[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghosta12:
Ive just bought a used Nexus 7 2012 to use as an e-reader, but Ive struck a problem. The screen seems to be oversensitive. Just holding the tablet by the bezel in certain places activates apps on the screen, or when I use as an e-reader turns the page when I dont want it to.. Its rooted, running stock 4.4.4. and otherwise works fine. There is a creaking noise from the case under the area of the bezel where the touch on the bezel activates things. Any suggestions?

Nobody with any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghosta12:
Solution

I've found the solution. I removed the back of the nexus 7 to look at the screws holding the screen on the device and there were two missing under the area where it creked. I've swapped over a screw from the other side of the screen and problem gone! As the device was a used one when I bought it I'm surmising that it has a had an smarter screen replacement at some stage and the screws were lost.

I hope this might help someone else who encounters a similar problem.

I would like to replace the missing screws but they are different from any I can find in old phones....where would I get the right screws?

So I put up my Nexus 5 for sale on craigslist and came across Nexus 4 for not much lower prices than the 5....

What do?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
Because it's still a very competent device and beats most low-mid end smartphones currently available. For example, if you want something cheap, but with good performance, you can get a Moto G for $200USD. Or a Moto G LTE for $220. But you can also get a Nexus 4 off eBay for $220, and it has a faster processor with a better GPU, and 2GB RAM vs 1GB. It's much better than the HTC Desire 510 (Sprint) and 610 (AT&T), Samsung Galaxy Avant (T-Mobile), Galaxy S3 and S4 Mini's (AT&T)...pretty much any phone under $300.

The Snapdragon S4 Pro, S4 Plus, and S600 are all discontinued, so manufacturers are stuck using the S400 with Adreno 305, an inferior SOC to the S4 Pro on the Nexus 4. Antutu Benchmark scores for S400 chip phones get under 18000, while the Nexus 4 will get 24000+ stock.

It's also a a pretty sexy device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Just because it's up there doesn't mean anyone will buy it. I have seen the original G1 on eBay for the same price as a note 3. It's probably still there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
Good point. I haven't searched much on Craigslist for phones, but when I did, I noticed that people had unrealistic expectations for their phones, when compared to eBay or Swappa prices.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylazation:
Well because it's worth it. In lower mid range it beats everything well head to head with moto x on the price but way ahead in specifications. Other then that the size, size is just perfect I can't imagine holding a device bigger then nexus 4 it just doesn't feels right.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mubz_C:
Also it has good developer support as it is a nexus device and is running the latest android version to this date. Much better then any other mid-range device.
[General Questions and Answers] Joe00242:
I have the MOAR s5 port ROM on my sprint note 3. When I turn on cpu monitoring I get 4 different monitors with 5 different cpu speeds in the pull down. Why, are there 4? They, are labeled cpu0- cpu3, each followed by the percentage. What does each one mean? Does anyone wise know?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
It has a quad core processor. Each core is a processor in itself. They're numbered 0-3 because that's the way they do it, instead of 1-4.
[General Questions and Answers] Joe00242:
Ok, that makes a lot more sense. I knew it was a quad core but the 0-3 threw me off. Is any one processor assigned to any specific task, or does the next avail/least taxed processor pick up the next task while the others handle whatever they were already handling?

Thanks for the reply btw!!

[Xposed General] caloneli:
I cant load any module because something is wrong with my framework..pls help me.. It says latest version of framework is not active, i uninstall, install and reboot and problem still here.. Help please
[Xposed General] freak_on:
Yes this is a problem faced by many who are not on ASOP or CM rom. Had your ROM being a STOCK/ASOP/CM this would not be the problem. Workaround: Go to setting and check disable resource hook This will solve your "Framework Not Active Issue" with this you would not able to play with UI and Status Bar, etc. But should able to work with modules which do not make cosmetic changes.

Please pardon my english.

Hope this helps.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] withoutwings:
That freaking gap between the glass and body...

I just sent mine back because of it, hoping it was a fault and that the replacement will be better.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
That is actually the normal gap. The gaps are very small in reality and they are even on all sides of my phone, but look very large with the 200x magnification... :p

Some units do have an excessively large large gap either top or bottom, but that's not the case for mine.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] withoutwings:
Mine was worst around the corners, and one edge was worse than the other... so a bit uneven I guess. What annoyed me the most was the ease at which dust would settle in it.

Well, that gives me hope for at least some improvement!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
Mine has slightly larger gaps at some corners as well. I just have the impression that the outer parts on Sony's newer phones and tablets are fitted less tightly than their older devices. I do know they intentionally need to leave some gap, because removing the glass is the only way to get to the internals with these new unibody devices.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Iruwen:
That may be a reason why the glass eventually breaks easier than on other devices though. Damage to the edges is very critical for hardened glass.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] withoutwings:
Couldn't they just prise the plastic corner edging off to get to it? On my Z1C there is almost no gap between the glass and that edging, so I find it hard to believe it's necessary now. No, it looks like loose manufacturing/quality controls to me, especially when the severity of it varies between devices...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
It doesn't look like it's possible to remove the corners, you can't feel any separation between the corners and the sides, it's as if it's melted together or something.

By the way, the nylon corners don't sit directly against the glass, there is still the plastic rim front and back that goes all around the glass.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] nizarnoor:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] withoutwings:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tricky_tee:
This seems to be a weird issue that I'm having, and I hope I'm not missing a step...

Anytime I install a custom rom past 4.1.2; I get no phone audio. I can load up web pages fine, SMS/MMS works to my knowledge, but there is no phone audio. I'll call my house phone, and it will ring the house phone, but I cannot hear myself through the other line. I've tried flashing radios/modems, different combination of ROMs and kernels, and the only way I'm able to keep an active phone, that is able to make phone calls, is to stick with a stock ROM.

My first thought is maybe it thinks it's an unlocked phone? And that's causing it to act up, but I've never had an issue like this before. Any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
I don't believe the kernal is problem

What is your specific device model?

What have you tried to flash exactly?

Who is your carrier?

Are you flashing clean with all wipes?

Are you letting rom settle?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gil81:
After u answer captemos questions… let me ask u this. You say stock 4.1.2, do u mean you have actually odin'd the stock release from sammy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tricky_tee:
Apologize for the delay - been busy at work. I guess I could've been clearer.

I am using the SGH-i717 on AT&T. By stock, I meant a Touchwiz-based rom (i.e., Padawan JB). I have no problems with making or receiving phone calls. Whenever I flash a ASOP-based rom, (i.e., LiquidSmooth, BeanStalk, etc.) I have intermittent phone issues. The phone issues I'm having is not having audio when making or receiving phone calls. I know that it is actually placing the call, but I cannot hear the person on the other end, nor can they hear me. Now if I go into network operators, and select an operator that I know isn't going to work (i.e, Verizon, or T-Mobile), and then use "Choose Automatically", sometimes that works for a little bit. However, that has been working less and less now.

My process of flashing includes flashing the rom of choice after a full wipe and reset (right now, it's LiquidSmooth 4.4), wiping the cache and dalvik a couple of times, installing Polluti0n's rom patch, wiping cache and dalvik a couple of times, then installing PA Stock 4.4 Gapp, and finishing the whole process by wiping cache and dalvik a few times more. This is all done through gimmeitorilltell's TWRP Recovery 2.8.0.0

As stated before; I have no issues with Touchwiz-Based roms. I can make and receive phone calls with no problems. Also, before I rooted the phone, i updated it through Kies; so I assume that would update it to the latest radio available. That would be my first suspect, but I'm having difficulty finding a flashable radio for the device.

There also might be a step I'm missing, since all my experience previously with rooting and flashing came on CDMA devices, so there was no issues with radios.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dzee206:
first off i would flash the rom like so.

1. Factory Data reset

2. Wipe Cache/Dalvik

3. Format System/Data

4. Install rom from Sdcard

5. Wipe Cache/Dalvik

6.Reboot device

7.boot back into recovery

8.Wipe Cache/Dalvik

9. Flash gapps

10.Wipe Cache/Dalvik

Check to see if all is well once the rom is flashed and only the rom. Seems like over kill but can help narrowing down the issue, but i do agree with you as kies being the culprit I never did use it let alone trust it to update the device. Odin would be a better choice and no need to update the device for the latest radio as we have flashable zips. Blazes ics modem is what I'm currently using and has been great, one last thing I'd recommend is to go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and grab the JB update and flash it via odin if all else fails.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dodgy1:
I experiencing a similar symptom. Intermittently, not one can her me no I can hear anyone. I'm currently on Slimkat 4.4.4 and I have to reboot in order to make the call. Never had this problem when on stock JB 4.1.2.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxgfx:
I'm wondering if anyone else who's encrypted their data partition as per the security settings on your HTC One if you've been able to access the partition in TWRP 2.8.0.2, I keep getting password fails.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
From what I read recovery cant touch an encrypted partition at all. This is why you have to un encrypt the device before flashing a new rom. The main reason that the auto encryption will be disabled by default on custom roms once L release comes out.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxgfx:
Interesting. Haven't read that anywhere at this time. Even if I wanted to decrypt the partition it wouldn't be possible. It's permanent on the HTC One M7. Decryption isn't available on 4.4.3, but that's ok. The only thing that's encrypted is the storage, which doesn't stop me from flashing a rom, kernel, images of any kind since most of the flashing I do, I never leave anything on the data partition.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxgfx:
I did read that HTC uses different crypto keys which aren't AOSP which means recovery suchs as TWRP or CWM won't decrypt. By reading other material on the subject it probably will be possible on future versions.

It's mild annoyance at the moment...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Couldnt say on Sense roms as I have not run a Sense based rom since back on WM 6.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxgfx:
Yeah apparently Sense roms are using a variation of the crypto keys. Which means TWRP standard decrypt keys with proper pwd might not work. Seems like something should be fixed at somepoint for this.

Will have to look into it more on L release or go back to an AOSP rom like CM11 or OmniROM, but that brings a whole can of others problems :)
