[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Digdis:
My gosh this is so depressing

I'm about to receive this phone (the P714) tomorrow from my work. It is going to replace my current Samsung Galaxy Wonder (SGW). Now the SGW is inferior to the the P714 - smaller screen, single core, no LED etc., but it had so many installable ROMs, which I replaced from time to time, so at the end of the day I really enjoyed it.

Now, with this phone, I can't do anything. When I was notified that I was going to receive it, been reading all the forums here for a week or so. I'm receiving the phone with Android 4.1.2 and all the cell phone provider's bloatware, which can't be removed unless you have root permissions. As far as I managed to understand, rooting it prevents getting updates from LG. There's no recovery boot and no ROMs. This is highly depressing. :crying:

Oh well, had to vent a bit. Hope the great people here in XDA find solutions to this mess as they always do.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] STEALTH_NT:
Well my 714 is gone now im on a D625 G2 mini tegra version, about the bootloops yes can happen I got that at least 10 times but is easy to get out of the bootloop there is no need to flash with KDZ, you only need to force the power off by the power button and start again (how to be sure the phone is on power off? quick press the power button you will see the battery charging icon if the phone is plugged) power on the phone again and the bootloop will be gone, for works 100% of the times

Hey guys, I've just recently purchased a HTC One on PayAsyouGo. But I am currently on a Three contract.

See your phone specs and if everything is at it should be than maybe you're not scammed and you might do something with this phone, if the specs are lower than you don't have an original phone.

Did you try this?

Switch off your mobile phone.

Pull the battery of your device out.

Hold Volume up, and Volume down keys together.

Plug in USB cable to your device, holding both the volume buttons.

Put the battery back in, still holding the volume up and down keys.

Your phone shall now enter Download Mode.

If this doesn't work either, try usb jig if you have one, if not, they're cheap on the Internet.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] NH Apache:
So upon researching dock options, I see that the official dock is in the works, with a MSRP US of 50 dollars:

http://www.slashgear.com/nexus-7-premium-cover-and-dock-details-leak-31240960/

Has anyone come across any viable third party alternatives? I'm so ready to use this with my PS3 controller to get my gaming on.

Edit: Well, looks like I missed a digit on the date. Ignoring my ignorance, let's talk docks! I'm very interested in 3rd party options or the viability of the old one functioning with the 2013 refresh.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] finalhit:
Check the date on that article. Also the orientation of the nexus logo on the back

=)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] RayLancer:
Also I think the new Nexus 7 doesn't have Pogo-pins? I don't have mine around me to confirm.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] oddsbodkins:
That's the old Nexus 7 dock

The date on that article is for July 31st, but back in 2012. It must be referring to the old Nexus 7.. the clue was the mention of a 3-pin connector on the side.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] NH Apache:
Right, so edited the OP to accommodate my terrible ability to read dates.

It looks like there are barely any options currently for a dock of sorts.

There is the incipio stand here:

http://www.shopandroid.com/incipio-fixie-universal-tablet-stand/6A39A12239.htm

There are a couple of Qi charging stands as well:

http://www.androidpolice.com/tags/qi-charging-stand/

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/qi-wireless-charging-pad-and-stand-p38173.htm

But again, this doesn't allow data transfer. It would be nice to place the N7 in a dock that is constantly connected to my desktop or by my bed for an alarm function.

The QI charging stand will take care of the second need, but data transfer would be nice as well. I'm very surprised we don't have docking pins.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
I'm assuming being able to charge the device isn't a necessity, since you linked to the Incipio stand. I actually bought a black plastic stand at my local TJMaxx(or Ross, or Marshalls. One of those, lol) for only $4.99 or $5.99. I bought it for my Asus Infinity (10.1" tablet), and it works great in both landscape and portrait! Since getting my '13 N7 a few days ago, I've put it in the dock in both landscape and portrait as well. It also works great in either position! I've had my Note 2 in it, and even my Evo LTE before . Though, some of the display is blocked when either my Note 2 or Evo LTE is in this dock/stand. Just stating how versatile it is by being able to hold my 10.1" tablet, 7" tablet, 5.5" phone, and even 4.7" phone, all with perfect stability! If interested, you might want to check online for something similar. Knowing how well it works and how discreet it really is, I wish I would have bought at least 3 of these when the store had them in stock!

I'm gonna put some pics of the stand in the following post. Also pics of my Infinity an '13 N7 in both portrait and landscape position.

Remember folks 3D Printing has arrived!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] MrsKravitz:
Microcenter has those for $6.99.

Another cheap option would be small photo easels. Foldable and prop your tablet up for useability anywhere in the house. They are often available at the dollar stores, so you really can't beat the price.

Microcenter has a nice-looking metal stand that raises the tablet if you want to use it as a secondary monitor.

None of these are docks, of course, but the design of the Cygnett stand would keep the charging cord out of the way.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
It is pretty lightweight! It's hollow inside though, so you could easily add some weight to it! It hasn't been an issue for me in the few months that I've had it. My Asus Infinity is a pretty big device, but this stand handles that tablet just fine. Here's a picture of the bottom of the stand showing that it's hollow, but still has plenty of unused space inside of it to add your own weights to it if you wanted.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
I completely agree with you with an official Asus/N7 dock!! Charger is a must (obviously), an HDMI port would be great, at least 1 USB port, and a 3.5 auxiliary jack for audio!! If they would release an official dock with all of these features, then I would not think twice about buying it(assuming it's less than $100, should be around $50)!!!! Even without the HDMI port, as long as the other 3 are included then I would buy it! ChromeCast is going to be a pretty common household item for all Android users, especially given the low price point! That said, an HDMI port isn't a feature that I would choose over an auxiliary audio jack! Sure I could just stream music to my home theater system using ChromeCast, but I also have smaller speaker systems that I'd like to be able to use without connecting via bluetooth(Jawbone Big Jambox for example), and they won't be nearly as loud as my home theater for when I'm not trying to have everyone in the house listen to the same thing as I am!!

Also, my Asus Infinity has a mini HDMI port built in to the side of the tablet. I mainly use it for gaming anyway, but especially when I'm wanting to play on my flat screen TV!! Just so easy with the Sixaxis app, a PS3 controller, an having the HDMI port right on the tablet! I have an HDMI - mini HDMI cable hooked to my TV at all times. Basically, I said all of that just to say that this is probably the main reason that an HDMI port on the official dock isn't really that important to me, and why I'd prefer the 3.5mm jack over the HDMI port. That's IF I couldn't have both anyway!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] crazyg0od33:
have you seen the Tylt Vu? thats $100.

But this really isnt that pricy imo...I'd much rather pay $50 to have an elegant dock / stand that will charge in portrait AND landscape than buy a $30 pad that you have to lay the tablet down on and thus lose the functionality of it. Plus it wont slide off on this.

Putting a nice dock with a qi charger warrants another $20 to me.

Have this dock/wireless charger

I got this dock/charger for my Nexus 7.2

I doubt this is the 'official' charging dock, as there are some gaps where the bottom fits the top, but not too bad. The charger/dock is sturdy, solid to allow even casual typing, swiping on the screen while docked.

The tablet stands firmly and charges well, but only in landscape mode, with sufficient tolerances, i.e. off to the side. The charger is not working in portrait mode, although you can use it that way as well.

Not sure who designed it, but there is an obnoxiously loud beep from the dock whenever it senses the tablet on the charger. Additionally there is a bright led on front, that blinks when the tablet is on. Very annoying... I teared the dock apart and killed the sounder that made the beep. Also put a piece of tape over the led, to stop the visually annoying blinking.

It is of course manufactured in China.

With these modification I can satisfyingly use it for desktop or bedside charger/dock.

Let me know if you have any questions related.

Pretty sure Apple has the same thing built into iOS.

edit:

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] might be able to give some insight as to how hard this would be to circumvent,

I would think you'd need a kernel level manual override of drivers where x driver cannot be activated under any circumstance unless you manually allow it, kind of like asking for SU permissions, then you use a third party dialer that you personally coded or something of the sort.

I mean you'd basically have to go through the AOSP code line by line I would think to actually locate this.
[Security Discussion] GuestK003:
They do say that it's being done by hackers. Usually by an exploit, spyware, etc. There may not be any bugs in AOSP, and it very well could be in carrier/manufacturer programming.
[Security Discussion] orangekid:
I wouldn't call it a "bug" if it's being purposely put into the code.

What I am getting is it's being done by the FBI, not "hackers."

http://propakistani.pk/2013/08/02/f...r-android-phone-mic-or-laptop-cameras-report/

"Hacker" seems to just be any word the media uses for anyone who does something questionable on a computer or phone.

[Security Discussion] cgutman:
This article seems to indicate that it's not a deliberate backdoor, but an actual exploit that's giving them the mic access. They also mention laptops (obviously not running Android) so I think it's more likely they're just hacking these platforms and using their new privileges to turn the mic on.

Also if you think about it, the mic isn't a restricted device on Linux or Windows. You can touch it without any special permission, so they wouldn't have to completely own your device to listen in on you.

[Security Discussion] jcase:
I call BS on any FBI microphone backdoor without hard evidence. Possibility of state sponsored malware that does it? Certainly exists. Don't install random apps you dont trust, stay away from malware and use an international carrier unbranded phone that gets updates frequently (S4 (GT-i9500) and unbranded HTC One likely fit this description, so do GPE devices). Also, most custom roms are horribly outdated as far as security patches go.
