[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abalakersky:
I was wondering if anyone is aware of an app, tasker config, or NFC setup that would let me control redirection of "Media Audio" portion of the bluetooth connection?

I have a headset and a car unit. Both accept Phone Audio and Media Audio connections from the phone. When I am out and about I like both to be connected to the headset, but when I am in the car I would like "Media Audio" connected to the car stereo and Phone Audio to the headset. I can do so manually, going into bluetooth preferences and connecting specific entry to specific device, but I was hopping for one click app, or tasker config, or NFC setup that could switch from one to another.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I own Sony Ericsson Xperia Live with Walkman WT19i that comes with shipped Gingerbread 2.3.4 build no: 4.0.2.A.0.62 and I want to upgrade it so Ice Cream Sandwitch which if offered via Sony PC Companion as an upgrade.

Did anyone do this upgrade and what are the benefits from it?

Does this ICS upgrade has any bugs and degrade perfomance of the phone, who is working pretty good with Gingerbread?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Mate, it trickle charges through the USB... Usb doesn't provide the same charge as the wall charger. Yes there's a that little red x over the charge icon BUT it is charging. Depending on whether you are using more current in the activity that you are doing depends on whether the tab charges or discharges the battery.... Leave it over night and it will be 100% charged the next morning... I tend to charge my tab this way when I'm transfering large files from/to the sd card, plug in before going to bed and its charged come morning...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorCon:
Make sure you have the USB divers installed, you are using the original USB cable and that you are not using the tablet while trying to charge (leave plugged in over night). Should charge fine even with red x.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] se1988:
Turn the 10.1 completly off, then charge in USB. It will charge way faster than if it is on.

Wall charger provides 2000 mA, USB provides up to 500 mA.

It is a given that wall charger charges 4 times faster.

The reason why the cross is over the battery when charging from USB is because you are using more amps than the USB can charge as long as the screen stays on and the tablet is in use.

Sorry I'm fairly new to this and just wanted to get a simple explanation. I'm extremely happy with the stock rom on my S3, however I'd like to have root to remove some of the bloatware.

I have around 60 apps installed and pretty much setup my phone entirely so I'm not looking to flash a 3rd party firmware at this time. I see several options in the root section of this amazing Samsung GS3 Qcom tool program but just unsure if it will flash my rom and i will need to reinstall everything?

Can I just flash insecure boot image, root, install busybox then flash back to stock boot image? will i lose everything?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintaldo:
after rooting my S3, the camera seems to crash ALOT and i particularly bought the S3 for its amazing camera.

it bugs the hell out of me.

im using AOKP build 5. and still the camera has been crashing alot unexpectedly and wont be fixed until i reboot the device.

i like my S3 rooted and customized to my preference.

is there a way to fix the camera crashing issue? another custom ROM? or an individual main and basic system camera app that doesnt crash?

or the only way is to UNROOT my device, which would be my very last solution.

what should i do?

please advice
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oomahey:
If you bought the S3 for its amazing camera, why are you on AOKP? Every AOSP-based ROM has a not-so-amazing camera, when compared to the stock camera, of course, and AOKP is no exception.

Please change the title of the thread. It's misleading. Camera does not crash on rooting the phone. Incorrectly flashing a ROM with a not-so-amazing camera does.

If it's the camera you want, go back to stock and enjoy! :)

It doesn't worry me - if people don't want ads there were already methods to remove them. And from my own experience as an AdBlock user on desktop people like that don't click on ads anyway.

The more problematic thing is - if AdBlock can setup a proxy without root then malware can too - and use it for phishing or spying for example.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] briarwood:
I'm sorry if this was posted elsewhere, I searched but couldn't find this question answered.

Last week I sent my girlfriend into a T-Mobile store here in RI to check out the Note 2. I was at work so I wanted her impression. She fell in love with it and now wants one. She's not a phone geek and always said she would prefer a flip phone if she could text on it,so I didn't think she would think too highly of it. I really wanted her input on how big it was

I figured I'd buy it for her for Christmas. T-Mobile store wants over $700 and the best International Note 2 price I've seen is $600 on special at Newegg.

I'd prefer the T-Mobile version for the future LTE but the extra $150 is a lot.

Any ideas on how to buy a T-Mobile version without paying over $700?

Also, are the benefits of the T-Mobile version worth the added cost?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moltenbobcat:
Depending on where you live tmobile more then likely tmobile has not finished refarming 1900mhz in your area in that case the International note will only be able to get on edge before tmobile finishes their modernization. This is of course assuming you want to use it for on tmobile or an mvno.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatsitsnamenow:
T-Mobile note 2 have the correct frequencies to operate in Tmobile's hspa+. International note 2 you will most likely be stuck with 2g speeds.

If you plan to use Tmobile's data plan buy the Tmobile version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] briarwood:
We have the T-Mobile data plan.

I was hoping to spend $600 or so, that's not remotely possible paying retail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatsitsnamenow:
I've seen some international note 2 for around $550 on eBay storefront for dailysteals.com.

However saving $150 would be pointless for me as I value data speed the most. I use upwards of 50 gbs monthly.

If you don't care as much about data speeds and streaming the savings may be worthwhile to you.

(Sadly) it´s still poweramp for me. "Sadly" just because I don´t like the interface very much. Has anybody seen the "Walkman" app around here? The one that comes with the AC!D package? THAT is a nice looking piece of musicsoftware (at least for me!) ;) But it doesn´t matter as it is not near the sond quality of powerAmp AND (much more important) WALKMAN has no option for genre-sorting!!!

I always feel to try Songbird again, as it really looks nice and sleak...but I always find myself deinstalling it again because it´s still just too laggy.

So soundwise it´s still PowerAmp. When it comes to simplicity and look --> Walkman app!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockky:
yes I agree w/Power Amps interface. Incredibly counterintuitive.

But it speaks to the sound of the app cause I'm more than willing to put up with it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooon:
Exactly, and furthermore pretty much unpractical for one handed usage. I don´t know why there are still no themes out there for poweramp...I think when the developer would open up the skinning possibility to the users, there would be a hell more to squeeze out of that app^^

I'm a Power Amp user. Agreed on the interface, its nice enough looking but a bit counter intuitive.

Now this N7player - very good except for one thing. It doesn't do gapless playback (like the default player and many android players seemingly, unforgivable in 2012), until it does, it's a deal breaker :( Unless I've missed something?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EasySeaBreezy:
Gold Standard

Its difficult to argue that PowerAMP is not the best and baddest sound on the market. With 3 years running, no one has really held a candle to PowerAMP.

However, I really value the sound quality of Rocket Music Player Premium. It has a great looking interface and sounds as good as PowerAMP IMO.

Bells and whistles are always nice and PowerAMP has plenty of them but I really value the supported audio formats.

RMP Premium also supports media formats outside of the Android supported formats.

PowerAMP is definitely still the "Gold Standard" but there are many players that are comparable. At the end of the day you have to go with works best for your setup - for me it is RMP Premium.

Take it easy.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooon:
What I really miss on

MOST

of the players is a good and customizable tree structure (accessibility) of my music. I always start my "music-adventure" with the genre tree - and the following should just work like I am used to it from my PC (on every software I´ve ever used):

It´s that easy!

But what is it that I have to find on MOST players?

Now imagine the chaos that I always feel confronted with when some (a lot) of my beloved artists produced a LOT of albums (scrolling ´till tomorrow). I just can´t understand that this is not a standard anymore (at least an OPTION so that people who don´t care are allowed to customize it).

PlayerPro is in someway better than poweramp, as it allows you to customize the tree a bit more. However, the interface looks kind of ugly to me.

So for me as a music-loving guy it is still a very sad situation on the android market.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ars_92:
Just discovered ttpod. Seriously nice UI with lyrics and for some reason actually sounds better than power amp for me, but in don't do any customization of the equalizer settings in both. But yeah the theme and the awesome sound out if the box, and the fact that it is FREE just makes it flawless.

You guys should try it out. It's available in English too, if you guys are wondering.

Anyone know how to bypass the EQ in PowerAmp and use the hardware DAC?

I'm currently using the trial version but can't seem to find the option.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooon:

I use Perseus kernel, which has ScoobyDoo sound (bascially VooDoo sound but for Note 2) and can be configured using the STweaks app, which has many audio settings to get the best out of the Wolfson DAC, and I heard PowerAmp can output direct to it and bypass the software EQ.

Maybe it is just as simple as turning off the EQ and I'm just over complicating it and expecting there to be a specific option :)

Just trying to decide weather I want to paid for the full app.

I've tried the full versions of a lot of music players (it's cost me a small fortune!) and the only ones I keep coming back to are PowerAmp, N7 Player and, most recently, Zplayer.

Zplayer is my current favourite because the sound is gorgeous (on a par with PowerAmp, IMHO) and a beautiful Windows 8-style interface.

I love the sound quality on Neutron, but the library on it lags atrociously on my Note 2. :(
