[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhyog:
Hi,

I have several services running in the background that dont need to run all the time. Like, i only want Titanium Media Sync to sync my folders at night. Same for Picfolio that will upload my images to my Picasa account.

Ive looked ALL over the place and i couldnt find one single solution.

Surely there must be some terminal command that can do this?

Like, In Windows i can schedule batch files to stop/start services by using

Net Start [service]

etc..

So, what about Android? :confused:

I know its possible to do it manually by going to the app-info screen.. but thats not what im looking for. I want to schedule it
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taffypride:
I mostly use my Nexus 7 at work to VNC into the Cinema Projectors to do all my film programming and scheduling....

It's a damn sight easier than using a clunky old computer as it means I can actually be down on in the foyer of the Cinema working rather than hidden up in the Projection room.

It's been all well and good until we had a new piece of kit installed called RosettaBridge Theatre Management System (or TMS for short).

With the new system, in order to work remotely, I need to able to use Java which I do know that Android doesn't play nicely with.

Now, for me, this leaves only one option... I have installed the Multiboot from the Original Development forum, and am dualbooting between Paranoid Android 2.99 Beta 3 and Ubuntu 12.10. Ubuntu can play nicely with Java, however has anyone actually attempted to install Java onto Ubuntu on the Nexus? Or am I just barking up the wrong tree.....?

I noticed that wheb I connect USB on the go adapter, battery drains at extreme speed. Also I get notification that the phone is charging(wtf?).

Is there any fix for this, preferably without unlocking bootloader?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdm212:
ok so heres my question. i currently have tmobile and have found a note (tmobile version) 2 on craigslist for sale. hes selling it at an insane price! however, im concerned about getting burned. whats to say he sells the phone to me and then tells tmobile its lost or stolen? will the phone not work for me? maybe im to cautious but even at a great deal im still spending around $500. however if it were an unlocked phone from another carrier it would be ok?

ive been hearing horror stories about this so im just looking to cover my bases. its still a lot of cash.

thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] awrnsmn:
I would be EXTREMELY careful buying off CL expecially at low prices. I've been hearing and reading about people getting screwed. One guy had his phone for 3 months before it got locked down. Just have to use your best judgement.

Good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdm212:
ya im thinking i will not be doing ebay or craigslist. so it sounds like im stuck with amazon, tmobile, and overstock. any other sites?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdm212:
also i think i have decided to go ahead and either buy the sony lt28h or the nexus 4. now to make my decision...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] TakeNote:
I owned the Nexus 4 and returned it for the N2. Screen was kind of washed out, battery life was not great. The glass back always worried me. Non replaceable battery as over time batteries go bad. Very fast, smooth, 4.2 is nice. No Facebook sync. Photosphere is neat but a huge battery killer. Great price from play store. But, thats if you can get one.

N2 is ... worth every penny.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
The easiest way to take care of this is to simply meet him at the T-Mobile store to verify the transaction. Tis what we did for our second note we found on CL. Working like a champ!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdm212:
i did ask him for the imei. he did send it to me and even told me that he would give me the receipt. however, i have been told that even though its clean now it doesnt stop him from making a call as soon as i walk out the door.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Red-Dog:
Get it in writing. Make a "bill of sale" with the IMEI and signatures, yours, the sellers, and possibly if you go to a T-Mobile store ask if one of the workers can sign it also and get a pic or video holding the "bill of sale"? I know it might seem kinda weird but, you can never be too careful, these phones are pretty new and pretty expensive still, that is a lot of money to risk...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Vanquiz:
Are you by any chance on TMo classic plan? I have 3 lines on my plan and the closest one eligible for an upgrade is still 11 months away. I sold my S3 and ready and willing to add some money to buy Note 2 full price, either from TMo or ebay. But i took a chance and call TMo for an early upgrade, and they give it to me for the same price as upgrade. Of course with my luck, the day after I ordered, Cyber monday deal cut the price significantly, and they wont adjust the price for me :( but still i got it cheaper than my S3 sold price :victory:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] awrnsmn:
That will do no good if he calls it in as stolen or had the value plan and quits paying on it. If he paid full price for the phone, that's the only somewhat safest way it would not get locked (unless called in as stolen)

I just don't want to see someone else get scammed. May be legit but you can never be 100% sure off CL unfortunately.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdiddy_ub:
it wil make a difference in terms of getting your money back...if he does call it in as stolen you have proof of sale so its obviously NOT stolen...and if he stops making payments you can get a refund..you would have to hand over your phone but at least you get your money back

i would just make sure that the document you create states that he phone is either completely paid for or that it states that the seller will continue to make payments until it is paid off in full

someone else posted the same question and i also gave him the same advice...as an experienced phone seller/buyer of ebay and CL i would say that the extra $50-100 that you save isnt worth the headache and paranoia that comes with the savings

if you are going to the tmobile store you could probably even ask the clerk to give you the info on how the phone was purchased and if it was paid off...maybe even ask him how long the account has been active and if the guy has a good track record (the seller will be standing there so its not like you are asking for confidential info without his knowledge)

in my opinion...the only way i would buy a phone that is cheaper than the average asking price is if the seller really did convince me that it was legit (has a legit reason for selling the phone where the price that he sells it for isnt his main focus - ie. he received it as a gift and making $500 on a quick sale is enough for him he doesnt care to squeeze the extra $50 and/or if the seller had a receipt for the phone)..if i have an uneasy feeling i would just pass.always go with your gut
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspataro:
If I were you, I would go to TMO and see what they can do for you about getting the phone directly from them. I was in the same situation as you were about a week ago....wanting the Note II so badly, but had already used my upgrade a couple of months ago for the HTC One S. I basically walked into my closest TMO store and asked the rep what they could do to get me the Note without having to pay full price.

In the end, they were able to get it for me for $200...after rebate, but I had to pay $150 migration fee (Originally $300). I then sold my HTC One S on eBay for $300. So how you look at it, I only paid $50 for the Note II! :)

Trust me, go into TMO and talk to them....that is one thing I like about them over the other carriers is their customer service is better, not awesome, but better than ATT & Verizon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
Usually if you haveto ask this question its a bad idea.

its just the cheapskate in you trying to justify the purchase

here are your options

1) buy the craigslist note 2, worry about everything under the sun (is it stolen, does it WORK, are they gonna shut it down etc.) and take a chance of getting ripped one way or the other

2) dont be a cheapskate, save another 189$ dont have to worry about anything, ANYTHING!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdm212:
i appreciate ALL of the feedback! at the end of the day the phone would have costed $450 plus 3.5 hours of driving round trip and probably $30 in gas. so for a total of $480 i just think ill save the few extra bucks and buy it from the store. i really do appreciate it.

just need to decide on a phone. n4, n2, s3, or the sony lt28h.

gotta admit $450 is a hell of a deal though lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdiddy_ub:
NOTE 2 for sure...you're in the note 2 forum so that will be the dominant answer.

but seriously the note 2 has been the best phone i have ever owned or used...and i am a phone fanatic...once you use it for a week you can't go back to smaller ones...whenever i see other phones now they look like toys...i remember a few weeks ago (before i bought the note 2 and had my nexus) i thought my sisters S3 was huge...now when i hold that phone in my hands it looks really small and dull

i definitely wouldnt put the s3 in this class of phones (unless its the international one)...i would only go with the n4 is your MAIN focus is on development and/or this phone is too large for your liking

I flashed CM10 with TWRP a few weeks ago and my phone has since developed issues connecting to both mobile networks (3G/LTE) and wifi. Sometimes it wont connect to 3/4G at all and often when I get home it takes absolutely forever to connect to my home wifi. I have baseband 1.12.11.0809. I'm going to wipe and reflash tonight, but any ideas what the problem is?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The latest JB leak has been out for a little over a day. I'm beginning to get tired of the requests for mods, themes and other items that take a good deal of time to get together when we barely have a rooted rom at this point. So, to answer your question, no you will not see this in the near future. For anyone else asking for mods to JB, stop asking please. We have a great deal of work to do and there is not a single custom rom out for JB yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Can you theme the latest leak to look like blur :p lmao jk had to do it :cool:

Oh yeah and OP theme Chooser only works on aosp based roms such as CM, AoKP, PA, etc. It WILL NOT work on roms with custom frameworks like touchwiz, sense, blur etc. A quick Google search could have told you that:rolleyes:

I was wondering, is rubberized, titanium, or plastic better for the fishbone case?

I was wondering if you guys have any experience with the rubberized/titanium one as all the threads only talk about the one with the hard plastic.

Also, does the hard plastic on the back of the original fishbone scratch easily? Was thinking of either getting black or white version.

http://www.amazon.com/Rubberized-Protector-Faceplate-T989-II/dp/B006D8V0DO/ref=sr_1_7?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1354235799&sr=1-7&keywords=fishbone+t989

This is the site for the rubberized one.

Any opinions on fishbone cases in general would be greatly appreciated too!

Thanks! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] akelty:
I have this case and personally I'm not a big fan. The rubber portion of the case doesn't fit tight on the phone and can move around. I like TPU cases because they're typically pretty slim/light, cheap, fit snug, and they provide good protection against drops. I've used this one on several phones and haven't been disappointed. You can get them for ~$3 on ebay.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrosetto:
I've use the rubberized one for awhile now. After pulling it out of my pocket enough time the case became loose and doesn't work well anymore. I just ordered a fishbone case in hopes that the metal will hold the rubber together better. I'll let you know how it works when I get it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gamzerz:
Was thinking about getting this earlier but then i felt someone else's and didn't like how it felt. Now I'm thinking of getting the diztronic case or maybe a ballistic case. Leaning towards the diztronic though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrosetto:
Well I got my fishbone case. Come to find out the fishbone is plastic. Other than that I am much happier with this product. The rubber seems to be of better quality and the plastic allows it to slide in and out of my pocket without stretching the rubber.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilflame2:
I know there have been various internet success stories using this controller with android for emulator gameplaying, The secret lies in the fact that it does not have an external adapter that plugs into the wii

Should any wireless (no adapter?) Wii controller work?

or the new one for the Wii U

I guess my goal would be to find an xbox-thubstick style controller. I have heard reports that you can use an ps3 controller with android, but I really dislike the playstation thumbstick layout.

I allready know about the following,

Nyko Playpad: - poor reviews, dislike the price, but about average for the market

Nyko Raven - This could be a good choice, but again average price

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianTopper:
Hi and Welcome to everyone.

I just joined this forum. I came across it a few weeks back and have been reading alot. Thanks to everyone for all the information and help I have received through reading different post.

I have the Galaxy GT-I9000 phone and started using the C-Rom Mix starting at version 6. They have now updated to version 8. I just installed it and everything is working great except I am getting alot of lag. It is very slow and many times if I try to hit the back button my application will just freeze and do nothing.

Does this version not have the Kill feature when you hold the back button, I used to like that feature.

Anyways, if I have to I will go back to version 6 or 7 but I really like to stay up on everything. Does anyone have any advice?????

Thanks

Brian
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
Yes it has kill app back button in settings/developer options

I'm using also the same Rom, i made the following settings to make my phone lag-free:

1. Set max 3 processes in Settings/Developer options

2. Installed a memory optimizer to keep my free Ram at a certain level

3. Disabled the PM Sleep mode also in Settings/Developer options
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianTopper:
Thank you so much. I really like the kill feature and couldn't find it at all. If you don't mind me asking what launcher do you use. I am using Go Launcher. I really like it and all its features but I am wondering if this is also a reason for some of my lag?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
I'm using Lightning Launcher. I like its simplicity yet at the same time very fast. It's features are very useful to me and very easy to use.

I don't think Go Launcher is the cause of your lag. But although Go Launcher is very good cosmetically and also fast, i read many users are complaining about its robustness, too many features added that are mostly bloatware which make the application heavy on disk and RAM usage.

Try re-flashing the Rom using the steps below, these are what i'm doing everytime i flash, although maybe some steps are redundant, they can do no harm:

1. Wipe data

2. Wipe Cache

3. Wipe dalvik cache

4. Clear NSTools settings

5. Clear Semaphore settings

6. Clear init.d

7. Format /system

8. Flash "Ultimate kernel cleaning script"

9. Flash the new Rom

10. Fix permissions

It is also advisable to flash a CM9 ICS first if you're coming from GB before flashing a JB Rom.

Hope this helps.

hi!

Sorry for posting my question here :D

I'm also experiencing an issue with the rom. It doesn't lag/freeze or fc.

I just can't get Google Play to work anymore.

Initially when I just flashed the rom with a full wipe (format system, wipe data/fs, etc..), Google Play didn't work.

I went to apply the fix on OTA and it worked again. But now suddenly, it can't connect to the internet anymore, I checked, the connection is fine, but Play Store can't connect.

Somebody help please!! :crying:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
Clear the data of Google Play and Google Services apps in Settings/apps.

If it doesn't help, flash the Multi DPI Google Play app included in C-RoM addons, then flash Google play fix also in addons.

Okay so I typed a long message and it got deleted claiming I wasn't logged in... sigh... Now to try the very shortened version, ha.

So basically I was on 4.0.4 with my HTC One X and exported all of my text messages to a file using HTC's built in exporter. It dropped a "file", no extension, into the SD. I've since upgraded to CM10 and cannot seem to find any way to reimport those text messages... I tried opening the file in notepad, vi, excel, even 7zip and I just cannot figure out how to open it up.

Does anyone know of any converter or aftermarket apps that can reimport this file? I'm considering actually going back to 4.0.4 just to reimport and export it back out as an XML since I know many apps can handle that file type.

Thanks for the help and I apologize if I missed this is my day long search for an answer to this problem.

Sorry, I do not.

I use sms back up and restore from play market.

I would reflash a sense Rom, install sms back up, back up, then move in to new Rom.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] digitLbraVo:
Bust!

I wonder if there's a way to back up everything so I can quickly get back to CM10 after I've gotten the text messages out of this, presumably, proprietary format?

Looks like I have a fun weekend project!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Uhh yeah . . . a TWRP nandroid. I'm surprised any one flashing ROMs would not know how to use nandroids. Also I've been surprised at home many people seem to be flashing ROMs lately without making nandroid backups.

Similar to WarRaven, I use the market app SMS Backup+ to backup my texts to Gmail. I believe Titanium Backup also is able to backup SMS messages (to internal SD), but haven't personally used it for that.

Same as you, I'm guessing the HTC backup function is proprietary.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] digitLbraVo:
Well it was really a guided experience by my brother in law who insisted I take the jump up to Jelly Bean. I'm still awfully mixed about it feeling like I lost some functionality in exchange for things that just didn't quite bother me.

If I had personally sought out rooting and using CM10 I would have spent a lot more time reading up on the subject but since he had done it on his own One X already I followed his guidance. I appreciate the advice and will figure something out for sure.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I have to agree. Sense has really come around. AOSP ROMs feel a bit more fluid in the launcher and menus. But its really just a "feel" thing, not a matter of lag actually making you wait for tasks to be performed (with the exception of certain apps - Play Store seems laggy as hell in Sense for some reason). I personally prefer the look and features of Sense over AOSP, although I see it perfectly reasonable that many others feel the exact opposite way. It really comes down to personal preference and tastes.

Don't let your brother railroad you into liking AOSP just for the sake of it (but give it a fair chance, of course). You're allowed to prefer Sense.

Definitely read up and learn, before attempting anything. But to more thoroughly answer your previous question, you can easily backup your existing ROM, including all user data, settings, etc. with TWRP (known as a "nandroid" backup) and go back and forth between ROMs. Just boot into TWRP and select the "backup" option.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] digitLbraVo:
Oh yeah I'm giving it a fair chance for sure. I'm kinda waiting with baited breath for HTC to pull their heads out and release it officially. Then I hope it'd be the best of both worlds? :fingers-crossed:
