Dev needed...

Just like another post I just read, I too need a developer to work with me on an app idea. The app in mind will require interpreting data being fed in via the phone's micro usb port. Someone with experience with the hardware side of things would be a plus to even see if my idea is feasible. If you are interested, please just message me.
Thanks,

Video: How to use Nexus S to send files using NFC, just tap phones together to send!

Hi Nexus S owners,
Here's a video tutorial that describes how to send files and apps using NFC, this is the most easy way to send files between phones, all you need to to is just simply tap twp phones together.
The app we used to do this job is an amazing one called File Expert ( https://market.android.com/details?id=xcxin.filexpert ) This is the first app on the market that supports transfer files using NFC.
For someone may ask how File Expert does this job. OK, let's under the hood, technically speaking, File Expert will use NFC to auto-configure a Bluetooth connection between phones. Because all configuration data is sent by NFC, so there's NO device searching and pairing process required!!
Please see video here:
Thank you

Now I just need to find someone else with a Nexus S

I know that feeling. I haven't seen one Nexus S ever besides mine.
Hell, I've never ever seen a Nexus One outside of the Internet.

Any interest????

Trying to take a poll to see if anyone would be interested in getting adb and fastboot commands working.
The idea here would be to gain access to your rooted android phone and shell into it and gain access to fastboot commands aswell as adb commands from our tab.
The usage, so you can have a way to recover your android phone in a worst case scenario when you have no access to a computer with adb set up.
Let me know.

Plenty of views, yet no interest?

Thanks for asking. I think it would be great to be able to use the tab that way. Be great to get adb and fastboot access when out of the house without a pc.

Most of us here on XDA are not devlopers. I think if you have knowledge to get this done or started Do so.post what you have and how you are moving forword. Development might get interested and move forward .This is normally how I have seen XDA work its magic
Good luck
Just a.geeky blonde here sorry

Would be great. Looking forward to it

The Kit kat OTA ADB Sideload success thread.

I've seen several threads of people either complaining where the OTA is, asking if anybody had gotten it, or asking those that have received it, to stand up and say so.
Quite frankly I'm immensely perplexed. :what::what::what:
You have at your fingertips the two greatest sources of techy knowledge mankind has ever known.
XDA and Google.
I gladly boast, yes I didn't care to wait and ADB sideloaded the 4.4 OTA zip.
Yes, I ran into issues, but I dug my heels, put my nose to the grindstone, and did some serious XDA'ing and Google'ing and figured it out. And, no data was lost, all data was preserved! After installing GEL with the latest Google search apk, couldn't be happier!
All those impatient souls that took things into there own hands. Let the world know, yes I choose not to wait for Google to give me a hand out, and ADB sideloaded that bad boy!!! :thumbup::beer:

Glad you got the time to waste on doing what is supposed to be a quick and easy feature of Android. It take time to do what you have done and some of us just don't have the time!

You don't understand.... It's a new feature in Android. You have to download and find the way to install the update yourself.
I'm sure it will make Android more popular and attractive than Apple.

It may take a little bit of time but it's not like it's hours long.

It wasn't android that was the issue. All the software I got from Google worked as it should. It was my windows 8.1 PC that was giving me headaches. And it didn't take that long, hour at most. I to, don't have much time to spare.

It takes less time to sideload the OTA manually than it does to spam check for the update and spam post complaints about not receiving it yet. It's very simple. I don't know why there are so many complicated guides.
Here's my guide:
adb sideload filename.zip

Side note: this only works if you're using the OTA. Only slightly more tricky -- flashing the factory image.

also there is the factory image. has been out for some days now.

OK, actually made a real guide now. Unsolicited advice: make your android life easier. Learn how to install SDK and run adb and fastboot commands. Avoid toolkits for things that take one command line.

done thanks

If you are stock, locked, and un-rooted you can sideload the OTA update and not lose a single thing.
The longest part of the process is downloading and installing the android SDK (if you don't already have it), which really isn't bad at all with an average broadband connection.
I already had the SDK loaded, so it took me about 20 minutes start to finish to do the 4.4 update (and that includes the time needed to download the 185MB ota file).

You don't need to full SDK to do sideloading.
You only need the platform tools, in particular, 3 files from the platform tools totalling around 954kb

No idea why, but of the 3 nexus 7 I maintain (2 for my kids + a friends) 2 of them got the update, one didn't. Downloaded update, applied via sideload, all is right in the world.... (except the digitizer on my friends... it's a hot mess.)

I didn't want nor need to install the full SDK, but when I tried out ATGAdmin's one-click restore I wound up with a few files that seem to have worked for me since then. I just wanted to know what 3 files they might be.
I've got:
fastboot.exe
adb.exe
adbwinapi.dll
adbwinusbapi.dll
Are any of these the ones you are referring to?
Thanks in advance

You'll need correct drivers as well. Commands I used follow:
adb devices
(verify that device shows up)
adb reboot bootloader
This boots you into bootloader. Then choose recovery.
Wait for android w ! mark on him. Hit Power+VolUp together
Use menu to choose something like "Apply update from adb"
then
adb sideload <filename.zip>
Note, this is what I did. I have full sdk installed.

Nexus 10: Control remotely over the internet?

Hello,
I got a Nexus 10 for my mom after her PC broke down. Since we are seperated by many kilometers and she has trouble to follow instruction how to fix / to do stuff on the phone I want some visual and input control.
Actually I need an app that allows me to control her tablet from long distance. I check Teamviewer Quicksupport but there you can only do screenshots, there is no full life control for the nexus 10 in Teamviewer as far as I have understood. Can anyone please recommend something? I wanted to ship the tablet on monday, so fast help is appreciated in advance.
btw. I dont care if I control the tablet from my windows pc or my nexus 4 android phone. I just need a solution. :/

Hmm, I can't seem to find an app for that either. Rare occasion I guess. What you could do is program Tasker to do a service like that for you... you'll need her tablet to be rooted. You'll need root no matter the solution.
If you don't know about Tasker it's a really nice app for developers/techy people to automate/add tweaks/features on your phone. This will be a really advanced implementation though. It's surely possible and it'd be easier for me to develop it for you than to explain it. You'll need your own web domain though. I mean one that you have for yourself, where you could place a php script.
Hopefully that helps or gives some insight at least, if you need my help I could develop that setup for you. You'll need to root her tablet yourself tho.

Say thanks if I was of help,

So there exists really no solution for that issue?

Have not tried it on a nexus 10 but I can fully remote control my note 3 using Teamviewer.

Root her Nexus and install a VNC server app. VNC Server by onecent in the Play Store worked for me (sorry can't link, too new). Then just use a client on either your phone or computer to connect. You will probably need to set up port forwarding on her router to connect remotely. Hopefully you're not too far since you'll likely have to visit her to get that and rooting done. Good luck.
