I don't understand he tho.
If you having a hard time flashing a NEXUS of all phones, you are definitely doing it wrong.

[nervewrecker]

so after waiting more than a month to get the kit kat update on my htc one, after the update i've started to get some horrible battery drains, from a full charge to 20% in 4 hrs. Even when the phone is not being used the battery drains, i tried killing apps, disabling wifi bluetooth etc it still drains... any suggestions? or do i have to wait for eternity for another update lol thank god i didnt sell my iphone

Better Battery Stats, search for the xda thread, install the app, let it work, see your issues, fix it

You should try a factory reset after an upgrade though

[BrandoHD]

^ you understand

I see now why Apple is the best. This N4 is so much harder to flash roms its ridiculous I spent 2 days trying to unlock the bootloader alone and still I am stuck just cannot do it.

My S2 i9100 was so easy just flash stuff with Odin and you done. But not this garbage N4 and guess what I can't even sell it now because with new kit kat the wifi stinks.

You get 1 mbps on a 100mbps connection. I even did a factory restore same thing.

I should have stuck with Jellybean. My fault was too greedy for something I didn't even need. Who knew the holy grail of android could not do a simple update without 1 million issues.

Google will abandon nexus 4 soon just as they did with galaxy nexus so I eh know what go take place. And I cannot flash any rom with this thing so I am stuck.

Next time I buy a phone go be windows phone 8 or something. I done with this android rubbish, it free for a reason.

Boot into the bootloader and type "fastboot oem unlock"

Cleaned up CM 10.2 and installed CM 11/KitKat4.4 on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 via the XDA thread.

Was a bit tricky using TWRP because of some issues with a binary updater. Fix was available, but one would have to do it every time for a nightly update, so I had to switch to CWMod recovery via Odin. Used updated Agni kernel v3.0 for CM11 rather than the Espresso10++

Works fine and smooth, bit of a new look. Will check wireless printing capability later.

Don't just yet. still a lot of development. wait until the official CM11, the RC at least.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

ok the good news is the internet speed is fine over wifi when at a flow hot spot or something.

is only home I get 1mbps max but elsewhere its full speed.

So I guess its my internet but the thing is laptops read full 4MB on my connection LOL

no one has took on the development of 4.4 for that device yet.

I am using the p3113 and only 1 developer has started experimental builds of 4.4 on that. He's is just using the unofficial base CM11 experimental code based on the Nexus 7 and tailoring it for his device. Right now there are many things he has to fix. external SD-card storage and file system for one. The Nexus 7 doesn't have an external SD card. The Google launcher is also a bit buggy sometimes.

Air Print works perfectly on the Samsung wireless printer though. I am hoping that 4.4 fixes Android's proxy problem and brings it up to par with iOS.

Google Adds to Its Menagerie of Robots



Google confirmed on Friday that it had completed the acquisition of Boston Dynamics, an engineering company that has designed mobile research robots for the Pentagon. The company, based in Waltham, Mass., has gained an international reputation for machines that walk with an uncanny sense of balance and even — cheetahlike — run faster than the fastest humans.

It is the eighth robotics company that Google has acquired in the last half-year. Executives at the Internet giant are circumspect about what exactly they plan to do with their robot collection. But Boston Dynamics and its animal kingdom-themed machines bring significant cachet to Google’s robotic efforts, which are being led by Andy Rubin, the Google executive who spearheaded the development of Android, the world’s most widely used smartphone software.

The deal is also the clearest indication yet that Google is intent on building a new class of autonomous systems that might do anything from warehouse work to package delivery and even elder care.

daz exactly why i ask if yuh was p51xx
pops still has is and was doing a lil digging and only saw up to 4.3.1 stable builds and nothing even alpha 4.4 so i found it weird only a day after i was searching, you posted about a 4.4 build. I have a feeling development will die down on these tabs soon. To me once youtube, adobe reader and mx player working, I'm happy. The 7" has the silly apple-esque charging/data port too? or it's MicroUSB?
