W/o high battery your screwed, you can't charge it when its bricked your best bet is to go to verizon and get a new battery, and dont put it in til you are able to use rsd, then use rsd to unbrick

SHIITTTTT!!!! I am broke can I put somthing on the SD card. then do the update thing. Should I unplug is there 0% chance?

I don't know if that will work, I would say it will but I doubt it being that I think that the stock recovery checks the signatures of the zips? Im not sure tho. The same exact thing happened to me but I was able to sneak one from verizon by saying that my phone messed up from an update, and he swapped batteries trying to restore, then he gave up and left me the battery with it more than halfway charged. Lol im 17 and without money,just got lucky I know how ya feel. With a low battery no chance. But there is something if you're nifty with wires, ill post the link for ya

Thanks bro, before reading this i desided to take an old wire and see when I could do... haha same a Tut yay. But also I called verizon said my bat. takes 5 hours to charge and dies in 1 hour. They sent me a new one coming wendsday.. hope the wire trick works till then. if not plan b just wait for bat.
or plan C have my brother come over to my house and let me pop my bat. into his phone to charge.
EDIT: YAHHHHHHHHH BABY Battery is charged!

stuck at
Code:
erasing 'userdata'...

[Q] pretty sure it's bricked

i loaded 13.04 on my nexus 7 and i ran out of space and was like 'that doesn't seem right.' so i saw in gparted that i had tons of unformated room...so i went to format it and now the little dude won't turn on....i tried googling and didn't really see anything... btw i tried to boot into recovery with no avail. pressed the power button for like 5 minutes including various combinations with volume - the screen will not turn on. i also tried connecting via adb with no results.
any ideas?

Can you get into fastboot mode instead of recovery? And see if computer picks it up in fast boot mode?

Fastboot is where you need to be. When you flash the os in fastboot, make sure to use the commands given in flash all.sh. Otherwise, you could end up with only 16gb useable on a 32, or 8 on a 16, and so on.

If the n7 is reporting incorrect space due to a bad previous flash, this will not help. It will still only read the formatted space available. Fastboot is the only way to correct the incorrect space issue.

Sometimes, the wrong command can be used during a flash process, and can cause a larger capacity to be seen as a smaller one. There are no grouper releases for 32, 16, or 8 only. It is the same image for all. So, the flashall.sh commands help avoid it from being seen as the wrong size. That way, your 32 is not formatted and installed as a 16.

When you formatted it, it probably also erased the boot loader. In which case, you're screwed.

Another little niggle

Hi
It seems when I charge my n7 fully it will not switch on like it should. Usually I just press the on button briefly and it pops on. However when I charge it fully I have to keep the power button pressed on for about 15 seconds before it will turn on then it acts fine again until I fully charge it.
Thanks for any help

Niggle is like a small problem lol. And people with battery issues are popping open the back and making sure the battery is connected properly. I have seen a lot of cases where it has worked, give it a try or u can just send it back.

Thanks for your replies, i cant see it being a battery connection issue as it starts first time unless its fully charged, i did think about sending it back but to be honest its not a big issue it just means i have to hold the power button in for 20 seconds after a full charge. If it does get worse i have always got a years gurantee and can send it back.
Yes a niggle is a small problem, something that bugs you

No, I love that you did. I kinda miss all the usual British colloquialisms from whence I grew up. Not so much here in NYC..

Is that not just holding power button to shutdown?
I know from installing a ROM, i kinda screwed things up and it locked on the goolge boot up screen, long holding the power button shut the device off.

Screen recording. Volume up plus power at the same time

I've never seen this anywhere, but apparently holding volume up and power at the same time initiates a screen recording mode. Why haven't I seen this mentioned.

It's been posted up before and even in a bunch of online articles. You need the SCR screen recording app in order for it to work though from what I've seen.

Oh. Just never saw it anywhere and have owned about 25 android devices in 4 years. Strange.

the only thing i can find is to do it through adb. can anyone recommend an app from the play store?

Actually, it's volume down and power button at same time to take a screenshot. That's how it works on my N5.

This isn't screenshot. This is screen recording. Not sure if its psx rom only thing or if its across all of kit kat ROMs.

It's a new feature that Google snuck into 4.4. It's been fairly well publicized at this point.

Not sure if its built into psx ROM only, haven't tried on other ROMs. Happened on accident.

Pretty sure its just a psx feature - on my N4 on Rastakat it did nothing, but now that I've flashes PSX on the 4 it works fine. That certainly snuck under the radar from the PSX devs

On most (all?) devices without a removable battery, holding power forces the device to reboot, seeing as you can't simply do a battery pull

One Handed mode?

Haven't seen the minimized one handed mode used in videos yet, anyone know if it's still there on the Note 5? Also, does the triple click on the home button activate the one handed mode like on the Edge+

The one handed mode is still there. I tried double click and it activated the Camera. I will research a bit more.

Triple click in rapid succession and it will give you one handed mode. It has to be rapid. If not, nothing will happen or you will get camera mode.

It needs to be activated in the settings before the triple click will work. Its under settings>display.

Is there a way to resize (enlarge) one handed mode window?
