Hey Everyone,

With Jelly Bean starting to hit various devices, I thought it would be useful to start a thread compilation on maximizing the potential of Google Now.

If you guys have any tips, tricks, suggestions and/or secrets on how to use Google Now to the very best, please share them here so that everyone can enjoy their Android experiences to the fullest! I'll keep an eye on everyone's comments and compile a master list up here on the OP so that everyone can benefit from all of our findings and find a helpful and clean list easily.

Finally, a big THANK YOU to everyone that contributes, I'll make sure credit is given where credit is due for each contribution! Let's try to keep the thread clean. :) Thanks everyone!

Google Now Useful?

Are people finding Google Now useful? I just obtained it for my ICS mod.
[Android General] wrusry:
Uninstalled Google Now

The Google Now app for my ICS mod was eating my battery life. I had to uninstall it. I was enjoying it, but it wasn't worth the extra battery drain. I am sure it eats less battery in a native jellybean rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bogdan99999:
hello, I have a galaxy mini plus and I want to make some change in order sound louder. ( to install an aplication or something ). I tried this procedure, but it don't work.

Can you propose me a solution for my problem please?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] enskje:
Try use earpiece.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bogdan99999:
No, I mean louder sound even when I listen music or ever when someone is calling me. I want just louder sound in the speaker, not earpieces.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] enskje:
No its program called earpiece xDDDD
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bogdan99999:
I'll give a try right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] apklike17:
He means use an earpice XD
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bogdan99999:
Not working. It makes just a little more louder, somewere bettween 1-10% more louder sound. Other app?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bogdan99999:
SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST.

Can anyone give me another method/app for my problem? I want to make my phone to ring/sound louder. In this rom "Repencis v3.5" it was an app that makes it sound louder, but I can't find it.

P.S: sorry for my english.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] enskje:
Dsp manager?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bogdan99999:
Where I can find it? I can't find it into the android market.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] enskje:
Hmm. Google, but i think it needs some libs files, try other music player.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bogdan99999:
Like:))? winamp? I dont want to sound louder just when I listen to music. I want even if someone call me.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] enskje:
Ohhh. That ok, idk then
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] KawaiiKami:
So search an equalizer on play google...then open it...and then test all the presets(or how are called them) that sounds louder...earphones...

Boooooooo!.....did I scared you?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crullick:

What is happening with Jellybean for T 989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shankar10:
Most probably not gonna happen. But there is no difference at all.

Google released for Nexus because there was a bug found on it and they fixed it.
[General Questions and Answers] tizzo009:
Hey, i'm new to this forum so bare with me if i break any rules. Well yersterday i was lucky and happy to get ICS upgrage or update from sprint, for my Samsung Galaxy S2 sph-d710 (Sprint) Maybe cz am new to all of this but my software version Android says (4.0.4) Baseband Version (S:D710.10.S.FF18) as seen on the attached picture. Now here is the problem, My phone's software doesn't look like other ics, now i don't know that maybe this is how the Sprint version looks or, it just doesn't have all that ics theme or whatever it still looks like gingerbread only running ics but without most of the ics features. (Sorry i don't know much about this & English is my 4th language) so i've attached some pictures of how my phone looks, hope i'll get the answer to this.

Thank You in Advance,

Tizzo009
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Nope, that's ICS. It's just Touchwiz running on top. If you want stock ICS, I suggest flashing CyanogenMod 9. For now just install Nova Launcher.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kicsrules:
i use link2sd with external 2nd mount... most of my apps are linked to external mount..... using stock app, i deleted gtalk a while ago, i flashed via WCM gapps again and everything installed correclty, still tweetdeck and viber dissapeared (are the only ones i notice since i use them a lot) now whenever i try to install viber via google play, it says "error missing shared library" i think i has something to do with the linking in link2sd ... but i dont know how to solve it, anyone has info on this ???

TLDR: cant install apps, stock 2.3.6 ktm release, using link2sd....
[General Questions and Answers] ITzRicardo94:
Maybe i'm posting in the wrong section but here's the thing.

Okay so I tried searching everywhere for a solution and I didn't find anything.

So this is what happened, I was on ICS leak 4.0.4 ICS.672.1.13.en.03 then I tried to Fxz to AT&T 2.3.5 InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID28 5.zip and it got stuck at 5/20 saying "Rebooting bootloader" the screen stayed black for a long time, so I clicked close and this is where all this happened. My phone doesn't turn on, not even Fastboot, when I plug it into the charger it doesn't do anything, but when I plug it into my laptop without battery the white led turns on but still it doesn't do anything, the laptop doesn't detect anything and when I press the buttons it doesn't react nor do anything. I don't know anymore what to do, I bought this overseas so I have no warranty and it's not an AT&T phone. If anyone went through this, I really don't know what to do.. I know it's not softbrick as I can see it. I'll be very thankful if there is a solution, but my hopes are really down..

I know I read all the guides, it said "Don't pull battery or unplug. So I didn't unplug or remove battery, I just clicked close. I really didn't know this could happend. Didn't see it in any thread or post that you can't Fxz from 4.0.4 to AT&T 2.3.5
[General Questions and Answers] ruscan.calin:
what phone model /where did you get that zipped rom from/ do you have a stock rom ?

If you start phone and screen is black ( no bootloader image) then it's possible to be really bricked
[General Questions and Answers] ITzRicardo94:
I got an Atrix 2 and I was on ICS leak 4.0.4, I tried to Fxz to this InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.zip which I found at this site http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php. I have locked bootloader. Btw it got stuck at 5/21 "rebooting bootloader" with a black screen after that nothing worked for me, before I tried it I had 90% of battery.
[General Questions and Answers] ruscan.calin:
never flash a rom without instructions if you are not an experienced user you have to use RSD Lite to get back to working conditions
[General Questions and Answers] ITzRicardo94:
But I was told that if you have a locked bootloader it's really hard to hard brick your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] ruscan.calin:
pull out battery then back and try to boot/recovery/fastboot or flash a rom by RSD Lite

[General Questions and Answers] ITzRicardo94:
I tried booting into fastboot, but the phone even turn on. Only white led when I plug it without battery into my laptop. So it isnt really dead but something is wrong, I tried the invisible boot, but I guess it isnt working.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zadnica:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimDroid:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FrostedFlames:
So I just got my awesome new galaxy note I have had it for about a week.. So my neice gets ahold of it while im not around and decided to tear off the "black sticker" aka wi-fi bluetooth antennae completely off... I have att's mobile insurance but I just noticed the Deductible is 199 dollars.. and that is just ridiculous tbh. So I am wondering If anyone has any suggestions what to do from here. Goto the att store and beg for mercy? i've have been with them for over a decade maybe I can walk out with a new Note? or do I have to be sketchy and send my note to gazelle get 211 file a claim saying the device was stolen pay att with the gazelle cash lmao.. :confused::confused::confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ManelScout4Life:
what antenna? the nfc one of the battery cover?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FrostedFlames:
The one on the left of the camera/sim card right of the power button on the back panel it was a black sticker
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FrostedFlames:
This sucks I mean Is there anyplace I could just buy the sticker take the phone apart and put a new one in im sure it would be cheaper that 199$ =[ TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY TOO lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cjsspape:
Did you take the back panel off? The stickers are usually warranty related so it may be a hard fight. Maybe just send it to a repair service? Might be cheaper then the deductible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FrostedFlames:
No I never took apart the phone just the battery cover then 5 year old tore it off lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lo0n:
If you're talking about the antenna that is fixed to the back cover, just buy a new back cover from Samsung, they are only $10.00 plus shipping and come with the antenna attached.

I bought a blue back cover to put on my white phone, however it didn't look as good as I thought it would.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
^^^ +1, that is the NFC antenna, which you likely don't even use. But if you want to replace it, $9.99:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ETC-717BSCBSTD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FrostedFlames:
No If i could post a diagram I would but i cant unitll ten posts It is the sticker on the back of the phone not the cover right next to the power button. It is my antennae for sure I just cant find any where to buy it seems I will just roll with a wifi and bluetoothless note =[ happy birthday me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/20/samsung-galaxy-note-for-atandt-passes-through-the-fcc/

I see where you mean now, but still don't see how that was accessible with just the cover being off without a screwdriver. And not sure what you mean by "sticker". Either way, 5 year olds are damn destructive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] knoxster:
The area is covered by a semi hard black plastic sticker. Still how a 5 yr old got their finger under there...wow
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FrostedFlames:
Its just out in the open take the cover off and its a retangular sticker
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FrostedFlames:
Yup I was swapping out my sim cards and I got pulled away from my desk I came back to her with it I guess she was trying to help me...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FrostedFlames:
It seems I am screwed, unless there is somewhere that sells this peice or I could try my gazzelle idea maybe they wont notice it missing X-D because this pretty much sucks I mean 4g is fast but idk. if anyone has any suggestions. Man AT&T is retarded I want to cancel the insurance but it is sort of usefull if it breaks it wont be 500+ to get a new phone but still 199 =[
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
ouch........sorry to hear that.......g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:
Take your neice with you to an att corporate store. Hopefully between a cute 5 year old in your arms and your length of service through att you can get the store manager to sympathise with you.

Its important to go to a corporate location. Corporate store managers seem to be more willing to work with you than a normal store manager. Perhaps they can't or won't be repremanded as much? That's what I've noticed in my area though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Just tell them you were swapping your SD card out when the damn "sticker-thing" just popped right off. Then, ask them nicely to replace your "lemon of a device."

/done ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FrostedFlames:
Haha. I am about to, I was also thinking maybe do something software related to break it then just say its all software =D I found the back part of the phone the read housing that has the atennae on it If I end up stuck with this device then I'll just pick one up and swap it out bleh http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-SGH-I717-Rear-Housing-p/smsng6113840.htm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
This is true for me too. Once I had a brainfart and forgot to turn off my phone when I crossed the border and in four hours I racked up a $349 international data bill. I went to a corporate store to discuss it, and the manager wrote all of it off. I have been at&t since 1980.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] claywd:
Okay. Stick sticker back on phone call Samsung and tell them someTHINGS things not right. DO NOT MENTION THE FIVE YEARLD TEARING OFF ANTENA. Go through the motions of restoring the device. When nothing works they will pay for Shipping and have it back in a week.... FREE.

Year free warranty manufacture defect. Go through Samsung.

So when I get a text it only plays the first half of the tone I selected, not matter which one I pick.

Any thoughts??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] aramos87:
If you have auto delete messages on in your sms app settings it will do that while its trying to delete an old message as it recieves a new one. If you uncheck that option the problem should go away.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] tthaz777:
Hi everyone,

I found libfmradio_jni.so in \system\lib.

Does it mean our Galaxy S Blaze 4G has FM Radio?

When I tried Spirit FM Light, it didn't work.

According to mikereidis's thread:

Fm:BC Su:1 Bt:0 Ht:0 Mo:BCH UA Hv:6 Ma:15 BC

+ Fm:BC -> Fm identifies Broadcom (BC) FM chip

+ Su:1 -> Su capability is available

+ Bt:0 -> Bt is off

+ Ht:0 ->hcitool is unavailable

+ MoBCH -> Mo is operating mode; BCH UA = Broadcom HCI UART App.

+ Hv:6 -> HCI version 6

+ Ma:15 BC -> Manufacturer code: Broadcom

So, I think our Galaxy S Blaze 4G potentially has FM Radio.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] allprogrammed:
Some early spec sheets on the phone listed that it had an fm transmitter. Maybe it could be for that, which would be sweet.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thesh0ck:
There is also a TV out daemon and libraries as well but our phones don'thave that either. I think Samsung just has a default template they use for galaxy s phones and just modify it and forget to remove stuff.

Call the store today. Found out the release date will be July 29. Sadly I preordered my Galaxy S III and activated it on June 23 so I am going to have to find a manager that will be cool and hopefully allow me to extend my 30 day exchange time a bit or else I will not be getting red :(.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Araltd:
I like the pebble blue, which is kind of a metal'ish blue, very nice... but I have to admit, I've always had a thing for red... red cases, red cards... so a red phone ... I'd get one if I could.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hozae21:
I would have gotten it, but since im rooted and stuff, ill stick with my white gs3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] abandroid:
I got the pebble blue. Although even if the red was available for purchase I dont think I would have choose the red anyway, I'm not really a big fan of red. I hope this thread don't start a bloods and crips war lol jk.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] V@no:
I'm surprised the recent color choice we got from HTC and Samsung. Not only they didn't have the most common and used color - black (AT&T), but Samsung managed to provide odd blue as main color choice with a slogan "inspired by nature"...seriously?

Red is not my cup of tea, however I'd exchange for black if had a choice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wildcard30:
Happy with my Pebble Blue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hcyplr29:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kimmilicious:
Ahh... I refused the blue color for the white because I thought it would be a more basic blue than a nice silvery color.

I wonder how it'll look if I switch out the white cover for the blue one, but not the entire phone?

The red is too red for my taste :<
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hcyplr29:
I actually ordered a white carbon fiber battery door replacement on eBay for the white one I returned. I'm gonna see how it looks on the blue. Maybe, maybe not.

I can't wait for that red one. But I really want a international one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Roco91:
Pebble blue all the way. Looks the best IMO. I know a couple people that want the red, actually doesn't look bad.
