I use the pen for selecting small items on web pages where zooming is not allowed and where a laptop and mouse would be needed e.g. in charting packages. I also find it useful for selecting text during editing where you need to be precise.

I figure it's a tool that needs to be learned like a musical instrument.

A little bit every day, until you get to the point where you're fluid, expressive, and extremely efficient.

Right now, I'm practicing here and there. Here's what I hope to be able to do very quickly with the S-pen in a couple months:

-- pull up S memo, jot down a quick note or 5, save in a "pile"; convert to text to be scheduled/organized later; shared to Evernote/Skitch/class notebook

-- screen capture pages and images, then edit/crop them to share later (like in the fancy demos)

-- sketch quick ideas, like charts and graphs, to import into a presentation form (ppt, email to group, into a video tutorial)

-- learn to draw (How to Draw app), to make quick flyers, invites, and ads

-- be very familiar with photo editing, exporting

-- be very familiar with video editing, exporting

-- annotate PDFs, whiteboards

-- be fluent enough to demonstrate all this to gawkers

As of now, I'm just dipping my toes in the all these pools. So much to learn, so little time...

I will say that I'm finding the tiny stylus and the inconveniently placed button difficult. I think the larger Samsung pen accessory into which the stylus can be inserted is somewhere in my future...

I use it to use the note when the temperatures are very low and I have my gloves on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oneiricl:
I love drawing and sketching with the s pen...

I also use it to write out messages quickly. Once you get used to using the s pen, handwriting input can be pretty fast - I manage to fit 4-6 words even on the portrait version of handwriting input for msgs and that works out pretty well; it's even better in landscape..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] apprentice:
I use the pen for selecting small items on web pages too and also some games are much easier to play using the pen.

In the winter I imagine not having to take gloves off to use my phone (except to get the pen out of the slot of course!)

If you're asking though "Is it a gimmick?" then I will say NO. It is genuinely useful.

Hi

Id like to install TouchNooter but then install only offline apps (.apk).

Can I follow the installation steps only until point 8 and then place the apk files to the sd card?

Sorry Im totally noob and I hope this post makes any sense. :rolleyes:

Thanks

Gogolo
[Nook Touch General] guitar_east:
You could do that. Make sure you enable non market installs. You will have to use ADB or browse the web for an APK to even get a file manager on there to be able to install other APKs from your SD
[Nook Touch General] Gogolo2:
Great, thank you very much!
[Nook Touch General] sayno2quat:
You can also install them directly using adb, bypassing the sdcard. But that's if you're using the desktop to get the apk files.

The linked thread below is the definitive discussion on the Android OS bug. Please read the OP thoroughly before you ask whether ROM's or kernels fix the AOS bug. Bottom line, there is no fix.

Absolutely a very informative read. I saw this myself last night. Thanks for posting a link odub. There is a lot of good information included.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
I pm'd the OP to see if he minds if I copy the main content into this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It definitely made sense to me. I mean if I charge my phone to full before I go to sleep and I have my 2 email accounts set to sync at maximum which I believe is 1 hour on stock email app then my Android OS is always going to be at the top until I actually start using the phone and if you are really using your phone then screen is always at the top of usage and if it was such a major battery drainer then when I woke up and my Android OS was at like 60% then I don't think my battery would look like this...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
So are you in agreeance there is no bug and the percentages show just the way it should?

I do not believe there is a bug but people will argue there is so it is almost a waste of breath...If you click on Android OS you can actually see how much activity is uses. I am also waiting for someone to post a pic that has a high on screen time but still has a high percentage of Android OS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Well, if its a bug (which it is acknowledged as and without a real fix) then its not something that's dinging my battery in any major way that's for sure. Edit..once I debloated my phone and got rid of the apps that run on their own, everything has been great here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dweeze87:
I have been running Calks Rom 1.5a with Overstews ICS Theme. With this Rom and the Kernel that came with the Rom, I believe the kernel was the Rogue Kernel, I was having only 2% dedicated to the AOS. Two weeks ago I flashed the EG31 modem, which I feel I jumped the gun on that, but was still only running 2% for AOS. I flashed the EK02 kernel today and my AOS has been sitting at 14% and I really dont see any improvement in signal strength. Compared to some of the speed test I have seen in some of the forums, my data speeds seem really slow in comparison. Does anyone know if the jump from 2% to the 14% AOS I'm having will make that big of a difference in battery life? With my previous setup, I was able to run on a full charge for about 2 and a half days with moderate use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I believe (and I may be wrong) that it was masked in the kernel more than it was an actual fix. Really your best bet is to re-calibrate your battery and give it a few battery cycles/days to settle in and then compare your results to previous setup
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Any kernel patched up to .14 reports usage in a way that results in dramatically reduced usage attributed to AOS. Personally, even with the bug, the device is superb in the battery life department. If the ever truly quash this bug, it will leap to ridiculous.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I agree 110%. If your phone is set up right, you will have great battery life right now. If it gets solved...wow! We will be in for a real treat. Is there anybody checking this our on 2.3.6 or is it the same?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:

Hi all!

I am looking for a physical store in San Francisco where they sell the Galaxy Nexus or where you believe i can find one from a reliable store. Please i need some quick input as i am just gonna be here for another 3-4 days.

I'm aware of Expansys and internet retailers, but must be a physical store. I've been a Nexus One early adopter.

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
My brother is in SF but he will leave saturday... as he is staying in a hotel.. it is a pita and not desirable to ship to a hotel. He said the only way he would think of buying me one was just physical only.

Thanks for the heads up. How much was on handtec? Shipping cost?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catpunt:
it came out to 439.98 GBP including shipping which on tuesday morning worked out to 684.48 USD. Now it would be about 690.94 USD due to conversion rate. I used paypal with my amex. they only have 1 shipping option to USA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tk123456789:
Buy it from Expansys, I got mine in three days in the USA.

expansys-usa doesn't have stock though. they were expecting to get stock today but their website shows they are still waiting.

warning -- the handtec fedex shipping label says 'weekday delivery' so i wouldn't count on getting it on saturday

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
This was an issue that was very irritating on the Nexus S, and it appears that the problem is still present in this Nexus. It seems that there is no audible alert to notify you of a text message while you are in a call. Basically if you don't just happen to check your screen then you won't see that you have a text message while you're in a call. The only other way around this is to use 3rd part text messaging software (which I really don't want to do). It would be nice if they addressed this in a future update, though I'm not hopeful they will, considering the same problem was present in the Nexus S.

I posted this issue in the google support forums. Hopefully it can get a little bit of attention.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apascual89:
I have not received mine yet, but the galaxy s 2 has a setting to change this. I don't know if the nexus has this also, but ill share just in case.

Settings>Call>Call Alerts>Alerts on call

Let me know if the settings menu is the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
No, this setting does not exist in the Galaxy Nexus. I've posted this on the Google Support forum, the more people that post on it, perhaps the sooner Google will get this rectified.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
The OP is correct, noticed it myself. Im not sure how i feel about it yet, just wanted to point out that it doesnt alert.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
Well I know how I felt about it when I had been on the phone for an hour with my lady and I just happened to want to send someone a message, and I picked up my phone to notice I had a text message that had been there for about 45 minutes that was regarding some money.....I wasn't thrilled about it lol. The same issue was present on the Nexus S and I had to use Handcent so that I could have audible text messages during calls. I don't really want to do that again, as I actually like sms client in ICS. Hopefully Google makes the change if we make sure they know about it, hence the support post in the google forums I linked to.

Are you successfully updating ROMS with ROM Manager while running CM7 from the SD card?

The CM is running off the SD card. The nightly on my Nook says this:

CyanogenMod-7-07042011-NIGHTLY-encore. I simply would like to update it to the most recent stable CM version.

I am familiar with Rom Manager as I use it often on my Evo. Always considered updating to Premium. Question is, if u get Premium, will I be able to use it on multiple devices?

As a general rule yes... you can run paid apps on multiple devices... HOWEVER:

DO NOT use ROM Manager for an SD card install.

Ok so after reading that thread over and over, I was unsuccessful. I even went to other threads and was told Nightly 201 was the most stable, and to just place it on the root of my SDcard and to boot. I did that and it seemed to install. But when I turn it back on and check the version, its the same nightly version I originally installed. Ideas?

I also have a plethora of SD cards, on case I should use them.

So, I flashed Caulks new EK02 Rom, and, when I went to restart, phone is stuck on boot screen; Wiped everything as normal before flashing, but stuck on the yellow triangle screen.

I tried all the normal stuff to get into recovery, but phone won't go past the initial boot screen.

I have a mac computer, and thats all there are in the house, so I can't use Odin..

Hi all :)

I want to root my motorola xoom so I can overclock it and install custom roms. I just recently rooted and installed a custom rom on my nexus s for the first time and I enjoy it!

Just a little info. prior: I bought my Xoom in Canada. When they never release 3.1 I got upset and i believe i flashed the US version onto my device, would this cause any issues?

I started to follow this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1278214

It tells us to download the clockwork recovery, but when I go to download the file it gives two options. One is a .zip and the other is .img and I have no idea which to download.

Thanks for the help!!!! :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCluva:
I'm not sure but I don't believe it should matter
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjabroni:
The only thing though is on the download page it says to make sure you pick the right one so that you dont brick your device

I wouldn't risk it then
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Use this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1249798 and when you read it you will see that you must never try to flash a .zip file via ADB, only an .img file.

This stuff is in the Xoom Heaven thread and also on its own in the General section.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjabroni:
Awesome, I like that guide better, there is more detail.

But will this method work if I have already unlocked boot loader (but perform unlocking again because I'm not sure if i did that or not) and it'll work for any Xoom?

So now im stuck here...

I have read the three threads you told people to read. I tried renaming the recovery file. still says "error: cannot load 'recovery.img'

I found another post saying copy all the files in platform tools to the tools folder and try that, and that didnt work.

I'm curious, on my xoom during this process it says "starting fastboot support protocol" should it always say that?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Yes to the starting fastboot protocol...

Check to make sure you have fastboot.exe in your tools or platform tools folder (whichever you are using)...some people said that it wasn't in the SDK but I did include a link. Without that fastboot.exe file you won't get anywhere.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjabroni:
yupp fastboot.exe is in platform tools, when I started the guide I made sure of it
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjabroni:
I just tried something, but it seems weird.

So i was able to unlock the bootloader no problem, and my problem now is with flash the recovery.

I just tried after work again to see if maybe restarting my computer would help. Rather, I got the same error. But for giggles I typed "adb devices" and the xoom didnt show up ...

Any ideas? or does that help?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Make sure the recovery file you are downloading its called solarnz not Tiamat. The Tiamat file is either old or corrupt. The one with solarnz in its name is the newer version.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjabroni:
Ok so I downloaded that recovery image, but on the thread it says "solarnz" but the actual image when downloaded is identical to the one I originally tried to use.

I tried it anyways figuring that maybe my version of the recovery is corrupted for some reason, still same error.

I'm still getting no devices when i input "adb devices" ... I checked device manager and it is recognized there under the "ADB Interface" as "Mot Single ADB Interface" with no exclamation marks or anything.

*Edit: Ok i'm learning something new every time I try something. I learned that I can't perform an "ADB" command while in fastboot. So i looked up fastboot commands and ran "fastboot devices" and my xoom showed up. Now im even more confused! haha

Weird ...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
You are right. The image file on solarnz's thread is the Tiamat version, which may not work. Did you check that thread to see if he posted the "solarnz" version? Also, see if anyone might still have the good file in their downloads. I probably do on my home pc. solarnz has requested that we don't put up any mirrors without his permission. but this might be different. I'll see what I can do.

but even still, I get the same error
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
And you had the same issue with the version that is in the OP of his thread? It is probably not the issue of which file you're using but another issue, like with your sdcard...is it in the Xoom and mounted when you try to flash the file through fastboot? Is the sdcard good...have you tested it in another android device, if possible? This is all I can think of at the moment. Good luck.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjabroni:
OK wait should the recovery.img be in platform tools or on the sd card?

But yes, the SD card is/was in my Xoom, it does mount (it shows up in "storage" in settings). I put my SD card in my HTC legend and with file manager I could find the root .zip file

Edit*

Also would plugging my Xoom into a power source and by USB make a difference?

Sent from my Nexus S
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
The recovery image must be in platform tools but you need the sdcard in the Xoom when you flash the recovery file. Also, make sure that you are using the original Xoom sub cable or one that is capable of data transfer, and you may want to try a sub port on the back of you pc as they are often higher powered.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjabroni:
Oh ok, well the SD card is definitely there, and I have been using the original USB cable and the main USB ports on the back of the computer. :(

Edit*

I just tried doing the same process using Bootcamp windows on my mac, still no luck. Everytime I still get "Error: cannot load "recovery.img""

Is there any other way of flashing the recovery?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Can you make sure that your syntax is 100% correct and that you don't have hidden file extensions on Windows? That could cause "recovery.img.img."
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjabroni:
Ok well you were right, I did have a hidden file extension, which made the recovery file "recovery.img.img" but even after I changed it, I still got the same error ... I'm starting to believe that my Xoom will never be rooted :(

The recovery file has to be in the same folder as the fastboot executable?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cstrife999:
Yes. They both have to be in platform tools.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjabroni:
Ok, that's where they are, I just thought maybe I had it in the wrong spot :(
