[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USMCsilver:
I'm trying to go through Amazon's site on my rooted 7" Galaxy and I've already checked the box to allow installation of unknown sources.

However -- the app won't download onto my device. It tries forever, and then finally says that it's failed.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind -- I simply D/L'd it to my PC and xfered it over. :)
[HTC One X] kingofthebraves:
Been reading through a lot of threads and just wanted to know if there was such a thing as a perfect HOX without screenflex on the sides? Did anyone ever get one perfect our of the box or is everyone just accepting this as normal? Mine flexes like crazy on the sides and I do know that most owners don't really mind because they rarely push it that hard especially on the side. It's annoying really because I discovered this by accident when I was trying to remove my silicon case.

Will the LCD be damaged eventually if it keeps on getting pressed like that?

How is everyone finding the battery life on stock 1.29? I've been using it for two days now and it is terrible, I only get 10 hrs between charge with around 1 hr of music, 2hr 30 mins screen time 8 mins of games and browsing for one hour. Definitely a step back from the SGS2 and the GNEX, I am constantly left checking the battery life.
[HTC One X] magnesson:
I am on 1.29 and would say battery is pretty good for my daily use. I get around 24+ hours of charge.

I use my phone during transit (2 hours) watching YouTube and surfing and fb. I have turned off autosync for emails and fb.

Also allow complete discharge/recharge cycles atleast three times and your battery performance will improve definitely.

Flex is ok have you noticed when you drop your hoc nothing happens because it flexes when u drop a iPhone 4 it cracks really easy because its solid.

Theres a video on YouTube were a guy drops his hox from above his head and nothing he even purse water over and nothing so don't worry bout it I took myn out its case after I seen this

So, I bricked my last A2 and had it replaced and the one they gave me is horrific (bunch of issues...). Anyway, I know I have to unroot, they will most certainly detect that. However, What about bootstrap? Do you think they will notice that when they bring it to the back to do their "troubleshooting"? Because I was just planning on unrooting and then uninstalling bootstrap app (incase they know what that is, i know that that wont remove they bootstrap). So, what are your opinions on that?

[Motorola Atrix 2] kousik:
Not sure if I'm completely off topic but don't want to start a new thread either: so does AT&T/Motorola salvage the bricked phones returned/exchanged under warranty? I understand if you microwave it, it's gone for good, but otherwise do they have a way to salvage a phone with hosed bootloader or hard bricking? Will it require special hardware setup to recover these phones? I am sure bricking would be a common phenomena in Moto's lab ...

[Motorola Atrix 2] okachowwa:
Hey now lol. I try I try. I totally fixed my Captivate...after I bought this AWESOME phone. But I didn't brick this one, it was a bad replacement, and my last one, yeah FXZ confused me so my ignorance overtook my ability to fix it, because I couldnt find the files on the forums (links were down) and flashed wrong ones (live and learn?). But yes, being a sophmore in high school I probably shouldn't being doing this stuff as I don't have any money lol.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jboxer:
Yes, unless the EMMC is corrupted beyond redemption they have special flashing tools to restore phones to a usable condition. Just think about when the phone is made; it is a blank slate. They have to have a way to flash it initially. They can use a similar method to resurrect it if it is not damaged beyond repair.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kousik:
Hmmm ... that's exactly is my point; if it is all software, why doesn't it leak like RSDlite? Then users could recover these bricked phones themselves and no need of these warranty calls. It must be some special hardware (to be connected to JTAG?) which even our service centers do not have available. Then we could take our out of warranty phones to them and get it restored for a small fee. Now if I take a bricked phone to them, they change the motherboard and charge ~30% of the phone value.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
That is because there is an efuse that was blown as part of this process, and you can't unblow a fuse/efuse. That is why you are getting new boards. I was at one the AT&T service centers last week and we looked at one of the bricks, and it did throw 2 efuses that I could find. We could connect them to JTAG with the correct connetions, but we could NOT see the phone from the JTAG device/software.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kousik:
Is it not an inefficient (or dangerous (or suicidal)) design that if you overwrite the bootloader (even by an older version) then a efuse blows somewhere and the motherboard becomes useless. You may refuse to boot if the bootloader isn't trusted but killing the phone in the process sounds too bad to me. Would this happen with phones with unlocked bootloader too?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No, this is a Motorola ONLY thing, as inefficient as it might be. There is no need for anything like is in a unlocked bootloader phone. This happens because these phones are just like iphones in that Motorola does NOT want us "playing" with them, or doing any kind of dev work on them, Moto phones have a HUGE history of being non developer friendly. That is also why certain devs like me find them a challenge and want to "breakthrough" all that.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kousik:
Well, except their managers we all see how it backfired. It doesn't interfere with people who wants to stay stock, and if it gets bricked doing some dev, they get a warranty call (and maybe they have to swap in 90% cases). Doesn't help anyone.

However I had a Milestone before (why did I buy another Moto afterwards questions my sanity) but even if it had a locked bootloader (and after stock 2.1 no update was given), devs could port froyo and finally CM7 and CM9. I am hoping in spite of the lock, we'll be able to port CM9/10, keeping the kernel same. I am hopeful as LG Thrill 4G, Motorola Droid 3 has CM9 already.

Well I'm offtopic already so don't bother replying :p

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclipse245:
Hey guys,

I was wondering if there are any special method of upgrading to CM10. Currently running the July 26 nightly of CM9 which I like very much, and I would like to upgrade to CM10.

Is it just as easy as upgrading nightlies, or are there any other steps that I need to take, like wiping caches and stuff?

Thanks!

-eclipse245
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
I would recommend wipe/factory reset also, its recommended since you're going from ICS to JB
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclipse245:
aww damn. Just finished installing all my apps and contacts. is there anything that great in CM10, do you know?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Well I'm on RootBox jelly bean, which is similar. Its just the cutting edge new. I like the google now and just the look and feel of it. But if you're not having problems with fcs and freezes dont worry about not wiping.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclipse245:
yeah, I'm honestly not having any issues with ICS right now, and I'm really liking the looks of Google Now, I'm guessing I can't get that on ICS?

Also, I may as well just install CM10 without wiping and see how it goes, and just backup what I have now with CWM just in case, sound like a solid plan? :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Yup. Always make a backup after/before you flash anything :) just in case.

Google now workaround - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747224

As for CM10, it was snappy most of the times but I did get lags from every now and then (more frequent than CM9) that made me switch back to CM9.

Loved Google now (well the new google search actually.. I ended up turning off Google now which is supposed to customize cards for you but I just wanted the weather). I loved the camera, the new animations and of course the new notifications. But other than Google now and the new notifications, I didn't think that I was losing much by switching back to ICS. Of course once hwcomposer is fixed, totally different story.

You can definitely nandroid CM9 and try CM10 out. I went back to CM9 because I had to reboot every now and then to relieve the lag but you might not get that :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Look in the theme section of arc for notification mods or system ui mods you may find what you want,

To install you need root, and an app called root explorer.

Move the mod to system/app making sure the permission are set correct.

Correct normally is

Rw

R

R

Reboot and your done.

If the mod has a zip file then use cwm recovery to install.

You could always search the forum/look carefully in the theme app threads for the system ui or notification mods.

[Asus Transformer TF700] rashid11:
Saw $600 model today on display at local store in NJ.

Looked slick enough, but battery of course was dead so I could not see the screen in all its glory.

Nor sure about the lesser $500 model. Plenty of docks. Bottom line is if you are dying to see one in person, head out to microcenter.

Personally I am still on the fence, that ole tf101 still chugging along.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
Microcenter has been really great with tablet support lately. They've been stocking more than just the mainstream stuff. I've seen the Acer a700 in stock in store, they have had Excite 7.7's in stock, and now it sounds like they intend to sell the TF700. Best Buy better watch out.

Oh and for those who are searching the Microcenter website to see if various products are in stock. Microcenter has a bad habit of not updating the website, when they do in fact have stuff in store. So if something isn't on the website don't assume they don't have it. Better to actually call your local store.

I only wish they had a better return policy. 14 days isn't very good.

Wonder why they would decide to have the $600 version and not the $500 version which would seem more likely to sell.

Edit: Holy Crap - I just checked and my local store has 10+ in stock! Not only that. They have 10+ of BOTH the 32GB and the 64GB model. What the hell is wrong with Best Buy!

Looks like I may on my way down there tomorrow morning.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i.amtom:
I'm loving my n7 at the moment and don't want to root it like I have with my other androids. I just want to know if anyone has information on when gwallet comes to the UK.

Google first said it will be in Q1 of 2012 which soon changed to in time before the Olympics. Now we're half way though the Olympics and Google hasn't said or done anything.

Its come to look like Google are terrible at release dates, as I had problems with Google giving dates when getting my n7, and now this. They also had big problems with the Q.

I also want to get the tablet home screen in landscape whilst keeping the softkeys as they are, any recommendations ?

I've tried apex but it wastes too much space and nova and stock are just the phone ui landscape.

Once again I'm trying to hold back from rooting.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NFC Guy:
Google have never given any such dates for the release of Google Wallet; you can't complain about them not meeting deadlines that they did not provide. The only passing comment that Google have made about Google Wallet's European release is that they want to have it in a European city before the end of 2012.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
There was unofficial hints about Google Wallet being out for the Olympics but that obviously never happened. Its looking like the Visa NFC app will launch before Google Wallet does.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] arpruss:
I am making an open source nightmode app for some rooted Galaxy phones. It has a bunch of modes, such as red, green, sepia, invert, etc. Red mode is good for preserving dark adaptation for use at night (e.g., astronomy). I like to read books in green on black print. Etc. ChainFire3D does some of this, but the quality of the red and green modes in GalacticNight is better (ChainFire3D just drops the green and blue components for the red mode, while GalacticNight renders green and blue in shades of red, which makes things look better).

The challenge of this app is that it is pretty hardware- and OS-dependent, and all I have is an Epic 4G Touch with GB. But I spent a long time looking at the ICS kernel source code for Galaxy series phones (including the Note). I also looked at an unrooted Galaxy Note on Samsung's Remote Testing Lab to see that control files were where I thought they would be (they were). Helpful testers on other forums have helped me get it more or less working on the Galaxy S2 and S3 with ICS (there was a problem with restoring the coloration after pressing the power button off and on; I don't yet have a report on whether the latest version fixes this). Now I'd like to get it working on the Note.

If you'd like to help, you can get the latest test build from here.

This is definitely test software. I cannot guarantee it won't do something terrible and unrecoverable to your display. But while I have had one user with an S3 report a freeze with an earlier version (this issue is now fixed), that freeze was easily recovered from by holding the power button long enough to power off the device and then rebooting. I would hope that any issues on the Note can be fixed by a reboot. (Note: Potentially the GB version might be a touch more risky as it has to modify files in /system/etc. However, the GB version has been thoroughly tested on the S2 by me.)

If you have the guts and time and want to test it, you will have my gratitude.

Eventually, the app might be extended to do other things, like adjust screen tint or sharpness. These things are quite easy to do once we get this running.

I am attaching a photo of this app in action on my GB-based S2. I can't attach a screenshot because the color adjustments happen between the framebuffer and the screen, so that the screenshot would look like nothing was happening.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] arpruss:
Bump.

Anybody try it yet on a Note? As of version 0.11 it was pretty stable on S2 GB, S2 ICS and S3 ICS, with one bug (the screen colors reverted if you turned off the screen in the GalacticNight app and turned it back on) that should be fixed in 0.12. The Note is a different phone, but I think its mdnie handling, at least under ICS, is very similar to the S2's, so there is a chance it'd work. Of course, at your own risk.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] richardkemp:
I just tried it on paranoid android 1.3 which is based on Cyanogenmod10 ie jelly bean. It worked perfectly!

I've always liked the idea of inverting screen colors for night time comfort, but found the end result is pretty similar in the end because all the nice dark areas you has before end up as bright white! Have a look at angel browser, it has an 'inverted' mode which does something slightly different, resulting in less extreme bright areas.

It would also be great to be able to have per-channel fine control of the colors.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] arpruss:
Eventually. It's more complicated than it seems, actually--the mDNIe engine lets you separately set RGB for each of eight basic colors (cyan, yellow, white, black, red, etc.). But to adjust each of eight colors is overwhelming. A user sent me a clever way that would let you do some of this.

I may do a lite version with just the presets and a pro version with the ability to create up to four custom settings.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] arpruss:
Not really a bug. The OS returns the screen to something like normal after turning it back on. As soon as GalacticNight finds out that the screen was turned on, it turns it back. But unfortunately the notification is broadcast by the OS with some delay, and so GalacticNight is a bit behind.

I could get around this by watching the system log and thereby find out sooner about the screen coming back on, but that would use more system resources, and I am not sure that's worth it for preventing this flash.

Another trick, and maybe that's the best move, would be for GalacticNight to cover up the screen with a dark overlay when the screen is being turned off, and then only remove the overlay only once it has managed to restore the color mode.

Maybe the overlay could just have a larger version of the GalacticNight logo.
