Yeah. Not a big priority would've been kind of cool though to mess with my kids. :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] tourist2:
I got at least 8 feet range with mine, but it only works to power on/off, the direction and number buttons. It does not change channel by the app.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gottahavit:
I had this issue. When you set up the device remember which one you said yes to when it asks if it worked and this time say no so it goes on to the next code in the list. Eventually you'll find the right one that does all the functions.

btw I also get about 8 ft from mine, but it needs to be flat and pointed right at the device. Kinda useless compared to good universal remote.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] edan1979:
mine work around 5m only... so kind of useless
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] tourist2:
It works fine with one TV, while for another TV, it only works with some functions. I have tried different codes already. I guess I may need to try to change the codes for each button individually.

5m is a great distance for most IR remote. You must have a very big house. ;)

Sometimes while I'm playing gangstar Vegas, even for a short time, it'll randomly close.

I am using PAC ROM alpha and I didn't have the game when I was using the stock ROM.

Is it because of my ROM?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falog:
Hi, just got a new S4. Transferred by Whatsapp backup files from my S2 to the S4 device memory and installed Whatsapp. Clicked Ok when prompted if I wish to restore chat history. However, after the restore was completed, Whatsapp stopped working and the chat history was missing, together with the back up files.

Anyone encounter something similar and managed to restore successfully? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadeshmagic:
I managed a restore without any issues....rather than just copying the backup files...copt the entire whatsapp folder to your phone memory and freshly install whatsapp and try restoring...I'm sure it will work :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falog:
Hi sadeshmagic, thanks for responding. That was exactly what I did. I copied the whole Whatsapp folder (including sub-folders) and pasted onto the device storage. During setup, Whatsapp did recognise that there is an existing database and prompted if I wish to restore it, which I did. However, 2 seconds after restore is completed, Whatsapp stopped working. When I access Whatsapp, there are no old chats.

Tried going back to my S2 and making backups again then copy the Whatsapp folder to the S4, but the same thing keeps happening.

Dear friend,

There's a problem in your hardware related to the power switching.Its internal.Take it to the SONY service center nearby and I think they won't charge you more for this minor problem.Please Lock you bootloader and make sure you are on Generic ROM before you approach.

Press thanks if I helped

I am really busy trying to figure out what CAB is what for to be able to complete my extended rom indexing project, but there are some files I am just not sure about enoough to be able to categorise them

so if you all could look at the files and let me know if you know what it is, that would be great, it would benefit us all. It uses to much of my time as it is, so I could use the help

[General Topics] HDuser:
had a look at the BA section

Default_BA_Version_122.CAB

All files that are Version_XXX are only there to change the reg entgry for the version number and set them to a value.

as in:

BA_Version_122.CAB = Set Extended Rom version number to 1.22.126

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\3rdversion] "MSYSTEM"="1.22.162 WWE"

To find out what a cab does you need to extract it using a appl like cab manager which can be found on:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Tools

You need to be aware of the fact that cabs nothing more than a application installer, some are retail and some are given to us be our operators.

I feel you should not try to index retail versions as these change and soon become out of date.

My best guess:

Default_Enroller_enhance_1.CAB = this is or could be a operator cab that will set up the e-mail settings for that operator.

BA_OEM_PA_STK.sa.CAB = Patch for the stk.exe file, seen this is the BA kitchen.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Patches_122

VoiceServices_PPC.ARMV4.CAB = looks like a retail package

YetiCompactClient1.0.0.9.cab = yeti application seen in one of the 1.3x versions, something to due about trafic

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=120966#120966

BA_Panel_Detect.exe = think this is appl that checks the status of input of the screen when executed in config.txt
[General Topics] M4io:
BTPSKeyUpdate_003.exe : BlueTooth Pairing Security update

xmailInstaller2003.PPC_ARM_2003.CAB : "real-time access to your work emails, calendar and contacts on your xda, O2 mobile or PC"

see : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Himalaya Rom 1.72 comparison

For the others I can make only guesses :

Cproghook : that is Mamaichs extra contact button on the phone ?

O2* : Customisation and MMS/GPRS settings ?

I've tried searching, but don't seem to find quite what I'm looking for. Does anyone know if there is a flashable zip to get the audio libraries back for AOSP roms?

I don't think you can load beats on a non sense ROM. But you could use an app like DSP manager to achieve similar effects.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnoteuser2013:
Hi,

I saw that Google is offering an unlocked Nexus 4 for $199, so I went and ordered one.

I don't use cell phone minutes too much in a month as I often have access to Wifi in my area. I was wondering what pay as you go sim card options are compatible with this device (in the USA).

For example, I saw an ATT GoPhone plan that is $2 per day of use which I think may work for me, but I don't know if it is compatible with the Nexus 4 or if there are other similar or better options.

Thank you
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huge Fandroid:
Is that $2 every day or just the days you use it? That would still be $60/month.

As long as you can get a micro SIM card, any plan should work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmclove69:
You could do tmobiles 30$ plan. 100 minutes, text unlimited and 5gb of 4g data then slowed down after that. Not a pay as you go but seems way cheaper and better than what you had in mind.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N3V3RS3TTL3:
I just bought 2 N4's from GPlay as well and have been looking for the best option. I know that for my area the only two options are T-Mo and Straight Talk. Both have inexpensive monthly plans. It basically comes down to which carrier provides better service on your area. I chose T-Mo. If after I activate my phones, I'm not pleased, I'll try out the other monthly carrier next month.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
you do realize that straight talk probably will use T-Mobile towers and more than likely will give you worse reception. Now if you have AT&T in your area then Straight Talk may use them. T-Mo can be 40-60 a month and Straight Talk is about 45 a month

there are threads in xda and the web with a breakdown of every MVNO and prepaid cell company out there.. Just Google it

I'm using Simple Mobile. It's part of the Tracfone family. Unlimited everything (even 4G - HSPA+ or LTE with patch). There are two options for unlimited everything $40 and $50. The $40 option supposedly throttles you after 500mb (haven't seen it yet and always over 500 x2 or 3), $50 no throttle.

All the Sim seller did was cut down a Sim for me.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnoteuser2013:
Thank you for your replies, I will be going through them for more information

As for the $2/day then you only pay $2 on the days that you use it.

Also, I am not interested at all in using a plan that includes data, my wifi connections are good enough for that. I am more interested in making phone calls from time to time, especially in cases of emergency or when away from wifi. Maybe on average I use less than 100 minutes a month.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Then you might as well do pay as you go, and save even more by using Vonage to make free calls over Wi-Fi. I still recommend the T-Mobile $30 100min/5GB plan though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph37rd:
Simple mobile also has a talk and text plan. As well, for others, they just up'ed the amount of 4g data on all their plans. So my $40 plan is now 1gb of 4g before they supposedly throttle me
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fire Ball:
If you don't plan to use very many minutes and you don't need to use any data then I'd recommend Lycamobile. It is a T-Mobile MVNO, so as long as you have good T-Mobile service in your area you'll be good. http://www.lycamobile.us/en/national-plans
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] neonlite:
very interesting! lots of FC after loading the file, cant really "Power off using power button" because of FC-windows, using adb reboot instead.

current ROM: [ROM][CM10.2][4.3][CyanogenMod FLO Kangs][DJL10.2][LINARO][Build 10-TEST][2013/08/27]

ts-10: no more jumping in google maps while zooming/panning, but still jumping in other apps. after second reboot, starts jumping in maps again. after third reboot, no jumping on rightside of screen.

screenshot using two fingers

ts-20: lots of jumping on right side of the screen, zooming/panning in gmaps is still jumpy. after third reboot, still jumpy in gmaps.

ts-30: still jumps of right side of the screen, just a few mm from the right bezel,zooming/panning in gmaps is still jumpy. after second reboot, same effect. after third reboot, still jumpy on right side of screen.

so what exactly are in those files?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
When you say lots of FCs, can you tell me what ROM/version you are running?

You should IGNORE any instability in that first boot. While you can boot into android using the files I'm providing (and in some cases run fine), there could be mismatches in versions depending on what you have currently installed, which is why I say in RED you must reboot at least once before the system will become stable.

Once you do that reboot, you are back on your original software with just the touchscreen controller updated.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
You must IGNORE any results from that first boot for all the packages, especially since you are running CM because (on that first boot) you are essentially running CM with a stock kernel without any kernel mods CM may need.

On CM I would actually not pass judgment until perhaps a second reboot.

One shouldn't have as much instability in that first boot if they are running a stock ROM.

Can you compare the behavior to what you had before trying them out?

I presume you had some issues before, hence trying these out.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] neonlite:
yes, ignored all FC's. no problem.

ts-10 is running perfectly, no more jumpy stuff. maps/right side of screen, hold and drag working great too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] OJ in Compton:
I really appreciate how much effort you've put into helping others with troubled devices here.

Could we get some clarification on what exactly the 3 packages are? Are these touchscreen settings customized by you or simply the settings from each of the 3 versions of 4.3 we have had available to us?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
It is the touchscreen controller software.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rsfinsrq:
My tablet was working perfectly on the JSS15J then JSS15Q came along and I found letters "sticking" while typing and the screen was unresponsive to touch while laying flat on a table. I flashed the ts-10-lock image and so far, so good. I have been typing for awhile now with no "sticking" letters, and while laying flat on a table. I have not encountered the unresponsive screen at all flat on its back or otherwise. I will continue running through scenarios that used to give me problems and report back if I encounter anything. Also, running Bulletproof kernel and no impact with kernel functions.

Thank you sfhub!

Can anyone verify if placing the N7 on a Macbook Pro keyboard still triggers the multitouch craziness with the patch?

This is the video of my N7 placed on my MBPs' keyboard.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H05N1P0dpTo

Can this really be only a software problem?

I am not really experiencing other touchscreen issues with my N7 except for some very rare stuck touches. This one I triggered by accident.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
So this guy goes to the doctor's office and says my head hurts everytime I hit the wall. The doctor says, then stop hitting the wall.

Couldn't you just slide it over and don't use the tablet on top of the keyboard?

Have you considered the MacBook Pro might be emitting interference? Stray currents and voltages? It doesn't take much to throw these capacitative touchscreens off.

On this thread, most people have it much worse than you making the tablet very hard to use. We are trying to get these units back into a state that is at least usable.

Your case, while an interesting science project really isn't something someone would feel any sense of urgency to help address.

Yea I booted 10 first and it is great. I can't reproduce any of the bugs I've seen before using YAMMT.

Google Maps Pinch/Zoom is working flawlessly. I couldn't even zoom in before.

The OP says to "fastboot boot boot-ts10-lock.img". Should we eventually "fastboot flash boot-ts10-lock.img" to make it permanent?

My N7 is:

HW rev_e

Bootloader....... FLO-03.14

15Q - CM 10.2 Kanged Build 9

Sitting the N7 on my Logitech Keyboard doesn't make it go crazy either! LOGITECH FTW
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] afremont:
How do you "lock" it in so that it won't get updated? Is it just a file in the filesystem, if so how do you prevent "fastboot erase" from getting rid of it? I've looked at ektf3k.c and know where I need to make a change so that it will replace any non-matching version, but I don't really know where the actual firmware is stored. It doesn't seem to be in the vendor part of the kernel tree or in the actual ektf3k.c or ektf3k.h files. Where is it kept? kept in fw_data.b

I'm new to Android, but I'm not new to Linux or reverse engineering so please be patient with me. Just looking for a technical description of how you did what you did. What exactly is in the .img files?

EDIT: I haven't booted any of them yet, but I'm guessing these are Linux kernel images with a modified version of the elan driver. Sorry for being stupid, I'm just trying to put this all together in my head and I can't cope with anything that seems like magic. Thanks for your time.

EDIT: Ok, I figured out where the firmware is stored. I also successfully built a ROM with my compiled kernel and flashed them to the tablet. No brick, it booted the second try and seems to work. ;) Of course there's no apps on it hardly.

I'm kinda thinking out loud here, please correct anything that I get wrong:

I started off with the assumption that there was a closed source driver, but that seems to have been incorrect on my part. After looking at the code a little more, I see that ektf3k.c appears to be the lowest level driver, outside the embedded firmware. The driver does only update the firmware in the case that the flash is empty (FFFF.....) or the firmware presented is a higher version (just as you said of course). It appears that a simple change will make it flash any version presented that is different than the one currently flashed in. I plan to try this on my tablet and see if there are any unexpected repercussions from doing so.

I wish I had a datasheet for the controller (hint hint anyone). ;)

DISCLAIMER: I know that you have already solved this problem in an arguably better way, I just want to tinker around a little. Thanks again. :good::good::good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lespaulman67:
So if we do this can we lock the boot loader backup. If for some reason it doesn't work will I be able to take it back for exchange. After unlocking the boot loader. Do people leave the boot loader unlocked . Is the software staying the same meaning will I be ok downloading future updates.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Frozenthunder:
Is there a way to find out what variance is installed right now on the device? I got JSS15Q and my tablet is useable but sometimes there are ghost touches or the touch is stuck or gets interrupted and the likes.

was wondering if i flash factory image will that change this fix? cause i did something wrong with build prop now need to flash the factory image so do i need to flash the ts10 after?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
Unaffected by flashing factory image. No need to reflash TS10.

That's the beauty of being locked in. No need to worry about the touchscreen changing on you any more (unless you want it to)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Reckoning:
I'm a noob here, been lurking a while and reading the invaluable info in this thread. I have a new N7 coming in tomorrow and don't know whether to ****, go blind, or hold on to my iPad and jump off the roof. Seriously, someone give me clue on the best course of action as far as touch testing, update sequence, or just leave it in the box.:confused:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] danvee:
Best course of action: use the crap out of it up to the point where you can still return it.

If there's the touch issues, the OP has the answer.

If it spontaneously reboots, that's an issue that might or might not be hardware. You can return or exchange it then.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Reckoning:
So, as I understand it, the screen fixes can be applied to any build update. Is that correct?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] danvee:
Yep.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Reckoning:
EXCELLENT! Now I can just throw my iPad off the roof alone.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] gizmik:
Great job

I just want to thank you for your efforts, you're doing a great job here.

It didn't solve problems for me, which I'm not sure to have, in fact my device is still on his way from US to my country :D

But I'm ahead of it and reading everything, I mean EVERYTHING that I can face in the near future and touchscreen problems on a "touchscreen only" device is the worst scenario for me ))))

Another reason you are awesome is that, WE - people outside US have problems for exchanging devices or geting refund, for example to just ship device back to amazon I need to pay something like 110$ :)

That's why software fixes are so important.....for those, in US or in authorised countries that's not a big problem though, because they can exchange units or get refunds.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] bandit_knight:
Can you rotate the map with two fingers when the tablet lays on a bed or table after the fix? I can do it when holding the device in my hands but when I place it on a bed or table it starts to freak out. What is more weird that I can see in YAMTT that the touches are detected properly but still google maps fails to rotate the map properly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] MasterElwood:
Yes. Yes I can.

It's not a grounding problem. Have that on my 2012 N7.

Maybe 1 out of 20 times maps does not rotate - but I think this is a normal map thing.

Have you tried phone tester? It has a great multi touch test.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] bandit_knight:
Yes I did. In the phone tester I cannot see any stuttery in the touch detection when using two fingers "rotation" gesture no matter the devices is held in a hand or laying on a flat surface. But in the maps app the experience is much different between those two setups. When I hold the device in my had I get almost 100% correct rotations. But when the tablet is on a surface I can rotate the map by maybe 20 degrees and that's it. That is really weird.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
I guess success is a double-edged sword.

We seem to have made a significant dent on the people suffering from multi-touch issues as the Google thread has gone quiet:

Multi-touch thread at Google product forums.

Unfortunately Google probably feels the problem is fixed so there is a good chance they won't continue working on it.
