I having problems mounting my DNA to my mac. USB Debugging is enabled but I'm unable to write to the phone from my Mac. I've tried HTC Sync and Doubletwist. The DNA doesn't show up on finder, just as a CDrom with the drivers for Windows. I have tried using Windows which worked fine. Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Droid DNA] 17akota:
Try this?

I don;t have a Mac but I heard of this program before.

Yup, that's what I've been using for all my Android phones, and it works.^^
[Galaxy Note II General] 白い熊:
I wanna use the Zen Brush app to draw calligraphy and am experiencing problems with line thickness. However it's not an app problem as I've experimented with other apps and they elicit the same behavior.

Basically, though I set the line thickness to very thick in the app, if I use the stylus to draw, the drawn line is very thin. If I put the stylus back in the phone and just draw the line with a finger it's super thick.

What is causing this? How can I fix this? I really want to draw finely with the stylus...

[Galaxy Note II General] luismedina:
S-Pen supports up to 1024 pressure points, that said, when you use the pen to sketch or draw, you will be able to draw thin or thick lines, that depends of the pressure you apply with the pen, that not happens when you use the finger, because Wacom digitizer only recognizes the pen as pressure sentive. So, that's not an issue.
[Galaxy Note II General] 白い熊:
You are right, it didn't occur to me to rely on pressure sensitivity in calligraphy, but it does work. Apply more pressure and the brush line gets thicker...

So that's the expected behavior, though it makes for an uncomfortable calligraphy experience, as actually light strokes of the brush are needed, yet these should be fat.

Is there a way to get rid of that grey Google search bar on top of all the screens? The drag an delete function doesn't seem to work.

Thanks!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biohazard0289:
I don't think there is any way to get rid of it on the Stock ROM. From what I understand its basically built onto the launcher. If it really bothers you, you could consider switching to an alternate launcher like Apex or Nova to get rid of it.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ualdriver:
Didn't think of that. Maybe I'll give one of those a whirl.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twiggi:
This worked for me:

Settings>Apps>All>Google Search>select "Disable", then click "OK" on the "...other apps may misbehave" pop-up. You may have to reboot to get rid of the bar.

This will disable the search function on your tablet; there will be no way to search for contacts, apps or anything. If there is a problem you can always repeat the process and enable Google search again.

I personally didn't care for the search bar and I don't use the search function. I have only had my N10 since this morning, but removing the search bar was one of the first things I did and I have yet to have a problem.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ualdriver:
Thanks. After the reboot it disappeared.

I first had an incredible, now a rezound, and want to move on to the DNA. I was wondering how the battery life is treating those who have it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

[HTC Droid DNA] germanmafia88:
I've had the phone for 2 days now. I consider myself a moderate user - especially during work. Today I had bluetooth and location services off, streamed for a bit, surfed the internet, and did a heavy dose of texting and downloading apps all through 4G (no wifi @ work). The battery lasted me roughly 14 hour due to the usage of it only in spurts. For reference I got into work at 8 and left at 5:30 with 45% battery life left. I then used it only a little the rest of the evening.

However, yesterday was Thanksgiving so I was on it most of the day, and it needed to be juiced up around 9 hours with all the bells and whistles on (phone wasn't on auto bright, etc).

If you are a light - moderate user and do a little application maintenance I can see this phone easily lasting 16-20 hours. When the phone is off it SIPS the battery.

If you lean towards the heavy side then it will need a charge closer to 7-8 hours. I come from a Thunderbolt for reference and this obliterates it. To sum it all up, the battery is better than I thought it would be. The key is to kill services you don't use. We will have to see how it fares when I am in NYC for work with no access to a charger. I'm sure if I use it sporadically I could be fine for an entire day.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Droid DNA] Izzmit:
I hope these screenshots help!

~5 hours on airplane mode.

~6hrs on LTE

Rest is wifi.

Not a super heavy user, but so far i am impressed.

Under 30%, the battery drops so fast! Dont count on 30% to give you anything useful...An afternoon of light texting will probably kill it.

My battery only charges to 99% -- has anyone else seen this? Will my phone keep trying to charge it, and therefore wear out the battery?

Will a QI pad just constantly charge, instead of stopping once its 100%?
[HTC Droid DNA] WilliamStern:
Battery life has been nothing short of amazing!
[HTC Droid DNA] 996:
thank you all for the responses! I am hesitating on purchasing this phone due to the battery. I feel like it should have been a 3000mAH. I am a heavy user. On 4G a lot. so yeah
[HTC Droid DNA] pitbulledEvo:
Battery is a lot better than I thought it would be. Really impressed with this device!
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
Guys you need to be honest with yourselves here, anyone can do everything possible to get the most out of their battery (heck I got 3 days out of a Droid 1 before), but in real world use you'll be lucky to make it through the day if you use your phone a lot. If you're a light/moderate user you will be fine from morning until night, but if you tend to use your phone for hours expect to charge it during the day.
[HTC Droid DNA] dr.devman:
that seems better than the s3

Yeah I'm with most of the guys here - battery life has been great. It beats the brakes out of my GNEX. This is a very efficient phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] boushidosan:
I am getting this phone and an Anker Astro charger, according to these posts I'm more than likely not going to need that charger, lol

9 hours is sick coming from my Droid 1
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
I am being very honest with myself. So far, I am getting more battery life than a Galaxy Nexus with extended battery. I hit an easy 3.5 hour screen time yesterday.

Playing games.

Watching netflix

Streaming Pandora to BT for 2 hours.

Streaming Google Play music for 2 hours (headphones)

Playing with settings

Making calls

Texting

MMS

Browsing Internet

Youtube

Half of my time was on LTE and the rest on WiFi. I took it off the charger at 7:30am and it got down to 12% before I put it on the charger at 10:30PM.

My Gnex with the same use would have been completely dead by 3:00pm and only if completely on WiFi.

My usage hasn't become less since I used DNA...if anything it increased due to me setting it up and playing with it. So I really, really doubt I am kidding myself.
[HTC Droid DNA] madzozs:
I came from the GNex as well. First day I had this device I had to go and work my 16 hour shift(3pm-7am). I always had my GNex plugged in by 7pm after my normal use of browsing, texting, games and such. I made it until around 10pm before I plugged it in, and that was just because it was at 40% and I wanted to top it off before my 2nd shift. Went back to 100% and used it until about 430am when I stopped playing around and read a book on my Kindle. Used my phone as an alarm for every 30 minutes and I didn't plug it back in until I got into my car for the drive home. I've never been happier with a stock device.
[HTC Droid DNA] chrisjm00:
I just got this phone. I have a GS3 as a reference for battery life. If I can get three hours of screen time out of it, I will be a very happy camper. I guess it just goes to show you that when everything is working together in harmony and everything is power efficient, the size of the battery isn't nearly as important. Look at the iPhone, no matter how much you want to hate on it, they have been stick sub 1500 mah batteries in there forever, and they seem to last all day for the most part. I would have preferred to have a larger battery, but after reading the reviews this morning on it I was convinced to go out and pick one up. The screen is awesome, I'm really surprised that it doesn't drain more battery than it does.
[HTC Droid DNA] TrueMetalGeek:
I just made it to lunchtime without it going dead.

Dropped to 40% with some download ads, a few YouTube videos l, some Facebook and some music via blue tooth.

I had to plug it in a few hrs later when it dropped to 20%.

About as good as my Rezound with a 2800 mAh battery.

Pretty much nothing will last me all day with the data I use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mistertim:
HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED:

Finished a NANDroid of my current rom, CM10. Phone backed up successfully, and brought me to CWM recovery page. I selected restart, and the phone turned off. Phone is hard bricked and in a dead boot, it acts the same with a battery and plugged into the wall as it does without a battery.

**THERE IS NO WAY I CAN ENTER RECOVERY**

WHAT IT DOES WHEN PLUGGED INTO COMPUTER:

On my main box (Linux Mint 14), it mounts/unmounts within 2-3 seconds, and eventually freezes my shell. On my XP virtualbox, it tells me the SD card needs to be formatted, but that it cannot format it. It pops that message box once again every 2-3 seconds.

WHAT I HAVE DONE:

Remove battery, replace, held power+vol buttons

Charged overnight

OMAPFlash (too confusing)

Heimdall OneClick.jar (downloaded every driver it offers, still says it needs to be mounted)

ODIN

None of the stuff I have tried has successfully worked, as I still cannot access recovery. If I could force the phone into recovery then I can restore the NANDroid. I haven't tried a USB JIG, but I've spent countless hours probing the internet for help and a lot of people have said that a USB JIG won't work if you can't even access download mode.

ANY INPUT? I'd appreciate any and all help. I've maxed out my insurance claims with ATT for the year :\

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
I'm confused at how simply making a backup would hard brick your phone? There should be zero possibly of that. You didn't do anything else? Format a partition, flash a ROM, anything?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] The_Blue_Waffle:
You did something you may not know you did it but you had to otherwise its just hardware failure
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Very odd. If you didn't accidentally wipe something or flash something it sounds like a hardware failure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mistertim:
i just don't understand how, without me even touch the phone (i left it on the desk next to my laptop while backing up, I do daily nandroid backups and delete the oldest) the hardware suddenly craps. there are no scorch marks or deformities where the battery contacts are, and when I dismantled the case and removed the motherboard there were no signs of overheating. no cracks in the board, no deformities on the leads or chips or anything. I highly doubt it's hardware related. as I said if i plug it into the computer it recognizes a SD card, albeit now 20 different volumes, the highest being 2GB, most of the range from 24-600MB. I just need to get it into download mode and restore a nandroid. can someone tell me the proper sequence? ive tried like 6 different versions, ranging from holding buttons with no battery and plugged into computer, to holding vol dwn & power before putting battery in and then keep holding the buttons while inserting battery........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mistertim:
welp if I can't get it into d/l mode i'll shoot him an email. thanks for the link
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] The_Blue_Waffle:

theres a step by step guide in my sig for restoring to stock on how to get into dl mode, dl mode is not the same as recovery mode, you cannot restore a backup in dl mode, its only for flsashing stock firmware or flashing cwm/twrp. here's a copy of the steps, do it exactly how it is written. but read the whole sticky for restoring to stock and for troubleshooting steps

8.

How To Put your device into Download Mode:

DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON FOR THIS PROCEDURE. - download mode is NOT the same as recovery mode

a. Connect the USB cable to your PC, but

NOT

to your phone.

b. Remove the battery.

c. Reinsert the battery.

d. Press and keep down both Volume Up and Volume Down keys then insert the USB cable into your phone. (On Rogers phones It's just Vol Down.) The phone will turn itself on when usb cable is inserted. DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME BUTTONS UNTIL INSTRUCTED

e. When You see the screen warning you about installing a rom w/a yellow triangle RELEASE the volume key(s)

f. Now press and release the volume "up" key, you should now be at the Download Mode screen w/odin recognising your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mistertim:
That didn't work at all. it won't get into recovery or download mode. I don't think I was making myself clear enough. The only time it does anything that shows any sort of life is when I plug it into my computer, the computer recognizes the internal SD card as 20 seperate volumes, for about 1 second. it then tells me that I have to format my drive, but it wont because it's corrupted.

i appreciate your guy's help, i'm probably just going to hawk one of my tablets and a couple guns at a pawn shop to buy a new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:

Hi guys,

I have a problem with Amazon Kindle app as it cannot find mobi files on the microSD card. After installation, Amazon Kindle app set up a folder on the Note II's internal space /mnt/sdcard/kindle and it can find the mobi files I put in /mnt/sdcard/kindle. The microSD card is listed as /mnt/extSdCard, and Amazon Kindle app cannot find mobi files I put in /mnt/extSdCard//kindle.

It's happened a few times now where I've tried to take a picture and it just won't take. I keep clicking the shutter button but nothing will happen. It's really inconvenient so I'm wondering if it's just me.

A few more bugs I've noticed is sometimes when the face detection circle goes over someone's face when I scroll into the gallery the circle is still such there. Sometimes when I exit out of the gallery a bunch of images from the gallery flash real quick before it goes back to the home screen. And when going into the camera if I swipe to see a picture and click 'set as' the contact photo / wallpaper option doesn't show up. I can still click the buy the options are invisible.

Just wanted to know if it's just me or if this is happening to other people too.
