[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
as i know these threads have been getting a bad rap latelybut there is one more that is needed...

Basically Adam Outler has agreed to help us with unlocking the bootloader and hopefully even carrier unlocking it

with his past work on the galaxy s3, galaxy camera, and numerout other devices he is the best fit for the task.. in my opinion

Keep in mind:

he doesnt have verizon nor does he plan on getting it he is just doing this to help us.. so we would need to donate to him to get him the phone (same way it was done on s3 we bought him the phone) after he is done and task is complete he expressed intrest in doing a contest on xda tv to give the phone aways(again he did this with s3)

Here's what He'd like to research:

1. Open-Source bootloader replacement

2. Dual-Boot from SD with Hardware modification

3. Possibly carrier unlock for use on AT&T and others

donations should go to his secure link here :

please if u donate post your transaction id and amount in the thread so i can keep track of it

ill start it off with a $20.00 donation i will prob donate more but all i have in paypal is 20 atm

[Android Apps and Games] aujbman:
I'm not sure if one of the multiple voice assistant apps already does this, but I haven't discovered one yet, so thought I would throw this out there.

Here is what I would like to do.

I have two android phones--One I don't use often, one daily driver. I would like to turn the first one into a sort of HAL system for the house, where I can ask it questions, and tell it to set reminders for me. Here is the catch, most apps like that now only set a local reminder on that particular phone. I want an app that syncs with other versions of itself on different devices and carries the reminder over to the other device as well. ".assistant" in the market does have an option now where you can sign in and use the same profile on different devices, but so far my testing has shown that it doesn't work very well.

Anyone have any ideas or comments?
[Android Apps and Games] Jimi Mack:
I can suggest looking at Maluuba, it will sync with you Google calendar. So if you use Google, each device would sync with the same Google calendar, thus giving you the same info on each unit you sign into with. As for reminders, not sure but if set them as events it would then work. At least it is worth a look and try to see if this can resolve your issue.
[Android Apps and Games] aujbman:
Yeah. I have thought about going through Google Calendar. It would definitely be one way to do it. However most assistant apps don't set reminders through Google Calendar by default or can even be configured to. So you would have to make sure you set a Calendar reminder every time you wanted a reminder set. Just seems like a hassle when a good assistant app that syncs to different devices would do the job more efficiently. I'll look at the app you recommended.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] video_master:
So I have tried to turn down the volume of the notification sound and it seems like it does not get very quiet at all. I have it at the lowest setting before it actually goes to silent. Is anyone else having this problem or is there a way that I can make these notification sounds quieter so they do not wake the dead?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
You could find the tones online or ones you prefer more, then lower the volume of them with audacity or some other free software.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] matrix2004:
My facebook notifications vibrate only. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
In facebook hit menu button then Settings>Notification Ringtone to change it. It's possible it got pointed toward a tone that doesn't exist anymore somehow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darthbull:
Was there any solution to this? I have the same problem where the notification volume is way too high, and moving the slider in the settings does practically nothing. The volume sliders work fine for the media, system, and phone ringtones. However, the one for notification seems broken. I tried searching, but found nothing similar. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.

[HTC Droid DNA] Stryker1297:
so... one of the main reasons i got this phone is for the beats... while it is shiipping i would love to know if there is any chance a few questions could be answered.

does beats only work on/get full richness from beats head/earphones?

how do you know if it is working?

does beats also affect speaker quality?

and if the first question is correct, is this because of the beats audio engine is already installed, or is there another reason?

any helpful answers will be met with a thanks i guess :P
[HTC Droid DNA] pennie57:
Only on headphones and a beats symbol will show in note bar
[HTC Droid DNA] BigRed35m:
I can't speak for the full richness of beats head/earphones, because I have only ever used my cheap $9 ones or the AUX jack in my car.

I asked myself the same question "How do i know it's working," when you plug in an AUX Jack, A small red b (circled) will show up in the notifications bar. What i did was plugged my headphones/car stereo system into my phone, and played some music and turned beats audio on, then off again and i did notice a nice difference in the sound. (See attached Picture)

You can tell if it is working my turning that option in the notification bar on/off and noticing the difference.

Speaker quality is not effected by Beats unfortunately, but the speaker itself is loud and great :)
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Bluetooth as well.
[HTC Droid DNA] Stryker1297:
thanks a lot guys!!!! that clears up a lot for me!!! cant wait to go all music junkie with this phone :D
[HTC Droid DNA] syler2012:
So i am using my $200 v modas the beats softwear ups the treb and bass its headphone amp really helps in all of it it maynot be a huge amp but it gets the job done though i do believe it drowns out the mids a little i will have to test out some other songs and get back to you i only tried hip hop so far :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Stryker1297:
thanks bo specific help like that is what i like!!
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
If you root, I HIGHLY suggest you install the DSP Manager: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2017647

You can use it along or, like me, with Beats audio for the best sound ever out of my Skullcandy earbuds. On some songs, I can literally feel the bass vibrating my forehead.
[HTC Droid DNA] syler2012:
......

lol skullcandy earbuds......... 50/50 ? metal jackets ? dude you need a upgrade :) never go for low grade headphones like beats or skullcandy http://v-moda.com/in-ear/

check them out they go through military testing standards as well audiophile type quality
[HTC Droid DNA] Stryker1297:
lol i have sensitive ears and im not sure my forehead vibrating would be too enjoyable... what i am considering though is klipsh or however you spell it haha... very clear sound. thanks for the suggestion though
[HTC Droid DNA] syler2012:
PLEASE do research into different headphones before jumping into the "fashion headphones" like beats. klipsch headphones are okay depending on what you get i would recommend like sennhiser .... audiotechnica ...V-moda .... koss :) what exactly are you looking for ? a bass heavy headphone ? or something that has more of a audiophile approach or just some random 19.99 headphones ?

Monster turbine copper pros, are the ones I use for in ear.

For over ear, I use beats pros. The beats pro's with the dna's extra amp kicks ass.

If you havent used the pros, please don't knock it.
[HTC Droid DNA] syler2012:
LOL i have the beat pros. The big metal ones i have the detox too as well as studios... They are over priced over used and .... not even that well built vmodas beat the beats up and down dont be a fan boy
[HTC Droid DNA] typeriz:
Not an fanboi, i don't like the studio or solo's.

Studio's gave me an artificial sound I didn't like. Too much dynamic range.

Haven't tried the v moda, can't comment on them, but I do know alot of counterfeit beats going around, and everytime I let people here my pros, who bought the bootlegs are impressed. Not saying you got the bootleg Johnson's , just saying ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] revolutionz_s13:
If you really want some good SQ, and have high bitrate (320kbps+) or flac/other lossless formats, download neutron music player...by far the best SQ I've heard out of a cellphone when paired with the dedicated headphone amp. I turn the beats dsp off and set this up and its great. Currently using westone 4's and etymotic er4p. Never tried over the ears, I prefer in ear. I do use the beats dsp when playing slacker radio. It does muddy up the mids a slight bit, but seems to me to pick up both ends of the spectrum and bring the soundstage just a bit more forward.
[HTC Droid DNA] typeriz:
+1 on neutron player, very in-depth music player

I forgot I purchased it a while ago, going to give it a spin.

How are the westons compared to the turbine coppers?
[HTC Droid DNA] revolutionz_s13:
Not sure, I've never tried them. I also have a pair of Shure SE215's, which are single driver. Obviously not going to be as good as the turbines driver, but I seem to prefer multiple armature in-ears versus single. I feel like the details are a bit better seperated, yet still blended well.
[HTC Droid DNA] Stryker1297:
something with really clear and crisp sound. the bass doesnt need to be explosive XD but i do like to be able to hear a backgroung track and percussion as much as the vocals (i'm a drummer :P) and yes you could definitely call me an audiophile lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jam_27:
I hope there is no similar thread on this yet and I request to all to add bugs here

my device: GSM international yakju-rooted

bugs:

1. clear recent apps in landscape mode, then switch to portrait mode and the cleared recent apps are BACK!!....and vice versa!!

2. Did OTA update with Bluetooth on and cannot switch off Bluetooth now with devices paired. Bluetooth switches back on automatically as soon as I try to switch it off. Correct me if this is a change in 4.2.1 or if this is indeed a bug.

Other complaints

1. apps on lockscreen widgets starting up randomly

2. 3 sec lag to start daydream and camera app

3. butter gone

4. laggy

luckily no random reboots and broken Bluetooth as others have reported on my device yet. I am not happy Google.:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ma7moud90:
1. doesn't happen with me

2. can't test that (no bluetooth accessories)

Others:

1. lockscreen needs improvement (like clock widget auto resizing itself to full screen when swiping through screens)

2. my camera app starts in less than 2 seconds

3. 4.2 is a little heavier than 4.1.2 but still buttery compared to other high end phones

4. not on my phone

Something which happens to me when creating events on calendar... If i manually type in the end time of the event and the minutes are 59 (e.g. setting the end time to 22:59) when i press okay the time goes back one hour (e.g. 22:59 becomes 21:59). Anyone else?

I got the same Recent App bug, which I didn't notice before!

But overall it is running smoothly. Did you try factory reset or flashing stock image?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbwelch:
* I listen to podcasts via Bluetooth car audio during my drive to and from work. Ever since 4.2, I get frequent Bluetooth disconnects while I am listening to audio. This never happened before 4.2. Unfortunately, 4.2.1 did not fix it.

* When third party apps such as Locale or Tasker turn WiFi on, it will not connect to any access points in range. However if I turn WiFi on via the WiFi settings, it connects immediately.

* Car mode is broken in 4.2 and 4.2.1. A "car home" app used to be able to invoke a mode where the home button would return you to the car app instead of the desktop. Now, the home button drops you to the desktop and crashes the launcher (Android's desktop process).

* Overall, much more lag and delays. Looks like 4.2.x is optimized for the Nexus 4 and its 2GB of RAM. 4.1.2 seemed perfect -- too bad we only had it for less than a month.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slattery69:
i find it takes a couple of swipes of the security pattern at times, screen doesnt always respond as quick if ive not used my phone for a few hours.

didnt happen on 4.1.2 , not a massive issue but i do notice it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jam_27:
Firstly, It sounds bit too much to do a complete wipe and re-flash or a factory reset for just a dot.dot update.

Also, I have been reading that for some wipe and re-flash did not fix the Bluetooth issue. Also, a just a factory reset after OTA hasn't worked for all.

Can we please have confirmation here that a the factory reset thingy works so that all of us having issues can give it a shot?

In case we should wipe and re-flash, can it be done in the following way?

1. full backup system (in my case using titanium backup)

2. factory reset

3. copy the relevant image , yakju 4.2 in my case, into memory and flash zip using cwm recovery (6.0.1.5 in my case). then flash 4.2.1 similarly.

4. restore root.

5. system data/apps restore

please let us know.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdabilly:
I agree with the 3rd and 4th points. Camera app is quite different from ISC 4.0 and Jelly Bean 4.1, both icons are rotating while the phone is rotated. However, Jelly Bean 4.2's icon, instead of rotating, they shift the position while the phone is put as horizontally. I hope these will be fixed in the near update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
I got the same bug on both my galaxy nexus and nexus 7. For those who said that they don't have this bug, did you leave at least one app on and rotate the screen while having the recent apps menu open? Try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergini:
Just tryed that, no bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ianmac52:
Can I turn off updates

OTA update to 4.2, totally stuffed my setup, flashed 4.2.1, no difference, have now flashed stock 4.1.2. to make the phone work as it should do.

Problem 1: The signal strength meter vanished on my car screen, no indication that bluetooth had connected.

Problem 2: The speaker, as I am sure we are all aware, is rubbish. I am using the pucker car mount and have a small speaker system set up and hooked into this so that I can hear warnings from CamerAlert. The phone connects over bluetooth but the CamerAlert warnings are directed out of the device speaker and go via the car mount to the speaker system - works a treat. With 4.2 this totally disappears and I get half a warning from the device speaker itself.

Having gone to 4.2 and back I can vouch for the fact that it is the update that is wrong.It will take me another day to get the 'phone back as I want it and I will then do a full backup. Thanks a bunch Google for, really professional update.

All I want now is for the 'phone to stop nagging me to update, anyone know how to turn off updates ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farith217:
my phone freeze after taking a picture today, so weird it didn't happen before and i need to pull out the battery in order to restart the device because the power button not give a respond.. so sad.. in 4.1.x everything is good.. for the first time on my gnex i need to pull out the battery twice today.. huh!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Murrzeak:
Wow. I was very pissed of with the overall lagginess of 4.2/4.2.1 update, but I thought I might wait and hopefully Google will fix that. But then I noticed just how ofter the stock launcher crashes (leaks from RAM anyways). 5-10 times in an hour after using heavy apps like Chrome, Pocket, Facebook etc I press home button and I get and empty wallpaper. WTF? How is this even possible for a stock app?. And then there are things I've mentioned in other similar 4.2-reated threads like camera animation that lags and music widget that stops responding and keeps playing after headphones are unplugged...Gosh, that's the worst update (for me at least) ever. And now I noticed that recent apps bug. It does exist. Awesome.
