[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
The problem is that capacitive screens only have spots they react on, not every single location. So the pen has to have a large enough tip to cover at least one such spot under all conditions; something which is always given when using your finger.

(In fact your finger usually covers multiple spots)

These spots don't really allow for smooth transition in e.g. diagonals.

The cheap pens off eBay have a larger tip which covers multiple spots (like your finger) and work thus better.

On older screens or elder tablets (e.g. the Wetab) they are still unusable and will result in the same issues you're having with the c-Pen since those screens have even larger gaps between the spots.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TSport-:
Yeah, that makes sense. Actually I could draw a straight line with it just fine but at the upper part of the screen it became unresponsive and really annoying to use.

Can't comprehend how such a product could be advertised as "exclusively optimised for S3".

Oh no.. I placed order few days ago!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cecilia:
I've been researching this C-Pen to decide if I wanted one. What I read on Amazon.com is that it seems to work ONLY on an S lll. Does not work on other tablets or phones. Now, I wanted to be able to use a pen on a tablet I have so I figured this was a negative for this particular pen.

If it doesn't even work well on the S lll what is the problem? (rhetorical question). My main interest in using a pen was not as a substitute for my finger but to actually use the S Memo for sketches.

it seems to me this technology is not yet sophisticated enough for prime time.

Yes. Use the .dex file for the alpha level and just change the statusbar_background.png to the desired transparency level and thats it :). Just remember to add @color/transparent to the date background, otherwise it will show when you expand the statusbar and add the proper change from #ff000000 to @drawable/statusbar_background.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmas:
Rumours:Android 5 jellybean expected later this year. will G.Note be updated on this? Will this solve eMMC bug?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tabsterleir:
1) Android 4.1, not 5.0. Jellybean is 4.1.

2) Unlikely except for the usual community effort.

3) The fault (as far as I am aware) is a eMMC firmware fault and can be WORKED AROUND with patched kernels but not fixed. So no, its unlikely JB if we get it will make a difference (again, except for the community effort).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endingcolt007:
Yes as said Jellybean is Android 4.1 not 5.0! As far there has been no official news about the devices receiving this update. The only thing we know is that the nexus 7 tablet will be releasing with this and Galaxy Nexus will be the first phone to get this update. However after seeing that JB will support the hardware on the Nexus it is most likely that the Note will get the update as well. As far as eMMC bug issue, they cant fix the chips that have the issue but they can include a patch in the firmware update that prevents the eMMC chip from being erased!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
As endingcolt said, Nexus is officially getting 4.1 and Note is basically the same hardware...so i don't see a reason not to get an update.

All i care about, anyway, is CM10 support - hope they won't abandon Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoux:
Hardware is the same. Only problem I see is the S-Pen enhancements to be made to JellyBean. Not sure how long Samsung takes to do that, if at all they think of doing it.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JS_racer:
Having a strange issue here. Stock wifi, rooted. If i go to select say an alarm sound , i get a prompt for android system and es file explorer for changing it. If say i click on the clock, settings, tone, thats where i get the prompt. If i click android system, the screen stays dim but i never get the popup list. My epic 4g works perfect.

Anyone have any idea how i can track this down? New to troubleshooting android devices. I can see them still there with a file explorer, not sure how i broke the popup.

Thanks so much for the time,

Any questions please ask, I'll share what i can

Also, settings, sound, notification, then i get an android system or es file explorer. Broken there too.

By housing, do you mean the metal bezel that surrounds the glass?

If is, if you are very careful, superglue worked great for me. I had the whole left side coming up. Just be very careful not to get it any where else and don't put too much in. Don't want to squeeze it and have it come put and get on the screen. Hold it for a few minutes until it sets and be careful with it the next 24hrs until it cures.

This is my first android and only my second smart phone. My first was iphone 3GS.

I've had the phone for just a few days now and I'm beginning to understand things but I still have a bunch of questions. I'm sure it's answered in a guide somewhere already but I'm having trouble understanding the lingo to understand the guide...

So this phone obviously doesn't have an SD card port. But does that mean there is no way to create a virtual SD card? Is there one already on the phone that I don't understand how to access it?

In apps that require other files stored on an SD card it often brings up a browser with the location /SD card/. Is this an actual folder location? How can I access it and how can I put files there?

I apologize in advance because I probably will not be able to understand your directions since I just don't understand android talk yet.

I have no idea what sort of info you guys might need so here it all is.

HTC One X

AT&T 4G LTE

USA

Rooted using [ROOT] 1.85 One Click Root! - ACT NOW, MAY NOT LAST FOREVER! (I'm not sure how I did this or if I was supposed to. Just following instructions...)

I have no idea what a bootloader is, just that it can be unlocked. Should I do this? What does that mean?

I have a vague idea of what a rom is and i'm running the vanilla stock one. Any advice of what the advantages are of changing my rom and how to do it? Again I looked at the guides but I can't understand it...

I have no idea what a kernal is.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
It has an internal sd card, you can access it with es file explorer, or any explorer app, but es is recommended. And when you plug your phone into pc it will pop up with the option to charge or mount as mass storage.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
Welcome...I'd advise for you to head over to youtube and just search for any questions you might have. That way you get to see it. Even if it isn't for your phone alot of the same basic principles apply. ie. search youtube for android basics or something like that i'm sure you'll find a lot of info to get you started.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
Welcome to the world of Android! :)

Our phone's file system is as follows:

2gb for Apps (in the /data location)

10gb for User Data (known as the "sdcard", in the /sdcard location, basically a virtual sd card)

4gb for system files and such.

Use any file explorer to acces the files in /sdcard. However, you can only edit the other "partitions" (as they are called, basically the other parts of the file system as described above) with root.

Root is basically giving you access to those other parts of the system so that you cant usually access so that you can modify your system

Bootloaders are the things that load the device firmware. If you unlock them, you can write custom things to boot the system up, such as custom recoveries (used to install custom ROMs, back your system up, etc) and custom kernels.

If for now you aren't going to use any custom ROMs then don't worry about Bootloader Unlock. If you want to use custom ROMs then you will need to unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery.

Custom ROMs really come in two different types: ones that remove extra crap that AT&T/HTC install on there but are still very stock looking and give you a faster stock experience, and also those ROMs that completly deviate from stock and have an entirely different look and feel.

The second category of ROMs also can be broken up into two categories. One of them is AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROMs that give you the vanilla look of what Ice Cream Sandwich is supposed to look like (look up screenshots of a Galaxy Nexus to see what it looks like). An example of ROMs like this are CM9 and AOKP. They both give you extremely high customizability. There are also ROMs that deviate from the standard type of different ROMs, such as the MIUI ROM. These give your phone a completely different look and feel like the AOSP Roms except they aren't trying to mimic AOSP. Check out screenshots of the MIUI ROM to see what I mean of a different ROM.

Ask any more questions you have.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PhatCrits:
Thank you Rohan and Kleeman.

So I'm gonna keep asking if you don't mind. It seems to me that if I were to keep the stock rom then I would not be getting all I could out of the device. I think cleanrom is for me, but would I be missing out on features by sticking with SenseUI? Could you point me in the direction of a very very very dumbed down way to unlock it, preferably device specific? Simple google searches brought guides but not one I could follow. Oh, and when should I backup and how?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
My NT has been working flawlessly since I first got it last November. Installed Nook & Zergy, OTA blockers and I was off. No CM9 or anything like that cuz all I needed was a working tablet that I could access Google Market on.

Tonight I pick up my tablet and notice it's been turned off. I turn it on and now it's stuck in a bootloop. It tries to turn on, then shuts off, then back on, off, etc. I have zero idea what has changed but for whatever reason the damn thing has decided it's not gonna boot up.

Anyone ever experienced this? Or have any idea how to correct it? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
I should probably also point out at this time that none of the methods of restoring the device to factory settings seem to be working. Help?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Um never mind.

I had to replace the entire nook so I guess it's moot now.

Thanks anyhow though folks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] titanshadow:
Just out of curiosity, was it a hardware failure then?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hsanafad:
I'm wondering the same thing. My nook has had similar symptoms, It constantly tries to boot and fails when I have the usb cord plugged in. One time after I unplugged it, it automatically cleared data and restored factory settings which did not fix it anyway. Now it just flashes the battery too low screen constantly when plugged in.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
The people at B&N were fairly stumped and after a few minutes of examination, they just agreed to swap it out for a new (or rather refurbished) model. So I'm guessing it was a hardware failure, yeah. Just very odd that it would happen like that all of a sudden, but then I guess there's no telling when stuff is just gonna fail.

hsanafad, you might wanna try calling nook customer service and asking for help. When they fail to fix the problem (and they probably will if it's the same problem I had) then they'll just set up a replacement through the mail or with your local store. Your nook should still be under warranty since you've had it less than a year (if it's a tablet and not a color) so probably they'll swap it out with no real issue. Just a thought.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlfaKyle:
I'm trying to flash a new ROM (trying several different ones) on my friend's Mytouch 4G. An old MIUI release is the only one that's worked, but is missing a few things she considers "must haves". MIUI v4 2.6.22 androidimsomnia fails with error: assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "glacier"

When I attempt to flash Dark Unicorn v2 using Aroma installer it fails because the installer lists it as a Desire HD. The HBOOT screen shows it as "GLACIER PVT ENG S-OFF".

Any ideas on why this is happening?

The installer says "The information displayed might be incorrect." Based on what I've read though, that's the information that Aroma uses to decide whether or not to continue the install.

I attempted to flash Coredroid onto it and it just hangs at the "MyTouch 4G" boot screen, without getting to the bootanimation. Could this be a result of erroneous model reporting?

HBOOT is version 0.85.2007

Multiple full wipes of everything (except format /sdcard) were completed before each attempt.

Thanks for any thoughts,

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Aroma is checking the build.prop for the type of phone. If they don't match the installation errors out. Every ROM has it's own build.prop. Formatting system should clear out the old build.prop.

I've ported and forgot the to change the build.prop and the from would still flash aroma installer or not. It sounds like a wrong phone flash meaning a dhd phone when rom is for my touch 4g.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
i think maybe you got a bad download or something like that. AROMA Dark Unicorn installed perfectly fine for me, and many others.

what we have added in the updater-scripts of most ROMs is the

assert getprop

lines. what these lines do is that it makes sure basically, that the ROM you're flashing is meant for your device. "assert getprop" checks the device information in your build.prop, like ro.product.device. if those don't match, then the installation will automatically abort, this in most cases is good. the only downside to this feature is that, if the developer forgets to change the device information in the build.prop, recovery will think that the ROM wasn't made for your device, hence your errors.

so what you should do, is open up the ROM.zip, find the build.prop (should be in /system folder), open it up, and check the device information. these are what a normal ROM designed for the Mytouch 4G HTC Glacier should say under device information in the build.prop:

ro.product.model=HTC Glacier
ro.product.brand=tmobile
ro.product.name=htc_glacier
ro.product.device=glacier
ro.product.board=glacier
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
ro.wifi.channels=
ro.board.platform=msm7x30
# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device
ro.build.product=glacier

if it doesn't match, then something is wrong, and that's why recovery, when reading the updater-script gives you errors.

hope this helps :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlfaKyle:
I downloaded the ROM from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1716558 and verified the MD5 after the initial download and after copying to the microSD card.

ro.product.brand=HTC
ro.product.name=aokp_glacier

I must admit, I prefer an aborted install to a borked handset, but I'm at the point of wanting it to work just to prove a point haha

I'm sure I'm flashing a MyTouch 4G ROM onto a MyTouch 4G device. I'm at a loss here haha. I've done several phone and tablet models over the years and this is the first time I've been stymied.
