[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] klepto:
I'm looking to install real linux distro with full desktop applications on my Nexus 7 2013.

Ubuntu touch is not there yet and I have MultiRom installed.

I know there some great distros for the old Nexus 7 but I haven't seen much for the recent version.

Thanks,

I need all the help I can get!

Hello everyone

I have LG p705

android 4.0.3

version v10e

3.0.8-perf

I followed a tutorial and managed to root the device hoping to be able to install my applications on the externl card.

I have partitioned my sd card then I used Link2sd, foldermount and AppMgr III and other tools but I always receive a message: External card does not exist or emulated or the device does not support..

Is there a solution please?

Thanks
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoaPillo851:
I've got p700, I'm sorry but we can't, the reason is that our phone "emulates" the external memory card with the 2gb of the internal space, lg made this, we can't change this.

You can only try to move games data file on the sd, I've seen some guides but I've not tried them, so I don't know if they're work.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmanxirtam:
I have E610 (L5) and it emulates internal memory, but when I partitioned my sdcard (first partition has EXT4 file type) I can move apps with link2sd app - option link2sd (app2sd doesn't work beacouse of emulated internal memory - phisycally it's also sdcard, but builded in phone)

Hey guys

I am considering getting the G3 and theres about £50 difference between 32 and 16gb version, is the 3gb/32gb actually worth it? Seen some tests and the difference was hardly noticable...anybody has any experience with both versions and could compare?

Thanks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
I don't have the link handy but a review was done with both versions, and the benchmarks were nearly the same. With microsd support, I'd see no reason just for another 1gb of ram personally.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
Every android phone I've ever had from 256kb to 2gb has eventually needed more memory. More memory means you can run more, cache more and be future proof. If your only keeping the phone for a year, then 2gb will probably be fine, if keeping for 2 years then I would get the 3gb version
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg420:
Not exactly sure what 50 euros is in usd but if it's any where from 50-100 it's well worth it imo, especially since you get a sdcard & ram upgrade.

2gb ram has been the flagship standard for a while now, my HTC one gets pretty close to full ram usage at some points. More ram guarantees smooth performance for heavy usage as well as future proof specs, and don't forget the g3 has that qhd resolution and once higher (than 1080p) resolution videos become more common you'll be glad you went with the extra ram.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cez10:
well the 16gb version, not sure what batch is it and where is it imported from(assuming Korea) goes for 1950 PLN = 373.8150 GBP according to google while the 32gb version which is imported from Korea goes for 2250 PLN = 431.3250 GBP so yeah not a big difference but still.

The thing is that I dont really play games on a mobile, most of the time I would just use it for browsing, mail, facebook, gps/maps, apps and camera damn, decisions decisions...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misiokicio:
Well i never had the choice... Only 16gb was available in UK. I would defo spend another 50 quid to get extra storage... You're planning to spend a lot of money already so extra 300pln is not that bad isn't?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szqnl:
Personally I would just save the money and buy the 16gb and get a massive SD Card instead. I doubt there is any noticeable difference in performance unless you have a gizillion apps open at the same time. In fact I remember reading an article where an LG employee says the phone is optimised to run on 2GB RAM.

The only reason I can think of to get the 32GB version is if you do not plan on getting an SD Card, then the extra storage is definately worth it. And maybe resale value will be higher...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsie41:
I think the extra on board storage is, now, very important as, in the up to date google builds, moving app data to sd is very restricted.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Protagoras:
Unless you root...

But even so, internal storage is better than SD card for many reason (ease of use, speed)

I picked the 32GB from Germany, very happy I did so.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiyeon90:
Get the one with 3gb ram, I can't believe they are still releasing phones with 2gb ram.

I have a Z1 and since I started using a custom launcher whenever I have some apps open and press the home button the homescreen redraws and it's not nearly as quick as before.

Also some apps don't stay cached when I reopen them.

The G3 with its massive resolution should eat even more ram.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cez10:
I've just read a review here http://pclab.pl/art58419-7.html where they've tested the 2gb version and said it lags a lot, the CPU and GPU gets hot a lot, that it would be better if there was full HD than QHD, that the screen dims weirdly and that the screen gets this weird sharpening effect....

christ I dont know what to do :/ z2 is nice but it has a lot of issues, one's camera isnt good enough these days, g3 3gb is probably most future proof but the more I read about it the more doubts I get...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szqnl:
True, guess it depends on what you use your phone for. I don't do any gaming so the app data space isn't that large.

If the difference in price is ok then it makes sense to get the 32GB I suppose. Here in Singapore, only the 32GB version is available and only S$755 sim-free which is relatively cheap for a new flagship phone.

I'm still deciding whether to get this or the G2 which is only S$520 now!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lasorey:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willem1975:
G3 the 16 or 32 GB

Hi,

I have got both phones at the moment (Model D855) and I would strongly suggest you spend the the extra few bucks on tthe 32GB phone. Not as much for the ROM but for the RAM. Today I have installed the same apps on both phobes after rooting them and installing TWRP recovery and the difference is very obvious especially when having several apps open in the background. Although many phones could do perefctly with the amount of RAM the 16 GB model offers, I think there is a difference in this phonbes screen specs. This fabulous screen asks a lot of capacity which I think is the reason the 16 GB version gets very leggy. It's better if you reboot every now and then but I recon you'd get very anoyed at having to do that 3 times a day.

The price difference is big enough to go for the 16 GB version. You'll most prbably regret in a few months.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamesz2:
I have the 2 GB version no problem

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterismos:
I have the 16g d855 my phone now runs at 300mb free ram i bought it for 380 euro and the 32gb was for 500+ so the difference was big. So if you have that money go for 32 a test on youtube on benchmarking both versions shows that 32gb is 5-7% faster and the results proofs that.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wilco_sg:
Hi all,

I have done up a RIL wrapper in .NET for the purpose of extracting CELL ID etc. It works fine, callbacks and stuff like that. The idea is to get a .NET library to work on all devices without the need to extract RIL.LIB from each individual device.

It is reporting normal events like incoming calls/sms etc. However, it does not report 0x40000009 notifications, 0x40000009 translates to CELL ID info.

The same code when ported over to eVC++ works just fine. I have done days of tracing and can now describe the problem clearly.

CASE 1: Working solution

------------------------

For things to work properly, inside .NET, I must p/invoke a eVC function that calls all these ***together***:

1. RIL_Initialize

2. RIL_ATCommandLogging

3. RIL_DevSpecific(24)

4. RIL_DevSpecific(26)

If I do this, the .NET callback works fine and receives 0x40000009 notifications.

CASE 2: Non-working solution

-----------------------------

If inside .NET, I p/invoke a eVC function that calls only

1. RIL_Initialize

then p/invoke another eVC function that calls

1. RIL_ATCommandLogging

2. RIL_DevSpecific(24)

3. RIL_DevSpecific(26)

The .NET callback can receive calls/sms notifcations, but not 0x40000009!!!

CASE 2: Non-working solution

-----------------------------

Inside .NET, I p/invoke these functions directly from RIL.DLL

1. RIL_Initialize

2. RIL_ATCommandLogging

3. RIL_DevSpecific(24)

4. RIL_DevSpecific(26)

The .NET callback can receive calls/sms notifcations, but not 0x40000009!!!

In all cases, RIL_ATCommandLogging and RIL_DevSpecific do not return errors, callbacks can return many notifications, even 0x40000005, but simply just not 0x40000009. And yes, RIL_Initialize has been called with 0xffffffff notification class.

I suspect that RIL_DevSpecific(26) is not communicating with RIL, but yet, it returns no errors. Any one faced this before?

Regards,

wilco_sg

**Really sorry if I shouldn't have asked a question here, but wherever I try to post it, it pops up with a message saying it's not a Q&A forum, but I can't see where I should put it, plus the answer would be really useful to others I should imagine**

Hi

Just over a week ago I released my first Android app, I made an ad supported free version, and a paid version with no ads in it.

Since having a look around the settings in my Google Merchant account, I discovered a section about setting tax rates for my apps.

I have been through the hassle of getting the rates for each country I want my apps sold in.

I am wondering whether that was the correct thing to do, I have seen things on various forums saying I don't need to collect VAT unless I earn over £81,000 (I'm in the UK btw, and I'd be quite happy to make £100), others have said only put in the tax rate for the country which I'm selling from, others have said input for every country selling to.

I'm confused as to which I should have done.

Also, I saw that it said that Google will take the VAT off the gross price, then take their 30% off the net price, they will then pass on the gross price minus their cut, e.g.:

if app is £1

UK VAT is 20% so £1 minus 20% is £0.80

Google will take 30% of the £0.80, so this would be £0.24

They will then pass on the gross price minus their cut, so pass on £0.76

The way I read that I have £0.20 which is VAT sitting in my bank account, am I supposed to pay this in somehow, even if I'm not VAT registered, do I have to do that for every country around the world that I sell my apps to? And can I pay it all to the UK government or do I have to pay each relevant government their cut?

It's only a 69p app, I'm an unknown, I don't expect it to make huge amounts of money, I just wanted to learn and see how far I could get, might even look good on my CV, but the "paperwork" side of getting this thing up and running has been a headache.

For a multi billion dollar company, I think Google have done a really bad job of trying to encourage people that aren't part of large companies to develop apps, Apple deal with it all for you!

Don't worry about the amount of free RAM you have. Android is designed to use the maximum RAM available to it. Task killer apps may have been useful in Gingerbread but are unnecessary in Jellybean and later versions.For more info read this and this.

Greenify is all you need. If you're rooted and have Xposed even better, you can even make some apps stay in memory so that they won't be killed off.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrimalMK:
Hi xda!

I recently got a HTC One from a friend, as my old phone was worn out. It turned out he had rooted it, tampered with it, the whole nine yards. I was not told he had rooted it, so I accepted a prompt asking me to update the phone to what I believe was 4.4.2, KitKat. I now realize that should not have been done. When the phone restarted it went to the HTC startup logo, into a kind of blue screen (not the BSOD), the Google logo flashed on the screen for 0.5 seconds, and then it got stuck on this weird blue/turqoise screen. Nothing happened.

I called my friend, he told me he rooted it etc., and that I should try a factory reset, and if that didn't work, complete reset (including the system folder wipe). That obviously didn't work, but I didn't know any better as I have never touched a rooted phone in my life, and I'm thus a complete noob when it comes to terminology, what steps to take and so on.

Now I have a phone with no OS, stuck at the HTC logo when I start it normally, and all I can do is boot up into bootloader. I can also access TWRP. I have installed HTC Sync on my laptop, but the phone is not detected properly (meaning, the "device connected" sound is played, and I can find "Android device" in device manager, but the HTC Sync can't find the phone) when connected through a USB. It is not the USB that came with the phone. I also installed Squabbi's HTC One toolkit, which basically is the one-click interface of pushing revone etc. to the phone. Problem is, "error, device not detected".

I've browsed around for a good six hours without any luck, other than that I've started to understand how this is all connected.

Phone is

*TAMPERED*

*UNLOCKED*

M7_UL

S-ON

OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202

I pray to the mighty tech gods of xda to help me out. I looked for similar threads, couldn't find any that were simple and similar enough for me to understand. I must admit I'm very keen to learn this, so if someone know of any place where basic terminology is explained, I'd really appreciate that. Other than that, a step by step instruction on how to proceed from this cluster**** would also be highly appreciated (what I need installed on my laptop, where I can find ROM's, what flashing means etc.).
