[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VistaOpfer:
Hi,

since some days I have a strange problem on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running Jelly Bean:

After I booted my device, I do some things like E-Mail and so and then (after 5 minutes) I just switch the display off.

But after some time, the display is switched on again (by itself, without me even touching the device) and off again.

This happens 5x during the first hour after booting.

I have watched this now for some days and detected a pattern:

Example:

Device booted exactly at 14:00 p.m.

After approx. 3 minutesafter booting: Display switched off manually.

1st Display-On: 14:12:24 till 14:15:32

2nd Display-On: 14:23:33 till 14:26:41

3rd Display-On: 14:34:43 till 14:37:51

4th Display-On: 14:45:52 till 14:49:00

5th Display-On: 14:57:01 till 14:59:06

What I noticed is:

1.) The first 4 Display-On-times always last exactly 3:08, but the last one only 2 minutes (as in the settings) plus the 5 seconds during which the display is dimmed befor switching off.

2.) During the first 4 times the clock stops running approx. 5x for approx. 5-6 seconds and then jumps to the exact time again. Looks as if there is a process or app runnning which is so CPU-intensive that the clock is stopped for some seconds. During the 5th Display-On, the clock keeps running okay.

3.) Time between every Display-Off and the next Display-On is exactly 8 minutes.

4.) After the 5th Display-On the "game" is over and display stays dark as it should (unless I switch it on by myself).

5.) The whole game starts over again exactly 12 hours after I first booted the device with the same routine of 5x Display-On etc.

Does anyone have a clue what could trigger this behaviour which is not only battery-draining but also annoying?

Or does somebody know an App with which I could trace down what causes it?

Just for clarification:

Neither Lookout, TrustGo, Bitdefender or Avira have detected a virus or malware on my device (quadruple-checked!).

Would be thankful for any help!

I'm building my own Nexus 10 FAQ as I learn. Believe me, SOMEONE out there will benefit from this. Please share with anyone you know that just got a Nexus 10 or is thinking about it.

Sometimes it's frustrating digging through 100+ forum posts - so I figure an FAQ format would be helpful.

Thanks for sharing, this is great. The developer option was driving me nuts.
[Nexus 10 General] PuroKaibil:
Great read.

I'm still waiting for google play to have more of the 32gb back on stock.

Thank you.
[Nexus 10 General] nytemare69:
Nice share.
[Nexus 10 General] Demon Lord:
After seeing this thread: I Am No Longer Disappointed With The Nexus 10, how about an entry about installing Flash on the device?
[Nexus 10 General] productofusa:
Pretty cool site, interesting and informative. Bookmarked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AbsoluteZero94:
Just a quick question that I havent come across in the forums. Im an organization freak and I just wanted to know how I can edit the titles of my songs to change them if they arent properly titled. I tried through a file explorer and even better, through root explorer but it hasnt worked. If someone can help it would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] OwenW71:
I share the same freakish obsession. My library has over 10,000 titles and all of them are perfectly organized and file named.

The answer is not Android. It is a PC application called MediaMonkey. It will auto-organize all of your music, tag it, rename files and convert them on the fly as it syncs with your mobile devices. There is no better solution at any price, and it is free. Even iTunes users switch after trying it, and they are usually too stubborn to admit that iAnything is not the best.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AbsoluteZero94:
Haha, yes I can only agree. But thanks this has been something that has been bothering me everytime I open up my music application. Its greatly appreciated. Ill be sure to check it out and report back :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
http://www.tuneupmedia.com/ tuneup try it out I bought this like 4 years ago
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
I, too, use media monkey. Rather than fixing each song manually, I auto tag from the web, to ensure I get cover art as well. Just stinks to get started, but now I ensure everything is in order as I ingest the songs into my library.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AbsoluteZero94:
Yeah, I tried tune up but media monkey is free so I cant argue with that. Im getting used to it as we speak.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] OwenW71:
For this phase of getting your files in order, look in the directory view and find a folder called Files To Edit (or something like that). It shows various folders of files that are missing important information.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AbsoluteZero94:
Okay, works great thanks for the help.

Btw, while we're on the topic is there any mp3 downloaders any of you would recommend? I use an app that doesnt really have many of the songs I look for.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] OwenW71:
Sorry, I'm no help with that. I always buy full CD's and rip them to FLAC. It may be old school, but I have never found an mp3 source that was anything but unsatisfactory. I do convert to mp3, but I use VBR and a high bitrate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AbsoluteZero94:
Ahhh, I understand. Well to be honest, l am about to do the same. Itll be much more convienent in many ways.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
Depends on the quality you want and how much of an audiophile you are. You could use tubemate to simply convert any video on youtube to a mp3. I have done that with some songs I just can't find elsewhere.

What kind of music are you looking for?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AbsoluteZero94:
Well I used to do the same with youtube except taking every single song individually grew to be a pain. Im just looking for anything that I feel like listening to at the moment. Im currentley in the process of downloading some of System of a Down's albums. Its usually whatever im in the mood for. But sometimes I use an app on the market and it downloads the song yet the artist and the album are incorrect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
Ah, gotcha, yep, that's the price you have to pay. I tend to make channels in Last.fm, and let it play music similar to bands I like. Found countless new (to me) bands that way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bengadget:
There's an Android app called MyTunes Lite that lets you edit ID tags on the phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] y2bangali:
Are there any stock roms or any roms that has the wifi hotspot/tether hack? Can anyone please let me know as that will be my main factor of purchasing this phone right now. I will appreciate it a lto. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaseBroyles:
There are none with native tethering unlocked, but there is a modified version of wi-fi tether that works fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] y2bangali:
thanks for the reply.. which one is it? is it built in to a specific rom or can i just flash any rom and install it? and do you know if it works as good as the native app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sosikfabrications:
Here is the modded one for our phones

[Nexus 4 General] taz2781:
I have buyed my nexus 4 today. and i noticed that it doesn't have any t-mobile logo on it... So i asked my brother to let me test its AT&T sim card on it... and it got reception and 4g conection. so it is open.... :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Of course.
[Nexus 4 General] sy224048:
Yeah this was common knowledge.
[Nexus 4 General] Stryder5:
This is good to know. I wasn't entirely sure it was GSM unlocked. Of course, it wouldn't have been an issue to unlock it though lol.
[Nexus 4 General] madquack:
Any preinstalled T-Mobile software?
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
T-Mobiles version is the SAME as the PLay Store version and this is a known and widely reported fact that's been said over and over in the media. Where do you guys live?? On a Amish Farm Reservation?? lol j/k bud
[Nexus 4 General] Stryder5:
Nope! Pure stock Android goodness :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] norazi:
the real question is if the T-Mobile sold ones are on a different IMEI block... ie do the Play Store sold ones have tzones/web2go capability
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
There is no T-Mobile Version. End of story.
[Nexus 4 General] onthecouchagain:
Question: What about the builds? I know the Galaxy Nexus had takju, and yakju, and all that sorta stuff.

Is the Tmobile build the same as the Play Store build? They'll be the first to get updates too when updates roll out? Sorry if this is a newbie questions.
[Nexus 4 General] xdiable:
Is the 16gb model $349 if you buy it from tmo with no contract?
[Nexus 4 General] madquack:
My neighbors are Amish.
[Nexus 4 General] bustabo:
No. 499? I believe....
[Nexus 4 General] noodles2224:
Classic plan is $199 + tax and shipping (if online) Value is $199 down, plus $20 a month for 24 months. Im in Cali, Im about to order mines through T-Mobile next week, I have a full upgrade line that will cost $278.41. I dont know why people are buying from Google. You can just call T-Mobile and make up a story that youre leaving the country for a few weeks and would like to unlock it for free. Plus, T-Mobile has the best service right now with their unlimited plan (non throttled) why not use an upgrade???
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
ur lost. its already unlocked out the box. and its only 254 and 50dlr mail in rebate.
[Nexus 4 General] abjexstallion:
I bought from tmo @$349 for an upgrade. It wasn't even my time to upgrade so.... Im really happy!!! Since in their web page said $499... Only bad thing was the upgrade. Plus insurance...
[Nexus 4 General] n82k:
They do not have the capability. Do the tmo ones?
[Nexus 4 General] strung:
The T-Mobile version comes with a T-Mobile SIM card in the box.
[Nexus 4 General] lamar411:
Dumb question, but does the T-Mobile version use a regular or micro sim?
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
Sam exact phone. Micro sim.
[Nexus 4 General] Stryder5:
I have the T-Mobile version. Everything is exactly the same as the play store version. It is pure stock Android and uses a MicroSIM.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
There is no T-Mobile variant. T-Mobile is just selling it in their stores/online just like in other countries.
[Nexus 4 General] Android1126:
According to this article.....

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/10/31/t-mobile-usa-nexus-4-v-google-play-nexus-4/

This guy says that the T-Mobile version can handle 42Mbps "4G" as opposed to only 21Mbps for the Google Play/International/European Model.

After reading through this thread, I would not be surprised if he is mistaken.
[Nexus 4 General] ashirviskas:
It is known as DC-HSDPA (Dual Channel - dual speed) facpalm....

(And I accidently thanked you LOL)
[Nexus 4 General] clockcycle:
The LG Google Nexus 4 is an unlocked GSM phone with hspa+ capable of 42 mbs. The Play store and T-Mobile US sell this same phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Screwhead24:
So how does IMEI blocking work on this phone since it's unlocked? I just bought my new Nexus 4 from Craigslist but am a little skeptical about someone reporting their phone stolen after they sell it just to claim insurance on it to get another phone. Heard many horror stories but don't want to get screwed. I already used IMEI checker and the phone is good to go but still am a little hesitant
[Nexus 4 General] trees247:
Yo noodles you came from the G2 right..I see we both made the upgrade best phone ever...I did a full upgrade for 231.00...I get it but dont understand why people thats on tmo wont just do a upgrade over playstore oh well got mine
[Nexus 4 General] movielover76:
Meant nothing

I had the Galaxy nexus and the different builds of the GSM device really meant nothing, except for the Austrailain version that was only quadband not pentaband. The only difference was some came with wallet installed and some didn't, but you could flash yakju on a takju phone or the opposite, it didn't matter.
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
True there were minor differences on some models. However, currently, there is only one model of the Nexus 4 and there is only one build (occam) type. So OTAs work for all Nexus 4s in the wild including T-mobile versions (the T-mobile N4 is the exact same model as the Play Store version). Of course this may change in the future if Google creates a new version of the N4.
[Nexus 4 General] kcchen:
Sorry to dredge up an old topic.

I'm considering purchasing the N4 from my local brick&mortar T-Mobile. They told me the device requires at least a $50 prepaid which I can stomach. But they also said this was carrier locked for at least 90 days continuous activation. Which means I would need the $50 plan for 3 months before they would unlock. Is this accurate? And hiw difficult would it to be to unlock the device on my own?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
The bootloader is locked by Google but besides that the phone is the play store version but with higher price. It sounds like they're lying in order to get more money from you.
[Nexus 4 General] Rivermind:
Play store version also comes with a locked bootloader.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
I know, I said it's locked by Google or lge. The point is they're all locked out of box.
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
Don't confuse the bootloader being locked versus the phone being carrier locked. No versions of the N4 are carrier locked despite what someone at T-mobile might say to the contrary.
[Nexus 4 General] ArclightX:
Hey Guys!!!

Long time lurker first time blah blah blah...

Just a quick question, I tried looking through this thread but my ADD kicked in which basically means I'm to lazy to read/comprehend human speak.

Question: Will this one-off T-Mobile version of the N4 work with T-Mobile?

I didn't see anything official stating that it would so I'm working on the logical assumption that it's a non-functioning device until some one tells me that it is, (and also tells me how to shake it when I go to the bathroom, still trying to figure that one out).

kthxbai fellas!

Toodles! :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
One off Nexus 4? Your question makes no sense. Can you simplify and reword it to make a tad more sense my brother?
[Nexus 4 General] jmcsk8:
It's the same damn phone whether you walk into a TMobile store or order from the Play Store.
[Nexus 4 General] ArclightX:
Having to manually point out my "dripping with sarcasm" comment diminishes us both...

Very Sad.... :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] kcchen:
Just wanted to follow-up. I visited a different T-Mobile store who said the phone was carrrier unlocked and required no contract. But the phone was $549.

So I decided to wait, which was a good thing since I ordered from the Play store last night. The site said 1-2 weeks for delivery, but the phone shipped this morning and should be here tomorrow according to the tracking info.

Anyway, excited to get the N4.

Thanks to all who provided the advice.
[Nexus 4 General] CmcNsm:
Has tmobile started sellin N4 in stores now? Do they have it on their website?
[Nexus 4 General] kcchen:
Yes, the stores have a few. I'd suggest calling in advance.

Not sure about the website... Play store shows 1-2 week shipping, but you may get a pleasant surprise. I placed an order last night, and should receive tomorrow.

Good luck.
[Nexus 4 General] yyz71:
Like he said Blah Blah Blah:good:
[Nexus 4 General] Rakeesh_j:
Doesn't really matter though, they deliberately make it easy to unlock by adding a mechanism for the sole purpose of doing so.
[Nexus 4 General] ashutoshchauhan211:
can nexus 4 t-mobile fone be used in india...???

as you said this is t-mobile version is unlocked one...???
[Nexus 4 General] kirdroid:
It's gsm unlocked and pentaband HSPA, so it will work with your gsm carriers in India. And there is no special TMobile version. All Nexus 4 are carrier unlocked(at least in USA) and they are same whether you buy from Google play store or thru T-Mobile.
[Nexus 4 General] ashutoshchauhan211:
thanx sir...

but in UK is it also the same story..???

all nexus 4 are carrier unlocked..???
[Nexus 4 General] kirdroid:
Don't know about UK.
[Nexus 4 General] Whosdaman:
The difference between the two is price and T-Mobile warranty
[Nexus 4 General] YakorL:
You mean T Mob got it own warranty ?
[Nexus 4 General] Whosdaman:
Yes, if you buy from T-Mobile they have a one year warranty on it too.
[Nexus 4 General] CB620:
The Nexus 4 sold by T-Mobile can be blocked. There are people selling them all over CL with bad imei that can't be used on T-Mobile anymore.

So be cautious people.
[Nexus 4 General] Whosdaman:
All reported-stolen devices' are now compiled into one list called the NCIC and blocked from usage throughout the USA on all carriers due to a new law that went into effect a few weeks ago
[Nexus 4 General] CB620:
I talked to one of the guys that has a ad on CL he got it with EIP.

Do you have a link to the article.
[Nexus 4 General] Whosdaman:
When I go into work tomorrow, I'll get all the info you could want about it lol
[Nexus 4 General] ismethajametovic:
bahahahahahaha!
[Nexus 4 General] sucro:
Is it possible to use the Nexus 4 purchased in USA, on european mobile networks, I think about sim unlock? Will be this Neuxus 4 purchased in USA sim unlocked for european mobile networks?

Anybody with some similary experience with Nexus 4?

Tnx!
[Nexus 4 General] shobuddy:
There's a guy selling a brand new TMob White N4 16GB for $200. He says the box is still sealed. Too good to be true?
[Nexus 4 General] jonapunk:
Just because the box is still sealed does not mean it's not stolen ask for a receipt if you buy. Even then he can report it stolen after you buy it
[Nexus 4 General] shobuddy:
Where has the price dropped? Are you referring to Tmo prices?

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Good call on the receipt. Just curious, why would someone sell you a phone and then report it stolen? What do they gain?
[Nexus 4 General] Hitorijanae:
They could get a new one by saying it's stolen and asking for a replacement. That way, they get a new nexus 4 and the profit of ripping you off.
[Nexus 4 General] divine1250:
Yes because even though they pay a deductable, its not as much as the cost of actually buying another phone. So by him selling you the phone for 200 and paying maybe 100 for the deductable after reporting it lost/stolen he profits 100 dollars while leaving you with a imei locked phone. Just speaking from experience.
[Nexus 4 General] michael98:
i am from egypt

i am asking if i bought it will run on our sim ! (network)

sorry for bad english :)
[Nexus 4 General] Warbuff:
English is fine. As long as the carrier supports the frequencies that the nexus 4 supports then the sim should be fine. The nexus 4 is already unlocked.
[Nexus 4 General] michael98:
thanks for you answer
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stile35:
Is it to much to ask somebody of you to modify native camera application (ICS, JB) in order to fix bug with recording stereo sound? The problem is that recorded stereo sound has swapped channels (left is right and right is left). Audio channels should be remapped.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
Just turn the phone around so the headphone socket is on the right side instead of the left when you record, all sorted.

John
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stile35:
I already tried but it is not sorted because video played on PC is turned for 180 degrees (upside down) and I have to use separate software to turn it back. Useless. Any other feedback?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stile35:
I cannot believe that noone is interested in solving/correcting this issue!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] transfer1992:
I also would love to hear somebody fixes it. It's enormously annoying. What's more, stereo audio recorder (RecForge Pro) also record with the same mapping (you have to keep your phone with home button on the left side), it doesn't record video, of course, but it shows that this mapping is global. So i think, a global modification for entire system would be cool for this, not just camera app mod.
