[NFC Hacking] wkarraker:
Yes, NFC extenders/extensions are easy to build, I've built dozens for our marketing company. All you need to do is have a close approximation of the size and shape of the antenna and a matching length of wire on the other end. I use 32 gauge magnet wire and 3D printed forms, it allows me to move the 'hot spot' from the back to the side or top of the tablet. I use Gorilla tape to adhere the coil in position on the back, no modifications to the tablet are required.

I want to make an extender to move the distance by about six inches. Any tips would be greatly appreciated...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friend.evil:
hi each time i flash an AOSP it doesn't show the boot animation it just goes shows Samsung N7100 screen and then black screen could someone please tell me the reason

thank you.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Improper flashing.

Are you on a carrier phone?

They often have locked bootloader
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friend.evil:
sorry i should have added more info it boots normally just the bootanimation doesn't show up, in custom ROMS like omega's boot animation showed up just fine but in all AOSP it doesn't any suggestions would really be appreciated
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] habile:
I have this problem also. It's an international N7100, sim free. I found that after flashing and when it boots the screen flashes random lines etc. then goes blank but the ROM does boot, you have to be sure to turn the screen off and back on. It's quite annoying!

I hadn't realised it was just AOSP ROMs - Omega 11 and CapModN2 I tried recently were fine...

I also couldn't get into CWM recovery after flashing AOSPs unless I installed TWRP after booting.

Would be great to know what's going on - almost seems like the display is not initialised properly.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T511:
Also have the same problem. Tried cm 10.1 and no boot animation... but it boots up and work normal
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
I think you peeps need mega wipe or pit file or something.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retrorom:
I don't know what kernels are included in these roms, but if I remember correctly, the kernel has to support custom bootanimations, otherwise it won't show any. But I'm not sure about this...

Anyway here is a thread about how to add custom bootanimation to ANY rom...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlada:
same thing

i have same problem... just weird lines flashing across the ( samsung galaxy note 2 gt n7100) screen... it is reallly annoying...

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

custom boot animation doesnt fix anything, i tried it...kernels also have nothing to do with this since i tried flashing several and still had same problem...i flashed the same rom(cm 10.1) to my friends phone... it worked normally...something is messed up with system files!! dont know what...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leoul:
I have the same exact problem. I tried to install custom boot animation but it is always the same the screen flickers and then stays black till a while.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T511:
Had the same problem.Tried to install cm 10.1 gapps and Thor Kernel 0.15 LSI ..... cm 10.1 booted normal with bootanimation and worked great. Anyway returned to Stock .
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlada:
solution

Tried flashing bootloader ddnt work!! Anyway thor kernel 0.15 lsi[banned from xda for stealing from developers]fixes the bootanimation issue(100%)!! Just one question .. anyof u face wifi issues (stuck on obtaining ip address)with the custom roms?? Please reply and thank if issue fixed :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlada:
Thor kernel 0.15 lsi fixes the issue
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sholsten:
My N7105 Hong Kong version does the exact same thing. Flickering boot animation when it starts up and then appear and then it goes dark till it boots all the way. :confused:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdogguk:
I had this with AOSP roms. I found the way to fix it was with NEAK 1.7.x kernel. Make sure you get the AOSP one for obvious reasons.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T511:
There is no need to modify kernel to boot up cm10.1 normally with boot animation.

Solved installing Philz Recovery. Cm10.1 now installs and boots normally without any kernel modification .
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] habile:
thanks for the tips, I too found Philz Recovery allows the animation/recovery to load correctly - would still be nice to understand why it doesn't work with CWM based recovery... although right now I'm very happy with CaponMod and the Perseus kernel
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HD2FORNICK:
Everyday, there is a thread about someone bricking his phone or some other issue. Why isn't there a thread as a sticky for noobs trying to root this complicated device? Every other Android device I owned had one. This is what would help.

1) Identifying what phone you have i.e. Maxx,Razr,909,910,912, etc.

2) GSM or CDMA

3) What rooting method for what phone.

4) What recovery for what phone.

5) What kernels and ROMS for what phone.

I am sure this is available somewhere but it is very scattered at the moment and what i available is not very succinct. It seems as though this is the most easiest phone to brick and maybe this can be avoided by having a simple sticky here to which users can post to. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 85gallon:

This simple battery calibration app will make sure you get the best battery life possible. Just run it every time you flash a new Rom and aren't happy with the battery life. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Devhux:
Why the heck would I install an app when I can just go into recovery and do the same thing? Also, the whole battery calibration thing has been debated a fair bit in various XDA threads, and I'm not so sure it really does much.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
A) This app has been around forever.

B) How does the app help you "drain your battery"?

C) If someone wants to drain their battery ASAP, then just run "Stability Test". That app will drain my battery waaay fast, even if it's plugged in.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
"help your battery drain tremendously"

"help.. Battery drain"

Help is a synonym of aid. If I wanted to say it made your battery drain faster I would have entitled this "app to assist your battery drain tremendously"

Seriously... If you are that ignorant do not comment on things.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wheemer:
Who is the one that is ignorant? You have ignored all the talk about the fact that battery calibration is not needed for the S3.

Also your thread title is ridiculous and implies that this app would help drain your battery, which is the opposite of what people want.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I took an average of my battery life for a whole week at work. It was pretty consistent every day. I then reset my battery stats. Took another average. I got pretty close to identical numbers.

I use to believe resetting battery stats was important. It is not. Just give the rom a day to settle after flashing that's all. Calibrating your battery is a complete waste of time.

I get that and MORE screen time with out this...

Showing battery time doesn't really prove anything... 25% screen time from all those hours really isn't much.. Its only 5hours...

And by the looking at your chart you actually plugged your phone in to charge a couple of time to get those times...

I get 12 hours on battery with 8hours screen time... Just by tweaking out the kernel... With out "calibrating" the battery................. With out charging lol

Once again, that doesn't prove anything...

This is a placebo and nothing more.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] otoolerc:
Nah, bud, I think he's got you. Or something...

Anyway, your title appears as though you're saying, somewhat ironically, "Install this app if you want to see your battery drain tremendously".

Punctuation is a tremendously strong additive to a sentence, which, if applied properly, tremendously (and subtly) emboldens the text of which you've written.

I've gotta say this thread is absolutely hilarious and entertaining. Just out of curiosity I'm going to give it a shot to see if it helps, though I'm guessing it's bs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ViciousDiarrhea:
I agree that your title is misleading.

Maybe if you reworded to "App to help battery draining issue" then it'd be fine.

And i used to use these kinds of apps but realized that if I didn't use it the battery lasted the same as if I did use it.

I'm on AOKP and I think task360 himself has said that it isn't needed, it just takes the ROM a few days to settle in; it does.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] penguinjoe:
You guys realize that calibrating a Li-Ion battery requires that you do a few full discharge and fill recharge cycles, right? So what is the point behind a battery calibration app? To help you discharge your battery quickly.

I use quick discharge apps myself when breaking in a virgin battery. To me this 'calibration' app is really nothing morte than a battery run-down app to help speed the full discharge side of the calibrations.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AznDud333:
SO ive figured this out a while back but never got the chance to post it.

If you put our note 2 beside a different galaxy series phone(anything older than s3) you'll notice that they display a darker black in a completely black environment, but our phone also has significant to no mura present.

This lead me to thinking, why wont our phone display black? It took a while but i realized that it isnt the oleds that are defective, but rather the TFT behind them cannot be 100% pure(meaning, it cannot be 100% of a certain material) and for that reason some of it could not operate under a certain voltage.

So how is samsung fixing this? Well, they make it so that in the darkest environments, the oleds always get a certain voltage, which results in black not being 100% black(still better than lcds, but we no longer get "infinite contrast"

just putting this out there, if anyone was ever curious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] G1Master:
Hmm very interesting indeed. I thought Note 2 had a different kind of Screen technology out of the whole galaxy series? Would that be a reason as well?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AznDud333:
well, the note 2 uses a new kind of pixel arrangement, so it is full RGB like the phones before nexus/s2, but that doesnt really have much to do with this...it's still based off TFT
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AznDud333:
its not the manufacturing process that improved

thing is, when the material sint pure enough, some parts of the thin film transistor will not be able to transmit enough power, while others can

this results in some oled getting enough voltage to display say..gray while others display complete black

what happens is that sammy upped the voltages, so the black is now an uniform gray

edit: btw..there is no correction of aging for oled display

only compensation..and tbh witht he direction oleds are going its really not necessary...in the next 10years we should be able to print it off our printer..so it'll be pretty disposable :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
Quality has improved though.

Right, there is only compensation, slipped my mind, with the same article I posted above, the AMOLED displays are improved with compensation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctA114zaY98

When I mentioned manufacturing, I meant that Samsung's method of making slightly better AMOLED displays has been accomplished by changing the voltage and better quality control handling.

The material has been slightly improved; the material used on today's AMOLED displays is purer than let's say the material that was used on the S2 and Note 1.

Is this the proper firmware to use for this?

TY. It shows the Sony Logo, then Xperia logo for few seconds and restarts.

[Windows 8 General] mojorisin7178:
Okay so I just decided to upgrade from win 7 to win 8 pro. I ran into some issues. I had to make several attempts I was having monitor issues. Actually it was stupid everything went fine but I have a dvi monitor and a hdmi tv hooked up I only use the tv when watching videos or movies but I guess that it defaulted to the hdmi device because I got a blank screen on my monitor but I could see the mouse. I had the tv off do I didn't realize iut but it was working fine on that until I got online and it automatically found the driver for the monitor. So anyway that problem is fixed but somehow in all my attempts I must have installed win 8 two times because when I boot it gives me the option of two different win 8 like if I had fedora or ubuntu installed but with two win 8. so I figured no problem just delete one. So I went into the disk tools and found the partition manager but it only shows two partitions. the small system partition that has to be there and my c partition with win 8.

Can two versions of windows be on the same partition? Does anyone know how to find the other copy? I always select the first one on the list.

Oh my pc is a dell xps 410 and it is an old man. But it is still going strong with upgrades

core 2 duo 1.86 ghz 4 gig ram 64 bit os I have had every release of windows since xp sp3 currently win pro.

I appreciate any help you guys can give me

[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
It may just be listed twice in the bootloader. Use bcdedit (as admin) and check each entry. You should find two "Windows Boot Loader" entries. Each will have a device, path, osdevice, and systemroot listed (among other things). If those all contain the same value between both entries, there's no files to delete. Next check for any other differences; there may not be any meaningful ones (the identifier is not meaningful). If you don't see any reason to keep both of them, delete one. You can use "bcdedit /? delete" for help.
[Windows 8 General] mojorisin7178:
Thank you for your help with this. Where would I type bcdedit? Is there a start box somewhere like in 7 and I haven't seen it yet?; I am still not too familiar with 8 yet I just got it but I will have it down in no time.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
It's a command line tool. Just right-click on the Start button (mouse to lower left corner, then right-click) and choose "Command Prompt (Admin)" to launch an admin prompt (you can also do it from Start search the same as on Vista or Win7; just open the Start screen and type "cmd" or "command" and it will appear; right-click and choose "Run as Administrator").

The "Run" dialog is also still present - Win+R displays it, as it has for years - but with the new Start right-click menu (which can also be accessed via Win+X) I find I haven't needed it much.
[Windows 8 General] mojorisin7178:
wow I see there is alot that I have to learn about win8 thank you for all the tips. Is there a good guide out there that any of you would recomend? I usually learn best when people tell me but if I am interested enough (like I am with this) I can learn from a book.
[Windows 8 General] mojorisin7178:
Well here is what I get when I typed it in. I could not copy and past the text so I took a whole window snipit. Okay I cant seenm to figure out how to put it in. I would hate to have to type that all. I used the windows snipit tool. So can someone tell this idiot how to attach the pic. I saved it to my desktop. Do i use insert image and type the path to my desktop? why cant I just copy the text and past it. The would be easy darn it.

Charlie
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
To copy out of the terminal, right-click, select Mark, then highlight the text and right-click. You can then paste it elsewhere as normal. It's also possible to set QuickEdit mode on CMD (in Properties), which allows marking without first selecting it by right-click.
