[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Not a huge fan of the "why have a smartphone if you aren't going to sync blah blah" argument. It's my phone and I am really not bothered by manual syncing. Facebook wants to sync? That's weird because unless I intend to use the app when I turn on the screen why bother letting it poll to sync? Same with Twitter or other syncing apps such as RSS. If I'm not going to use it then it can wait until I am to sync. Running an app that shuts off data when the screen is off does no harm to anyone, so I fail to understand why everyone is so against it. If a user wants to shut off data when the screen is off, who gives a ****? It's their phone. The argument that "why have extra services running to save battery?" Is also not the greatest because the battery an app like AutoData or similar data toggling apps use is miniscule compared to how much battery syncing over 3G uses.

TL;DR let people do what they want with their phone. After all, it is theirs.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] exist2inspire:
how do i add apps to xperia u startup? i have to keep enabling screen filter after each reboot. adding the apk to /system/app n changing permission to rw-r-r did not help.

and how do we tweak screen auto-rotate sensitivity? i want screen to auto-rotate after 50-60 degrees of turning the phone, currently it auto-rotates even if i tilt my xperia u a bit.

also, can we increase 'speed' of gyroscope? like to help in temple run type games so as soon as we tilt the phone, the game or app responds instantly...?

and how do we change system partition to ext4 for faster speed? there is a tweak for ext4 without journalism for high I/O but i dont know how to format my xperia u to ext4 or to check if it already is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wmaudio:
When someone sends me an image over MMS, if I tap it to view it full screen, it is still using only half the screen and has player controls at the bottom. It appears to have a 5-second play time. I cannot zoom or view the picture in the Gallery app or any other photo-viewing app, and I can't zoom in or scroll. The only way I can actually view it as an image is if I long-press the image, save it, then open it from ES Explorer, Gallery or similar app. This is the case with all pictures sent to me over MMS and from all senders. How do I turn this off so that the MMS app sees it as an image and not a 5-second movie?

By the way, I noticed this was the case with my S3 as well, so maybe this is more related to the Samsung SMS app than the Note II. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ducksFANjason:
Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to fix this issue, though I can confirm I have the same complaint about it. I have the feeling it has something to do with the Android text messaging app and how it handles attachments, and not so much how the Note 2 specifically handles them. I had this exact same issue with my Experia Play. It's an annoyance at worst to me, so I just ignore it, but if anyone knows of a workaround, I'd be glad to hear it!

I'm currently using cm10. Not really impressed with battery, but overall is decent. I'm looking for a ROM with pretty good battery life. Any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
There is just way too many variables to answer that question. Just keep trying roms one after another. Also expect this thread to locked down soon!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danielsaenz:
Why would this be locked? He's asking for what ROM has good battery life, not which one is best or other flameworthy question.

Anyway, I think the Kernel has as much if not more importance with battery life. I use official AOKP JB Milestone (4.1, not 4.2) with LeanKernel and I get AMAZING battery life. I noticed that LeanKernel was the factor that did this for me, so you might want to give it a shot. I don't think LeanKernel works with 4.2 yet though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
The best way is to try them yourself. Everyone uses their device differently so performance and results vary across devices. Also ignore what the guy said, this was a good question.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] benefit14snake:
For me, best battery to date has been tasks aokp with ktoonsez kernel.

Their 4.2 rom is really nice but still in the early stages so I expect the battery life to get better but their 4.1 rom was outstanding with battery.

Is LearnKernel compatible with Ktweaker and AOKP Rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xylos123:
Just installed leankernal. Let's see how battery life will go. Thanks guys. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saj222:
Check out AoCP. I've gotten the best battery life out of that ROM. I think I used lean kernel with AoCP 4.4. The current version is now 4.6.

I also use juice defender and cpu sleeper to aid with general battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] *KiD CuDi*:
Does anyone know how the leankernel compares with the ktoonsez kernel for battery life? I was getting great battery life with kt and cm10

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

I'm basically looking for a rom that can last 8 hours screen time if that's even possible. Or close to that, data always on.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CrackerTeg:
8 hours screen time with data always on? On stock battery? That's a tall order. Good luck with that.

battery life depends on too many things. my daily driver is awesome but if battery life was my main concern I'd never enjoy a ROM as much
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tobstradamus:
8 hours screen time doesn't seem possible in my experience on stock battery. On Carbon ROM with LeanKernel I get a good 3-4 hours screen time when I'm gone for 14-16 hours from a charger.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Atrixn00b:
haha just my way of asking If 8 hours would be possible. I think the most I got to was 4 and a half. was reading reviews before I got the phone and it said that it has 7 hour screen time. Have you tried that extended battery? I was looking at some and was gonna buy one but afraid of buying a faulty one lol.

OK, so sprint 3G speed in Sevierville, TN sucks sooo bad!!!! Anyway to make it faster???

Edit: oh and the tower is right across the street.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
yes. get off of sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brooksyx:
That was the speeds I was getting while on Virgin Mobile (sprint). Switched to straight talk and my speeds are like 10 times faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crowmallet:
Sprint is awful. I don't know how they can still be in such business. I can only assume they do well in large metro areas. Im in central ohio and 3g was awful all the time. I switched to verizon. I initially went with sprint because of their unlimited plans, but what good is unlimited data if you cant even get to it. I have a 4gb data plan now and avg 1.5-2gb per month. couldnt be happier. definitely worth the extra money. their lte is the best. i broke my sprint contract with 7 months left and was not charged a termination fee. good luck with your data struggles!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
You might be able to sue over that contract if they had charged you, if you go to court and basically say Sprint service is ****, if I remember correctly they generally buy that, because Sprint isn't providing you with reasonable service (aka holding up their end of the contract).

But yes, how are they still in business? Most of the time my friends can't even get on the Play Store, the connection times out. I'd rather have capped data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shinydude100:
That's terrible ping, did you check under results to make sure it read evdo rev a? Sometimes looks can be decieving, but ymmv from location. I get garbage speeds where I live, but over 1mbps on virgin mobile in speedtests when I go over to the wealthy side of town.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
How about this one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justen7723:
Sprint sucks!!! I also went to them for unlimited data, but the data was pretty much unusable. Went to Verizon and love dependable 4g almost everywhere. And prices are pretty much the same, I might b capped now but its data I can use. it is still about the same in the monthly bill, and no I never worry about using too much data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Couldn't agree more. I only pay 5 dollars more a month with Verizon. I'm so glad I don't have sprint. I live in San Diego and I was roaming internationally in my apt. I live 35miles away from the border didn't make sense to me. Now I have 4g everywhere I go and its so dependable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tnizzle:
Leave asap

I left sprint for straight talk last month. Best decision I ever made. Don't walk,

but Sprint to the nearest Walmart and get your sim card now!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brooksyx:
Straight talk is great. There are a few dead spots around the area but most days my speeds are great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shinydude100:
I've been wanting to make the switch to straight talk for quite awhile myself honestly, the only thing holding me back is efforts to continue supporting people that follow my guide.

This is my different speeds with sprint.

Speeds where I live ^ although I do live in between two cities, so its understandable on how lame it is.

And these are the speeds I get in the rich people side. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Airwolf79:
No way ur paying only $5 a month more for a comparable plan on Verizon, unless u were getting ripped on Sprint and not getting the 25% discount. I'm not happy with Sprint either, but no way am I gonna let Verizon butt rape me. I'll go prepaid when my contract expires. The easiest solution to this problem is roaming onto Verizon 3g via:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1660740

[PRL] Verizon / Corporate PRL on your Sprint Galaxy Nexus !!!

I'll tell u though, Verizon's 3g speeds are not that much better than Sprints where I'm at (Santa Clarita, Ca), usable, but not nearly as good as HSPA. CDMA revA will be obsolete eventually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justen7723:
U call that a solution???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FrostyF7:
Its like unlimited dial up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
me and my girl both left, both now on pre paid and loving it, i got the tmo thirty dollar plan and its been fantastic, she is on straight talk with at@t service, def better service on both ends. also now combined bills are the same as one sprint plan. We also had a discount on our sprint plan and could have cared less

Also battery life has been improved to, due to our sprint phones having to fight to get data from the tower. Sprint would be better if they weren't the back for virgin and boost
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DertyDOH:
I had speeds just like that, then back in February I paid the prorated ETF ($50) and went to verizon. Now I'm usually 12mbps and up, because they have 4g pretty much everywhere. At least in my area of SC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Not lying. Was paying 210 for 3 lines then they changed the plan to where the free 2nd line was going to be charged the add a line fee shock was 20 bucks. I pay 225 for the same amount of minutes and all 3 lines and 4gb of data on all of them for 220
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Airwolf79:
I C. Yeah I was pissed too when Sprint raised my rates. How can they raise rates first and fix the crappy network later? Makes sense since you're only getting 4gbs of data. These contract companies like Sprint and Verizon will have to fight to keep customers at these prices in the coming years cuz prepaid is growing fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
You should show me how to do that! :)

720P Not compatible resolution

I have a somewhat older (5/6 years old) Sony Bravia LCD tv, that is 1080i, and 720p hd support. It is old, and only has 1 hdmi port, and the settings in the tv do not give me any HDMI options - therefore I cannot ask the TV to accept the native resolution. When I plug in my surface, and try to use it, the start screen comes up, live tiles update, etc. but I cannot launch any apps. I get an error that my resolution is not supported (720p).

I have tried to mirror, extend, and only use only the 2nd monitor - all get me the same error. I open the resolution settings, and it doesn't allow me to switch the resolution on the 2nd monitor.

Is there any hope - or should I just bite the bullet and get a VGA adapter?

I really don't want to spend 1500$ on a tv just because my surface wont mirror to the screen. I just for the life of me cannot figure out why MS wouldn't support native 720p resolution - considering there are probably 10's of millions of TV's that utilize that HD format.

This is the first major fail in my book for this device. Other than this, still loving it.
[Microsoft Surface] marko96:
1) Don't buy Samsung crap

2) For sound, go to Desktop > Right click on volume > playback device > Select HDMI and click by default > Then restart the app which was using sound (if it was opened).

3)For 720p problems, my advice is to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peGXiGURzRc
[Microsoft Surface] UBNAS81:
Thanks - I saw that - My TV only has one HDMI, so switching the port obviously isn't the issue.
[Microsoft Surface] marko96:
You need and you must have a 768p minimum. Check which resolutions your Surface supports in settings.
[Microsoft Surface] UBNAS81:
Yes, I know, I just don't understand why MS would do this considering the 1000's of devices out there that max out at 720p. Either way, I ordered a VGA adapter, and will see how that works. Anyone know if I need to buy the MS one, or can I just get any MicroHDMI to VGA off of amazon?
[Microsoft Surface] djboo:
Press win + p and select second monitor only, it'll output to 1080p and all tvs will work. Some tvs won't accept the surfaces native red over hdmi. U can also use desktop display settings to 1280x720 if U want mirroring.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stryke_the_Orc:
No I meant the directory in your installer script (ie, if I were to install a boot animation it would be system/etc; not system/system) thats why I asked if your directory was right. If I remember right, status 6 errors occur when there is an issue with signatures and system apps. Installing to the wrong place would cause an error, or at the least a boot loop.
