femi9naija:

Thanx a lot my nicca. Custom ROM is d way. Pls recommend 1 based on JB. Phone is LG nitro HD.


Please refrain from asking people this type of question unless u know that person uses exactly the same hardware as you.

you don’t expect people to recommend what they don’t/never used. flashing custom roms may seem trivial, but there is no surer way of damaging your device.

that said kindly direct your attention here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1448

you will find all that you need there.

one word of advice though: [size=28pt]READ THOROUGHLY AND CAREFULLY ANY THREAD THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN AND ALL THE STICKY THREADS.[/size]

ONCE AGAIN [size=28pt]READ AND UNDERSTAND
[/size]

never take anything for granted. personally when i get a device i spend close to a week reading up threads on it on XDA so i can understand fully what that device will entail for me challenge wise

ginky: Pls, I use a Google nexus 4. I had it since last Yr December. The problem is that some games don't work on it even after I downloaded them from play store. Some of these games are temple run, fruit ninja, the sim, subway surf, etc

Pls, what is the problem? My course mate uses the same phone and I noticed that her fruit ninja works well. For mine, a picture would just appear and afterwards , the phone hangs. My system update is on point. Its 4.2.2.

Strange , I use the same phone and I also don't have any of those issues. Have you tried a factory reset? Are you running a custom rom or stock, rooted or not?

Hey all,

Been using the 3G Nexus 7 for about 2 weeks plus and so far so good. The only hitch I've noticed so far is there's no way to lock your mobile data connection to 3G only. The option is simply not available among the Mobile Network options.

This is especially annoying because whenever I get home the tablet goes to EDGE and using the internet becomes brutally slow. It's only in certain parts of the house that the connection goes back to 3G/HSPA.

I've scoured the interwebs for a solution but have come up short. Does anyone know a way to overcome this problem?

it's meant to go to EDGE when 3G is unavailable

[quote author=ciphoenix]

That's the problem. 3G is available but probably the EDGE signal is stronger in my area that's why it switches.

While I was using my HTC Desire S, the mobile connectivity options available were 2G, 2G/3G and 3G only while now on the Nexus 7 there's no 3G only option. That's what I'm trying to bring back.

Most of the 2G/3G switcher apps i've seen in the Play store are just widgets which don't do what I want. They are basically shortcuts to the mobile network settings and since the option to lock mobile data on 3G is not available there, they remain useless ( I tried a few of them out)

As for making use of a launcher with a dialer, that won't work either because the dialer functionality has been blocked from the framework of the Nexus 7 so the dialer app won't even be able to gain access to this part of the android framework. I've tried using the Dialer One app from the Play store and after installing, whenever I tried to launch the app it rebooted my phone.

What I'm trying to do now is get the modified framework for the Nexus 7 that has the dialer unblocked so I can try the *#*#4636#*#* method you mentioned above. I've seen a few but none that matches the build number for my tab.

Will update when I've made some progress
