[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SinisterSHO:
So my phone has started having random issues. Running stock rooted 4.3 and have only flashed an LTE enabler.

This morning I received a text, but when I tried to read it, I got an error that messaging had stopped. I hit okay, error came back when I tried to read the message again, it did this several times before I rebooted the phone with quick boot. A little later in the day, same problem with maps. Then I made a phone call and when I hung up, the system ui stopped. Had to power down phone.

I also noticed last night while trying to charge it in my car, it didn't seem too be connected. The charging text on the lock screen was like flickering. I thought it was the charging cable or USB lighter adapter. Grabbed a charger and appeared to be working, but was noticing the same problem with the charger.

Anyone heard of this before? Are they related? Haven't download anything recently, but maybe something updates? Not sure what direction to go to try too fix.

I have this same issue and mine happens sometimes while its charging I found out. Basically all the Google apps stop working including settings now I can access any other app just not the Google apps. The only fix is to reboot the phone. I wish my phone was still rooted so I could use logcat and hopefully catch whatever is causing this.

Stock rom not rooted or anything

In the UK on 3's ultrafast network

Been getting the message all evening and dosent seem to make any difference if im on my home wifi or mobile network

If i go to the categories it seems to load those fine, just seems to be when i try to search for an app - all i get is 'connection timed out'

Anyone any ideas?

thanks

I think it's a play store issue. The same thing is happening to me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
At least its not just me then

Funny how it seems to load all the categories ok though but just will not let you search for an app

Seems ok also if you go to paid/free apps section select an app and you can download and install from there fine, just no search

Also seems a little slow to load anything to me also

Hi all, I hope I am asking this in the correct place.

I have just installed CM10.1 on my Nook HD+ and all appears to be going well.

I am now wondering how I can install apps I have purchased from Barnes & Noble to my tablet? I have the Nook app but it only shows books and magazines, not apps. And when I go into my B&N library online, there is no option to download the apps.

Thank you.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opasha:
From what i know and remember about the Note 2, it's the framework-res.apk - look for statusbar.png, statusbar.9.png etc etc and statusbar.xml (for text color location/alteration). I haven't had a chance to open up the Note 3 files because we can't flash anything yet on the AT&T Note 3. I'm also too lazy to download a theme file just to look for random things since there's no point for me to do so yet. Nonetheless, good luck for whatever you're trying to do :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
With all of them's hardware slightly out of date, I'd go for the Nexus 4 for continued support after maybe 3 years. Other devices die earlier.

Sent from Samsung Captivate Glide @ CM10.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
Nexus 4 only has 6 months of updates left before google drops support, you only get 18 months of updates with any new nexus.I would go for nexus 5 as its still cheap enough an will last you longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I heard the Note 2 is really sought after and has a good dev community with lots of activity.

The N4 probably received its last update with 4.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
...Provided that he has the luck to snatch one. (N5 sold out fast)

As for support... 4.4 won't be the last for N4, 5.0 (or whatever it'd be named) will be. (Google's 6-month system update interval falls right in line with N4's remaining lifetime). Plus, by using a Qualcomm APQ8064 chipset (codes are more open-sourced than Exynos, and mostly compatible with N5's Snapdragon 800), N4 should be able to get ports and development easily even after its lifecycle.

Note2 is a competent and worthy phone, but I hate it for its stupidly large screen and Exynos CPU.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vickmacky:
I'll also say the Nexus 4 for sheer flash simplicity and high number of available ROMs. Done may day it's outdated but heck, I'm running a Gnex :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
N5 wasn't in his list of options. I agree the Notes size are ridiculous but I've heard they are awesome all around. The N4 supposedly has a horrible camera and battery. I didn't think the N4 was a good upgrade when I had my GNex, and still don't think it is, especially toward the end end of its cycle.

The N4 is probably the best option for a few unofficial updates but I don't think it'll see anything fancy. Maybe 4.4.1.

Tough call. I don't know about the Sony either. Heard they were good. I'd stay away from the Optimus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
I don't see how nexus 5 wasn't one of his options as it only costs $349 an has LTE as well as gsm.I agree it might be harder to get one considering it launched not that long ago but why would you buy a new nexus 4 at only $100 less when its only got 6 months left before its put out to slaughter like the gnex.You will be wanting to upgrade yet again when you could have been sitting pretty all along on a N5, an extra $100 is well worth an extra 12 months of updates compared the the N4 life expentency as well as being on the bleeding edge of technology with the N5.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
He may not be in an area that sells them for that price. Whatever his reasoning, he didn't list it.

His best option would be a N5. Or perhaps he's on Verizon and in contract.

For me it's the Xperia Z1S

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sveex:
I would start looking for a device in case the Gnexus dies. IMO no point of newer devices with huge screens and weak batteries (such as n5).

Gnexus is still a good phone when you got roms like purity or liquidsmooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
Cash and availability matters. (Is Z1S available now? Will it be carrier-adopted?)

Put these two issues aside and I want it, just not as eagerly as a Nexus 5 (because I think that Z1S will get much less support/ROMs than Z1 - see the relationship between Z and ZL for reference).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
I've notice while flashing carbon, dirty unicorns, and pa among other aosp ROMs

That charging seemed to be slow for me. So I wanted to investigate..

I grabbed an apk called galaxy charger light https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free

And when I refreshed it while plugged in to the wall charger, it said the max was 400. That's like USB currents. So I used devil kernel, and inside the latest devil tools, there is a charging control tab. I changed the options like I have here in this screenshot.

Then when testing my current with that galaxy charging app, it now says my current is 2000. And my phone is charging super fast now like it used to. ...And I thought my cable was bad lol.

so if you're charging is slow, try that app out and test it and see what your current is... if its 1800 or 2000 then that's good, if its 400 or similar, then you're charging very slow.

Also, I'm charging at 1500 through USB when it used to be only 475. Kind of like 'fast charge'

****But be careful. I've only tested this out for a couple days. So far no problems but change the charging control in devil tools at your own risk.****

please close this mods

and only change the USB control if needed. (I've heard something about "fast charge" messes up USB ports on pcs when charging that high but idk if that's true or not. I've only read that once and I forgot my sources)

You want the 'max' to be around 2000.

Before this devil kernel tweak, I had a max of 500 within the galaxy charging app. This was on stock carbon and dirty unicorns. Now my max is 2000 and its definitely noticeable. now my phone even charges while playing a graphic intensive game.

after doing some reading, this may be just too dangerous and damaging to the battery that its not worth it. please check the link by saboture and this shouldnt really be needed. i guess tw doesnt charge at 2000 constantly either so it cant be good. was def only trying to help but i dont want to steer ppl in the wrong direction. :o

Hope this helps somebody that has slow charging problems. I know I did and it has helped so much.

Thank you, -cue:)

EDIT: this may be an isolated incident for me. anyway, you can check your max current with the aforementioned app and see if its happening to you before any changes need to be made. ;)

Don't let your phone end up under the pillow on charge while you're asleep, it'll overheat like crazy at that current. I leave mine on 1200

Good warning folks. Like I said, ive only tested this for a couple days so I'm glad your warnings are close to the op. I will edit it to stress the voltage warnings. Thanks! I haven't noticed heat that's why I've kept it. Will def watch it now. But I thought 2000 was equivalent to 2 amps which I thought our phone charged at originally. Obviously I don't have that much knowledge of electrical.. Better I learned from folks like you guys before I burned my face off lol

... unless the warning only pertains to USB charging. That I was weary of.. But nevertheless... Does make sense that it would wear the battery out though if it was too much that the phone can handle.

Was I the only one experiencing400? That is so low!! my phone was dying while texting and charging.. not right . never did that pre 4.3

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Define "originally"

For who knows what reason, the Note 2 and other Sammy device ship with a 2000mAh 5V rated charger brick...but the TWiz software gimps the charger by throttling it way back to only 500mAh. Which is just downright stupid moronic. People on Note3 are amazed by how fast it charges, because Sammy has removed the software limiter in the stock ROM, and now the 2A charger actually charges closer to something resembling the charger rating.

As far as wearing out your battery, all rechargeable batteries wear out after a certain number of charge/discharge cycles. So long as heat doesn't become to high it isn't a worry. I've been using 1200mAh+ saoftware charging since kernels came out that allowed it. Still on my original battery.

Now regarding slow charging, another culprit that can do this is a crapped out USB cable. Try a different known good USB cable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
well i thought it charged at 1800-2000 originally on TW Stock. but testing now, its fluctuates around 400 to 700 on stock tw. but 1686 is the 'max' listed on that app. my 4.3 aosp roms were just staying at 400 and 400 was max prior to me using this tweak through the kernel. but is was very noticeable that i was charging slower than normal. will try a new cable today. thanks for your input.

Curious issue with my recently flashed to 4.4 Nexus 7 (I used Nexus Root Toolkit to unlock and root, as well to flash the 4.4 image).

I haven't noticed any issues and this issue may be completely unrelated but the Play Store seems to be giving me some issues. I can browse the Play Store, its apps, games, books, my apps, etc. but I cannot search. When I search for an app, I receive a No Connection - Retry error message. I am most definitely connected to the internet, as I said, I can browse the play store, install apps, games, books, etc., but whenever I try and search for an app... I get the error.

Thoughts on the issue?

Hi there. I also have this problem. I have narrowed it down to MX player or chrome video player (also same issue with headphones + video). When you play a few movies and exit MX player, "OK Google" will not respond to voice commands. The only fix is to reboot your phone. I have tested this today. I played a few movies after i made sure "OK Google" was working fine and sure enough, the feature stopped working immediately after i played a couple of movies. Sometimes it will not get affected, but most of the time MX player or the integrated Chrome video player will break this function. I would like someone else to confirm this, thanks.

ps; Just tested my theory again after a phone reboot and now it seems to work fine... I have no idea wtf is going on with this feature, but when it breaks, even the search bar stops working. The whole thing just stops functioning - speech , search just stops working.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotleadsingerguy:
Sort of. I've had a few things happen like this in the past, and I've realized there's always been a reason (sometimes it's changing settings in Android Wear that pertain to Voice support, sometimes it's switching the voice stuff on on my iPhone 6, sometimes it's changing my Google password, etc...).

The way I've always been able to fix it is just to log out of Google Now and log back in. It says it'll lose things, but it doesn't at all. Takes ~15 seconds, and it's always fixed all of my voice issues, including the one listed above and the other one where it recognizes everything and opens the Google Search...but then everything is blank.

I went into the shutdown mode to charge it for an hour or so and managed to get it on.

The battery was at 2%. I decided to do a factory reset while the device was plugged in but now it's become stuck on the Erasing screen. Its been there for a few hours now. I've tried restarting but it just goes back to the Erasing screen. I've also tried booting into recovery but it just goes straight to the "Erasing..." screen again.

When I press power and vol up on the Erasing screen it tells me "Formatting /data...." in small yellow writing but like I say its been like it for hours.

Any advice? device is completely stock, not rooted or anything.
