[Windows 8 General] butch_bs:
Wondering... Did Windows 8 64bit require something more than Windows 8 32bit, except more HDD space and compatible CPU.

Yesterday I buy upgrade for Windows 7 to Windows 8. Upgrade Assistant downloads windows and I burn DVD. When try to install it Setup copies some files, restarted Windows 7 and there appears Windows 8 logo.. After some time PC is restarting and return to Windows 7. Tried to boot from Windows 8 DVD, but again - logo, restart...

After that I download Windows 8 32bit and Windows 8 64bit from MSDN. When try to install 64bit - logo, reset...

But when try to install 32bit - everything is OK. It runs great.

MB: Asus M2N4-SLI

CPU: AM2 Athlon X2 64 4200+

RAM: 2x1GB A-Data

GPU: Asus 7950GT

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
[Windows 8 General] ErylFlynn:
Are you upgrading, or are you doing a clean install? (AKA delete partition, reformat. Then install)

If upgrading was the previous OS 32 or 64 bit?
[Windows 8 General] butch_bs:
Original OS: Windows Ultimate 64bit

first try to upgrade with "Assistant" (Windows 8 logo -> Reboot (before reach Setup))

after that try to make clear install but after try to boot from DVD -> Windows 8 logo -> Reboot (before reach Setup)
[Windows 8 General] Useless guy:
Why do you need x64? It's useful only if you have more than 3 GB of RAM or if you're using the application that uses lots of virtual memory (anyway swap is bottleneck, and you need more ram).
[Windows 8 General] ErylFlynn:
Not sure, have you tried a full wipe and install? Boot from disk and delete the partition and rebuild it. That is what I did, and I went from win7 pro 64 bit to Win 8 pro 64 bit no problems.
[Windows 8 General] butch_bs:
well... I just use "Upgrade Assistant" and don't know how to download specific version..., Assistant do it itself.

Tried with reinstall windows 7 64bit(that I have) and after that to upgrade to windows 8(that I download).

Tried to boot from Windows 8 DVD(That I downloaded) - When boot appears Windows 8 Logo and after a while PC reboots and nothing happens(cannot go to Windows 8 Setup)

Hi All, is there any way we can select multiple contacts while sending same SMS.

regards,
[Nokia Lumia 900] Rayan:
I encountered the same "no multiple contacts" dilemma while creating a Group inside People. It really is a PITA not having a way of selecting more than one contact at a time!

Major FAIL if you ask me...

Otherwise I've found WM7.5 pleasing to use... Lacking but pleasing... :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] otnos:
You can create a group with multiple contacts, and then in the group, there is an option to text to the whole group.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Rayan:
Unfortunately the grouping is limited only to 20 people. :(
[Nokia Lumia 900] otnos:
I have never had the need to group text more than 20 people, but I did notice that when you choose text to everyone in the group, the To field has a + and you can add more name through your contacts. Does that limit you? Because you are not bounded by the group limit being 20.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Rayan:
Yes thanks for the tip, however that does tend to be a PITA when you use the groups and contacts often. (like for like social networking or business purposes).

I wouldn't mind the 20 people limit if at least I could select contacts via check-marks or something like that, but the current method of selecting and going back to the application and then selecting another one is just lame!

Sorry for the rant!

Yet Another Auto Brightness (YAAB)

A small open source application designed to enhance user control over screen brightness. Initially it was developed to make the screen as dim as possible to save battery on old devices. AND to provide a simplest possible user interface without any complicated calibration procedures and so on.

It is Beta version now. It has ascetic interface and very simple in use.

Source code, issue tracker and latest APKs are available here: http://bitbucket.org/gyrussolutions/yaab/

Google Play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=biz.gyrus.yaab

Any feedback is highly appreciated, especially from other Android developers :)
[Android Apps and Games] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Tester initial impressions

A nice small download and a simple and clean interface. Started service and it immediately started dimming my brightness. A few points to begin with:

The manual slider does not seem to work as there was no change in the brightness.

It doesn't seem to alter the brightness in different lighting (unsure if it is supposed to do this or not from documentation).

It is making my screen too dim, I have a GT-I9300 and the auto brightness on it is excellent and always keeps my screen at the good readable and useable settings.

Will run for an hour or so now and update this with further thoughts then.

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

Ok it's keeping my screen to dim to be usable so have had to uninstall for now. A few further points though:

Application Force Closes when you stop the serverce.

The manual slider does not work.

Handset - GT-I9300

ROM - Paranoid Android 2.51

OK log wouldn't upload, here's a link for it on dropbox.

[Android Apps and Games] andrvo:
Good report, thanks a lot.

Looks like the app incorrectly reads light sensor data on your device and thus brings brightness to minimum.

I'm working on the issue now.
[Android Apps and Games] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Let me know when you have a new version and will test again for you.
[Android Apps and Games] andrvo:
Hi!

I did some research tonight and found out that many people have concerns about light sensor behaviour in your ROM.

I wrote a very simple app that shows sensor parameters on the screen and displays all subsequent updates received from the sensor.

APK is here: https://bitbucket.org/gyrussolutions/lightreader/downloads (sources are available there also)

It doesn't require changing settings and it will not attempt to change screen parameters also. Minimal discomfort :)

Could you please run it on your device and post here its output in a dark room and under strong light?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Details bellow, Sensor name - CM36651 Light sensor

Darkened Room:

Accuracy 3, MAX 121240, last 0.0

Bright light:

Accuracy 3, MAX 121240, last 3700.0 (fluctuating around this point)

I've not read much in relation to sensor issues on this ROM, will do some digging myself now. Hope this information is useful to you.

B

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

I have just done some digging and found no Liight sensor issues mention in the CM10 threads or known bug list. There was a light sensor issues back in September for Paranoid Android but this was fixed back then. Where have you seen the information about peoples concerns with the light sensor?

I have attached a link to the CM10 known issues bellow.

http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/CyanogenMod10:GT-I9300:Nightly:Known_issues
[Android Apps and Games] andrvo:
I saw several mentiones of light sensor problems here on the forum, like this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31801837&postcount=2862 or this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31801837&postcount=2862

Some other mentiones on other forums/blogs.

But anyway your readings are very good, so the sensor isn't a culprit any longer.

I just had to make sure that the app has valid input data and the problem is somewhere in the algorythms. Because in the log file you submitted yesterday contains very strange values.

Thanks again. I'm going on with my investigation.
[Android Apps and Games] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Yeah those were two months ago and the bug was fixed in a few days, there have been about 10 version updates since then as well.

Let me know when you're new version is available and will test again.

[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Maybe you should restrict app installation to devices that have a light sensor? Because Google Play allows me to install it even tho I don't have one.

HTC Wildfire S (Marvel)

Works as intended on HTC Wildfire S (Marvel) 510e.

Brightness is applied 1/2 secconds after screen is on and with correct levels acording to the external light and manual adjusment seting.

I like the simplicity (pls don't change that) and, so far, I didn't noticed any bad impact on battery life.

I'm curently on custom SENSE 2.1 rom but I switch often so will test this one on them too.

Tnx,
[Android Apps and Games] andrvo:
Will be done, thanks. I don't know how could I have missed that :(
[Android Apps and Games] andrvo:
Thanks for the update.

We are working on automatic/manual "night reading" mode and manual range adjustments now, but we intend to keep the main screen and the defaults in this way, so most of the users would not even need to open menus and dig deeper into the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] andrvo:
I've uploaded current version to the downloads section: https://bitbucket.org/gyrussolutions/yaab/downloads

Check this one please when you have time.

To be honest I still don't know why did it set brightness to minimum on your phone and didn't ever rise it again.

But your log revealed a number of thread synchronization issues that I fixed in this version. I believe there could be connection between these issues and your dark screen.

UI is a bit different, it is my current development version. But start/stop buttons still do the same.

Don't wait long, 10-15 seconds is enough, if it doesn't track ambient light changes right from the beginning - it will not start after some minutes.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] benkxda:
Hi andrvo,

Yaab works on my Nexus 7. It is also very easy to use. But I have two remarks.

First the app starts in portrait and I only use me tablet in horizontal view. The app not only starts in portrait, it does also not change to horizontal. This would be nice, if the app would start with mentioning the position.

The other point is, that it only needs one more option in my case. There is automatic and manual brightness. If I can use the manual slider in the automatic mode to set a basic brightness, this would be handy. Hope you know what I mean.

Thanks for your work. Would be nice to find Yaab on Google Play to get updates automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] rrbrambley:
Thanks, checking it out...
[Android Apps and Games] andrvo:
Yes, it is my fault. I didn't have enough time to test those layouts on tablets.

I plan creating layouts for tablets from scatch since existing were designed mostly for phones.

Well, it works almost as you describe. "Manual adjustment" actually set the base line for the automatic brightness formula.

I'm preparing new release right now, will be available today or tomorrow. New version also allows to limit top and bottom values of brightness, maybe it will fit your need :)

It is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=biz.gyrus.yaab ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jimmod:
Test it on Galaxy Note 2

Everything looks working. Closing the sensor with my hand causing the screen light dim.

Not sure what idea I can give though, probably you can check 'smart stay' feature at Samsung S3/Note 2. Although it's not a screen auto-brightness thing but it have same objective about saving battery from screen consumption.
[Android Apps and Games] benkxda:
That new release I get then via Play, thanks for that. Delighted me.
[Android Apps and Games] andrvo:
Ok, I'll check it, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] andrvo:
Version 1.6 is rolling out to the Play store.

What's new:

night mode, manual and automatic. The latter will work only on new devices with high quality sensors which are able to provide accurate values in the lower part of the range. Manual works on any device.

range controls added. Now it is possible to shrink the actual range of automatic brightness values.

bugfix (of course)

Beta testing is still going on, all testers are welcome.

Fresh APK is also available here: https://bitbucket.org/gyrussolutions/yaab/downloads

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Kumabjorn:
I'm trying to locate a wallet case for my Note that has a standard Samsung back case, not a full backside with a plastic cradle to hold the phone. Those cases makes it hard to get the stylus out. I have looked high I have looked low but I haven't looked right because I can't find anything like that.

Any and all tips are deeply appreciated.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] robj_b:
ebay is great for these, just search N7000 flip case!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Kumabjorn:
The ones I locate all have a simple cover, not pockets for bills and credit cards.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ExpatinTR:
I also looked for something like this, but found nothing. It's either a choice of a replacement back panel with plain flip cover, or a credit card wallet with a cradle.

The only alternative might be to adapt one with a replacement back panel, perhaps by fixing some credit card sleeves to inside of the cover. The hinge might not allow enough extra play for this though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] baz77:
you can actually ask your local shoe repairshop if he can make one from the one you have. I think he can. Its a question of adding leather on the front so it still fits, an opening for bills and a series of slots to hold cards.

Do note there are reports of cards pressing on screen that could damage/leave prints on screen and on screen protector.

my experience not in making but in use is that the original flap breaks after a while. Not sure, but whennit does, it looks like cupboard lmao
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Kumabjorn:
As I suspected then. Quite vexing. Seems like such a winning construction. Keep it thin enough for your pocket, yet add the function off s wallet. Outside cards and cash everything from my old wallet is now in my Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Kumabjorn:
Indeed an excellent idea. Now if I could only go back 30 years when we still had a cobbler in town:D

Kidding aside I shall see if it is feasible, bring the original backside and explain as good as I can.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanilla Pudding:
hello guys ,

I currently have a Galaxy Mini which is a good device , But its time to move on and get a new one .

what i am thinking about now are three devices : LG Nexus 4 or SG3 or Gnex .

I think that LG Nexus 4 is the best ( I love its look , its performance and of course its a nexus device :D )

but i have a few doubts :

1. Is LG fine ( i have never had an LG phone ) ?

2. Why is it so cheap compared to other devices ?

3. Will it have constant development like the Gnex ?

N.B : I don't care about it having no LTE or limited Storage .

I need some answers guys and if u have any other info u would like to share to just make sure that this is my next phone , Tell me .

BTW if u think other devices are better tell me and tell me why ?

Waiting for your info :D

Edit 1 : Guys you are only answering my second question what about the other two :D ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] respider:
1- awesome displays and devices in general are getting better nowadays

2- it's cheap because of google strategy... they're probably losing money for each device sold. Their intent is not make money over device selling, but to spread nexus and android word :laugh:

3- yes, nexus.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FISKER_Q:
The hardware quality isn't bad either, the biggest issue for a lot of the early adopters with LG Optimus 2X was how delayed software updates were, and how some relationships with partners royally screwed over the community in fixing the damn thing.

As for the price, they're not neccessarily selling it at a loss, phones like the iPhone 5 costs $208 to make for the 16GB version, that is including manufacturing, and excluding any special deal they may have with the chip vendors.

On the other hand it is also excluding R&D of the product, but i doubt, for the LG Nexus 4, that it has been that costly for Google, they basically took a finished phone, and then designed a new exterior for it, then told LG to make it.

So it is probably a war on the ecosystems as you suggest, but hopefully it will also mean that we'll see a few hundred dollars shaved off from the competitors devices in the future.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJHolderUK:
Silly question to post in the Nexus 4 forums. Going to get very bias results. ;)

Also, I doubt they lose money. They probably break even with the hope of gaining from Book, App, Game, Music, Film sales. etc.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tory13579:
I doubt they are losing money as well but they are probably not making money either. Any profits from the Nexus 4, 7, and 10 will go to the manufacturer of the device and google makes no money on Android itself.

Google really only makes money on a few things: Playstore (commission only probably), advertising, and cloud services.

On topic:

1. Is LG fine ( i have never had an LG phone ) ?

LG's biggest issues are software updates and since this is a Nexus you wont have to worry about that.

2. Why is it so cheap compared to other devices ?

Google wants to spread the Joy of android to the masses at little cost, so they sell the devices at the cost of manufacturing or lower (Nexus 7 8gb)

3. Will it have constant developing liek the Gnex ?

since it is a Nexus device, yes it will have constant developing. I think the first nexus dev section is still going pretty strong.
