Last time I tried to replace the ics market come with the xbsall's rom

I flashed the gapp for cm9 and the face unlock appeared.

I believe that's the cause

You need to hold the device at arm's length. Which is pretty far to me
[LG Optimus 3D] big_b0sss:
Can u provide the gaaps for me??
[LG Optimus 3D] xueJ:
Just Google gapps for cm

Download the cm9 one and flash it
[LG Optimus 3D] BG64:
I tried this, and you are right, face unlock did come up. However, the camera part doesn't even show up on my phone after pressing 'Set Up', so nothing is working. -.-
[LG Optimus 3D] big_b0sss:
MAy be any developer can make us a flash able zip from that gaaps. I had one but that doesn't work with the latest version.
[LG Optimus 3D] xueJ:
It works, IIRC the first time I tried to set it up its black. Maybe try some more times

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] srkrono:
Bo one can help or at least explain why this problem could possibly be happening
[Galaxy Note II General] dseo80:
I just found this out yesterday but the Note 2 has a separate controller for gathering sensor data.

In short, unlike previously where the CPU had to wake up to gather data, a dedicated low power processor takes care of this!

It works for the accelerometer, magnetosensor, and orientation sensors for sure.

It may also work for the other ones.

Source: Samsung SGS2 Note Development Engineer i talked to yesterday at Samsung's Tech Fair
[Galaxy Note II General] busab:
Interesting. I wonder if that's partly why it gets such fantastic battery life?
[Galaxy Note II General] Olaeli:
Instead of waking up the whole phone it uses a low-power unit for sensors?

It sounds plausible.

Like when you move your hand above the front sensors when the phone's locked, and half of the screen lights up for a few seconds.

Handwritten from my GT-N 7100
[Galaxy Note II General] emprize:
how about the wifi and bluetooth? if i turn on the wifi and bluetooth all the time, will i get less battery drain than other device?
[Galaxy Note II General] dseo80:
yes that is exactly one of the features it enables without destroying battery life
[Galaxy Note II General] Olaeli:
And I guess, the Smart Stay, which checks on you every now and then when looking at the screen. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] MarionCast:
Doesn't Smart Stay use the front-facing camera? I understand that the camera isn't a sensor, as opposed to the proximity and light sensors beside it (correct me if I'm wrong...)
[Galaxy Note II General] TMaLuST:
Smart Stay pushes the CPU freq to 1600 (aka max freq) every time it has to check.
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
I don't use smart stay.I prefer a longer battery life.
[Galaxy Note II General] emprize:
if u never idle til the timeout, smart stay wouldnt activate and no battery drain
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Once it activates, does it continue to check at the regular intervals you have set?
[Galaxy Note II General] emprize:
afaik it only check when u idle til timeout, so if u keep interact, it should be no extra battery drain
[Galaxy Note II General] Ayis28:
never knew this, great find
[Galaxy Note II General] zkyevolved:
It makes sense. That's how it keeps the accelerometer on to let you know when you a missed call or message. And also led notifications hehe. Makes sense to me! And I'm glad they did it this way. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Chrissssssss:
It also shows a little eye symbol in the status bar when it does it. Just before the screen dims it checks to see if someone it looking at it then again just before the screen turns off.
[Galaxy Note II General] busab:
I have smart stay turned on and i don't notice any real difference in battery life.
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Thanks to everyone for that!

Explained well! And I'll definitely use it from now on! It seems it might possibly use less battery to use this feature than having to tough the screen sometimes to stop it from turning off, and if you're not looking at it, it will just turn off like it normally would.

Basically, I have my timeout set to 1 minute.

Normally, I have to scroll up or down when I see the screen get dim moments before turning off. That's annoying, and sometimes probably spend more time touching the screen and messing something up when trying to do that.

With Smart Stay, if I'm looking at the screen, it checks for a split second (and you see the little "eye" symbol pop up) and it never dims out out either. That is really nice, and I don't have to keep messing with the screen to make sure it doesn't time out, which probably saves battery too. It continues to check for a split second every 1 minute.

If I'm not looking, it simply turns off.

Will definitely be using it from now on!

I also tried the feature where the red glowing sensor stays on ALL THE TIME WHEN THE SCREEN IS OFF and you can wave your hand over it to see missed calls, song playing, status bar, etc...

I'm gonna pass on this last feature. Not very helpful, and that must drain your battery somewhat faster, as you can even see the red glowing sensor on all the time when the screen is off. No thank you.
[Galaxy Note II General] boodies:
smart stay i suppose only uses the ffc when your phone is about to sleep. if you set it to 1 min, it'll check every min, 5 min, every 5 min. i don't think it'll use much battery.

the only problem i have with smart stay is that even when i lay it down on my talbe in front of me while browsing on my pc, it wouldnt' sleep. i need to place it away from my face so the ffc can't see my eyes.
[Galaxy Note II General] Sebring5:
For a few years now, there has been another core or companion core in smart phones that handles minimal situations. It is a low power core that does not require the resources of the main processing unit. Tegra calls it “4+1” technology which means there are 4 cores running at the same speed and a slower fifth core that can handle most of what you’d be doing on your device. Here is their comments:

http://blogs.nvidia.com/2012/02/technology-formerly-known-as-vsmp-gets-a-new-stage-name-4-plus-1-2/

VSMP has been around for years and Samsung has used it in their system architecture. Back when one of the big things was increasing processing power one of the big problems was dealing with the low power core.

It just doesn't make sense to use power when you don't need it. Its like the V8 engines which drop to 4 cylinders at the traffic light to reduce gas consumption.
[Galaxy Note II General] dseo80:
I think there is a difference here as the GS3 does NOT have this feature, you can test this by turning "smart rotation" off then testing the autorotation speed of both phones - which is how it was demonstrated to me. The Note 2 is noticably quicker.

I guess what im saying as in the OP , it is not part of the exynos SoC at all. The microprocessor is a seperate package on the PCB
[Galaxy Note II General] Plazmid:
Programming examples

Can someone point me in the right direction for programming with the 3 axis sensor and some techniques for overriding power-save when the screen is off? I'm working with a pedometer app that stops working on the GN2 when the screen is off. I'm trying to help the devs. Finally narrowed this down to an issue when the screen is off, so I'm thinking that the sensor may be going to sleep.

Thanks!

Looks like Dolphin gave up on flash
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ScientificOne:
Yup, if anyone wants to use flash with Dolphin, you'll have to find an older Dolphin HD app...but that typically crashes when you try to rotate the video...xscope works great with flash though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] BannaNN:
I dont find the need of using flash with dolphin. Its the only browser that lets me see most videos online, in websites like gorillavid, putlicker and other. Dont know if it is because of the html5 support but it sure gives a nice performance. I used to watch the wire in dolphin at night :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sashusmom:
For those of you who go to the trouble of installing an old version of Dolphin- beware. Mine use to update itself to the new version all by itself. Even with updates disabled!:eek:

I could see any flash streams BEFORE the update with the default browser, but after the update, it looks like the Stock browser does not work with Flash anymore.

I've been using Dolphin Beta with the flash player, cause I think the newest Beta has some form of the Jetpack.

just did some digging and the file you need to delete is mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml. or something similar to this if on dolphon beta...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mingkee:
It works with Firefox and Dolphin mini.

You need some hacking on Dolphin Browser to make it work (requires root)

Hey all, I have a quick question. Does anyone know what the specifics are on Verizon's warranty policy? When I got my iPhone 4S, I got the total equipment coverage plan for it, lasting up to February of next year. I unfortunately dropped my iPhone in water a couple of hours ago, and now it's pretty much screwed. (speakers & headphone jack broken, flash is always on) Does anyone know how long it'll take me to get a replacement phone, and how much it'll cost (if anything at all)? Also, less important question: Might I be able to trade my iPhone to get an Android phone of a comparable value? I'm tired of being stuck in this horror of iOS. Thanks in advance.

My note2 was serving me well until late yesterday afternoon. The exchange services is keeping the phone awake. I was on push all the while and it's working fine. Since last night, my phone is constantly awake and exchange services is the culprit.

If I remove the account or set to hourly poll, deep sleep remains. Coincidentally my company increased the mailbox quota yesterday from 200mb to 2gb yesterday. I am not sure if these are related but need some help if anybody knows how to resolve this issue.

[HTC EVO 3D] dfeldt91:
This is a guide that explains the steps to defeat Crickets data throttling and, in my case, give you faster internet(1.5 mb as compared to 300 kb tops). Many people will tell you that the throttle is carrier side however this is false and it is easy to test and see that for yourself. Simply download an internet speed testing app and run it. Watch as soon as it starts to check speed and you will see the speed skyrocket then back down to throttled speed after a second.

Anyhow.....on to the guide..

Requirements:

Rooted HTC Evo 3D

ES File Browser(this guide is made for this file browser but it will be similar in other browsers as well)

Simple right? OK, here's how to go about removing your data throttle:

1) Open your choice of file browser

2) Browse to the following location: /data/system/throttle

3) Delete all files in the throttle folder

4) Browse to the following location: /data/system

5) Long hold the throttle folder

6) Click Properties

7) Click Change

8) Select all the options available except for write(6 of the 9 options will be selected)

9) Click OK then exit the file browser app

10) Open an internet browser of your choice

11) You should get to the Cricket page telling you you are attempting to do an action not allowed on your account and you will have no internet access.

12) Reboot and you should have no throttle.

This throttle bypass will last until you reboot your phone and in my experience it has worked 100 percent of the time.

Feel free to check it out and let me know your mileage..

I'm not positive if it gives everyone an increase in speed. Its just my experience with it.. I've noticed when I get data drops that the throttle fix will be gone after turning data off then back on so I will have to redo the fix in order to get it working again.

I am not able to connect it for data transfer obviously. I try to hold it in every directiong but it has no effect. I assume my USB port is broken.

Wondering if the OP got his port swapped out. If so, did it help?

I have the same problem. Mine wouldn't even charge at first though. I re flowed the solder on the port connections. After that it will charge but not connect to PC.

I'm thinking there may be a bad connection inside the port itself.
