Who knew?

Y'all did, obviously. I've had the Developer tab enabled on several other Android devices that I've owned, but it always appeared after I installed a custom ROM. Since there hasn't been much development for this device, all I've done is gained root access and installed TWRP.

That's a sweet trick. Thanks.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] iPwnapple:
Hello fellow Nexus 7 owners, I have a really hard decision to make. Right now I own an iPad 2, which as I can see is really starting to show its age, plus that is the only Apple product I own, So I'm looking for an upgrade right about now for my daily tablet.

1: Does the new Nexus 7 have good battery life, my iPad 2 has always given me fantastic battery life, so that is a must.

2: Hardware, is the snapdragon S4 Pro a good enough processor to drive that 1080P display? I know it must be better than the A5 on my iPad.

3: General accessories, are there good enough accessories for the Nexus 7 such as general cases and cables such as USB OTG, and HDMI.

4: Quality control, I've seen that some Nexus 7s are suffering from multi touch issues and GPS issues, and the original Nexus 7 had a screen issues, so I hope that it can be resolved with a software update.

Thank you for your time!

I successfully ported CWM on my device (my first ever :victory:) but I'm having a problem with flashing update zips. The device is using EXT4 on the cache/data/system partitions and through CWM I'm able to mount and browse them via adb. When I'm trying to flash a CM10.1 build, this is the error I'm getting:

[...]
format: unsupported fs_type "ext4" partition_type "EMMC"script aborted (no error message)
[...]

I inspected the updater-script both in my custom CM10.1 build and in the manufacturer's OTA package and they match, I guess this means that my configs are fine at this point. There must be something I missed when I created the *.mk files that adds some EXT4 tools. Any help appreciated!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenogenesis1:
Hi, I've been having the same problem for the longest time, and also couldn't find any solutions online. However, I may have stumbled upon the solution going through the source code. Looking at /recovery/updater/install.c, it seems the format command looks for a definition "#ifdef USE_EXT4" before going through with formatting as ext4. I'm not certain, but I think you have to have the following in one of your .mk files, such as BoardConfig.mk:

TARGET_USERIMAGES_USE_EXT4 := true

This line was in a .mk for a build I succesfully managed to install, but wasn't in the ones that did not work. I hope this helps anyone else who is encountering this error.

Tag for search: Clockworkmod Status 7 error
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giannoug:
Unluckily I have that option set in my configs (it was commented on the configs I'm basing on and I just uncommented it). Is there a way to tell the build system to output all the variables so I can triple check it is enabled? Let's hope it is disabled somewhere and I can't find it.

One other thing I'm suspecting is the Flash Translation Layer of the kernel... It doesn't really make sense, but I can't think of anything else. I'll guess I'll have to switch to other partition types. Last question, does anyone know if EXT4 is required? I think I read somewhere that it's needed for multiuser mode in the latest Android versions.

Thanks everyone!

EDIT: The weird part is that I can format the partitions through the "Format" menu... That means that EXT4 tools are compiled in the recovery, right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giannoug:
I finally managed to fix it. There was a custom ota_from_target_files script that was generating UBIFS scripts... I had it commented at first (that's why it worked suddenly and then broke again) but I messed up my commits and undid the change.

Thanks everyone!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jusinjusin:
I've been looking around, and is there a way to spoof a mac address when making a hotspot? I've tried different apps on the Google Play store, and none actually set the mac address. I've also gone into terminal and did something like:

ip link set ____ address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, passing in wlan0, p2p0, and a few others. None worked with the hotspot mod. Any time the wifi or hotspot toggles between off and on, the MAC address are reset.

I've also tinkered around with XPrivacy, hoping to send a MAC address to existing tethering apps, but still no luck there.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Shelbster:
Just got a new nexus 7 from best buy. I immediately noticed problems with blacks while watching a movie on netflix. I also tried watching videos on youtube and noticed the same problems. It reminds me of my old galaxy note. Do I have a defective unit or are other people having this problem?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cyberprodigy:
Could you define what "black crush" is?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] studdmufin:
Are you sure you aren't just watching highly compressed movies?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
Black crush is where the dark areas look all black instead of having shades of black.

It usually happens with colorspace conversions between video systems and RGB systems. RGB uses 0-255 while video systems use 16-235. If not done correctly, you can loose detail in the very dark areas and the very bright areas. Instead of having shades in those areas, it just goes all white or all black.

Many people don't even realize this is happening with folks growing up with LCD panels (which often have these issues) there whole life.

However, if you see properly calibrated displays side-by-side, it is very obvious.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cyberprodigy:
I see... I haven't noticed this but maybe I just don't know what the look for. I think the most likely possibility is that OP has improperly formatted videos.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
I haven't been looking out for it with this device, but if you want to see it, in general, with TVs monitors, etc, everytime you look at a dark scene in a movie, look at the faces of the people or the shadow areas. If you see the eyes and cheekbone, but then the cheek (ie shadow area) is just a black area, then it is probably black crush.

16 is considered black for video and they have "below" black levels 0-15. When it gets mapped incorrectly to RGB, 16 is mapped to 0 so you don't have the ability to see the "below" black levels anymore (ie they are crushed) as in RGB, there is nothing below 0.

You won't see it that well with bright scense, sports, etc.

This need root but no to unlock bootloader(recovery)

Note:

Can't install ROM zip in this way(can cause you phone bricked)

First,

1.Don't reboot to recovery.

2.extract the zip

3.put the files from zip to /system/???(different file different place)

4.set permission

5.reboot!

Second,

Now you can finish.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] krazykipa:
I'll try to make a short story short. I bought an AT&T S3 full price, off contract, in the States if that matters. (I live in Canada.) Five months ago it bit the dust out of nowhere in a most peculiar way - it does not power on regularly with only the battery (I have tried a friend's working battery) nor charge with USB inserted, but does power into download mode when a 301K jig is inserted with only the battery, and it lets me fully flash an ODIN image. When ODIN autoreboots the device, it boots to the first boot logo (no animation or sound) and does not proceed. Pulling the battery gets us back to square one, device does not boot at all.

Let me be clear before I proceed: this phone has been babied, never come into contact with any water of any form, and never dropped. The liquid damage indicators are, of course, white as ghosts.

So what to do? Call Samsung and send in for repair. Their findings?

Original Problem:
INSTALLATION - POWER - WILL NOT POWER UP

Problem found:
CORROSION, LIQUID DAMAGE

Solution:
BER

BER means beyond economic repair, apparently. So, I call them back, insist they fix their damn products, speak with a manager

(who describes that the damage as corrosion to the menu/back key connector, she specifically described "14 vertical components and they look very rusted, yeah that looks damaged to me")

I insist they are wrong, the whole nine yards, etc, they clear the BER flag and let me send it in again.

...and they say it's liquid damaged AGAIN. Exact same story. Just now apparently it magically migrated to a new location. The tech stuck a red chevron on my board over the PM8921 IC, which would make sense if the device won't power on I suppose, but there's no corrosion to be found anywhere.

This is where I am right now. I'm pretty furious at Samsung and I cannot go to my carrier because I was an idiot and bought the device full price.

Here are pics of my device to prove what BS Samsung is trying to pull here. Sorry for bad quality, the Nexus 4 is horrible at macro focus.:

All looks good here (menu/back key connection):

Even closer:

Does anybody know who I can complain to in order to actually get my phone fixed under warranty? It has warranty until December (which is useless by the looks of it) Small claims court? Better Business Bureau?

I also noticed a weird watery smudge on my screen whenever I pressed anywhere on it. I took out the battery and noticed that it was "fatter" and wasn't properly fitting inside the player. My question now is can I used the battery from my 3.6 player and use it for my 4.2 player? Is it safe? Will it damage my player?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Androthan:
Generally battery issue solution:

1. Calibrate battery

- Download "Battery Calibration" from NéMa from the Play Store

- Charge to 100 % and wait 20 minutes after it says "Full charge"

- Open Calibration app and touch "Calibrate"

- Unplug and discharge to 1 %

- Charge to 100 %

- Unplug

2. Battery training

- Every week: Discharge to 1 % and charge to 100 %

- Every month: Calibrate battery

3. Set the right settings

Open settings and disable (or set to lowest level) all features you don't need

I won't use the 3.6's battery

So I was hanging up on a call and noticed that in the "ongoing" notification, it said"device management - downloading software update, please do not" and had a little notification icon on the bar of 2 arrows facing opposite directions grey/blue one red. I tried to click the notification but got nothing, so I long press and looked at app info. It said AT&T software update Version v42_1_1303_5_1. I have tried searching this exact version number but nothing comes up on here or on google. I shut the phone off until further notice so I can see if this update is going to screw me in any way. Right now I am just rooted w/ TWRP recovery, but I don't want to do anything that locks this phone up. 32gb AT&T S4.
