Hi guys, I was wondering if rubber tip or plastic tip are giving us any different and advantage over some application.

Myself like the rubber tips as it gives a comfortable writing over on naked screen.

:o
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] abmicyau:
Rubber tips are more comfortable to use on a naked screen. But one thing I've noticed is that rubber tips leave a mark on matte screen protectors that you have to wipe off, whereas the plastic ones don't. Using the plastic tip on a naked screen feels like I'm going to scratch it, lol.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] samir_a:
If you are an artist then rubber tip if not then plastic tip because it gives lot less friction specially if you have a screen protector but it less accurate compared to rubber as rubber will always grip the surface where as plastic will glide over the surface
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] aletheus:
Rubber also cuts down on noise when screencast or audio recording.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] hoss_n2:
Rubber tips if no screen protector, plastic with screen protector because plastics tips may scratch the screen as reported on both note 1 and 2 forums
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] iRock48:
Which is what? Iwhite=plastic?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] abmicyau:
The plastic one feels like plastic, lol. It's all white.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Since I don't know if this is related to QA or to App/Theme section i'll just ask here my "2" questions:

1) Which app is better for SMS? WhatsApp or Viber? People say sometimes Viber takes alot of time to receive messages, but I never felt this problem.

1.1) Which of them use the less data?

1.2) Which of them is actually faster? Performance, system resources needed, battery life etc?

1.3) Any button on WhatApp or any way to completly close it like on Viber?

2) Since the last version of Viber where its added a "+" sign near Text field to send Icons, emotes etc, I can't receive that "pop-up message" style. Seems broken. Any of you have this problem aswell? If so how to silve it?

EDIT: Solved 2) by reseting the settings on Viber,

Thanks!!

So call it bad luck but after having the tablet for a week, and just unlocking it yesterday, yesterday night I look and see a horizontal line if dead pixels about 2/3 down my screen.... Anyone else experience thisv and somehow fix it without RMA?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arcsum68:
Just got the phone yesterday, been using a Galaxy Nexus for almost a year now. Rooted, ROM'ed and unlocked everything and running LiquidSmooth since AOKP has camera issues.

Things are very different between the 2 phones, but one thing that concerns me is whenever I make a backup it creates a folder in the CWM/backup folder called somthing like 1970-06-08.etc thats only about 20mb. I have tried to save it to the internal and external sd cards and its the same thing.

Also, ROM manager does not recognize that CWM is even installed.

Is this Normal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BigErnM:
You should have another folder called blobs which will have thousands of files in it. That is where the rest of the data is. It is supposed to be better for incremental backups. You can also switch the default backup type to tar and then you will just have the one folder with the large files in it. ROM manager should recognize that CWM is installed. At least it does for me on TW and TW JB roms. You could use rom manager to reflash CWM to the latest version and see if it recognizes it then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arcsum68:
Thanks, was not sure if I should update it via ROM manager due to being JB build and things have changed. I went ahead and did it and it looks like its fine and recognizing now. Looks like the date issue is a known bug on this phone, but I wanted to be able to go in and rename the backups.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nycdave:
okay so I have been hearing a lot about kernels lately and while I am no noob (some might disagree with this sort of question) but I would like a rock solid definition of what a KERNEL is. I understand them to be the essential backbone files of a rom. What prompted the question is that i have been reading a lot about battery life and how different kernels affect battery life etc. so how is it that the kernel actually works with the rom?

thanks so much
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Heres a good link to learn about kernels

Kernel info
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Omnicide:
The best way i seen it put was, think of the kernel as the engine and the rom as the body of the car. The body of the car (rom) just makes the car look nice and user friendly. Now when we talk about the engine (kernel) simply put red lining the engine will get you to go fast but burn gas. Keeping the rev down low will make you run slower but saving lots of gas. Thats just one way to look at it, rpms being the cpu anyways.

Dont know if that helps you, thats just hoe i first understood it

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nolimit966:
Hi, im from the UK and have purchased a s3 mt6577 twin sim phone (galaxy s3 clone). It states that its running android 4.1.1 and i have now got root access.

Does anyone know which roms would be compatible with this handset? Would i be able to Flash with ANY 4.1.2 stock rom? One of my main problems is that i cannot download UK apps from the Appstore. Many of them say "This app is not available to your country" I have tried the MarketEnabler and this does not work so i decided i will just flash a new rom but it needs to be compatible with it being twin/dual sim and the Uk play store.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thank you :)

Go to settings -> about device -> status -> device status. If it says modified than ota will do what you describe. If normal you have some thing weird going on.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
If your signature is correct then the ota is not for you. Your signature says that you already have the latest T889UVALK8 version with Perseus 3.0.36 - Alpha 29. You can't use Perseus and ota stock together. You have to choose between the two. Since you are using Perseus and like it then stick with that.

Perseus most likely changed your Status to "Modified" which is the reason for your ota hanging. So stay with Perseus.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Earnie0815:
Hi! i have a big problem! A friend tried to flash something on his x10mini and i think he bricked it and so i will try to bring it back to life! But its harder than i thought! The bootloader is unlocked! The device doesnt boot up after pressing the power button, there is only a short vibration and the screen stays black! I think, charging the phone with the charger doesnt work too, because no led lights up!

So i have tried to flash the stock firmware via flashtool! When i connect the phone to my pc with usb, the green led lights up and it is shown as a connected device in flashtool! But after 15 seconds the connection is interrupted for about 2 seconds! And this happens over and over again, so flashing something is not possible!

My next attempt was the repair function from Sony PC Companion! After pressing the power button + back button the software tells me, that there is no firmware available for the x10mini (and yes, i am in the repair mode )! But afterwards the green led stays on without this rebooting problem after 15 seconds, but this doesnt help me...

Is there anything else i can do? Or is it possible to solve this rebooting problem during the flash-mode!

Every help is appreciated! Thanks!

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] evonc:
Uninstall the Skype app from the play store and install this custom version of Skype by theos0o. I found it a while back and have been using it since v12 as it features a lot of extra tweaks and fixes. It will solve your issue with landscape/portrait mode.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35991266&postcount=2633

edit*

For v18, you must login once, then go into advanced options, scroll all the way down, enable rotation. On the first restart, skype will fc but after that, skype will work normally.

edit 2*

Linked v18.1 - if you're on v18 update via advanced settings menu or manually.

Today's Skype released version 3.1.0.6458 which is supposed to support portrait mode, but when I install it on my N7 it only displays in landscape mode and won't rotate to portrait mode. I looked for settings within the app, but could not find any. Anyone else tried this new release on their N7?

EDIT: Never mind... Once a video call is established rotation mode to portrait is unlocked.

This is not true in my case. When a video call is established, yes, it can start going in portrait mode, but it is not unlocked. After I end the video call, it goes back to landscape only.

That's hydracore 7 can't really link things using xda app its a pain in the ass.

Anyway, find the kernel you want, if its a Cwm flashable one then place on your sd card, reboot recovery and flash it (install zip from sd, choose zip from sd)

If it's odin version (.tar) then load it into pda section of odin and reboot into download and hit start.

Same applies with roms, just load em on your sd and flash in recovery, read the OP for detailed step by step install instructions, some require wipes of /preload and /system

[General Questions and Answers] GHOSTHOUND:
Well, I was at school getting annoyed with my phone trying to download app updates automatically while I was trying to look something up with low service. Due to this I decided it would be fine to just disable Download Manager and re-enable it after school when I got home. Well, when I went to go get on gapps for a new game, it wouldn't run. Remembered that I disabled my Download manager and went to re-enable it when I noticed it was no longer in my apps list on my phone! It will show up in Titanium Backup and Gemini App Manager but not in my built in app manager! This means I can't re-enable my Download Manager and gapps won't open anymore :crying:.
