[Galaxy Note II General] CalcProgrammer1:
For me, the biggest con of the Note II is the aspect ratio. I love the 16:10 (1280x800) screen on the Note I (i717) because it gives extra vertical height when browsing and using a large onscreen keyboard like Hacker's Keyboard. Going to 16:9 seems counter-productive, they made the screen area smaller but the physical screen larger, to me this doesn't make sense. I want to see one in person, but the extra vertical height (in landscape mode, as I use my Note more as a tablet than a phone) was one of the main reasons I chose the Note 1 over the Galaxy Nexus when I got it.

Second is the Exynos platform. I run CM on my Note and would want to run CM on the Note 2 if I had one. With Samsung not releasing much in terms of documentation or code for Exynos, CM development is likely to go at a snail's pace until it is either reverse engineered or Samsung finally releases the stuff. The i717 is based on Qualcomm's APQ8060 SoC unlike the Exynos found in the International Note.

If CM development gains pace and I see one in person and judge the screen to be better, I might switch, but for now I'll stick with my original Note.

As for AMOLED vs. IPS I'd say AMOLED hands down. The black levels on OLED are unbeatable, all I can see looking at LCD-based phones and tablets is gray, lots and lots of gray. OLED does have a very vivid, saturated picture but I personally like the vivid bright colors.
[Galaxy Note II General] Livebyte:
Finally someone agrees with me.

Not like the many trolls defending their beloved Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] Clark Joseph Kent:
All

Here is the deal, if don't want a GNote 2 fine, but why would make a thread about it and put it in the GNote 2 Threads. If you do not want a GNote 2 or do not have a GNote 2 then find your device forum threads and go there....;) Thank You and....

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markhimself:
Ok guys, so this is my problem.

As you all know the RAZRi has 8gb of built in storage, but as I am aware, there is a 5gb virtual sd card which you have access to, for installing apps etc. The rest is for os. Now when you insert an sd card it counts as a 2nd sd card.

So you get 5gb of data fofjr apps, but as i think the phone thinks its on an sd card already, you cant move apps to your external sd card.

So when you have a few large games like max payne, that 5gb disappears real quick.

I have tried manually moving data for apps to my sd card but it did not work and the apps would not load.

What are your suggestions?

On my old motorola defy you could just install apps to either the internal storage or the sd card, nice and simple.

Can you disable this feature or is there a way to install large apps to external media.

Thanks in advance!!!!
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmesler:
Yes I found it rather odd too. Also the SD mount point has got a very funny path. It is /mnt/external1

I am afraid that I must disappoint you here. According to person called "Badger1313" most of root exploits are through the App file transfer software. Due to the fact Motorola decided to secure this vulnerability by disabling 'Move to SD'.

Uncle Google came unhelpful this time giving me no answers to this question. The only valid way to make it possible is to have your phone rooted. Lets hope :D JB will bring some changes.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackyJack:
Razr I is "rootable" so how to mount sdcard to /sdcard ?

Maybe some stuff to edit in init.d !?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Le_Poilu:
Maybe something like this:

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/use-external-sd-card-as-internal-memory-on-droid-razr/
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackyJack:
For sure, but at the moment this is still not possible to flash anything from the recovery.

Would a manual editing of the vold.fstab file to set the following line work ?

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc0

(still did not buy this awesome phone)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehunt33r:
Or maybe using Directory Bind, don't know but I use it to mount my SD Card on diferent points for my SGS2.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Le_Poilu:
I did try a manual edit of vold.stab, unsuccessfull :(

Each time I still have the intern memory accessible and extern1 still here but empty.

Here is the vold.fstab file of the Razr i, if you have an idea what to change.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackyJack:
Well, actually the vold.fstab file on the Razr i only handle the scard-ext partition (wich I don't know what it's used for, but for sure this not /sdcard either /external1).

I guess there is some init script somewhere or config file regarding sdcard and external1 mappings.

BUT, as /sdcard is mounted from internal memory, if you replace it with your µSD, then you'll lost the space used by the /mnt/sdcard partition, unless you mount it elsewhere...

I may be wrong there...
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Le_Poilu:
I think you right about this.

This is what appends for Droid Razr user when they use this:

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/use-external-sd-card-as-internal-memory-on-droid-razr/

External SD take the place of internal SD.

For me it's a very little problem. I can lost 5GB if I win 32GB on the other side (or even more as the Razr i can handle 64GB SDXC card.)

But maybe can we have both. My first android phone was the first Samsung Galaxy i7500 which had 8BG of internal SD storage and a SDHC extension slot. Both internal and external was fully usable as SDCard

Maybe with a custom ROM in the futur.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackyJack:
Yeah, maybe we should focus first on tweaking the recovery so we can flash custom roms, this partition stuff looks like deep modding...

I am looking for some documentation about our partition tables, don't really know where to find what size are /boot, /system and all other partition that may exists...

[HTC Sensation] Worbit Jiminage:
Hi guys. So basically I was using ARHD on my Sensation and all was well. I was using the ROM

for weeks then one day the phone randomly just switched off. Since then (about 2 weeks ago) my

phone has been doing this at least 4 times a day, sometimes I would be on 80%, it would turn off,

then once I rebooted it it goes down to like 20% (A couple of reboots fixed the issue.) I have calibrated the battery,

but still these issues persist. I have downgraded the firmware from 3.33 to 3.32. Same problem. I've done fresh installs of

ROMs using both firmwares yet still the problem persists, I've even tried restoring some backups but that hasn't

helped either. I think that in the past 2 weeks, I have only been able to go from a full charge to about 5% twice without it rebooting.

Thanks for the help guys.
[HTC Sensation] goatee84:
How old is your sensation? A number of other users have solved their rebooting issues by placing a small piece of card in the top of the battery housing to ensure a tight fit. Simply a problem with the battery not fitting as well as it did when new as the contacts degrade.

Give that a try since it's pretty easy, best to rule out the simple stuff first ;)
[HTC Sensation] Tellif_42:
Same problem

Same problem here, even with the card. Taking out the battery doesn't fix the problem, but it does when you take out the SIM card and microSD too... if only for a few minutes. Also noticed overheating issues, even when clocked at 810MHz running JB :/

Ideas???
[HTC Sensation] wlteh:
Which kernel are you using? Do you Undervolt (UV)? If you do, then try not to UV and see if the phone becomes more stable.
[HTC Sensation] teeebor:
Random reboot is the rom's or the corrupt firmware's fault, and don't mess with your processor voltage. You can overclock but without under/overvolt.

I'm using Team Venom's ViperS rom, overclocked to 1.7 GHz and never rebooted
[HTC Sensation] ridder215215:
It could also be a battery problem, have you recently bought a new battery (Anker, Saner..)?
[General Questions and Answers] Skere:
Hi, Is it better to let the phone be charged (at 100%) by the ext battery and let the ext battery drain or

let the normal battery drain and then charge it with the ext battery?

Which one gives more total battery life? Also is keeping the battery charged at 100% bad for it?

In your scenario, you have 2 batteries, so total battery life can mean different things. Read this page for more information (the site has lots of very informative stuff).

Seems that ever since I bagan using ROM's on my N7 I have been unable to automatically sync my gmail. This is the 3rd one that I've tried. Ensured that all settings are set up correctly (Gmail sync and Email notifications on) and of course my GNex has no issues retrieving email. I can manually tell it to sync and it will, but otherwise nothing. Tried deleting the account and restoring and not seeing any change. Also cleared the cache and nothing changed. Anyone else have this issue?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcomesa:
Since yesterday I have the same issue. I had to reinstalla the rom on my phone, restore all the apps with TB, everything works but the mail even if it is checked sync they don't sync...the same for calendar too. I have to manual sync.

Tried delete account, uncheck e check sync, delete cache , delete update and redo update...nothing seems work...I really don't know what to do...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leelaa:

My power widget doesn't have any "sync" button, just wifi, brightness, rotation and bluetooth...I have an ICS rom...

I notice if I take a look in the google account settings, even if the email is sync checked the time of syncing doesnt cheange, it is the last I manually sync...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leelaa:

Honestly I'm really confused... Don't know what to do...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4fne:
Hi Folks.

I bought a Nexus 7 last week. It worked faultlessly and very happy. It done a first system update with no problem. It then tried a second update to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, which caused it to freeze upon start up at the Google "X" logo. I tried recovery and rebooting but no amount of resetting would allow it passed this point and therefore unable to access the unit.

I returned item to retailer as faulty and replaced this morning. This replacement done exact same thing following Jelly Bean 4.1.2 update. I spoke with Google play (not purchaased from them) who confirmed there have been similar issues for others, and that this replacement also needs to be returned.

I am now on my 3rd Nexus 7 .... It has updated to 4.1.1 with no issue earlier and is now inviting me to update to 4.1.2 which i am reluctant to do.

Can anyone confirm if they have had same problem & whether they got round this issue ??

Can i skip the 4.1.2 update & wait for the next update, or do i need to install to get to any new releases ??.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunNgun42:
The only way to block the updates is to root your device and freeze the update program. Google is annoying about this and always tries to force their updates down your throat, so you're going to keep getting this over and over.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4fne:
Thanks for response. Do you know whether as and when Google release a further update (ie 4.2) would I be able to download without downloading 4.1.2 ??
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunNgun42:
I personally dont know, but the info might be out there on some sort of public timeline. A lot of custom roms that you can download will already have the update process frozen so you dont have to worry about it if you plan on going that route.

I think selling it in ebay or in xda market place is the best way to go. The forum is full of members owning a doubleshot and it's very unlikely they'll consider buying another one.(although I bought another one myself).

Also you should lower the price a bit. I bought my 1st doubleshot for $220 including international shipping & the 2nd one for $180 a month ago(no shipping fee).

Dan (@djrbliss) has posted the root method.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32888705&postcount=1

Despite my strong belief that people who are interested in rooting should buy devices with unlocked bootloaders instead of expecting the magical hackers in the sky to give out free exploits (which are in short supply), I'm once again continuing to encourage bad behavior by publishing another root exploit:

http://vulnfactory.org/public/motofail2go_windows.zip

Instructions:

1. Download and extract the entire zip file.

2. Ensure your device is connected via USB and that you have installed the latest ADB drivers from Motorola.

3. Double-click "run.bat" and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. The exploit will ask you to press a button combination at one point.

If the exploit prints an error saying something like "run-as: Package 'com.motorola.bug2go' is unknown", then unfortunately you will have to wipe your data and cache partitions and try again.

This exploit should work on the Razr M, Atrix HD, Photon Q, Razr i (you might need to replace some of the binaries with x86 versions?), and the upcoming Razr HD.
