... Amazing really. A couple posts above someone mentioned the nexus 7 has 4.4. Now suddenly the tegra chipset is the problem again. It is htc not releasing sources for **** sake people. Its no wonder we dont achieve anything as a whole.

We have thomy a great dev but his hands are tied without sources. We would be rockin cm11 for sure by now

2011 Sony Ericsson Xperia Devices Taste Android 4.4 KitKat

Also xperia devices not have code from sony but the developers have only complicated by the codes and are 4.4 ///I'm with 3.8.0 kernel jb !!!
[HTC One X] audahadi:
It not just kernel source I think...because it seem LG optimus 4x hd where have same chipset as us already have kit kat. Please let our dev focus on bringing stable 4.3 first.
[HTC One X] Thant:
We don't need 4.3 the changes between 4.2.2.and 4.3 is to small we need the new 4.4 directly
[HTC One X] blackbuffalo:
One X seem be dead. Miui discontinued support for porting HOX on official site of Miui
[HTC One X] marcosilver2000:
Why not make a petition to get HTC releasing the kernel source code? I've already tell them on twitter to stop violating GPL
[HTC One X] and313:
Or we will go with the old kernels if we want cm11. This could also happen
[HTC One X] marcosilver2000:
Yeah, you're right, but this doesn't make any sense.

HTC have to release the source so the dev can work on it!

Damn you HTC, I'm glad you're failing.
[HTC One X] Lloir:
Have you done ROM development on a new android release for a device?
[HTC One X] and313:
No. Im just saying what the devs said. Waiting for sources :)
[HTC One X] yossi2010:
The Motorola defy doesn't even have an open bootloader they use a software trick called 2ndinit to boot into a custom recovery.

I bet they don't have kernel source either yet they have come from 2.1 until 4.4 with a mere gingerbread base.

How comes can't we do the same trick?
[HTC One X] and313:
Because as said devs are waiting for sources which means they want to use the new one because they are more updated as the old ones which means more customization. Something in that way. Nothing stays in the way using a old kernel though. But when new sources are released they need to port it again. Something in that way again :)

So nobody wants to work for free double time... Which is normal i guess
[HTC One X] .K':
Some time ago I read that HTC got no other choice besides releasing kernel source because of some legal stuff.

Is this true? If it is it's just a matter of time and we will definitely get the new kernel source and 4.4

Also we could use this argument to force HTC to release the source faster.
[HTC One X] and313:
We have passed the land of arguments very long ago and now we are in the land of get a lawyer and a looot of money or forget about it
[HTC One X] Stevemeister:
Maybe you guys should flood HTC's social media channels with kernel source requests.

It's really rediculous they haven't release 4.2.2 kernel sources yet.

I know OEM's really dislike negative attention via social media so that's probably the best way.

Hi, my AT&T HOX has unlock bootloader, S-OFF and CID CWS_001 , HBOOT-1.14.0002 , RADIO-0.19as.32.09.11_2 and it's rooted. I also have CWM v5.8.3.1 and I have stock AT&T 4.0.4 ICS. I would like to update through this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2423735 . Is there something I should change in my device so I don't brick it?

I get a lot of group text messages. they come in as mms so my data has to be on to receive them. I don't ever get a message if my data is off.

is there a way to set up textra to turn data on and receive the message and then turn it off right after? like to save some battery life by not having data on all the time.

I am on loserskaters 4.3 official ota.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
I use an app called 3G Watchdog to turn my data on / off manually. Regardless of the name it also works with 4G/LTE. The app has a widget for desktop toggling of data and a second widget that reports your data usage to you, in case you are on a limited data plan like I was.

I am currently on stock, rooted 4.1.2. SGS3. I used it with 4.1.1 on this phone. Also worked on SGS Captivate on stock GB and CM9, that was 3G and less, no LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Prufta:
Theres a couple of apps that you can tell them to turn the app or apps at a time or moment or the day, turn data on/off, etc... One example is Tasker.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tyrantsbane:
Not what I had in mind...

I guess I wasn't that clear.

What I am wondering is if there is a way to have data off, but if you get an MMS request from ATT, the Textra (or even the stock app) would turn data on to receive it, and then turn it back off when it is done.

Could of sworn I had something like this working on Slimbean or Task's AOKP. But I left those to come back to TW for reliability .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
I'm running dirty unicorns 4.0 and it has that feature built in, at least with the stock messaging app. I leave my data off, but if i send or recieve an mms, data turns on long enough to send or download the attachment, then immediately turns itself back off. I love this feature!! ;)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomatot-:
Hi guys.

I have some problems with my recovery, here is my story.

I was running last TWRP, and while doing an update of my favorite ROM, the installation was stuck at fomatting system... I tried to reboot several times and nothing to do it couldn't work.

So I installed (in a dirty way) CWM to try it. Formatting seemed to work and it's still working (or at least it's written that the operation is done) BUT when I want to update my ROM and when the script needs at the beginning to format system, it's stuck for several minutes. Sometimes it works only after 3 or 4 times (or maybe it's because I don't wait enough) and so then everything works out but I've got a message like "the error was system", can't remember sorry, if you need what is exactly written I'll tell you.

So why should I do ?

Thanks.

Hope you understood me, my english kinda sucks..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrman:
I think your best bet at this point would be flashing the factory images and starting fresh. I don't use twrp myself, but for what I've read here, it's best to let it finish what it's doing and not reboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomatot-:
Well when it's endless I can't let him finish I guess...

I don't know why system image would change anything because it has nothing to do with recovery. Maybe you meant stock recovery and then put back CWM ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomatot-:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelomen:
Same thing happened to me. In fact posted a similar post earlier. I used the nexus recovery tool once to get back to stock and that worked but erased everything on my phone.

Did it one other time successfully flashed one rom and then some thing happened but this time I had a backup in twrp and was able to restore that.

The only thing now is my battery won't charge past 77%.

Yeah that is a great how to but I've already rooted and unlocked phone. I understand how to flash roms, I have at least 10 android devices in my home that I flash roms to.

Hi!

I've broken my I9100 screen so I've ordered a replacement one from eBay (with frame). After I've assembled it I thought everything was perfect, but after few minutes I've noticed that back button randomly registers touches that didn't happen. Because of that whatever app I'm using get killed.

Later today I've noticed that back button registers touch only when cell data is being transmitted. I've placed my phone near my speakers and whenever I can "hear the data transfer" (you know those weird sounds) I see that back button is constantly being pressed.

I've also written small android app that counts number of times that back button is touched and it just confirmed when my phone is using mobile data, back button gets randomly "touched".

Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? Could it be that I've assembled something wrongly? Or is the item that I've ordered (display + buttons + frame) malfunctioning?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lirong:
I started out loving this device, but am increasingly so disappointed in it. At this point I would certainly not recommend it to anyone who wants to use it as a media device.

First there is the volume issue, which I have found inexcusable. If you want to use this to watch Google Play Movies when traveling, its basically useless. The volume through headsets is so low that I cant follow the dialogue of a movie when I am sitting on an airplane, and thats WITH good quality noise cancelling headphones.

I have basically been able to address this problem by buying an external amplifier for my headphone that gets me to an acceptable volume, but in my opinion its ridiculous that you would need to do this in order to get to a basic level of usability in that scenario. Certainly not an issue with iPads (not that I own one!).

Now the KitKat update. Ever since then the video playback is poor. It stutters frequently, and while its still consumable, its not a very good experience. Ive also had two crashes while watching videos over the last few days It noticeably stutters and jumps - I think this has been reported on and it seems it has not yet been fixed. I am looking for a way to downgrade back to JellyBean in the meantime.

Has anyone done this yet?

Thanks. Sorry for the rant, but Im so disillusioned in what I initially thought was such a great device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobtexas:
That's odd, because I'm not experiencing any of those issues. I use a Bluetooth headset (Plantronics), and the volumes are great - I can't turn it up all the way without it hurting. I stream to ChromeCast with my 7 and there are zero issues with Google Movies, NetFlix, YouTube, etc. Sorry to hear you're having problems, but maybe it's a hardware issue?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew.golby:
Me too - no issues from my side. Really does sound like the hardware is at fault.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lirong:
Thanks for the replies guys. Im glad to hear you arent having those issues...however they are pretty well documented.

If you google something like "nexus 7 movie playback volume low" you will see many, many people with this issue. So I dont know if its a hardware issue thats somewhat widespread, or maybe you have better hearing and are less affected...but for me and those other users, if you try to watch a Google Play Movie through headsets and there is any ambient noise, the volume is not usable.

For a while people were fixing this with volume booster apps, but those dont work on recent updates to the OS...

The video playback issue has also been very well documented since the KitKat upgrade.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevil:
I just get little pixelations on the screen mostly when changing the orientation.

What about the volume through other media apps? Crackle is free if you dont have netflix or HULU.

An issue I have is that the screen never rotates, but when it magically does it gets stuck in whichever orientation it landed in. I also notice graphical glitches but only during the boot sequence just before the animation.

Go and search for Volume Control+ on Google Market. This will give you full control on your volume settings, as some apps change the volume to a low level and you'll not be able to restore it to the full level with the device's hardware buttons.

And when you are busy at Google's Market Place, don't forget to search for an alternate video player like VLC player or MX player. Forget about the preinstalled players, it's crap in my opinion.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
The volume seems OK to me although to be honest I haven't experienced it in an environment such as a plane. Have you tried another set of headphones as a test?

The issues I have noticed myself are quite minor is the glitch in the boot animation, which had been mentioned and also when hitting back to come out of an app it will go back to another app and then to the desktop rather than straight to the desktop. I think this is multi tasking related but it isn't as if I am opening a link from one app to another which can happen normally sometimes.

I believe that apps like Volume Control+ no longer work with the new versions of Android (not just KitKat, even the last 4.2.2 version).

Regarding alternative video players...they cant play movies I download from Google Play can they?

Thanks I will try it.

I am most interested in something that can boost the volume through headsets when I watch downloaded videos from Play store on Google Play Video. Its currently atrocious and my understanding is that the volume booster apps arent effective for this.

I Know there are some mods I can make if I root and install custom kernel...sadly I dont have the time to start mucking about there!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lirong:
Am I trying the correct app? I tried Volume Control + by Coffeebreak Apps (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cb.volumePlus).

This doesnt seem to be a volume booster app at all, just a way to control the volume settings of your device without using the hard buttons, and setting default profiles when you do something like plug in a headset.

Am I missing something? It doesnt seem like ti will increase the volume beyond the highest level I can manually set it to with the buttons.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nakedtruthishere:
This is the correct App. It´s not a booster, but gives you control of the settings, another app may have left on a lower volume level.

Check out every app running on your device, especially those having "equalizer" settings. Try to turn them off and see what happens.

If the problem still persists, this may be a general issue of either the volume of Google´s videos, of your earphones or even your ears. Have you been trying other earphones, resp. in-earphones before? I assure, the volume level is ear-splitting high on my device.

Some apps like MX-Player and VLC will ask you, if it shall boost volume above the recommended level. Did you see this prompt? Did you deny or agree?
