[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
Hey, not sure if this is the right place to post this but im using adw launcher ex on my razr and the icon text I squished. I've gone through the settings to see what I could adjust but didn't come across anything that could possibly fix it. Any suggestion. A pic is attached.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
ADW is designed to show them like that.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
Really? Seems like an odd way to have things laid out. Is there anyway to change this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Sure is a way to change it, I'm not a fan of it either.

ADW Settings -> UI Settings -> Icons -> Untick 'New Icons'.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
OMG thanks so much!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] giluriel:
Well, I know this thread is old but I ran into the same problem.

Unticking "New icons" really solves the "messy" icons text but .. It keeps labels in one row which cuts on the sides.

Is there any way to get the icons test in two regular rows ?

Thanks,

Gil
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hfcobra:
I know that this is a really lame question but I was wondering if one offers a "better" charge? USB charges very slowly compared to the wall charger so I dont want to use it unless I have to.

Also, why does the car charger have a USB hub for the charging cable that comes with the phone if it has a micro USB hub on the end of the cable that is connected to the charger anyways? That is just redundant, is it not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takaides:
The wall charger will charge faster... As for 'better'? A charged battery is a charged battery. If you charge it faster than the wall charger allows, there's a potential for overloading the battery (though there should be safeguards to prevent explosive results). But the wall charger is what I'd suggest.

As for the car charger, it's to allow multiple devices. Micro USB for your phone, and a USB port to plug in anything else that might need it (like an iPad or something). If you don't have 2 devices, ignore the USB port and just use the micro USB connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hfcobra:
Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cheyse:
Most USB-based charging only goes at 500mA, where as the OEM charger is about 1.5 amps (1500mA). You can find some 2.0A USB car chargers on eBay / Amazon for fairly cheap. They're worth it to get a full charge if you are in a hurry or have a short commute.

Here's one that's 2.1A for $9.99 on Amazon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wanderfowl:
I've noticed that it chargers obscenely quickly with the little OEM charger. Any idea where to buy more of those (or more similarly powerful chargers?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cheyse:
Amazon/eBay is your friend. You can find plenty of 2amp USB chargers for like $9 with free shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wanderfowl:
Silly question, but as long as it's a 5 volt 2 amp MicroUSB charger, it'll work? I just don't want to fry my phone using some incompatible charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cheyse:
yeah that should work. All Modern day phones have a voltage regulator to stop overcharging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigknowz:
Warning: iPad Charger

I tried using the iPad charger yesterday and that didn't work out very well. My phone turned off and didn't charge. I couldn't turn it back on, had to do a battery pull to get it going again.

Not sure if this is an isolated incident or not, but I'm going to stick with my Nexus and/or USB charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I used an iPad charger a month ago and the phone only charged 40% over seven hours and when I picked it up it was scorching hot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] palisaide:
It makes sense that your phone got hot. When using the stock charger (or any charger with a current rating of 1A or less), the charger is the one that is limiting the current to the battery, so the current-limiting circuit in the phone is not necessarily active and therefore not generating much heat. However, when using the iPad charger (which is rated around 2.5A, I think), the current-limiting circuit in the charger is not active because the 1A or so that the phone is drawing is well within the rating of the charger. Therefore in this case, the current-limiting circuit in the phone needs to actively limit the current and thereby generate a lot of heat.

I personally think that it's better to just use a charger that has a similar current rating to the stock charger. I higher-rated one might charge the battery just fine, but I'd rather keep all of that heat in the charger and away from the battery. Although, of course I could be mistaken -- feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
[Kindle Fire General] ToxicCosmos:
I hope I'm in the right forum; I debated on where to ask this.

So I'm using Skifta and MoboPlayer to stream videos from my home network onto my KF. It works great. The only problem I have now is that many of my videos have subtitles (srt files) but they won't play. I also tried using VLC instead of MoboPlayer, but that didn't work at all (wouldn't play any of my video files). Maybe Mobo isn't the problem? I don't know very much about this. Any ideas on how to get the subtitles working would be great. :]
[Kindle Fire General] e.mote:
For Skifta: http://forums.skifta.com/topic/subtitles

Mobo can't see external subs (may be embedded) when streaming. Use ES File Explorer to access the network share, and Mobo and other video players will play subs (ext or embedded) when using this SMB/CIFS mode.
[Kindle Fire General] screwyluie:
Emit works, with srt files, and over the Internet as well as at home
[Kindle Fire General] ToxicCosmos:
Thanks for the reply. How would I use ES File Explorer to access my network? I looked around but wasn't sure where to find it.

Thanks for the reply.

Would this be used instead of MoboPlayer or Skifta?

I'll e.mote's suggestion for now, since it won't cost me anything. If that doesn't work, I'll try buying Emit and using that. :]
[Kindle Fire General] ToxicCosmos:
Accidental double post...
[Kindle Fire General] screwyluie:
Instead of both, with emit the default player will work fine, but it mostly replaces skifta, there is a free version you can test out, its well worth the 3 bucks or whatever it is
[Kindle Fire General] e.mote:
From ES' menu, select Show Tabs, then select LAN (you can also swipe the listing left/right to switch tabs). From here, set up connection to your network share.

Alternatively, use CIFSManager (free on Market) to set up a mount for a network share. This allows network files to be accessible to any app or file manager.

A streaming server is good for watching videos outside of your home, since most can be configured to fit your connection's upload bandwidth (typically very limited). When within your home, SMB/CIFS connection is more versatile. Subs work w/o issue, video quality is better, and seeking is much more responsive.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] djxpress:
Wondering if anyone else has noticed this when you go into a contact, there are two Facebook icons in the "Joined contacts" section of the contact info? I only have one Facebook account. I've installed the Facebook app but I've also added my Facebook account directly into the Social Hub app, so it shows in my accounts that I have a regular Facebook account and then a Social Hub for Facebook account. Could the Skyrocket be pulling my contact list separately from both of these "accounts" even though it's the same account?

On another note, when I've unjoined a contact who has multiple accounts I'll see one of the accounts is a green icon with a little white head in it, the account says Unknown. Anyone know what this is?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flexaka:
Wednesday we presented you with the first beta release today the second firmware for the Galaxy S II.

This rom still a CUSTOM build by Samsung and still with TW.

Samsung created this firmware on December 8 2011.

As you all may know we only offer stock ROMs so you will not find this firmware on our usual firmware page.

This rom is a bit faster but still with a lot of bugs.

I9100XXKP2 hotfile.com/dl/137825514/71f0196/I9100XXKP2_SamMobile.com_Android_4.0.1_CUSTOM.rar.html

Pass: samfirmware.com

HowTo flash.

ODIN + .PIT + PDA/CODE file.

Again if you only flash STOCK ROMs then dont flash this.

Because you flash this rom with “unsecure” kernel the phone thinks its “CUSTOM”and will start counting on your custom counter.

You will loose your warranty because of this.

So after i unlocked and flashed a new room everything was great for about an hour.

I pulled it out of my pocket and bam super messed up. The picture does not do it justice on how washed out it is but the black line is visible.

I have since flashed stock rom and re-locked to no avail

Has anyone else had this happen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Live2Follow:
Well I very into getting the Nexus, and I've been disappointed with Sprint speeds, but I am happy with my Epic Touch. So I've been mulling over a few things.

Data cap: I've monitored my data usage. I rarely go over 3GB. I do heavy audio streaming, but not video. The promise of unlimited data is nice, but when you can't stream audio and retain background processes. That's a shame. Currently Verizon is offering double data for the rest of the month if you sign up with an LTE phone. I live in an LTE area.

Reference: http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/07/verizon-to-begin-offering-double-the-data-for-your-buck-tomorrow/

Moving to a different company: Verizon is announcing a switch bait to move from another carrier, and this also applies to my area. $300 dollars (not sure of restrictions) to jump ship.

Reference: http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/18/verizon-wireless-kicks-off-trade-in-program-for-southern-us-resi/

I have dual residence, where I work and where I go to school. Where I go to school does not have Sprint service, so I am sure I can get the ETF fee waived.

The Galaxy Nexus: I love my Epic, but it isn't a Google phone. I'm sure we will get unadulterated ICS at some point. I am not sure about moving from SAMOLED to Pentile screen. I need to go inspect in person.

Price: I am a school employee and receive a 20% discount across all services. This translates into about a $10 increase per month by moving to Verizon from Sprint.

What would you do? If I fail to get the ETF waived, then I am going to pay the price. I have thought about it, and can't think of many downsides. Can you guys think of any. This isn't a convince me thread. This is an open analysis.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
It is also a SAMOLED. It is nearly identical to our panel in size and it has the absolutely identical amount of sub-pixels as our panel except they make a pixel out of 5 sub-pixels and ours uses 12. I don't think the problems that have plagued much lower resolution pentile sub-pixel panels in the past will be a problem at such an insane density...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
This is like a sell your soul scenario for an inferior phone. It'll eventually be available for the GSM carriers as well, I dont know what the huge rush is to get nickled and dimed to death by VZW. I'd at least wait for T-mobile, for what $20 more than sprint? And still get a pseudo unlimited data incentive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Verizon throttles you to 1x speeds after 2gb just so you know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Live2Follow:
They would throttle after 4, as per the plan that I would get.

Well, speed and coverage is an honest issue.

I went with Sprint initially for the savings. I'm not completely sold on leaving. Thanks for the info.

I wouldn't say the phone is inferior though.

Hmmm, I don't like the nickel and diming potential by Verizon. That is what scares me most.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Having blazing data is very appealing though, but you gotta pay to play.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
The GN isn't ready for prime time yet on Verizon. There's already reports of touch screen issues and poor signal and data loss, and low volume lol. It's gonna need some time for updates and fixes. Just Google "galaxy nexus issues", it made into all the big tech blogs much faster than the Epic Touch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
apparently the Verizon nexus has atrocious battery life, 4 hours or less on LTE. 3g data speeds on Verizon aren't that great 500-1500kbps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 05GT:
I have the GS2 with Sprint, and I purchased the GNx because I was simply tired of the slow speeds with Sprint.

I pay $85 a month and get 4GB of data since they are running their current promotion. The phone isn't much of an upgrade over the GS2, but the network is well worth it. I'm holding on to my GS2 because it only costs me $30 a month.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
I was actually in the Verizon store just the other day in Times Square playing with the nexus, when I decided to do a speed test against my phone at the same time. The 4g, with full reception, was 4 times slower on the nexus than the epic. The results were 400kB/s on the nexus, compared to 1547kB/s on the epic touch. I'm sure LTE is faster, but these results are implying that it can't a handle high volume of users as well as wimax can. At the end of the day, actual results are more important than maximum potential results.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Live2Follow:
All valid a good points.

I'm not really thinking of switching for the nexus. Just the network and coverage. The nexus is just their best offering.

I switched from tmo for the same concerns. Albeit coverage was a bigger concern than speed ever was.

Lots to think about.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Very tempting, but Verizon is like an extra $80/month than my current Sprint plan, and I heard the Galaxy Nexus has speakerphone issues (which is exactly why I took my EVO 3D back). The biggest thing that makes this tempting is that Verizon pulls 20 mbps DL in my house on LTE. :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Live2Follow:
It was, until I found out they don't really give you anything for your phone. I might try and hustle the sales rep. I've decided that I'll do it if I walk out paying nothing up front, and remain within 10 dollars of my Sprint bill.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
I would say that's good compared to what a lot report with Sprint (thankfully I'm not one hampered by data speeds).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asqwrd:
I have both now just to compare and i have to say that the epic and the nexus are pretty much the same. But verizon's network is way better for me than sprint is honestly. I get coverage in places where my epic roamed or just pretty much had nuthin. I tested during peak hours and the nexus pulled over 1mb on 3g and my epic pulled 60-100kb. The data caps are not an issue for me cuz im on wifi most of the day anyway so even with sprint i barely used 1gb evey month. I was honestly tired of sprints speed and need a more reliable network here in the bay area and also its a bit refreshing to have a phone that u know will be updated and see a lot of development but to each there own. Im keeping my sprint line open because of the network vision and honestly if i see good enough improvements ill come back to sprint because of the prices. Otherwise I will prolly stick with vzw if sprint dont get its act together
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ben's:
The review engadget did along side of another phone and tablet, said the GN got just above 1600 in Quadrant Standard to our D-710s reaching 3200, is this true? While I know these are just synthetic benchmarks, I can't imagine the performance of the " next big phone " is half of what ours is?!

1. It releases tomorrow as in Monday the 19th lol

2. No one can give a "solid" receiving date

a. I preordered mine late (the 14th) and since then the site I preordered from has changed the shipping date twice now....

I don't know much about the other tablet or event the TF101 (the OG Transformer) but the TF201 (the Prime) is going to be sick once I get my hands on it. It is 499 for the 32GB and has an SD card slot :)

I purchased Wildfire S a few days back. (Android -2.3.3 / Kernel - 2.6.35.10 ). It came with 2GB card. Since I wanted more memory, I purchased 8GB card (Class 4) and tried to insert in the slot. But when I turned on the phone, the card was not accessible. I again re-inserted it, this time, Wildfire informed me that 7.4GB SD card is available. But when I tried to transfer the data from my laptop, all of a sudden message of "SD Card not available" flashed on the screen. I tried re-inserting / rebooting 2 or 3 times but I was unable to use it. When I switched back to the original (2GB) card, it's working perfectly fine.

Am I missing something?:o
[Wildfire General] Alex_GP:
Probably the card is dead. Try it in another phone, or in a card reader, if you have one handy.

If it has warranty, try to get a replacement.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exel:
You mean COM 3, COM 5? It doesn't matter, as long as it's yellow and it reads your phone.

But, you don't have to flash back to stock to go back to CM7 from ICS Passion.

Do this;

1. Download a CM7 Kernel. (EB-Steamline)

2. Flash it via CWM.

3. Reboot your phone.

4. It'll get stuck at the EB-Production screen.

5. Pull battery, and use the three button combo to go to recovery.

6. Flash CM7 ROM.

7. Enjoy.
