Forgot to mention, to check for the black spots, set your phone to lowest brightness, then dial

*#0*#

Select the Black Color Option, and wait for a minute for your display to adjust

You need to do this in a completely dark settings,

Observe Carefully, and then post your observation here,

Any Black Spots?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
Well I don't have black spots but I do have a cracked screen now :/

Insurance is giving me a new one on Tuesday. I'll check that once for the defect.

I noticed a black line on the left side of my screen when using the camera in low light. Was going to send the phone back for a new one but didn't want to have to put a new screen protector on. It doesn't effect any thing, only can see it with low light with the camera.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
Any pictures showing the lines or black spots?

ButtonLED doesn't work for me for some reason.. when I do the "test backlight" it will flash like its suppose too. But when I get a real message or missed call the buttons never light up. But thanks for that. That's the closest I've got to BLN.

I don't know much about kernels but ive been reading about building them. I was wondering if someone knows if I could just mod my kernel and add some lines for BLN support. And what lines to add?

Much appreciated!!!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MurdocZero:
So I bought a 3g N7 for those few times a year I'm abroad and my VZW Gnex doesn't work out there.

Since the wifi n7 has a lot more roms to choose from can I regularly run wifi roms on my 3g then simply flash a 3g rom to get the radios working again? Or is it more complicated than that, requiring a restore back to stock?

Also are the 2 tablet similar enough to run a wifi rom without any problems?

Ok so probably Im way out my league here but I have rooted my NT (via A Wertz method on here). I have amazon app store and googleplay. Seems like I can download every single app except messenger. I can get IMO, ebuddy, etc. When I go to google play it says "app is not compatible with your device".. If I download from the browser it will download an .exe file but then errors to nothing to read the file.

Any ideas what Im possible doing wrong here?

Maybe I never needed to root it at all. Could there have been away to just get amazonapp store without?

TIA

[HTC Sensation] Mayhem00:
My Sensation XE is really laggy because of Google+ (EsService). How can I tell? Well, I found out late by running a CPU % monitor. Google+ didn't show up much activity, only spikes. But I discovered that once I killed the EsService from Google+, my phone was practically VERY fluent and fast. Has anyone encountered this? I'm using a Stock ROM.

Another peculiar situation: everytime syncing occured my phone would almost freeze every 2 seconds. I discovered that Google+ spend a lot of time syncinc so i disabled it. After disabling it, I no long experience this issue while sync occurs.
[HTC Sensation] Adamsville MITM:
tried clearing cache?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you have put a lot of apps to sync while connecting to internet try to disable any that are unnecessary or

maybe many apps are running in the background

me personally i am using also app quarantine app to lock some apps that i don't need(most system apps)
[HTC Sensation] Mayhem00:
I just told you that Google+ was the problem with sync. Everything's ok after I removed it from sync.
[HTC Sensation] Byro-ATM:
Have you tried removing all the bloatware etc? Use Startup Manager and disable any crap.
[HTC Sensation] Mayhem00:
I don't got many bloatware, but they are disabled in any case. This only happens when i see the EsService in task manager, it doesn't appear ONLY at startup, so a startup manager won't help.
[HTC Sensation] Mayhem00:
I removed Google+ and now my phone has been like revived. Finally no more "lag" spikes.

I bought this Gigaware GPS vent mount at Radio Shack for my Note 2. It was on clearance for 10 bucks. It works with the phone portrait and landscape. Works pretty good even though it doesn't fit my odd shaped vents. It bounces a little but should be ok and I have insurance. hehe When the phone is in portrait the phone isn't really snug. I like that I can put the phone in and take out without having to push the button to release the phone.

Wife's Revo (rooted, still has Android version 2.3.6) you have to unfreeze and defrost software updater periodically to get Bluetooth working again....she accidentally left updater enabled for a day or so, and it looks like it made yet another attempt to update, which invariably fails, and blows out numerous things on the phone.

So, whenever I watch videos I can get through maybe 6 minutes and then the buffering circle pops up. After that that video will indefinitely 'buffer'. This happens on every video sharing website I've been to other than YouTube.

I'm running stock touchwiz on top of ICS 4.0.4, using a Bell S3 i747M.

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Edit: I should probably include the flash version too -.-''

Flash: 11.1. 115. 20
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
Clear App data for the browser and youtube?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Know125:
Thanks for the reply,

Gave that a shot to no avail. Same problem :(

Edit:

It appears that the video will only buffer a small portion at a time and refuses to rebuffer after reaching the end of the previous... Is it possible to extend the buffer somehow?

Edit 2:

- Updated to Jellybean and reinstalled Flash after performing a factory reset, same issue occuring.

- Setting Plugins to always on does not fix problem

- Adobe Flash is setup to allow local storage

- Turning WiFi power saver mode off (in service menu) does not make a difference
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shiftr182:
Here is the stock launcher modded to allow wallpaper scrolling and rotation. In order to set a wallpaper to scroll, you need to use an app that allows you to set scrolling wallpapers, I personally use the 4.2 camera/gallery. Use root explorer and replace in /system app, then reset permission to rw-r-r.

As Chaz said it's for SecLauncher2, but I would imagine the mod would work on SecLauncher4 as well.

It will just change your seclauncher4.apk to seclauncher4.bak, rename seclauncher4.apk to seclauncher4.apk reboot and profit
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mongo23ny:
Not sure that will work, but if u want attach your SecLauncher4 and I'll have it back later. Otherwise, I'll post the SecLauncher2 for you. I'll make a generic one in a bit, mine is themed and the strings.xml is modded a little.

ANDROID...A New Digital Revolution Of Incredible Developers

Have been using the transparent AccuweatherPhone2013.apk with my current launcher which is the seclauncher4.apk. Guess Samsung changed up a few lines of code for landscape. louforgiveno posted in Themes/apps a link to rotating home screen...but I was never able to get the Accuweather 2013.apk to show up in the widgets. Some worked but wouldn't rotate to landscape. Maybe it might help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louforgiveno:
Hey ianmb......some time ago I had to reflash smoothest and re-wipe....anyway after that....(still on og version 1.1 of smoothest) The accuweather widget was there and works fine....just fyi
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
That's cool...i was wanting the transparent AccuweatherPhone2013.apk to stick on the Note 3 launcher with rotation. Thanks for the input bro!

ANDROID...A New Digital Revolution Of Incredible Developers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Transparent one should also work. I have not used the rotating launcher recently but I always have the transparent widget and am pretty sure it worked fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mongo23ny:
I haven't forgotten bout you dude, I'll take a look again later. The edit is in values/integers, screen orientation. It's not in that spot on seclauncher4.apk.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hazri1974:
Just to report that your modded seclauncher2.apk for 4.3 working great in my s4 i9500 4.3 deodex rom mk9...tqvm bro....only in app drawer it will messed up.....but iam happy bro......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mongo23ny:
It's not really messed up, you can still scroll the drawer. I didn't mod the layout in landscape. Thanks though, I'm glad you like it. Give shiftr182 a thanks, he did the original mod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hazri1974:
Yep....only 1 row cant be seen in app drawer while in landscape layout...on homesceeen its perfect...if u can mod the landscape layout in app drawer by just remove the last row i think it will be great bro...tq

"Knowledge is Wisdom"

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louforgiveno:
The link I posted in my thread here in themes and apps has a working seclauncher4 with landscape.....its for the note 3 but scaled and worked perfect on my note 2 with 4.3.....at first I reported that weather widget wasn't showing up but after rewiping the whole system and reflashing smoothest rom everything worked as it should.....the launcher I ended up using was 4x5 home...worked great
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Are you sure bro? The pics for the link show the launcher as having the dots for page scrolling and not the dashes with the little house for the home screen? I could be wrong but I thought that the Note3 launcher had the dashes and the little house. I know you have the Note3 now but I tried them all and couldnt get them to work. Maybe I'll try again. Would love to have the sec.launcher4 in landscape without having cutoff issues with apps and widgets.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louforgiveno:
Yeah I know. .the dots were different. .idk why. ..but from the time I made that thread I was rocking rotation. .at first try after half wiping my way to 4.3 it worked fine...just wouldn't show the weather widget in the widget drawer....then I just used transparent weather from market for about 2 weeks till I got off my a@$(kept getting the standard reboots) and wiped my system down...(this time wiping internal scard) loaded rom and launcher replacement. .didn't bother to recheck for weather widget for about 2 more weeks...and suddenly realized it was there and worked fine...but by that time I was hooked on transparent weather widget.... :)

So give it a shot. Don't flash the file but do the manual push to system. ..perms and reboot.

Let me know how it goes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mongo23ny:
I'm glad you got it working. I looked through the apk and couldn't find the edit. I figured Samsung changed it again so rotation couldn't be enabled.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Yea i believe just adding the line back in the same location enables it... They just removed it instead of it changing from"false" to "true"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mongo23ny:
The line for scrolling wallpaper is there, the line that enables rotation is missing. Is that what you saying to add?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
I downloaded the 2 files that I showed. Extracted both apk's .Installed App Settings via Xposed, activated said app...reboot.Then I copied/paste to system/app the 2 files I dl...AccuWeather2013.apk and sec.launcher4.apk...overwriting already installed apk's...fixed permissions...rw-r-r. Reboot Recovery wipe cache/dalvik again, then reboot. Go to settings/General/Application Manager scroll down till you find TouchWiz Home...clear cache/data. Reboot. Open App Settings scroll down till you find TouchWiz Home...press on it...then change DPI to 320... 'Orientation' to Force auto-rotation...press on the little sd card icon in upper right corner. Reboot...that should give you landscape Home screen. You CANNOT dl the launcher that has the Magazine.apk in it...it wont work so make sure you dl the testTW.4x6pu.apk and or the WeatherMegaT.zip...the T stands for transparent so the other 'WeatherMega.zip' is not. Once the WeatherMega.zip (T) is extracted it will be AccuWeather.apk file and the testTW4x6pu.zip will be sec.launcher4.apk.

REALLY hope this helps because it works on my phone!!!!
