[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] edwelly:
I am a lurker on this site. I can offer very little knowledge to rooting phones etc. but I thought I would share my experience with the AirDock. I own a Samsung Galaxy S5, the CHOETECH Qi Wireless Charger Kit from Amazon, and a Spigen Slim Armour Case. Everything works fine. S5 charges thru the case with out issue.

When I get the AirDock I quickly realized that A) the AirDock will not charge the phone and B) the AirDock will not hold the phone. I added the magnets to the inside of the Spigen case and that did not help much if at all. I contacted AirDock and was told I needed to put the magnet stickers on the outside of my case. I certainly do not want to do this and I can’t as the sticker will no longer lay flat. The sticker is not designed to be installed more than once.

On their web site is says the best option for the S5 is to use the Samsung replacement back. I ordered the Samsung replacement back from Amazon and even paid overnight shipping as I was excited about using this. This AirDock now charges and it does hold the phone, but nothing like the videos show it. It is not a strong connection at all. I tried it out in my car and it fell off twice while I was driving during lunch. Obviously this is not going to work for me.

I contacted the company and asked for a refund. I was basically told if I didn’t want to put the magnet on the outside of my phone, there is nothing they can do to resolve this and will not refund my purchase. So I had to open a Paypal dispute.

I am disappoint mostly in the fact that the item didn’t work and that the merchant had no desire in helping me. Maybe I have a defective unit - who knows. I would have liked to try another unit, but I don’t think that is possible now.

If you do not have a super smooth phone back or want to add a magnet sticker to your phone, I would suggest you look elsewhere.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] weedahoe:
Hmm..... I definitely do not want to add magnets to the phones case. That would look horrible. My case is big enough as it is. I have a Zero Lemon 10K I don't even use because it makes the device so big. Sure I can go 3-4 days but at the cost of having 5lbs in my pocket which isn't cool so even with my current case, I don't want to make it more bulky. Thanks for the feedback.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] edwelly:
No problem. Glad I could help someone not go through what I am going thru trying to get a refund.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] oilfighter:
I love my Airdock. This is a picture of what a Nexus looks like in my car. I don't run it like this though, normally a Note 3 goes where the Nexus is.

Few things to note. If it's bright outside, Waze will slowly drain the battery, but at night, it'll slowly charge it up. If you don't run Waze, it charges my Note 3 at around 650mAh.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] edwelly:
Doesn't the Note have a super smooth back? The S5 doesn't. And since I added the 'official' back cover as suggested, I can not longer find a case to fit the S5. I really wanted to like this, but I can't afford to have my phone falling down while I am driving.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] oilfighter:
Can't help you with the s5, since I don't have one. The note3's leathery fake plastic backing works really well though. Really really solid.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] edwelly:
UPDATE: the company has said I can return the unit for a refund. Hopefully everything goes smooth.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kisrita:
The magnet is just a sticker. I actually have one on the back of my Nexus 7 and also on the back of a case I sometimes use with it (the sticker on the back does not interfere with fitting into anything). The N7 sticks without it, but I have a Jeep with shocks that need to be replaced and when I drive over railroad tracks fast, sometimes the Nexus 7 can fall so I didn't trust it enough. But no problem no matter how rough i drive since the sticker is added. The sticker is necessary on the back of the case, otherwise it won't stick at all. It still charges through the case, but it's very particular about positioning it just right and in my experience it drains faster than it can charge when using navigation, and would not last on a 5 hour trip. But despite that, this has been by far my favorite dock for any device so far.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] weedahoe:
On the back of my cover in the truck dash I made I have N52 20mm or 25mm magnets I'm using. NO problem holding it at all.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] edwelly:
UPDATE: well... I sent the AirDock back to the company and they have stopped responding to emails. I had to file a PayPal dispute. :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mjones73:
Old thread but the sticker does not have magnets in it, just metal to help it cling to the magnets in the dock. I had to use it on my G2 because my Incipio Featherlite won't stick. I may try some thin metal discs between the plastic back and rubber of the case instead.

I cut the sticker out around the buttons and where the Incipio logo would show.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] chalkyuk:
I also have an s5. I have the genuine iq upgrade with back panel but haven't used it yet. I am looking for an airdock or similar solution. I could live with the sticker but just wondered if there are any other chargers out there like this or is the airdock the best option? Will it alway charge slowly? Ie 500mah. Also any links of where to buy as mobile fun is out of stock. Thanks guys
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kisrita:
Airdock is already working on the next version, it may be better but won't be ready till April or later.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] scott@netmorerealty.org:
Terrible product

Buyer beware. Their customer service is horrible. They specifically emailed me to tell me it would work with the droid turbo and it does not. The phone sticks to the pad fine but does not charge. I repeat: Does not charge. I sent them 2 nice emails asking for support and they have completely ignored me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] matkam:
I've had the Air Dock 2.0 for a few months now. The pad has lost its stickiness and no longer holds my Nexus 5 very well. It is constantly falling off. I've tried contacting them about this and haven't heard anything back yet. I can not recommend getting one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kisrita:
You probably just need to clean it to get the original stickiness back. I'm still using the original airdock with no problems. However there is a noticeable difference between using it with a Nexus 4 vs Nexus 7. The Nexus 4 sticks like glue and I don't seem to need to clean the airdock periodically. This is because of the glass back. The Nexus 7 doesn't stick well enough without the sticker which creates a shiny surface, probably due to the surface and due to the extra size. When I was using the airdock with it I found it necessary to clean the airdock once a week, two weeks tops. Note this isn't limited to the airdock. Many people complained about the wireless charger for the Nexus 4 saying their Nexus 4 slides right off it. Same problem there, in order for it to stick, it needs to be cleaned periodically. I got one of those for free because the original owner thought it wasn't working. Wiping it out down with a lens cleaner restored it and I've been using it ever since without an issue. The airdock is actually much better, much more sticky than the wireless dock that was sold with the Nexus 4.

PS: by lens cleaner, I mean the wet disposable kind, not the dry cloth. Water works too, but your phone will not stick to the airdock while it's wet, it needs to be completely dry.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emilic:
So... after THIS happen to me I would like to discuss the following subject.

Before posting here, I hope you guys have shared your information HERE

Now... you have seen the list of the firmware customization numbers. So what does it means?? what are the firmware differences.

I have tested 2 of "ROMs" or 2 of this firmware customization from zxz0O0 post.

A.- 14.3.A.0.757 Generic UK 1279-4727

B.-14.3.A.0.757 Generic FR 1279-5365

Now personally I used A the first time since I was learning to root my phone... :D

then I used B since it was the original firmware customization that came with my phone.

My initial impression: The APPs are not the same (yeah, I don't really care about that... the less default the apps the faster the phone is)

The second one, is that with A my phone had always network and quite a good one, but with B my phone was struggling to get network signal...

Plus I had never seen LTE or 4g with B... then I screwed up my GSM/WCDMA connection and manage to see that I did actually get LTE connection. :D (I then managed to fix my GSM/WCDMA issue).

Bref ;), so how do we check the differences?? any ideas? mostly of the bands used and power used... or just of the complete firmware diferences?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrivaellobo:
Hi everyone!

Yesterday I unlocked bootloader of my Arc, and now I'd like to flash XUK, but.. I read that phones with bootloader unlocked by Test point method can't be flashed with a .img kernel, only with .ftf. Is that true?

And if is, how can I convert boot.img -> boot.ftf to flash it with flashtool?

Thanks a lot :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
First time I hear this. Definitely false statement.

On side note - Boot.img can not be converted to boot.ftf. Maybe can, but not worth the time and effort.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrivaellobo:
So there's no risk flashing in fastboot on this Arc?

Tomorrow I'll try that.

Thanks a lot again.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
You can't really fail with flashing kernel, as long as you got the command right. If it does return an error in fastboot, post it here and we will find the reason.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrivaellobo:
I tried to enter into fastboot, but the phone starts to charge instead of turn blue the Led. I'm a bit confused with that, because S1 Tool shows:

RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r9A021"

SOFTWARE AID: 0001

LOADER AID: 0001

FLASH ID: "002C/00B3"

LOADER VERSION: "r4A069"

SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE

The small "r" means that bootloader is unlocked.. then, why can't I enter to fastboot?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrivaellobo:
Any help?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Just flash a kernel with fastboot. Post the log if you need more information.

I am not sure, what are you trying to say with S1.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrivaellobo:
I can't enter to fastboot, when I try it, the phone starts to charge, like phones with locked bootloader. That is what confuses me.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Phones with locked bootloaders can enter fastboot mode, but they wouldn't be able to flash a kernel. Flashing would end up with an error.

In your case, the fastboot is disabled then. 12W11 and earlier manufactured phones can have fastboot enabled via testpoint method. Others don't.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrivaellobo:
Mi phone is 11W29, could I enable it?

I'm pretty sure than my bootloader is unlocked, because S1Tool shows a small "r".. I mean, I followed this guide

The guide I followed to unlock it say that:

and my phone is "Loader version: r4A069".

I have not mentioned that I unlocked simlock with NCK code provided by my telephone company before try to unlock bootloader with the testpoint method. Actually I can use any simcard from any company and it works fine, and in theory I unlocked bootloader too.. It's very confusing can't to access to fastboot in my situation.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Which guide did you follow? Using test point method to unlock bootloader should enable fastboot as well.

Test point method would have removed the simlock anyway, could have saved some bucks if you paid for the code.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrivaellobo:
No, I didn't pay for the code. When the contract with the phone company finish, they have to give the code for free.

I don't know, I'll tray again to unlock with test point.

In attached files is the guide I followed, but it's in spanish.

Here's a similar tutorial in english, but in that says phones "unlock allowed: no" cannot be unlocked with testpoint :silly:

Hi.

I have used Timur's Kernel on my Nexus 7 a while in my car.

When I start the car the tablet wake up and when I stop det car the tablet goes to sleepmode. (powersource removed)

Anyway, today I installed Car Home Ultra, and the sleedmode don't work anymore, when I disconnect power nothing happens.

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=spinninghead.carhome

How can I fix this?

I Can se the Car Home Ultra app have a feature that starts and stops the app when connected to a BT device, but i dont have a BT compatible stereo so that is not an option for me.

When the powersource is removed I want the device to go to sleepmode so it will save as much power as possible, maybe alså close all apps.

Also I want the Car Home Ultra app to start when the power is plugged in.
[Nexus 7 General] Evelen:
Maybe i found the ansver.

I have only tested with normal powercable in the house with Car Home Ultra

Is tasker necessary to close apps before sleepmode?

My nexus use about 60% of the battery if it is sleepmode 24h (in the car 7-17 degrees Celsius)

Is that normal?
[Nexus 7 General] furious84:
Sincerelly My is not a fix installation (i use n7 in Car and at home) so i don't know how % battery use in 24h But i try To remain n7 in Car in sleep mode for about 4 hours and lost maybe 2% or less i don t remember. Anyway i know somepeople in the night lost 1-2%/h so i suppose If The lost is regular in 24h are 24-48%.

For tasker You want when Power off The app will Close, uhm Sincerelly without tasker i have not idea how and If is possible.in My case, with tasker work so:

When Power plug and dac usb plug start bt, Then Close PLANE mode start 3g tuneinradio torque and Car home ultra. While start all that i send a messagge To My n4 for start The home for When i am in Car and toggle bt.

When i plug off Power all that will close.

Only thing i don t like is sleep mode start before all things will close, but My task work fine.

Anyway tasker is a fantastic app.

Just got my phone back from the repair shop and I seem to have messed up its ability to be a phone! Managed to restore a nandroid (seems it was still rooted) but the wifi / calls weren't working ...

The CSC code revealed with so I tried CSC changer from the shop and inadvertently made things worse ... I've ended up with a German CSC and can't get it back to BTU! (CSC changer goes through the motions but can't change it back :eek:)

So I thought I'd try to get back to the main problem, this longer 'CSC' number that gets displayed with *#1234# - it shows both my AP and CP as:

1. Make a backup of ur Internal Memory

2. Make a factory reset (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything.)

3. Conect it to Kies 3

4. Kies 3 will give u the info you need for know ur correct CSC. This will be btw parenthesis close CSC.

5. Knowing ur CSC, take a look for this firmware in Sammobile.com

6. Download and flash it with ODIN (Dont flash a "Black EDITION" if ur phone isnt it)

7. Dial *#1234# again and take a look if u have the same what Sammobile was telling you. If not, flash again the firmware. (Example in pic attached)

SO ... thankyou for bearing with me this long! Feel like such an idiot right now. I guess then that some fundamental thing has gotten changed by the ROM I tried then (it was this one ). DOH!

As I understand it, there's no going back now and I'll have to stick with 4.4.2 - please correct me if I'm wrong!
