Eventually, your device will receive an OTA update. For some reason, these staged rollouts by Google are really slow. However, you are able to flash the update by using the factory image

But

Any idea when the updates might reach me ?

And how to do it if i do it myself?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaka88:
Hello everyone, I'm new in here and I'm using Nexus 4..

I'm planning to flash custom ROM and kernel, i want better performance and most important thing is better battery life..

I don't really care about features and costumize anything, it's all about performance..

So which ROM should I go? I saw so mani ROMS here, it's makes me confused..

Besides that, I'm totally noob with flashing and rooting..

Thanks before. Your suggestions will be appreciated.. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goku80:
go for a rom that has just some nice features but also keeps performance..something like rastakat or cm11 or kitkang...whenever i flash those kinda roms always have great battery life and perfomance...crdroid is another good one....but please next time post in the right forum section..

this has nothing to do with themes and apps..

all the best
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaka88:
Thanks!

That's really useful and give me idea what to choose..

I'm new in here, so i don't know if it's wrong section..

And how about liquid smooth rom? It said that it has good performance and smooth..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom540:
No one can tell you what ROM to try, look in the development threads and try any that appeal to you. If you don't like them try another one, but each device reacts differently and each user likes different things - no one can tell you what to try. Also, best ROM threads aren't allowed, its disrespectful to the devs :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
Just try some different ones and stick with the one you like best. For the most part, performance will be about equal between them. It is gonna boil down to taste.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xmaster8:
1. New here or not you should already know to read and post this in Q&A section.

2. We can tell you our recomendations what to use but final decision is up to you. So try more roms and see which one suits you best and use that one.

3. Navigate to general section. There are good thread that explain everything (rooting/flashing/restoring...)

EDIT: To all others who commented in here saying wrong section... It wont help making a post about it. Report the thead for moving and case closed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ApriliaM3:
We don't allow these type of threads here for a very simple reason.

All you are going to achieve is a thread full of people's opinions equivalent to the amount of available ROMs... so what's the point?

My suggestion? Look through the Development thread and perhaps even look for ROM threads rated 5 stars (not always accurate but it's a start)

Then go through the features / bug list etc., choose 3 or 4 ROMs and try each one for a few days and make your own decision.

Thread moved and closed.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Spankatron3651:
Just do it

You will be fine as long as you follow the steps. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] E3SYLER:
When I hold the power button down on my gear it just keeps rebooting it never showed recovery mode and what Odin version are you using b/c I don't see AP in Odin to select it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mrnovanova:
When you see the word reboot on it you have to tap the button quickly like 5 or 6 times and that'll take you to the options select recovery by pressing the button again and hold for 3 seconds no more no less it can be tricky.

I see the firmware d/l in this thread and will do that later on today. So can we use this update on the USA GG or is it region specific? Also how do we update the GG Manager software on my GN3? I cannot find the stupid Samsung App store on my GN3. Thanks again.

People say you can.

I am Canadian run MII too, but I think tonight I will go for the Null ROM.

Null ROM contains the latest UK build all notifications work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] E3SYLER:
Yes you can. I was on the same thing(got mine at best buy) and used the UK version which apply to all the US versions it does not matter if you get it from sprint or att it's the same. The update is a lot better.

Resync the Gear watch and now I have the additional apps list to choose from to get notifications. Got the Gmail working with title and email information showing in the Gear.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Runamuck0870:
This isn't working for me.

First step...press and hold GEAR power button until Reboot appears....FINE, THIS WORKS

Continue press until appear selection of Continue/Download/Recovery.....THIS NEVER HAPPENS.

In my case, continuing to press the power button just causes the GG to go into a "Rebooting..." continuous loop, trying over and over and over to reboot. If I take my finger off the power button, it goes into reboot and comes right back to powered on state.

How are you guys getting the Gear into Continue/Download/Recovery mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Sblackmagics:
hey sorry to bug you but where is the official uk file i need to update the watch...and i just download odin for pc correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] highlordkram:
The post above #29 has the link for file between the two pictures shown. Yes, use Odin on PC, instructions have been posted at top of his post, good luck, and have fun.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 67srbell:
I had the same issue. Again, HOLD the power button down which will reboot the gear (not just restart) and then when it says, 'rebooting,' continually press the power button until it takes you to the see the continue/download/recovery screen.

Once there, press the power button to highlight and select, 'download' and then press and hold the power button again for ONLY 3 SECONDS or so (holding any longer will reboot the gear again).

Hope that this helps. I'm a Noob and even I got it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 67srbell:
Also, when we say, 'continually press' the power button, we mean press it repeatedly and not just hold it down.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Runamuck0870:
Ah, to me "continually press" means to press-and-hold. In fact, you must continually press and depress the button several times in rapid succession to get it to work.

Got it working now. Thanks. Still mad that even with the UK update my Exchange notifications are broken. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 67srbell:
Did you get the UK update working, though?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Runamuck0870:
Yes, it was easy once I got past the download part.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ksujace:
This worked very easily on my US version of the GG
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] highlordkram:
Side load the stock email app; 4.4 I believe, and use it for Exchange account, and notifications work again.

yes! SUCCESS! one down and one to go. I forgot to charge it... little tricky to get into DL mode, hold for 3 sec then release...

Thanks to all of you

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you for sharing your knowledge and providing the support you do. I am in so many ways not technical but feel comfortable knowing that if I screw something up one of you will be able to help me.

Since the Exchange problem was fixed in the latest GM release I finally got the nerve to updating my US Gear to the UK firmware using Odin 3.09. This was the first attempt I had a using Odin or flashing a own ROM so as you can expect there was some concern about screwing something up. The instructions and links on this site made it easy and the process worked on the first attempt. I guess I will now move into sideloading and doing all the other fun and creative things you all do to get more out of your phones and watch.

btw, I saw a post that someone else said it worked for him and he was 47 years old. I am 57.......

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrPitiful:
Hi folks,

since yesterday I am the proud owner of a new Xperia Tablet Z, version SGP312 (the wifi version with 32GB).

After reading a lot in this forum about the latest 4.2 firmware with phone GUI I would like to stay with the 4.1 firmware that is currently installed on my tablet but update it to the latest 4.1 firmware out there which is the 10.1.1.A.1.307.

Unfortunately, I can't find the 10.1.1.A.1.307 firmware for the SGP312 tablet version as an .FTF file anywhere.

Does anyone of you have this firmware installed and is able to provide the above mentioned file or does anyone know where I could possibly find it in the depths of the Internet?

Any help is much appreciated.

Kind regards to everyone.
[Android Apps and Games] nickmartens1980:
I just updated my n7 to 4.4 (OTA), and the one thing I was looking forward to seeing was not there, the launcher with the transparent bars.

So I thought I'd build it from source from AOSP. After some fiddling with dependencies and protoc, it worked out just fine.

Everything seems to be working just right. I am not taking any credit for this, just want all nexus owners that deserve the choice not to use the stock launcher, to have that choice.

Get it from Google play or download the apk from my dropbox.

Note that the play store thinks it is not compatible with the nexus 7. I am working on that, it works fine on my n7 2012.

I have done the obvious like <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false"/> but that's the only thing I am running into right now

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bryson:
Ok, lets try this lot first:

goto the wireless manager screen, and select the wifi tab, this should fire up wifi.....then hit settings bottom right hand side of wirless manager screen.

Hit wireless LAN settings and it should bring up the Wireless LAN Status screen.

At the bottom left hand corner of screen there should a small image of a PDA, hit that, and it will take you to the Configure wireless Networks screen, and in there, if a Newtork (hotpsot as you say) is detected, you should be able to hold your Styli on the detected network and click Connect.

Make sure on this screen also that it is set to ALL AVAILABLE networks to access. You should now be online if you are in a hotspot and have paid to connect up etc.

If that fails, look to the right of the Wirelss tab at bottom, there should be a Newtork Adapters tab, Hit that.

See what you have 'My network connects me to:' drop down box and select internet, NOT work.

Give this a go and let me know if succesful, I hope so!

Bryson
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] magpie2000k:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bryson:
yeah, thats what I think it will be, if you get a chance bob into a hotpsot in a starbu$ks or simlilar and give it a whirl to see if that is the case, you should hook straight up to them and be taken to their 'pay me loads of money screen for 1hrs web access' when you fire up I.E !!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dalelane:
I think you are referring to BT Openzone - a public network of wifi hotspots at sites like McDonalds, Wetherspoons bars, etc

I used to use it with my old PDA so my knowledge is quite out of date, but when I used it, I had to sign up BT first, giving them a bank account details for billing. In return you get a username and password to get access to their network. I was then billed monthly - at a rate of 50p a minute, using the time I entered my username/password to the time I returned to btopenzone.com to logoff.

It was okay for the occasional quick dip online, but it was too pricey for extended use.

Like I say, my knowledge is very old, so do check btopenzone.com for their latest prices. But if its anything like it used to be, I'd stick with GPRS if I were you.
