[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Go back to HC 3,2. Come back next year, when things are finished. These guys, are working with core code, and yeah, maybe it's not flashy enough yet for you.

First off, I see a lot in screen transistions. You don't see it, but we do. Overall speed.

And that's without final tweaking on things, and finished drivers.

A lot, is to see the new stuff, while it is being made. You wouldn't understand, unless you like these types of things.

So, go back to xda, and stick with hc.

Has anyone tested iphone/ipod headphone media controls with the note and do they work? I want to buy some headphones but most just say apple compatible. I know the 3.5mm jack is different from the first generation galaxy phones. I plugged the Note OEM earphones into a captivate and the controls didn't work. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] satein:
Hi, I tried a headphone that came with HTC HD2 and it turn out that this HD2 headphone can work almost the same function as the one Samsung sent with the Note. Only press to Play/Receive call work and FW/BW, they are working as Vol up/down.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] pepeto2001:
have you tried the headset from the NOTE?, I can use it with beyondpod for:

. next

. previous

. vol

. pause

and you can assign the button for other functions...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] AdoreMe:
I'm currently using the Note's provided IEM, as mine kind of spoilt. :mad: so far I only use it to increase, decrease volume, launch stock player, play and pause. Still thinking how to change sound track though. but yeah, it's working for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] pepeto2001:
the beyondpod player responds to double clicks and long clicks of answer button, so you can assign it to FF....

maybe the stock player can use that clicks too....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] brotbuexe:
I'm using my Shure 215 with the optional headset cable with a single button and it works fine with "Headset Button Controller" from the market.

Click = play/pause

Doubleclick = Next track

Click&Hold = Volumechange (set it to changing from 20-80% in x steps)

And you have call control.

What I still haven't figured out is how to make the samsung voicecontrol app start and work when the phone is asleep...

Don't know if there is any device without a apple logo that can use the apple compatible buttons (they would sue them :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] linzgeneral:
What do you mean optional headset? Where can I get this from?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dgco86:
I'm using the Audio Technica AT335i and it works well. Best thing about it is that it's modular, so you can use it with any earphones you like.

It says it's intended for iPhone, but as far as I can tell, all functions work fine on my Note (single click to play/pause/pick up call/end call, double click to go to next track, triple click to go to previous track). Volume control is just an analog slider so it works independently of the phone's volume settings.

Klipsch sell an Android specific set of buds called the S4A...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klipsch-S4A-Headphones-Android-Silver/dp/B005M1KO1C

The earphones are single button and rely on a free, native Android app here:

https://market.android.com/details?...NvbS5vdXRzaWRlc291cmNlLmtsaXBzY2hjb250cm9sIl0.

I don't have the S4A's, but I just downloaded the app and it works perfectly with my Note and Marshall Minors (http://www.marshallheadphones.com/product/minor).

There's been lots of complaints about the Klipsch app not working with the Galaxy S and various other phones, but I can't find a problem with it on the Note.

*** Update ***

I just found the Klipsch Promedia's on Amazon for £35 (usually £90 like the S4A's): http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_p=466496413&pf_rd_i=typ01

They appear to be exactly the same as the S4A's apart from the colour - this thread indicates they work fine with the Klipsch android app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20510095

I'm hoping they'll be delivered before I return to work next year :)

So can i connect my phone with some way and put the nadroid backup?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moon-unit:
What recovery do you have installed - stock or Clockwork Mod?

I'm guessing it's Clockwork if you where trying to flash an ICS ROM, in which case you can access the SD Card from the mounts section of recovery, copy the .zip file of your choice to the SD then flash again - either stock GB or custom ICS.

Make sure you wipe all system/cache/data folders before flashing the next ROM.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvaju:

Turn off phone.

Turn it on with volume up+power button

Choose recovery

On storage choose mount usb, than put ROM you want, and flash it.

now need a good backup so anynone know where can i find ??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
You should've made it yourself. It contains private information so don't even think about getting one from someone else.

You have to flash the ICS.zip ROM file through 'install zip from sdcard' menu.

[Android General] hewewe:
The following are my opinions about the features of ICS which makes me very angry in every use of them. I think these are the silliest things of ICS. If they are not being used or will not be used in the official release, please ignore my comments. I also want to know if I am not alone. Some of them are already known to be disliked. Here is the list:

1) Widgets in the same list with the apps. (the widget select menu should the same but separate from the app drawer. e.g. holding and choosing add widgets.)

2) simple gray background of buttons and white text on them. Looks ancient and not elegant. (usually the options menu that shows when you press the hardware options key in most apps such as music, calendar..)

3) While typing capital letters, if number mode is selected and then returned to the letter mode, the capital mode is lost.

4) while in number mode, if space is pressed, it turns back to letter mode.

5) worse call screen

6) disgusting calculator theme (please tell me this gray design is not in the official release)

[Android General] lowandbehold:
So you can enable it on the Galaxy Nexus? I am not doubting or arguing, just curious. I plan on purchasing that when I get home. If not, can it only be enabled in phones with SD card support?
[Android General] ghost010:
why do you even need mass storage?

most of the time when you connect your phone, your removing and moving files off and on your phone anyways.

so those few time you need to edit will just take 1 step extra.

plus we now can use our phone 100% while connected to pc
[Android General] lowandbehold:
I agree it is not necessary, and it is not a dealbreaker when I select a phone to buy. Like I said, I was just curious. I am familiar with MTP and have no issues using it.
[Android General] AllGamer:
agree with everything except the dial pad

i do like the ICS dial pad design :D
[Android General] pillowmissile:
I love that you can see the Widgets in the same menu. It makes it easier to see what you can actually put on your phone and be able to see exactly what it looks like before you place it on a screen. The calculator looks just like the one from eclair, and as for the number pad going to letters after hitting space, my phone has always done that no matter what rom I was on. I personally love everything about ics. Its simple, elegant, and sophisticated. The only thing I would change would be to add the toggles back to the pull down menu.

I slightly don't like how the wifi category is implemented. It's just having to do with me being more lazy and having to go through more clicks to manually configure the settings.

[Android General] odinfire:
Actually, I kinda agree with having a bit more storage. I would like it if they would offer phones out of the box with larger sd cards rather than upping the internal storage. It gets annoying moving files from the phone, to the car, to where ever when I can just take the micro sd out.
[Android General] sooyong94:
This is why manufacturer skins come in handy.. :P

Though I found the most usable one is Touchwiz because it adds some pretty neat features that AOSP Android doesn't have like toggles on the notification area.

The #1 can be fixed by installing another launcher, I use ADW EX. Moving the menu button is kind of annoying, specially since some apps still use old APIs meaning the menu button can be in two different places depending on the app.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Jayrod1980:
I've read that you can't use the native Netflix app on the tablet if your nook is rooted. Is this true? I have a nook tablet on the way and have always rooted my android devices. If its rooted do you lose the HD functionality of Netflix? I know you can play through browser or through the market app but I want it to play from the well received stock nook app. Any help is appreciated
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kes00601:
Use OTA Rootkeeper and temporarily unroot before launching the stock Netflix app.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JoeM01:
First, you do not lose the ability to use the Native App.

Second, there is no HD playback, given that the screen isn't capable of HD playback. If you want to know if any resolution is lost in playback, if your device is rooted, then the answer is no.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
It's technically "streaming in HD" even though our devices have too small of a screen size for it to be noticed, but yes. You keep the functionality of the app with root. I watch Torchwood and How I Met Your Mother all the time on my rooted nook tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PlacidCat:
Correct, however, the Nook Tablet's 600 lines of resolution are still more than 480p. With the hardware scaling, 720p streams should look a fair amount better than 480p.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Jayrod1980:
Thank you... guess I mixed that up with Amazon vod.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Yep, video works fine on the NT. Amazon Video too (but that will require the OTA Rootkeeper app as the simplest solution).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
edit :Turning this feature off has massively improve my battery life .

In nodo, we can turn this feature off in the phone , but in mango , i just discovered how to do it, we cant turn the feature off in the phone itself

U need to do this only once .

so here are the steps :

1) tick on the 2 features in settings > find my phone

connect to these features faster

and

save my location

2) go to https://www.windowsphone.com and login with yr primary phone ID ( live,hotmail, MSN ect)

3) at the webpage, go to my phone > account and click remove ( to remove yr phone).

4) tick off the 2 features in settings > find my phone

connect to these features faster

and

save my location

u will notice Find my phone disconnected immediately

u may see possible battery life savings but u cant install apps from webpage marketplace but the phone marketplace works fine
[Windows Phone 7 General] kristoff_sz:
I've just tried that method.

The only thing that has changed is notification under the Windows Live - "Outdated", but "find my phone" is still connected for me.

I'm waiting for other reports out there ;)

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
Mine says disconnected.my live account is set to as items arrive.for some reason if u cant get it right , maybe u want alter this setting to 15 mins , manual or as items arrive. But it should probably not make a difference

To Repeat the steps again, if u didn't get it right

1) ensure location is turned on.

2) tick the 2 options on yr phone , "connect to these features faster" and "mapping "

3) sync yr windows live id on yr phone ( right click>sync)

4) go to windowsphone.com. U will see yr phone there listed again and with a email in yr inbox " welcome to windowsphone" . Wait for this email .

5) untick the 2 options on yr phone , "connect to these features faster" and "mapping"

6) repeat the steps in post 1
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
I do not have any use for find my phone, it does not help one to recover a lost , stolen phone as tech savvy thieves can easily remove the sim card or hard reset the device in which case the feature is rendered useless.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Snake.:
No really, one more simple step is to turn off the location services, poof, it´s off.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
I believe it still works without location as yr position is determined by cell phone tower triangulation and info is sent to microsoft thru yr phone data services but need yr windows live ID for it to be seen on windowsphone.com

Also btw I think this also uses up battery as it clearly says connected.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
did u press sync??

another method is to make a full backup of yr phone using the custom homebrew tools in xda

hard reset yr device

restore using the backup

Remove yr phone in windowsphone.com

and u will see yr phone disconnected
[Windows Phone 7 General] weide43:
Thanx, but is there an option to put a password on find my phone option?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
What do u mean by that?
[Windows Phone 7 General] kristoff_sz:
Ok, it worked - after 5 days of phone deletion on site ;) Thanks Magpir.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
Its a bit tricky though but hard reset, set up live account and restore backup method is easy because windowsphone.com will detect 2 phones and will disable one (after restore)

Use the custom backup/ restore tool from xda...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
Turning this feature off has massively improve my battery life .
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Another Magpir special? Necro'd by himself? Sweet!

1) take out sim card

2) turn on phone, put sim back in, go to SMS

3) send an sms to your own number

4) call your local provider

5) ask them to send you a text

6) go to options > turn off SMS

7) take out sim, turn off phone - VERY IMPORTANT - wait 13.5 minutes

8) charge phone fully

9) replace sim, turn on phone

10) open internet explorer

11) type in your phone's mobile number to address bar

12) take out sim

13) restart one more time, replace sim

14) throw it in the air and say some magic-sounding words. Woozle wozzle or something

15) do a handstand

16) pleasure yourself

17) take out sim again

18) replace sim

Your phone should now turn into a flamingo and give 400,000% better battery life.
