So I'm not even sure what the problem is here. My YouTube and my stock video player both show the video "popped out"(best way to describe it) . It covers up the slide progress bar, the "skip this ad" button, and even my pull down notifications. I've tried looking in all my settings, and I searched online and here in the forums and can't find anything. It does this in app and from the browser.

I'm using paranoidandroid jb rom, but it's done this even when I was on liquid smooth rom as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MoJoe277:
All jb ROMs have this issue. Go to Developer Settings and chose " Disable HW Overlay". Must do this after every reboot.

And work on getting better with " searching" as this has been addressed in nearly every jb ROM thread numerous times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scoutsdoitbetter:
OK thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 1slow4G:
Anyone annoyed by the separate volume control of the ringer volume and notification volume? Want to control ringer + notification volume with the volume rocker? Found this app in another forum that does that. No root required. Im running ota jb. Thats it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ar.quicksettings&feature=search_result#?t=W10

Click on the "volumes" icon.

Check mark "apply to notification volume".

Done.

Hope it helps some of you. Working great on my gs3.

Hi I just got a tablet but its not nexus 10 with 2gb of ram it only has 1gb of ram. I am contemplating on exchanging my tablet for a nexus 10 and I would like to ask you folks out there what on average is the available free ram on a nexus 10?

I think to average it out this post needs to have a lot of input.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdog2115:
I generally get 400-800 MB free of ram
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
Looking at free ram is a rather pointless measurement considering Android is Linux, and unix systems go by a "free ram is wasted ram" philosophy. With that said, mine is currently sitting at 541.5MB.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vxxda:
700M
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilopopo:
Thanks

Thanks guys now i have an idea of how much memory is available on average.

I wonder if having 2gb is better than having 1gb of ram
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECOTOX:
Please search first, this question is near pointless and been asked a million times here, but to answer your question more ram never hurts but Android will hardly if ever run into low ram situations with 1gb of total system memory of more. Linux is different than a windows system and likes to use all available ram and when it needs ram for a task will kill tasks that have been idle for too long to free it up so task killers and monitoring free ram are time and battery eating tasks and you will be happier if you kick the habit ASAP
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxorelad:
the nexus 4 has around 1800mb ram and the nexus 10 should have a similar amount
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECOTOX:
Probably not, larger resolution means it needs more dedicated to vram
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
It's kind of false advertising then. For example, should I sell my computer as having 10GB of RAM, even though only 8GB is actually usable as System RAM, with the other 2GB as Video RAM? Kind of silly imo... should of just put 2GB in the thing and then a separate dedicated amount for video.

But in any case, is there any actual hard proof this is what is happening? I wouldn't know where to begin to look really, but I'd love to see a section of the kernel code that actually dictates this, instead of just hearing "assumptions" :p
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECOTOX:
When you buy any computer without a dedicated video card you loose ram to the video processing. When you buy a 10gb computer you only get maybe 9gb usable. Same with hard drives due to formatting limitation, it's not false advertising that's how much it has. Consumer ignorance is not the same as false advertising. The system needs some dedicated to video, audio, radio, and anything else that can't have variable sizing. they told you the right amount but you didn't know that just like the desktop you buy in a store the total available isn't the same as user available because the system needs some of it

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

Yes there is a section of kernel code that dictates it go look at the source. If it's like the samsung vibrant it will be in the kernel config file
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0ta666:
yes we can
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
I suppose this does make sense; but even with the computers I owned that had integrated graphics, they had some kind of onboard memory attached to them. I could choose to alter how much additional VRAM I needed from system RAM, but didn't have to.

As for my Desktop, out of the 8GB installed in my system, only 1MB (according to Windows anyway) is unusable as "Hardware Dedicated".

Regardless, every other Android device I've seen has a specified amount of RAM it comes with on the box, and has "approximately" the same amount shown as usable in the OS itself. The Nexus 10 says 2GB, with only 1.6GB usable, which isn't nearly "as approximate" imo.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECOTOX:
i can say with 100% certainty that any computer you have owned without a dedicated GPU that has been made within the past 5-6 yrs has at least 100-200mb dedicated to vram. If it even supports 8gb it is gernerally around 512mb that is dedicated as it probably is within 3-4yrs old and probably has an AMD radeon HD gpu or intel HD GPU which use 256mb at minumum. The only way you would have only 1mb taken is if you have a dedicated GPU or it is reading it wrong. I've worked with computer for over a decade and have had to explain this upwards of 100 times :P I can also say that every single android device with more than 256mb of ram has at LEAST 100-300mb of its ram dedicated to the GPU, the cell/wifi radio, hardware video decoder, camera, and anything else it needs. Samsung vibrant has about 200mb for those dedicated from the 512mb, galaxy nexus has about 300mb dedicated out of 1gb, hp touchpad about the same. Larger the resolution the more you need so 400mb to the system isnt very odd. Id say min 256mb for the resolution on the N10 for video, then probly 100-128mb for the hardware video decoder and 50mb or so for camera and for wifi radio. that totals to approximately 400mb depending on the exact amounts because i dont know them for the n10. If you really want to you can go into the kernel config and change the amounts, but you will break hd playback, picture taking,etc. Which is what would happen if i configured the amounts too low in my vibrant kernels.

ps, why must auto correct fail me sometimes? ^ x3

and to add to that, look at the amount of user available storage. Do you have the entire 16 or 32gb you bought? no, you will loose about 1-2gb from formating then another 1-2gb for the system and app storage

iwhenever i bootup my phone turns into colors then turns white and my computer wont recognize it. i am running blackstar x and am rooted. if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it. oh and i cant go into recovery but can access odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
So just flash a rom with odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Agreed....

and once the new image is pushed over to the device, you will need to boot once, then reboot into recovery and wipe all caches and data.

Otherwise, you will have dirty flashed, and you will have stability issues....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] izdabombest1:
I've never used odin I am reading up on it now as far as I can tell you can't flash zip files so do you know any good roms I can use for my galaxy note?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Odin is used to push stock image files...

And they can be found in the super thread, at the top of the general section.

concentrate on getting a stock build running properly first, then we can worry about custom builds later.

This is the thread, and inside will be the file you need:

wow this is unbelievable when it went to reboot and never came back on and it makes the Microsoft Windows keep asking you need to format a disk in drive D before you can use it so itslight turning itself on in 3 seconds in 3 to 4 second intervals. then the computer started loading drivers for a Qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM now where would that come from?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] izdabombest1:
evidently from what i have gathered through many hours of reading and studying, i have hard-bricked my device. like i reported in previous post my computer will recognize it in short intervals. it continues to attempt to download drivers for Qualcomm CDMA.....but disconnects before finishing installing. one time ofter unplugging it left an icon that read.....oh i forget but i immediately looked it up and all reports from xda says that means a hard brick. called service provider and they are sending out new one but what happens when they recieve it and see that it has been rooted? i would really like to keep trying to save the phone i have. any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
If you are using files from our section, you must have the SGH-I717 device.

You mentioned CDMA. And although present in the chipset, this version of the note is a GSM device, and runs on the following networks respectively.

AT&T, BELL, ROGERS, TELUS, STRAIGHTALK, and carriers in far eastern countries....

Please link us the information on the Odin file you used to repair the device.

It appears you may have inadvertently pushed the wrong image. Perhaps for the N7000 ???

If that's the case, then the device will be hard bricked, and can be repaired using a JTAG repair service.

After you post the rom information, we will know for sure.

A general search for JTAG information will link you to several threads that talk about the service.

I'm sorry you are in this predicament, but for $50 U.S. dollars the device can be repaired.

I do not condone sending the device back under warranty, as it technically is not a defect, and is not the fault of Samsung or the carrier.

Good luck to you Sir.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] izdabombest1:
first off I would like to say thank you for all of your guys help.how do I send a link from the Odeon file that I used?and I am pretty positive that it is hard brick.I do not want to be dishonest in I want to resolve this on my own.oops I mean with your help of course.

okay i took your advice and sent the replacement back. your right if i can't spend $50 to save my $600 phone i shouldn't start on this road. however as thorough as i usually am i am not very organized. i started installing upgrades and little modifications for my friends and family as a little hobby. then other people started asking me for this and that, so i would help them. so, i have downloaded a LOT of things to my computer (ROM's, MOD's,, etc.) for different android phones and from different forums (now i only use software from xda) and i rarely delete or uninstall anything. needless to say my computer started to look like a teenagers bedroom. i have now started to organize things so i can get a better grip on what i'm doing so i can take this more serious. with that being said i can't remember exactly what file i used to flash with Odin. is there some kind of log that is automatically kept by Odin?.....i have decided to try to use a phone jig to get my phone to at least turn on. is that a wise move? i am studying all there is available on the ins and outs of phone jigs. if that fails i will send off to be JTAG'd. if there is any advise or info that you feel i could use please send my way. thank you.

oh one more thing i do not own any windows phone software or cdma software, but i was connected to my friends nokia lumia 822 hot spot when i flashed my phone. and that's when it went dead and popped up as a cdma devise. could that have anything to do with it? sounds farfetched but so does alot of things that we are capable of doing nowadays.

A clean and reliable PC environment is at least as important as the proper files.

Maintenance is king on any file structure...

And while I feel badly that your device was damaged, I applaud your choice in sending back the replacement device.

People forget that when these phone manufacturers take back damaged product under warranty, they increase the price of new devices to maintain the same profit margin.

We pay at the register for others mistakes.

Again, thank you for your honesty, and integrity in this matter.

And don't worry, the device will return quickly, and will run like new.

We are always willing to assist users here through the lessons we have learned, and it becomes much more gratifying when we know the caliber of the user we help.

You have earned high marks for your choices today, and stand with the most reputable Members of XDA ....IMHO

Should you need anything upon the return of your device, consider it done ...g

noticed that lulzactive drop to min fast to help saving more battery (but then ull get laggy with sm apps) so use smartassv2 wn u need ur phone not to drop fast to min and then change back to lulzactive wn ur dn (i always leave its min on 192 and kernel on lulzactive for deep sleep and normal use but shift to smartassv2 while on call or game or listening to music while screen is off) (actually i sometimes set max on 396 for deep sleep and light use "no multitasking" and it works with very few glitches)

Actually lulzactive is an optimized version of smartassv2 if i'm not wrong. It is almost as the same as brazilianwax. CMIIW

Sent From Viperized Sensation
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mosta_9741:
The difference is that lulzactive drops to min frequency much faster than smartassV2 specially wn screen is off (to get in deep sleep faster) which will make the sound interrupted and laggy (specially if u r using undervolted kernel) if ur listening to music or making a call while your screen is off , on the other hand wn trying the same preferences (same max and min freq and screen is off) on smartassv2 the sound of music or call isn't laggy anymore

so wt i concluded is use lulzactive to get in deep sleep faster while use smartassv2 to keep the foreground processes running smoothly while creen is off
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reddvilzz:
That is not caused by the lulzactive. It is caused by the min cpu frequencies. It depends on the kernel tweaks. If the kernel is optimized and you set the min cpu frequencies to the lowest it won't affect anything like music playing while the device is not on. But if it's not tweaked then when you set to 192 / 214 ( i don't remember the exact value but it is around that) the stable one is around 384 or you can set it to 412 it won't interrupt your music playing or phone cause i have used lulzactive for almost all the time when i use my wonder and didn't have this problem if i set it not to minimum. You can try to change it yourself to see the difference sometimes even 214 can be real smooth on some device. And undervolt doesn't have anything to do with it.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lcar210:
I'm not sure what to call it, but I was referring to the way the picture locks. It is a graphic that sort of looks forced and the screen turns off at both ends and meets in the middle, as if it was an old desktop monitor losing power. I would much rather have it lock exactly how it unlocks, in that it doesn't look like it's losing power. Maybe a gradual fade?

If there is an animation that changes this, maybe similar to the bootanimation, where would the file be and how would one go about changing it?

If you mean the crt style screen lock, you can't change it with stock. You can however download an app called Screen Lock by Katecca from play store which allows you to modify the animation when you press their icon on the screen. If you use the power button though, it remains th e same

Volume rocker wake works as long as the screen has been powered down recently, but after a few minutes the device won't turn unless you hit the power button.

I know that the power button is right besides it, but it's just something that I've grown accustomed to doing on my phone and see no good reason other than a bug in the nightlies as to why its not working. Does anyone have any insight as to why? Does this happen in PA and AOKP as well?

When I was unrooted on stock I would usually get about 16 hours a day on batter. I rooted and used stock rom and same battery life. My battery life started draining after I started flashing roms. I had goodness rom and had great battery life for about a week. Then it started draining like nuts. So I switched. I am now running on FREEGS3 I did a complete wipe and to no avail I get bad battery life. I used titanium backup and removed some bloatware but still only getting about 7 hours of battery life.
