You don't need any modified apks for using nfc in lock screen (only screen must be on) . For me it works with widget locker. I didn't like the behavior of widget locker not reporting the locked state to system (when i was using tasker this was unwanted in some cases), now i like widget locker for this behavior! ;)

AW: [Q] Nfc on screen off or with locked screen

For security (privacy) I'm using Visidon applock (face recognition). It locks specific apps with private content (sms, email etc.)

And I have an anti theft software running. But I hope I never need it. :)

Usually I watch out for my phone and Visidon helps against prying eyes.

[Nexus 7 General] vmpillet:
Just landed here tired of the low volume of my Nexus 7. It sucks. With the original software one could install apps that increased the volume (Volume+ etc.). After updating to 4.2.1, these apps don't work anymore (Is Google caring about my hearing habits and becoming more like Apple?). The thing is that for the use I give to my, otherwise lovely, Nexus 7 I need a higher volume !!!

My question is does anyone know here if rooting the device and installing CM10 will allow the old apps (Volume +, Volume booster) to be effective again into boosting the volume of the device?

Thanks

hi, i updated to original 4.1.2 rom, galaxy note gt-n7000. but ascending ringtone is annoying, i found that some custom firmwares allready get rid of it, but what to do for people with original one? there was some mods on old ROMs for phone.apk http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1455483 but on 4.1.2 there is no no more phone.apk.

So can i do the same thing with secphone.apk and secphone.odex? or there is another way to do that? thanks in advance.

So i wanted to see if im the only one who get some of the bugs below:

1) keyboard(any keyboard) falling animation stops in the middle and disappear instead of going all the way down whic is kind of ugly and make it looks like lagging.

2) and the more crucial is this(photo attached) - contacts names in people section randomly getting blank and the only way to know which contact it is, is to enter the contacts edit and see the name there.

couldn't be more annoying!

any other bugs we should know?

just noticed there is a bug thread already. please move this to there, sorry.

Maps broken

I have a HTC One S locked to Orange/T-Mobile/EE network which is stock ROM, haven't had the need to mess around with it just yet. It received the OTA update to JellyBean 4.1 on Christmas Day, which installed fine without any problems.

Now I find that regardless of what I do, the maps and navigation crashes within a couple of minutes of use. This part is annoying since it seems to work and then anywhere between 1 minute and 5 minutes it simply stops with a force close message. I did a factory reset to see if this would clear the problem, but it hasn't.

The details of my phone are:

Android Version 4.1.1

HTC Sense Version 4+

Software Number 3.16.401.8

HTC SDK API Level 4.63

Kernel Version 3.4.10

Build Number 3.16.401.8

Maps Version 6.14.2

Would be interested to hear from anyone else who has this problem, or more so from anyone who has it and managed to cure it. Else I will have to look at downloading an alternative ROM, one which has working maps!

Maps

I searched the HTC One S forums for maps crashing and found one which is to do with Cyangenmod ROM as opposed to the stock ROM. I've posted it in here simply because it only started after the JB 4.1.1 update was completed over Xmas. (If I search again for maps crashing, I now get two which is the original thread and this one.)

If you can point me to the thread which deals with this problem, then I would appreciate it greatly, as it is really getting on my nerves. More so since I've removed all updates for Google Maps, they're now back to the stock JB version, and it still crashes.

Cheers

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flightless:
So I've been with a few Galaxy devices and the Tab 7.7 was a huge disappointment with the screen department as I've never gotten one that had no obvious issues. I currently have a Galaxy S3 and the only glaring issue it has is the pinkish whites but I dont really care to much as the phone was a company gift, planning to pass it on to the wife and get my self a Galaxy Note 2.

First order of business is are there any common screen related issues on the Galaxy Note 2, all Im aware about is that there are some screens that are more bluish/reddish than others. I do hope that the Galaxy Note 2 does not have any of those black crush issues, suction cup/circular marks on dark images and banding lines.

Second, how responsive is the S-Pen on the entire screen? Some Galaxy Note 1's had a very poor / zero response on the edges of the screen and how is the 'input latency' on it?

Lastly how awesome is it ? :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
Hey there.

1. I have had no screen issues. Whites seem fine though not as bright as an LCD. No black crush or anything for me.

2. Pen is great. Quite accuraye and responsive. I did noticed a small inconsistency towards the edges only when moving quickly.

3. So freaking awesome haha
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
Regarding screen color "issues". Samsung allows you to change the screen mode in the device, which will give you different color densities. Not a defect, it's s great feature for those who prefer a certain look to the devices screen.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
Samsung's best amoled yet. Black crush has not been an issue. Actually kind of makes me upset as this screen looks better than my 51" Samsung plasma now. Lol. And if you're gonna use a screen protector might want to thoroughly research which ones work fine with s pen. The cheap ones I got from T-Mobile are terrible for s pen and have no oleophobic coating. I had to polish the screen protector with rain x to get a usable screen and functional with s pen.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flightless:
Sweet thanks for your input!

With the previous generation I had to deal with uneven colors on the screen, like for example the Galaxy S2's yellowish left side and the Tab7.7's darker side and the screen was filled with cup holes. Though I spent the last hour searching for any related screen issue complaint I havent found anything yet which is a good sign, I dont want to go through all the trouble with my Tab7.7 (about 11-12 replacements)

For the screen protectors I think Im going with SGP Ultra Nano something.. they should work well with the Spen.

Any other input from users especially if they have seen/heard any screen issues would be nice, so at least I can lower or raise my expectations properly :D

Looking for more feedback if there are any issues :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rilot:
The only current issue I'm aware of with the screens is that on some devices, the s-pen doesn't register at the extreme lower, right corner of the screen. Mine has this issue but it doesn't bother me as I have no reason to want to click there.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flightless:
Thanks, with the really low response on this thread I would assume that there is not wide spread screen related issue on the Galaxy Note 2. even on the Galaxy S3 a simple google search gives me tons of results from users reporting with a defective or a problematic screen.

I wouldn't worry about. Basically i would say go for the note 2. I havent had any issues whatsoever. Only one moment of lag but at the time i was overloading the phone quite severely haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] krayzielilsmoki:
Yes unfortunately my note 2 got stolen at a party and even if I had some kind of tracking app installed it would be useless because they pulled the battery as soon as they took it.

This gave me an idea that some smart developer might take advantage of.

I propose we cook something into the rom's (like carrier IQ) that has the ability to track the location of that phone. Not tied to the mobile number or the sim card but to the phone itself. This way if somebody puts in a different sim the phone can still be tracked and controlled remotely. Also if they do a wipe of the phone, this will still be in there unless they switch roms.

Now this would be a service that is always available but is pay per use.

So if you never have to use it you never have to pay for it, but if your phone gets stolen you pay like $3-$5 to get the location of your phone emailed to you.

Just a thought.

I lost all hope on my phone coming back but I would really like not to experience this again in the future and I don't want anybody else to have to go through this either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] exalgopana:

Avast security with root features does just about everything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] raduque:
Cerberus does this too. Doesn't need root, and it even survives factory resets. Alerts you if somebody puts in an unauthorized sim.

Whether or not it would survive a custom rom flash, I don't know (probably wouldn't if the rom wipes /system maybe - I don't know where Cerberus stores itself).

BTW, that sucks that somebody stole your N2. =\

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ronaldsalem75:
That sucks dude. Did you get insurance? :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dav1boy:
That sucks man. One of the main reasons why I switched to tmo from sprint. Since I have cheaper phones laying around, I just switch them out before I go anywhere I.e a bar etc. That way if I lose (or stolen) anything, itll be something I can live with.

I know with sprint I can swap the esns online but it doesnt work half the time and have to call care to fix it. Sim cards are ingenious.

I recommend everyone have some throw away phones for reasons like this. Or insurance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lalab0y:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] abhislogan:
Frankly speaking I have already lost 2 mobile phones..

It feels very odd, n weird...

The most horrifying thoughts are that people might go through all the data, video, pics that u tried so hard to keep a secret...

Seriously v need a better technology here...

Almost every mobile has gps, n now they also have Russian + American GPS installed in our latest mobiles, that really makes me think, every mobile can b theoretically tacked down, no matter watt.. but still v are at mercy of cops n operators...

Developers really need to focus on this idea n boost a total new era...

P.S

I too use tracking apps, but still they are limited.. u can find it if it was lost.. but how do u manage to located it in real time, when u living in high density of population?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] eurohomie:
I use aeGis(hoping I could send out the SMS in time to activate it) and on my lock screen I put a little message that says "This phone is equipped with Lojack. It is being tracked via GPS" just hoping that it deters theft.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vinas1:
Not to sound rude, but seriously how do you know that they pulled the battery and sim immediately? Did you find the battery door sitting on the ground or something? It's not exactly intuitive to pull the battery door on the Note 2.

IMHO I can't help but think that lookout and/or prey could have helped you, or at the very least a lock screen and encrypted FS to protect your data. Still I'm sorry that this happened to you. I know lookout will send a shout out when the battery gets low with its last know location. That along with a lock screen would give you a pretty decent chance of recovering the device. Maybe something to consider for the future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Corrupt0387:
A Lesson Learned

They have to put the battery in eventually. I use Lookout, and you can wipe all your data from the click of your computer. It also has a lot of locating features. I'm pretty sure I upgraded and paid a little for the app. But it is definitely worth it when it comes to the stuff you keep on your phones now a days. I don't like keeping a pin on mine or the pattern. Too much of a pain personally every time you want to go in your phone. On a side note, NEVER leave your note 2 lying around at a party. It should be in your hands dazzling ALL.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
Just a thought, Any app will require a working internet connection before submitting any data/info to their servers.

The device can be easily switched on without sim, wiped and flashed and good to use.:(

But yes, these apps may help if the one who stole is not smart enough.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] f4phantomii:
A coworker had the same thing happen to him at work a couple of years ago.

My group works in a limited access area with badge scanners on the door and cameras watching the doorway.

There were about 15 of us and we were all in a meeting. My coworker had left his phone on his desk. He remembered a few minutes into the meeting and went to grab it. It was gone.

It was clear none of us had taken it since we were all in the meeting together!

Reported it to security who quickly reviewed the CCTV video. A maintenance guy walked in, saw it laying on the desk, and grabbed it. Other cameras showed he immediately (not even 10 steps away) had pulled the battery. He walked straight outside to his vehicle and on the way tossed sim card in trash. I'm sure it was headed for a pawn shop at lunch that day.

My sister had her phone taken in a mall restroom. She was helping her young daughter in the stall and sat her phone on top of the toilet paper dispenser.

Of course she walked off without the phone. She washed up her hands and her daughter and literally got three steps out the door when she realized she didn't have the phone.

It was already gone and there was nobody else in the restroom!

I called the number immediately. Whoever took it answered and simply laughed and taunted us to come find them.

We ended up calling AT&T and having them disable the IMEI number. Never got the phone back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Erikbronx:
That is sad!

Sorry to the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SuijinZ:
Something similar happened to a friend of mine, but his was stolen instead of lost. He used a paid version of LookOut app and he attempted to sound the alarm see if its still nearby since LookOut can sound your alarm even if its on silent or vibrate mode. Then he realize they must have pull the battery out since there's a password on the phone so they can't do anything to it now beside pulling the battery. He constantly check the position of the phone to see if its power on at anytime. He then wipe the phone using the app and blacklist it. :D But all aside, sorry to hear about your lost. Hopefully you will be able to take more security measure for the new one. It's a very eye catching phone, anyone would want to get their hands on it as soon as you are slightly careless >.<
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GN2Rabbit:
Had my old phone stolen awhile back. I had installed a tracking app that would survive any type of wiping. The app reinstalled from a spexial partition on the device. I could activate an alarm remotely and it would give a gps location via text every 5 minutes when it was on. I just waited. Eventually it made it to a local mall. I tried calling it but the guy just picked up and said I wasn't getting it back. So I called the police and asked them to meet me at the mall. When they arrived I just got another location update. So we went to where the gps said it was and I activated the alarm. The theif was caught and I got my phone back. Still had the sim on him too. You just have to be persistent.

The ONLY way that this will cease to be a huge issue is if one of or several apps become really good at not only tracking but sending pictures of the thief to some law enforcement reporting service.

There must be a deterrent effect in place to really make our phones safe. Police in most big cities will not follow the perp around waiting for a GPS signal. We need deterrence.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] julez456:
Cerberus takes your picture if you lock it and someone enters in the wrong password. It also tracks very good.

Cerberus also survives factory wipes and SIM swaps if it is installed in the system (root) of your phone. It's one of the first apps I install on all my phones. I usually install Lookout as a backup also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
Yes, as I mentioned earlier these applications may or may not help, it depends upon who stole the phone so it's good to have them.

But Cerberus or any other app is useless if the ROM itself is flashed.

I did this at work about 2 months ago. Went to the bathroom, set my phone on the TP dispenser & got all the way back to my desk before noticing it was gone. I had a mild infarction, sprinted back to the bathroom, and by some miracle it was still there. I've had a phone stolen before though, about 7 years ago. It was my Nokia 3650 & at the time, it was as dear to me as my N2 is now. I was LIVID.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kw5655:
Cerberus is a very cool app!. Thanks for mentioning it. I've been using Lookout (free version) and an app called Facetrap, which takes a pic if you enter the wrong passcode. You can also remote lock/wipe, GPS locate, and sound a siren. But Cereberus takes a step further with being able to take a screenshot, check call logs and much more. It does say that the phone will not survive a rom flash, but i'm willing to bet most folks don't know how to do this. Whatever you use, you gotta use some type of security as there is much more to lose than the phone itself.

To the OP, that sucks getting your phone stolen. My rule of thumb is I never lay my phone down, its either in my pocket or in my bag which is attached to my shoulder and yes I have trust issues. LOL. ;)
