Yes, that has been mentioned and discussed a length above, with diagrams. If you read the thread, you'll see that.

I believe pretty much all phones put the antenna at the bottom, so there probably actually is an engineering reason for this. And this also does not explain why the Nexus 4 has more problems. For example, my Nexus One that suffers less from this sort of signal attenuation, also has the main antenna positioned at the bottom.

Someone speculates above that the reason for this is to keep the antenna further away from people's heads.

Whatever the reason, I think that the problem of signal attenuation is obviously very widely known. It seems imporbable in the extreme that engineers who design antennas don't think about this, when selecting antenna positions. But they probably also have a number of different competing design demands that have to be balanced against each other.

So I don't know what exactly accounts for the differences in susceptibility to signal attentuation between different devices, but the differences are not because of the antenna being placed at the bottom.

I got a replacement phone because of some camera issues... and Ive noticed this phone has weird 3G issues. I dont really make many calls because people around here mainly text these days, but dropped calles are rare in spain anyway.

I have put a signal strength widget on my home screen. when its on the table, i get something between -85 to -89 dBm. when I hold thing (mainly at the bottom like everyone holds their smartphone).when I hold it on my left hand (again common, since I'm right handed), the signal strength almost instantly drops to -93 dBm, then to -99 dBm. i might even hit -103 or -105 dB depending on how long I´m hold it. anywhere below -100 dBm and the data starts acting weird.

I noticed data acting weird on the first 3 hours I got this replacement. but to be honest, I never really measured the signal strength on the old one that I'm sending back to google. I just never noticed anything weird with it
[Nexus 4 General] brilldoctor:
All phones do it (the iPhone 4 was really bad). Haven't noticed as much on the nexus
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
This is correct. :thumbup: My fiance had a iPhone 4 and it was horrible with this. But every phone with an internal antenna will do it. Depending on which part of the world u live in your antenna is in different spots in the phone. So for me for instance if I cup the bottom of the phone my antenna that my carrier uses is there and I will lose a lil signal.

I am also experienced same problem with you guys. Don't know why when i hold bottom area with my hand (Especially with my left hand which is give me worst Impact than my right hand ) dBm signal go down from 10 - 15 dBm.
[Nexus 4 General] flask4o:
I'm truly disappointed with the Nexus 4. I ordered 2 devices from the US Playstore to use them in Bulgaria. Unfortunately, one of the phones have most of the issues written above. The other one is working properly. The difference in the signal strength is around 10 dBm regardless of the network. In some situation 10 dBm could be crucial. I've tried hard reset, wipe data and etc with no result. The devices are with exactly the same firmware, radio and everything. For me, it's more a hardware problem, than an issue with the radio. With Nexus 4, Google and LG are a step closer to Apple or maybe I'm holding it wrong...
[HTC Droid DNA] BigRed35m:
Ok, so call me a noob....again....But here is my situation

I had to return my HTC DNA To Verizon due to the AUX Jack not working, so I downloaded and bought TitaniumBackup Pro, and backed up all of my apps and data thinking i would be able to restore it all on my replacement device.

I got my replacement device today, i transferred all of the APK (Zip files) and ODEX (Zip Files) to my phone. I went into Titanium backup, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to restore the apps and data from the backup files i have.

Am i missing something, or what?
[HTC Droid DNA] mistamista2000:
When you go into TB, go to the Backup/Restore tab and click the square/check mark symbol. Choose the type of restore you want and click run. Verify your options on the final screen, click on the green check mark at the top, and let it do It's thing.
[HTC Droid DNA] TheBiles:
Make sure you set the backup folder location in Titanium.

Sent from my Droid DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] BigRed35m:
I did go into Preferences -> Backup folder Location, and directed it towards the location with the backups, and it can see all of the .gz files, but there is a little blue icon that says there is only 1 backup in the folder when there is a list of about 30.

I tried going through there, and i clicked on every single restore option, "Mising apps with data, all apps with data, all system data, ect..." and none of them recognized the backup files that i had in the backup directory, so nothing was restored.

---

Is there something i need to do in order to get TB to recognize the backups, because in the batch restore window it only shows (1) backup, and that was a test backup that I did to see if the numbers would change at all.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wizend:
I restored all apps from my Titanium backups from my Droid X.

They were in a folder called TitaniumBackup in my Droid X so I copied the entire folder to my desktop. Then drug it to the root of the sdcard folder on the DNA.

I then opened up Titanium and set my backup folder location accordingly. I then hit either reload application or refresh apps list in the menu. It then refreshed the list in the Backup/Restore tab to include all my currently installed apps, and all my backups. The backups were crossed out indicating they are not installed.

That worked for me, past that I have no idea.
[HTC Droid DNA] BigRed35m:
Thanks for trying to help, It sounded great and I was hoping it would work, but it didn't :( Oh well i guess, I have already re-installed everything one app at a time, I guess i'll just have to Re-do Hill Climb Racer allllll over again.

At first, i did just copy the Titanium backup folder over hoping it would automatically recognize it and sync to it, but nope.

Are you rooted? Titanium requires root. I have to ask, only thing I can think of.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
How many times can a person wipe everthing and flash new roms before it starts to cause problems with your phone if it even does thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Next1776:
I think as long as you do a FULL wipe between flashes (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) there is very little risk of screwing something up. Assuming you flash the compatible rom for your device. That said, I flash stuff constantly without doing a full wipe, and occasionally things pop up, but I havent had anything that caused anything major, YET. And I dont make any complaints if I do run into issues, I consider it my fault for not Full wiping first. Anyway, I think most would tell you to do a full wipe before flashing a new Rom or major update, unless you are just flashing an update of the current rom you are on. I flashed about 6 times yesterday back to back, only wiping dalvik and cache, and had no issues. The developers dont like to hear about issues if you haven't done a full wipe before flashing, and rightly so. They dont want to waste their time chasing issues that may only be caused because something leftover from a previous rom is jacking up your install of their rom / work. Hope that helps....

So, I say flash away, you'll be addicted in no time!!:D

1. Research, know what you are flashing.

2. Nandroid back up before flashing.

3. Wipe,( or at least follow the reccomendations from the developer) FULL wipes are highly recommended IMO. :D

4. Flash away!

5. Thank developers

6. Repeat!

If I've left something out please correct it....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coiledwire:
If you're speaking of a hardware failure, I'd start worrying after wiping/flashing a rom everyday for 5 years straight. Provided you don't have an existing hardware issue, you should be okay.

I thought there was a Photosynth app for WP8 and available as one of the lenses in the camera.

However, I've not been able to find it in the store.

Any info about it? Can anyone post link to it if they can find it?

Hi all.

I wanted to drop in and say thanks to Scott from scottsroms for taking the time to compile Cleanrom5 for us. Also want to extend my thanks to team Ac!D, the folks behind the gapps 4.2 release and the devs of kindacrap mods.

I am on a Verizon GS3.

I Installed TWRP recovery, wiped cache, dalvic, and data.* Then I flashed cleanrom5 with nova launcher and all addons. Next I flashed Ac!d Audio Mod 5.0.* In acid I selected the Samsung on the first two options, elected the second option on the next screen to skip walkman and clearaudio. On the last selection screen I selected Noozy. I followed up with kindacrap mods 2.4 and installed google apps 4.2 using the kdh nxt gen 4.2 gapps package.

I also upgraded nova launcher to the full version. I use a solid black wallpaper on the desktop and lockscreen because it looks sharp with the S3's AMOLED display. It also saves energy. My weather app on the main screen is the Yahoo! Weather app.

The Ac!D audio mod with noozy and noozxoide audio processor sounds amazing paired with my Mee Electronics A161P in ear headphones (single balanced armature driver).

I attached a few screenshots this makes my phone feel and sound absolutely fantastic.

Anyone found a copy of the stock 4.2 dialer with t9 added for contact search? Would prefer not to use a third party app like dialer one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul1508:
I would like to revive this thread and ask the question a bit more specific:

From what I have heard there is a T9 stock dealer replacement out there somehow. You have to flash it via recovery to completely replace the original one and therefore it has to be rooted.

Where can I find the newest and official version of that T9 stock dealer? I found download links on smaller sites, but I don't want to flash any crap or outdated things :(

I have an incredibly annoying problem I can't resolve. I'm running Launcherpro and I also use Gosms, stock otherwise but obviously rooted. So anyway, my notification ringer keeps going silent with sound on, but worse is it gets stuck and I can't increase it no matter how I try without resetting. I literally can't do anything to it, the volume slider grays out. I've tried going through settings, using audio manager, and all have the ability to change the notification volume disabled. . Once I reset it it goes back to normal, but eventually and randomly goes back to silent and gets stuck. I have no clue what to do but it's obviously infuriating. I'd appreciate any help and I'm sorry my initial thread was in the wrong place. If any other info is needed please let me know. This is just an awful problem, really frustrating.

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a way to get the cm-10 nav bar without having to root.

I've tried just about every launcher out there and none of them have that

Option. On my SG2 I run liquid smooth ROM and its in there and basically

Let's me program it any config option of the nav bar. I want this on my note2 but

Without having to root as I need to keep WiFi calling and other reasons.

Anyone have ideas how to get this working .

Thx

Casperi

Sent using xda premium
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Dennis_:
Wow.

1) root does not effect wifi calling

2) no way to get nav bar without root.

3) all those nav bar options are built in the rom, no rom has that here. Best you can do is add a line to your build.prop and get tbe regular nav bar like on stock nexus devices
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] casperi:
Wow what?

Its not like we have kernal for CM-10 so there's no reason for me to root. If im going to root then its going to be for cm-10. All the other Roms look fine but dont offer enough for me root and flash even with most of them based off of tmobiles kernal. I just cant stand tw and None of the stock rooted roms have the nav bar. Been on cm since 6 days, one gets use to that after awhile.

I was just hoping there was a hack on a launcher that I might have missed. Nothing that deserves a "wow" from you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Dennis_:
Ok. I take it back and change wow to search. Better?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joe333x:
Lol you do realize you can root with out flashing a ROM right? Like already stated you can root and add a line to your build prop to enable the stock nav bar, that's about as good as it gets right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] casperi:
Sigh,, yes I'm fully aware that

1) I can root and stay stock

2) I will keep my wifi calling if going this route

This wasnt what I asked. All I wanted to know was if there was a launcher out there that i missed that enabled the abilty to have the nav bar without having to root. Man I don't think I could have worded it any better. I just have no need to root until we have cm-10. Even the hack I posted in the other thread doesnt really give the option to customize the bar like I can with liquid. So unless a dev comes up with a way to do this before we have cm10 there's not much else to say

Since its not in a launcher.

Wait, let me understand you correctly. You want a feature that you had to use a rom to get before, but you dont want to root? Did you load a rom without rooting on your older phone? And wow... hows coming off like a jerk working out for you?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] casperi:
Look all i asked for was if there was a launcher that had this ability that I may have missed. Pretty simple right? instead I get a "smart ass wow" etc about rooting etc and wifi calling. It wasnt what I asked and I tried to make it even more clear that until we get a kernal with cm10 that for me its not worth rooting cause none of the current roms have the nav bar.

I already know how to root, I know what roms support wifi calling etc, and I know that just rooting my note2 isnt going to kill my wifi calling. None of This was what I was asking. And I didnt need a smart ass wow comment on such a simple question. New launcher updates come out all the time so I reached out to my fellow xda'ers to see if there was such a option that I missed. Instead I get talked down to like a little boy and that is most differently not going to fly.

Maybe if you were on my end of the sleeve you would understand.

I'm No dev thats for sure, its not my skill set but I have been flashing since the G1 and HD2 days. I help out the devs via giving them a free place to host their roms that are high traffic or a guy thats just starting out for free. Then donate fare amounts to the ones of the roms I use. This is the way I help out here because those are the resources I have at hand.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Dennis_:
Ok ill break it down for you. The reason I said wow is your original post sounded like you were wanting everything, did no research, and wanted to have others give you what you wanted on a silver platter. You asked about not rooting due to "keep wifi calling and other" reasons. Basically you sounded like a noob who expects devs to do the impossible/incredibly difficulty (in this case launcher devs) while it is certanly possible to do similar to what you want (think button savior) it is not something that would work well without root due to android permissions for certain button actions. If you would tell us why you are afraid of rooting that might help us help you also, since you now claim its not because of wifi calling.

So for onscreen buttons check out button savior, not exactly what you want but it is onscreen buttons.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lamario:
Lol at this thread. I dont know if you figured it out yet, but here's the skinny. Nav bar, or softkeys is an android os feature, not a launcher feature. As far as I know, there isn't a way to install cm10 without root (at least, it doesnt install without root). P.S. We may never see an official cm10 kernal for Note 2 beause the cm team says that the Note 2 sources are crap and that they are being properly supported, it would take them too long to sift through it all. Now there is a way to enable the softkeys on the original rom, but it requires root, and the softkeys suck compared to cm10's nav bar. I'm currently runng PAndroid (a cm10 based rom) with nav bar and hardware keys disabled. I hope that helps.

And casperi, it sounds like we both got into this scene at the same time. I started off with my G1 when it first came out, then moved on to the HD2 years later. The difference is that I searched for that question before opening a new thread. And not only in T-mo Note 2 forums, but AT&T and across google as well. There are now a few different threads for what you are looking for.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] decalex:
Reiterating what others have said, unless it's an "artificial" navbar that the launcher or an app creates, it won't work without root.

If/when you decide to root, that line of code you add to your build.prop is:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

I've added it to my TW rom (jedix8), cuz it's convenient on this big phone to have access to a back button on both sides.
