[General Questions and Answers] ccxxx:
Some context: tar is a relatively old archive format that basically does store many files in one file. I think it was developed for tape backups or something.

Many of the unix compression programs like gzip are meant to operate on a single file. So first you pack everything in a tar, then you gzip it and it will be named .tar.gz

Of course you can repack the tar with just applying gzip compression again to it. It depends on the programs you want to use. With the linux/unix gzip it would just be using "gzip file.tar" and it would create "file.tar.gz". With 7zip or so, it should also be trivial by just compressing it and chosing gzip.

Do u have a link to said converter as ive tried doing it from my computer but cant find nothing?

Thanks alot
[General Questions and Answers] ccxxx:
Any archive program that supports the creation of archives in multiple formats should support it. E.g. winrar. I mentioned 7zip because it's Free and Open Source software but any other like that should work as well. The tar.gz format is really nothing special, it's just one tar file in a gzip archive. It just depends on the software how archives are created.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ScaryBugThing:
I just picked up the new Nexus 7 yesterday, and tried out the microphone today. In either Camera (via video) or Google Now, it basically just picks up constant noise. It's not even "noise plus minor sound" - just all noise.

Is anyone else having this problem? Any ideas if there might be a fix apart from replacing it?

I assume I have to get a replacement, but since it's sold out near me and I'd like to avoid going through a replacement wait when I can't get a new one quickly, I thought I'd ask.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ScaryBugThing:
I just returned it - I thought better to not wait, since they might be sold out later once it actually gets "released". No need to worry about finding a solution for my sake.

My new one has a working microphone, so I'm just chalking it up to hardware defect.

Bought a second hand Note. It's rooted as CWM on it. It won't update OTA (no updates showing at all for the past couple of days), and it's on 2.3.6.

Can I manually install an update via Odin? If so which one?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No here's a better idea - stop being a lazy

If you want someone to do it all for you, there are websites you can pay to root your phone. XDA is NOT that place.

There are threads already for this but you are just to lazy to lift two fingers to look

So you call me an ass? Okay buddy I'm an ass because your too lazy to read the guide that someone spent hours making that is at the very top of the forum as a sticky note in capital letters.

And yet with 152 posts you still refuse to just look at the guides that are step by step instructions because you expect to be spoon fed

Let's look at your other threads "which rom is best" "how to root my desire" and so on

Its not like you even try to look. You just over and over break xda policy and are lazy. Get with the picture and follow the rules

No reason to call me an ass, I am actually a very useful and helpful person to many people on this website. But everyone is expected to at least TRY to look before posting, which you consistently refuse to do (as your previous threads for other devices proves)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JccageX2:
Never said you weren't a useful guy. However you for some reason insist I didn;t look beforehand. I made a thread to make sure I didn't mess up my phone, I didn't know if I could flash stock firmware over a root + recovery or not.

So before you attack members in their first post with a new phone, I'd suggest you'd think twice.

I appreciate your work. Bye.

I'm looking for a bluetooth keyboard combination that has the mouse functionality built in however I can't find a good one... I tried the Rii ones but they're such poor build quality that the batteries either randomly swell up or the trackpads don't work...

The only one that looks like kinda of what i want is the "Donya DN-YKB-50K" which I can only find on one website in Japan and i'd have to use a mail forwarding service... it looks ridiculously slim and comes with an amazing looking optical mouse... however the batteries aren't built in (so can't just randomly charge it with a usb cable when out and about) and it has difficult shipping... and it looks a bit plasticy...

That's not correct. JB is the current OS for the GNote. The reason the app freezes is because the app conflicts with the 4.2 camera. It works with all 4.1 JB roms.

Not the same....at all....

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjordan92:
Hi,

My made-in-china docking station has just arrived, unfortunately its already been broken (quality material of a matchbox :\),

I have plugged in my micro usb into the socket (female micro usb on the dock) and somehow after few tests the female receiver of the dock fell out.. (I guess it wasn't glued strong enough because I haven't use any extra power to push it in)

Any way.. I have opened it up to see whats going on and found this:

http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/9554/a84p.jpg

The small piece on the left is the female micro usb plugger that was attached to the green board but fell off..

This is a sort of explanation:

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/2971/4wbl.jpg

And thats the part it self:

http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/8735/ew44.jpg

Unfortunately I can't glue it back and definately not weld it on since its too tiny and I don't have proper equipment for that..

But I do want to try to fix it because god damn its 1 day old ! totally brand new!

So I was thinking maybe I should simply tear a cable and plug the + - to the red and black wires at the end of that board..

And so, here comes the question for you expert fellers.

First this is the board:

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/8915/xo1u.jpg

I have a basic knowledge in electricity but its from engineering study and not from real world, so I don't really know how to read this thing..

Perhaps a better intuition than mines will help too..

Is this board necessary? What does it do? and can't it live with out it?

Why they didn't simply plug the + and - straight to the + - pins of the docking points?

Because thats what I am willing to do but I guess that "Ask the experts before you ruin it" is a helpful tip my mom taught me..

Thanks!

Jordan.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajinn:
its actually soldered, not welded. its not very hard to solder, even tiny parts.

theres still solder on it. you can reflow it with a heat gun... assuming from your post that you have a welder so im guessing you have a heat gun.

just put the part on where its supposed to go, align it, then heat it.

dont get too close and slowly let the heat build, it'll flow at once. try to avoid applying heat to other parts to prevent them from shifting around.

if you are worried theres not enough solder, buy some solder paste and put a little bit on it.

you can check youtube/google for tutorials on reflowing with a heatgun.

if you dont have a heat gun theres other ways but be mindful of the temperatures of the rest of the components, you dont want anything else falling off.

btw, only pins 2 and 3 are necessary, thats power and ground.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjordan92:
Thanks for your reply but I've actually already fixed it,

I didn't soldered (I used Google Translate for that word :P) it all,

I simply plugged out the whole board and attatched the two wires to the +- of a usb cable...

It works great.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0p3r4t0r:
i think this is not a good idea

you can destroy the phone with this "FIX", if the phone is fully loaded the dock would load further.

In a extremsituation it can flame up :eek:

Search for the heatgun and fix it correctly, please :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjordan92:
Yeah I'm sorry but thats a full of crap..

first you absolutely cant flame up your phone by over charging it.. (where the hell have you ever heard about it?!)

secondly, the system for disconnect when the battery is full is inside the phone and not on the charger..

There are few circuit things for defending on the charger but not that..

And last, I already done it months ago and it wasn't bad at all.. sometimes it didn't charge to 100% or dropped down immediately.. but overall was fine..

I use now a new charger (also chinese crap), this one has the circuit board, I don't really feel anything different..

It charges good now but nothing extra noticeable...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0p3r4t0r:
Hey man, sorry i won't flame.

I mean the dock can lightup if you don't connect it correctly (short circuit)

But it's not my so you can do what you want :)

Sorry for missunderstanding :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
To be honest man there isn't enough current running through the USB to do anything nasty to the dock even if it did short circuit. It certainly wouldn't burn and you couldn't shock yourself, worst case scenario, the dock would just stop working.
