Apex launcher force close on 4.2
So sad man, all my home screen setup gone.
Nova works OK though.

MX player not working.

The split notifications tray sucks.
Being a right handed person, naturally I would swipe down at the right side of the screen to bring down the notification tray. But now it brings down the downright useless quick setting tray. Its not even quick settings. Its just a short cut to enter settings.

But the good thing is, the recent app is very fast now.
Swipe away something and the icons fall down very fast. Great!

The animations are a bit polished.

Will ota update work if I am on stock 4.1.2 but rooted with cwm installed?

If you have cwm already, download the update and flash using cwm la.

Easy job:-)

Try the nexus 7 today. I notice the screen is  washed out when looking at the home screen but the contrast improve when i open chrome browser and watch pictures from there. Why? Is it because of the prism? I read somewhere that the screen is actually good but the manufacturer did something to retain battery life.

Right after you see a video, the color super washed out for about 20 seconds. It will gradually restore back to normal contrast within the time frame

i have a problem here.

last time i register a credit card in google wallet to get the 25usd credit.
successfully got it, and remove the credit card from my wallet.
use the credit until left 0.03USD only.

now i want to register my own debit card, but cant register because i cant select malaysia. it assumes i'm in US.

i tried to change address but it says cant change cos i still got google balance.

what can i do? i cant spend the 3sen USD, no apps are that cheap.
and i cant register my debit card :-(

help? i checked the first page, the FAQ is for people who's google wallet account suspended. doesnt seem related to my prob.

actually i really dont get why need a name list..i've been through a number of those owners thread type of forum and I dont see the benefit of having the list..other than to tell people that you own that device...and maybe a sense of pride..but other than that..nothing..
*
I think is to show that the device has many users.
If the device you own has many people using it, kinda feel proud a bit. Haha.

See the optimus 4X tread by lg fanatic herojack, kesian, i don't think will have more than 10 users.

It also helps new users to see how popular a device is.

this has been reported many times on xda. I don't think it has anything to do with hardware, fingers crossed for that.

and no, I have no cracked apps installed on any of my devices. for the record, I didn't face this when I was on 4.1.2 but after updating to 4.2 via OTA update, this issue arises. I'll be getting my 32GB unit perhaps this week so I could try having 4.2 tested out on a totally new hardware but for now just collecting info regarding this, cause maybe incompatible background apps could cause this so anyone's facing the same issue could share what's running on ur N7 and what not..
*
Many people report? I don't have such issue in any rom, stock or custom. And any Android version also no random reboot.

U do a factory reset, or re flash the stock Image n setup again La. Maybe a bad flash. Or faulty update.

Anyone else experiencing any of the problems listed here since they updated to 4.2?
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/11/19/an...newest-release/

For me, it's the Bluetooth streaming speed.
*
Wow so many issues?

I don't experience any so far.
I'm surprised about the auto brightness issue.
Mine is complete opposite.

I always rely on auto brightness. Lazy to keep setting it.
In stock 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 and custom roms, my auto brightness works partially only. Once I wake the screen, it will adjust accordingly. But if I go into another environment, it won't adjust, i need to lock and unlock only it will adjust accordingly to the environment. One thing that bugs me. I used to think I have a hardware issue. But it's minor so I never complain.

In 4.2 it really adjust on the fly. Use my hand to cover the sensor beside the camera and within 5 seconds it dims the screen. Remove my hand and It brightens back. Really satisfied.

My Bluetooth file transfer works just fine.

No random reboot or charging problems since day one I got my tablet.

Apart from the troublesome steps to upgrade to 4.2, and the bloody split notification tray, it's working well for me.

Just confirm the December bug. Funny how they could make such mistake. Haha.

Everybody have their own poison preference I guess. But here's my full experience with these segment of people.

I recently attended a wedding of someone close. At the dinner, I was seated next to the VIP table. The bride and bridegroom already hired 2 professional photographers with their assistants to cover the event. Whenever there's a ceremony ( speech, open bottle, yamseng etc ), there'll be a bunch of people rushing forward to take pictures, including the hired photographers. There are some sensible amateurs that stood aside while the professionals do their job, but some just hogged the sweet spots. Dah la they're blocking the view, then they slowly waited for their camera app to load up, focus then shoot. And shoot again. And again. There were 3 particular iPad photographers I particularly disliked as they act completely oblivious to the fact the device they're holding are blocking the view from other guests, video cameras, and the actual photographers.

My question is this.
There are other compact devices, why iPad?
Pros are covering the event, why interfere?
Other people wants to experience the view, don't you think you're being selfish by blocking it? ( damn video takers )
*
My mom don't have smartphone.
I bought her ipad3.

The ipad is pretty much her only camera. That she can share to fb, check with her friends etc.

Before,
Hei mom, u wan ipad? It's nice.
Mom: no son, it's too advance for me.

I bought anyway and it's her best friend now. And she really enjoy taking pictures wit it.

The ipad 3 camera is REALLY REALLY good.
And you can instantly review it at the big screen.
It's really a nice point and shoot for my mom.
She finds the digi cam a bit confusing and slow.

I don't think it's wrong or weird to use tablet for photo taking.
But it does looks incredibly silly to take self portrait in public with tablet. haha.

Sorry for long winded post. Kinda feel a bit but hurt because my mom is one of the annoying people in your post that snaps pics wit ipad during weddings and birthdays. I'll tell her not to get in the way of the pro photographers. ;-) sorry...

you can do a new factory image flash, flash the 4.2 image.
do a clean install, then root it, and restore only user apps in titanium backup.

mine i flash 4.1.2 image, then flash the 4.2 update package in cwm.
still working perfectly without random restart.

crying here solves nothing, try the step above and start clean.

i think samsung devices have the app built in, for nexus devices like nexus 7 u need 3rd party wifi direct app for it to work...so both devices need to have the same app (just search for wifi direct in play store to get it..)
*
i am really keen to get wifi direct working. i have most of my media in my phone, and it will be great if i can send them to nexus7 quickly.

thanks for letting me know i need app for wifi direct,
i search in play store, tried
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...e=search_result
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...e=search_result

but both also dont work, which app you use?

yeah! wifi direct working!!

use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...udius.WiFiShoot

but its quite mafan also la.
since the free version only allow send 1 file at a time, and only for pics and video.

my main purpose of using wifi direct is want to send lots of pics to view on nexus 7.

so the workaround is zip all the pics, rename the zip to jpg.
use app to transfer, and unzip in nexus7.

troublesome? but faster and less hassle than usb on the go transfer.


wifi direct working seamlessly in samsung device. and galaxy nexus during ICS times. duno whats wrong with google. going backwards.

guys i have notice a weird issue/bug on nexus 7. i'm not sure wether it exist before or not. but its definitely there now, easy to replicate everytime.

its the Youtube app.
usually the progress bar is grey, red color is the part that has been viewed, and the lighter color is the buffered/cached part.
you guys get what i mean right? see screen shot below of previous youtube app
user posted image


if i seek the video during playback anywhere between the buffered location, its suppose to play instantly since its already downloaded.
but mine always reload again. doesnt happen on my phone youtube app though. so strange.
its annoying when i watch youtube, there's a part of the story i didnt' hear clearly, so i rewind back few secs, and the video load from scratch again from that point, so frustrating.
