toolkits are fine, if you know what youre doing. the problems come when beginners use them. when they run into problems with their devices(sometimes from the actual toolkit too), they have no idea how to fix the issues. usually the issues are very easy to fix, if you have some basic knowledge about the processes involved. but the toolkits circumnavigate learning the basic processes. ive seen beginners mess up/brick their devices trying to solve issues, then creating larger issues. and this happens very often. you can search here how many thread have been started by beginners who have "bricked" their devices. their posts almost always includes.. "i used XXXX toolkit". you wont see any threads about "bricked" devices that used fastboot or adb to gain root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maliceomalice:
Yeah, plus, if you really wanted to use toolkits, have the courtesy to really understand instructions...

Holser recommendation

Seeing as I've read the OtterBox clip breaks easily, I decided to purchase this:

AMAZON: (Do a search for it)

Canvas Vertical Heavy Duty Case with Metal Clip and Velcro Closure Big Enough to Fit the Otterbox Defender Case for Samsung Galaxy Nexus i515. Comes with Antenna booster.

It's cheap and it fits the GNex (even with the OtterBox case!). This plus a case make for a good combo. I personally have the Incipio SA-204 case. Not too thick, and plenty of protection. Though make sure you get a screen protector as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Thanks for the reply. Id like one that doesn't require a case though. One that I can put my phone into completely and protect it. A holster type

[Galaxy Note II General] Chrissssssss:
Yes I know there have been other posts about this but this one is a little different, or at least not one that I have seen before.

I've taken a long exposure shot of my Note II in the dark with my DSLR to show the spots on the screen when it is black. I've only noticed them with my eyes when actually trying to look for them by turning all the lights off and waiting til my eyes adjust to seeing nothing so they don't bother me at all but thought it was interesting anyway.
[Galaxy Note II General] mrufokid:
My galaxy s2 had that ... but my notes screen is perfect ... Blahhhhhhhhhh that sucks man it's just luck of the draw
[Galaxy Note II General] Chrissssssss:
Like I say I never notice it when actually using the phone so really not bothered by it. I prefer what I have with the really dark blacks to the LCD on my last phone which was nowhere near black.
[Galaxy Note II General] Lucidmike:
My S2 had that problem. I haven't noticed anything like that for my Note 2 under any lighting conditions. I've been looking by forcing gray backgrounds and using stuff like screen filter to reduce dimness. Still looks good!
[Galaxy Note II General] ishaan_chd88:
Mine Note 2 has a big spot on the upper right hand side of the screen

I assume its completely normal as there are a lot of people who faced this Black spot thingy, I bought my Note 2 three days ago and yesterday I noticed a big black spot on screen, but its only visible in a completely dark environment with pitch black picture on my phone.. It doesn't affect my experience with note 2 in any way, but still we want 100% perfect screen when we pay such a huge amount. Btw I bought it from local store at Chandigarh,India and the box says made in Vietnam.

PS:- As AMOLED screens are really thin, May be some glue accumulated on the back of the screen is the reason for these spots. And it is completely normal as If it were a defect it wouldn't be on almost every screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] D4rkShadow:
i also had black dots on screen and bubbles under the glass.service center replaced the display and now the black dots relocated to different locations but bubbles are gone.

i bought from kolkata. i would suggest not to take your phone to service center as they added 15-20 scratches to back cover , 4-5 dents to metal lining on side and 3-4 scratches to new display.Samsung service center in india doesn't know how to handle cellphones.They did this to multiple people.
[Galaxy Note II General] sz1a:
This is an extreme case of OCD. All amoled screens have this issue. The fact that you need to try so hard to find it is why it is consisted acceptable for what you otherwise get with an amoled screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] avetny:
you just in too dark room watching too dark screen;)
[Galaxy Note II General] ishaan_chd88:
Yeah, Samsung India is not up to the mark in providing customer satisfaction and as you mentioned that how they handled your device, is the reason why am just dealing with this spot issue. its still better to have those spots then these scratches and dents.

Samsung should replace the handset itself if its not more then one month old, not just the display.
[Galaxy Note II General] arvin2212:
Had a long vertical 'Black Line" after the 'Samsung' Logo and it went from one end to the other end. It was noticeable during the startup screen of Grand Theft Auto III and on certain colors, eg: Grey. Several other black dots were around the screen as well.

Sold it off and bought another Note2. So far it's perfect :)
[Galaxy Note II General] AznDud333:
miura, this is one of the flaws with amoled, try getting it exchanged

also, you seem to have the vertical line issue too
[Galaxy Note II General] senechaux06:
dark spots

I had this same issue and im thinking that it might be a component that touches the screen below.
[Galaxy Note II General] winlinmac001:
Let me ask you all a simple question, Where are your Note 2's Made? You find this information by removing the battery cover and checking on the white sticker behind your phone. Let me know, as this can suggest something.
[Galaxy Note II General] ishaan_chd88:
We don't know actually what it really is, but it is considered as normal in AMOLED manufacturing criteria.

Its annoying when you see it, but it doesn't affect screen or device in any way, So, am living with it. As its only visible in dark room with pitch black or some grey shade screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] winlinmac001:
^^^^ where is your note made in?
[Galaxy Note II General] ishaan_chd88:
After removing the back cover and battery, Made by Samsung , nothing else. But on the actual Box it was printed "made In Taiwan".
[Galaxy Note II General] winlinmac001:
Made in Taiwan? :confused: First time reading this...
[Galaxy Note II General] ishaan_chd88:
Oh! sorry not Taiwan, its Made in Vietnam... lol I was out of mind :D

Qualcomm is the way to go, but depends on device manufacturer.

Tegra is ignored by Nvidia too (even Nexus7 don't change this that much) as Exynos is by Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
Not this again.
[Galaxy S II General] themadba:
What exactly does that mean?

Agreed, saw on XDA's portal that Sony even released source code for an alpha build. Shame Samsung isn't like that, probably means they lose me as a customer for poor customer support.
[Galaxy S II General] mckeowngoo:
Exactly what it says on the tin?

Either keep your S2, sell it or buy/upgrade to a new phone. Any of these options are good.
[Galaxy S II General] d1rX:
That's pathetic of SAMSUNG to say the least (words can't describe it). Devs giving in so much heart and time and all they get is a big FU. Read it all, it's worth it.

You can always wait a few weeks after xperia z release and see how the response is like here in xda. If cm gives it a thumbs up then you could buy it. I honestly think its very attractive because of its brilliant features.

They are the first smartphone company in the world, they don't care about the small % of users rooting and aosping their smartphone.

F**k you Samsung to have made us believe you were a dev friendly company.., never be Samsung customer again. They are making not so great phone after all, great specs, poor software, poor build quality...
[Galaxy S II General] AayushDhuria:
I was soooooo sure about buying a phone for the first time, then second thoughts, fk it, I can't risk it man, the worst part is, This Google I/O, there will be no Nexus but Moto X, waiting on S2 is painful, Smooth ROMs (Samsung based suck) and I'm a big fan of Paranoid Android.

Nexus 4 is bleh, the problem you faced, audio issue, I'm an audiophile n listen to music on phone like 3-4 hours per day.

---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ----------

Good hardware? Only processor buddy. I'm a former HTC user. well phone's Wifi connected faster, vibration chip was smooth not like S2's, build was better and screen maybe TFT but didn't have issues, I got a visible tint on S2's screen. I just switched for Development.
[Galaxy S II General] durangatang:
Thanks for the read! All I want is a nexus device with removable battery and sd slot haha is that too much to ask for.
[Galaxy S II General] fatjivi:
Yeah I can understand. Waiting for the perfect phone is tough. I so wish Google had made the phone a bit expensive but ensured quality. The audio static issue is so widespread that I didn't dare to get RMA. Even some people with RMA said they ended up the same problem again :p. Its very sad Google wasn't able to ensure quality and supply even with top notch software and hardware. I heard the new batches coming out won't have this problem. But by the time they come out 1080p screens will be in the market :p. It will be kinda stupid to buy N4 then. Lmao the situation here is so confusing. I personally will wait for xperia z, wait for the reviews by users and cm devs. If people say the build quality is excellent with no hardware issues and cm devs give it a thumbs up for excellent cm compatibility, then I'll buy it. Learnt from N4 that its best to wait for some reviews before jumping on a phone :p
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
N4 is FAIL in my opinion. Right from design materials (Cracked Glass back issue even present on Optimus G),Omission of OTG support ,lack of 32GB storage option, Product launch and availability , Google deciding to choose LG to manufacture it ...etc..etc

It sounds nice on paper but for 350$ price you have to live with flaws. NO phone is perfect but apart from s/w updates , I dont see anything good in LG N4 .
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
Not all N4 have flaws. I ordered mine on 1st Dec and got it on 31st. I have none of the issues mentioned.

I am fine with no OTG and 16gb. Had 6 gb free on my S2 anyways and never used OTG. If you use those features then it's not for you.

Some of the earlier ones with hw rev10 had issues. The batches shipped later with rev 11 have all issues sorted out. There can be a few with issues still but that happens with every phone.

[Galaxy S II General] themadba:
If my contract was up I would have definitely got an N4 the value for money is amazing. However, I'm not due an upgrade till August and by then there will probably be a new Nexus phone/S4 (difficult choices as I wonder whether the exynos5 support will be just as bad as the exynos4).
[Galaxy S II General] dzel:
have to agree here.. using the n4 for 2 weeks now..

no otg,only 16gb and non removable battery...that vol & power button is scary...the back glass too...i dont like front speaker design. the way they placed it attracts dust..

people say the screen is amazing, real life colors bla bla....

no thanks i enjoy my s2 screen more...

i do believe Samsung will let the full sources out soon..
[Galaxy S II General] dud3me:
Well you're an optimist :D N4 is a great device for the price, and I would have definitely bought one if play store was available in my country. Here it's 600€ so not really worth it.
[Galaxy S II General] AayushDhuria:
I kinda feel skeptical about buying a non nexus device atm, how ever great it maybe. Google should go for Sony with next Nexus.
[Galaxy S II General] themadba:
I feel Google should team up with Asus for the next Nexus phone, especially after the success of the Nexus 7. I don't know what it is about LG, but I feel they are no longer the forerunners in the technological industry. Sony/Google would be a good team due to Sony's prompt source code releasing, but sure it runs the latest Android OS with no release delay ever going to occur.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
I have the same feeling. May be not now but definitely down the line once everyone has switched to a different phone (in may be 2/3yrs).
[Galaxy S II General] clonednull:
and this will help whom? no one..

and i'm sure it will be non consistent, buggy and a headache for every other dev...

i think samsung has really a problem concerning programming and good software development.

when you look into their sources you will find old gingerbread code in the ics version where all others got rid of the old burdens... :silly:

they are wonderfull copiers but innovation comes mostly from other sources...

i think if they would'nt be in south korea, where corruption is an every day agenda, they would'nt even got this far as a company.

for me it seems sometimes that when hey make a new hardware, their dev team scamps something that "mostly" works and then goes on with the next product letting the other gather dust... :mad:

you dont make money with a product you allready sold to someone, you make money with a new product you sell someone.

they are not interested in long-term support of a product, they support what they lawfully must do (even this in a miserable and sometimes questionable form).

if they dont change their attitude on the long run they will loose their customers.

personally i think they should go back where they have been good at.

hidden as hardware in other companys products :victory:
[Galaxy S II General] d1rX:
Yep. That's how business works today -- we demand more, we consume more. It's our own fault. We want the greatest and latest and companies give it to us. They don't care for supporting "older" devices. Releasing a new one is simpler, people will buy it anyway. All they care for is money, market position and good PR. That applies to any business these days. Sad
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaskur:
Hey everyone, noob here but ill keep it short and sweet.

I have a Nexus S (CDMA/4G/Sprint whatever you wanna call it) and I'm going to go get it hooked up this weekend. My question is that if I were to flash a custom ROM with clockmodrecov. would there be any chance that it would remove the CMDA carrier data and possibly lose my service? My carrier still charges activation fees so I'm looking to see if anyone here can help me before I go off and find out on my own.

I'll remember to say 'thanks' , just some input if any would be nice.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szaky:
Hello. I am new here so I will ask maybe a noob question. I bought a Galaxy S3 and then I downloaded the official Jelly Bean from samfirmwares for my country (Slovakia). I rooted it but it seemed a little laggy sometimes so I searched for it and I found out that almost everyone's S3 after update is lagging but if you do firmware initialization and upgrade trough Kies it will fix it. So i connected to Kies but it says that my device is unsupported. It might be because I was rooted so I did a factory reset and flashed again the official version from samfirmwares but Kies still says that my device is unsupported. When I go to download mode it says that it is samsung official but current version is custom although I didn't root. Any tips how can I get my device to work with Kies? Thanks for any tips
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
If you rooted your device before, it'll remember that in Odin mode.

Buy the mobile Odin app from Chainfire (requires root), use that to reset the counter. Then Kies should be able to update your firmware :)

Hope I could help!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckyplanet:
About a month to a month and a half ago, I developed this problem on my Email(not Gmail) app set up for my Exchange account: mail would occasionally not be pushed automatically and I would have to open the email app to fetch all the emails. There is no pattern that I am able to figure out when this automatic push does not work. Sometimes mail gets pushed and everything works great but at other times i would have gotten 6-7 emails and none would have gotten pushed. Rebooting the phone temporarily fixes this. First I thought this was a server side problem so I downloaded Touchdown(trial version) and had it run on the same account alongside. Touchdown is able to show all emails as they are pushed whereas sometimes the native email app fails to do so. Gmail is also able to push emails to my Gmail app at all times without any problems. Touchdown interface is ok but I actually like the stock email interface a whole lot better. Anything I can do to fix this?

Currently running android 4.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
This behaviour is new for JB. The stock email app requires sync to be on to actually poll, or even push like it should. Having never been a "syncer", I was fearful of awful battery at first, but this isn't the case. With two email accts on push, and the Gmail app syncing, it doesn't drain battery like you'd think. Just uncheck the elements for each account that you don't want synced.

There are quite a few reports of this on Google Code; the recommendation is to enable sync 9 times out of 10, assuming all the server settings are correct, etc... I turn off sync from 22:00 to 06:00, but other than that, it's on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckyplanet:
Thanks but battery life has been surprisingly very good on my GNexus and all accounts are set to push at all times. How do I enable sync just 9 out of 10 times. Can you give me a link to this on Google code? Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
I was saying that the answer 9/10 times is enabling sync.

Settings > Data Usage > menu button > Auto-sync data.

Don't have the links handy any longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckyplanet:
Thanks. I checked and it looks like autosync has been enabled on my phone. Hoping there is something else I can do to have my exchange emails pushed.... Wonder what they changed in JB that did this. Is there a way to delete the email.apk for JB and install the email.apk from ICS?
