[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pmennen:
At first I thought that might be the answer, but I ran into two problems with it. The main one was that I would accidently change the brightness pretty often when I was just trying to click on an icon for instance. (Unless I made the slider very thin ... but then it was too hard to grab the slider). The other problem was that some of my full screen applications would force themselves on top and the slider would not activate.

Someone in another thread suggested what I now feel is the ultimate solution:

Oh my gosh!!! You weren't kidding. Such an application does really exist

This solves all my problems with the galaxy note.

I can't believe this was so hard to find. I can't imagine that anyone would uninstall this application after trying it. It's like getting 3 extra hardware buttons for free!

I'm using:

- Home,Home to bring up Qbright.

- Home,Back to bring up papyrus (you never know when you need to scribble a note)

- Home,Menu to bring up a toggle widget (haven't decided which one yet, although I'm sure it will be easier to use than the built in PA one).

Thanks a million.

Paul what is this app called the link doesnt work
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pmennen:
Type in "Home2 Shortcut" into the play store. Or you could probably type in the author's name which is "Hideki Kato".

You can adjust the brightness on most Note ROMs by deactivating auto brightness and tap + hold on the statusbar and slide the finger.

Left = Decrease the brightness

Right = Increase the brightness
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Csn someone plesse link kimis toggles

Also that floating slider app increased my kernels battery usage from 8% to 20% consistently. Went bsck to normal after uninstalled
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Using stock rom rooted...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pmennen:
Yes but it turns out that the Paranoid Android rom had to give up that feature in its tablet mode. (Not sure why).

I briefly switched to phone mode to try at the feature you mentioned. It works but now that I have home2shortcut pointing to Qbright I feel that this is a far superior way to control brightness. Of course you would have to try it to know.

~Paul
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
My solution so far..

I use Button Savior pro and remap the camera to brightness level (i like this app more than qbright and it uses less system resources)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tinderbox (UK):
there is one on the Samsung Apps util called GalaxyBright it adds a slider to the drop down panel, also auto brightness option.

Look at swipepad, it allows you to access any button or shortcut (and widget, if you pay) from any screen you are on... (maybe not while in full screen games).

It is very useful, even if it doesnt fix this problem of yours.

Hello.

This actually not related to SG3 per-se, but maybe someone knows how to fix it. Basically Gtalk video and audio calls don't work overseas when using data connection (3G).

To be clear, I've used gtalk enabler that modifies some Gtalk setting to allow voice/video over 3G network, and I can call my home computer just fine, but when trying call someone in Europe, I get message

And on their end they see

When connected to wifi it works fine.

Anyone know a solution to this problem?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tamasrepus:
What enabler software did you use?

Also, just to point out the obvious… if it works for you but not them, maybe the problem is on their end?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] V@no:
GtalkEnabler

But all it does is changing gtalk_vc_wifi_only in gservices.db

So far I've tried different combinations and here is the result of things that worked:

a) my phone with a computer in USA (wifi or 3g)

b) my phone with a computer in Europe (wifi only)

c) my phone with another phone in USA (wif or 3g)

d) another computer in Europe with another computer in Europe

What doesn't work is:

my phone via 3g with another computer in Europe.

Hi!

Just started looking for a custom kernel for my HOX and noticed that it is quite difficult to chose what kernel to use because there functions are not explained very clear. Also I started search on Google on how well the kernels work compared to each other, but i did not find anything.

So my request is that somebody who is good on this, explain what is the different kernels specialty and what you should chose and why!

I think more people than me could really have help of this!

Hope somebody whats to help!

Check to see if the "Best Wi-Fi Performance" option is enabled under the Advanced WiFi settings. If it is, disable it.

Try using GSam Battery Stats (used to be badass battery stats I believe). It can give you a breakdown of what apps are chewing through the battery. Might help to give you some direction.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] costlyman:
Hello guys

I installed Takju build and flashed OTA and i dont have the Google ears widget. I am not in US maybe that could be the reason. I want to know if i could sideload the widget. If possible please provide me the apk.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_charlie:
Google Ears is there, but it's frozen if you, like me, are not in the US.

Use Titanium Backup (needs Root) to defrost it. But It will freeze again if you reboot the phone.

Other frozen apps are Google Movies, Magazines, Books and Wallet. Obviously these doesn't work outside US but Ears does.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dai323:
Books work in many countries outside of the US (they work here in Germany). Magazines, music, and movies still don't work here in Germany though :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] costlyman:
I mean google didnt have to link the widget to play store. they could have just given the widget to everyone just for identifying music. There are plenty of app to do that but google's was minimalistic and i like it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_charlie:
I didn't know that. In Venezuela none of those apps work. :(

I would have frozen those if I had the chance. Except Google Ears.

Now I'm trying to find any script that disable (freezes) those apps at startup. Any help will be great.

Cheers!

I do have Google Sound Search (Google Ears???) ...

Permanent Unfreeze apps

Sorry for my bad english... I unfreeze these apps with Titanium Backup, but... is possible a permenent unfreeze?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kuntau:
+1 MCR is able to do this, looking for permanent solution. TQ :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashere65:
What you can do is uninstall the app using Titanium Backup. Reboot. Install the apk from here. Now it's there forever. Unless you uninstall it obviously.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kamikass:
Tried your version but It's not working...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TECK:
The only way to get Play Music and Google Ears working (permanent without any "freezing", which is a term that does not even exists) is to factory restore your phone and set everything without a SIM card inside, while connecting to a US IP VPN Wi-Fi. Then, you will be able to install Play Music Music and Search Music widget. Obviously, you will need a Google Music account... Once you set everything, place the widget on one page and test it, it will work and open the Play store for the song you searched. Then, insert your SIM card and reboot the phone, the Ears and Play Music will continue to function properly but you will lose the Magazines and Music sections in your Play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FatherD:
Thanks .. just found that lol

It works flawlessly, many thanks for your help.

Here's the Google Ears that worked for me:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] frozenfyre:
Today I noticed I couldn't hear incoming calls, but they could hear me.

I have cyanogenmod 9 alpha 3 release, and tried reformatting, and reinstalling alpha 5 to no avail. Even called tmo to check if it was a network issue with no luck. Then I noticed my screen go shut off upon opening the keyboard. It would go on and off as if the connection was loose. Now it is permanently off so I followed the directions to factory reset through hardware buttons and am pretty sure it did reset. However, this will just keep me stuck at the recovery mod screen as I know from previous wipes.

My questions are the following:

Is my phone gg'd?

If I hook up a tv out cable to the audio jack, will I be able to see the screen on a tv for reformating to stock rom for tmo replacement?

If I send in my phone with a dead screen, will they know I installed a custom rom and tell me this was my fault?

That's about it.

Thanks.

Hey folks. I am using custom CM9 ROM in LG optimus 2X and everything is working fine. However my cellular data package works over an HTTP proxy which works well but ICS ignores hosts file, when proxying, so ads are popping up. In CM7 I used proxydroid with option to bypass local hosts and that always used hosts and blocked ads. Anyone know of workaround? Maybe Iptable adjustment?

I have installed HSPL 2.08 and wiped (task29) all data. After that, I have installed (repartitioned) cLK, I clicked flash then it went to 100%, but after that when my phone reboots, it just gets stuck on the white HTC screen. I have after that flashed cLK 1.5, and the same thing happens. When I check the PDA flasher which is given with the HTC HD2 Toolkit, it says that there is no Image on my phone, but I have flashed the 1.5 cLK image plenty of times. What could be the problem?

Hold home button while booting phone it should bring you to recovery

Hold the back button while booting the phone, it should bring you to clk screen.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] parker09:
Try flash a different ROM and see if it works, if an alternative ROM works it could be a problem with the previous ROM or the settings you used within the phone e.g. might of missed a step or done something like partition sizes or something of that nature.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
I'm not exactly sure what's going wrong, but something isn't installing correctly. Task 29 wipes your phone so you have nothing (aka the white screen you're talking about) try rebooting your computer and then go and install clk again. If everything works correctly it should work.

This is true, but it won't work for him because he has no clk or recovery installed to boot into.

+1 ;)

No. To install a ROM, it requires a boot loader and recovery to be installed. Because he doesn't have either installed yet, this is not applicable.

ROM: Team objection UCLE 2 #2 RC1

Baseband: 1717UCLF5

Up until now I have never had too ask for help reading was always enough to get all the info I needed but not this time.

Ok so, work kies it will never connect to the service the phone that is, all drivers up to date. PC can see it just fine.

You don't need to go back to stock to get the ics upgrade!

Go to the samsung page where you upgrade (this link was sent out by at&t in a tezt message), scroll down near the bottom and do the emergency firmare install.

It will wipe your phone clean but will leave your sd card alone.

Apparantly you do.

I saw nothing on the Samsung page that instructs on how to do the emergency firmware install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Projectdwnshft:
First download Kies and install it with your phone unplugged from the computer. make sure Kies does all its updates. while its updating remove your battery and write down your S/N as well as the model of the phone cause youll need it, go ahead and remove ur SD card to be safe. Once its fully updated put your phone into DOWNLOAD MODE, then connect it to the computer. in Kies goto Firmware Upgrade and Initialization in the Tools Menu. This will wipe everything from your phone so backup any pictures/music/movies whatever. your going to accept the new firmware install and be asked for your S/N of the phone and the phones model number. depending on your internet speed should take about 15 mins or less to do the upgrade to ICS

[Galaxy S III Accessories] kyan~:
Hello everyone! Here is a detailed review for the Belkin Pocket Case.

‣Design: The Pocket case has a simple, pebble-grain design that will hold the Galaxy S III in the rear pocket, and few cards in the front. The back pocket has a nice pull-tab to ease release of the phone from the case. It works fairly well, as the fit for the phone is pretty snug. There are holes in the back for the speaker.

‣Protection: It does offer all protection except the top. Inside the rear pocket is lined with microfiber cloth so your phone is definitely safe inside. As to how much protection from drops, because it is not securely installed onto the phone, I will never know! But anything from issues with placing in your pocket will definitely be no issue with this case used. Because of its texture and larger size than the phone, you have a much better grip.

‣Conclusion: The simple, clean lines of black stitching contrast well with the elegant pebble finish. It definitely has the looks, and the microfiber interior is definitely a plus!

+High quality

+Nice feel

-It is only usable when the phone is not used!

-Drops feel a bit unsafe!

I appreciate your thanks!
