworks. I use it only for business calls and texts.

I would like to get the 16GB Nexus 7 for personal organizer functionality. I think WiFi access would suffice for me.

Now, for the rare occasion, I would like to know if it is possible to connect both devices (via Bluetooth maybe?) to use the mobile phone as internet access point for the tablet?

I know with smartphones it would be easy as I could create a WiFi hot-spot and connect the tablet using WiFi, however I don't want to sacrifice the battery life of my phone by getting a smartphone.

Just to summarize - I need a long battery life phone that can (occasionally) serve internet access for the Nexus 7.

Does my solution make sense? Is such setup possible?

Thank you for your time and help.

Mike

.....i am using my nexus7 with my superb,one and only,nexus s via Bluetooth tethering sometimes, but as the standby time goes down in this case, i am thinking of getting a Nokia c2-01 for hat kind oft use. I found in internetsearch some solutions with that phone.....it should work and last longer...
[Nexus 7 General] auran:
This is exactly what I am thinking about. Thanks for pointing me in a right direction Roadrunner.

I will do a bit of searching on that then, however if there is anyone who already tested this sort of setup then I would be most grateful for sharing the experiences here.

Thanks.

This will obviously depend on what kind of phone you have, but have you looked into PDAnet? I use that on my android phone to do bluetooth vpn to my tablet. try looking into that.
[Nexus 7 General] warface:
What about a Mifi? It just uses a 3g sim and creates a WiFi hotspot around itself.

Don't know what the battery life on them is like though...

[Nexus 7 General] bftb0:
FYI a stock nexus 7 will not communicate with ad-hoc WiFi APs.

So you would need to root the N7 and use a custom kernel (right now that's CM10.1 nightlies, possibly others) if the other device provides the connectivity via ad-hoc WiFi.

I do something similar with a WiFi N7 and an older (rooted, gingerbread) Android phone. Works fine, although the battery consumption and temperature rise of the phone is pretty significant (two radios running simultaneously).

If the mobile phone was not originally marketed to do WiFi tethering, be aware that it may not have a thermal design that is adequate for continuous data transfer on both radios. Light browsing is probably fine though.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikkr:
So I've been using my N7 on and off since I bought it in January. I would've used it more if it wasn't for the fact that the touchscreen responded really bad to touch and freaked out every now and then. It even almost bought an app on its own in the play store once. As I bought it through a retailer in another country I figured I would try to fix the problem myself - and I did kind of.

I tried a lot of things that people suggested in other threads here on xda, reddit, youtube, etc. but the only thing that seemed to work somewhat was tightening the screws around the edges after opening it up. The problem still persisted to some degree and got worse again after a few weeks.

After opening it up again a few weeks ago to fiddle around with the screws again I realized something - the phantom touch problem was gone and the screen had perfect response whenever I was handling it with the back cover off. So I put it in a case without putting the cover on first and I've been using it like that ever since - this leaves the wifi/gps/etc. without a grounding connection though, and I also prefer to use it without a case so my question is this:

Has anyone had the back cover apply pressure/mess with the touch screen in any way?

I have no screen lift at all, but these are the methods I have tried:

Tightening screws(worked somewhat)

Loosening screws(didn't work)

Putting a small piece of paper between the black cable that apparently connects the touch screen and the circuit board in case it was causing a short there due to pressure or something(didn't work)

Additional info: Whenever I remove the back cover, the only place where I have to apply some extra pressure to get it loose is right around where the aforementioned black cable is.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew9292:
Hmm, have you checked the N7 under a florescent tube light? You should try to view the light's reflection on the n7's screen. It should be 'mirrored perfectly'. If the reflection of the light is crooked/bent, this means your screen is no longer flat. Ie. A flat mirror should show your reflection as it is. A curved mirror will distort the reflection.

If the screen is heavily distorted, this could mean the touch sensors are also 'bent' and touching the screen internals.

Check the reflection with cover on, and also cover off.

If with the cover off the n7, the screen seems to be 'flatter'. Then we could conclude the screen is fatigued by stress somehow by the attachment of the covers. If it somewhat same, then the problem is something else.

Since the cover provides ground points for the n7 circuit and it's antennas, maybe you should try cleaning the contact points on the cover side. There should be grooves made by the contact pins from the n7 on the cover, over time they might oxidize and cause a short circuit.

It is possible the touch mechanism is not being properly grounded somehow.

PLEASE BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL if you are going to clean the contact pins on the n7 side, they are small and very brittle.

Try to see if anything on the cover is touching the circuit board or creating a short circuit somewhere when installed.

These are the 2 causes i can think of. I had this problem too, i loosen some screws and re-check under a florescent light to see it's reflection, and i re-loosen or tighten until the reflection is nearly perfect (screen should be flat and reflecting like a mirror), if not it is bent by stress from screws being too tight or loose at some points.

Then i also cleaned the contact points and pressed the aluminum 'heatsinks' on the n7 side to make sure they dont contact anything else. I did both the same time, following by a switch in ROM and Kernel. So i'm not sure which actually helped. I'm sure i took some stress off the screen by the reflection thing. The grounding also makes sense as an intermittent ground causes stuff to f-up (my car) lol. But you may try n see how it goes. Cheers.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Huefu:
Like it was said before, your touchscreen is busted ... in my case, i've change my lcd and touchscreen with one bought on ebay. But before to change your lcd, you can try to align your screen with your finger, not with your stylus.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] fxjade:
Just put an empty welcome.not file in your SD card.

It should bypass the alignment screen.

If it doesn't, then do one alignment run,hit the power button, and turn it back on. It should work then.

Beware, though, that the screen will be unaligned. Manage to get to the alignment again, and repeat the process (hitting power button thing). Then it'll be aligned correctly (at least in my case it does...)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] honosuseri:
As Huefu posted the touchpad is dead my friend. There is another topic about the touchscreen being dead that I have posted on. You can buy one on ebay but beware there are two different screen types. So dismantle first to check the connectors on the back of your screen to make sure you get the right replacement.

Your looking around £30 and some patience. It's tricky to take the phone apart and reassemble. You can google for the XDA/MDA service manual, this will show you how to take it apart

Good luck

Well, my problem is quite simple:

For some reason my messages are not being sorted in order of their receipt after restoring them after a new flash.

If i receive a new message, the thread is then sorted properly.

But all threads that have been restored and have no new messages show the date of restoration in the thread list -.-

I tried mms.apk from different roms, always the same.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

If i open a thread it shows the correct dates and times for each message.

The only thing not working is those messages being sorted according to the date of the last message received in thread-view :(

I hope someone here can help me out.

p.s.: I used MyBackup Pro to backup and to restore those messages.

Currently running Rootbox but also tried it on Cyanogen etc.

Don't think I had that issue on Sammy Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
i am getting a note 2 in less than a week, i was wondering what is the most developed kept up to date and least modified, (debloated and carrieriq squashed) rom for verizon?

i have seen a video for jedi, rooting i believe it was with odin and casual, seems more complicated than the rezound was and i have seen warnings about the latest ota, i'll probably have the latest ota already...

so basically what am i getting into and what is the best out there, twrp, cwm, amon ra, what rom, near stock or wildly reimagined, htc sense 4 port?

not new to roms, but new to the note 2 lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nefariouss:
Is Amon Ra still used? I think twrp is the current favorite recovery and it's what I use anyway.

For most stock like rom, probably CleanRom SE but don't quote me on that.

I doubt you'll be on latest ota, but rooting is easy via casual and takes about 5 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
For recovery I use TWRP, and it seems to be one of the most recommended for the Note 2.

[General Questions and Answers] Argelius:
I just got a Samsung S4 (Verizon) because I was tired of Apple's stagnant OS and tiny screens. And I'm a tinkerer, so I'm loving (sort of) the endless ability to change and modify just about everything. And LOVE the big screen (and I have no problem whatsoever putting it in my pocket or using it one-handed...).

I'm encountering a couple of Android frustrations and wondering if anyone can either confirm, "yep, that's how it works", or point me to an app/widget/utility that "fixes" what I'm encountering.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Notifications and status bar: I have to say I'm missing Apple's red badges that easily call attention to new emails, facebook posts, text messages, etc). I understand that on Android, all notifications show up as those little teeny, tiny white icons in the status bar, amongst the sea of other little white icons (wifi, gps, gestures, bluetooth, etc), making it not always obvious at a quick glance what's new.

I understand swiping down gives me the list of all notifications. But strangely, for such a customizable interface, evidently you have little control over the appearance and order of what's there. For instance, the "ongoing" notifications of WiFi connected shows up at the top, which I dont want to know about at all (along with those from other apps that merely announce the app is working, such as Juice Defender). And others follow in a long list with no particular organization or visual distinction.

I have played with the app SuperStatus Bar to reduce the status bar clutter, but it grinds things to a halt and takes over the notification panel without improving it. I've looked for widgets that show email, sms, etc badges but most are ugly (like most of the email widgets that come with the popular email apps like K-9, Aquamail, etc) or don't function consistently (like Notifier Widget for Facebook).

So, any suggestions or apps that help with this? And thanks to all who have read this all the way to the bottom...
[General Questions and Answers] csmiler:
Sorry to know your move to Android wasn't too smooth :(

I'd recommend you try Floating Notifications once it comes out of beta, holds a bit of promise :)

You'd get notifications from apps you choose as little floating bubbles.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2263987

Apart from that, getting the little wifi icons and bluetooth icons are pretty standard, and if there is a way to remove them, I'm not aware of it.

Also, you could use an app like light flow to make the notification light display a color of your choice based on the notification, it'd let you know exactly what notification you have before you turn the screen on.

I hope I helped :)
[General Questions and Answers] Argelius:
Thanks for your suggestions!

I've been using Notify+ which I like for notifications. The status bar still looks like a mess to me, but I'm sure I'll survive it.

I'm actually starting to get used to the Android way of things and am feeling much better. Loving the bigger screen (Apple is loosing the game in this regard) and the customizability (although this is a double sword when you have some OCD tendencies...).

Sort of wish I'd held out for the Verizon HTC One, rather than the S4. the S4 is great, but I'm finding most of its much-touted whiz-bang features (air gestures and motions) to be gimmicky, buggy, and available in too-few apps).

But all in all, having fun with my new phone!

Thanks again for your suggestions.
