Android: Page 75

Hey People, my charging port has steadily become looser over the past month. Sometimes I have to tweak it in order to get my device to start recharging.

I saw they related Carbon for Twitter but I just read they don't have a version that works with the Nexus 7 (or tablets in general).

Suppose I need to roll back my Nexus 7 to 4.1. Basically, I am not thrilled with some of the issues I am having with 4.2.

How do I do this?

I have heard good things TWRP but only used CWM. Any advantages or benefits to using TWRP for recovery instead of CWM?

I need to find an HDMI adapter that will work with the Nexus 7. Any suggestions?

I saw a Google commercial showing off a new type of panorama picture called Photosphere. My phone recently updated but I can't find this feature. Do I need to install soemthing?

I work with a lot of electronic devices but mainly off the shelf electronics hardware. So excuse my ignorance. Why should I root my tablet?

I just rooted my phone, but it seems much choppier than it was before. The screens seem to lag behind. I let it sit for a few hours to "settle" and still the same problem.

I just switched from CM10 to a Touchwiz based rom (FreeGS3) but my battery life is terrible. My Android System usage is always around 70-80%, so I'm pretty sure that's the culprit.

I just found out that my laptop had a key logger application installed. I need to make sure my Nexus 7 is clean of any such snooping. Where do I start and how to I ensure I have been as thorough as possible?

People, I have owned a few tablets and noticed that the Nexus 7 damages a lot easier (and I mean a lot) than any other tablet. My Motorola XOOM is over a year old and it still looks great. My Nexus 7, which is only a few months old, has been easily scratched by what I would consider trivia brushing. Anyway, lesson learned. Don't wait and get immediate protection for your device (despite the high cost of accessories for such an inexpensive device).

Fellas (and Ladies), I am looking for a Nexus 7 car mount that doesn't require me to modify the dash. Any ideas? Thx!

I just flashed AOKP on my phone and love the on screen buttons, but I really don't like have the hardware buttons there. I know I can't remove them or anything, but can I disable them?

I've read through rooting instructions, and I need to flash a .tar file, but the flashing software Odin is only for PC. Is there another root method I can use?

I recently rooted my S3 (finally!), but want to update to the newest TWRP recovery. Right now I have ClockworkMod but I hear that TWRP is better for this phone.

In the spirit of doing a good turn daily I am starting a running list of apps that do not work on the Nexus 7.

My iphone never did this...any ideas?

I need a concise list summarizing the pros and cons of encrypting my Nexus 7. You have my eternal gratitude in advance.

I was just assigned the rotten (I mean wonderful) task of listing the pros and cons for using the Nexus 7 as a "productivity" tool in our office. Anyone else using the Nexus 7 or any other Android tablet in a similar fashion?

My wifi signal seems to be much weaker on my S3 than it was on my last phone. Is there anything I can do to increase that?

Is there a way I can transfer files from my computer to my phone without a cable?

Last night I fell asleep while watching a movie. My battery was already low so I assume the charge ran out. Now, my Nexus 7 will not recharge. What now?!

I just turned on full disk encryption and spent a little over an hour waiting for the process to finish. My wonderful little tablet, which used to be fast, is now moving like a bloated pig. Is this the norm? Any workarounds?

I moved my music from iTunes to my Nexus 7 (via my Google Play Music Manager). However, I can't seem to play any of my music without using my WiFi connection. As you can imagine, this sucks. How do I free myself of this annoying dependency?

I am looking for full screen boot animations. Most of the ones I have found are tiny and I want something that has more of a visual impact. Suggestions?

Obviously Google doesn't expect people to use the camera on the Nexus 7 since I can't seem to find an app on the tablet.

Anyone out there got one? I need one that can operate in the United States and overseas across multiple frequencies.

Awwwww, did the poor little baby brick their brand new Galaxy S3?

I have a nephew heading to college this summer. He is going to be a liberal arts major and plans on writing a lot. Since it is his birthday next month I was debating the merits of buying him a Nexus 7 versus a Chromebook.

Hey, I recently upgraded to Jelly Bean and thought that my battery was the only thing going to take a hit.

For reason's known only to myself I am going to configure my Nexus 7 to run multiple ROMs (side-by-side).

Yeah, I have encountered a few and I am sure you have as well.

Glorious news Brothers and Sisters!

I take a great personal interest in what are classified as "Man In The Middle" (MITM) attacks. First they are one of the hardest forms of surveillance to detect.

Okay, here is a list of useful tips for getting more out of your phone.

Good question. I encourage additional clarifications but here is my opinion of the term.

As much as I love my Samsung Galaxy S3, I'm always on the lookout for cool features I can borrow from other smartphones. One of the most recent "borrowed" features I've added to my S3 is the Galaxy Note 2's smart rotation feature, which uses the front camera to detect my face-to-screen angle, which then rotates my screen accordingly.

Yeah, I know, a forum isn't a dictionary but a shared vocabulary makes things a hell of a lot easier. You know, a vocabulary in which an apple is an apple and an Android isn't an Apple. This includes device specific language, technical terms and of course slang.

I have been trolling WonderHowTo for the past 3 years (actually since I began to root Android and jailbreak iOS smartphones, that is, if you actually consider Apple products to be "smart."). Anyway, I started this forum (and the Samsung Galaxy S3 Forum) because I actually bricked a few devices - which, as you can imagine, really screwed up my day - and wanted a place in which we could share lessons learned (or whatever).
