[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pennex1:
Thanks for the clearification. I bought my Galaxy off Amazon new. It did not come with a sim card. I took the sim card out of my HTC Inspire and plugged into the Galaxy and was able to make calls right a way. So I presume the phone is unlocked already.

The reason I was confused with rooting and unlocking is because I rooted my Inspired and doing so it also unlocked the phone and was able to use it any where.

Thanks again
[General Topics] BrickingRainbows:
Sorry to bother you all. I have recently purchased a Next2. I failed to update it and most likely need a backup rom. If anyone has the time to help me muddle through this I'd be extremely grateful.

I found a thread and searched through it diligently, however I wasn't able to ascertain what methods were used to fix the tablet.

If I'm not wrong, I read in a tread somewhere that we can build a custom kernel for the stock ROM with functional wireless, i tried to build the kernel, but the wireless end up not working(wireless modules loads, but Settings menu switch not working), even with the kernel sources from samsung. I tried the method inside the README in the .tar.gz.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArtist8:
So using my Nexus S, when I long press the home button my "Recent Apps" come up. I've also heard this was a "Task Manager" as well and I just want to confirm if it is.

I'm currently running cm10 JB and I just want to know if I should be going through the list and swipping apps closed if they're in fact taking up RAM.

Thanks,
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Not a direct answer to question but you shouldn't be worried about killing apps to free ram period.

Unless there is a issue let Android handle it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArtist8:
Yeah but if I notice my phone slowing down a bit I just want to be sure it's not because of that. I used to have a task killer but haven't downloaded it since I got cm10
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] converse5:
dont use a task killer, some processes re open after closing thus it would mean much more work!

its just an advice, and about your ques it shos recent apps, not a task manager,
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 309041291a:
A while ago I read that it does kill the app, or moves it to something else. I'm honestly not sure. If you really* want to kill the app enable hold-back-to-kill setting in the developer options.

Nexus S. (GSM i9020a)

Paranoid (1.97a - 4.1.1)

Air Kernel (Week 182 - Voodoo)

SmartassV2 (1000/200)

Deep Idle (On - Deadline)

Black Exodus (Inverted apps)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] edufur:
So, I stayed on LG2, and from what I have been reading, I am glad I did. I tried CM10 on one of the earlier builds and just before I was about to give up, I went with the 8-10 build. So far, it is everything I need and I am without issues. I hear that the 8-12 build has issues though.

So....

Stick with LG2... or even consider ODINing back if you are presently on LG8... and go with CM10 8/10. You wont regret it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Zaphon:
I personally think it's a bit more of a "try" and see what works best for you. I'm on LG8, and I have no complaints, but I know that each version of the radio has it's own pro's and con's, and it's not so black and white as you put it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtr145r:
try to JB kernel by ktoonsez too

if you set it up right you will get insane battery life.

ive been off the charger for about 36 hours now and wont have to plug it back in until tomorrow morning. i should make it to 48 hours.

thats normal use too. im doing nothing different.

normally id only get 12-14 hours tops.

not sure why the battery is so good but im not complaingin

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisbass:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtr145r:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PolarisX:
I'm on LG8 with the 8/12 build and I have zero problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisbass:
What modem were you on before? I've been on LF9 since I got the phone and have been thinking of switching to LG8 due to a week signal where I live....I'm also on the 8/12 build
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
Personally, I installed CM2 +LG8 to get CMLG10.

(Seriously though, our phone radios have so much variation that each radio is different for most people)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
I had problems in the beginning with this phone and the Airvana dropping 3g constantly. I've tried all radios several times, LG8 seems to barely ever drop 3g. I have stronger voice signal also.

Where can i get LG8 firmware and bits? I have looked everywhere it seems!!!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] maango:
So, I finally have got my hands on another Milestone which means that I can play around with different ROMs as much as I like and still be able to be sure that people can call me on my stable phone. But, installing ~20 apps by hand and restore of messages every time is a pain in the as and therefore I would like to simply make a backup on the SD card and apply all the apps.

I thought that I could simply make a backup via Titanium Backup to SD-Card 1, copy that content to SD-Card 2, install TB on my other Milestone (which uses SD-Card 2) and just restore that way as you do every time you install a new ROM but no, TB can't find anything to restore.

Any thoughts how I should do? :confused:

*Milestone 1 uses CM 7.1.5 and Milestone 2 uses CM 9 4.0.4
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Dave Lister:
TB allows you to change to change the directory on the SD card it uses for backups. Make sure it's looking in right one on the 2nd Milestone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] maango:
Thx man, turned out the folder with the backup was inside the TB folder (sd/TitaniumBackup/TitaniumBackup/"all backup files").

Well, TB manages to restore some of the apps but not all of em...hmmm...

Think I'm going for installing all the apps by hand insted, takes longer but at least works. Hehe. :p
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] janosik47:
As my understanding is with app2ext (default with Kabaldan's CM ROMs) to install all apps you need only copy them from MM1's ext into MM2's ext. During restart all apps should get installed. Obviously its just apps no data, but here the TB may help...

One command, if moving from one ROM to an other do not copy the lib dir from the ext partition.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anoymonos:
I see this app in alot of roms maybe all have them not sure but what if anything can the average user do with these or should we just stay away all together
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sil3nt Pr0digy:
If you don't know what they do, best thing is to not really mess with them.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
One useful thing I find in some of the ICS ROMs is the ability to long-press the back button to kill the foreground app. That has saved me more than a couple reboots when a Google app hangs.

"Stay awake" (when USB plugged) is another option that some might find useful.

Of course, "Android USB debugging" needs to be on if you want to use ADB.
[Xperia Play General] DubleJayJ:
You guys have been doing really good with developing ROMs and all but, how come you guys haven't considered working on Kexec? Considering that is our only current idea for a bootloader bypass.

If any of you guys agree, then post here and share some ideas.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Might be because there is a way to unlock your phones bootloader. Either via Sony's unlock website or through alejandrossimo for $24. But yeah. I think I saw a thread as a wip for kexec.
[Xperia Play General] DubleJayJ:
That dude gave up. Everyone knows it. The devs could get that complete in days, or a week or two. With how talented most of them are, it can be done. The opportunity of Kexec has been there. Why haven't they been working on it?
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
I think it won't, why?

We can't read/write to the boot partition when booting. And most devs have a unlocked r800i
[Xperia Play General] DubleJayJ:
What partition is it reading then when it boots?
[Xperia Play General] markcyst:
Why haven't you been working on it?
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
i was thinking this lol.
[Xperia Play General] DubleJayJ:
If I could code, I would.

Why haven't you been working on it?
[Xperia Play General] AmericanCon:
That's easy to say. I haven't been working on it Cuz i don't care. You seem to care quite a bit. Apparently more so than any of the developers here. So I would suggest learning and doing it yourself.
[Xperia Play General] markcyst:
It doesn't interest me.

No developer could code before they learned how to. And chances are they learned because they wanted to help themselves instead of relying on others.
[Xperia Play General] wuby:
This needs popcorn.

Just learn it.
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
Let's not start a flame war, guys. Kexec isn't as necessary for us as it is for Motorola devices because we actually do have a method for unlocking. Sure, for quite a few of us it actually costs money, but we still have a method. If we didn't, someone would have figured out a way around, but since they didn't need to...

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 121C4:
camera zoom fx but the picture quality decreases massively as you zoom

cheers,

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NimeniAltu:
That's because zooming means cutting the image.:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 121C4:
Of course but our ace isn't really capable of zoom, the picture quality is too bad. Rather get closer to your subject than use zoom.

cheers,

Rich
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tovagulet:
Zoom is very pointless in a phones camera.

Its just a digital zoom...

Digital zoom just mean its will resize image to get a bigger image of the object...

So you can zoom manually yourself by editing the image and zooming it.

no difference from camera zoom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBison420:
I saw this app in another thread and figured i would share.... This made a huge difference in the responsiveness on my AOKP galaxy note.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.shop4apps.touchscreenbooster.com&hl=en

I changed touch sensitivity to 90, and defaul motion to 1 - This increased the response time greatly when i swipe the screen. I am using APEX Launcher PRO, Btw.

Let me know if you install and works for you guys :)

**EDIT**

* actually guys i think lower values increase the sensitiity. here are my new settings:

Sensitivity = 0

Duration to register touch = 0

Minimum motion = 10

Filter = 46

Mult-touch = 5

I barely have to press the screen and it swipes great. You can use a really soft touch

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yollasho:
Honestly not seeing a real difference. I'll keep playing with it though.

Are any of you perhaps using screen protectors? I'm not and I can't discern a difference in swiping and touch needed over default Maybe I need to slow down some of my animations.

I'll keep messing around. :thumbup:

Edit, meant to say my sensitivity only lets me go to minimum of 10. On cm9. Maybe that's why.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
never use screen protectors.....they make me chafe :eek: :silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yollasho:
Same :beer:

Just not seeing any discernible difference with this app. Nova prime, nova animations set to fast, cm9 nightly, animations .5 scale, 1512 ondemand, force gpu checked. Meh, guess I should be applying for jobs anyways lol. :thumbdown:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBison420:
This app doesn't modify the smoothness or speed of the framework, it is for responsiveness of the touch screen. For instance, the difference it made for me was that i barely had to apply pressure to the touchscreen for the swiping functionality to work. It responds better
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBison420:
I cannot stand those damn things! it doesn't even feel the same
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yollasho:
Yeah, I realize that, just seems to behave the same. Or at least I can't notice it. I already barely swipe my finger and it goes with no effort.

Edit-maybe makes app drawer swiping a bit more definite. If I had more than one homescreen might notice it more. Lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
I've set everything (except the number of touch points) to minimum and I can see a slight but noticeable difference.

I've always noticed a slight lag from when my swipe starts and when the screen "snaps" to my swipe. The lag seems to be gone now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBison420:
how do you only have 1 homescreen? LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBison420:
Yeah, it's like there is a bit of intermittent lag to the responsiveness of the swipe and this app appears to kill it. Glad it works for you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mv1luv:
Ima fire it up now.. o and yea I only have one screen also.. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:

SOURCE : Kickedface :cool:

When Google launched Honeycomb, one of the selling points was that the action bar was always at the bottom of the tablet, where you needed it, no matter how you turned the device. With smartphone and tablet designs today looking pretty similar from any direction you look at it, telling which way is up might be a little difficult, but Google’s newest patent looks to help you with that problem. Source : Droid-Life

The patent shows a phone with a microphone and speaker installed into each end of the device, and when the time comes to actually use your phone as a phone, the device will tell which end is up, and activate the speaker and microphone accordingly.

It’s an interesting patent that could lead to even more interesting phone designs. Time will only tell though if Google actually puts the IP to any use.
[Android General] chaki-:
Thats awsome! I am glad to see Google actually innovate and take the patent for something. But i am almost sure that apple would copy that and claim that they came first :laugh:

I'm French, and i bought my phone in England (i lived there for few month)

I have a Barclays Bank Account, and i want to use their App on my phone BUT Google Play answer "This Item Can Not Be Installed On Your Device Country"

I know i can use Market Unlocker, but i don't want to ROOT my phone :o

Can someone who have a Google UK Phone give me the .APK from Google Play ?

You can use the app "App Backup & Restore" to do it !

[Off-topic] Archer:
I installed it but it's a zip not an apk. I've found it to be hit & miss as to whether you can side-install zips. Some work, some don't. Copy it into /data/apps - might need a reboot.

But it doesn"t work ...

Can you try with this app please, to have it in .APK

How-To > droidlessons.com/how-to-backup-android-apps-and-save-them-to-apk-file/

Big Thanks !
[Off-topic] Archer:
It doesn't show up in that app, probably because it's a zip not an apk.

Looks like you're stuck with rooting and using Market Enabler. Any reason you don't want to do that? You could unroot immediately after.
[Off-topic] venux:
Because i just need the .apk and that so easy to have it with application

So if you can give me the .APK it will be okay and i will not need to root / unroot my phone
[Off-topic] Archer:
It isn't an apk, so it doesn't matter what app I use. I did try the app, just so I can say "yes, I tried it", despite knowing it would not work. Even renaming the zip to an apk file doesn't work, which is another hit-and-miss method to get zip files to install.

If you really don't want to root your phone then you may need to forget about having this app.
[Off-topic] ShadowCodeGaming:
Stupid question: Can't you just change the exstension to .apk? Wouldn't that work?
[Off-topic] venux:
I tried to rename to .apk

I can see the icon APK but can't install it (doesn't work)

I used an application to backup APK in the past, and i had .APK , and Work great .. so i don't understand

I tried your Market (vendor.apk) but doesn't work too
[Off-topic] ShadowCodeGaming:
Sorry. Thats what i get for not refreshing on time. But still, wierd that it doesn't work.
[Off-topic] Archer:
All that application does is copy the apk file from /data/apps or /system/apps. If there is no apk file then it won't work. I've come across a few apps that when installed from google play are installed as zip files, but you can't install them on any other device. Rooting or forgetting about it are your two options.
[Off-topic] SimonTS:
There might well be a second problem anyway. Even if you do, somehow, manage to get the .apk file in original format and install it on your device, you may well find that Barclays block your access based on location. If that is the case then rooting would be your only option anyway.

I don't understand - you've been a member on this site for 4 years, this is the first time you have felt the need to post anything and you are too scared to root your phone! Why are you on a phone developers site?
[Off-topic] gbroon:
Rooting wouldn't help much anyway. Barclays apps don't work with root. Even recognises your rooted if you use a temp unroot.
[Off-topic] Archer:
So you root, install the app without running it and then unroot.
[Off-topic] ShadowCodeGaming:
Or you root, use marketenabler and unrpot, after which u can install the app.

You need to check if the one you're looking to buy is already able to use any carriers SIm... if it isn't then there are people on ebay who will be able to unlock it for you and it should only cost you a few pounds.
