[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] OldDogEyes:
Note: everything stock on my 2013 N7... locked bootloader, stock recovery and not rooted...

Followed the instructions for downloading & manually flashing kitkat OTA here:

www.androidpolice.com/2013/11/13/yo...4-4-ota-update-krt16o-for-2013-wi-fi-nexus-7/

Noted this from the instructions:

"You don't need a USB cable if you're just planning to download the OTA zip directly to your device and flash it from recovery."

When I booted into stock recovery there is no option to flash the update.zip... only option is to sideload update via ADB..

What am I missing
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Mike318:
they are talking about flashing it from a custom recovery, if i am not mistaken. you can still use the asb method
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Soapy77:
Sideload. Do you have the Android SDK installed? If not, do you at least have the basic tools? ADB, Fastboot,etc? If so...

Enter sideload mode.

put the update.zip file in that folder ( with the adb exe) and open a command window (with nothing selected, hold shift and right click in the empty area in that folder. Click on "open command window here"). (Windows instructions) type adb sideload <filename>.zip <Enter>

That should push the file to your device, and immediately flash it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] crspang:
Pardon my ignorance but is there a way to flash 4.4 without a PC? My laptop is broke.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] OldDogEyes:
I have a PC.. and ADB. But the article said that it could be done on the device... poorly written article ... made it sound like it could be flashed sans PC from a stock device... guess not...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Soapy77:
Yes, if your bootloader is unlocked and you have a custom recovery installed. You should be able to download it to the device, then flash it with the custom recovery.

I have been after a car charger for my Exec and as O2 dont sell one i searched ebay for one. There are loads on there so bought one and it was deliverd in 2 days. But it dont work (the charger has a sticker on it saying its for motorola v3) I have emailed the seller 3 times and he wont reply. I will be reporting him to ebay. But i wanted to warn you all to avoid the seller by the ebay user name of siennacommunications.

If anyone out there has bought a car charger for thier exec then i would like to know where you bought it thanks.

Blackberry charger works

hi, I too fell into the ebay trap. So I shopped around and bought a Blackberry in car charger from vodaphone shop for £10. works a treat and doesn't look cheap.

Re: Blackberry charger works

The car chargers from Orange shops @ 9.99, intended for the SPV C500 / SPV C550 / SPV M500 / SPV C600, also work fine (they're HTC devices, after all).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ArgyleMoss:
Re: Blackberry charger works

I tried the blackberry charger from O2 but it didnt seem to work correctly i.e it took around 5 to 10 mins before it started to charge, if at all. So i took it back and one of the O2 staff that gave me a refund said that they shouldnt of sold it to me.

I think i will try the one from Orange, because like you said it is a HTC device. And if there were any problems then at least i could get my money back.

BTW that twat from ebay still wont get in touch with me for a refund.

Motorola V3 charger

-----------But it dont work (the charger has a sticker on it saying its for motorola v3)------------

Hi, I have an i-mate Jasjar and a Motorola V3, and I can use the V3 charger with the Jasjar, the only problem is that the V3 charger has an output of 550mA and the Jasjar charger has (should have) 1000mA.

The only way I managed to charge my Jasjar with the V3 charger is to power it off with the button, closing the lid with the Jasjar in Portrait mode and plugging the V3 charger in to the mini USB port of the Jasjar, you should see the charging led of the Jasjar (in UR case O2 EXEC) turn on Ambar it will take about 5 seconds.

Hope this helps
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
I swapped the curly cable from my Brodit Active cradle for a regular USB cable with a cigarette light/USB adapter, but it didn't work at first. For some reason pin 4 (which isn't normally wired up in a 4pin to 5 pin plug) had to be connected to pin 5. That might be the problem you are suffering from with the non-Exec/HTC cables.

Cheers,

Steve.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pyrom:
Ive just ordered a hollux slim gps, a mount/cradle from dsldevelopments and a cigerette lighter to 2x usb port adapter from ebay. Only just ordered, waiting for everythign to come at the moment. The adapter is just a cigerette lighter with 2x full size usb ports on back of it, rated at 5v/7.2A, im assuming I can use the supplied usb cable that come with the exec and plug it into this to charge? (along with the gps at same time).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
No, that's the point I was making - that configuration didn't work for me (or my colleague). The standard USB cable that has a USB A at one end and the USB B Mini at the other doesn't have pin 4 wired up in the Mini B, and so doesn't charge the Exec. I had to splice open my moulded plug, and put some solder on pins 4 and 5 to make it work.

Cheers,

Steve.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pyrom:
:) thx, i was vague (i hope :P) by supplied cable, I mean the orginal exec-usb cable that came with the exec, not a generic one. The connectors on the cigerette lighter are full size usb A sockets, not plugs.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
This is weird: I'm charging my Exec using a USB cable that came with my Canon camera and I keep the original Exec cable in my laptop bag for emergencies.

The Canon cable works fine and charges my Exec no probs. Wonder why. Maybe digicam cables also have the pin arrangement you describe?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ArgyleMoss:
I have now emailed the prick i bought the car charger from 5 times (ebay) and he is still ignoring me. Do you guys think i should post his email address on here so the UNIVERSAL community can have a go at the twat, or do you think i should cut my losses and move on. After all it is only £5.49 ive lost, but its the first time ive had this trouble from an ebay seller and its winding me up. WHY WONT HE RETURN MY EMAILS?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] l6cum:
try a guy on ebay 'solwareltd'

i have bought 3 cradles from him Arkon type with car charging systems built in and they worked a treat. Xda2s and Xda2i were perfect as windscreen mounted aswell as charging.

the Exec version i have to mount upside down as the mini USB is obxtruced by the side clamps but with 'rotate screen' option in TomTom this proved not to be a major problem at all.

Trustworthy and reliable i have found this guy to be and i recommend him to anyone whos after the car options for HTC devices.

thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
The interesting thing is that regular USB cables work if plugged into a PC, it's just when they are plugged into these cigarette lighter adapter devices. My setup in the car actually has one of those with a two port USB hub plugged into it, and that required the mod I mentioned.

Cheers,

Steve.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ArgyleMoss:
Ebay seller has just emailed me (after 4 days and six emails to him) and admits he sent the wrong charger. He says he will send me a charger for C500 which he says will do the EXEC. I hope hes right for his sake!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
Do check first that its definitely not working because I've had troubles with car chargers - I've personally found that you need to open up the XDA, then turn it off (pressing the power button), then plug it into the car charger and the orange light will illuminate.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
Interesting - that's the same "fix" procedure for the "device not recognised" problem.

Cheers,

Steve.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
Bizzare isn't it - I wonder why the device doesn't simply start charging as soon as it hits the mains/power?? I guess the device uses a software routine to initiate the charging and check voltage etc - safe...but annoying!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Could be that the charger isn't supplying enough amps to charge the machine if it's already on, so you have to turn it off to drop the machine's power consumption enough to initiate the charging process.

Today I found this:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BKPhil:
When I long-press the home button, a big half-ring comes up, with a big Google button at the top (that takes you to Google Now). The rest of the ring shows nothing.

Is that it? Is there anything I can do to customize this? The size of the half-ring visually suggests that other 'buttons' could live on that ring and be swiped to, but I've found no settings to allow that.

As it stands, seems like a silly and redundant function, given that I can already swipe up, or swipe right, to get to Google Now.

I am running stock 5.1 on my N5 with Nova launcher. I am presented with a few options when I long press home, back, and recents. I preferred search but wanted to try screen off.

How do I clear defaults for this selection?? I'm going nuts trying to find the setting.

I don't think its a launcher setting. It happens with Nova and gNow launchers. I tried clearing the google apps defaults, no go.

Any suggestions?

Its a Greenify feature. Cleared Greenify's defaults. Resolved.

So I ran into a peculiar problem.. I flashed my E971 (Unlocked, Canada) and I successfully installed the KitKat AOSP rom. No problems there. However, the optimus G has problems utilizing it's cores and it heats up, therefore, as we all know, it is recommended to keep the phone in EcoMode..........PROBLEM: There is no ecomode in KitKat rom! So now the phone heats up and I lost something like 40% battery power in one hour of use last night and I had data off, location off, sync off, brightness low, the only thing I had on was wifi.

Anyways, I can surely flash back to stock ROM but I really don't want to. Can someone recommend an app to manage the cores or some way to put the phone into "EcoMode" like was possible with Android 4.1.2?

I tried a few CPU manager apps but they mostly say "You phone doesn't support multiple cores"
[LG Optimus G (International)] hasan4791:
If yu have installed Houstonns AOSP rom then yu can use Trickster mod app to turn off cores....hot plug is available....ECO mode is nothing but dual core mode....this one solve the heating issue..:good:

Luckily it has Houstonns. Are there other apps out there that I can try out beside the hot plug? How does one replicate eco mode? Simply switch off two cores, or lower the frequency from 1500 to 1200 and lower?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seb77bis:
Hi,

I noticed that the newest mobile devices sporting the latest GPUs have for the most screen matrices of size 1920x1080. I personally think that 960x540 is plenty (at least for a 5'' screen) and browsing glxbench I noticed that upgrading my device (running a mid range GPU with screen 960x540) to a newer device will not bring me the huge boost I was expecting as computation power will be wasted in filling up 4 times more pixels that I can barely see (or at least would not mind not seeing). From the bench it seems that the x4 pixel number increase imparts a 2.5x slowing down factor (1920x1080 offscreen vs 960x540 onscreen on my device). It seems very complex to change screen resolution under Android (at least up to 4.2), here are three questions:

- Why is it so complex?

- What is the easiest way? I will be already very happy with an option to run at binning 2 (1920x1080 --> 960x540) that could be activated on device startup.

- Will a native support will be supported in the next release(s)?

As a side question I noticed that some old games (especially Gameloft games) are not displayed right on my device (black borders + touch screen offset), changing resolution might cure it too... is that right?

Best, Sébastien

Hi

I have an Orange SPV M5000 with the original rom installed. However, on average every 3 out of 4 times I connect the device to my computer a balloon pops up saying "USB Device Not Recognized" and the device does nto synchronize. However if I continuously unplug and plug the device back in every 10 seconds, eventuallly it will work. I have ActiveSync 4.1 and Windows XP Pro SP2 installed on my computer.

Is there any way I can fix this problem or is there something wrong with my PC, rom or hardware? I notice that when I plug the usb into the device the charge light comes on, but sometimes will go out again just after 2 or 3 seconds and not come back on.

Many thanks
