I have a Google Glass unit, and it reports the software version XE13. This same Glass unit doesn't have a working USB port either (it's broken).
Is there anything of interest I could check out?
As for what I noticed:
- The shutdown screen sometimes (maybe always) shows an outline of red and blue
As for screenshot proof:

Indeed. I sent the kit back a while ago though so I can't get any more info from it.
I still have my kit

This is a Home Trial device. Google breaks the USB ports, so they can't be charged. The XE13 software is a slightly updated version of XE12.
Did you buy it from Google, or from someone on ebay or such?

Not really related, but could you dump the rom if it first?
(im not sure how easy this part would be without a working usb port, you would normally simply "adb pull /system" if it worked)
I doubt that there is an ota for it to begin with, they likely never made a patch for it since it isnt public.
(unless the glass team's policy differs from the standard android one) they generally do not make otas for combinations that they would not expect in the wild
Normally if this were a nexus device, the course of action would be to just use the factory image, but like you mentioned the usb port isnt able to be detected by a pc.
If you can root it without using the usb port, it might be possible to manually get CWM loaded on it and update with a manually made update zip. But without a usb port, if anything goes wrong then it would be very difficult to recover from that.

When you say 'I got my kit from google." Do you mean the explorer's program, or did you buy it for the full price? You can't update/flash from XE13, since the USB port is broken. Neither can you set up ADB over TCPIP. OTA's are unavailable too, since XE13 is not allowed to receive OTA's.
I got in from google with the home try out kit.

In that case, you can't do anything with it. Without a working USB port, you can't do a lot with it.
Yeah well I have another unit I might open up and experiment with it

I just had a BSOD – freaked me out because I'm working on assignments at the moment and a dead PC would be disastrous.
I tried installing the debugging tool to read it but it tells me it couldn't locate the file path during installation – its sounding like its just not liking its own install exe...
I'm using Windows Vista, and I did go for the right version as far as I'm aware, so I'm not sure what's going on. I tried downloading it again etc, no luck. I'll probably spend as much time trying to sort out the debugging tool's issues as working out a solution for whatever caused the crash... so...
If someone who has the debugger installed is feeling like generating some positive karma for themselves by doing a quick read-over as to suspected problem I'd be immensely grateful (this doesn't do justice to how grateful I'd be...)

Use Windows 7 or XP.
Usually a normal restart works. Although, it might be a good idea to find out the reason for the BSOD.

Yeah, well aware of Vista's issues. Its been pretty much fine, until this BSOD.
Parents' PC is XP but not at home for a few weeks, and have assignments to do in that time, hence wanting to know if there's something I should be doing to stop a more catastrophic event...
Just one BSOD?
Wouldn't crap your pants over that to be honest..............

Nope.
The reason I'm more concerned about this BSOD is that my graphic card has had a tendency to overheat if I play games and shuts itself off to prevent damamge, and even with simple things like word processing / net surfing it sits in the 70sC if I don't force the fan up to 60%.
Case cover is off to help - it started happening after coming back from holidays. Cleaned it out best I could but didn't help the overheat issue, so some mysterious thing happened to it while I was gone.
If it is the graphic card that's caused that BSOD then I need to seriously bring forward my plans to upgrade my PSU to get a newer card before it causes any significant dmage to other parts.
I was putting it off until holidays (in 3 weeks now, but been happening since Feb).
It's things like this that make me glad that I've stayed on xp for all these years. Have you tried a restore point? I think it could be your graphics card doing it when it shuts itself down.

Either way, I've had a chance to upload the minidump into dropbox, in case anyone reading wants to have a look at it..
Just picked up a 16GB Nexus 7 from Staples in Canada and I find some odd things are going on with my device. All of the Development options were ticked when I booted it up, Gapps are not installed, it is running Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, the model number shows "ME370T" (The cancelled Asus tablet that became the Nexus 7) and in the app drawer there is just a strange list of unknown (to me) debugging applications. I will attach a photo. The tablet was sealed in the box and is still covered by protective film.

I wonder if this could be of some use for the devs then. I can easily take it back and swap it for another Nexus 7, but if there could be something useful on the device, i'd rather sell it to someone in the know. Private message me if anyone is interested in this unit.
Is it the same hardware? Thanks

Yes it seems to be the same hardware yet I can't find anything out really. I really don't feel like modifying it in any way right now, even though I am experienced with Android.

couldn't you do a back up and give devs access to that? and go ahead and return the device. idk maybe that won't work
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2
The thing is it doesn't recognize as a Nexus 7 when connected to my PC. It shows it as an ME370T so the Nexus 7 Toolkit will not back it up or root it.
Wow. Does ICS at least run well
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
No nothing really works, even the camera does not function...
Well you could go out of your way to get the stock jb running on it, assuming it has all the same hardware, it should work just fine. But I really wouldn't bother and just take it back.
Maybe hook it up to adb and do a full backup for reference, just in case.
I bet someone bought a nexus 7 and returned to the store what you have now. Many asshats with xbox360's that had been banned were doing something similar. They buy a new xbox360, do a 'gut swap' with their banned unit and then return the thing to the store.

No it was a sealed unit
Make a full backup with a adb before you return it though. Contents could be interesting.

If it doesn't have any of the known issues just keep it and reimage with official stock.
Can you please make a full dump of the system and upload somewhere, I would love to get my hands on that Android build

The "special apps" are standard engineering build (=dev/debug) apps.
For one they are present on all emulators that come with the Android SDK and they are build with and included in when you build an Android from sources as "engineering build", which is kinda the dev-version.
However a dump of the whole system (tarball or dd raw dump of the partitions) would be nice to have, I hope the OP is willing to make one

Why do you have to do it with the toolkit, just get the sdk and do it. There are probably root methods for ICS devices that would work on it.
Hello,
does anyone know if it is possible and where to get the european (french/german/czech aka C-Type) head for the power adapter?

The simplest way I think would be to buy other cheap charger from Ebay and use EU adapter head from it. I think it should fit.

Did it work?
Hey, did you try buying the other charger? Did the plug fit into the original Nexus 10 charger?
You can always get something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/EU-2-Prong-...=Laptop_Adapters_Chargers&hash=item20c3edd0b3
Unfortunately I'm still waiting. The first one did not arrive so I applied for refund and received it. I ordered a new one now, so I'm waiting. Again.

God bless eBay lol
Im looking for the exact same thing. But i dont want a cable instead of the plug, then id rather use the flat-to-round plug converter i am now. I found out that theres a company in Taiwan called Well Shin that makes the exact plug. I have emailed them last night from my company email but havnt heard back yet.
I found on eBay something which might fit:
www DOT ebay DOT com/itm/US-EU-UK-AC-100V-220V-Plug-For-Apple-iBook-MacBook-Pro-iphone-ipod-Power-Adapter-/330751018142?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&var=&hash=item4d024c049e
(Sorry about the link, new user...)
It says it's for Apple products, but it looks pretty standard to me. Does anybody know if it'll work for our nexus?
EDIT: On second thought, the base does look bigger than what would fit into the nexus adaptor. It's a shame.

Strange, because they are not exactly the same charger. The copies are made from ETA-P10X while the Nexus 10 charger is the ETA-P11JBE. For me the Euro plug doesn't really fit, it gets stuck a bit down. Maybe it will go in all the way if I push hard but I don't want to do that.

My brothers htc desire c is stuck with the phone saying it is charging while no charger is plugged in. Have tried reset, battery pull, and hard reset. We are thinking its a hardware issue due to the fact that it does not charge while the cord is plugged in. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks I advance.

Have you tried flashing a custom rom?
Anyways, I had a Sony Ericsson that did that. It said it was charging but it wasn't, it had one of those weird set of copper (I think) plates that were used for USB connection, charging and headphones. It derped and it was showing a charging animation constantly.
It was an old phone so I just used clean alcohol to clean the plates and it kinda fixed itself, although I do not recommend doing that for your device, because it has a different hardware setup.

With stock sense and a stock kernel it may also be a kernel issue as the kernel contains the Charging Animation configuration and stuff, although flashing a custom Rom would probably solve the problem, although if still under manufacturers warranty send it back and get a new one before voiding anything..
No the phone is not rooted. It will not even connect to the computer through usb. I am beginning to think its somthing to do with the usb port on the phone. I might go ahead and try the alcohol thing. Thanks will update.

Before you do whatever, send it to the manufacturer if in warranty. Also USB ports work different from Sony erricson connection thingies, so be really careful what you do with it.

I hoping it fixes the random disconnects. Never happened until the last FW update, then I got one every other day and it was pretty tiresome. Also never tracked it down but I keep randomly seeing something about host stopped working as well as "cannot install app to the Gear" when turning on the phone after being off or something of that nature.

I can see it but still can't access the clocks in my gear manager after installing it. I am going back to d8. I downloaded the dd firmware for the UK and it gave me a fitness manager app. S health works now and syncs. But I started having an issue where my phone answers automatically or disconnects whenever I get a call while connected to my gear 2 neo. Also there is no us update for the dd firmware. I have searched high and low, but the knowledge and support for the gear 2 is very limited. Too many issues being reported out the box. My assumption is people who are rooted or using custom roms are having the most trouble. Good luck early adopters.
Thank you for the heads up. I'll wait
