Has anyone else had the problem when selecting "share" then "facebook" from the "now playing" screen, that when it redirects to the browser it says, "oops! Something went wrong..." Ive uninstalled and re-installed Spotify and facebook. Cleared cache in browsers and both apps. Nothing seems to work. I'm gonna flash a new UCLE rom tonight and see if it still does it.

Hi, when im watching a dark video there are blotchs and pixelations in black zones.

Is there any solution?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] code72:
In CM9 no more banding issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clandestino123:
Does CM9 really fix the black clipping.... or are you just making this up?

I would have thought that if this were true - it would be HUGE news.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
It doesn't totally fix it but it is a vast improvement.

Banding is also greatly reduced but again, not entirely fixed.

Blame Samsung for making crappy screens.
[Android Apps and Games] frikec:
Hi,

My latest android game is finished and I'd appreciate if anyone could try it and maybe give an opinion.

The goal of the game is to shoot the invading veggies down from the sky. If a veggie escapes you loose some or all of your health (depending on the enemy's health itself).

By shooting the veggies you earn money to buy upgrades and new cannons.

The trick is to make your fruit missile bounce off of the veggies and thus making combos to increase your earnings. You can also shoot them while they are already falling which brings you more money as well.

There are 40 different enemies, 18 types of missiles (fruit), and 3 upgradable cannons (missile type, range, basket size and reload speed)

The game is available on Google Play: http://bit.ly/JNKTQD

I attached some screenshots below.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csykos:
I have 2 kindle fires. I rooted one last week and was trying to do the same to my newer kindle fire today. When I connect the rooted kindle to my laptop it opens as a flash drive would (autoplay opens) but when I connect my newer kindle to the same laptop, it installs as a device.

Thus I am not able to use KFU 0.9.6 to root it. The ADB Status remains offline. The older kindle will say that it is online.

Both are running 6.3.1

Any suggestions as to what is going on with my newer kindle?

Look at the second post. Figure out what device drivers are getting loaded when you connect the second KF. If it doesn't match what you should see (based on the table in the middle), right-click on the device and get the hardware ID's from properties. Paste them here.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tera Tike:
I just got a Fire tweo weeks ago and had the same problem. I had to add the new hardware id which I found in Windoze device manager in the "android_winusb.inf" file.

Example:

%SingleAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01

%CompositeAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&REV_0216&MI_01

After I just re-ran the driver install utility and rebooted the computer, with the Fire unplugged of coarse. Then I went into the device manager and removed all "Android Phone" devices. Rebooted once more and plugged the Fire with all working as it should.

This was done a Win Vista Pro 32 bit machine I might add.

If you use ARHD 4.0.x it's because you look to get as close to stock as you can.

Many of this users misses the possibility of at least have their notification battery a little modded.

So, i'm glad to bring you (for now) 2 possibilities:

1) Stock Battery With %

2) Circle Blue Battery with %

I'll look to incorporate new ones as long as i find interesting ones or if someone request it by providing at least screenshot.

Thanks to:

How long does it typically take for a reboot after enabling safe system. I was just about to start trying out roms so I went in and enabled safe system then rebooted and my phone is stuck on a black screen, hasn't done anything in several minutes.

Any suggestions?

I can reboot it by holding the power button and volume down. it gets to the safe strap screen and shows safe system enabled then screen goes black and nothing happens

You enabled safe system but if you didn't install a ROM your phone doesn't have anything to boot into.

Okay, I guess I read it wrong. I thought you had to boot safe system once before installing a new rom.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Alright, here's a short, crappy head to head review of the two launchers.

I'm on Valhalla-Final ROM, which has a UI based off of ADW. I started out using Go Launcher, which over the past two months, has seen major updates with new features and improvements. It's probably the most customizable launcher I've used until now. It's definately no slouch, and the coolest thing, to me, would be that you can take bits and peices of each theme you download, to piece together your own. For example, I wanted a green and black theme, but none of the ones I could find met my needs completely. So, I downloaded a girly theme that had a green dock background, and another theme with nice icons, and another theme that had great backgrounds, and pieced them together. GREAT! It's smooth, and the launcher has many plug-ins available to enhance your ability to truly customize your phone, such as Go Locker, and Go Weather.

Anyways, a couple of days ago, I decided to check out ADW Launcher EX, to see if it molded to my ROM better. I was so surprised! ADW Launcher, in my opinion, blows Go Launcher out of the water! It doesn't have as many screen transition effects as Go, however, the in-depth customization is far deeper. Hidden dockbar is great, as well as the NUMEROUS icon custom options. As far as I know, ADW doesn't have any plug-ins to enhance the experience. However, I've found Widget Locker to be far more superior to Go Locker, and I use it in it's place. Themes for ADW are just as plenty as Go, but themes in ADW seem to blend better, and provide more eye and finger candy. A person can get lost inside the settings menu of ADW, and that's a good thing for folks like us.

Verdict:

Go Launcher - Great launcher! Perfect for those looking for freebies. Great customization. Plug-ins.

ADW - For a couple of bucks, you get a highly customizable experience, Definately worth it!

I deleted GO after messing with ADW for 10 minutes. The only thing I miss about GO is the triple dockbar. ADW is still cool, with the 'hidden dockbar.'

BONUS!:

A few apps to add for more customization:

Simi Folder

UltimateFavs Pro

Widget Locker

Clockr

Beautiful Widgets

If you haven't heard of any of those apps, YOU MUST CHECK THEM OUT!

If this helped you decide on your launcher, hit thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Yea I bought adw ex 2 yrs ago and never looked back.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
I've been using GO EX since ever and I think it's taking a lot of RAM and I don't like all the latest updates, however I didn't find any other launcher that allows you to:

1. Rename every home shortcut to any name, any language.

2. Set up any icon you want - by theme or even jpg image.

If you find such, please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
Been using adw ex since I caught it on sale during the 10	sale...

As for the renaming home key, I'm not sure exactly what that means, if you clarify for me I'll try. But it does allow you to change icons (theme pack or otherwise) and rename them as you please
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
The poster above me is correct. ADW is just as customizable as GO, maybe even more so. Try it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Itz did you use the paid version of adw? Because the version used in most custom Rom is an stripped down version.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
I prefer Go- Launcher....It just seems smoother on my SGS4G. I've also seen a few threads on XDA suggesting that the developer has abandoned ADW Launcher EX....not sure if its true though.:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
That is because Anderweb doesnt post updates every three days. He believes in if its not broke dont fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
I stand by that creed as well!

Seriously, skeptics...Try the paid version of ADW! You won't regret it! When on your home screen, press the menu button, then press 'More', the 'ADW Settings', then 'General Behavior', then go to App Drawar, select type, and choose 'Vertical 4D'. It's wicked!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
They're both great launchers, I wouldn't say adw is more customizable though. Something I always liked about go vs adw was the ability to change your icon to any custom image, such as a downloaded picture. The hidden dockbar of adw is nice, but does nothing other launchers scrollable dockbars don't.

I actually use zeam though. Its not as customizable as adw or go, but it still has more customization than alot of people realize. And I like the minimal size compared to others.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
I'm pretty sure you can change your icons in ADW now. I'll double check. I'll have to check out Zeam.

Anyone have anything similar to the few apps I mentioned, yet cooler?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
Yeah your right, you can use any image for icon now. I just downloaded the updated (Dec 11) version.

Now the only option its missing that I like is the option to have app drawer automatically reset to top of page every time you open it. I hate opening my app drawer and starting anywhere besides the top.

Give 360 launcher a try, its kind of cool.

Then of course there's the famous 15 dollar launcher, spb shell. Looks cool, but not 15 bucks worth for a launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
I have to agree with you on spb. Looks nice, but there isn't that much customization in it. Like you said, definately not 15 dollars worth. I think it would lag like crazy on our device, anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
I tried a pirated copy of spb just becuz I wanted to make sure I'd like it before I paid that much for it and I'm glad I did becuz it definitely is not worth $15.00

In my opinion its not worth more than a couple bucks.

Its not very customizable ....I didn't notice any lag.

My opinion is adw ex is top knotch .

Only thing I'd like to see is the option to have a transparent background in the app drawer or an option to change the background with a pic
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
That is a option available on adw ex
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Hmm I had never seen it....guess ill look harder.

Edit.....damn LOL never thought to slide the color bar to 0 LOL.

Thanks for the heads up
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
Same way I felt when I happened upon it
[Motorola Droid 4] ctenc001:
I recently got a replacement phone from esurance for a broken Droid x2. They sent me a droid 4, which I had no objections against given the great specs comparatively.

I read reviews on the screen being low quality, viewing wise, and this is not the issue I have with the phone. Coming from a dx2, the quality is not that different.

My problem is that there appears to be a lag between when i touch the screen and when it starts reading the input. A simple test to show what I am talking about is as follows;

Download multi touch paint or another paint app. If I swipe my finger across the screen as fast as i can, I can get 2/3 of the way across the screen before it draws anything.

This half second delay makes typing on the screen nearly impossible...It only picks up about half of the letters I press when typing normally like I would on a Dx2. To be clear, its not inputing the wrong letters because i am not used to the phone.. Its not inputting anything on about half of my keypresses.

I am on the latest official (nonleaked) version of android. Unrooted.

Should I RMA it again? Is there a fix, and has anyone else experienced it?

Thanks for any help!
[Motorola Droid 4] ctenc001:
over 150 views and no reply yet? I dont mean to rush things along, I just wanna make sure i did everything right.. Im in the right section?

If nothing else, could someone else tell me whether they have similar results?

Is typing horrible for everyone on the onscreen keyboard?
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I don't use the on screen keyboard much but the few times I have I have not noticed any lag. Sounds like a hardware issue to me.
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
I'd do a factory reset (yeah yeah, I know). If that doesn't fix it, you can either RMA it again or try to install a 3rd party rom and see if that helps things.

What you are describing is definitely not normal.

[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Just thought I'd give this it's own thread, so everyone knows what's up.

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/17/verizon-clarifies-shared-data-plans/

– Customers will not be automatically moved to new shared data plans. If a 3G or 4G smartphone customer is on an unlimited plan now and they do not want to change their plan, they will not have to do so.

– When we introduce our new shared data plans, Unlimited Data will no longer be available to customers when purchasing handsets at discounted pricing.

– Customers who purchase phones at full retail price and are on an unlimited smartphone data plan will be able to keep that plan.

– The same pricing and policies will be applied to all 3G and 4GLTE smartphones.

So, unlimited data is dead, but only when you upgrade after the cutoff date. If you buy full-price phones or used phones, your data is safe. They're also not going to confiscate it.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Still total BS
[HTC Rezound] ruvort:
Agreed. But at least we know there is a way to keep unlimited....

MyColorScreen
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yeah, looks like we're safe for a while. Still hoping the SGS3 drops before the cutoff date, but if not I guess I'll use my upgrade on a 4S, sell it right away and bank the cash for a new phone later.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
I don't feel like paying 800$ for a new phone. I'll probably just switch to Sprint after my contract is up.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
I agree that it's total BS, but you can get Rezounds for like 250 bucks on Swappa or Craigslist and it's only been 6 months. If you're willing to wait a bit for a phone, the prices drop fast. Basically this isn't the kiss of death it could have been.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
I am not sure I agree. When Verizon wants us to pay full retail price for a device to keep unlimited, I doubt they'll be okay with us just activating a new device purchased outside of their system.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
I hate phone companies. Since I work in IT all I do is deal with internet and telco companies all day long. They are all life-sucking scumbags.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Well we don't actually know. But we do know there will be a provision that will allow a new device to be activated on an unlimited line. How exactly though will they enforce the policy is the question. It would seem very logistically difficult to preclude used phones, but who knows.
[HTC Rezound] lsxrx7:
since verizon has moved on to LTE that use a sim card

they wont have to activate anything in the store anymore, you will be doing the sim card swap yourself if you want to keep your unlimited data
[HTC Rezound] jackpot08:
Wait so even if we are eligible for our two year upgrade after the cutoff date, will we lose the unlimited data to switch to a new 4g phone??
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
If you use your upgrade after the cutoff date you lose your unlimited data.
[HTC Rezound] jackpot08:
Wowow wtff so we are all gonna lose our unlimited eventually. This is bull ****
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
um... when i order a new phone online from verizon, it just shows up and i never have to change a plan or anything. I'd be surprised if they'd go to the length to make you redo your plan when you do that too...
[HTC Rezound] MedleHed:
Prepare to be surprised!
[HTC Rezound] jackpot08:
I guess you can buy a phone off contract and keep the unlimited data. My question is does vzw provide warranty on phones you buy off contract
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Yeah I sold my friend a droid incredible 2 and he just recently got it replaced because his charging port went bad
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
what are they going to do? When I got the rezound on another line and swapped sims, I didn't have to call verizon to do anything.

They should as long as the line has the insurance/extra warranty coverage, and you don't cancel it, they should honor it on any phone on that line. I would get pretty irate if I'm paying for that service and then they don't honor it.
[HTC Rezound] kennypow3rs:
Good luck with the nations slowest network. Average Download speeds on the galaxy nexus are between 1mb-1.5mb lol. No LTE until 2013-2014. Have fun :)
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
yeah they were talking about this in the other thread. it does suck having to buy a phone for full price but at least then we don't have to keep signing away 2 more years of our lives to verizon.
