[Q] No multi-user support for 4.2.2 ? - Dell Venue

My Dell Venue 8 just arrived, and despite it running 4.2.2, there is no multi-user support.
Is there any way to enable this? I find it strange that this feature would be disabled as I was under the impression that this was a vanilla Android setup.

I thought the same thing when I loaded mine up. Maybe they will include it in 4.3?

It's supposed to but for some reason Dell elected not to include it, we might need a custom ROM to get this feature included. Luckily, the Dell Venue 7 & 8 have an unlocked bootloader.

Couple of questions before I decide on getting an atrix.

I am thinking of trading for an atrix and have a couple questions.
1. Whats the latest os stock version number and is it rootable? Sideloading?
2. Has the update been released yet to fix the upload speeds?
3. Is the tethering hack still working with the latest stock build?
The potential deal is a iPhone 3gs and dell streak for the atrix. Thoughts?

1) 1.8.3 rootable wth Gingerbreak and sideloading enabled with Gladenable
Gingerbreak
Gladenable
2) in 1.8.3 there is new modem firmware AFAIK, If not then there is the Modem available from the Telstra Firmware
Telstra Modem
3) Not sure but there is "One Click Wifi Tether available"
One Click Unlock Wifi Tether
there is also a build.prop mod

Hope that helps
Thanks. Does glad enable work on 1.8.3 doesn't say so on the link you posted. What do you think of your atrix. What are the pluses and minuses? Think the deal is fair?

I don't have 1.83 yet (as it's still in beta, though an SBF has been leaked), but I'd bet the bank GladEnabler works on it (enabling sideloading is a simple and given thing so long as you can obtain root -- it is merely a matter of changing a "0" to a "1" in settings.db).
The deal is more than fair in my opinion. This phone has way (WAY) more processing power than both 3gs and Streak put together.
Sideloading defiantly works on 1.8.3. Just tested it
Note: am using gingerblur and never gladenabled

I don't want to derail this thread, but I keep seeing people saying this. Is it actually the case? Because I got the update last week from the Motorola website, and I was not in any beta test.
-Doogs™
The .83 available now is not a beta file. They have been sending the update out in batches over the last week.
Thanks for the help guys. Yeh I just checked the motorola website and 4.1.83 is on there available for download.
I played with the atrix at at&t today. I like it but feels so small compared to the streak.

[Q] Google Play Music Update May 15 Crashes

Hello. I am using a Samsung Tab 2 10.1 P5113 and I updated my Google Play Music app to the update released on May 15th (the one with the "All Access" feature and ever since then it keeps crashing. It is completely unusable. I have tried everything I could think of. I was on CM 10.1 nightlies, then i went back completely to stock, I've unrooted, wiped, uninstalled, re installed, and every other idea I could think of. If someone knows any information that could help I would greatly appreciate it. (Note that I have root and am running on stock Touchwiz so I can post a logcat if you need me to, also all of the other Play Music versions worked just fine for me.
P.S. The new update for May 21st did not fix the issue at all.
I, too, have the same problem on all of my devices running the latest version, which range from a Dell Streak on 2.2 through a Note 2, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and HTC One S. I think it doesn't like that I'm in the UK, as it doesn't seem to be device specific.

Well I think that the all access only being available in the us might cause issues for you. I could be wrong though.

That would be silly but make sense.
Luckily, I can roll back updates on some devices. It's not the end of the world because I can still access my music but if I only had one of these and if I wasn't able to, I'd be more than a little upset about it!
For some reason it works just fine on my old Samsung transform ultra.

Ok. So I think they came out with a new update but kept the date in the description the same. I've been using the app all day now with no crashes.

Yes they did. I've checked that it works on my Nexus 4 (as I can uninstall updates) and although it took a long time to let me in the first time, it's working. So that's good. Thank you.
Still not working for me. Does anyone have the pre 15th APK so I can roll back?

Surface Flinger memory leak supposedly fixed!

Matthew Fry posted the following here:
Ladies and gentlemen, I have the most amazing news. Pretty much the best news I can think of.
I have finally received word back from the Mali Developers. They revisited the issue and found that the fault was indeed in the Mali drivers.
"Following previous emails, the Nexus 10 issue that you have been mentioning has been fixed in the latest versions of the Mali driver."
It is, unfortunately, Google's responsibility to release this new driver version with the next Nexus 10 factory image. We can only hope that the fact that I/O has come and gone and the recent release of the Google Edition S4 and One on 4.2.2 does not mean that JB 4.3 or KLP are a long ways out.

So hopefully we'll see the drivers soon! They're supposed to be released here when ready!
I really hope they fix this issue. I turn off my tablet at night so its not a huge issue but on heavy usage days I'm guaranteed at least a reboot if not more.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Wow I am so happy. Good thing I didn't end up selling my tablet yet! Also seems like 4.3 is coming on July 24th, looking forward to it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Oh thank god. That's my only gripe with this tablet.
That sounds great! however... not sure if that is something that is going to be included in Android 4.3, if it was recently released Google would have to make a lot of testing before put that in Android 4.3, maybe it was distributed to them before, will see next week..
I am hoping with all my heart that this is baked into 4.3. I cannot STAND this issue any longer.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
I also can't wait to have a stable system that runs without fault for days, without having to reboot. I use a auto-reboot app that launches everyday at 7:10 AM just after my alarm, no biggie but if I watch some html videos...
Stupid Samsung. Ugh.
It was their mistake from the beginning. Idiots.
Not buying anything more from them for a while.

Mention here first.
I think we have to hope it is going to be release as part of the 4.3 update. If the Mali update was from the 14th June then I think it will be included in the 4.3 update. If it is the 14th July then maybe we might not see it until 4.3.1 or KLP. Let's hope it makes it

If Google had done just a little bit of testing, we were not talking about this issue today. So I don't think they care about testing or quality. We are their lab mouses.

Use nova to fix that. That's what I have done. They have a option to keep in memory to prevent redraws.

He means install Nova launcher from playstore and use it as your default launcher. Also in advanced settings of Nova launcher there is an option for keeping the screens in memory to avoid redraws. You can enable it but I am not having any redraws even with having this option disabled. Just use Nova launcher.

I see the driver was released.
Is there a ROM/image built with it yet? I've been poking around and haven't had any luck.
Do we REALLY have to wait for Google?

It seems these are not complete source codes and in fact you need ddk - driver development kit - to build real drivers which is not available to devs. So I guess we should wait for Google.

[Q] HeartBleed 4.2.2 on Htc one x + At&T stock

Call me crazy, I have HTC one x + (At&T) running android 4.2.2. (STOCK VERSION, updated from 4.1.1 that came out a few months ago...also locked bootloader and an unrooted device).
I've read multiple articles saying the openSSL bug should not affect my phone. However ever security app I download to test for the bug says I have open SSL version 1.0.1c and the behavior is enabled. Now, i understand that android apps can be packaged with their own version of OpenSSL, but I'm not checking the apps. Lockout app & Blue Box both save I have the bug & it's enabled system wide. Annoyed with HTC customer support because they keep saying i don't have it. Perhaps I'm missing something, but why do multiple secruity apps say I'm vulnerable. Any suggestions would help.
thanks all
Your statement isn't quite clear, but I think the 1.0.1c version IS affected by Heartbleed.
Sent from my One X+ using xda app-developers app
thanks panpjp
Sorry for the confusion
My Phone Information:
HTC ONE X + (AT&T)
OS: Android 4.2.2
STOCK/UNROOTED DEVICE
OpenSSL 1.0.1c - heartbreed enabled
So, i guess I'm wondering if anyone else with my device is seeing the same issue. I thought google confirmed 4.2.2 was not affected by the bug.
thanks

Same with my stock htc one x.
Spoke to the Swedish HTC support today and their response was that no updates to fix this was currently scheduled so in short:
"Don't use our phone if you care about your passwords being leaked" as I understood it..
I got the same response from htc, they kept saying I was on 4.1.1 and privacy matters. Didn't even listen to me. Hope they fix this...was gonna buy a new phone in a few months. Not sure if HTC will be my first choice unless they can change my mind.

Okay.. even worse than our support then.. :-o
Always a great way to loose customers..
I've used HTC since Hero but now I'm jumping ship..
the HOX has been nothing but problem for me and it's been serviced 4 times for all kind of issues..
Wifi/BT being one of them..
Going for a sony Z2 now, IF sony can deliver them any time soon.. Like this year at least..

simply nothing -_-
we should get htc over to give us an update with the bug fixed, no matter if we get a new version of android the bug has to be fixed
i can't reach htc support somehow -_-
well there has to be something
right now im trying to put the kitkat openssl version to jellybean to see if it works :d :fingerscrossed:
I read somewhere (android community?) that HTC is thinking about updating the ssl library in all phones.
http://www.slashgear.com/htc-plans-heartbleed-fix-over-top-legacy-android-risk-18325774/
Old topic, i know but yet to know, the only way i found to fix heartbleed is to upgrade to android kitkat.
I am using mokee rom at 4.4.3 kitkat latest stable and it has openssl 1.0.1e which is vulnerable but heartbeats disabled... So its safe

There is an official update for the International One X+ which fixes the heartbleed vulnerability. I'm not sure whether an official fix for the AT&T version has been released yet though.

[Q] Android Device Manager

Can anyone find their Mate 2 on Android Device Manager. I never had a problem on JB, but since the update Android Device Manager doesnt list it at all. Am I the only one?
Looked up the issue online and I see multiple other devices with the same issue....
http://google.com/newsstand/s/CBIw4627mSA
Apparently there's a problem with it currently. I have 4 Android devices and I can only see one of them. Hopefully this is what we're experiencing and they will fix it.
Unfortunately I never checked to see if it ever worked on Lollipop.
