On a rooted NT with Go Launcher, is there a way to make a folder? (I'm giving this to my wife as an Xmas gift...want to put all games in one folder and put on homescreen). When i 'long press' homescreen and select 'folder,' nothing happens. Is there a way to fix this...some kind of setting i need to know about or something?

Thanks,

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] baldy62:
In your app tray, long press on an app you wish to place in a folder and slide it over another app you want in the folder. A folder will be created with both those apps. Add any other apps in the same fashion. Then long press on the folder and move it to the desktop. Once there you can edit it's label by long pressing the folder.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Voyaging:
Okay the only way to make a folder with rooted NT and Go Launcher seems to be by putting it in the dock...i added a folder there, selected the apps i want in the folder and then moved it to the homescreen and it was visible. Every other method i've tried, the folder doesn't actually mount itself to the homescreen.

BT Tag Writer is application that offers you way to add NFC pairing to your old Bluetooth speakers. NFC pairing allows you to pair, connect and disconnect the device just by tapping the NFC tag with your phone. This application is still under development and this thread can be used to request changes and new features for this application.

Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=fi.siika.bttagwriter

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbuLGsXIvKI

--- original first post ---

Hello everybody.

I have been now writing application for Android devices with NFC capabilities. It basically offers wizard interface for writing new NFC connectivity tags for your Bluetooth speaker(s)/headset(s)/etc. And software that will take care of the actual pairing/connecting, when you tap the tag with your phone. NFC pairing is something Nokia does with N9 and it's Bluetooth speakers, but it looks like Android still doesn't handle this well out-of-the-box. Also I still haven't found easy to use connectivity tag writers for any devices.

Sort demo of application in it's current state: Check youtube video kzoG5VM6VcU (can't have this as a proper link, as I only have less than 8 posts to this forum, sorry)

Before I release this software to market, I would like have some people testing it with their speakers and devices. I really hate alpha level software in market. If you have Galaxy Nexus, some sort of Bluetooth speaker(s)/headset(s) and hopefully some writable NFC tags, and you would like to help me to get this software tested: Please tell it here. I still have some small things to resolve before this is ready for closed testing. If you like to help me to get this tested please also tell what sort of Bluetooth device you have and what NFC tags you have available.

I will most likely release this software as free (gratis) and probably in open source (don't know the license yet). So I am not planning stealing your time and then making money out of it. Only thing I can offer to you is to add your name to application's thanks list.

Also if you know software that already does all this, please tell. If my software does not bring anything new, I have to redesign it little bit. ;)

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmeidl78:
I'd like to test your app.

Got the same NFC-Chip like you (mi(d)fire or something like that I've bought for my old Nexus S) and a Nokia BH-504 Bluetooth Headset and for sure a Galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy S, too :-)

Just tell me how I can help testing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] S suxeN:
i would test as well buddy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alump:
For now this is ICS software, do you happen to have some unofficial 4.0 image in those? I kinda would like to make this 4.0 only software, as all NFC devices most likely will get that update.

Your phone is Nexus S? What sort of Bluetooth devices you have, and NFC tags...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Northernmost:
I'd love to test this. I've been using NFC Task Launcher to do something similar but it doesn't currently support connecting to a specific device. I'm running ICS on a GSM Galaxy Nexus and have several A2DP speakers I could test with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alump:
I will fix few annoying things and then will put link to debug apk-file here (maybe Wednesday). I will try to see if I can make it run in 2.3.5+ too. Anyhow software will be limited to Mifare Ultralight tags (original and C versions). I have to buy other type tags to see what I can do with those, but that's later. Common Ndef writer classes does not work at all with Android or then I'm doing something wrong.

Android also really limits clean ways to do intents for more complex tags. So these tags software now writes are not proper connectivity handover tags. Just the core part of those is used and stored as single NDEF mime item and then this app is marked to handle those NDEF messages/records. Positive side with that is of course that information fits to smaller tags. Also PIN code storing will be probably done little hacky way to the first version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmeidl78:
Like said above. Both devices got ICS and NFC and I've got Midfire NFC Tags...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alump:
So many different Mifare tags out there. Mifare Classics will not work (for now).

Anyway, pushed software to market after all. In few hours you should be able to find it from there. Offer still stays, if you can try it out and report issues here it would help. I had to drop headset support for now as it didn't work as well as I hoped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Northernmost:
Great! Will try it out today. Here's the market link https://market.android.com/details?id=fi.siika.bttagwriter
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Northernmost:
Missed that bit. I really must learn to read ;) All the Mifare tags I have are Classic ones.

A couple of initial thoughts after myfirst use of the app...

1) Back when I was on 2.3.7 there was a Bluetooth A2DP widget I used (can't remember the exact name now) that, when you created the widget, would display a list of already paired devices that supported the A2DP profile. Once you'd picked one the widget would attempt to connect to it automatically.

I'd like to see your app do something similar rather than having to go through a pairing process with a device I've already paired with. It's a small thing to do I know, but I'd imagine most users will have already paired with their speakers before ever finding your app. I don't know if you can enumerate paired devices supporting the A2DP profile in ICS though.

2) When your app was scanning for BT devices it would find my speakers but would only display the BT address. It didn't display the BT device name after waiting for several seconds. This may be a BT stack problem though.

3) It looks very nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alump:
1. Yes my app does not trust the already known devices list. Have to see if I can get that too. Anyway my application does not pair devices that have been paired already. It simply is stupid to not offer those. I have to check if I can used paired devices list too. I have to add some indicator to list what devices are then old known and what are just found with discovery.

2. I have seen "no name" issue only once. But yes, that's "stack problem"... I hope ;)

Anyway I think I have to try to add Mifare Classic support first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alump:
Sorry for spam, but finally this will be mine 8th post ;)

Request to list already paired devices is now added to Market version (0.3). So no need to turn already paired devices to pairing mode when writing tags.

Support for other than ultralight Mifare tags might take some time. Thanks to keys etc those tags are not ideal for this use. I think I will try to add headset support first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Northernmost:
Just to confirm that 0.3 is listing my paired A2DP devices :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] S suxeN:
Nexus S, running Brainmasters ICS 4.0.3

Bluetooth devices:

2 headsets

another Xperia ArcS

NFC Tag:

dont have a tag yet, but could get some. Dunno what kind they are!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alump:
My unofficial NFC tag type list (from memory, might have mistakes)

Mifare Ultralight C is my recommendation. If you plan to use this for this, or for example: storing your contact information, storing some url, storing application starter information etc.... Simple, cheap and easy to use alternative.

Mifare Ultralight (non C) is too small for almost anything. You can use it anyhow with my software (limited features) and you can fit sort URL to it.

Mifare 1K, Classic, etc... these are for more secure needs. Or if you really want to store a lot more information to the tag. For non secure usage (e.g. my app) the secure features are just annoying extra that makes things more complex. Key based security so if you mess up with key, then you can't read or replace that data anymore. Also kinda "proprietary alternative".

Felicas are Sony's alternative for all these. Probably not easy to find outside Japan. Topaz is good alternative for Ultralights, but I don't know how well Android supports those currently (haven't tested). And if Broascom/Innovision still makes these? Not too easy to find anyway. And then there are many more... it's a total mess and maybe the main reason why it's so hard for NFC to break big time.

But for the most of use cases: I assume Mifare Ultralight C is the best alternative.

NFC Tag store examples:

TagAge - I'm using this, but mainly because I live in Finland.

NFCDog - is one UK alternative.

And many more, Google search is your friend. And this message has't been paid by either of these stores ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] skeeterpro:
OK. Did a forum search and a Google search. I understand what Kies is but is it really necessary? Can connect via MTP now so no issue there. Did notice that latest firmware update fails (twice now) without kies. Will either kies or the update break root? (am doubting but am curious!)

thx
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kzoodroid:
Kies is just syncing software and applying an update will remove root. All you have to do is reflash the root.zip file in recovery and then update the su binary using the superuser app and you are rooted again. Kies isn't necessary you could update manually, that is if you can find the update file somewhere to download to your sdcard, then run it as an update through recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PaulieD:
Hello.

Dec 2011 - Here are a few camera issues that I've been experiencing with my new SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 Galaxy S II Skyrocket using the provided camera/video app:

Issue #1: Indoor photos.

Photos taken indoors (in "normal" lighting) typically look very dark. If the flash is engaged, the subject often appears with a blue tint.

Issue #2: MP4 playback audio/video issues.

After transferring video captures to my Windows 7 desktop pc (filetype is MP4), the video and audio are out of sync / not in sync / mis-aligned during playback. File size is a mere 30MB. This was true of Quicktime, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, etc.

Anyone else having a similar experience?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AequitasAbIrato:
I've had the same issue with the camera my roomate experiences the same issue. I haven't had the issues with the video though. For my camera quick fix I downloaded Camera ZOOM FX yesterday and the picture quality seems much better. Hope that helps, but I'm hoping for a legitimate fix too...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waiters:
Yeah the camera sucks.... That's all there is to say
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
If you are getting the blue photos you have a defective unit. I traded mine in and the new one takes much better pics...no blue tint
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] m4570d0n:
Has it been verified that it's a defective unit issue? I ask because I get the blue tint as well. Pictures also seem to come out dark in well lit areas. Alhough, the little widget size image priview it shows in the corner after the picture is taken looks correct, the image itself when viewed anywhere else looks dark.

I'm sure this as been answered 1000 times, but how might one go about restoring apps/data when switching to a new unit? If I make a copy of my rom, can I just flash it to the new unit?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] HionHiFi:
Same issue Here.

When I frame a photo it looks fine, but after the picture is taken it looks dark.

I'll try another camera program like Camera Zoom FX.

My lock screen controls are not working properly with the Music app.

When I press "Pause" on the lock screen after turning on the screen, the tap is registered but nothing happens for about 20 seconds. Then, the music will pause. Once I tap play, the music starts again immediately. Any time I tap pause/play it works fine, as long as the screen remains on the whole time. However, as soon as the screen turns off and I press pause again after turning on the screen, the same thing happens. Another 20 seconds before any reaction.

I tried uninstalling the updates for the Music app but the same thing happened.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

You have the GSM version which is pentaband. Although it is a engineering version, not sure why these are being sold but I don't think there are anything wrong with the phone.

So yes... you'll get 3G.
