[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeep447:
Ok first I just want to say that this little rant that I'm about to have is not meant to slap you or anything, so try not to take too much offense if possible.. Seriously though I just hate to see someone talk about how a device is disappointing and that they wouldn't recommend it, when really what they should be saying is that the factory software for the device is disappointing. I know you said that you don't have time to "muck" around with rooting and such, and in my opinion the problems you are having are basically "what you get" whenever you just settle for what is handed to you. It's almost like taking the "free" phone because you don't want to spend the money to get a better one, and then getting upset because it can't play the newest games or run the newest apps. I definitely understand that when you buy something it should basically work, but with Android you're dealing with one operating system and thousands of different devices. So because of that if you go into it expecting perfection right out of the gate, more than likely you're probably going to be disappointed. The trade off however (which unfortunately is the part that you don't have time to mess with), is that you're most certainly not "stuck" with what you are handed. You can make this thing so loud that you can't stand it if you wanted to, and because of that the fact that it doesn't just come that way out of the box is technically irrelevant imo. I'd be willing to bet the time it would take you to get the basics down so you can have full control over your device, would actually be less than the time you spend being frustrated because it's not working the way you expect it to. Anyway that's just my two cents because I think you are missing out on the very best part of Android.. which is that it can be whatever you want it to be. :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lirong:
I dont take offense, however I also dont agree with a couple of your assertions.

First of all, clearly with any device (especially Android) a lot of it is what you do with your device after unpacking it. That said, certain basic use cases should be functional out of the box. Using this device as a media player while on the road is CLEARLY a primary anticipated use case. And the fact that there are volume challenges here is not isolated. It may be the case that not everyone has this issue, but certainly a quick google search reveals that many, many people are having issues with being able to hear Google Play movies when in a travel environment with any ambient noise. You can point out that someone who wants to root and mod their device can solve this problem...nevertheless, this is a product flaw. Period.

Second, I dont agree with your point of view on rooting and modding the device. Yes you can apply yourself to it and accomplish things. I have rooted all of my devices and have put custom ROMs on some of them. And the community here is very helpful in making this accessible and supporting people through the process. However, its not a straightforward thing to do. I have yet to install a custom ROM that hasnt had some "side effects" that then take a lot of time trying to diagnose. For every improvement, even when you get everything technically right (and there is a time consuming learning curve), there are quirky behaviors that are hard to diagnose, even for the experts on this site, as every phone is different.

So yes you can achieve some really cool things and its part of the allure of Android. But it comes with real costs, and those costs (in my opinion) may be worthwhile in some instances, but are not something you should have to bear just to get basic, minimally acceptable functionality for a primary use case of the device.

Anyway...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JCred:
The N7 was heavily marketed as a media consumption device and a solid gamer (including a game(s) designed specifically to showcase the Tegra 3's 4 (and 1/2) cores and GPU horsepower... On a chip made by Nvidia... which implies an enhanced level of credibility and expectation from a company that is synonymous with Graphics.

You should not have to root a device with four 1.3Ghz cores, nor be concerned about obsolescence for playback of local or steamed video on a 7-inch screen @ 1280x800 max resolution. I root every device I own, but it shouldn't be a requirement for the primary use-cases for which the device is designed and marketed. Additionally, over-clocking the CPU as high as 1.7Ghz doesn't yield improvement, nor does GPU OC, different governors, etc... As a bonus, performance craters with age due to the cheap NAND. I can under clock my 1080p LG e980 to 1Ghz, disable two-cores and it still runs laps around my N7...

For the price, the N7 was a good value. However, it falls short of the marketed high-performance (which, BTW, didn't include any disclaimer(s) that device must be rooted and running an unofficial AOSPA kang/kennel combo). It's one thing to suggest root/ROM/kernel solutions for problems which require such a solution, but there's no need to condescend to someone for not voiding their warranty to solve a problem that shouldn't exist.

P.S. Netflix doesn't stream aka mirror to Chromecast- The N7 just informs the Chromecast of the workload it's handing off.

I just bought the note today and I can't find apps like gmail and hangouts in the apps drawer.

I can only start them from play store or from notifications if I vet a message for example. I can also start them from the " multitasking menu". How can I get the device to show these apps like the others?

[General Accessories] joehood:
I've just bought the fab iTech BlueBAND set of bluetooth headphones, and have got them working with my JAM with the new BT stack plugin.

The quality is a bit dodgy though...

I know the popup message says it's streaming at 192Kb/s, but while most of my songs are encoded at 160Kb/s (which sounds relatively great on wired headphones), the higher frequencies in particular have a lot of static-like distortion through the headset. It's not unlistenable, but not really that good either. It is digital after all! So I'd expect it to either play perfectly or cut out completely.

Does anyone know if there are any reg settings to fix this? Or does anyone else use the same or other headsets and experience distortion?

Please let me know,

Cheers,

Joe
[General Accessories] Cynagen:
Your issue is not limited to the phone, it appears to be an input clipping issue with the BT A2DP input. It's touchy.

Right now, I'm listening to 192kbps mp3s out of my computer with a Macsense BT-100 (Class 2, v1.2, USB2.0) running the BlueSoleil 1.6 BT stack, and a pair of the new Moto HT820s, and I get that "crunchy" high end like you're describing (or at least what I think you're describing). The only way I've found to correct this, is to lower the actual input to the BT. Not sure how you can go about that with your setup offhand, but with Windows it's just tweaking the Wave volume down a little bit.

Hope this info has been of some usage to you or anyone else having this issue. Oh and I was having the issue with the HT820s and a co-worker's Bluetake BT009x (Another Class 2, v1.2, USB2.0). Again, resolution was turning down the Wave on them, and I was all set to go.

Just a fun off-topic sidenote: The HT820s with a BT adapter running the BlueSoleil stack, allows control of winamp's next track, previous track, pause, and play functions using the right earpeice's multifunction and skip buttons.

EDIT: Wave @ 50% and the crunchy sound is gone except where expected with clipping from far far too much audio being mashed together.
[General Accessories] joehood:
Thanks for your idea, looks like we need to just find a way to lower the output volume from the streaming software to the headset.

Does anyone know if this is possible through a regedit or anything?

I'm also looking for a program that will toggle the 'stream audio to bluetooth headset' in the stack extension. Then I could create a shortcut to it for wisbar desktop like with the CicleBT program.

I'm aware that viJay has made software that does this for WM5 but not for the magician's cambridge A2DP extension.

Hope that made sense!
[General Accessories] vijay555:
Send me over a copy of the software/stack and I'll try to look into it, if you've got it at hand.

[General Accessories] Cynagen:
Good news...

I switched BT adapters, I got my ISSC adapter in the mail today and have been putzing around with it at work and at home, and found this out. It works great, has great distance (I got 30m out of it with a wall between myself and it, and it's only marked for 10, while the CSR adapter that I had before was marked at 20, and couldn't even go that far without breaking up to almost nothing in line of sight.), and isn't crunchy with the high-end on the audio! Maybe you can check your XDA and see what chipset it uses, and possibly opt for an ISSC based one instead of CSR-based? Better yet, i'm going to start a new thread asking people to post up the chipsets in their XDAs and other BT devices so I can compile a list of chipsets and how well they work with certain data-intensive protocols such as A2DP and File Transfer.

More info: CSR stands for Cambride Silicon Radio, and ISSC stands for Integrated System Solution Corp.
[General Accessories] joehood:
That's interesting!

I've managed to get about 15m distance with line of sight between my Jam and iTech headset, but only about 8m with walls and floor between them.

I suppose this tells us that it's either the chipset itself or the coding of the stack that is affecting the quality/volume and causing the clipping.

As I use Wisbar Desktop I didn't like permanently having the notification icon displayed so i renamed the btAVPgui (cant remember exact name of the exe) in the windows directory to get rid of that popup interface. Now I just turn the streaming on and off in bluetooth settings. Hopefully vijay will find a way to create a shortcut for that!
[General Accessories] vijay555:
I'll be looking at it ASAP - still updating old stuff though, but I'm working on some very funky new stuff too, and Mrs Vijay555 is limiting me to 30 mins a night (programming, not other stuff!)

[General Accessories] joehood:
Cool, thanks.

I have some programming knowledge so if there's any pointers you could give me to figure it out myself, please pm me!

[General Accessories] vijay555:
joehood:

What does the screen look like? You said there's a bubble in the bar at the top?

Frankly, the easiest way to tap it would be to use a Mort script. I have one set up to control the volume - just emulate a click on the top bar, eg (180,5) will approximately hit the volume icon (from memory only!). Set this up with a shortcut, and to quote futurama, "Pow".

Forgive the old screenshot, I'm at work:

Icon in claunch near bottom left will click the volume icon and permit use of the dpad to control the volume. No screen taps required.

Could you do the same for your bluetooth?

Either way, a programatic solution would be nicest, but hard work, no doubt. But I'll try to investigate.

V
[General Accessories] joehood:
OK I have the exe that creates that popup notification with the button to enable or disable A2DP streaming depending on its current status. Is there any way I can find out how it's changing the status? I've looked for a registry setting but couldn't find anything. Where else would the setting be stored?
[General Accessories] joehood:
I am amazing I am amazing...............etc

Woohoo!

I've done it!

It was a regkey after all. Found it by looking through the .unload file that CSR create in the windows dir.

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev

Then 'streamOn' is obviously activating streaming

'automute' self-explanitory

and I'm guessing showConnStatus controls the status notification.

Now... is there an easy way to create a programe which toggles the registry value? Please let me know how to programme changing DWORD values.
[General Accessories] vijay555:
joehood: these things aren't usualy just a registry entry, but certainly could be.

I think mortscript can change registry entries. Try that first, and if it does or doesn't work, we can consider writing an app to do the switching if necessary.

V
[General Accessories] Cynagen:
I just got home and wasn't thinking when i wrote the first post, now to edit it and make myself look a lot smarter.

On windows, there is default support for .REG files that integrate into the registry and make changes on the fly based on the contents of the file.

Example:

Filename: ShowConn.reg

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
streamOn=DWORD:00000001
automute=DWORD:00000001
showConnStatus=DWORD:00000001

When this is run, it should set streamOn to on, automute on, and show connection status to on. Make another like this with the name HideConn.reg and change showConnStatus=DWORD:00000001 to DWORD:00000000 and that should turn it off. Just run whichever one, keep them in a folder and keep a shortcut, have fun switchin.
[General Accessories] joehood:
Of course! haha

I did write a little mortscript file for it last night anyway, this one toggles it on or off, but doesn't change the show connection status or automute values. Personally I hide the notifications icon in wisbar because it was permanently there before. I'm using btp_audio_ui again to confirm that files are streaming, but currently have no way of telling the status of A2DP without trying to make a sound.

I didn't bother putting the automute function in because I leave it on permanently, no need to have both sound sources really.

I'm getting VS2005 so I can have a play, will try to design a bluetooth manager program which has large fancy buttons for turning on/off the most useful functions.

The more we can get these things performing like real phones the better!

Next step: to find out how to play WMV audio through A2DP!
[General Accessories] vijay555:
joehood: are the registry changes dynamic? Ie, when you incorporate your defined registry settings, the streaming/mute etc happens immediately?

V
[General Accessories] joehood:
yep!
[General Accessories] vijay555:
Cool. I guess I can build them into VJVolubilis as well if you want.

If you've got a bunch of them together, PM them over.

[General Accessories] q-biq:
Can anyone send me a bt stack with stereo support, recived my plantronics 590a today. Thanks
[General Accessories] Cynagen:
Oy...

Get BlueSoleil, make a new thread or search the forums next time though. I'm almost ready with my thread I hope to get Stickied with info on the software and chipsets for bluetooth.
[General Accessories] q-biq:
So what you are sayin is that BlueSoleil works with WM5 to get stereo or what?
[General Accessories] Cynagen:
By WM5 you mean what? Anything that will support DirectSound can output to the BT stack in BlueSoleil, and if the player only does wave ouput, then let's hope you have windows audio turned on or you're not going to hear anything. But yes, that's exactly what i'm saying, any player on any windows, using directsound, or any player on any windows with the windows audio service installed and turned on, all NT series have these turned on by default or you wouldn't hear the pretty windows noises, and for mobiles, i don't know what you have, but there's a BlueSoleil BT stack for mobiles as well, so you can use that and it should support A2DP if your chipset supports it.
[General Accessories] q-biq:
Hum, can anyone confirm this on the Universal?
[General Accessories] Cynagen:
If it's got some Windows based OS, including CE, then BlueSoleil has a build for it.
[General Accessories] Alknaion:
can i ask what this setting exactly do ? thx

Hello,

I just purchased a AT&T LG G2 and None of the WiFi or USB Tethering Apps that I have tried from the Google Play store work on the phone.

Is this a problem with this AT&T LG G2 phone or is there a way to get tethering to work. I am not technically inclined, just a phone user.

I would gladly pay someone to help me get WiFi or USB tethering to work on my phone.

In OC, CA
[AT&T LG G2] Casey060492:
Have you rooted your device yet? If not, then I don't know of any way to get it working.

If you are rooted, I was able to change a sql database value to unlock tethering (as I am unlocked on T-Mobile on a D800).
[AT&T LG G2] coalsi:
Hey Casey, I have the same device, looking to unlock tethering on T-Mobile as well, can you explain what you did?
[AT&T LG G2] kimtyson:
OP-

If you haven't rooted or done anything to the phone then take it to the ATT store and have them look into it. It may just be a bad phone. Warranty return it.

If you have rooted (and your wifi worked before) then do what I did. Install AEON v3 in the ATT Dev thread. The tether works perfectly, just like the entire ROM. I take another step though. I use ibVPN so they don't know what my data is. I don't really think you even need a VPN because the ROM is not based on the ATT base, so it isn't even looking for your tether.
[AT&T LG G2] Casey060492:
I used SQLite to modify the file: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

In the system database there is an entry with ID: 2771, named tether_entitlement_check_state. Originally the value was set to 5 but I changed it to 0. I then rebooted and tethering was working great for me.
[AT&T LG G2] James7Bond007:
I just checked on my Sprint G2 and, unfortunately, there's so such setting in that DB. I looked at the other tables in the settings.db and only "tether_dun_required" (set to 1) in global and "tethering_time" (set to 600000) in system.
[AT&T LG G2] raikol:
You will either have to pay AT&T for tethering or root your phone and install a custom rom. They have a tether entitlement check on their phones.

[AT&T LG G2] bigpappa:
Any chance setting tether dun required to "0" might help? Id.check myself but im still waiting on zv8 update before I root.
[AT&T LG G2] James7Bond007:
I'm guessing this wouldn't do the trick, as dun is "dial up networking" I believe. I'd test it, but I'm actually unsure of how to *change* the database. It turns out sqlite generally doesn't come on production (non-dev) builds of Android, so it wasn't on the G2. I tried pushing some sqlite3 binaries I found online to the phone, but none would run. I then tried pulling the settings.db from the phone and reading it with sqlite3 for Windows. This would also let me change the setting, but I'm not sure if I could just push the settings.db file back onto the phone since there were other files in the same directory (settings.db.[some other extensions]) ... and I wanted to avoid corrupting the db to the extent that I bricked my phone (as unlikely as that may have been).

If anyone knows of a sqlite3 binary that will run on the G2, I'd be happy to give the dun setting a try (but again, I'm not optimistic this will do the trick for us Sprint users).

Also, I just got the zv8 update this morning, so you should be getting it any day now. I didn't root my phone 100%; I just copied over the g2_security file from the ioroot 1.1 zip so that adb would give me a root shell. Apparently installing the su binary and superuser.apk trips some sort of flag on the G2 that voids your warranty and may or may not be resettable.
