I dont mind black bars. In fact, if you watch a real cinematic experience, one would want 2.39:1, not the 16:9 "HD" they push on us :p
[Galaxy Note II General] nymviper1126:
Thank you for this. Not good as i must study all weekend. Looks like my GF will be getting me a N2 since i got her an S3.

Is the Att version modable to have multiview yet? Or all the goodies you all love? I have not rooted any phone yet(may practive on my GS1) because I dont want to get sucked into the rabbit hole of reading thru forums for hourse!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioorganic:
Can we start generating a safe to disable list for the Nexus 10? Or I suppose, a consequences of disabling list would be more appropriate.

I've seen lists for other devices, but usually the lists are filled with manufacturer installed bloatware.

I have disabled Currents, Google Search, and Google+ with no noticeable problems.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioorganic:
I've done youtube, talk, maps, google+, google play movies/magazines/books/music, earth, currents, and exchange services. The strange thing is, some of the start-up processes for these apps are still running. I want to disable NFC and Wallet, but I a few folks mentioned something about corrupting their NFC chip (on other devices), so I'm a little concerned.

If you're rooted, use Titanium Backup to "freeze" them, then they can't start services.

If you don't want to buy titanium backup, and you're rooted, just use a file explorer to rename or delete them in /system/apps
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chugger93:
+1 for freezing
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioorganic:
Great, I purchased titanium backup a while ago, but didn't realize that freeze was different than disable in the settings/app menu. Thanks for the info.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SayWhat10:
I don't think there's a difference between the two

Except not everything you can disable in settings/apps,TB you can freeze anything

But freeze/disable has same effect
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brocktice:
Hi all, I'm pretty lost here. My Note II (N7100) suddenly won't charge. Earlier today it charged just fine. I've only ever run stock with root on it. It's not the charger, it's not the cable. I've tried many of both, all of which worked before, none of which work now. I flashed back to stock recovery and did a factory reset, and the problem persists.

When I plug it into a charger while off, briefly a gray battery screen with what looks like a stationary 'wait spinner' will pop up and then the screen will turn back off again. I know the USB port is not totally FUBARed, because I can flash it with heimdall in Linux. It shows up in lsusb when in the bootloader, but not otherwise. The port is pretty much spotless, especially compared with that on my GNex, which still works fine.

I've tried leaving the battery out for an hour, holding the power button, etc. It almost seems like a problem that could be solved by discharging some capacitors, but battery pulls always solved those on my Galaxy Nexus.

Any thoughts on other things I can try?

I can't even figure out how to contact Samsung support in case this is somehow a warranty/hardware issue. At least on their US site the N7100 isn't even an option in the pulldowns they want me to go through.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brocktice:
After some calls to Samsung USA and Canada, I gave up. Apparently the phone is from the UAE, for which Samsung USA has no phone number, and their repair centers won't touch it if it's international. This is really stupid and I plan to write to Samsung about it. It had only been three weeks since I ordered it, so I am returning it to the Amazon seller for a refund. I'll let them deal with their supplier in UAE I guess. I hate to do that, but it seems to be a hardware problem and I have no other recourse at this point.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynamesteve:
I cant really help here but i wanted to let you know i had the same problem with a white note 2 from Carphone Warehouse in the UK, just stopped charging after owning the phone for 2 days (i had also only rooted and running stock rom).

Carphone warehouse replaced the handset for me and havent had a problem with the new one so far but its made me take extra care when plugging or unplugging the usb cable ( i use Airdroid for file transfers now). I guess there must be a defect with a limited few usb ports on the note 2.

I thought it might be a 3rd party usb cable to blame (i use a blackberry usb cable at work but ive stopped that now and only use the official Samsung cable).

Sorry i cant help just wanted to share my experiences, hope you get it sorted, good luck!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brocktice:
Thanks for chiming in Steve, good to know I'm not the only one. I saw another post on here like that too, maybe it was yours? There was no discussion. The strange thing is ODIN worked just fine. Maybe a loose connection only on one/both of the power pins?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynamesteve:
Nah it wasn't me mate, I had just put it down to me being heavy handed and thought nothing more of it till I saw your post.

I've seen a post in the Jellybam thread today about the charging being down to software but I don't know how true this is as i've yet to check the facts.

Did you manage to get it replaced? I remember it was the worst feeling in the world when the realization hit that my phone wouldn't charge.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brocktice:
Yeah I just invoked the Amazon.com return policy, sent it back for a refund, and ordered another one. It was supposed to arrive today, but apparently UPS had some kind of mechanical issue and now it's delayed until tomorrow. I just need it to get here before my next month's Verizon plan bills so I can cancel before paying another month.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madpete:
Sorry to drag up an old thread but this has just happened to me, EXACTLY the same as OP.

I've reset it, wiped everything, re-flashed latest stock firmware. Tried 3 different cables and two different chargers.

Pretty sure the battery is good because if I take it out of the phone and charge it on the dock, it works fine. If I then put the battery back into the phone, the phones works in every way except it wont charge :(

I have most of my digital life on this thing, I am so screwed without it. Look like its a warranty repair job then? Ive had the phone about 3 months from Phones 4U :crying:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Looks like hardware issue..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shnn2011:
Happened to mine to T-mobile version. Never dropped it, never got it wet, only 1.5 months old.

WTF? Seriously?

Behavior:

Charges sometimes.

Charge sometimes stops at 70% or less.

Screen sensitivity screws up sometimes.

Data constantly being transmitted whether WiFi or cell network.

Never dropped.

Never wet.

Never harshly impacted.

Never rooted.

Tried factory reset.

Tried pulling battery.

Tried different chargers and cables.

Wondering if the trident aegis case put too much pressure on the charger cable by pushing it sideways with the flap.

Any ideas?

This happened to me yesterday after spilling tea on it. I took the device apart as per this video, checked the connectors and reassembled it. Voila, the charger is working again. Obviously I take no responsibility etc etc.

My Samsung Galaxy Note 2 wont charge

I have also had this problem where my galaxy note 2 wont charge. I have tried all the chargers i have used successfully in the past and none of them will charge it now. I had the problem some weeks ago and now it has happened again. I only purchased the phone in January 2013. It is very frustrating. I have never dropped my phone or damaged it in any way what so ever. I have no idea what the problem could be but i will be taking it back to Telstra as i need it sorted out.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stupc:
Same problem here - is this a generic problem with the Note 2??

I always put my phone on charge overnight , woke up yesterday and it hadn't charged. Swapped batteries - no problem - then put original battery back in, hey presto, charging!

But since then both batteries have run out and I couldn't get either to take any charge. Got it plugged in now and just like other people I've got a static charging ring showing, And no power.

Bought an external charger to try and get round this, but has anyone come up with a proper solution?? :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PavPev:
Strange...

a mate of mine just mentioned to me today that his note was charging strangely recently, apparantly he took an air gun (on low setting) to the charging port to blast out any miniscule dust n stuff and that fixed it!

Seems they're very sensitive and the smallest thing can make it act strange :p
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stupc:
Thanks for the tip, Pavpev - I gave it a try but still nothing. Perhaps my phone is super-sensitive! :p

It wont be long now!!!
[Motorola Droid 4] niko99:
Many people will dont like what i sed but ..

i have Droid3 and Droid4, and for both i use a official rom's from moto with own modyfications.. why

from these ~2 years i waiting for one full working rom ..

fist was for D3

CM7 not finished and not good to use, because of CM9

CM9 not finished and not good to use, because of problems with locked bootloader

CM9 Kexec not finished and not good to use, because of battery drain / camera / CM10

CM10 Kexec that same..

for D4 looking that same

CM9 stock not finisherd and not good to use

CM9 kexec not finished and not good to use

CM10 stok not finished and not good to use

CM10 kexec not finished and not good to use

and now start with android 4.2

I aslo love all what do for us Hash but 1 full working is for me better that 50 others cm10 cm11 cm12 cm13..

And i know the next my daily rom will be official JB from moto.. nothing will change im sure

Yes now you make shoot me..
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
yeah i just ended up making my own roms. they all work 100% and are ready now lol. got droid hd and eclipse.
[Motorola Droid 4] niko99:
myfishbear

I also use your deodexed rom with added languages +deblured + app from android 4.2 and that is best option.

Now we must to wait aroud 3-5 months and we got jelly bean and you make that same :)
[Motorola Droid 4] adizzle23:
I just have to say I haven't had any problems on cm10 and love it compared to my stock moto rom, and yes there are a couple bugs with the camera and sms but very easy for me to work around those and use this rom as daily driver. I'm just happy we have a few choices because everybody has there own preferences when it comes to the type of rom that is best for them, but just giving my opinion here and thanks to hashcode and dhacker for everything the have done and continue to do for the droid community. Looking forward to 4.2:)

sent from my droid 4/ cm10.
[Motorola Droid 4] niko99:
i spoke about stock cm10

- rotation have issue

- HDMI not work

- weptop not wok

- camera when take a photo ( flash ) is broken

so i dont know what you use if you dont have any problems, but i only sed my point that all :)

moto bring us JB and maybe 4.2 so.. im calm now :)
[Motorola Droid 4] orangechoochoo:
Just use Eclipse, it is basically bloat-free and is very fast if you use the overclock/undervolt and speed scripts.

I do agree with you that it stinks when projects aren't completed because a newer version of android comes out but it's not for a lack of effort. Its difficult to get these roms to work with a locked bootloader. Also, whenever a new version comes out everyone is clamoring to have it, even if it's an alpha or beta build.
[Motorola Droid 4] adizzle23:
Agree, the roms aren't perfect and I do have those problems so on that point u are correct, I just was saying that some people r ok with those bugs and some people aren't but I would prefer a complete rom without bugs any day. Hopefully we can all get what we need sooner rather than later and didn't mean to offend your opinion in any way.

sent from my droid 4/ cm10.
[Motorola Droid 4] orangechoochoo:
I'm not offended.

I ran AOKP for more than a week thinking I could live with the bugs. It was okay for a few days but then it became irritating so now I'm back to Eclipse.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] my_handle:
You're in oly there's your problem. .....I kid. If settings didn't work then yes sim card could be an issue. Don't think mine has dropped LTE since I got it. But I left the nw for the warm South.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] oo3:
I'm in Portland, and I have no 4G connection for some reason. I activated my phone online and it told me to use the sim card that was in my gnex. I've even tried to switch my preferences from global to CDMA/LTE but no go. I should have full bars where I'm at.

My phone just stays on 3G.

*EDIT*

Decided to call Verizon and activate the sim card that came w/ the Note and 4G is working so all is well. Kinda weird you have to activate a new sim each time you get a new phone...

Is or possible to disable quad core on this phone? I can see that s3 handles everything done with dial core
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
Even HTC G1 can get things done, with a half a core free to eat pop corn.

To your question, if you are patient enough then there should be safe and easy way very soon.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ranguvar:
Yes, it is possible.

Root the phone and then echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/online, where # is the number of the core you want to take offline.

As for governers that automatically hotplug cores on and off, we will have those soon enough.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locksmith81:
But why? I'm curious to why.... One would think that ox you're going to do that... Just get a non quad core phone.

And you'll always have the option to enable all 4 cores.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roughavoc:
+ battery life
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parker09:
Isn't 4 cores better for battery life because the amount of work is spread between them, eg. if the system is running on 4 cores @ say 1Ghz, but if you're using two cores, then it might be higher CPU usage on the two cores.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hern1989:
you can just use Setcpu to underclock your phone. no need to shutdown any cores. you just need to be rooted and install Setcpu. i did this and i noticed how much battery life i had afterwards. besides, there is no lag by underclocking it down.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwahchees:
As to my knowledge, turning off cores does not save any more battery. I believe the whole CPU is powered as a whole. Now like the guy said above, 4 cores running at 486MHz is a lot more battery efficient than scaling the processor to 702MHz for one core.

Reason being the cpu has to turn up the clock speed, which increases the voltage used by the CPU.

Also, if you're looking to save battery, undervolting is far better than disabling cores.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbroon:
On another thread it seems that you can under volt by a large margin with I'll effects.

Not got n4 yet but if its anything like the n7 you should be able to under clock quite a bit before it becomes noticeable.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkinetic:
Faux 005 kernel using Intellidemand governor disables the 3 cores when not needed, and then turns them back on when needed (hotplug)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logic0verflow:
I think this is correct, I'm learning about computer architecture now in class and from what I understood it's like this. If I were to build a house by myself it would not only take longer to finish but I would also be more tired when I did as opposed to sharing all the tasks with 3 other people. Also note that everyone(4 people) would have more energy left over for other tasks when the house is finished. I haven't finished this chapter yet so don't quote me lol.

So I backed up my 8 files to make my tablet brickproof. I want to always be able to recover this device back to stock.

Theoretically, at this point can I install anything I want on it, root it, put a ROM on it and when im done with all that and want to jump over to jb or maybe bring it back to ICS stock (9.4.3.29), just flash the ROM or firmware?

Is it that simple?
[HTC One X+] 911jason:
So I was trying to take a picture of my son sleeping on my wife's lap tonight. There was a light on in the bedroom, but it was too dark to take a picture without the flash. I opened the camera app and without adjusting any settings, tried to take several pictures. The flash was set to AUTO and it did activate each time I clicked the shutter button, however the actual picture would not be taken until the flash had already gone off. I tried 4 images with the flash set to AUTO and 4 images with the flash set to ON. Only 3 of the 8 images were actually captured while the flash was still visible. So there is an obvious issue with the timing of the flash and the shutter not being synchronized.

In addition, the image quality is really bad. The pictures all seem to have been run through some sort of photoshop filter that makes the image look like a watercolor or something.

All 8 images can be viewed here: http://imgur.com/a/lDIrg

[HTC One X+] 911jason:
I haven't had the flash sync problem anymore either. A simple reboot seems to have fixed that. Are you seeing any quality issues though?

Ha ha... I bet. CM doesn't use the HTC image processor... Is the CM camera really bad right now though?

honestly it doesnt look "too" bad but it does make the world look a bit lopsided :p

No the quality and the sync is fine, but at low light, the quality is ok but not not perfect.

But that problem is quite normal for small chips and ISO

[HTC One X+] Luckyfinch:
Same Watercolor issue

I have been trying to get a good picture out of this camera and I keep reading reviews where people say it rivals the iPhone, which is ridiculous. The photos look smeared and filtered. I cleaned my lens, tried every setting in every configuration and it still looks horrible. This is an example of a 100% zoom. All pictures take on this quality its super annoying.

Edit: These images were not taken with digital zoom. All images were cropped at 100% to show quality of the pictures.

My front facing camera seems to be fine though... so wtf?
[HTC One X+] WigglesGRN:
Digital zoom is never the best tbh
[HTC One X+] Luckyfinch:
No digital zoom

Those images were not taken with digital zoom. They are just cropped at 100% to show the quality of the images.
[HTC One X+] 911jason:
Yep, that's how my pictures look too. If I can't figure this out in the next week, I'm going to have to return my X+. Not sure if I'll try another one or just switch to another device.
[HTC One X+] iggdawg:
Pretty sure you're looking at what would have been an really grainy picture, and HTC knows everyone hates grainy pictures. So HTC tried to dial in what they thought would be an aesthetically pleasing image filter that summarizes colors and sort of substitutes "grainy" with "splotchy". I only really see it on lowlight pictures and if I zoom in real close.

I have a lot of reference pics of this one corner where the sidewalk meets the road outside my office where I go to smoke. I used to be a flashaholic on my HTC Inspire (AKA America's Desire HD), and I would compare camera shots of this one corner to see how the camera software on different ROMs handled it. during the day I can get direct sunlight and shade, so I have a ton of reference material. I can say with the "watercolor effect" you're really not missing out on much. It really is just "watercolor" instead of "grainy".

I think compression has a lot to do with it too. I think HTC probably has JPEG compression dialed in higher than we normally would, and the watercolor masks artifacts as well.

All that nay-saying aside, It does

murder

HDR shots. I'm looking forward to a time when either HTC hands us more ability to tweek settings and/or releases enough source for devs to manipulate the image chip. Sometimes I just want to save what the sensor sees.

Ok I think I've rambled enough.
[HTC One X+] 911jason:
You can easily see the effect in this picture taken at a distance of a foot or two with the flash on. Definitely far from low-light. You might have to zoom in a bit to see it, but not past 100%. My wife would kill me for posting this by the way! She's pregnant and not very happy with me taking any pics at all! ;)
