So there you have it folks - speaker cut-out and all. I got this case design for my dad's Nokia 710 and it looks very sturdy, hopefully same story here. Not unboxing my N4 until my case arrives. :laugh: Shame that Incipio isn't making cases for this phone (yet). I'm fantastically happy with my Incipio case for my GNex (and GS2).

I Think this was covered back in may with this [GUIDE] Simple Java6 installation on Precise/Mint-Maya/Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Nothing against the OP, Credits for attempting the spread the knowledge but that ubuntu help page is just plain doing it wrong when it comes to oracle! :laugh: Unfortunately the entire internet ( yes, I searched it all :p ) seems to use it as a reference so there's well over 9000 guides that seem to use that script retrieval method. It's simply not required

Just use the google way and pull both jdk-5 and jdk-6 from ubuntu's own archived apt-repos, it's never let me down yet! For good measure we can also install the oracle-java7-jdk using the apt-repository provide by www.webupd8.org

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main multiverse"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main multiverse"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu precise main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk sun-java6-jdk oracle-java7-installer

all the java under the sun ( microsystems ) and 1 under oracle :D

Looks like you've got another program thats locking the access to the sources. this normally you normally get this error if you forget to add sudo. Are you running automatic background updates or have you got a package manager open or the sources dialog?

Might be worth giving it the old "switch it on and off" again routine :D then try again

Nah, Apt doesn't work like that, and using these archive repositories works on any version and any ubuntu based distro, well anywhere you've got apt installed really. although some distro don't come with add-apt-repository which is a python helper script, in which case you can manually add following the lines to /etc/apt/sources.list.

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner

The "version" labels are irrelevant to the installation and are used to help apt resolve the directory on the web server where the Packages list is located, hardy's multiverse one is here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/dists/hardy/multiverse/binary-amd64/ for example. this is what "apt-get update" is doing

The reason for all three repository being needed is, java6 in the lucid repository has a dependency on a package found in the hardy repos, the upshot of adding all three is the option of installing java5 as well, just in case you get an urge to build any version of android that is pre gingerbread

All that being said using webupd8team ppa repository is fine. anything beats messing around with some daft installation script and an overly complicated multi-step process which seems to have been a previously banded about as the installation method.

Here's a console dump for both Ubuntu 12.04 and lubuntu 12.10. This is what you should be seeing if everything is working correctly.

[Android] sarkar1990:
Well, I always do it manually. In case you want to know:

Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/j...ownloads-javase6-419409.html#jdk-6u45-oth-JPR anddownload the x64 bin file. You need to login to oracle for this.

Once that is done follow the steps:

chmod a+x jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin

sudo mkdir /usr/lib/jvm

sudo mv jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin /usr/lib/jvm/

cd /usr/lib/jvm
sudo ./jdk-6u37-linux-i586.bin

sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac

java -version

This usually works. But in case you don't see your version while running

java -version

Just set path in your .bashrc

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
I had to do this the other day, for the same reason. Returning to stock Gingerbread from the link you posted did not restore the IMEI for me. However, I found a stock ICS .tar online that DID restore my IMEI: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162779447/3bb6230/I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_ATT.zip.html

I did a full nandroid backup, flashed stock ICS and verified the IMEI had returned, re-flashed TWRP and made a backup of only the EFS partition, restored my full nandroid backup and then restored the new EFS backup over that. Worked great and I had almost no downtime.

Only issue I have now is flashing the GB modem sets my IMEI as 0. I normally wouldn't care, because I can still connect to everything, but Cerberus won't run without a valid IMEI. Restoring my EFS backup does nothing. Returning to the ICS modem restores the IMEI again. Blah.

I was looking around on amazon and found this SNES replica USB gamepad

SNES USB game pad

It's plug n play on windows PC, but will it work on GN2 using OTG cable? If it does I'm thinking to make a custom mount that will hold GN2 on the gamepad like MOGA gamepad (Didn't really want to pay $50 for that thing and still having to use their proprietary app to have the controller working on my gaames).

Will it work without additional apps?

Plus, I'm hoping no lag since I will be using wired connection instead of BT.

Any thought on this set up?

I use a $3 no name generic usb gamepad. It looks like a ps3 controller.

Hi All,

I'm a complete noob when it comes to Android and am having difficulty following instructions to apply a volume hack to my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android 4.04).

Note: I have managed to root my phone, and have ES File explorer installed. All text in full caps is mine.

Here's the link to the full instructions http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1722136

Summary

1) Download attatched file ('default_gain.conf' inside 'VolumeMods.zip')

2) Use a file manager or ADB to push it to "system/etc" (back up existing file first!) I'VE GOT THIS FAR

NEXT STEP IS THE ONE I HAVE PROBLEM WITH - HOW DO YOU DO THIS?

3) From ADB or the Terminal do: HOW/WHERE DO YOU OPEN TERMINAL?

Code:

killall mediaserver
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmrenegade7:
Just read the link you posted. You don't have to use terminal, just you es file explorer to push the file to where he stated, change permissions then just restart your phone. The only reason he said to use the terminal was to reboot the media scanner, but rebooting your phone does exactly the same thing. Hope I could help :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmrenegade7:
I have no idea how you can scroll any faster I'm afraid and when you go to properties on the file you should see a button that says change. You might not even have to do it, I'm not sure whether its just when installing an apk file.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Wifi uses less power than 3g. 8hrs of screen on time is reasonable at stock imho.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mac01843:
With avg use, and counting that I do sleep 8hrs/day... I have 2 li-ion poly batteries & never tether to a wall... I generally get 24hrs, with about 10% or more remaining. I swap, read a book, until I am sleepy, go to sleep. The battery usually is about 95-97% when I wake up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
I don't think the op said that he/ahe is getting 8 hours of screen time. I think it's 8 hours total and if that's true then that's pretty bad battery life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BDawgTrap:
Something seems wrong

I have had the phone for a month now and have yet to kill it in under 24 hours (ok fine I got it to die in 23 hours and 36 minutes). I usually get about 1 day and 6 Hours. Of course, I am sleeping for a good portion of that... Typical screen use time is about 3 hours for me (inside that 24 hour phone use time) but I have done as much as 5 Hours of screen time. Im assuming that you could kill the phone faster if you really tried, but i have a hard time believing it would die in 8 hours unless you were doing everything you could to kill it..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gorelow:
ok thank you guys can i ask are you all roooted? im still on the fence about rooting this phone like i have my others. can not being rooted effect battery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
I'm rooted, running UltraLight1.5 with Perseus kernel. Rooting aside a big battery killer is the wireless network locater in Settings/Location Services. That stupid service kills battery with thousands of pointless kernel wakelocks. I used to disable Maps entirely, but that ain't needed.

I leave GPS &WIFI on all the time with screen brightness on auto, power saving turned on on the screen and cpu. 8hrs of screen on time easy...overnight at idle there's minimal eating of battery while I sleep.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Devi0124:
Obviously heavy usage is relative. I definitely get over 24 hours worth normal use. I'm pretty much on it constantly. I would imagine if you are gaming or watching videos then your battery is going to die much quicker.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
Being rooted doesn't give better battery life is just an access for to things you couldn't unlock before like admin rights.

However if you freeze a few apps you don't use and close any apps after your done with them you'll get better results.

Im pretty sure those ppl who get 2 days on their phone barely use this device as far as watching videos, games, n etc. ive seen those screenshots and barely or never is video or gaming usage seen.

Root ZTE T81

Hi all, It seems that no root method including Bin4ry's and SuperOneClick, have worked on my Telstra ZTE T81 so far, and the bootloader is impossible to access through ADB using "adb reboot bootloader" as the phone seems to go into DFU mode(red light, black screen, no response till you pull the battery out).

Physically I only seem to be able to access recovery mode, FTM, and DFU with a combination of the power and volume keys. I have a suspicion that maybe ZTE, in their recent FOTA update that i naively installed may have something to do with my being completely unable to access the bootloader or root the phone.

Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated :)
