Plenty of apps come stock. Google Earth. Maps. Currents. Should be bloaty enough to cause some stress. Recording video should stress it nicely too. We need to see if you can reproduce it without any 3rd-party apps first; then if not, slowly add back your apps until you know which one is causing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calinoii:
I would like to watch a movie :-/ Can I add a player like MX video player ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah MX player should be safe. I have it on mine with zero issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calinoii:
But that would need to add my google account :-/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
You can add your google account, just don't let it restore all your apps. Only install MX Player for now to see if you can reproduce your issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calinoii:
I would like not to update to android 4.2,how can I cancel the update? it just downloaded without my decision
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
It shouldn't download or apply unless you tell it to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calinoii:
It works fine. At least now...hope it remains the same...but anyway,if the stock works well and franco's kernel will have the same problem,what can we do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Well if it is working now then my guess is you had some app messing it up. That was the whole point of trying stock.

Try franco now. Remember r300 is the last build for JB4.1. My guess is it works fine now too, further proving it was a rogue app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calinoii:
It's not done yet...I'll wait a day to see if we are right but i can't understand what app was doing all this mess cause i did exactly the same thing excepting the locking and unlocking of the bootloader couple times before
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calinoii:
Hi,unfortunately my problem reappeared,with the same simptoms,cpu frequencies bumping to max like crazy,all my apps are fore closed by me,and nowI'm trying to monitor what app is doing this mess,right now I have the following apps installed:

Subway surfers,Plague inc. ,Fruit ninja (games)

Facebook,Yahoo Messenger,Viber,Unrar Pro,Shazam,Instagram,MX Player, aTorrent.

I didn't flashed anything except the original sd binary...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Obviously if it was working fine for days like you said via PM, and now that you've added your apps back it broke again, then it has to be your apps. Like I've been saying all along, remove all your apps and see if it fixes it, then if so, add them back one at a time..

If that doesn't work then perhaps the rogue app modded some system file, and in that case then you should just retrace all our steps again until you're back with a working system and then add your apps back one at a time from that point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calinoii:
I haven't been installing anything for a day i think when it started freezing again :-/ does this mean anything |
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calinoii:
Can someone help me with a specific issue ? Everytime my phone heats up it starts freezing,many many little freezes every second,even when scrolling or switching between drawer pages or home screens...i set Termal Throttle off and and those are my settings : 384/1536 MHz ,interactive/deadline/westwood hf 1036 / ibf 729,no undervolting. Tried with stock images from google(100% stock) 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 images. Tried milestone 6 kernel,r300 for the 4.1.2 and r348 for the 4.2.1 and a bounch of custom roms like AOKP (both 4.1 and 4.2) CNA,Xylon,Android Revolution,Overdrive,Cataclysm and I still have this issue. I noticed that if I use Faux's kernel I don't have the problem. I really do want to use franco's kernel,so please help me

P.S: I didn't uninstall my apps,just flashed faux's kernel and everything is working like a charm :( why is this happening to me?!?

Look,here are my logcat and a dmsg,hope this helps
[HTC One X] Tomaka:
I have recently updated to JB stock. I noticed a change on the new lock screen keyboard used to enter security code and it's really bad : there are lots of useless buttons like "+", "-", ... the numbers are very small : it's a pain to use. Meanwhile, the SIM unlock screen hasn't changed and still shows big keys.

So here's the question : does any one know how to change that pin code keyboard ? Is it even possible ? (ideally, if it was the same as the sim unlock one, it would be great...)
[HTC One X] RichardFHTC:
I would like to know the answer to this as well. The new pincode screen is useless

If you want to root the phone and get CWM, you can flash Siyah or any other custom kernel with temporary CWM.

If you only want root you can get it with that app by Chainfire that uses Exynos exploit.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universa...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item1c2ab9d685

So I received this today, it was selling for local sellers for $15+ but I found it from this seller for under $3 (inc shipping!), I couldn't justify the outrageous markup, and ordered from HK, came in 2 weeks. It comes with a plastic adhesive disk you can use to mount it to your dashboard. The phone holder part is connected to the mount using a really sturdy ball joint which basically allows quite a bit of freedom when adjusting the position of the phone.

I was hesitant because I've purchased other mounts before that were more expensive, and they either didn't stick as well as I liked, or were too loose, or didn't give me the flexability I wanted. For under $3 I'd figure I'd try it, and I'm glad I did. It is IMO the best mount I've used. It really sticks! On glass I had a hard time taking it off, and using the sticky disc on my dash, it's pretty much stuck there. Very low profile too! You are able to position it so I have the phone coming down over the vents.

It's very stable, I've taken it over speed bumps,and I do not have a soft riding car, and it's stuck, even some of these bumps causes my Garmin GPS mount to fall off the windshield sometimes!

I'll have to take some pictures, probably take some tomorrow and post them up.

[edit]Pictures are up

They are not the best pictures, it's really early in the morning here, taken from my garage, in my car, from the driver's seat using an DSLR and a large flash...very cumbersome...I adjusted the settings to have the flash bounce off everything as minimal as possible.

I positioned the mount so where the phone sits is in front of vents for VERY easy access to the phone, (putting it on the windshield makes it too far to use), useful for navigating, or passenger music selection. The holder (where the phone sits) can be rotated 360 degrees, so I could have the phone in portrait instead of landscape. To be able to place the phone in front of the vents was the major reason for buying this mount, it's where I want my phone to be. Oh and it doesn't block the vents (at least that much) as you can still position them, potentially an issue for passengers in the rear though...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 00mred00:
I wonder if they have improved it. my experience with this mount in the past was it wouldn't hold the weigjt of the phone.

glad to know it's working!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Daemos:
Without the adhesive disk, the mount won't really hold to the dashboard or a wooden desk with the note 2...but will attach to glass and hold and hold and hold. It holds on to the adhesive disk the same as it holds onto glass.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] tot31:
thank you for sharing..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] one80oneday:
Tried one of these (DIFFERENT SUCTION CUP TYPE CAR MOUNT) with my N7 and a few seconds later BAM! it hit the floor really hard. Not gonna try this again especially with my GN2!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Daemos:
I don't think this mount can even hold the size of the N7..pretty much the width of the Note 2 is the largest you can go with this mount...not even sure how you got a nexus 7 on it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] alterstill:
Did he not mean Nokia N7?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] one80oneday:
I meant my Nike N7 Zoom KD IV, duh

Anyway alls I'm saying is that I don't trust these type of mounts.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Daemos:
Lol @ nikes.

I didn't like suction cup mounts either (esp because the OEM garmin one I have falls off regularly...and I've tried others that have failed as well...and I don't like the vent ones because 1) they don't like my vents 2) they prevent the vent from being adjusted...this is the only one I've used that really works (YMMV) but for under $3 it's not much of a gamble.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nerys71:
would like to see pictures of this with note ii it does NOT look very secure.

it is positive hold or positive release? how much wider can it go (picture with note two and arms spread wide as possible? (ie can I put note ii in a case ?)

right now I am using a igrip (you can get them oem for $13) the nice german made ones.

its positive release (bad) but it holds nicely and the note ii in case is so wide it BECOMES a positive hold since you have to force the note ii into it to make it fit :) but the result is its VERY secure and I love the arm and mount.

Here is the igrip in the minivan

would love to see some pics of your note II in this holder you linked too !
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
Its $2.85 US. He isnt reviewing a $30 mount. If you dont like it or, dont trust it, move on.

IMO less than $3 isnt much of a gamble. If you own a Note 2 you shouldnt be sweating $3. If you are, well getting a note 2 was a much worse financial decision than buying a $3 car mount.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Daemos:
Not sure what you mean about positive hold or positive release...but it's a spring loaded clamp and you have to pull on it to fit the note 2 in, and it clamps on the note 2, I have a TPU case (S-curve, which is another under $3 you can find on ebay, and IMO it's the best plain TPU case i've used as well, and I've spent lots of money on cases in the past, it's got good grip, more rigid than other TPU cases, and is soft enough to absorb shocks...back on topic)

I've used plenty of expensive mounts in the past, and I live in Australia a country where stores have very poor return policies :( and seriously I love this mount the most because of the ways you can position it, but I only have it in one position because that's where actually want it.

Pictures are in the first post as attachments
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nerys71:
Dakota. OFF the caffeine. Now go sit in the corner dill the DT's wear off and come back when your normal again :) and its not about the price its about the 3 weeks shipping time to "find out" when a couple questions can possibly save me 3 weeks waiting :)

Daemos. I am not sure HOW I missed that picture. VERY slick and low profile looking. Does it open any wider? ie as wide as it goes how much gap is their (I have a pretty thick case around my note II)

how does it hold up in portrait ?

positive hold is where you have to force the arms apart and it clamps down naturally on the phone IE its always trying to "squeeze" the phone.

positive release is like the one in my picture. you press a button and it snaps open you then compress the arms onto your phone. its always trying to OPEN the arms (positive release) an gears inside "lock" it onto your phone.

when you BUMP a positive hold nothing happens most times. if you bump a positive release enough to "trip" the mechanism or jump gears it "releases" your phone since its always trying to OPEN and well there goes your $650 Note II :)

thats the difference between positive hold and positive release. if by pull on it that means you have to OPEN the arms to get the phone in (ie its trying to close on you) thats GOOD that is positive hold.

Might have to order me a couple of these to play with I REALLY love how "low profile" it is. might be a good camera mount too !!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Daemos:
Oh I just posted the pictures! Lol! You didn't miss anything :)

And yes it is Positive hold, very strong hold.

I will test the mount more thoroughly later and report back.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gingerprince:
Looks good, and at least I know it will fit nicely in my Subaru ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nerys71:
ahh good thought I was going whacky there :)

good, strong hold is very good :) be sure to see how much more "room" it has for something bigger (if thats not already the max) ie can it go half inch biggger etc..

the problem with expensive mounts is they are actually $3 mounts designed well with good quality control.

SO if you can find the cheap mount with the same good design ..... :)

problem with my igrip I pictures is that you have to FORCE the note II into the mount with case. with plastic style cases not an issue but lately I am loving the wood bamboo cases I got. the igrip scratches them (them arm wings have plastic LIPS that you have to "get past" to put it in and take it out. this is good since that keeps the phone from falling out forward. but since I am slightly over what its designed to hold these lips TOUCH the case in insertion and remove with some force :) ie scratching the wood.

so I am looking for alternatives :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Shady Gambino:
This looks like a Chinese knockoff of an iOttie mount:

If you feel comfortable buying Chinese counterfeit stuff, then go ahead. Just letting people know.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] livingaboard:
The bad thing about the vent mounts is that, depending on the design, the phone usually blocks airflow to the driver or passenger and if the heat is on this heats up the phone generally depending on whether or not the vent can be completely shut off.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Daemos:
I'm 100% sure it's not a iottie design, as I've seen this exact same mount sold under different brand names (BBM in South Korea). There are times (many times esp for low cost items) where Chinese factories design the mounts/products, pitch them to different clients, who then apply their own branding for their specific market/region.

So...in the end they pay even less than what you'd pay on ebay...but charge you way more. So if you are happy getting ripped off by companies who charge lots of money for very little innovation...go for it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Daemos:
To answer questions:

The width of the note 2 + my case seems to be the mounts physical limit for opening.

In portrait it holds just as good as landscape.

However, I have found if you use the mount as shown in the iottie, it seems firm, but not as stable as the position I have, but I don't plan to use it that way as the other way works better for me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nerys71:
cool. I think I will order a few anyway. there are other phones much smaller than the note ii I want to use it for and it might work with the bamboo case :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sodomanaz:
I'm using a different brand of this exact mount. I used the adhesive to mount it to my dash and all is secure. Only downside I can see is that people with the flip case won't like the way it grips the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ksnexusone:
MY FELLOW SUBBY OWNER. I could tell thqt right away in those pics. except your in a left hand lane country so everything in flipped around in your car. I to have that same car mount better never put it in cause i thought it wouldnt work.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nerys71:
for the flip cover just fold the cover over the BACK before putting it in the mount. Problem solved. unless the cover is larger than the phone they that might prove to be an issue.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Amowagou:
I had one of these mount. I found the spring loaded clamps were very tight and made it difficult to take the phone in/out of the mount. Then again, if it is not tight enough, the phone may fall off.

IMHO, this is not a good mount for daily use, it is excellent for travel though because it is very small and easy to carry.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Daemos:
Not sure why it's not good for daily use? I have no issues getting the phone in and out either...the force of the spring is higher than I expected...but I can't imagine too many people having difficulty with it.

I've made it even better, I placed an NFC tag on the place where the phone sits, so it turns on bluetooth, GPS, and poweramp, as well it disables the lockscreen and sets the time out to 10 min. Then there is another NFC tag on the mount where it mounts to the dash, that I tap when I leave the car, and reverts everything back to normal :)

Still looking for a GPS app that can replace my garmin (which has free lifetime map updates),
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sodomanaz:
My concern with a flip case and the mount is how tight the case is and the way to pull it out will put instant wear on it and some ugly markings.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nerys71:
the higher the force the better. I want this more now :) just got to wait for cash so I can order a few.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Shady Gambino:
Doesn't need to be an iOttie in-house design to be a knockoff. The iOttie mount is indeed manufactured in S. Korea.

You are neglecting, however, costs that go into the markup of these mounts, like tooling costs and patent issues, which are not inconsiderable, in addition to the actual cost of a production run, shipping, duty, marketing and packaging. That stuff adds up. A tool alone, made in China mind you, is a bare minimum $10k. You can be down $20k without having sold a unit..

Anyway, the iOttie is a good mount. Not sure about this knockoff.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] flaring afro:
My concern with this is what happens if you try to take it off after a long time.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Daemos:
So it's now been heat tested!

There have been several days where i've left my car outside in the sun above +45C temps (that's 113F for you in the USA) and upon getting into the car mounted my phone, and drove and it held solidly.

No issues.

Pretty good for under $3
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ilmostro7:
Hello,

I see a lot of different products mentioned/referred to in these threads; I'm wondering if it might make sense to, perhaps, create a seperate forum for Ideapad tablets, since the Thinkpad tablets have different features, functionalities and even Operating Systems than most, if not all, Ideapads. I'm not sure how that would be accomplished, since I'm fairly new to this community, but I do see an increase of interest in the Ideapad android rooting/development, etc. Does anyone have any information, opinions, or otherwise any input about this? It'd be much appreciated. Thank you.

I also agree. I have a K1 Ideapad y sometimes I have found myself reading threads that belong to the thinkpad. Sometimes this can be confusing, and I think it might lead to someone bricking their ideapad downloading the wrong software.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] rickinoz:
This has been raised before and no clear consensus was reached.

The people to approach are the mods (see the top of the forum) who can forward such requests.

It's unlikely they'll fork this forum or create a separate Ideapad forum since this one gets relatively little activity (by comparison to, say, the HD2 or G-Note fora). A request to this effect was made a couple of months back and no change occurred.

A reasonable compromise is to clearly mark each topic with the device type to avoid confusion. A couple of us have tried to get this going but with little success.

Being pig-headed about it, this is the Thinkpad tablet forum and not a generic Lenovo tablet forum, but personally I don't have an issue with it being shared.

THE IDEA

Hi everybody. I know this is NOT te proper place to open this thread, but since this is the most read subforum, I am sorry but I will open it here to let everyody see it.

As u should now if you see the forum at least once a week, Zackconsole is a great developer. Although he doesn't have any device he has built a stable CM10.1 version, a very good ROM (C.A.M.P.S) and an alpha of a Sense 4.0 ROM. He has done that for FREE and I think that is amazing.

I was in i9003 forum. Samsung Galaxy SL is a good device, but it is a second brand device. It has a big RAM lack, a 1GHz processor, a bad Camera chip and other awful stuff. We donated to fuss132, who made the first MIUI and CM7 build for our device, We donated to DoomLoRD, and he built a great DoomKernel for us. We donated to dhiru, who built a very very stable CM10.1, and that is something that was impossible to us....

LETS BUY HIM AN ARC

It doesn't have to be an arc s. It doesn't have to be a first hand one, but it should be better lol!

It is not difficult, I promise. Everybody donates as much as he/she can: 2€, 3$, 1000€ lol....

What do u think? I am sure he will make big things with this device... Any help?
[Xperia Arc General] luiseteyo:

[Xperia Arc General] SammiSaysHello:
how judgemental of you... :eek:
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
What is sad is that you're expecting to be flooded by donations just one day after you created this thread. And also, [REQUEST] addition in this thread title, is not helping factor.

Like everyone here is waiting for another dev to be donated, just based on your promising words.

Believe me, there are already enough devs in arc/S subforums being donated, so another one is not what everyone is craving for.

I'm not saying that Zackonsole is not great developer, or that he's not worth donation.

I'm just saying that you're naive if you thought that this thread will be invaded by people willing to donate one more developer.
[Xperia Arc General] luiseteyo:
Okay then. Zackconsole is a great developer and could do great things, but if people is sad of donating, ok, perfect. Mod, close this thread please. I am sorry of being generous then.
[Xperia Arc General] SammiSaysHello:
