[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zero383:
I used to put screen protectors on all my gadgets with a screen but then I came to my senses and realized, what's the point? It adds a rubbery layer that takes away from the smooth feeling of the screen and degrades the image quality slightly. The screen is made of Gorilla Glass which is pretty resistant to scratches unless you stab it with a knife. I would say just go naked.

FYI, you don't spray the solution directly on the device, you mist it onto the protector (not a lot). You then squeegee it out towards the sides without the speakers while holding a cloth at the edge to catch the runoff. There shouldn't be a whole lot of liquid anyways to be a concern even if you do get some over the speakers.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetaMs:
Lots of support for naked here I see! LOL

OK...I'm thinking about it. Thanks for the input.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YokoMotive:
I've got the ToroPlus and recently just encrypted the device. I've noticed that performance has degraded, it's lost a bit of its snappiness. Anyone else experience this? I know that the encrypt/decrypt process has overhead but I didn't expect to see a noticeable difference.

Also, is there no way to turn off decryption without a full wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seriously Ponies?:
I encrypted mine for a while and didn't notice much of a performance difference. I basically just got tired of having to use a password all the time.

You have to do a full wipe to remove the encryption. You can do the full-backup and restore method using ADB, though (although YMMV because it is a little buggy).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YokoMotive:
I figured I'd have to do a full wipe. I've got Titanium Backups, do you know if they would be rendered useless to restore from due to the fact that they were produced on an encrypted OS? I think the answer is "No," I should be able to restore from them, but I'm curious if anyone has had past experience with them...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DNak206:
+1

I encrypted on a rooted STOCK rom to add MS exchange email and even after putting a custom rom (XenonHD), it is still encrypted without my work email sync'd. I'd love to decrypt it without having to wipe if poss, not to mentioned wiping prior to installing XenonHD didn't seem to help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
Your titanium backups will be fine. For all tb knows, your phone is no different than a non-encrypted phone. Encryption is handled down at the storage controller and filesystem level.

You have to do a fast boot wipe.

fastboot erase userdata

Any other way will not clear the encryption.

Hello guys, just wanted to ask in case anyone else has experienced this. I attach a pdf to an email on Gmail, it shows as attached, but once I send it, the attachment is no longer there. I tried it on my macbook and it went through fine. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, and it still would not go through.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fprice02:
The biggest I have been able to send (not google drive) is about 5MB. Anything bigger than that is either server deleted or if it is an office product it gets put on google drive. 17MB seems pretty large a portable app to send.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamHLG:
I have motion enabled and quick glance enabled but cannot get the screen to light up by reaching for my phone or placing my hand over phone. Is there a trick to this? Anyone have this working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MoeDaddy:
Mine only works when the phone is lying down flat... like on a desk or table. Oh and hand needs be over the proximity sensor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamHLG:
Thanks for that. I got it working. It needs to be flat like you said. Pretty cool.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mwshows:
I've played with this feature and it's kinda ok I guess lol. But most of the time if I want to quickly check, my phone is sitting next to my recliner on a table. Since the phone has to be flat, it's rather useless if your table and recliner are at relatively the same height. You can't really see the screen unless you tilt the phone... Which makes the feature kind of moot.

I still like it though... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] swan3609:
I actually use the app called smart screen on. Its similar in that it uses the proximity sensor to wake the screen up.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] paddycr:
Just got my shiny new T889 on Wednesday :) I managed to root it yesterday via Odin but am getting itchy to flash some roms. I have a few questions about this before I do something stupid. I am a complete noob to Samsung devices but not to flashing roms.

1. After installing a custom recovery can I flash roms from the GT-N7100 forum or do I need to 'debrand' my phone first (kind of like the supercid thing for HTC phones)?

2. Odin question: is this basically like NVFlash for Samsung phones? Am I correct in understanding that this is a low level flashing tool? If so, how easy is it to brick this device?

3. Another Odin question: can I only flash .tar.md5 files through this? I take it that all .zip files have to be flashed through recovery?

4. I see a lot of talk about the 'download count' thing on the download screen. Is this only an issue for warranty issues and can I confirm that it resets to 0 by flashing stock?

Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions. Sorry if I have missed a link that easily answers these!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
1) No you cannot flash those

2) No nv will flash just about anything, whereas recovery has some very basic and limited safegaurds in place

3)Yes i think that odin only will flash the .tar files. But i wouldnt know completley because that is all ive ever used it to flash anyways.

4) NO flashing stock firmware will not clear your flash counter. It just wont ADD a count to it. To clear your flash counter you need triangleaway

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jade Eyed Wolf:
So, considering USB is engineered as a hub design from ground up in the first place, do you think it would be possible to solder an OTG adapter to the 5 pins?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 01jacksonb.:
Hopefully this may be of some help, I have also been trying to make one of these for the last few weeks.

So far, from purchasing this MHL - hdmi adapter, I have managed to map most of the pins, but am having difficulties getting USB OTG to work.

Charge, HDMI, and PC data connection work, but i still need to find the USB OTG pins for "smart dock" mode.

I assumed that this would work for USB OTG but it doesn't seem to work for me, it acts as USB Slave not Host (I.e. Connection to PC not HDD/Keyboard)

so far the pins i have identified:

(normal usb part)

Pin 1 - Vcc

Pin 2 - USB - (Slave)

Pin 3 - USB + (Slave)

Pin 4 - Sense (40.2K Ohm)

Pin 5 - Gnd

(extended USB Part)

Pin 6 - ? (Audio/USB host?)

Pin 7 - ? (Audio/USB host?)

Pin 8 - DP (MHL +)

Pin 9 - DN (MHL -)

Pin 10 - MHL ID (connected to ID Pin of MHL Adapter)

Pin 11 - Gnd

I will try and upload some images tomorrow, and a diagram of the plug.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] scote:
My 11pin mhl cable has a y piece with a usb on one side and hdmi plug on the other. No box like yours.

Do these cables have any components in them?

Is it worth me doing any testing with my cable, what actually activates otg? My son had a low end android tab and there was a menu option to change the usb mode, so how is it triggered on note 2, is it a signal, resistor, or just the presence of a peripheral?

There must be a way of spicing in a otg cable onto an mhl cable.

Smart docks wont be available in uk until march, but I would rather do it by myself with cables anyway.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 01jacksonb.:
First of all, sorry i didnt get arount to uplading any images yesterday.

Im in the same boat as you, I didnt think I could get a smart dock, and didnt fancy paying £100 for something I should be able to make for £10. I have since found 2 uk shops that sell them for £60.

On my MHL adaper the socket is built into the body if the device, but it only supplies 5v to the device, no data pins are connected through it unfortunately.

Inside these adapters, there is a chip to convert MHL's 2 data cables into hdmi's ~11 data cables.

On the note2 the modes are activated by a resistor on the sense pin of the USB plug, (pin 4) For smartdock mode, 40.2k ohm resistor is used.

The main problem I am having is acessing the pins, as they are so small on the plug. Im waiting for some copper clad pcb so I can make a breakout board for the usb connector.

No markings on mine, I just started numbering them as I noted them down (left to right), however i didn't follow standard pin mapping, and think i have noted them in reverse order :(

The following should be standard numbering. (if Samsung release a spec or diagram of the plug :P )

Here are the images as promised.

Smart dock pins:

Pin 1 - Vcc

Pin 2 - USB - (Slave)

After watching a review of the smart dock, in which the S3 is said that USB doesn't work in dock mode, and along with the Note 2 working with PC Docking. I can only assume that the data has to be on the pins 6 & 7.

The next step is identifying the polarity of them, luckily D+ & D- both can take 3.3v (used as ID for USB 1.0 or 1.1) nothing should be damaged if the polarity is incorrect.

The next issue is connecting all of the wires to the USB pins at once. I can't connect all of the wires to the 0.3mm pins, and expect them to not come loose or short. The only solution that i can think of is to etch a breakout PCB for it. Hopefully it will arrive soon, Unfortunately my first board was way too thick for the plug.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] flez1966:
Your attempts look as elegant as mine..

I was trying with a single strand of bare wire, if it goes down fine then it can be insulated with coloured mail varnish.

That way each stand kind of ends if like the varnish covered wire used in transformers or some of those cheap $2 headphones
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] flez1966:
if you look at 'spare' plugs sold on ebay for the s3, they have the pins setout very odd, for single sided board mounting
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 01jacksonb.:
Normally when i need to connect to small pins like these, I use Kynar wire, as it is so small and single core. However when usb host didnt work, i assumed that it was because the cable had to much noise, so i changed to normal USB cable (which also didn't work)

The socket is interesting, it looks like they surface mount it, unlike the plug that i have, which mounts on the side of the circuit.

Have you seen anybody selling the plugs cheap, and in low quantities? the only place i can find is alibaba, and i have to buy a few hundred :(

Excuse the rough edges, I through together a breakout board for the plug, so that i can easily access all of the pins, and secure the cable in place.

I made a quick sketch on a PCB and etched it. Not quite figured out how to print them yet.

---------- Post added 7th February 2013 at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was 6th February 2013 at 11:53 PM ----------

I just powered it up, and gave pins 6 & 7 a try with a memory stick connected, unfortunately there was no response from android, it also didn't see a mouse.

not sure why it doesn't detect, maybe there is too much interference, or the pins just aren't usb.

anyway, i will dig out my osciloscope, and start testing the pins to see what data they are trying to send.

I may end up having to purchase the smart dock to see what makes it tick.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] flez1966:
i'd check for shorts.

doesnt usb otg need a pin shorted to ground? or 100 ohms etc.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] teshgnex:
subscribed to this thread and will chime in when I can offer some insight - my smart dock is due to arrive (tomorrow?)

I'll hopefully be taking it apart to test around for what wire is getting what resistance etc...

one thing I'll need to do is make a usb-micro-male end into a usb-a-male end so I can test the dock w/my lapdock (it's been the goal for me on this hdmi/otg/charging build)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 01jacksonb.:
Thats the exact same reason that I have been trying to make one.

I have the lapdock ready and waiting to be modified. If you need any info on the lapdock's USB and HDMI connections, have a quick look at "RaspberryPi Lapdock"

I hope that you get your smartdock soon. Im Looking forward to your input.
