[Nexus 7 (2013) General] OSCSA79:
Hello,

i want to share what happen to me and how sad and dissappinted i'm with the ASUS nexus 7

i went through 4 nexus 7 (2013) in less than a month and I'm done... i got the first one when they first came out, as soon as i turn it on it said the goggle keyboard was not compatible, and every other app was not compatible, end up doing a factory reset and "it work" but the battery was only lasting 3 hrs. so i went and got a new one.

second one looked like it was working fine and i had it for a full 2 weeks... then i notice the back part where said "Asus" it was making a clicking noise, i thought it was no big deal but then the noise got louder and it was through the whole wide area of the ASUS brand in the back

third one ... fresh from them box after installing all my apps, asked me to do a reset for an update and got stock on re-staring loop over and over ...so away to bestbuy i went AGAIN.....

last one same thing had to a reset for an update..... and i got stock on the "X" of nexus and it recycles over and over and over ....

called android the guy said calls Asus that's a hardware issue

called asus... the guy said to send it over might take up to 10 days and i have to pay for the shipping.....

at this point I'm done I'm going tomorrow to return it........sucks cuz i don't want get a samsung with all the junk the put in their tables ...nexus was the way to go, for me with the pure android experience.....i'm pretty upset with the whole deal....

any advise ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aerdely:
Wouldn't know what to tell you except return it and try some place else. Bestbuy might of gotten a bad shipment or something. Some have reported build quality issue but a lot of others have reported having no issues what so ever look here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2407866

I as well got mine off amazon, through amazon them selves, no separate sellers and have had very good luck with no issues after testing what others have reported. Can only say keep trying maybe some where else if have to other wise like you said if your too fed up then maybe go with something else. The new Asus memo fhd's are coming out soon but went with the nexus 7 my self because looked like had the best options, also the new nexus 10 should be coming out at some point just don't know when.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] freeza:
at least Samsung's quality control is better and their tablets work properly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Google Keyboard is not needed because you already have it. Plus this isn't the device fault, its because 4.3 Android is new. This happens every update. Some developers only allow an app to install to specific versions. 3hours battery seems low but that depends what you do. 3 hours of screen on time playing a game is normal.

The clicking noise is the camera shutter. Most cameras do this.

Update causing bootloops... Sad to say that it appears to be a bad update that is effecting everyone. Just ignore the update or flash a custom rom.

I know you are frustrated but the devices all sound like they were fine. There aren't any reports I've seen of many defective units. Just new 4.3 software pains. The Nexus devices are mostly for developers to get access to cheap hardware with the latest software. Hence why other manufactures don't upgrade until after a few revisions.

The N7 is a great tab if you can manage the buggy update. You can skip the upgrade but it will keep asking to install it.

Unless you need a tablet now, perhaps, in your case, it would be best wait a week or two until a new update drops.

Good info. Not sure if that IS the fix as everyone I've talked too said a factory reset did little to solve anything.

It WILL fix a bootloop but it will not stop the random reboots that eventually cause the bootloops.

The reboots are from bad factory images. The only fix I've seen work is to reflash the stock rom that Google has posted.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] OSCSA79:
is it worthy to root the nexus 7 ? your already running pure android ..... why CM if you dont mind my asking .... or is just because the problems we are having?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Well pure android doesn't have root. You need root for such apps like Titanium backup and App Syncing Apps. CM is just a rom. Actually it is a very stock like rom. Its pure android much like what we have on our Nexus devices but it heavily modified by the CM team. Even though more recent builds have been closer and closer to stock apps, most are complete rewrites. They have their own Camera, Dialer, Launcher, extra settings, and Theme support.

CM uses their own special kernel and drivers. It helps when troubleshooting an issue. It works very well and a great option right now.

Stuck at X logo?

Just from there enter recovery holding power + volume up when the Android Guy appears with the no command press again power + volume up then wipe cache and reboot if still stuck at the X logo repeat but factory reset this time. That's what I did with mine. In my case just wiping the cache fix it.

A trick I learned with the old white macbooks. Use a mr. clean magic eraser to clean the back of the white galaxy s3 if it is starting to discolor. This works on pretty much any white plastic and will take the dirt right off with little effort without damaging the gloss.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Domoo:
Just be careful with any unprotected and dyed surfaces. It'll strip the dye right off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kingsway8605:
Yeah, you should take the cover off the phone before cleaning the cover with it. But I've never stripped paint off plastic using them. Worst case scenario, you buy a new battery cover lol, but you won't need to. The magic erasers really are the best thing ever, literally just lifts the dirt up and nothing else.

So just picked up a new Galaxy S3 AT&T as my old one had a cracked LCD. I rooted using Odin, boot into recovery Clockwork Recovery, installed superuser and rebooted. Afterwards I tried to go back into the clockwork mod recovery to install roms but instead of CWM I was greeted with the factory android recovery screen instead.. I tried rooting a few times, each time shows clockwork mod recovery but after a reboot it reverted. This use to work on my previous galaxy but this new one isnt taking it..

version 4.1.2 Just got it yesterday.. Any idea?

Check for a file named /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on your system partition. That will try to replace the recovery when the phone starts in case it has been corrupted.

Android 4.3 has been reported as having reconnecting issues with WiFi.

Have you tried more than one router? You may want to forget the router on Android and reset the router itself, this has helped me in the past.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TimeAndroid:
I've tried forgetting and re-connecting it does not work. I can connect fine on other routers. Also, how do I "reset" the router?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:
To reset it all you should have to do is unplug it for about 30 seconds and plug it back in. There might also be a button in the back you hold down.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TimeAndroid:
Wouldn't that clear all the settings?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:
Yes it will, sorry I should have mentioned that. You'll have to add the settings back yourself.

It sounds like a router issue to me, since your phone connects fine to other routers, so this maybe your best option.

But you could also try another cm10.2 based rom (I'm on slim and have no issues) (make a nandroid of course) to see if that is the issue as well.

I've had my phone do this with a specific router before as well and resetting it fixed it for me.

EDIT: You could also try changing your phones IP address.

On your phone go to wifi settings>long press wifi name> click modify>check show advanced options>click DHCP and select static>change Ip(when changing IP only change the last set of numbers after the last period keep the 192.168.1.)

Is it 5Ghz band specifically that has problems?

I know I've been having problems with *just* the 5Ghz wireless SSID on my LAN (I'm on NovaGen latest) and came across another thread (I'd have to go dig around more) that basically said there's a known bug with CM10.2 where you have to have your SSID channel set below 48 to get CM 10.2 to connect. Hopefully that helps someone. Worked for me.

Tom,

Havent used a 3300 but have used a 3100. Semi succesful. Being an all things to all phones device it seems to have a life of its own sometimes has been known to drop the b'tooth connection for no reason and have to be re-paired before it will work again. The phonebook function is superb and once youve pushed all your contacts into it works very well indeed. Hate to say it but with my old Nokia 6230, it was seamless and all sorts of phone functionality was available. With my M500 and Treo 650, not quite so good, but I am told the best of the lot. Hope this helps.

I have just purchased the CK3500 and l would just like to say the phone is brill,no problems with my SPV M500 at all. well with the phone anyway. had a 3 hour drive yesterday and never dropped once works great so far. The only problem is i can not get my M500 to work with the gps :( not happy, but will keep trying :)

updated because of that, to the new firmware 4.12 but still no luck

Thanks

On the SPV 500 , just go into contacts, tap and hold on the first contact and drag down the list until all contacts are selected,

the go to tools, beam contacts

on the CK3500 i have to pair my phone with the CK3500 on the list of devices something like Sim contacts or something like that.

OK

[Nook HD, HD+ General] AlanRoberts:
I've done some searching, but the volume of content on these forums, along with the different operating modes, is making my head spin a bit. Advice or pointers to posts of particular importance gratefully appreciated. My HD+ is running 10.1 installed internally.

I plan to run with an external card in the SD slot, to keep content there and preserve internal space for applications, or app data that can't be pushed to the external card. I have the card (never used). Is there a file system choice for this card that maximizes performance? If so do I command the tablet to format the card, or do that on my supporting PC with SDFormatter?

I'm not clear if the patch to "swap" internal and external SD card locations is just for tablets running stock B&N software, or if this is also the desirable approach for a tablet running CM? If I don't use the patch, is there a post with guidelines for hacking configuration of existing apps (Kindle reader, Google books, etc) to use the external SD card?

Am I correct in understanding I may need to reference more than just the Google Play Store, to obtain apps that Google doesn't sanction (like an ad blocker for my browser)? Recommendations on alternate app stores ... Amazon's, other?

Do folks pull their eBook content straight to their tablet (via paid-content stores or free sources), or is the "better" practice to take a hop to your PC, into Calibre for conversion/backup/library management, and then down to the tablet?

One of my goals for the tablet is to catch up on a backlog of web site-based content that I need to read. I'd like to have the tablet pull content (in a "crawlish" kind of way with guidance/limits) while at home, tethered to power and next to solid WiFi, so I can read while traveling when I'm not the driver. Anyone know of a thread that is a good reference to setup of a solid, "offline browsing" strategy?

Thanks,

Alan Roberts
[Nook HD, HD+ General] e.mote:
>Is there a file system choice for [SD] card that maximizes performance?

I don't think it matters. Use FAT32 or exFAT if you want to have >4GB files. NTFS or ext4 are alternatives, although their delayed-write feature means unmounting the card as versus simply yanking it out. Since it's for storage, it'll be mostly reads and not writes, and speed shouldn't be an issue.

>is [patch to swap int & ext SDcard location] the desirable approach for a tablet running CM?

Suggest sticking with plain vanilla unless there is good reason to do otherwise. Even with a 16GB Nook, there should be plenty of space for apps, and you can store large multimedia on ext SDcard w/o need for swap patch. Suggest you use the Nook more extensively to find out what your needs are, before making systemic changes to the OS.

>[may I] need to reference more than just the Google Play Store, to obtain apps that Google doesn't sanction

Goog Play Store is a superset of Amazon's store, so no need to have both. Some people want to include Amazon's as that has free apps daily. It's a preference, not a necessity. Sideloading apps has little to do with app stores. Aside from apps (you mentioned ad blocker) not available in 'stores', there are times when you simply want to install an apk file, as with apps on XDA and elsewhere. There's no need to do anything extra to sideload.

>Do folks pull their eBook content straight to their tablet

Unless your workflow goes through the PC, it's much simpler and faster to download straight to the tablet. You can of course download to the PC for functions other than reading.

>Anyone know of a thread that is a good reference to setup of a solid, "offline browsing" strategy?

Depends on what type of content you have in mind. There are RSS reader apps, Flipboard, etc. Suggest you go into Goog Play store and try some searches with relevant keywords, or search via Goog with same keywords + 'Android app' suffix.

TBH, microsofts update model sucks. It still goes through the carriers and some models will never receive updates (or never receive them until months after other models/carriers... Like Portico for Bell, getting it months after rogers.)
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Freespacer:
Guys, Data Sense is part of GDR2 but it depends on your carrier if you see it on your phone. Thats been said about 100k times. Thats what Microsift wrote in the update description.

AFAIK most european carriers dont suppprt it. =P

Or US model, or Canadian model...

So which mythical models support it?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Freespacer:
Who is talking about 'models'? Its not about phone models.

It's about your carrier. If your carrier supports it you will see it on your phone with GDR2. If your carrier doesnt you dont see it.

If in doubt ask your carrier.

But can we plz stay on topic? Its about the latest update which came out yesterday. Can somebody plz check the numbers i posted?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] crixley:
Regardless, not one carrier (carrier's "model" i.e. - different carriers versions may have different capabilities) I have heard of included it yet (I think people on wpcentral with unbranded "models" didn't even get it.)

I was under the impression that Microsoft were not going to get strong-armed by carriers, like Bell getting portico months after rogers.

Also, talking about a feature being left out IS talking about the update.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Freespacer:
This is about the update AFTER GDR2. I had it for weeks. Still there was another update today. HTC 8Xs had some troubles and this 'after GDR2 update' seems to fix the issues (like the overheating of the sound chip).

Please fin youself a thread about GDR2 not one for updayes to it. And for your information. This is not about 'bullying' - Data Sense like Visual Voice Mail depends on technology employed by the carrier. It is part of the update. And yes i do t know any carrier who uses it. But if you are from Europe i can by now confirm you wont see it. Please ask your carrier about when or if they will deploy Data Sense.
