Reboot the phone.

Next question?

Like all above . Restore my data and apps
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
I set up my google account for my contacts and calendar. I use Titanium Backup to uninstall and freeze unneeded apps and to restore my apps and data. Restore SMS. After that I set my screens to my liking and enjoy my new ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mkollek:
+1

Titanium backup and downloading any missing apps from google play> my apps>all ( If I d/l an app, dont like it and uninstall it it still appears under "my apps>all" which is a bit inconvenient since i wont use it or need it. BUT these can be deleted manually so I keep this neat by only having the apps I use here. Makes the restore/update process MUCH easier.)

I also synch google account for contacts/calendar

Once it is all to my liking I performa a FULL clockwork backup. This way the ROM is nice and clean and set up when it is time to restore at a later point.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rishi_storm:
Hi Guys,

I'm planning to buy either the Xperia ION or the Xperia S. I was really looking forward to buy the S but now i'm getting the ION for a price very similar to the S so I'm able to afford it (I'm getting the ION by paying Rs1500 ~ 30$ more) . So these are the main aspects I'm considering between them:

- Better Screen

- Better Performance

- Less known Bugs/Issues

- Customization (flashing roms , hack support etc. )

and that's pretty much it. i like the fact that ION has a bigger screen and SD card support but i dunno why I'm not able to really say 'NO' to the xperia S. Please help me decide.:confused:

Thanks,

Rishi
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lynx_kings:
What I learned between ion and S/SL,

Bigger screen = ion

Performance= same if with S, SL @1.7ghz

Customization= S/SL more development than ion on xda

Less bugs= I have an SL and I dont experience any bug like bravia engine, yellow tint ( already fixed on SL) , unable to unlock Bootloader

For ion, my friend has it, he is having problem with bravia engine not able to work after he unlocked bootloader, also very few custom roms, he said he should have chosen the xperia s/sl, and some ions were unable to unlock the BL.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
If you unlock your bootloader, Bravia Engine might not work. Xperia ion will work with Bravia Engine unless you unlock the bootloader.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lynx_kings:
That's right, guess Im lucky on my SL, B.E. Is still working even my bootloader is unlocked.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rishi_storm:
The bootloader issue is there with the updated ICS rom ? I can somehow control myself to hold of unlocking the bootloader if the stock ICS is good enuf on the ION. I also forgot to ask which phone has the better Battery Life?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lynx_kings:
Its on your own whether you like it or not to unlock. Ion has a bigger batt capacity, 1900 against 1750mah, a few difference. It still depends on how you use the phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
In my daily usage the XS battery lasted longer than my ion but the screen on the ion is much better.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rishi_storm:
Wow an Xperia TL! \nn/ .

Yeah the Xperia ION screen is the only thing making me choose that over an S. So ION is the one to go for then ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
All depends. If you are big into using custom rooms and kernels the ion doesn't have the amount of dev support as the s. They both are great devices though.

Sent from my Sony Xperia™ TL
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ARNOB:
I've been through the same thing a month ago, choosing between ion and s. I chose ion because of its gorgeous-ness and screen size and quality. Xperia ion has a unique screen. The contrast is so great.

About less devs available for ion,don't worry. You have got many mods for this device. The international version of ion is released at a later date than of S and so less people own an ion.

Go for Xperia Ion... You'll love it, like I do!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chirole:
I'm using the Xperia SL and it really is a beauty esp in white. Its size is just perfect for my hands and is pocket-able and I think any bigger than this size would need both my hands to just use a phone and wouldn't fit my pocket anymore.

I use my SL to actually watch The Walking Dead when I'm on the road ^_^ Its screen is just amaziiing.

The ION which I do not own has an SD slot so if you're into saving a lot of media stuff then go for it. I usually delete episodes I've watched even though they're only like consuming 1 GB AHAHAHA *Panic Mode.

The ION has a bigger battery BUT also a bigger screen so its kind of isn't an advantage over the SL.

The SL has an eyelet :> I think bec. its also marketed for Japan as the NX while the ION does not have as it was for the US.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lynx_kings:
+1 for the walking dead on SL! I do watch on my SL too, and stored 3 seasons on my phone :),
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alakay123:
xperia ion

I get a problem with my WCDMA system, if i set WCDMA for my ion operating the battery' ll collapse automaticly even the screen off. But with GSM it's ok. what should i do?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rishi_storm:
Yeah your right , not gonna expect increased battery life just coz of the bigger bateery , however the phones are pretty similar in size with S at 128x64x10.6mm and ION at 133x68x10.8mm and both weigh in at 144g.

Compared to the galaxy S3 the S is just a slightly smaller and the ION is at par so i don't think fitting it on the pocket or using 1 hand should be an issue ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rishi_storm:
Thanks for all the help , just a few days back Xperia T and TX were made available on the Indian ebay site. Will 99% go for one of these phones :highfive:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tt c6:
I wanted to know if the Nexus 10 can be used as a PRIMARY laptop screen?

A wired connection would be preferred, with a bluetooth connection being an alternative.

I cracked the screen on my Lenovo E420 laptop and I wanted to buy a Nexus10 and use it as a replacement for my primary laptop LCD.

Thank you.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
You could look into this: http://www.celiocorp.com/screenslider/
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tt c6:
Thanks for posting, Rally. :)

Unfortunately, the solution you provided requires a Wi-Fi network connection.

I need a wired solution preferably, or bluetooth solution at worst, because I will not always have WiFi access.

From the site you provided:

http://www.celiocorp.com/screenslider_faq

Q: I've installed the PC and Android apps but the two devices can't see each other in the "Find Devices" (PC) or "Connect To" (Android) menus.

A: Make sure that you enable Wi-Fi on your Android device and that the ScreenSlider for Android app is running on your device with the screen turned on,

Q: I've installed the PC and Android apps but the two devices, enabled Wi-Fi on my Android device, but the two devices can't see each other to start a connection.

A: In order for ScreenSlider to function properly both your PC and Android device need to be on the same Local Area Network (LAN and subnet). Your PC can be connected to the network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet but must stay on the same LAN and subnet. This should not be a problem for home use (and for some small businesses too) especially if you only have one wired/wireless router in the home or office connected to your incoming Internet connection (Cable modem, DLS modem, etc.). If your PC and Android device can not see each other on a complicated home network or in an office environment, please ask your IT administrator to see if both devices are on the same LAN and subnet.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid_4_ever:
But Why??

Why would you use the nexus 10 as a replacement screen when you could just simply well.... buy a replacement screen? Unless your intention is to use the nexus as it is intended as well but..... i don'y know i just find it odd to use a 350 dollar tablet as a replacement LCD.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tt c6:
You answered your own question. :D

If I have to buy a new "screen", I might as well get one that can serve 2 purposes:

1. A stand alone Android tablet

2. A replacement LCD for my laptop.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
As nice and geeky as it sounds, it's never going to be practical. At best you could remote desktop into the laptop from the tablet, otherwise, not worth the effort, just get a new screen, or bin the laptop if you can live with just a tablet.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chilimac02:
Maybe check out iDisplay?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tt c6:
Thanks for the suggestion.:o

Unfortunately, it requires all devices be connected to WiFi. :(

I'm looking for a wired or bluetooth connection.

Thanks for the response. :)

Why can't it be practical?

Why can't the Nexus10 work as an external monitor with either a wired or a bluetooth connection?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
No problem,

Well, the device isn't designed to accept video on its usb port, and it probably lacks the bandwidth unless it supports some reverse MHL implementation.

As for Bluetooth, I'm pretty sure all Bluetooth versions lack the bandwidth by some margin to display decent quality video at a decent rate.

Unfortunately just the nature of these things, it wasn't designed for it, so it'll never do a very good job of it.... Remote desktop on the other hand over Wifi will probably work quite nicely.

I can not use BT anymore, it can turn on but it cant connect to other devices....wipe cache and dalvik does not help
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cleanskinned:
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm not sure how long this problem has existed, but with the latest version of YouTube, there is no option to maximize the video while the tablet is attached to the keyboard.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yes, it's a well-known bug in the latest version... Just "Uninstall updates" from Settings->Apps->YouTube and you'll be back to the previous version...
[Asus Transformer TF700] the_game_master:
Oh so that's why it wouldn't do full screen. I'm always docked so I thought Google just simply disabled the feature in the latest Youtube much like they've crippled Youtube on the Desktop with the new update.

Note you still get full screen over HDMI.
[Asus Transformer TF700] winfan:
Also does the load time seem longer after the new update? Mine is constantly buffering. Very annoying
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cleanskinned:
Two other problems with the latest YouTube app:

1) Videos autorotate on screen even with the system's autorotate turned off.

2} It is impossible to read the full text of long video title names.

Are you guys experiencing the same?

If you're really attached to your own gloves, I've seen diy options for "touch-screen gloves." They usually just involve sewing conducting thread (often silver) into a few fingers and making sure it can conduct from your fingers to the screen.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kcnskenn:
These actually look pretty good. I picked up a cheap pair of conductive gloves a few weeks ago but they're rather thin, and with poor circulation they probably won't do much in the long run so I'll definitely have to look into these. Thanks for sharing! :)

This looks pretty cool I was looking to get a pair of gloves like this for the winter. I also like the North Face Etip gloves.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mrfuzzie23:
I'm guessing that means you have the winter style not the urban style right? Do your fingers still move real easily with them on?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Thrillhouse847:
Don't forget about the s-pen. No matter what gloves you use with that it will always work. Obviously, not everyone is keen on the s-pen so this is definitely a cool item.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JMillion:
I have the E-Tip gloves too. They work good with this phone. The size alone helps. As I have used them with the Sensation and One S before that.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] D3_:
It works, but I'm more comfortable using my hands, and I type faster regularly than when using any swype-like keyboard, so these gloves are definitely something I'll be looking into, especially with their rather cheap international shipping rates.

I'm just not sure whether I want the "urban" style or the "winter" style.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Clockwerks77:
Yup I've got the winter ones. Yeah I'm real picky about having full mobility in my hands. No problems with this though.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juohmaru:
Hello there.. I flashed RBJ (v. 8/12) for the first time & i had absolutely no problem.

Then i clean installed the v. 15/12. Everything was smooth & worked flawlessly, except this: (check the attachment plz)

Those blue lock icons at the notification status. That same problem continues existing even when i flashed the latest version.

Apart that everything works as it should. Is it normal? If not, can any1 help me how to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
the latest is from 12/21. go back and flash the latest with the latest rbj gapps(12/22). no need to wipe anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juohmaru:
I have already flashed it, but still the same problem. I've done it the way u mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CharliesTheMan:
You wiped system before flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juohmaru:
Νop, i didn't wipe anything. Should i?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
have you flashed any themes/mods, i noticed the shortcuts in your notification bar? or is that an app? that could be the issue(especially if its a theme/mode you flashed). i dont get that in my notification bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juohmaru:
I've flashed zenyth softkeys & xlouder mod, but the problem existed before flashing them.

The shortcuts exist from power toggle app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
try uninstalling the app and rebooting. or uninstalling the app and reflashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juohmaru:
hmmm, okz. But if i have to reflash the rom, should i consider a clean install?

btw the right steps are these right?: wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash ROM, flash Gapps, flash kernel.

In case i miss a step (factory reset or something) plz let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
if doing a clean install, no need to wipe cache or dalvik as wiping data(factory reset) will take care of it. wipe data, flash rom, flash gapps, then flash the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juohmaru:
Thanks a lot for the help till now !! I'll check the app & mods first. If nothing happens, i'll reflash the rom & let u know about the result. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
cool. let me know then. this is the first time ive seen such a thing in the status bar, usually id blame a flashable theme/mod but you said it was without it also. that app might be the culprit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juohmaru:
Well.. i unistalled the power toggles app, reboot.. nothing changed. So, i clean installed (less reboot way than unistalling each mod separately) the latest RBJ rom,gapps & trinity kernel & everything is as it should be.. :D No weird blue lock icons at notification bar. /success

Thanks again simms22!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
:victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juohmaru:
I suspect zenyth keys was causing the problem. maybe it needed a fresh flash too. I had just flashed the existing update. zip

Edit:just flashed zenyth without any problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syscall:
home button

Just upgraded my GNex to RasbeanJelly 12/21 and trinity alpha11.

Did a full wipe and everything seems to work except the home button.

No way to come back to home screen , I have to tap the "go back" button.

Someone experiencing the same issue?

thanx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
thats an odd one too. go to the main phone settings, build tweaks, navigation bar.. see if you can add a home button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syscall:
home button

No. You can't add a home button from there.

Installing Gapps solved this issue...O_o.

so you didnt flash the gapps the first time?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benj29:
Hi,

Just a question. I'm very interesting about JellyBAM ROM.

It seems to be a very rom for the Note 2 especially for < 320 dpi (as 240/280 dpi).

I'll using an Omega version which i have modified in 240 dpi but camera and other "classic" apk (as calc, dialer etc) does not fit correctly the screen. Jellybeam seems to be the good solution. Can you help me to be sure ?

Other point is about the camera. I've tried to install jellybeam in 1.2 ; 2.0 etc and camera indicates that link between phone and computer does not worked. How can you use the camera with a Cyanogem or Jellybeam ROM (it seems to be the same trouble when you have a cyanogen or Jellybeam rom).

What are the other problems with a cyano or Jellybeam on note 2 ?

Many thanks for your help.

Best wishes for Christmas !
[Nook Touch General] Haloman800:
I'm getting an error "not enough space" when trying to install an app, can anyone please link me or post clear step-by-step instructions for installing an app using ADB on the NST? I can't find any.
[Nook Touch General] Haloman800:
How to install apps from ADB, super simple

Nevermind I figured it out, here's a short guide:

Download Android SDK bundle here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

extract to C:\ drive

Go to C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk

SHIFT Right-click platform-tools folder

From context menu, select "Open command window here"

From there, if you're running the adbkonnect app, enter the IP address or whatever

If you want to install an APK, drag your APK to the platform-tools folder

After you connect to the device, type "adb install [x]" with x being the full name of your app (e.g. amazon.apk)

Let it do it's then then disconnect from ADB, go to your apps and viola! there it is!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ducksFANjason:
Hey guys,

I've been lurking for a little while now and reading up on steps I need to follow to swap my internal and external memory, but I wanted to clarify something to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong. First off, I have a Verizon Note 2 that I rooted using Odin and running "Jelly Beans build.1 VRALJB 4.1.1 by Beanstown106". That's as far as I've gone thus far. I tried just using directory bind to install apps to my external micro sd card, but that program has too many issues to use reliably. Apps were forcing close and the app itself was glitching. I've decided to run a memory swap mod, but from what I've gathered, I'll need to unlock the bootloader and flash a new rom. So here's my plan (please let me know if there's some flaw in it):

1) I'll unlock the bootloader using AdamOutler's guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2043636

2) I figured the next easiest step would be to just flash a custom rom that includes the memory swap in it inherently, like the angelROM TouchWiz debloat build here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2055073&nocache=1

Thanks for any info you folks can provide. This is my first time jumping into advanced Android modifying and I'm nervous about mixing the wrong builds/roms and bricking my phone.

P.S. One last thing: Does anyone know if AFTER having run the mod to swap memory, if you can transfer all the data to a new (larger) memory card and swap them out? I have a 32 GB card but intend to get a 64 GB one in the next few days. Can I flash the angelROM build now and then just swap them when I get the larger card or will that cause issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rebel908:
There shouldn't be any issue as long ss you turn off the phone and then remove the 32GB SD and use your computer to handle the swap. It wont break anything if the phone is on but it'll make it act a smidge wonky imo.

Also: http://db.tt/NtrxYbU8

Its a zip that will switch the sd card positions. This isnt my original work but I use it because it works no questions asked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ducksFANjason:
Thanks so much for the info! I'm still a little nervous about whether or not I'm missing a step between unlocking the bootloader and then jumping into the "memory swap ROM" immediately. Can anyone verify that my plan is correct and whether or not the angelROM w/ memory swap mod is OK on our Verizon Note 2's?
