[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] glhs509:
Note that beta 7 has been running fine over here since it was released, on the SGS2 profile. I tried beta 11 a couple weeks ago and for some reason had trouble connecting.

Is there something tweaked in the latest beta and/or profile change?

Also, not sure why you've renamed the file attached, since you've confused things a bit...in your text, you refer to "beta 113", which is the experimental version (Dec 28). The attached apk filename implies a date of Jan 12, which is the featured "beta 11" release date.

renaiming donst mean anything.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scuzzbag87:
How is it 5x faster please explain. The built in tether works fine for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joselarajan87:
install this apk and you will see how faster it goes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkside79:
Works good. Any reason not to select the Galaxy S2 profile? Its also in the profile! Thanks a million!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] glensta:
I'd leave the settings as stock. Works well for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joselarajan87:
dosnt work with that profile, thats why you have to choose the epic touch 4g so it can work good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crz6662:
Will check this out. Used to Tether all the time after dropping Comcast. Got Verizon now for a hell of a lot cheaper, although less of the good channels. 5 times faster? Have to check this out....

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scuzzbag87:
Don't really see much difference than the stock. Does this one transmit more power?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Thanks, not much of a difference but I definitely see SOME improvement.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeatyMcSausage:
I've gone through 3 nook colors by now because the recharger cable continuously breaks and best buy refuses to simply replace the cable and instead replaces the ENTIRE SYSTEM (I guess it makes sense from their point of view), so I'm pretty experienced when it comes to rooting and un-rooting/factory resetting the nook, and when I received my latest one I decided to try a dual boot after being slightly impressed by the 1.4 update and enticed by the numerous comics now available on the nook store.

I used this method manually rooting the nook after repartitioning the internal data to the pre-blue dot packages, and finally booted up my old backup through a CWM flashable sd card, then unmounting the sd card while in CWM and then mounting my data SD card. Everything was working really well, and I was very pleased with my nook and it's improved performance and accessibility to the much better stock reading software, while still being able to access kindle and other games

But then, after leaving it alone for a couple of days, i booted it up to play some fruit ninja, and suddenly my nook was unable to read the sd card. It said the card needed to be formatted, and that unreadable file types were found, and oddly enough the stock OS said this as well. Then after a couple of reboots, it could read the SD card just fine. But then, many apps started either freezing on boot, or immediately closing on startup. I tried to boot into CWM recovery, but I kept getting an installation failed screen, and after flashing CWM i was finally able to boot into it just fine.

My only problem now is occasionally apps will again close or freeze, and occasionally the system will reboot by itself or simply force shutdown. Also, it says that my 8gb data SD card has no free space which conflicts with my 385 mb when I plug it into my computer. I'm a little confused.

If anyone could help with my app problems, that would be much appreciated.

Also, Can someone explain the differences between the Internal Storage, /mnt/emmc, and /mnt/usbdisk. I'm confused on what their purpose is considering their different data, and where the dual boot roms are stored.

Thanks and Cheers

You have mentioned about "dual boot".

What is the other ROM you are running now?

What is your uSD brand?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mindstar1:
Hey guys, feel free to chew me out for this having been asked a million times but the other instances of this question always confuse me a bit so I wanted to ask for myself.

I was hoping someone could tell me how to return to rooted stock rather than running a custom rom. Also, once I return to stock, how do I get updates of the newest android software? Does a rooted gnex still get ota like our non root friends?

Please go easy on me for asking a question that I know has been answered before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
The easy way for you might be to check out mskip's tool kit found in dev section sticky http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392310. With it you can flash back to stock rom when you download it from Google directly http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html (make sure you choose the LTE one or GSM if thats what you need and choose the latest version) and place it in the appropriate location on your PC. Flashing is simple and should take just a few key presses but you need to install the drivers to work the program which are included, all this is included in mskips post and instructions.

So when your back to stock rom you will be able to get OTA notification again, what stops OTA notification happening is non stock rom (custom rom) , non original boot loader and custom recovery (clockwork mod recovery for example). So provided you go to stock rom, keep the boot loader version and recovery stock as included in the downloaded rom from Google site you should be OK to receive updates directly from Google. Root will allow OTA but bear in mind after OTA update completes you will loose root.

I hope this helps you out :)
[Kindle Fire General] xfog:
Trying to consolidate information I was looking for so it can help others. Please suggest additions and corrections.

What do I lose if I:

Root

- amazon VOD (including free Prime rentals)*

- your warranty (if you brick your Fire)

Install CM7

- everything from Root list

- carousel launcher

- Kindle owners lending library

- Kindle Fire Reader app (must use standard app instead)

- newsstand subscriptions (requires official reader app)

Install CM9

- everything from CM7 list

- netflix

- possible "sleep of death"

The "Silk" browser has been ported to use on non-stock Roms.

Other things I'm not yet sure about: the send-to-kindle program/email address, stability of CM9, etc. A similar list of what is gained by each could also be useful, as long as it is kept brief.

*afaik you can "unroot" at any time to re-allow this (use rootkeeper)

Updated 2/18/12
[Kindle Fire General] ST3P_2:
Silk now has a port that can be installed on other ROMS. Also about the warranty, in most cases, they don't cover if you brick the device but they do cover if the charge port, power button, etc breaks.
[Kindle Fire General] xfog:
Thanks, I updated the OP with your info. :thumbup:
[Kindle Fire General] dieandromeda:
there are many to be listed, lockscreen, amazon market, etc.. is it necessary to create a thread like this?.
[Kindle Fire General] Ummagumma:
Please explain the Kindle Reader part for me. I was able to install KR on Nexus tablet and it shows my cloud books, wouldn't it work on a rooted Fire ?

I want to root Fire so that I could use Google Play and Swype, but it's a wife's device, primarily, and I don't want to screw it up for her. We don't have Prime, mainly getting library books.

Also, how easy is it to reload stock Amazon ROM ?
[Kindle Fire General] p4trykx:
After rooting you can install OTA Root Keeper and temporarily disable root so you can watch Prime video. If you need root for some reason you just enable it again.

There is also a possibility to dual boot and have stock rom and some other one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CM9onmyMoPho:
I got an Atrix 2, installed one of lfaber06's ROMs, SuperCharged v5. I just booted up my phone today, which is my 2nd day with my phone. When it was done booting up, I unlocked the screen, and it said something about a 10 day trial about CityID. Could somebody provide more information? Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
Cityid is sort of like caller id for incoming calls, except it only provides city. Chances are the only way to get rid of it is to root and freeze, but if you just ignore it it shouldn't nag you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CM9onmyMoPho:
Erm, is there any subscription fee involved? I'm not entirely sure because it mentioned something about a trial, but I closed it too quickly to notice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronTechmonkey:
CityID has potential (for some folks) however the way it has been instituted makes it stand out as a malfeasant bit of bloat even amidst a sea of unwanted proprietary provider forced apps.

There are conditions that may cause the trial period to reset and the pop-up interferes with use of the phone - not an insignificant problem for mobile p-h-o-n-e-s.

As for "removing" it, the official answer from Cequint (maker of City ID) is to have them send an SMS message to your phone, but you can do it manually at Settings-Apps-All-CityID-disable. This is also probably what happens at the end of the trial period. In any event I recommend waiting until the trial is over if you can before disabling it.

Grrrrrr - this makes me want to root like a pig in slop!

AT&T Motorola Atrix HD Android v4.1.1

Addendum: The City ID trial ended but the program was still running so I disabled it. Still lives on phone but using no resources other than some storage space.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jlobodroid:
We just receive the last stock room PDA: P7300XWLA2, does anybody test it? I have motley kernel and to be honest charge tab by usb change my life :D but I dont know if I update room I can use this custom kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
Sure. LA2 is still Android 3.2 and even if the kernel gets overwritten by the stock one, you just reinstall with CWM Recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jlobodroid:
Thanks a lot for your help. I'll make my backups and fire the tab :-)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jlobodroid:
WLA2 appears to use less battery then othes Roms I tried, I used for some days before install motley's kernel, now

I overclock again and set script to provide usb charge, my tablet tasted 1.2GHz with no crashes, I prefer this

way, stable.

[HTC Sensation] tk_xda:
I often see the GPS satellite symbol showing activity like some app is using my GPS when I dont have a GPS or navigation related app open. How can I tell what active process is using GPS at a given moment?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
Why don't you just disable it?
[HTC Sensation] tk_xda:
Because I want GPS to be ready when I do open a nav app. And I am curious if there's a way to tell what is using it.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Go to menu-system apps-running...

List all you have running when you see that gps symbol. My guess is that you may be signed into google latitude.

If it is latitude, go to google maps, settings, and somewhere in there is an option to sign out of latitude.
[HTC Sensation] chadmd23:
Its not latitude. Google sets GPS to sleep when apps are running in the background. Third party developers aren't as good as Google.

Anyone have a real answer and not a guess?
[HTC Sensation] sunsero:
Searched very long for a solution and it was quite hard to find the solution working without root, so I'll post it here:

Get the app "GSAM Battery Monitor" from Google Play, on GSAM's start screen select "Application Usage",

then on top of the screen select to view the used GPS time.

Well, this doesn't show which app is using GPS right now but you can see how much time each app actually activated GPS since the last battery charge, so this is very helpful to determine the apps using GPS in the background.
[HTC Sensation] abachhd:
Hi

Even if your gps is turned on, it dosen't necessarily means that gps is being used. Use Spare Parts app from play store and it'll show you what all apps used gps since you last plugged in your phone charger. And yes, don't use this app while your phone is being charged...otherwise the readings gets resetted.

Also, the android os uses gps continually, like the camera app, gallery app etc.
[HTC Sensation] d1one:
Hi i want also ask about usages of my GPS and CPU

Is there some tool which tells me what process used CPU and what used GPS?

I know last hour of graph could be facebook, but till that time was no activity.
[HTC Sensation] sunsero:
Hi,

yes there is: GSAM battery monitor - please read my post above on how to find out with it which app used the GPS for how long
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
Ok sorry for an extra post. Since I was going off topic in my 4G issues thread I am posting this.

I'm just noticing an anti glare type coating on the rezound screen. I notice stuff on the whole screen when looking at it from an Angle and a bit less from normal viewing, but its still there. My Droid incredible doesn't have this on the screen. Really buggs me. I hate anti glare coating on anything and I prefer the clear screens of tv, monitor etc even with glare. What I am referring to looks a lot like anti glare coating.

This really irks me. I just tried the Rezound last week, then iPhone 4s for a day then nexus yesterday and now the Rezound again. I didn't pay attention to my first Rezound so I didn't notice the screen. But since I wasn't wowed by it I guess now I know why.

So darn. I dunno what to do now. Nexus radio sucks so worse 4G and mostly 3g at home. Crummy low volume speaker on it. Web browser didn't text reflow as reliably as it should. Then this morning the keyboard was pausing every couple letters. So I took it back. Screen did not have the same coating I'm referring to on the Rezound. Plus monopoly had sound problem and major touch accuracy problems. So I got this Rezound because overall I think I preferred it. But now there's this coat on the screen that looks exactly like anti glare coating.

Sigh. And lol for everything I've been through so far, lol. It's ok and understandable you guys get a laugh here.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
i dont see any problem with the screen... maybe just dont look from the side?
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
Yer right. It's not a problem. Not technical etc. It's just personal preference. It irks me so much just knowing its there. Plus I see it no matter where I look. It's just more noticable from the side, that's all. I have mental issues with stuff, like minor well anyway, don't need to have to say. Just knowing its there bothers me. And the screen doesn't look as good to me as it would look clearer without it.

So I'm guessing I'm hosed and ill probably take it back tomorrow for a refund unless I see a Rezound there without the coating. If not I guess I won't get another anything. Bummer.
[HTC Rezound] jdg1:
Sorry but I don't see it either.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Lol wut? I don't see what you are talking about.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
i think i see what hes talking about. if you look at the phone from the side the screen looks wavy and not flat at all. is that what you are talking about OP?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yeah, that's what I've noticed but it has no impact on what you see on the screen. The screen is gorgeous.

Honestly, buggs, I think you are making yourself believe it's a problem. I don't know how you can be disappointed in this screen image.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Wouldn't the wavy your seeing is the digitizer not anti glare.
[HTC Rezound] 06stang:
Nothing here either. This screen is gorgeous.
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
Hi guys. What I am referring to, at least to me looks just like anti glare coating. You look say a web pqge mostly white with black text. From the side like your eyes are level with the screen you can see what to me looks like anti glare coating. You move the page slowly up or down and you can see the coating while the text moves and the coating doesn't. My incredible doesn't have this.

This is noticable when looking at the screen normal, but barely. To me anti glare coating is like I'm looking through a screen. That's just how I describe what I see with anti glare. This is just me I know. It's my seeing something that seems like it could be even more clear without it. The screen does have reflections so I don't think its anti glare coating. If itvis then its not working lol. I just see something that to me looks like anti glare coating. That's all.

I'm going to the store tomorrow to look at their display model.

I do like the screen and would like it even more without this stuff. But yes it is a nice screen.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
No offense but I kinda think you're nuts. There is NO COATING of any kind on the glass screen on the Rezound. I can prove it to you as well.... go get an aluminum silicate based rubbing compound (like 3M Perfect-it III Trizact) and start trying to polish off the nonexistent coating. You can buff and polish for a year and it will still look exactly the same, because there isn't a coating on the glass.
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
Notice how I said that what I see, looks like anti glare coating, not that it is. That's just the only way I know how to describe it. Sometimes I have a hard time describing stuff and putting things into words.

All I know is what I see isn't on the nexus or my incredible and it makes me think of anti glare coating. It isn't I'm sure. I just think of anti glare coating.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
what you see is the just the lcd screen with the digitizer. The reason you don't see this on the nexus or the incredible is because they are amoled screens which are different. I'm not even sure that amoled screens have a separate digitizer (think its integrated).
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
What is this digitizer? To me, it makes the screen look a bit, now I don't know how to put into words what I mean. I wanna say it seems like it would be less clear with it. Like an anti glare lcd monitor vs one without. Or an anti glare screen protector vs a clear one. Of course not newly like this, that's just me trying to put it into words.

The incredible I have is the one with slcd or something that isn't the oled or whatever the incredible came out with. They switched screens to keep up with demand and those screens are the one I git I think.
[HTC Rezound] misalies:
it's because it's reular lcd

It's the distance between the top glass layer and the digitizer/lcd underneath. All Amoled screens and the IPS screens (like on the iPhone) have the digitizer and lcd pasted right onto the glass. The rezound has a traditional lcd screen, albeit a very nice one. But it has a noticeable distance between the glass and the lcd. You shouldn't be able to see it normally as the glass should be perfectly clear.. What you're seeing is impurities or dust in the glass that stays put when the image on the lcd moves around and creates that illusion. Try another rezound at a store or something and see if you notice the same thing.
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
Thanks. I'll try.

Could it just be my screen?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
If it's driving you nuts and could be a defect just get it replaced by warranty. Verizon will send you replacements if the device is defective through manufacturer defect.
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
I went back to the store and their floor model has the same thing. So I came home and will be keeping my Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] mentallo:
I can see the thing you're talking about on my phone too but only when I look from a almost 90° angle onto the screen. It really doesn't bother me at all.

Sent from Rezound with Tapatalk by me
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Only thing I see is a double reflection at extreme off angles. Kinda like 2 pane plasmas used to be, just not as bad (could be because of the size though.)
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
Ya, its fine from normal view. I'm ok now. Just reminds me of anti glare and I hate anti glare stuff lol. I'm not bothered anymore fortunately.

But I sure would like stock ICS like on the Nexus. Then is be able to compare screens a bit better.
[HTC Rezound] z0mghii:
I also noticed my screen had a lot of glare compared to my droid bionic but after a few days of usage and having brightness set to automatic, it doesn't bother me anymore. The screen is a million times better than what the bionic was.
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
I returned the Rezound today because that stuff on the screen I see bothers me. But now I'm glad because I prefer stock ICS over sense which still looks the same even in sense 4 as 1.0 did. Shame on HTC for not updating the GUI look.
[HTC Rezound] 06stang:
Hurray :D that's super neat!
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
How did you get Sense 4 on the rezound?

Wasn't sense 1.0 touch flo (which came on the hd2 and tp2)?

So you are back to using the droid incredible and that is better?

Good luck to you and the poor incredible forums...
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
Hi. I did not have Sense4. I just seen couple images.

I like sense but I guess I wanted to try something else. So I got a nexus again but now I see the same thing on the nexus but did not see it in the store. I feel hopeless. :(truly I'm bummed.

Yes I still use the incredible for WiFi. No of course its not even in the same league as the Rezound. Yes the Rezound screen better of course. I just didn't like the stuff I saw in the screen. The incredible doesn't have it. I don't know what it is. To me a screen without it would be more clear in certain cases. Maybe clear is not the right term.

I just now see a similar thing on my nexus screen. I notice it in settings screen a lot. I don't remember seeing this on the display model. I honestly don't know what I am looking at and why its on some phones but not others. I wish I could describe it in such a way that you would know without a doubt exactly what I am referring to.

It does reming me of what I have seen on an lcd monitor that has antiglare vs one without, or a clear screen protector vs an anti glare screen protector. Plus my nexus doesn't seem as white on the web as the Rezound.

I'm just venting here and I like this discussion with all of you.

I'm going to take my nexus to the store tomorrow and compare my screen with their floor model screen.

I'm just bummed right now. I don't know why some screens have this and some don't. I don't know what I am seeing. And I so much wish the phone didn't have this.

Edit......

I did a Google search on galaxy nexus screen coat. I found this Wikipedia page.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipophobicity

It talks about the screen has anti fingerprint stuff in the screen. It lists a few phones that also have it. IPhone 4s is one that does. But it doesn't have the same thing I see on the nexus and Rezound. Rezound is not listed in the wiki page, but if you look at the photo of the nexus you'll be able to see kind of what I'm talking about. View the high res one and you should be able to see what I'm referring to on the Rezound and nexus. But weird thing is I didn't see this on the iPhone 4s.

Here's the link to the Wikipedia high res shot of the nexus showing this stuff.
