[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotundjere:
So I want to implement Airpush ads on my app (because admob only give me very little).

But I only want to show the Airpush ads when the app is running (no background service / etc),

does anyone here know how to make this (perhaps some code to be modified on AndroidManifest.xml) ?

P.S: sorry for bad english :o
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Not real sure. Might want to ask the airpush developers. Just a word to the wise but people.tend to remove apps if they find it has airpush included in the app. I mean think about it. How many ad blockers apps are there? Alot because people hate ads. The best apps are ad free
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotundjere:
Actually first I also don't happy with Google with their web ads (Adsense, circa 2003-2004). Once the web is very clean (without ads), but after google Adsense, almost any site have ads (even XDA) :o

but let's face it, even TV has their own advertising long long time a go..

developers definitely need money, just like your local TV station showing good TV shows :rolleyes:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotundjere:
IMHO adblockers only works for people who already know XDA or flashing custom ROMs.

"most" people out there don't even know how to block airpush ads
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monolith Games:
i dont see ads

i have a custom rom on my galaxy s and yea, i would agree the majority of users dont know how to do that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
One would think that. I have dozens of people come into my store all the time asking how to get rid of the ads.

A simple Google search leads them here. That's why we are over 4 million users. Not to mention all the other android sites that tell people how to block them.

I mean if your set on those types of ads then get ahold of the developers that make airpush. Non are here as XDA doesn't support airpush ads at all.

And for the TV ref. I guess that's why I don't keep cable in the house. Lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotundjere:
I found other ads network (LeadBolt) that use notification ads but doesn't spam it's user. Will try that :)

I think Google Admob is cheating. They put ads fee $0.1 - $0.6 per click for advertiser,

but for app publisher they only give $0.01 - $0.02 per click :(

I know everybody hate Airpush,

but I think Airpush isn't evil as Google who try to steal money from app developers

:(

edited: recently I've checked admob allow advertiser to bid $0.01, but I still don't trust them. Admob will not give any real money for app devs
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.Bue:
Hi

I've used sgs2 with 2.3.6 and "% battery mod" a while and would just try 4.0.3 with "% battery mod" a few hours.

4.0.3 with "% battery mod" worked fine, but now I would like to return to my old 2.3.6 again

Now I can not get "% battery mod" to work more. Every time I have installed a "% battery mod" then either hang it or even go into the loop.

Every time I must use Odin and flash the phone again to get the phone to work again.

It seems as the "% battery mod" on 4.0.3 has done something, so I can not get "% battery mod" to 2.3.6 to work more.

Does anyone have a good idea for how I can get my "% battery mod" to 2.3.6 to work again?

Regards Peder
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
Go to recovery

Format /system /data and /cache

Wipe Dalvik-Cache

Reinstall 2.3.X ROM

Apply battery mod
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.Bue:
I will try that.

Thank you so much !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.Bue:
Hi again

It did not work !

I do :

Boot in my CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7

Wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

Go in "Advanced and Debbugging Menu"

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Wipe Battery Stats

Go in "Mount menu"

Format /system /data and /cache

Reinstall 2.3.6 ROM

It's look like it don't have cleanup from the 4.0.3 version, because

when my phone ring on 2.3.6, then I still have the new look from 4.0.3 version !!

It's not very good to have a mix of 2.3.6 and 4.0.3 , because sometime I got a kernel panic.

Is there another way to cleanup the phone ??

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chopes:
So now after a few months on the market. Is this phone still worth purchasing or is there something significantly better coming along within 3 months that will blow this out of the water. If the products that are coming out are comparable I still see this as a viable option for an upgrade from the Thunderbolt (or am I insane?).

Anyways, hope to get some feedback regarding this to assist. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] staticx57:
Kind of hard to answer since most new phones are announced at mobile world congress which is next month. As of this second on Verizon there is nothing better. You can argue the rezound is equal with each having pros and cons but nothing is in the pipeline yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chopes:
This Mobile world congress convention that you mentioned. The phones that are going to be announced here will still have release dates that are months away from the actual event right? So best case those 'new' phones will be coming out ~5-6 months from now or are they actually being released to the public at this event?

If the resound is the only comparable phone, the Verizon Galaxy Nexus does indeed still sound way better (for me at least).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G1-8701:
it depends on what your looking for, better hardware specs, pure android with great support with updates, or themed android with a lack of updates. Not saying those phones announced at CES are crappy, but if you want a phone that is guaranteed dev support/android updates then i'd recommend the Nexus. Yea they may have other phones that may beat it in hardware specs, but will those phones get the updates and the support that the nexus is and will be getting??? I seriously doubt it, not saying that they won't get support at all, but if u want the best experience of android, i'd recommend the nexus, i had the Epic 4g Touch(Galaxy S II) and i liked it, but i LOVE my nexus, it does everything i need it to, no complaints here, and the battery is great i get right at 2 days on one charge, u should get it, u won't regret it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chopes:
I am on the verge of pulling the pin and just getting it. Is the amount of development activity similar to what it was with the Nexus One (my last nexus phone)? I remember crack flashing nightly with all the goodies that were available. I took a looksey in the development forum (I will be with Verizon if I get it) and saw a few good things in there.

Are any of you guys currently running a custom ROM and if so, has the custom ROM development still in its infancy or is there some decent work being put out by all the developers (donations to custom developers are a part of the cost of the phone in my book :P)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lehoule:
Well the difference between stock 4.0.1 and AOKP+Franco was just ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
The Galaxy S III will probably blow the Nexus away, but who knows how long until it's released after it's announced at MWC. I don't really know the timeframes for that sort of thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xarthos:
If I was going to buy a phone today I would still get the Galaxy Nexus. 6 Months to a year from now will of course be a different story. If you live in the United States we always seem to wait forever for the best stuff. EU seems to be ahead of us when it comes to the latest and greatest phones.

Good Luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
Sure, for about 9 months. Then the GN gets Jellybean, or Jello, or whatever. Meanwhile the GS3 gets a "Value Pack" which is subsequently pulled before it's even done because Samsung wants to sell the GS4 to you. Vote with your wallet, and vote for hardware which will get 2 years of support. Even if you flash, having up-to-date drivers makes it a lot easier to build custom ROM's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Since you aren't living in the United States. MWC will announce Galaxy S3 and the U.S. will get it like 8 months later because each carrier wants something to "woo" their customers with exclusive features and all these small little variants of the Galaxy S3.

By the time that all comes out, it'll be launched with a old OS and Nexus 4 will be announced.

I stay committed to only Nexus devices simply because they will last longer. Especially with a great development community.

Sometimes, the community makes the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
I just checked it today :) hehe.

Information (I'll update as I find out more information):

ROM type: It's not a wipe rom as I installed over KIES. It left all my data as it was.

Install time: pretty fast, like any other ROM.

Speed of the phone: This build is FAST. I haven't had one slow down yet! For example, in whatsapp I've always had it load up and for every contact I have a picture. In my last build, I could see the list come up, but then every contact picture would load (and it took less than a second, but I could see the process go from no picture --> loading one by one, very quickly). Now they're all loaded instantly. No waiting. Applications start VERY fast, but I guess there is still some slowdown. Unlocking my phone is even faster than before. I believe the distance you have to drag (or maybe speed in which to move) has been reduced in turn reducing time to unlock.

Lag: OK. There's still some lag here and there. Overall I feel like it's faster. Hopefully more ROMs in the future will fix this.

Touch screen sensitivity:I find the screen sensitivity just fine. Very sensitive to be honest.

Battery life:will update after more usage

Update about battery life:

[Day 1 Statistics]

I had Endomondo on for an hour with GPS tracking / 3G / bluetooth wireless headset for music (55 minutes to be exact). A couple of phone calls as well for a total of maybe 35 minutes of phone calls (all over 3G). Wifi was on most of the day, as you can see. I've never had "awake time" this high before without having the screen on. I found that strange. I'll do a battery pull now, and hit the sack!

Something wrong with the keyboard. I use the T9 keyboard in portrait mode and now when it auto selects the next word, it does not get deleted if I type a new one.

Before it would show the word but if I pressed anything other than SPACE, the word would be replaced with the new one I am typing. Now it stays and my new word gets tacked on the end!!

I just changed to the qwerty keyboard and it seems to be related to the predict next word option. I have now disabled this for the present time. Rats!

NO, DBT only means free phone from Germany.

All of those who for example bought it from Amazon.de have this phone. It is absolutely free of carriers and customizations!!!

It has been said before but people keeps getting confused and confusing others!

It is very popular since it was one of the first places where it was early available.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
thanks will try this update as a last shot. was about to return my phone to amazon.de in the morning. they dont have stock anymore so no chance of replacement and only can get refund as per amazon.de help line. their next stock is only expected after 1-2months apparently as told to me today. so stuffed unless this update sorts the issues with my phone. (crashing restarting, wallpapers changing to original on its own, some apps laggy, file browser very laggy, video player crashing almost all the time and unusable, screen freezing and restarting etc).

will try this update, hope it works as i like the phone otherwise and will buy a note from elsewhere but atleast 50-100£ more expensive now elsewhere including amazonuk now. dont bother ordering on amazon.de now as i was told today by them next stock not sure when and at least 1-2months away. anyone who bought from there cant get replacement now and only repair or refund. i had emailed for replacement but reply says refund. same confirmed on phone call. the first customer service ***** that i got on my international call hung up on me!!!! the second chap on my next call was helpful even though he couldnt do anything as no stock. was told after they get phone back and process it may take upto 4weeks for refund! same said on website. so no phone and no money either.

Its LA4, But it was changes in LA3 update only.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naishadh:
Its ok not like La1 but average.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vrayhem:
I used Mobile Odin Pro to update the Firmware to LA4. I had KK9 previously rooted and with CWM 5.0 and it updated fine without wiping anything.

The changes I noticed are the following:

1) The wifi connection is much more stable and connects faster to known hotspots.

2) The signal strength has improved.

3) The lag that was evident has been reduced substantially.

4) The phone reboots much faster and unlocks faster.

5) Apps like Whatsapp work much better than before without lag.

6) Battery life has been about the same.

7) The touch is now more responsive than before as well as scrolling vertically.

8) The stock browser is a lot faster.

It is a vast improvement in all areas from KK9 to LA4 overall. Only issue is that CWM version 3.0 does not recognize the current kernel and some of its functions are not operational. However, that will hopefully be sorted out as soon as the CF version of the kernel is out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sbcdk:
LA3 worked smoother for me. Could be because I wiped after flashing LA3, but just installed LA4 on top, using Mobile Odin Pro.

Where did you get your phone from? Is it unlocked as well?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
i was about to send back my phone and get a refund on the old firm ware as was too laggy and crashing often. Couldnt get a replacement as amazon.de is out of stock and dont expect stock for a month or two.

but as a last ditch attempt before sending back the phone, i updated via kies to the latest software and the phone seems to have sorted out almost all its issues i had before.

has not crashed since update (yet).

phone seems zippier generally in scrolling and some apps.

wallpaper issues i had with live wallpapers freezing and crashing and rebooting phone seem to have gone now.

stock file browser seems zippier too and gives me the 'processing' overlay for a lot less time or it almost instantly disappears (but still there).

stock video player which was unusable earlier is usable now and no longer freezing or forceclosing

so am happy with the update as i dont have to return the phone and get a refund and buy the same phone from elsewhere for more money.

Might buy another one for the wife when prices come down or get the S3 or note2 instead when released and give her my note. Just an excuse for the next gadget but she will see through that one!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Skyman1:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raghav1980:
The reason Kies is not showing LA4 update is because its for German Notes. However, you can update your phone using PC Odin, just as I have done. Remember, this will not void any warranty or anything. Follow these steps:

1. Download PC Odin from here

2. Download the LA4 ROM from here

3. Unzip the file from step 2 using the password given in the thread.

4. Follow the steps mentioned in this link to update your phone using PC Odin. The steps shown in the link are for the KL7 update, however the procedure is generic & can be followed for LA4 too.

I always leave wifi on, because it saves a lot on battery. It's off when I leave home or the office. So when it's on, it's because I have wifi coverage.

MAJOR improvement: S Planner has a direct link with Maps

I Yesterday received two consecutive OTA updates which brought my phone from KK5 to KL7 and then immediately afterwards to LA4.

I am therefore not sure whether this change stems from KL7 or LA4, but I discovered a change / bug fix that for me represents a MAJOR improvement. In fact it finally solves my only real disappointment regarding the Note.

Considering the response I received earlier when posting about the missing link between events in the S Planner and Google Maps on the Note, I might be the only person that was bothered by this (even though I find this hard to believe).

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1446770

But anyway, since the updates I can now click on the location of an event in the S Planner, after which Google Maps is automatically fired up and directed to this location. Exactly as is the case for the standard Google Calendar (which is not installed or available for the Note).

So thank you a thousand times SAMSUNG
