[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamLechowicz:
Hi all, I was pondering to myself today whether or not the Glacier will get Android 4.2, so I then came to the XDA Forums to ask a question. Android 4.1 has been ported to the Glacier, so I think it's not so impossible to do the same with 4.2. (Ex: The PACman ROM for the myTouch includes ports from 4.2, such as the new Swype-like keyboard.) But I guess my real question is whether or not somebody has actual PLANS to do this. I am no novice when it comes to installing, messing with and deleting ROMs, and I know Java programming, but unfortunately the Public Education System prevents me from doing anything full time.

Cheers,

-Adam

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W99DEY:
Is there a work around for this?

Basically, most web site that you visit to activate drop down boxes, the mouse hover function does this, as I am using my finger, I cant hover a mouse.... so the box snaps open and shut too quickly.

This is a problem in IE10 and affects the surface too I believe. Unfortunately we are stuck with IE10 on the device.... In IE9, it used to bring up a text box....

I spend quite a lot of time surfing, whilst travelling to work.... If this cant be fixed, soon, my phone will have to go back, as I believe it is not fit for purpose.

Other phones and in fact I-devices work around this. I think arrogantly, Micosoft believe that web developers should change their devices....:laugh::laugh:
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link68759:
On WP7 it usually works if I press and hold on the drop down, which opens the "copy url" dialog, then I tap elsewhere to get that to go away. The dropdown usually activates at this point.

You have to admit it is pretty dumb to have a dropdown menu be a link in of itself. There are a number of things besides touch devices that can't work with this correctly, and frankly it's just annoying because if the drop down delay is too long, I click it thinking it's like every desktop menu ever, and it brings me where I don't want to go. I don't know who thought it would be good to defy conventional wisdom and change up the way things work on the web vs in software.
[General Questions and Answers] lisamariexxv:
First of all, thank you in advance to anyone who so much takes the time to read this:

I am attempting to rewrite the NAM settings on my Motorola Photon 4G 2.3.5 with a variety of tools and none seem to be able to communicate with my device.

I have tried while rooted and unrooted, in Motorola Phone Portal mode and in BP Tools mode. With HW Virtual Serial Port and without and it will not read. On CDMA Workshop I get an error: Failed... phone does not answer.

In QPST I get an error as well, no phone. I have tried every paid flashing program and still no program can read this Photon.

I used RSD to attempt to update the sbf however RSD will not read the IMEI or any other phone properties so I am afraid that if I proceed it will damage the phone.

I have tried every driver there is for this device as well. Uninstalled, reinstalled, everything. I have tried on XP, Vista 64, and 7 32

Is there anyone that may have an idea as to why this is happening? Again, thanks a million for any advice!
[General Questions and Answers] iAMsalm:
I am in the same boat as the OP and have yet to discover a solution. I've tried the same steps mentioned above as well as your basic "resets, battery removal, cables used, etc".

[Nexus 7 General] Shimakaze:
I've had my Nexus 7 plugged into the USB port on my laptop for the whole day, and I'm seeing the battery level dropping slowly throughout the day at the rate of one percent every few minutes. The battery indicator shows that it's charging. I've rebooted the OS a few times, and I don't run any apps after boot up. The tablet is warm to the touch, and Battery Disc shows 34 degrees celsius, which abnormal for the idle state (it's usually in the low 20's). Attached is a screenshot of all the running apps. I upgraded to 4.2 two days ago, and this just started happening today.

This shouldn't be a case of USB port not providing enough current, because the same port charged my N7 fine before.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 General] RipRapRob:
Do you have the same issue when using a real charger?
[Nexus 7 General] Shimakaze:
I'm not sure actually. I'll have to find out when I get home as that's where the charger is.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iOStoAndroid:
I have three Questions

1) Does the Note 10.1 have auto sleep function with a cover (like iPad/Nexus 10)

2) Some earlier reviews have mentioned lagging with ICS, does JB gets rid of (most) of it?

3) How likely is this going to get JB 4.2? (Really disappointed that Tab 7.7 is not getting JB)

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap27:
I don't think the Note has auto-sleep with a cover, but you can use an app like CaseSensor to do it. It basically uses the light sensor on the Note (no proximity sensor) to determine whether the screen is covered or not. It can lock/unlock the Note with the cover.

Lagging with ICS happens very occasionally. I've owned a Tab 7.7 and I can tell you its smoother than the 7.7 ICS. JB pretty much gets rid of all lag

Seems very likely to get 4.2, just as much as the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirvana388:
Apparently the note does have some sort of embedded proximity sensor, but it's not registered as a normal android proximity sensor, so apps like tasker cannot be programmed to use it. You can program something like tasker to do this with the light sensor, but it's also liable to shut off your screen in a dark room. This is what happened for me.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] paper_kiwi:
The Note II has been out for a little bit and I wanted to know if anyone has a Samsung flip cover and how well it works as a case? from the description I think it replaces the battery cover, does this make it any stronger? It's quite pricey so I'm not sure if its worth 30$...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dtugg:
No but I recently ordered a carbon fiber one from ebay for like $16. Haven't got it yet. Shipping from China so it might take a while.

And the point, I'm sure, of replacing the back cover is so wont add to the size of the phone.

By the way, I believe Samsung offering 50% off of mobile accessories on its website. So you could get the official Samsung one for $20. You'll have to enter a coupon code which should be easy to find with a little searching.

ETA: this is the carbon fiber case I ordered if anybody is interested:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SiR_BricKsAlot:
It doesn't protect the phone at all. The flap gets annoying and makes picture taking difficult. Not worth the money. It does look damn classy when it's sitting on my desk closed though.

Sent from that Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] americasteam:
I really like it. The back cover is thicker than the original, but offers no protection except when the flap is covering the screen. I thought it would get on my nerves but it hasn't at all. :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cronuslsd:
saves your original back cover.

nfc compatible.

screen scratch protection when closed.

annoying for pictures.

looks damn sexy.

thin which with this phone is important.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] theoner1:
Absolutely hate it. Have to hold with both hands to use the camera. Protection is a joke. Returned and got TPU instead. So far liking the tpu a lot better.

i just don't want to get stuck with a case that doesn't fit

as for flip cases, i think this is probably a knock off but looks from the pic it might be the real thing, will the only down side with these be losing NFC?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] finalhit:
I have it. It's aesthetically pleasing but incredibly impractical.you'll love it the first two days or so but then you'll get tired of the hassle.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] paper_kiwi:
I ended up ordering one of these http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/sam...dified-a2-tpu-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-ii It's cheaper and will protect more.

Although my phone is white so I might need a black skin in the back for the logo to stand out.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SiR_BricKsAlot:
I just got the black body glove case that T-Mobile sells. It's the only one they had at the store other than the flip cover. It's better than the flip cover, but i just dropped my phone and it landed face down and the corner of the case popped off. The screen didn't crack, but left a scuff on the edge. Also, the side buttons are a bit difficult to access with this case. I guess I'll keep looking...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
The flip covers looks good, but thats about the only positive I have for it. I purchased one when I bought my phone and here are the cons.

1: expensive

2: the most likely spot for your phone to make contact in a drop are the sides and corners which go unprotected with this case.

3: Flap ends up being more annoying than anything else

4: I have a white flip case, and it gets dirty easy which I would guess happens to all the lighter colors.

5: getting sand and other particles trapped between the screen and the flip cover can cause scratches.

I purchased a few cases, from sprint, amazon, Verizon etc and my go to case so far has been the body glove from sprint. It's pretty, and has a perfect fit. That plus a SGP screen protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] K.0.0.L.:
does it come with NFC?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LordLugard:
NFC is built into the battery. Are you asking if the case comes with NFC? Of course not.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Chan_B:
Pretty sure Samsung flip cover comes with nfc...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Kawaisa:
Nfc chip is in the back cover not the battery
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
100% incorrect. The NFC antenna is built into the battery cover. Cheapo knockoff flip covers have this important piece missing from their battery covers, but the Sammy OEM cover has it installed. The only time I hate my sammy flip cover is when taking pictures, as the flip sort of gets in the way. Other than that, I love the flip, just feel better about it in my pocket, and I don't get oil from holding the phone to my cheek anymore. Going to try out the Incipio LGND case to see if I like it more with the added protection.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] papabear:
You can also modify a case to fit over the flip cover to keep more protected
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dproldan:
For me, the flip cover actually allows me to take pictures with one hand only. I can get a good grip with it, see attached picture.

I found it also works great when using GPS navigation in the car, I insert the flip cover into the CD slot, at an angle, and it hangs perfectly, with the display facing the driver.

Today, I watched a movie in the plane, with the flip cover inserted into the magazines pouch of the seat in front of me, the display stayed in a perfect position.

I have installed a program called "auto screen on" from the play store, when I open the flip cover, the phone turns on in less than a second, no battery diference, it works extremely well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] adelmundo:
I have the flip cover on my Galaxy Note 1. I'm planning to get it for my Note 2. The one thing I like about it is that it looks pretty damn nice. I have the brown flip cover on my white Note 1, and it looks pretty classy looking. I get compliments on the looks since it it really matches well with the white and chrome trim of the Note. On the Note 1, the brown flip case has a textured back, which is easier to grip than the glossy slippery back of the white battery cover. Also, the metal ring that goes around the camera lens is recessed more with the flip case, so the metal ring and lens don't get damaged. I want to get the Brown flip case on my Note 2, but this time, I might also try finding a case that will go over the flip cover to protect the sides and corners, since the flip case won't really protect against drops.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fmpmuld:
Pro : smart look / you can use the phone with flip cover ( hole on speaker place ) / NFC

Cons : everything else. Do not expect any protection but the screen which is useless.....

Here is the Stock UCLJ3 Firmware for ICS

It is:

Rooted

Deodexed

Zipaligned

Batch Optimized

NOT debloated

Two versions available

Pure stock Here: UCLJ3-Stock-ATT

Stock with data/app and aosp ics lockscreen enabled Here: UCLJ3-Stock-ATT-Aosp_Lock

This rom will wipe all data on flash but i suggest a full wipe anyway.

DEVS and MODDERS:

If you wish to use the aosp lock in your roms, just remove the android.policy.jar from the second version and replace in your rom..

Enjoy!

Odd. I wiped data/cache/dalvik and installed, but it seems like the tw lockscreen and the aosp lockscreen are running in tandem. I can use the aosp ring, OR just swipe the screen like normal. Anyone else run into this/ is this as intended?

Also, I've tried it with the aosp lockscreen option in the settings both ticked and unticked.

Only the top third of the screen seems to be active as the tw lockscreen. In and around the clock.

Hey Dman, Thanks for providing these for all of us!

Got a quick question. If I add some apk's to the /system and /data, that are from the market, do I need to have them de-odexed?

if so is there a good method to do that to individual apk's?

Thanks again.

P.S. sorry for the noob like question, I'm still a "redneck in training" with developing!! :D
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dman3285:
Any apps from the market need to be placed in data/app and they should already be deodexed. If they're in data/app they can update thru the market.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:

Hi,

Being a noob at flashing could you list basic install instructions for the Pure Stock version?

I assume looking at the contents of the .zip its meant to be installed from CWMR?

I'm using an unlocked Rogers version i927R with stock Gingerbread.

I already have CWMR installed.

Thanks.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:
your right! flash in cwm recovery. wipe data cache and format /system before flashing gets you a clean install!! :D
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
Yes, thats what I ended up doing, thanks.

It all seems good except I'm not getting a GPS lock, which was working fine under Rogers GB ROM.

I've found lots of threads on possible solutions, even for other Android devices in general, but not sure which to try.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:
try downloading the app "GPS Status" from the market and see if it is finding anything. it may take a while tho. one thing to keep in mind with this app, as I found... each time the screen turns off, it resets the app! also I have read in other threads about having to set you regional location.

thanks.

P.S. try testing IcePop rom out if you like a simple themed stock rom! let me know what you think! it really looks cool with the "Call of Android" animation and the mod I combined that's in the 4way rotation! I soon will be releasing a update.. eta possibly by next week! :D

Just a note, when I flashed the Pure Stock UCLJ3 over the previous Rogers GB 2.3.6, then booted up, the phone had re-locked and was requesting the Network Unlock Key.

Luckily I already had the Unlock Key, because a few months after buying the device, it turned off after running out of battery, and on the next boot it was requesting the code.

The place I bought it from provided the key.

Entering the same Key on ICS worked of course.
