Am I the only who having trouble in connecting the MTP of Razr I on Ubuntu? I've already installed both libmtp9 and mtp-tools but my computer doesn't detect the phone.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfrsm.eco:
Same problem here...
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr-XXX:
Have you tried using AirDroid? I also want to check its compatibility with the Intel chip.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeSilva:
Yes, it's working well.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbanbury:
Yes I had trouble too, which is odd for an android device. They usually place nice with penguins

There are tutorials to manually mount via MTP but I could get this only to mount and show the folders, but unable to transfer/view files.

The gmtp package works nicely for transferring images etc but it had a hissy fit when I tried to transfer my music folder across...

In the end I just gave up and installed OSX :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Google Now was very slow on my Galaxy Nexus, I've tried everything. Today I was playing around with custom launchers and dpi settings and voila I found a fix. It works for me but hopefully it should work for you. If you are using a custom launcher, make sure "Persistent Search Bar" is set to always. I've disabled this since the ICS days as I've only wanted a search bar on one screen, so I assume a lot of you have as well.

I set this to on and Google Now is flying. Almost instant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
hmmmm interesting....i din think that would b the reason...thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
I see no reason that would have any affect on Google Now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
I was surprised at first too. I spread this fix on a different forum and about 20 people or so have confirmed that it made a difference for them.

Sent from my PARANOID ANDROID
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dingokevin:
That makes sense it keeps Google search in the back ground. Google now is Google Search
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
Correction. Doesn't affect Google now. I m on rasbean. G.now used to load in about 1.5 sec,still takes the same time. If I keep g.now off,search loaded in 0.5s from swipe up. Same with this.

THIS. IS. NEXUS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Trigster:
I'm running Liquid JB with Nova Launcher.

I did noticed the HUGE slow down, as it would almost take a good 10-15 seconds for GN to fully load up.. And even then the voice search was horribly slow.

Just tired this little tidbit and it works like a charm now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKeeperOfPie:
Yeah, dingokevin's got the right idea.

Having the "persistent search bar" basically keeps the QuickSearchBox.apk in the background memory. Google Now is run off of that same .apk, so it is also run in the background. The search bar in the launcher is an app that has to be called by the launcher, and thus keeping the search bar keeps Google Now.

Unfortunately, I'd like to find a way to do this without the search bar. I feel it ruins the look of the desktop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsomaniax:
Great find! I've been battling this problem for a long time. I'm using paranoid android running nova launcher. Thanks!!! This fix should be stickied!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Turn off Hot word in voice settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
I've always had persistent search bar turned on and have always found Google Now to be slow. If this fix really works then I can't imagine how slow Google Now must have been for people who disabled it lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DavidXSU:
Just turned it off and its instantaneous now.

Sent from my SGH-T999
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhoepfin:
This is a good hint, turning off hot word. Also I got to looking at google now and turned off traffic, wonder if this will help with the google maps wakelocks.... hmm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
This doesn't do anything. Been running Now without persistent search bar since day 1 of JB and never ANY lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagiballs:
where are the settings for hot words? I can't seem to find it in the google now settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Go to Language & Input in Settings then go to the bottom and click "Voice Search", it will be in there. Also worked for me as well, great find!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagiballs:
works amazing on stock JB 4.1.2

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
Great find
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fayosi:
Jesus Christ......Google Now Fly's literally with Hot word off. Amazing Find !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier-2Point0:
I'm don't understand why your post was so useful for that many people? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
Because it made Google Now faster to load?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ep3n3wp:
Wow... I don't think I've ever seen It work so fast before!!!!

Thank you!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] architekt666:
My Google now is loading very fast !! Thanx.

Ps. But ... i have a feeling that i killed something inside my JB nexus. :(

l'll revert it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pennywisdom:
Ho boy! That really makes it fly! I had persistent search bar already but turning off that hot word that I never used anyway really did it. I was waiting for 5+ seconds after tapping for the keyboard to come up, now it's lightning fast!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsomaniax:
Any more speed tips!? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
I really hope everyone force closed Google Now first before swiping up to bring Google Now again and marveling that a background app loads quickly :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
Mine is fast on eos, it uses a different opening animation to speed it up. But the damn fact that every time you swipe a card away it states that it comes back and that pisses me off. I know its a bug, I don't know if its something I'm doing to cause it or if Google needs to fix it or what.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Turn off all animations...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
I take it 'Hot Word' is a US-only feature? Don't have it on my GNex...not that it wasn't fast in the first place!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
US English only
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAlbee:
Since we're talking about Google Now and load speed, does anyone actually have Offline Speech Recognition working? I have US English ticked, but anytime I'm away from data connection, the speech recognition never finishes loading.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fallingd0wn:
Wouldn't having a search widget on one of your home screens accomplish the same thing as a persistent search bar as far as keeping it running in the background? I've always ran the bar on a single screen and notice no difference in loading times when using persistent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DavidMT909:
I've been out of the forums for awhile and out of touch with things. Is there a Jelly Bean ROM for the Note where the S Pen and everything works, I guess a stock based ROM? Thanks. And any recommendations on kernels? I believe I was using dagkernel 0.2 last.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
The Paranoid Android ROM from JamieD can use SPen. I am sure you are aware that unless they are a TouchWiz based Mod with the apps, you will have to find alternatives.

That is the ROM I use. There is a Kernel available for it as well, but I dont feel the need to OC so I stay on the stock Kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
PA will make you cry tears of joy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DavidMT909:
So I downloaded ParanoidAndroid 2.21 and Gapps. I did 3 data wipes as well as cache and dalvik. When I installed the ROM and Gapps and rebooted it went back to my old ROM. I never saw Paranoid. I think maybe because I have an old recovery if that has something to do with it. I am on Android 2.3.6 running ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4. If I need to update, how do I do this? I have downloaded recovery-clockwork-5.8.4.8-quincyatt but it's an .img file and I am reading I need to get into fastboot to install and have no idea what to do. And if possible, I strongly prefer the non touch ClockworkMod, I don't like the idea of accidentally touching the screen and messing up, buttons are much safer and convenient for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] d3adbroke:
I updates my cwm through the from manager app on the play store
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DavidMT909:
I have downloaded that, but when I go to do it, it doesn't show the Note as an option??? Also, I have SGH-I717. I just want a Jelly Bean ROM that the S Pen works with that I can overclock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmcquake:
Are you getting an error when flashing the PA ROM? Otherwise, I can imagine why it isn't flashing.

Are you following these steps:

1. Wipe dalvik, cache, system, and factory reset

2. Flash PA rom

3. wipe cache and dalvik (probably not necessary but I do it anyway)

4. Flash GAPPS

5. Reboot

Even though you seem adverse to using a touch recovery, I would highly recommend you use TWRP instead of CWM as your custom recovery. I have had fewer issues and errors using TWRP. It is a better custom recovery IMHO.

I hope this helps! After using PA you'll never feel the need to change your ROM again :)!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DavidMT909:
I redownloaded it thinking it may be a bad download. This is what I get after deleting dalvik, cache, factory reset/data and trying to install...

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "SGH-I717" || getprop ("ro.build.product") == "SGH-I717" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "quincyatt" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "quincyatt"

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmcquake:
Looks like an issue with CWM. I still recommend switching to TWRP even though you've stated that you'd prefer a non-touch recovery.

[LG Optimus 3D] Cav3:
So i was thinking to take a hdr picture you need to capture 2 pictures one over exposed and one under.

well because when you use an app made for HDR they have a little gap between each picture where the exposure adjusts .

So with our phone having 2 cameras would it not be possible to capture both exposed images at exactly the same time so then the picture will not blur? for example the left camera takes the high exposure and the right takes the low exposure then blends them together the same way other hdr apps do it.?

just an idea. cos its hard to capture hdr images on objects that move like cars/animals.
[LG Optimus 3D] defcomg:
The Alignment will be off 3D Cameras are spaced far from each other the resulting image lacks symmetry for the above method to work perfectly you would need to realign them in photoshop or a similar app which defeats the purpose of doing it furthermore you will be capped @ 3mp

Symmetrical IMAGE

3D Image

THe Overlaid image below

it Possible tho you have to edit TiCamera.xml and set Camera 1 EV to -3 and Camera 3 to +3
[Windows 8 General] pistol44:
Some of my Metro apps either no longer launch or launch but do not load or work once loaded.. Here's what I did:

I recently discovered how much I liked the Music app so I decided to import some music by adding libraries through "computer" and "libraries" and "properties". For some reason some playlists were being picked up so I did something very dumb and allow sharing of my whole C: in hopes for it to pick up some music that the Music app had a hard time finding.

Well that royally screwed some things up and stopped my Metro apps from opening. I guess messing with sharing permissions wasn't a smart idea. I couldn't find any way to un-do so what I did so I tried to do a system restore to a restore point from earlier that day. After restoring I noticed some Metro apps on the had a little "x" in the bottom right corner of the tile. I clicked on it and it took me to a message saying that the app could no longer run because my developer license had expired. Funny, but I never had a dev license to begin with nor do I know what that has to do with anything. So naturally I uninstalled the apps that wouldn't work (approx. 6) and re-installed them. Most worked, some still did not.

Once re-installed I noticed that "Tweetro" (twitter app) opens but no longer shows anything but the logo on the top left corner. Just a black screen. I can access the charms bar but nothing else. So I tried another twitter client which just opened but wouldn't allow me to sign in, just kept showing the "click here to sign in" no matter how much I clicked sign in.

The Sports app just auto closes if I try to launch it. Same with the News app. When I go into Ebay now it just shows "loading" on all the tiles. I've no confirmed that it was in fact a problem I created due to allowing sharing of the C drive. Apparently the hidden folder "app data" is the culprit and causes this problem when shared. I'd like to know how to un-do this problem without a refresh or reset of Windows. Apparently undoing sharing privileges from the "app data" folder does not resolve things.

[Nokia Lumia 800] true-blue:
I'm loking for new phone, and it would be my first smarthphone, First i loked at Lumia 710 cause of the price, but now i got some more money and i changed my mind, and and i dont know which to buy, in your exp which is better, are for what reason.

For now i like lumia more because of design and feel in the hand but my worries are about hardware, P has better proc, graphics, ramm....etc

and what about battery life and usage of it, a heard that battery of P is bad.
[Nokia Lumia 800] surya467:
get a lumia, Xperia P i think will not be getting JB, and also has a very bad battery backup.
[Nokia Lumia 800] kaspar737:
Its not like the Lumia is getting WP8 either...
[Nokia Lumia 800] surya467:
No..Lumia is not getting WP8 because WP8 requires additional hardware..so if u look carefully..WP7.8 is WP8 without the hardware...MS are not promising you WP8 because it cant be delivered without the same hardware..hence they said 7.8!

simple.
[Nokia Lumia 800] vnvman:
If I were you I'd get the Xperia because of the screen, which looks better IMHO. However, if I really were you I wouldn't get an Android, ever again. Anyway picking the 800 now isn't very smart, it's nearly EOL and not as cheap as other equally EOL WP devices. I'd get an Omnia W for the time being...not that fancy but overall it's a better bang for the buck IMHO, and if you're lucky you can also unlock it. Too bad I've lost mine, it was a cool phone for the price.
[Nokia Lumia 800] surya467:
considering unlocks...u can go for the lumia 710 , which is rooted or just have a wait fro the WP8 ! :D
[HTC Sensation] Mikeparakh:
Hi Guys,

I've been using Paranoid Android for some time now and love it. I have just downloaded the latest version, performed Dragun's wipe script and when trying to install, I keep getting an error stating a status 7, some symlinks failed. I have tried re-downloading the rom, plus a previous version as well as full wiping everything and factory reset to no avail. Has anyone had this issue? Can anyone help?

I have just tried to install another rom to get past this for now, however it appears the phone is now stuck on the loading screen... Any help would be appreciated.

I would post in the development thread for the rom, however as I haven't posted before, I don't have sufficient permissions.

Cheers,

Mike

I got my Viewsonic G Tab a few years ago from Woot and rooted it with Vegan. I have recently dug it out and dusted it off and was wondering if 1) I need to update Vegan and 2) How do I clear my data from it so someone else can use it, but still keep Vegan on it? I'm asking the latter because I did do the resetting under Privacy, etc., and it still shows my Gmail and Amazon accounts so it doesn't appear to be "wiped." Thanks!
