Thanks! I will give that a go!

Whats this? Never heard of it.

I have heard of dbPowerAmp that converts from mp3 to wma, supposed to cut files in half. So will test that on a few songs, I really don't want to loose alot of quality for storage. And since I am going with a 2G plan (already miss my unlimited!), want to really reduce my data usage, so will google music download to my phone, or only play whats on the cloud?

Crazy! I am doing something like that now, except contacts don't sync wirelessly, in fact, they don't wired either! Have to save contact file, then upload to phone, and load into google. Hopefully my Windows phone and Windows Outlook will really enjoy working together!

Music - For $9.99 a month you can enjoy an Xbox Music Pass, allowing unlimited streaming and downloading of over 30 million songs. It's integrated directly into the Music+Video hub. You can grab whatever you like, it's pretty awesome. And if you like Pandora-like functionality, you can use the Smart DJ feature to create a playlist of music similiar to an artist or song that you like. If you have Windows 8, you can use the Music app on there to add music to your "Cloud Collection." Music in your cloud collection will appear on your phone as if you had synced it there, but will stream when you play it. You can tap+hold to download it to your phone if you like. I will note that the Music app on Windows 8 leaves a lot to be desired. Zune was way more useful and awesome, but Xbox Music will improve over time.

Side-loading - You don't do this on Windows Phone. Apps are approved by Microsoft and installed via the Store only, to ensure quality and safety. This is similiar to Apple, but Microsoft is less restrictive on what they allow (Apple tends to block things they find morally offensive or that encroach on their own products). If you are a registered Windows Phone developer, you can developer-unlock your phone and side-load apps to it, if you have the source-code for said apps. There aren't many available, and this is not the intended purpose of the dev account.

Outlook/Email - Email on WP8 is tied to online accounts (gmail, outlook, yahoo, custom). And since you sign into the phone with a Microsoft account, you already have an account on Outlook.com if you want to use it. You can set it up to check an existing email account with another service provider, or create aliases (other email addresses) that go directly to your Microsoft account email. If you want to connect the Outlook desktop program on your PC to your Outlook.com online email, you can download a program called the Microsoft Office Outlook Hotmail Connector, which does exactly what you are trying to do.

You can sync the phone with your desktop to transfer music, videos, and photos back and forth, in one of three ways: On Windows 8, use the "Windows Phone" app from the integrated Windows Store, or download the Windows Phone desktop sync program, or just drag and drop files using Windows Explorer. When you plug your phone into your PC, you will see it under My Computer. There are folders for Music, Videos, Photos, and Ringtones.

Another awesome thing is the SkyDrive integration. Go to skydrive.com on your PC using your Microsoft account (or jump to it from Outlook.com using the menu at the top left). You can store files there. 7 GB for free. Photos automatically show up in your phone's Photos hub. Documents automatically show up on your phone's Office hub. There is a SkyDrive app in the Windows Phone Store that will let you do even more with your SkyDrive.

Enjoy your phone. It's actually very awesome.

Yea, I have thought of that, but cant find a reasonable excuse to use it. I may listen to hours of music a day, but I am very specific regarding sound and styles. And I get the latest from my friends and listening to the radio from time to time. If I hear of a band from friends or on the radio, I look for more and see if I like it. If I do, I purchase the albums. Of course, my favorite band is an atuomatic purchase and doesn't count. Since 2010, I have only purchased three albums from bands I have learned about, so 10 bucks a month just isn't justified.

There aren't many available, and this is not the intended purpose of the dev account.

I am looking into trying to write my own apps. I have gotten a ton of information and where to look, so hope to start doing that soon. There is (I think) a simple app that is the only one I really miss, so going to see if I can make it!

Outlook/Email

I got that figured out. My wife loves how I get updates wirelessly, instead of having to sync every weeked.

You can sync the phone with your desktop to transfer music, videos, and photos back and forth.

Did the transfer method. But gonna look into that desktop sync thing, might make music transfers easier.

SkyDrive integration.

That just rocks! Its crazy that I can capture a vid or picture, and the family can watch them from my xbox almost instantly when I am still out in the field! I haven't yet fully utilized it, but getting there! Just need to figure out office and I will be a mobile fool!

Enjoy your phone. It's actually very awesome.

It is really awesome! Even my wife loves it! Maybe I can get her to come back from the dark side of apple! This phone really is above and beyond what I though it would be, The style is great and the OS just rocks! Really impressed with Windows. I think I can call myself a fanboy now!

My name is Jerry, and this is my windows phone!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobeyuno:
Okay the main problem here that once the phone is turned off it can be left untoched and will turn itself back on. These are things i have tried so far

Factory reset

Clean the USB port

Root the phone

Full wipe and new Rom (paranoid android 2.54)

Un-root and put stock rom on (Android 4.04)

Virus check

Clean the battery connections

So far nothing has stopped the issue
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markey97:
do you mean i9100 or i9001?

because i9100 is the galaxy s2 and then you are i the wrong section. But if you mean i9001 then go to the wiki and download the stock recovery and flash it. problem should be gone.

i can post links to helpful sites if you want

Ive been thinking of jumping ship for a new 4g phone, what are some of the phones you guys would suggest? I want to have the same control over it as i had with my og droid ( flashing kernels and roms, not locked), so wich phones are compleatly unlocked? Is it just Motorola phones with non unlockable bootloaders?
[Motorola Droid 3] kristoff125:
I actually jumped ship from big red with a Nexus 4, I absolutely love it, and T-Mo isn't bad, $30 / month is amazing. For Verizon I hear HTC is unlocking bootloaders now. The S4 is coming soon and Samsung actually seems to support their phones.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:

Greetings XDA,

​

I have a chromebook, and I would really like to transfer files between my two devices. Does anyone know if there is a way to get USB mass storage enabled on Jelly Bean? I have an android phone running Froyo and I think that UMS is just more convenient for me because it is compatible with all my USB enabled devices.

Hi !

I wonder if it will reflow in Adobe Reader. I'm reading English and Chinese pdf.

Is the reflow sluggish when scrolling ?

What is the maximum pdf size that this phone can comfortably handle ?

Thanks a lot and look forward to hearing from you.
[HD2 General] GRudolf94:
I've had my HD2 for a few months now, problem is, mine was already quite beaten when bought. Wi-fi antenna wire thingy was busted, stole one from a dead Desire A8181, touchscreen was mis-glued due to a badly replaced display, lenses for proximity and light sensor are missing, screen has a whole line of dead pixels, case is busted, and so on.

Last week it started hanging up randomly on android. Thermal trouble. Fixed. However, when tearing the damn thing apart, I ripped the already messed flex cable. Great, now I can't flash, use MAGLDR, recovery, etc. Can anyone point me a reliable part/phone source? I'm in Brazil, so most eBay sellers are a no-go. Or, if anyone has a dead/beaten TMo Leo they are wishing to sell/trade, PM me. Dunno if I'm posting this right, but as I'm a XDA noob, no marketplace for me.

Have you seen the new Ubuntu Phone demo? It would be great if we had gestures like that on 4.2.1, too. No more softkeys, just pure gesture control

I am surprised, this hasn't been done.... I am too looking into this.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Mr. Kostik:
I use FullScreen Toggle to disable the Nav Bar (there is also an option for that in the AOKP-roms) and GMD Gesture Control from the Market to create gestures for the missing buttons.

For the back-button I have a gesture that starts at bottom left and just goes up, for home I have one in the middle and so on. So you "swype" from below the display into the display on the positions where the buttons would normally be.

The settings: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kk2oiqk145z7olo/2013-01-04 18.43.54.png
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] qvert:
An app which is doing the following would be good:

hiding the softkeys

with a gesture showing the softkeys for 10 Seconds or so and hide them again

all the other gesture apps just enable me to set a gesture for back home menu etc, but a gesture for hiding and showing the softkeys would be great

edit:

LMT is able to run a script via gesture:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150

so it would be cool to have a script doing what i need, but i don't know how to create one :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] crazyhazy:
^ This would be amazing if possible
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] galaxys:
+1 would be cool!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tenji7:
GMD Gesture can do gesture to hide and unhide the softkey. But is does not have any setting to automatic hide it after a few second.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
Am I the only one that noticed the output of the included wall charger has gone up? My Note had 1 amp and my Note II has 2 amps (from what I can see on the tiny little writing on the charger body itself). Makes perfect sense... Larger battery = More powerfull charger. Intresting little sidenote (or benefit) that I'm begining to learn about my new toy.

But it bears out a question.... I now have a .5 amp charger for my bluetooth, a 1 amp charger for my old Note..... Could I safely use the higher output charger on my bluetooth, or would that damage the bluetooth (Motorola Sliver) battery pack?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Yes. The device will only draw what it can use.

So if you put your 2 amp charger on your BT it will be fine, since it will only draw .5 amps (or less).

If you put your .5 amp charger on your Note 2 it will be fine, but will take a couple of weeks to charge (lol).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] charley000:
Milkman is correct. The specs on the charger are the maximum amount of current it can safely pump out, not what it will actually put out. Your are perfectly safe as long as the charger is the correct voltage. The battery for the Galaxy Note II (like most phone batteries) is 3.7 volts. Any voltage at least 3.7 volts up to about 5.5 volts is OK. Higher voltage could damage your battery (not likely but possible).

If you try to plug in a charger that has way too little current output and isn't properly protected with a current limiter circuit, it is possible it could burn out your charger as the device tries to grab too much current. So if you put a 0.2 amp charger that is poorly designed and doesn't have a current limiter, you could burn out the charger. But putting a 2 amp charger on a 0.2 amp device just means that the device will only draw 0.2 amps from the charger and everything will be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
Thanks for the answers guys... I was hoping to charge my bt a Lil quicker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
If u want faster charging times. Get a 6" micro usb cable. Or shorter if possible! Not going to b that much of a difference but you'll b cutting down the resistance. Longer the cable, longer is gonna take to charge! !!:p

I got a touch pad running jcsullins cm10 andi am in love with it. I noticed I'm on 12-11-12 release and saw there is a 12-16-12 release. What is the easiest way to update it? I have the zip saved already.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
Make sure you have a backup, just in case. Wipe cache and Dalvik, flash in cwm, using install zip from sd card. Reboot and you should be all set.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
Just flash with whatever recovery you are using TWRP /CMW I assume you originally used acmeinstaller 3.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dymedog:
It was installed when I bought the touch pad last week. I'm assuming I reboot into recovery and install the zip from cwm. Just wanted to be 100%. Any idea what the difference is between the release on the 11th and the one on the 16th?

I have the 12-11 release on and its fairly stable. I can't complain. Worried about storage size differences....

As everything seems to be working fine I would stay as you are and get familiar with this Rom and Tablet. Then have a read of this post just the first page it gives really good instructions and has a video tutorials plus links to all the files that you would need to upgrade to acmeinstaller 3.

I just changed every color string in that file to 33b5e5 and now it's all Cyan. Just got to go back and figure out which XML node actually controlled the Carrier Text and I'm golden.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ragin Caucasian:
The Note II has a solid video recorder that allows you to zoom in and out while recording and you can even record in slow motion.

Question here is is there a way to adjust audio recording when capturing video?

I use my mobile device to capture what I can of live performances and while the Note II is significantly better at this task (clear, crisp audio) than my previous devices it still has a limitation where there is too much gain / too sensitive to low registers. I can record AUDIO alone via Hi-Q or voice recorder with no issues, just would like the same consistency with video.

:confused:
