[Q] New Nexus 7 expectations.

Hi guys, just few questions if possible.
I am with android for several years now and my latest android device was i337 SGS (ATT Branded) and we're having a lot of problems with bootloader not unlocked and stuff. Is there a such problems with this device or there is no locks of any kind, and in general I do understand this is pure google but can we expect CWM recovery and ROMs for this little guy ? I can't live without my CM on my android.
And in general people who have it anything you like and most importantly don't like so far ? I orfdered mine 32GB version should be here I guess on 30th a bit after.
Thanks all.
P.S.
Anyone know where to get a case and screen protector for it but not for $20 for a damn screen protector ? I looked up pictures it looks like you can't really use old screen protector for new device ..can you ?

Please remember that from now on (unless that changed and I didn't knew): nexus = no bootloader lock at all. The nexus line was always devices that google wanted to support development and therefore there are no locks. So far, there's already CWM and TWRP available (in one day ) Hmm as far as CM is concerned, it should come soon as they're merging to make cm10.2. As far as accessories are related, you may want to check the accessory section of the forum.
Hope this helps!

that's what's up !

I guess next thing to get for this baby is wireless charger. I work with phones all day and charging port is is always getting messed up in the phones and tablets so I guess it's good idea to have something that does not require to insert cable. I see any QI Certified product will do, anyone have advice on inexpensive but good quality one ?

Ear piece question

Hi all, I have a hardware issue with my ear piece, on my gnex gsm.
I was wondering if I buy this : http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=280884804801 or any other oem ear piece it will fit to my gsm gnex? It will work even if it is for 4g nexus?
Thanks for your reply

Probably, looks the same, but why take the chance?
Been a while since I've posted, but I'm pretty sure there is some rule against me posting a specific item for sale. A quick search on eBay will give you many options for an original i9250 earpiece, top-rated sellers and all.
(If you want a link, by the way, just PM me, I just found a few that seemed like a fair deal)

Nexus 7 2013 USB otg recommendation?

First of all sorry for my bad spelling I'm from Puerto Rico (I talk Spanish )
I'm new to this and I want to know what or which USB otg is good
(from what i read this cable is for connecting keyboards, pen drives, mouse etc.) Correct me if I'm wrong. The point is I don't know which one is the ideal for this things if somebody post amazon links I will appreciate it.
I found one in a old thread of nexus 7 but it cant be shipped to my country (Puerto Rico)

I got this one, great quality.
And I have this one so I can use an OTG device whilst charging (needs a kernel with OTG+Charge support).
Amazon says it ships to your country, with the exception of some hazardous products.

I use ebay. Paid $2 for one from china. Arrived quick, works

Well, you need an unlocked bootloader for the second (in order to flash a kernel that can support OTG+USB charging), and you would need to install (or boot to) a custom recovery in order to flash said kernel, that being said, root can be useful with both in order to use stickmount, but you do not need root for either for normal use.
So I'd get the second one, since it will function like the first one without a supported kernel, they are both OTG, it's just that the second one lets you plug in your charger to charge it at the same time (and your kernel supports it), and powers the OTG device, if the kernel you have is stock, for example, the second one will behave just like the first one.
I have both because I got the first one before knowing that OTG+Charge existed...and it never hurts having extras...I also use a powered hub with the second one so I can charge the N7, power whatever OTG devices (multiple) at the same time.

Very useful information thanks. I really like that double use but I'm going to get the first one since I'm going to do the basic stuff.
But I'll will consider the second one for a future use.
Thanks a lot. I just order it on amazon. Again thanks!

No problem, glad to help.

I use these. The straight is great for keyboards and mice, two-pack for under $2.

This right-angled is great for keeping small USB flash drives against the tablet's edge, sometimes $3.99, today $1.99.

In second post, @MinecraftZombi.es said that he grabbed one and he's from Spain. Ask him how.

I'm also interested in obtaining this phone. £299 is the cheapest price iv'e found, the only problem is that I can't find any way to get the phone from the UK to the US

Maybe something like www.myukmailbox.com and similar

Got one Tuesday after much fussing. First one had a power button issue and the second was the last in stock. I have a very small hairline scratch at the top but not on the actual display itself. I have just ordered a screen protector and case as not *ONE* (high street) shop in the UK appears to sell any accessories for this phone that I could find. So I have been using it bare. The scratchy plastic front lens is a bit of a pain for me as I have an HTC One M7 that has never had a screen protector on it in over 3(?) years and has not one scratch on it. Some minor niggles. The scratch prone nature of the lens obviously. The Android soft keys take up room on the screen and requires root to sort out (I am a bit shy about doing that right away). The lack of a charging LED when connected other than if you run it down to 0%. A fingerprint scanner would have been nice as well as the sensor that the S6 has to monitor things like heart rate. I can't seem to get Nova Launcher to work properly on it either (post Marshmallow and after updating). Not sure if that required root or not on my HTC though. I can see myself rooting it at some point but I will probably need some hand holding in order to do it.
In all other regards it's a steal!

Nova Launcher works absolutely fine. Most be something to do with your phone.
Try to reset the phone.

Nova working fine for me too.

Turns out something changed for the camera app launcher (The one on the bottom was different to the default launcher on Googles Launcher). I was getting a photo app error when using it in Nova ('Photos has stopped working unfortunately' or something like that). I changed the icon to the Camera icon shown in the default launcher and it works now. I think I must have installed Google Plus or something whilst running Nova and it changed the Camera launching app. Only the default camera launcher seems to work with Nova on Marshmallow (what is that Quickpic? Will have to investigate). Also I don't think Nova likes the 'Hide System Bar' app on unrooted phones.

Eonon GA2178 - 10" Android 9 Head Unit

Dears,
anybody tried Eonon GA2178 - 10" Android 9 Head Unit?
I'm actually on Eonon GA2168K - 10" Android 8 Head Unit, it's a good device with minor problems.
Anytime developers fix a problem they introduce an other problem and there's no community support for MTK chipsets.
Because of this I'm evaluating the new Eonon GA2178, that is quite similar but based on Rockchip chipset.
Tks!

Any update on that GA2178 new device? I bought this one as well but have not installed it yet.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

I installed this unit (Eonon GA2178) on my Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2019 on last weekend. It's working great, Loudness setting makes the sound awesome.
Cons:
- I don't like the launcher, probably will use FCC Launcher
- I have not figured out how to connect the steering wheel to SWC1 and SWC2. I think I'm missing the decoder box (Axxess or Metra). I'll buy it on amazon and report back if it works.
Feel free to ask any questions on the install.

I used the Metra. Works good. Sometimes it gets confused and doesn't work but 95% of the time it works.

I've got a GA2176 and just purchased a GA2178.
I probably should have asked these questions before I bought the new unit but.
Does this come with google play store installed?
Have they fixed the overheating issues? I saw a review where the screen would flicker in heat over 85 degrees.
Has anyone tried the addon dongle that supports android auto and apple carplay?

Google Play Store was installed from the factory. I had to install multiple other Google Apps (I have a Pixel 3 and use them all).
Live in Georgia and we've had a heck of a summer. No overheating issues.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

I have not tried the adapter.
No reviews as of a week or two ago and the company didn't answer my question about how it works or if it would enable the latest version of Android Auto.
I'm very interested but wanted someone else to be the first to try.

Thanks. I live in Alabama and you're right. It's been a particularly hot summer( temps hanging in the 100s for multiple days).
I've also been looking around for a root for this unit. Has anyone found anything?

Well, when I talk to customer support I was told it will work with the GA2178 so I ordered it with the head unit. Hopefully I'll have it before the week is out and offer some feedback.

I have not seen a way to root yet. I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
I am running FCC launcher and am getting along fine with it. I hated the stock UI.. it's pretty horrible.
I am very interested in hearing your experience with the adapter. Why we'd have to spend another $60 for it to work like it should is beyond me. However, I really would like to have that feature. Let us know what you find out.

I have a 2010 Dodge Ram and used the PAC RP4-CH11 decoder and the SW switches work very well. You can even program them for short and long pushes. This gives you the ability to control more functions with them.

I received the head unit and carplay/android auto dongle yesterday. I tried the dongle with the old head unit, Eonon 2176 installed and it seems to function just like any other iOS carplay stereo. Once I get the 2178 installed I'll do some more testing and let you know what I find and think.

Sounds great man. Thank you.
You don't by chance have an Android Phone to test it with too do you?

I installed my Ga2168 in my Nissan Sentra and I have the dongle as well as usb stick, sd card and front and rear cameras as well as GPS and wifi installed. When I originally got this it ran incredible but the 2x I tried to turn it on it would not. I used the reset whole and it finally turned back on. It ran fine after but then a few days later the same thing it would not turn on. The reset button worked again but I contacted support and they sent me two files to do a complete system reinstall. The problem is not that I reinstalled the os it is so slow everything runs slow to the point I don't want to even use this radio. I will say when I first got the machine it worked fine other than not turning on sometimes. The dongle works perfect with IOS and Android I tested both. I will say I prefer to use my phone as a hotspot and just use the tablet as a giant phone.

One thing I noticed is how these stereos don't like to run well if they are not getting a full 12.8 volts. I left a dash camera on in the parking mode and it ran the battery down to 12.2 volts before shutting off. After that the stereo seem to run slow and was slow to boot. It even had issues with turning on a few times. This was with my old GA 2176 model. I put the battery on a charger and fully charged it and the stereo went back to normal.
edit - of course I go out to my truck this morning and the stereo wont turn on!!! lol the battery is 12.2 volts. I had to use the reset button to get the stereo to start again.
So if you have a weak battery it can cause issues with the stereo.

I don't have an android phone, just a MiPad 4 that I can test with.
I do have an issue with the screen being kind of floppy from side to side. Where it connects to the mount on the main head unit isn't that tight of a fit. I sent an email to Eonon and they want me to make a video of it. I'm going to assume there is nothing they can do about it. I'll probably have to make some sort of a wedge to go between the screen and the head unit.

Mine has a little movement.. not horrible but it would be nice if it was tighter.
Screen isn't very sensitive but I'm used to using my Google Pixel 3 XL.
Seems much more like an old tablet where you had to press hard on the keys to get it to respond.
I am driving an F350 Powerstroke Diesel. It has two 12v batteries so voltage isn't a problem for me.

That's how mine is. Let me know what you find out.

I got a response from eonon, they told me to tighten the screws. As you can see in the video, all of the mounting screws are tight. I told them as much in the first email.
I then got a second email asking me to please make the video private. I can only assume it's to avoid bad press. Well, that isn't going to happen.

From what I can see it doesn't support the 2178 or 2176 atm. These two HU are rk3326 with 2 mg of memory and the ROMs you link to only support 3368 and 3399 HU with 4 mg of memory.

I just got the GA2178. Has anyone figured out how to unlock developers settings or USB debugging?
