So I'm getting back into college and an in-law told me for network security I need to make sure I get a book on TCPIP to read in advance. Of course there are plenty to choose from and that's the problem.

Anyone in that field (or studying currently) have a suggestion on one. Title, author, and edition would be very helpful too.

The light sensor on my evo 4g is very vague when I'm in a totally dark room brightness is at the top and when I go out the brightness increases. Any solution for this problem that does not involve third-party applications? :(:(:(:(:(:(

you can always deactivate auto brightness, and control it manually from settings.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devnulldroid:
I know its a 3rd party app but use Chainfire3d for this and toggle night mode..all sorts of colors too. Also if you dont like Chainfire3d, Widgetsoid also has a way to manually control settings and then lock 'em in. Example - 10/30/40, 20/40/60 etc. Just throwing it out there in case others may want to use 3rd party apps and have same question.

So im looking for something to reduce glare and control finger prints on this 8.9 tab. I remember buying one from sprint a long time ago for a 7" tab and its worked great.

Basically, im looking to give it a matte finish, reduce finger prints while not sacrificing view quality. So if anyone has tested something they liked or hated, please report back.

i tried looking for a screen protector when i got my device but none of the ones i looked at, even the ones in Best Buy were cut properly for the 8.9 The corners had the wrong curve and the camera placement was off
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] 0okami:
Yeah that's the same story i'm reading from online reviews of various products. I found one that has a good review, but they want 20.00 for one sheet. >_<

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] bdfull3r:
i never understood how they can get away with that kind of prices. it is a piece of plastic cut from a stencil, apparently from the wrong 8.9in tablet but still just a piece of plastic

i finally gave up, got a micro micro-fiber cloth and resigned myself to cleaning my screen every ten minutes

I installed the 3M NaturalView screen protector for my Galaxy Tab 8.9. It neither reduces glare or fingerprints. But, it does a great job protecting the screen.

And I learned a really neat trick for removing those little bits of dust from under the screen after installation (from a youtube video for this product). Basically, just use a piece of scotch tape to lift a corner of the screen protector nearest the lint. Then use a second piece of scotch tape to collect the lint while the screen protector is lifted up. With a little patience, you can get EVERY bit of dust removed. After learning this trick, I went back and fixed my Galaxy Nexus screen protector too! :)

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] jryuuu:
what an awesome tip.. i hate when that happens and you use your finger to pick up the edges and u get finger prints on the inside. i'll have to try this in the future..
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] HDCS:
I've put Zagg covers on my phones, an iPad, several iPhones, and my Xoom. The material has been fantastic on all of them. The only caveats are that it does require some serious patience, very clean hands, and fastidiously dust free surface to work on. On larger devices, it is more challenging to get on just right. But it will last the life of the device and protect like nothing else I've found so far.

zergRush doesn't install CWM recovery. You'll need to use an app/odin to flash a kernel which includes CWM, as you currently have stock recovery.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksantoshh:
Bro , You will lose warranty if you flash the CWM recovery. The retail device come with Stock recovery and not CWM recovery. You can always root your phone , if something goes wrong, there is always ODIN to flash back to Stock ROM . You will be back to orginal shipped device . Get a USG jib, will come handy :-)

Hey, Is it possible to buy colored battery covers for the Nexus S?

A red one will look gooood on the back of my black phone :D

Thanks
[Nexus S Accessories] nothsa:
I was looking for one a while ago, but I couldn't find one that had a NFC on it. The Near Field Communicator is attached to the back cover, so you will lose that functionality if you don't get a cover that has a NFC on it.
[Nexus S Accessories] Lirankn:
I honestly don't care about the NFC and I don't think I'll ever use it..

Can you tell me what exactly you searched to find it or if you know someone that sells it?
[Nexus S Accessories] demo23019:
I wants non glossy black

Hate gloss just a fingerprint magnet and gets all sweaty in hand

I'm surprised no alternative covers

I've looked before bit no luck

Got a thin case but still would like cover
[Nexus S Accessories] Evo_Shift:
I think the Chinese have been reluctant to make too many due to the loss of NFC if you use a cheap door.

I would buy some spray paint designed for plastic (they sell it at auto part shops. I'd buy the primer too) and sand the cover door and apply a bunch of real thin coats of paint, sanding with real fine sandpaper between each coat, until it was as smooth as I wanted. You could buy flat paint or whatever so it wasn't as glossy too. Though fingerprints wouldn't be as noticeable on a lighter color or one not quite so reflective as black.
[Nexus S Accessories] IIIV:
Just get one of those Gelaskins or Bodyguardz Carbon Fiber skins <- I just got this and it looks and feels awesome.
[Nexus S Accessories] Viper780:
is there any Battery cover _without_ NFC?
[Nexus S Accessories] funkiefresh:
I haven't seen any for sale aside from the standard black or white ones.

Spray paint and clear coat the stock one.
[Nexus S Accessories] Viper780:
the standard ones are fine for me, but i want one (or in this case two) without NFC because the radio signal is very poor on the Nexus S. But when you remove the back battery door it has one of the best signals i've ever seen on an smartphone
[Nexus S Accessories] konkostis:
I tested by myself and you're right...

But why does this happen?

Have you tested that having turned off the NFC?
[Nexus S Accessories] agentbardall:
back covers

so has any1 managed find any if so is there any you would reccomend :D
[Nexus S Accessories] Viper780:
sure iv'e tested it with NFC off, not big difference to NFC on. Its because the NFC antenna in the Cover is very Big and shields the other frequencys to good.

I'm still searching for an Bat. cover without NFC. Any links or recommendations?

Hi there,

My Nexus S updated it self a few days ago to Ice Cream Sandwich and all of a sudden I'm getting "android.process.acore". I've searched the forum. Most are suggesting removing Google+ 2.0 - but how do I remove it? Checked under System, but can't find any google+ apk :(

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neko123:
My Nexus S came across with this same problem after updating to Ice Cream Sandwich. Google led me to this thread and also the following solution. Luckily the problem of my cellphone has been solved after these steps.

Step by step:

0. Make sure Sync is off, leave it off for some time!

1. Go into settings

2. Select Applications

3. Select Manage Applications

4. (If you are on 2.2) Select the All tab

5. Scroll down until you find Contacts Storage (select it).

6. Wipe data+clear cache(If available)

7. Hit back

8. Scroll down until you find Google Services Framework (select it)

9. Wipe data+clear cache (if available)

10. Reboot and enjoy

Enable sync again when your convinced that the error has gone.

Okay, you must follow these videos in order to root the Galaxy Nexus.

First you will need the Android SDK if you don't have it already. Get it here:

Right now I am using Google music 4.1.5. The problem is that Google music fails to omit directories that contain .nomedia file, so sound files that some other apps rely on are also included in my music library. Does anyone have some kind of a workaround?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malchom:
I am also trying to achieve this, my podcasts (and boy do I have a lot of those) show up on gMusic and make shuffle overly annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dennishylau:
Hmm did some extensive searching on Google and still no clue. Do people not shuffle their music library?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marky9074:
Not just music.. stock gallery ignores .nomedia files in directories you are trying to omit too :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
you guys must have a bug or are doing something wrong. .nomedia working just fine in my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marky9074:
.nomedia is working fine for me for anything other than stock apps... for example mx player doesn't show my videos now I have .nomedia in my video folder (in fact this was the complete opposite of what I wanted to happen, when I was trying to hide them from gallery)....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
well heres my situation.

i prefer using rings extended for picking my ringtones, downside is that it also shows all my music, which is annoying.

since i use poweramp, i can pick folders and even if they have .nomedia in them poweramp will work just fine.

so i have a .nomedia file on my Music folder. Google Music now does not display any of the music in my music folder, and poweramp can still play everything. and rings extended only shows what i want it to show, my ringtones folder.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marky9074:
Hmm maybe its a cache thing.. I just renamed my Video folder to .Video used 'Rescan media root' and it had disappeared from gallery, then renamed it back and the .nomedia now seems to work...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dennishylau:
Okay today I have got some free time so I did a logcat to see what the heck is going on when Google Music launches. Unfortunately I am not a developer so I can only take a wide guess on what the following extracts of log mean.

The two directories that I want to omit are:

/mnt/sdcard/Mobile Systems/

/mnt/sdcard/HiFiRecordings/

So this is what I got:

Then awhile later:

In the first extract:

First the usual media scan thingy, got my sad_panda.png in my sdcard. Everything works alright.

Then something called "FolderScanner" kicks in, /mnt/sdcard/Mobile Systems/ and /mnt/sdcard/HiFiRecordings/ are set to fastScan=true, so these two directories will be scanned afterwards.

In the second extract:

The FolderScanner knows that there are sound files in the two directories, so it comes back and scan for actual files, in this case a total of 28 files in the two directories.

So now the problem is how to make fastScan=false in the first place so that those files won't be picked up during the second part of the scan?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dennishylau:
Hmm seems right. I did a little test on this. I put some sound files in a folder, let Google Music recognize them, then delete the files. The files still show up in Google Music, even after a reboot, just that when I try to play the files there will be a popup saying "Can't play the requested track..." or something like that.

So in the mean time the only workaround is to:

1) add a "." in front of the name of the folder

2) transfer the folder to phone

3) launch Google music

4) force quit Google music

5) remove the "." in folder name

in order to fool the Google music app into believing that there is nothing for it to scan. Awesome. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krige:
I used the same trick and it worked. I didn't need to "rescan media root". Where is that by the way? I couldn't find it.

Do you think it's a bug? Shouldn't we report it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SalsaForte:
I've installed BeyondPod to replace Google Listen and I noticed the same issue. Google Music is scanning/seeing my podcasts even if I have created a .nomedia file in the BeyondPod folder. :'(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ronsalvador:
check your back ups. I just did and I have another set of audio tracks on my SD card and internal storage, that's why I thought it was not working. Oh, I just downloaded an app to generate .nomedia in Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sturmtiger:
Hey there... Just answering to the most actual related thread...

I have the same problem with a fresh 4.2.1 Stock-ROM (rooted) on my GNex...

Just want to hide my Whatsapp-Media (Videos/Pictures) from Stock Gallery... And it's really annoying... put a .nomedia in the Whatsapp-Folder and in EVERY subFolder... Nothing works...

Then I tried the small workaround... Generate a .nomedia, rename the Folder, start Gallery (and the Folder with the .nomedia really dissappears!), and rename the Folder again to the original name. And it keeps hidden, until there are no new files... If I get or send a new picture, it's there again... :mad:

And I don't wanna use 3rd-party-Apps for this "basic" feature to hide some stuff...

Greetings,

Alex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bennyp123:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akneen:
Google Play ignoring .nomedia files [FIXED]

I had the same problem with Google Play seemingly ignoring the .nomedia files and displaying the podcast files from BeyondPod.

This post helped me understand what was going on and fix it:

groups(dawt)google(dawt)com/d/msg/beyondpod/m4UvMhdbqOc/GzE5hyQ7SxoJ

..it sounds like BeyondPod is passing new podcast files to the Android Media Scanner to obtain info about the file, and the Media Scanner is adding it to the list of available media. In some versions of Andoird the Media Scanner would then delete the file if BeyondPod tried to delete the entry in the Media Scanner database, so changing these settings in BeyondPod made it so that BeyondPod moves the file to a temp file name before it deletes the Media Scanner database entry and then renames it back:

1) in BeyondPod Settings -> Playlist and Widget Settings : uncheck "Share Podcasts"

2) in BeyondPod Settings -> "Advanced Settings" (in menu) : check "Patch Media Scanner"

good luck!
