4.3 USA

I am using a stock, non-rooted N7 and I haven't gotten the 4.3 update! I am getting a bit irritated. No matter how many times I click check update, 4.2.2 is the 'Up To Date' OS! Is there a way to force the update without having to just flash the new ROM? I don't want to take the time to root it just to get new software I SHOULD be getting soon anyways. Also, if it makes a difference, as I know some updates roll out based on region, I am in the mid USA

Have patience. Also, if you want to update, no need to root, that's a myth on Nexus devices.

Okay thanks. I'm thinking about getting the new one anyways and giving that one away yet. Not sure yet...... I want the update now though :-/

opps sorry its i337

I'm assuming you were on the mdl firmware or you wouldn't be able to flash roms. At this point I would try to flash a stock firmware with odin.

thanks for all your help im going to take it bak to the store in the morning and switch it out..

It sounds like OP flashed a different devices kernel and hard bricked... Pay attention to what you are doing. Always double check the software. If in doubt, ask the kernel developer.

do you have a usb jig? that might boot it into download mode, allowing you to flash MDL via odin.
also, they may not exchange the device if they detect it has been modified.

If it doesn't turn on, they won't see anything that would say it has been modified.

i'm sure this plays a part in carrier's loving opinions on rooting.
i've seen bricked devices shipped to carrier repair centers and customers later billed for the no-longer-warrantied (unofficial/modified) equipment.

well im hoping they dont give me any problems tomorrow.. its still in warranty so it shouldnt be a problem thanks for all the help..

Except, you voided the warranty by rooting and flashing a custom recovery.

Actually they can.
They'll send it back to Samsung who will inspect the returned phone under an RMA from AT&T. Samsung will know right away if it was modified when they run the diagnostic, since they will attempt to refurbish it and resell it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

That's not entirely true. I have purposely hard bricked quite a few devices to see if they could figure it out. Not once have I received anything from Samsung or AT&T stating that the found something or were denying my warranty because they found something. There is nothing that they have that can definitively prove that a user broke their phone if it does not turn on, simply because they cannot pinpoint exactly what made the device fail. They will not give any problems if the OP says that he was doing a software update and the battery died before it finished. I'm not saying it is right. I did it for testing purposes and a theory. Not once have I experienced any repercussions. I might add that I have done it at least a dozen times. So OP would be in he clear.

I was, but given the resent news of a Nexus 5 with Sprint LTE support I'm holding off until it gets announced. If it won't come out to Sprint the Moto X will be my next.

Where did you see tale of sprint nexus5
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I will be getting one soon in white when its available for SWAC purchase. Having an available upgrade is nearly killing me but I doubt I will have to wait much longer. I'm not sure what you guys are reading about another Nexus on Sprint but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'm still thinking about it. I'll probably time it so that I'm eligible to trade it in for a Note 3 within the 14-day grace period just in case I don't like it.
Good to see a familiar name

I should get one soon hopefully. My broken screen EVO 3D finally gave up the other day, no phone ATM:crying:. Stopped by one of the local Sprint stores, they didn't have any in stock and would let me know when they'll be getting them in the store. Right now it seems they're only available online, not sure for how long though. Need to get my account balance payed down before i can upgrade though...:laugh:

Just some quick thoughts since i just got mine, all bloatware except sprint zone seems removable. Also unless it times out on me it looks like Google wallet may work. It came preloaded anyway

Would you mind grabbing a system dump for me please? Connect phone to computer with usb debugging enabled and run the following command (open a command prompt in the directory where you have adb, tell me if you don't have it and I'll link you to a quick download for it)
Code:
adb pull /system system
Then wait for that to complete and zip up + upload the folder it makes and drop a link for me...
Thanks!

Were you able to get wallet up and going? If you did then the rest of us may be able to bring it over the vzw and att. If we are able to change lines in our build prop to make it think its a sprint then install and set up wallet then revert back like we did with the s3. Might be some hope as long as the secure element is hidden somewhere.

Has anyone gotten Google wallet to work on the G2?

If not does anyone think that it is a possibility that it will be hacked to get it working for the G2?

Talk about debbie downer, it would be great if it would work, i am coming from the gnex, and use google wallet quite often. CM10.1 would be great too but that is for a different section

The Sprint version of the G2 has been uploaded so hopefully someone can obtain Google Wallet access for other G2 variants.

I used tap to pay on my Att s4 last week. There's an up to date zip you just load from recovery and it works fine.
It's not a build.prop change. It's taking binaries on the sprint version and porting it over.

Any updates to this?, would love some tap and pay action on this G2

No need to bump after only half an hour.
Tell us more about your dataplan, is it 3G, 4G? It may possibly be a misconfiguration. I know I've dealt with them, too; it may be similar for you. Maybe your ISP/Carrier has a manual on how to properly configure your specific model. Most carriers have them online.

the att variant i get 40+mb/s on speedtest. and downloading is quick.
may be the tmobile variant that is slow. i was with them before and only got 8mb/s.

It's regular 3g nothing special about it,btw the device midel is d802.
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app

The speed is usually 1mbps but it should be 5mbps.

Weird, my d802 works fine on 3G, I have a 14,4Mbps plan and I usually get around those speeds, unless I have a bad signal. So it can't be the model. It might be just yours, or a misconfiguration as I said earlier.
I'd definitely at least take it to a carrier shop or servicepoint where they might be able to help you diagnose the problem further, if their internet site doesn't have any configuration pointers.

I will do it thanks.
