Click and hold the little microphone, then change to the little pen icon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinda628:
If you are using the samsung keyboard, i just press the button on the right of the "Sym" button, the one with "T" and it goes to the text writing using S-pen. Im not sure of any other ways. Maybe there is a way to make it default.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PoorCollegeGuy:
You can also go into samsung keyboard settings have change it so that it auto detects when the pen has been removed.

I've been enjoying s-pen for small stuff. like others have said, more accurate selections, web browsing tricks, etc

I saw someone mention using the back/menu buttons with s-pen (i have to use my fingers to tap those)...how does one use the home/back/menu buttons with s-pen? I have no idea :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] arschend:
Long-press on the microphone key at the bottom of the keyboard, then select the "T" (the one with the little pencil next to it)

To view various helps, tutorials and setting options for the keyboard and handwriting recognition, tap the Gear symbol that pops-up after long-pressing the microphone key (as above). Alternatively, go to Settings/Language and Input then tap the Gear symbol next to "Samsung keyboard".

Explore. Lots of things appear when you explore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] azafred:
While on the topic...

I wonder if I am the only one to have this happened to me, or if I am simply bone-headed, but all of a sudden the Samsung keyboard stopped working properly. It doesn't let me 'swype' anymore (the option is checked in the settings, but greyed out for some reason) and even though I have it setup so that it would go into handwriting recognition after pulling the pen out, it does not.

I noticed the change after "updating" the English dictionary in the 'input Languages' setting. Not sure wether or not it is related...

However, quite annoying...

Use the built-in gestures with the s-pen to do the back and menu. While pressing on the s-pen button, draw < to go back, or > for menu.

There is no gesture for home, but I ended up getting Taskarou (an launcher overlay), or you could use Button Savior to go back to home.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
To bring up the gestures menu you press and hold the s pen button off screen while keeping it pressed, swipe up with the pen touching the screen. A little box pops up and then you can draw the gestures there. This can be done regardless of what launcher you use and it doesn't matter what app you are using.

Cool thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] morphiend:
make sure you change the options to recognize complete strokes instead of partial strokes. that makes a world of difference. also go through the tutorial gesture in settings. some neat things you can do while holding the button

- forward slash (top to bottom stroke is what i do. it might work from bottom up but haven't tried) between 2 letters will create a space.

- horizontal line from right TO left through letters will erase those letters

- drawing a connector (like the bottom half of a circle) underneath two letters with a space between them will join them together.

does anyone know how to make it differentiate between letters and numbers? like if i want to do a lower case L it's just a straight horizontal line but the recognition sometimes makes it a number 1. that can get irritating.

Tutorials

There is an app in the Play store called "GALAXY Note II User's Digest" that has some tips and tricks and little videos/animations to demonstrate each. There are several S-Pen topics, including how to use S-Pen shortcuts for opening menus, going back, etc.

The app is actually made by Samsung Mobile. I don't know why it doesn't ship preinstalled since they preinstalled a lot of stuff that is much, much less useful.

:cool:

+1!

I have no idea why that is not the default - it is SOO much better.

Now if I could just draw things inline in Evernote I would be a happy camper. I agree the numbers-when-writing-letters is annoying. I do like how you can tap on a word even after it is recognized to fix it.

Also... I abhor cursive, but it is very very good at recognizing it - it does alleviate the letter-number issue... But then you have to write in cursive :)

[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
Daily Steals is a legitimate company. I am not saying that they should be charging $500 for this, but I am saying if you order from them you will get it. Be warned however, that it will take 2-4 weeks before you get what you ordered. They are the slowest shipping company I have ever bought from. So, with that being said, by the time you get your Nexus 4 from Daily Steals, it will more than likely be back in stock at the Play Store for $350 +tax and shipping and you will be kicking yourself.
[Nexus 4 General] ericshmerick:
How the HELL did they get stock??? That's pretty shady. The price, as compared to eBay, really isn't that much. Yes, I am aware of the MSRP, but after tax you are paying a ~$100 premium. Worth it for everyone? No. Some? Yep.

Don't expect a warranty if you by from dailysteals. I got my Galaxy Nexus from dailysteals before the play store started selling it directly. They advertised a one year warranty. Took forever to ship. When I cracked the screen Samsung refused to help me because it was the international version. Had it been the playstore version they would have replaced the screen for $200.
[Nexus 4 General] chug:
So when they say daily steal, they mean from you right?

They most likely don't have stock and will order the amount sold and then ship to you. They probably have a connect somewhere in the supply chain.

Software number: 2.32.651.2

- Rooted using z4root1.3.0

- BusyBox 1.20.2 installed

- Superuser 2.3.6.1 installed

I'm at a point where I tried to install "recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.img" using flash_image. Doing so generates the following:

# flash_image recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.img

flash_image recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.img

[1] + Stopped (signal) flash_image recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.img

[1] Illegal instruction flash_image recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.img

I'm assuming that this is due to the S-ON. I know that you might say that I should look at the Market and install the ROM Manager from there which would then allow me to flash ClockWork recovery mod, but the only ROM Manager that's available in the Market is the one that you have to pay for.

Anyway, this leads us to having to go to S-OFF through the unrevoked S-ON/S-OFF tool. The problem with that is that the current radio on the phone is not supported by the unrevoked tool... Finding an older radio version (2.42.01.04.27.zip) file, renaming it to HERCIMG.zip, placing it on the phone's sdcard (after formatting the card) and attempting to install the radio through HBOOT seems to fail miserably as HBOOT cycles through the HERCIMG.zip file and does not detect the radio.

Not sure what to do at this point. Any help would be appreciated...

1) Do I need to have the phone in S-OFF to install ClockWork Recovery Mod?

2) Why does HBOOT not detect a radio in the HERCIMG.zip file?

3) Why is flash_image recovery failing when trying to flash ClockWork Recovery Mod?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cytherian:
ROM Manager does not require S-OFF to be set, so this shouldn't be the cause of your problem. A simple search of the Internet will turn up many sites that offer older versions, like filecrop. If you're not completely stock and might have done some tweaks, you might want to consider running an RUU ROM.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firescreamer:
Correct, but, to the best of my knowledge, installing Clockwork mod does require S-OFF to be set...

If you're S-off and screw something up, you can boot below recovery and flash a hercimg.zip to get you back up and running.

You can flash roms s-on til your heart's content.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cytherian:
^ +1.

ROM Manager runs at a level above the bootloader. S-OFF is not required. You need S-OFF to do system changes deeper than a ROM change.

I was running with S-ON for quite a while, switching among a few ROM's. When I wanted to get deeper access to the system, S-OFF was required so I flashed an S-OFF enabled bootloader.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferns_mccanus:
I thought flashing ROM was the deepest. What is deeper than that that requires s-off?

And I think I read that without s-off, the changes won't stay after a reboot. Please correct me if I'm wrong. So if flash ROM with s-on, wouldn't that be very temporary?

Hi guys,

Hope someone can help me out on this.

I have unlook and s-off my htc evo 3d to upgrade the firmware (to 11.77.3504.00P_11.25.3504.06_M from official release 3.28.707).

Anyone had similar problems before?

Two things.

1. do ##DATA# and enter edit mode, enter MSL and select profile. Click menu/reset profile. Phone will reboot and do a handsfree activation. THat should solve it.

I was wondering if anybody could tell me if their Bluetooth in car setup displays the song info on their display in-car. If it does, what app are you using? I am using Doubletwist and it doesn't display the song info in my car. I'm pretty sure its not a limitation in the car, more an app issue.

So, I guess ultimately, a list of music player apps that send song info over Bluetooth in-car is what I am looking for.

I read a little further, and it seems what we need is AVRCP 1.3 support (1.0 doesn't cut it) in both phone and car.

Then I found this thread which concludes that AOSP JB doesn't have it, whereas CM ICS ROMs did. Later on, someone ported it to a JB (toro) ROM, and the code was merged into AOKP.

I have a problem too. I've never had this problem before, but my Gameboid battery save file is being stubborn and staying at 32K. I do the usual thing of saving in the game while the emulator settings are at Flash 128K, but the battery save file is at 32K which doesn't allow me to use it on VBA at all. I've tried using other save types on Gameboid such as SRAM and Automatic and all the other save type options it gives, but the battery save file is always stuck at 32K. Even still, I hoped and tried every single type of save file option on Gameboid with VBA. I tried importing the battery save on VBA with every single save type option that it gives. There was no way for me to open the 32K battery save file. So can someone help me figure out how to make a battery save that's 64K or 128K?? It would be greatly appreciated.

The game I'm trying to save at 64K or 128K is Megaman Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar. I don't use cheats or anything. I'm simply playing the game and hoping that there's a way to make it save in the game like any other normal game I've played. At least the ones that allowed me to make battery saves that is..

And yet another problem. My brother was playing sort of the same game, Megaman Battle Network 6: Cybeast Falzar. He was perfectly fine with being able to do in game saves, until he got to a certain part of the game where he couldn't do battery saves anymore. He reloaded from where he could still do the battery save, and it worked. He played for 2 minutes, and it didn't work anymore. I told him to reload and keep on saving every time he'd go through a door or go to another area. He did that for about a minute and it kept working. So is this the solution? Does he have to keep on saving a whole bunch whilst playing? Or is there a way to get the game to save normally like it used to? Help would be more appreciated than you know

Changelog

Planned features

(Removed from Play Store because Google said it was "dangerous")

Please do not mirror this apk, it is to be downloaded exclusively from XDA-Developers. Failure to comply will result in the removal of this app from XDA.

I've attached a zip with the files needed to root a Verizon Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535), extract it to /sdcard/RootTransmission/ to use.

Note that since I only have one USB host-capable device (my own S3), no warranty is provided over the functionality of this zip since I am unable to fully test it. (It is a repackaged version of the DebugFS one-click root found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1883984 and thus will only work if the device to be rooted is running ICS, which shouldn't be a problem as of yet.)

Again, this is an unstable test version. It should mostly work, but no guarantees on its functionality.​

what device is supported? what device supported that can be rooted?
[Android Apps and Games] wchill:
In order to run the app, your device (the device that is already rooted) must support USB hosting/USB OTG. Most newer devices have this.

This app uses adb and scripts (which you must provide) to root devices. If there is a root method for the device that uses adb, then it will work.

In the case of the Verizon Galaxy S3 (my primary device), the root method for a stock ROM is to use adb to push an exploit that will allow us to install Superuser and the su binary. I believe the Asus Transformer Prime uses a similar method.

If the only root method available involves using a program such as Odin/Heimdall or a manufacturer's phone flashing utility, or a zip must be flashed in recovery in order to gain root, it will definitely not work. In the case of the HTC Sensation, you must flash a recovery and boot into it, then flash a zip containing the su binary as well as a controller app such as Superuser in order to gain root. So the HTC Sensation could NOT be rooted with this.

In the future I plan on building a compatibility chart within the app to determine which phones can run this app and which phones can be rooted with it, as well as downloads for the rooting process. In the meantime, if there is a phone you are looking to root with this, let me know and if possible, I'll craft a zip to use with this.

Updated Root Transmission to 1.01unstable.

Following changes were made:

-bugfix: app occasionally FC'd when closing app

-bugfix: app crashed if scripts directory did not exist

-smaller size (166k, old version was 1.62mb)

-made it available only for 4.0 and up (had it set to 3.1 and up by accident)

Available in first post or in the Play Store.

Keep sending in those bug reports, it really helps!

Also, if you have any new features you want to suggest, let me know.

[Android Apps and Games] wchill:
I believe that in order for the app to work properly, adb must be running as root, so no. It's not possible to use this with a non rooted phone.

HTC One X should be able to be rooted (as well as other devices relying on fastboot), but I haven't added support for it yet. A fastboot binary for ARM is available, so I'll package that into the app for next release. Stay tuned. However, I don't know about unlocked bootloaders and all that on HTC devices, so beware.

I'm also going to take a look at the Heimdall source code later so that you can perform Odin flashes over USB. This means that basically any Samsung phone should be able to be rooted, even without a one click root script.

All this stuff will take time though, and with school still going on it might take some time. But I'm definitely working on it!
