New to nexus 7

Came home from work to my new nexus 7! I gotta say opening the box was a pain in the ass but well worth the patience. Overall I have to admit I am very impressed with this device, incredibly fast and truly "buttery" smooth. Jelly bean is incredible and this is my first "pure" android experience and so far so good. At first I was concerned about the quality of the display and the "washed" out look but contrary to what everyone thinks I happen to think it looks great! And fortunately I am very grateful that my n7 doesn't have the screen displacement that everyone has been talking about. And I really didn't want to go through the trouble of returning mine to Google play and waiting for another one lol. I come from a family that absolutely loves apple phones, laptops, and ipads. I'm sort of an android junkie and love the freedom that comes with it, with that being said I figure this would make a perfect first tablet for me to own and after extensive use of my families ipads In my personal opinion I have to say that the n7 is superior in many ways. Great tablet, specs, and price! So kudos to Asus and Google for bringing this bad boy to the market!

Yeh, just opened mine yesterday and love it! The first time opening the box was fine was easy for me. But I put the documents back in the box. When I tried to open it to read hem, it was really hard. Overall it is a great tablet. Can't wait to root!

Mine is actually quite easy to open now that I've taken the tablet out of the box lol. Yes! I cannot wait to root this either!

I'd recommend unlocking the bootloader right now, because it wipes all your user data.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

+1 for unlocking now. I waited a couple of days and it was a pain doing the usual backup routine.

I blanked out and didn't unlock it when I got it. What I'm gonna do is root it do a nandroid backup then unlock and restore.

Yeah I still haven't gotten around to rooting or unlocking yet... This thing is amazing I can't put it down lol. Is the root toolkit compatible with the latest update 4.1.1? Haven't updated yet but it keeps asking me every single time I power it on

Yup! Wubfreshes toolkit is compatible with 4.1.1. I agree I really can't put it down, a steal for $249!

Can you install a custom recovery to do a nandroid backup with the bootloader locked?

I'm pretty sure that your nandroid will get wiped as well with the boot loader unlock

If you could make a nandroid backup, copying the file to a computer for storage would allow you to wipe the tablet and then copy the file back and restore.

Thats what I was going to do

I'm right there with you. I was nervous after reading the negative reviews, but I've had mine 2 weeks and no problems. I also come from a long line of Apple lovers and cant wait to show off all the "buttery" goodness of this fine device.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

Making a nandroid didn't even cross my mind when I did it, I wouldn't worry..... anyways, don't you need an unlocked bootloader or root to install a recovery to make a nandroid? Just my thoughts, I ,might be wrong.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

On mine I did a simple adb backup and restore. Took about an hour including set up(never done it before) and it was a painless way to keep all apps and app data as well as settings. Anyone looking to unlock and not have to deal with losing app data should Google it and check out out.

Gonna root first, do a nandroid and titanium back up move the files onto my desktop unlock then move them over and restore

You needed to be unlocked to root. I just unlocked my boot loader, no problem. To do a backup, use the backup for apps in wugfresh's toolkit, you don't need root to do it.

Literally can't stop playing with this thing! However I have to send it back to Google for a replacement I have several dead pixels and the touchscreen has started bugging out on me. It goes from not registering my touch to randomly pressing apps. Already contacted Google for my RMA for, shipping label, and new replacement ready for order. Hopefully the new one will be defect free lol

Preparing to sell my Cap. Question on personal data.

I've had this phone since October, but I decided to upgrade to a Skyrocket i727. I flashed this to CM10.1 back in May, and a guy from down the street wants it with the current ROM I have installed. However, I'm a bit concerned about the personal data on it. Should I do a full flash to stock, then reflash CM? Or will I be able to accomplish the same thing by going to: Settings>Backup & reset>Factory data reset. I want to be able to hand him the phone and it be as if I just flashed CM10.1.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

If it were me, I would flash back to stock, root and install CM. Let him do the Google Set Up.
Unless you just need the the money...... I kept my Cappy when I upgraded. I unlocked it and use it as a backup phone and a multi media player.

I considered this, but I'm trying to help him out. I went to high school with his wife. He dunked his iPhone in the pool. Thought an Android might turn him from the dark side!

you can do a secure DOD wipe before factory reset. there are apps on google play for this. uninstall all your user apps, except the secure wipe tool. delete your google and email profiles. then run the secure wipe when rooted. do a factory reset.
should do it.
Sent via Monty Pythons Flying Circus

Everything you need to do is to move all your files on SD card or PC and do Factory Reset. All personal data will be erased, including Google accounts.

Thanks for all the tips guys!

Slow GPS positioning.

I don't know if it's just my handset that has this issue. If it's an issue at all.
My GPS takes forever to find my actual location. Leaving central London yesterday on the M4 the GPS around 25 minutes to find where I was. It isn't really acceptable to be quite honest.
Is there an issue or is it a handset fault solely affecting me?

My GPS locates my position in a couple of seconds.
Have you tried the GPS Test on service menu?

Done. It took nearly an hour to find a signal. But it found one... I don't understand. If the hardware is working why isn't the signal being detected in a normal time frame.

Nope outside in the open. No power lines or anything in the way.
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4.

Have you tried reflashing a stock rom. And see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, you probably have some tweak or module doing stuff to the gps.
If the problems still there it could be your carrier or a faulty device.

Flashed back already. Several times. I haven't got any tweaks or changes going on, the only reason I rooted was to rid myself of the bloat.
This is really annoying me, if I have got another crop handset off Sony I will definitely be going back to HTC phones.

Are you removing fast dormancy? For some carriers it's needed.

I think so. I have basically now gone down the route of stopping the phone cutting any process off for any reason. Still the issue persists though.

this is just a wild guess, but worth a shot.
try redownloading the stock rom, check md5 and be sure to make a clean install.
try download "FasterGPS" from playstore, to get the time from a ntp server near you, to avoid wrong time for the fix due to delay on a long travel from the ntp package

Removing At&t Bloat

So I have used titanium back up and some other bloat removers but every time I remove the At&t carp it never actually leaves. Some developers say failed others say it worked but there still there. Any help would be nice!

Had the same issue with TB so I used "android tweaker" cuz it's got a ton of mods on the free version including the bravia 3 mod for the screen, wipes dalvick, tons of performance adjustments and battery saving modes (there's some cool 1click settings for battery or performance if the app is too confusing) AND of course it'll remove those stubborn bloatware apps. Be careful though and make a backup of everything you're gonna delete so you don't end up sorry

Employee returned phone

I received my LG phone back but it's locked and the disgruntled employee smashed the screen. I'm an note3 owner so I'm clueless to the LG Android platform. What are my best options here? I'm considering replacing the screen myself as I've done before on phones but to get into the phone and everything is not an option I assume.

Wow! What happened? Why did the screen get smashed? I would freaking say something.... you shouldn't have to fix it.
If need be, you can pop the back cover off with a guitar pick, or similar. Its just like a Samsung once you get inside. Remove the battery, remove the rear housing, remove the motherboard, vibrator, antennae, etc.

Yeah I've replaced screens before. Suggestions on cheapest place to order one? Local place wants 160 bucks to replace it lol

Untold? I fired the person for theft of fuel. Some cannot be trusted with a monitored fuel card I guess. Especially when the card is tied to a certain vehicle and they have to use a unique pin at the pump. My 160 out of pocket to repair a phone is chump change when it's a few hundred dollars of fuel

And there it is. Had this happen at my place of employment. Said person was ultimately fired for a 2$ charge. Giving employees G2s to use, nice boss... Lol

Maybe it"s a factor to some, but idc if it's 2 dollars or 2000, cant stand a thief. I can understand the not bothering part as well, if you ever recover the price it will have cost you even more. Some former employee's of mine thought being the boss makes you rich so you wont notice, both are usually idiotic ideas. Why they think i owe them but they owe me nothing is beyond me.

god, until that explanation, i sat here reading this thread as if you sent your phone back to LG to get something fixed, and then an LG employee was disgruntled, broke the screen, and sent it back to you like that.
i'm sure many others read the story the same way, dude..lol you have to be more descriptive..that's why people are all, "you shouldn't have to pay for this, make them pay for it!" as in, make LG pay for something they did.
but obviously now we understand the situation

I was thinking the same exact thing - except that it was a disgruntled Verizon employee who was the culprit.

Never put it past VZW to send out a warranty replacement with issues lol
Once I get this fixed I may use an upgrade from another line to use the g2 as a spare for myself. Are they locked bootloader like my note 3?

i believe so, but there's a loki exploit or something..i forget, i haven't rooted or done any of this since september lol

I recently rooted mine, ran a few roms but made the mistake of wiping data on my stock recovery and soft bricked. Was able to go all the way back to 4.2.2. Then 2 updates later here I am lol.
Rooting and fixing are very simple at this stage.
