I could not believe this, people

is this the way you guys will answer the questions. this doesnt happen to other threads even the STUPIDEST question delivered by someone... the best treatment i ever had in a thread...

1. Developing / updates for BEATS AUDIO on our thread

2. Unbricking/Resurrecting SGSII

3. ROOTING LT26W

4.ROOTING Desire C.

5. Downloading files for PC upgrades

6. Repairing Dead UNITS/PHONES

7. Searching thread would take a long time

8. Not all threads are useful and sometimes got wrong instruction.

9. Have read the thread of DOOMLORD before ever checking and posting this. just to make sure i am not gonna mess it up like the Samsung Vibrant and HTC G1 i handled before,.

10. I want some of you to know that im really not familiar/a NOOB to XPERIA units/phones since i highly prefer to use SAMSUNG PHONES. i am taking precautions, cause it is better to be safe than sorry.

I asked the stupidest question in SGS and T-Vibrant and it was answered by one of the senior member with full instructions and tips....

Thank you people.

I just got a note 2 and now toying around with ideas on how to protect it a bit.

Screen protector im still debating on.

The flip cover is one of the things I picked up but there are two things that bother me with it that might be the ultimate deal breaker so i figured ill ask here.

1. What's your technique on snapping pictures since obviously you can't just fold it back, seems like taking a pic with one hand is risky anyway due to the size of the phone.

2. Does the cover flatten out over time when flipped to the back? What I mean is if you just put it on and flip it back, it's raised a bit on the back left side
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] tot31:
I'm using voice command to snap. Just say smile or cheese and it will snap.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gahsan:
I actually find flip covers to be just as comfortable as non-flip cover cases, if not better.

View attachment 1585259

Here, I have my thumb pushing aginst my index finger behind the cover. I'm also leveraging my thumb againt the side of the hard inner case and this feels very secure to me. Of course, this requires the second hand to push the shutter button meaning this is a two handed operation, but I think it's for the better.

As for the flatness of the flip cover, I'm assuming you mean something like this?

View attachment 1585271

As you can see, the cover part can be pretty flat without much trouble, at least for the Spigen Hardbook case. I do have another flip case (Nilkin) but that one does not.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Coderedpl:
Makes sense. Your case is a bit different though than the oem samsung
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Gahh Its Lee:
I bought two of these a few hours ago. After an hour or two its already sitting flat on the back and completely shutting (when I firsy put it on it wouldnt sit closed) as far as pictures go I can very easily take them with only my right hand although I csn hold it in my left with the case on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] theleland:
I hesitate to ask since other topics have adressed what seem to be related issues, so I anticipate being told to Google it, but none of the threads I've found have given solutions so I'm posting ...

I've used directory bind to relocate files to my ext sd 64 gb. I don't want to just swap my ext and int. It seems that some files, including those from Google Music cache and camscanner are still being counted against me in the system.

It's to the point that the total amount of space supposedly used exceeds the capacity of the drive. I'm attaching photos of what I'm directory binding and the storage report.

Can anyone please clue me in?
[HTC Droid DNA] Clamhost:
Hello ya'll for starters I was a Android user for 2 years before I switched to iOS 2 months ago. Why? Well I had to pull the battery on my S3 everyday for 4 weeks. I never rooted the phone or used ROMs or anything like that. I had purchased it new, and I was very angry. You can say the S3 left a bad taste in my mouth with Android. So I went for a 64GB iPhone 5 on Verizon, and I've been kinda bored with it. In fact reception on it is just as bad as my S3 was. I heard the DNA is better since it has a quad core processor, and that HTC phones have great cellular radios. Can someone help guide me the right way? I don't know if the DNA is for me, and unfortunately I cannot go in store and try one out.

I've been looking at the Note 2, HTC/Droid DNA and keeping my iPhone 5. I really like the customization of Android, but again that damn S3 left me with a really bad taste. So when people claim the S3 is better due to removable battery, and Micro SD storage I worry that I'm going to have the pull the battery out daily and have poor cellular reception. When I had my S3 I had poor reception even with Verizon! It was as bad as the Galaxy Nexus!

So what do you guys think I should do? I'll most likely be listing my iPhone 5 tonight.

Thank you,

Thomas
[HTC Droid DNA] earthrocker:
stinks that you had S3 problems..mine was through hell and still worked perfectly fine.

i've got a DNA now as well, though, and i love it! i don't mind the 16 gigs, as i'm starting to use the cloud more..however, i still have unlimited data.
[HTC Droid DNA] Clamhost:
So would you recommend the DNA to me?
[HTC Droid DNA] earthrocker:
yeah man. the radios/antenna are great in HTC phones; this is my 3rd HTC and they all rock. call quality is great, too..people say it sounds like i'm calling from a landline.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
I've had nothing but good reports of the DNA from people who usually give sort of negative feedback, so o was pleasantly surprised. I like HTC's build quality and I really like the sense interface. Your post grabbed my attention as I carry both an iPhone and a Rezound currently. My girlfriend is into the Android community with me, is a member of the Team BAMF forums, and has been learning to decompile and theme APK's. But her daily driver has been an iPhone because she still uses her phone for a phone and just wants it to work.

I have been hesitant to take her iPhone even when she asked for Android because I didn't want her to be disappointed and turn against android.

The DNA is the first phone I like well enough to let her take the leap and try an Android phone. Battery life is amazing, and its got a beautiful display and the nice sense interface that she's already fallen in love with.

I bought an iPhone 5 for our daughter for Christmas, and while it's really nice and I'm not anti apple, it just doesn't wow me or make me jealous that I only have a 4S.

I think trying the DNA is a good decision, the only negative I've seen from people giving me feedback is some of their apps which they are addicted too (games) hadn't been updated to run well on the 1080p resolution. But that was back when only test phones were out, I don't know if it's still an issue as I'm not a big gamer especially with my phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] holla420:
Long as the battery and 16gb doesn't bother u then yes besides that this phone is amazing. It's all that and a bag of skittles :thumbup:
[HTC Droid DNA] Clamhost:
Thank you everyone for all your replies! I'll go ahead and list the iPhone 5 and order my Droid DNA! Worst case scenario, I return the DNA for something else! Thanks everyone!
[HTC Droid DNA] vdChild:
I also had the s3 great device except it's reception. Was offered this as an alternative replacement and devotion is light years ahead of it. You should be happy!
[HTC Droid DNA] dcdgoth:
Not for me. Battery doesn't last long and no external memory slot. ...
[HTC Droid DNA] M0rtiferrimus:
Since this is my first smartphone and I only got it a little while ago, I'm no authority on reception and how antennae compare, but my DNA gets moderate reception in most places, although it's pretty low at home. Maybe all the lead paint that's still in my house has something to do with it.

As a phone and a computing device, though, it's great. The large screen is nice, and when you combine that with a 1.5 GHz processor (pretty good, for a phone) and 2 gigs of RAM, you have an awesome piece of hardware.

One complaint I've seen in most reviews on it is about the battery life. I guess if you only watch movies and play games on it, the battery will drain in a few hours, but as for me I get 1-2 days of battery on a charge.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
I'm really not sure why people are complaining about battery life on this phone. It gets about the dame brttery life as the s3. The only phones with better battery life are the note 2 and the razr maxx.
[HTC Droid DNA] Thrillhouse847:
I find this pretty perplexing as well. I suspect most people making such claims never had the phone or had it very poorly set-up causing unusually poor battery life.

I am currently making changes in clock.smali and am finding a strange occurance. Some of my code when toggled on or off reacts as soon as i check or uncheck the box. However, there are some that do not and it requires me to tap a different option for the initial code to react. The funny thing is that this occurs in the same method.

Long question short........is there a method i can invoke that will force the changes i am making to activate? Or is there another way I can structure my code to activate as soon as its clicked?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUARDIANBD:
Hello

im first S3 user and past about 56 smartphones in 4 years (yeah that much) most of them were Camera-phones.

after my S1/S2/ IPHONE 4S/Xperia S Camera-phones i'v noticed something really annoying in the Camera department

of the S3..:silly:

when i doing the "touch to focus" the light in the area not changing.

for example : if i shooting a landscape and i focus the ground it stay's dark until I'm moving the camera away to the ground.

also when shooting at dawn/sunrise until i move the camera completely from the light source i cant take a decent photo

because it makes it too dark and focusing in other area in the scene does not help.

Like the exposure not changing at all..

took my GF SAMSUNG S2 and a HTC ONE X and guess what? i can focus in verity of areas without any problem

and take great shots in sunny scenes,took an iPhone 4S and also without any problems. :eek:

also used HDR but it does not seems to work ether

what can cause the problem? :confused:

i described as much as i can..hope that you can figure "what the heck that guy want from us" :p

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sanjosanjo:
Thanks for the tutorial. I've used XDA for a long time and loaded lots of custom ROM's, but I'm finding this Nook Tablet situation ridiculously complicated. I'm having trouble understand your step number 8.

"Copy to the boot partition of the SD card and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip..." doesn't make grammatical sense. Is there a typo here?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
I just looked at it and it appears you are failing to read it. There are clear and concise instructions as provided by Succulent and cut and pasted by digimax.

It clearly says to copy the ROM and the gapps.

There were indeed typos in the cited paragraph (thanks to sanjosanjo for spotting them), and I already fixed them.

Did you reword them from succulents site because those are what I used when I did my SD card and I had zero issues following them.

Sent from my CM 10 SD nook tablet. Thanks devs.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LucasMN:
On Step 8, did you mean to copy the cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip to the boot partition instead of the cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd.zip because in step 12 you say to install cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip? I've followed your steps for replacing the files, but did not put the sd_hd.zip on the SD card, only the normal acclaim.zip.

I'm going to try it now and see what happens.

Edit: says installation aborted. This was when trying to install the cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip that has had the files replaced from the sd_hd.zip
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Yes (I corrected it).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I had neglected to indicate in step #3 that the partition type of /system and /data is (Primary, Ext4).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zeiss74:
thanks for this great thread digixmax. what is the difference between your method and just directly writing succulent's IMG file to a card?

his post looks like it was updated 12/25, although perhaps the image file is from 12/08. is yours updated since then?

http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
First off, just to be clear: I did not invent this process, rather my post is intended to be a streamlined digest of Succulent's blogs on how-to build CM SDcard -- including in particular the blog http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/. This process gives you the maximum flexibility at the outset in sizing the partitions, creating extra partitions, etc. This process has also worked for some of the other CM10 builds that are available on XDA such as ChrisHoffman's and Hashcode's builds, as well as the Paranoid Android build posted on Succulent's blog.

Succulent's pre-made SD card image is the simplest/quickest way to create a bootable SDcard of his CM10 builds: you just download and write the image to SDcard and it's ready to go. It's possible to adjust the partition sizes after the image is written to the card but with some risks of messing up the partition table which could make the SDcard not bootable. There have also been reports that NTs running these images appear to have same identical MAC address, thus any two of these NTs will not be able to get on the same LAN (e.g., in the same household WiFi LAN) at the same time.

Re: Succulent's v12/25: I just flashed it (internally on emmc) today and it works great, but he has not posted cm-10-xxxxxxxx-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd.zip for it so you'll have to wait a bit if you want to build the image from scratch.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zeiss74:
thanks!

also, dumb question but if you "remove SD card" in step 14, how is "CM10 on SD ready for use" in step 15? do you reinsert it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Mistake on my part, leave the card in the NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zeiss74:
ok, worked great (the second time). the first time i used 7zip to change the zip files, but then i read a readme.txt from succulent that said to only use drag and drop with winzip/winrar to change the zip files, so i downloaded winrar and it worked. the first time i got the "installation aborted" error.

thanks again, i'm super excited to try CM10. been wanting to update this NT for some time now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
Just an FYI it isn't the pre-made image file that causes the repeating MAC Address it is something in the CM 10 build. I have 2 NT 16's running different build dates of CM 10 SD and both have identical MAC Addresses. Somewhere in the build of CM 10 it appears that it is taking the MAC Address from a developer unit and applying it to everyones NT. Or so it would appear.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
My NT has the same MAC address regardless of whether it's running stock, running CM10 internally or off SD card.

I think there is something wrong with your build images or possibly with your NTs (you can look up the NTs' MAC addresses in /rom/devconf/MACAddress on their emmc).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
So I have 2 broken NT's that despite the stock os showing the correct MAC Addresses and even the Mac config files showing the correct to the individual NT Mac address, when I load CM 10 despite not doing anything to change the configuration files other than updater-script, I broke it? Really?

And on top of that the pre-made images are known to have the same Mac address. Though the exact same files, sans imager program, couldn't possibly be problematic?

Somehow I doubt your stock os, if your using the succulent build for cm10, has the same Mac address.

Does your MAC end in 9f:fd ?

Sent from my CM 10 SD nook tablet. Thanks devs.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
If your two NTs running stock OS still show two distinct MAC addresses then I don't think you have broken the NT per-se. Most likely you simply didn't properly build one or both of CM10 SDcard images. Your problem is the type Succulent often refers to as "residue" problems.

It is the same MAC address, but believe whatever you want.

Nope.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
Then im a ****ing idiot and you are a god. Shrug. I am an not adverse to admitting when I am wrong, however in this situation I don't believe I am. Apparently my 2 NT's are completely special. Oh wait, anyone running the Image files have the same issues. There is nothing shared between the two NT's. SD cards arent shared. Not a single file is shared. Not even the build date of the CM 10 files is shared. So again I say, there is a problem with the SD version of CM 10 not reading the correct MAC. How you got lucky with your mac reading correctly from SD and EMMC I don't know, especially considering anyone else that has multiple NT's in the same house suffers the same issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zeiss74:
i have two followup questions to help me better understand this setup.

1. what are the different partitions on the card? and why wouldn't we make the boot partition as large as can be? i went to back up my NT apps (about 100) to bring them to my CM10 card, and they are 800MB, and the only partition i can copy them to from my PC is boot. so i'm out of luck with 500MB (250 MB free). also, since boot is the only partition i can access from my PC, it means that's where all my videos and music will have to be copied. so it seems like i should make boot 4+ GB. i don't own any large apps (like those 2 GB racing games) so i would guess my other partitions don't need to be huge. am i missing anything? with the tablet up and running but few apps, the 0.5GB boot partition is about 50% full, the 0.5 GB system partition (no longer labeled such) is 64% full, while 2GB data and 4.5GB sdcard are 5% and 0% used (per minitool)

2. if this doesn't change the stock NT, then what are steps 10 and 11 doing? where are they installing something? from the SD card to the SD card, maybe in another partition? do i need to keep those zip files on the boot partition once they are installed?

thanks for any assistance to help my understanding.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Your problem and its solution can be found near the top of Succulent's blog http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/:

No WiFi? Rename /etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin.orig > wl1271-nvs.bin

Wrong MAC address? This is a residue problem (dirty installation). Just delete wl1271-nvs.bin and reboot.​
