Hello, Im not sure which section to put this under but I guess this fits.

I dont know if you have heard but this company offers free 3G internet access in exchange for watching adverts on their website. 2.5 mins of adverts gives you around 500mb and its cumulative so you can stack it up and use it whenever you want, It runs on the 3 network which is widely accepted as having the best 3G coverage of the UK.

May be of use to TF300G users or those with a dongle or a spare phone for tethering.

It has been featured in Gizmodo and BBC news so can pretty safely assume this is legit.

Hope this helps someone.

It's not 2.5 minutes = 500MB (200MB per Minute) it's 2.5 minutes*29[days] = 517 MB or 7.13MB per Minute of ads. You would be spending the same amount of time watching ads as being on the web.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
So, many of you are aware of how abysmally low the speaker volume is on the phone after getting the JB update. Unfortunately all the information on it is scattered among several different posts and threads, and I just wanted to get some clear answers and use this as an informational post for others who are annoyed by this bug.

What, if anything, do we know about why it happens? Is there a definitive fix system-wide, or do I have to use volume boosting apps? I run franco kernel, are there going to be any compatibility issues with proposed fixes? I like using mostly stock JB, can I get a ROM that makes minimal changes to the original while still fixing the volume issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ian42086:
After randomly doing a search for volume fix a few minutes ago I saw this. Did search for same exact reason (gnex 4.1.1). Awesome beats (one of multiple equalizer apps) is said to work. I'm gonna try it in the morning (so as not to have a very annoyed girlfriend at 4am). There's probably a good amount more info on this. As for the last part..pure-ish 4.1.1 aosp Roms are very pleasing...like buttah lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hongzhou94:
If you have Franco.kernel, download his app from the play store (it costs a few bucks, not super expensive). In the settings tab there is an option to increase the max sound volume. I recommend setting it to 2; if you set it to 3 sometimes the sound will cut out on max volume.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KentuckyHouse:
I have no idea if this is correct information or not, so take it with a grain of salt, but I read earlier today in the Franco thread that that setting only affects the headphone volume, not speaker volume. I can tell you it does nothing for the volume on my GNex (speaker). I love this phone dearly, but I absolutely hate the low volume. I never have music on my phone, but I use the speaker phone multiple times a day while at work in my truck. I've yet to find a fix that actually increases the speaker volume on calls, and I've tried just about every ROM and tweak around. I'm beginning to think the people that swear some of these fixes work are just having a placebo effect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hongzhou94:
It seemed to make my speaker sound louder, but I am also using it in tandem with the AwesomeBeats mod for AndroidMe ROM, so it might be one or the other.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ian42086:
I remember reading that too. It does nothing for my GNex speaker either. Volume+ works though. I just tried it yesterday. It definitely increases the volume but only so much before it starts distorting the sound pretty bad. But it is a godsend volume wise for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
I can confirm that Franco Kernel sound boost only increases headphone volume. I'm just waiting for Volume+ to update...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdxtechdoctor:
you can get the latest beta version for free from the authors website listed on the play store.. it already works on the Gnex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
oh, does it work now? I gotta check than. Cheers :D

EDIT: I can confirm that Volume+ still haven't updated yet, therefore, it doesnt work yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ian42086:
I dunno if it makes a difference but I'm using the pay version and it most certainly works on my GNex.

EDIT: on JRO03L aosp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Huh that's odd. Even the dev of the app said that Jelly bean is incompatible at the moment. I'm sure it's not working, even in paid version
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blankit:
There some ROMs that have it fixed...if you have a sprint gnex...the perfect android ROM has an incredibly loud speaker volume
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ian42086:
The dev says it doesn't work with the system stuff (like ringtones, notifications, etc.) Works for music volume on JB though. Check it out, seems like a lot of people with various JB roms are using it successfully. It's kinda hard to be sure it's not working without trying it. I assure you..again..I'm using it..it works for music. Re-read what the dev said.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garrychau:
I try Volume+ on my jelly bean nexus. Only the music volume work, not the system volume (like ringtones). I missed so many call because the ringtone vol is not loud enough even at max vol level. I know I can install ROM, but I prefer stock right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kannan66:
There are no mods available as of now for boosting ringtone or notification volume for galaxy nexus on jelly bean. All the mods like awesomebeats/volume+ and also the default musicfx only work on music volume.

I have tried all the mods on all JB Roms which claim to boost ringtone volume, but none really work. The effect if at all is very marginal.

The problem lies with the way google has implemented Jelly Bean. The solution has probably go to come from them until one of the geeks here manage a workaround.

Lets see if volume+ developer manages to release a working version.

I am currently using volume+ on AOKP milestone6(ICS 4.0.4) to great effect.

There is no point in upgrading to JB unless the ringtone volume level problem is addressed. What is the use in owning a phone which you cannot here ringing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aidanbree:
Really need a stock solution. The reason I have the Galaxy Nexus is to avoid flashing madness with the stock experience. Is it a tracked bug?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anil76:
+1

I could not find a way to lodge a formal bug report to google about this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] runderekrun:
Nexus louder v3 worked for me. My sister has the same phone and mine is very noticeably louder.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] planeteclipse:
i guess if i want to boost the volume im going to need to root? my GS2 was louder :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aidanbree:
Where do I get this 'Nexus Louder v3'....had a quick search but came up with nothing...

Which combination of governor and scheduler gives the best performance for ICS Stock ? And which one for better battery life ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
Other said it is pegasus and devs say it is all the same just a little difference.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangal:
I was told by the majority it goes in this order:

1) Pegasusq

2) Lulzactive

3) SmartassV2

4) Ondemand

5) Hotplug

6) Interactive

... and the rest.

And for IO Scheduler:

1) VR

2) CFQ

3) SIO

The truth is that, this is a Dual Core Phone with 1GB RAM, and improved Android 4.03+ kernel. So the previous hardware and software limitations NO LONGER applies. Coming FROM the DEVELOPERS of governors and schedulers the best ones seem to be:

1) InteractiveX2

2) HotplugX

3) Ondemand

... then lulzactive ~ pegasusq > smartassV2

And for IO Schedulers:

1) SIO

... then the rest

The truth is you should use the DEVELOPER recommended governor and sio scheduler, for an extensive period (1-2 days) and compare them. Finding what works best for you. After that's done, then you should go further stability testing with Voltage Control. Eg, UC your lowest frequency, OC your highest frequency and UV each step to the NEEDS of your device, each device is UNIQUE and functions DIFFERENTLY.

I think doing so you should extend your battery life by 1 or 1.5hour per cycle, while maintaining or increasing performance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
it all depends on the ROM + Kernel and more importantly the user and how they use their Note.

For me, I use Performance + Noop.. But ive had good results with pegasusq + sio

The only way to get the best combination is to try them all, But give them time to perform, Dont make a decision after 5 mins of usage, Test them heavily, Do some serious Gaming + Multitasking and chose one that outperforms the rest !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akilesh:
I'll start testing and post results from time to time. :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coxeroni42:
But the performance governor never scales down but always runs at maximum frequency. How is battery life with that? Must be horrible?!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickentuna:
I agree, governors even if they have the same stock names(i.e ondemand) has been heavily tweaked by the kernel dev so that you maximize performance and batt life. Start off by using the kernel/scheduler suggested by the kernel dev.

The only thing I care about is running out of juice when I don't have access to something that can charge my phone, as long as i get 10-15hrs off batt life and solid performance I'm good. Still I always bring a wall charger/usb cord with me if i really needed the extra juice.

Remember you can charge the battery but you can't charge performance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
I get around 24 hours from my battery and I'm happy with that, besides I'm always somewhere where I can charge my phone should by battery run out
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangal:
This sentence doesn't make sense at all.

Unless you mean you can change or recharge the battery, which is straight-forward.

But you can "change" (increase) the performance. Just clear all background tasks, go to Voltage Control and overclock the cpu frequency upto 1.704GHz (with +1400mV) and keep it at that frequency by using the Performance governor. Also overclock your gpu upto 400MHz (with +1,000mV).

Though I don't recommend that, stability issues, warming issues and possible physical damage to your processor. But use the same concept, just not Overclock too much!

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

That's simply NOT true.

Otherwise you have your phone in deep sleep/idle far more than the average user, barely using your phone.

Other possibility is that you've severely underclocked your maximum frequency, and have a long time in idle.

Performance governor = Always on maximum frequency.

NOTE's maximum frequency uses 1300+ mV. The NOTE's battery size is 2,500 mAh. Simple maths will tell you 24hrs is impossible ; )
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
But it is true :) I'm not saying my phone will be awake for 24 hours I'm saying I charge it roughly every 24 hours, I know performance keeps the phone at max speeds but I am human I will sleep for about 8-9 hours, so in result so will my phone.

And I don't use my phone every minute of the day I do have work to do so my battery life is what I say it is. What I consider 'average use' might be absolute minimal use to you so maybe that's why you doubt me,

I personally don't mess with voltages and things cause I don't understand them but I use note core kernel which is highly tweaked and one of the best kernels for battery life

Hi there,

I just bought my samsung galaxy S3 and installed the Apex launcher. The fact is that I've seen that below the dock there could be some options of widgets I believe. I 'm trying to find in settings how to add them and nothing. I don't even know the name of those apps. Could anybody let me know how to enable them? .

Thank you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
The dock will only show 1x1 widgets I believe. Like a mail widget that is an icon that shows unread messages for example. or like the icon widget in handcent that shows how many unread text messages you have. You add it to your homescreen and you should then be able to drag it to the dock.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arielito:
Thank you for your reply, however, what I actually meant is below the dock. I am attaching you a picture so you can take a look. It's like the dock goes up a little bit and then below you have 3 options. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
That's a Galaxy Nexus. It has on-screen buttons. Those are the on-screen buttons.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Yes, they are on screen buttons, not a dock, you cant add widgets there. If you have the GS3 it looks like you're running AOKP maybe and enabled the onscreen navigation. However, with AOKP you can create more buttons on the nav bar to open up certain apps, or perform certain functions. for that you go to settings, rom control and then navigation. Then you will see you can add more custom nav buttons

please dont use any USB hubs...connect it to the USB port on the motherboard side....normally on the rear side for the Desk tops.....on the laptop all ports are directly connected normally...

secondly, what is your config? ROM?Kernel?please state your current configuration which can allow others to understand the situation.

Thanks

yeah i dont use usb hub i connect it directly i tried it on my laptop but its not working

my o2x dont say that usb debugging is connected it only charge

im on stock GB now 2.3.4 v20g
[LG Optimus 2x] kohos:
Don't want to hijack this thread, just got the same problem. (Not a complete noob here, rooted lots of different devices)

Bought a used 2x today. Froyo 2.2.2 german stock on it.

It just doesn't show the prompt that USB is connected

Tried:

- LG Mobile Driver from version 2.x.x up to 3.7.2

- on Win7 32 bit, Win7 64bit, Win XP 32 bit on various USB ports

- LG PC Suite obviously doesn't connect too

- checked/unchecked USB debugging, USB mass storage and all the obvious settings

- tried different cables

Would be really great if someone experienced could point us in the right direction.

EDIT:

After lots and lots of google I found out about a menu when dialing: 1809#*990#

With these options available:

CP Image Download

FET Disable

FET Enable

AP UART

CP UART

AP USB

CP USB

CP UART gave me at least a life sign once by saying that Windows wasn't able to recognize the device.

Is this issue really unsolvable?
[LG Optimus 2x] kohos:
Sorry for the bump, but I got some update.

when dialing the above mentioned 1809#*990# in the Port menu, switching from default AP USB to AP/CP UART gave me life signs.

After switching to AP UART I linked the Unknown device driver to lgusbdiag.inf located in C:/ProgramFiles(x86)/LG United Mobile Driver.

Suddenly it started installing it and is now recognized as: LGE Platform Android USB Device.

Once disconnected I lose USB again, I'm able to recreate the first steps though even in default AP USB mode by now.

The only thing I need USB for is for flashing a custom recovery but the only thing I don't have is ADB somehow : / Clockwork telling me: device not found.

Any help on this one?
[LG Optimus 2x] brymarti:
any idea guys about my problem?
[LG Optimus 2x] kohos:
Have you tried my method?

After manually installing drivers with CP UART on, switching back to default permanently enabled access with default AP USB settings as well.

Ap uart - p990 / p999

I have LG P999. rooted and cyanogen.

None of the special DTMF dialing # codes is not working (also code changed from 990 to 999) (i sow some other in another posts)

is anybody know a way to change to AP UART by software (with eclipse...)

or with a special cable?

i need to use AP UART - meaning to have a serial com in AP(app).

Thanks,

Since the og droid rooting has been one of my biggest hobbies. I am interested in learning more about developing roms. I want to know if anyone has a Site where I could learn about it so one day I can try to contribute to the Android community. I'm an information technology major and just started java and c# last semester but my professor's told me my school doesn't offer anything related to rooting phones or developing roms. I'm also interested about making apks so if anyone has any suggestions as to what to read or what Site has good information on the subject I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tadeas482:
For making apks, you must know JAVA. If you do, then visit http://developer.android.com/guide/components/index.html download Android SDK and Eclipse and start developing.

Hi Guys,

I am back with a new Kernel to try.

I have compile it with last Linaro Toolchain after lots of problems to compress a zImage :)

This is a 1100MHz version with all Tweaks from my own first kernel.

I attach too my initramfs.cpio.gz modify. Time passed 20 to 5 seconde, 20 is too loooooooooooong

Remember: Report!!!!

FYI: i have made 2200 under Quandrant (not representative but...it's an information), and that's all....i have no game on it (total wipe very often lol).

Have fun!!!

I have no problem with it :eek:

I don't know if compilation is unstable, i have the same kernel like you. (i think that the compression may cause lost of data).

I recompile it later and upload it if there are no results.
