[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandersn:
Sunday, I started having a problem where my phone (AT&T Galaxy Note 2) would bring itself out of the lock screen without me touching anything. The screen will stay on for 10-15 seconds and then shut off again. It will then stay off anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.

Very odd, right? I figured I downloaded a bad app that was causing the issue. I removed practically every app I could (I wasn't going to go through all of them to see which had permissions to bring the phone out of standby). It still kept doing the same thing.

So I did a hard reset on the phone. That should clear everything, right? The problem still kept happening.

I start thinking maybe it's a hardware issue... EXCEPT for it doesn't happen when the phone is in Airplane Mode! Which brings me back around to thinking it's some rogue app, but it still happens even when there's nothing but the default software installed from after a hard reset. It can't be the power button or a bad proximity sensor if it doesn't happen in Airplane Mode, right?

So I took it to the AT&T store and I didn't expect much. The one guy tried to play with my settings and didn't find anything wrong. He took it to the manager in the back room and the manager said I should do a hard reset (ignoring the fact that I told his employee I already had done so twice).

I've looked for answers online. The ones I've found I've tried. I've removed all applications. I've changed the screen time outs. I've even downloaded a Lock Screen replacement program. I've tried using anti-virus to scan for problems. It starts to happen again immediately after I perform the hard reset. I've moved the brightness settings. I've removed the S-Pen thinking it might be causing issues. I've turned on and off motion options. I've turned on and off wi-fi, GPS, screen rotation, multi-window, etc. Power Saving mode doesn't help. Blocking Mode doesn't help. The only thing that works is Airplane Mode.

I have NOT tried rooting my phone. I'm scared to do so, even though I'm a UNIX admin and a techie and shouldn't be scared of something like this.

Has anyone ever experienced this? I'm running whatever the normal, latest AT&T android version (4.1.2) for the Note 2. This is killing my battery and reducing screen life (is that a big deal though? I don't know).

[Windows RT General] Denis_63:
Having Asus Vivotab RT faced with the serious problem - Windows RT has no drivers for a big (even most part) of peripherals (scanners. printers, MFP, usb-cameras etc). Its very sad for so expencive device (+OS). Peripherals manufacturers, seems, are not interested in drivers development for Win RT :( Becose of that, I can't use most part of peripherals at home or office. I've been trying to use win 7(8) drivers, installing them by clicking right button on .inf-file. But this way was unrealizable. So, is there any other way to solve the problem with less of peripherals drivers for Win RT???
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Read microsofts various pages and blog posts.

Manufacturers are not allowed to make drivers for windows RT. The jailbreak tool we have doesnt allow drivers to be added either.

Scanners and usb cameras are not supported in windows RT at all. Printers are.

We cant fix this problem. New drivers can only be installed via windows update. Microsoft has to do them. Its also a very difficult task for them to write drivers for the huge amount of hardware on the market.
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
Oh, we *can* install drivers manually... it's getting them past the signature enforcement that's a trick.

I suspect that the same jailbreak hack we have now can be modified to bypass the kernel mode driver signature enforcement. Either directly put the OS into Testsigning mode, or spoof the results of the signature check, or something else of that nature.

Of course, then you're in the same place as the desktop software problem: you can only run ARM code, and almost nobody is writing ARM drivers for Windows NT. Unlike with desktop software, there's also very few open-source NT drivers. Non-zero, but very, very few.
[Windows RT General] Zephnath:
Scanner

HP has an app for scanning, but only works for network capable scanners. I've tried it with my home scanner, which is actually an Epson, and to my surprise it actually worked. The name of the app is 'HP Scan and Capture'.

As far as printing goes, I've been able to connect to about a dozen or so. My Epson at home, and all of the HP LaserJets at work. A few I had to manually select a driver, on the older models, but they all printed. But that is HP, other brands are probably harder to work into it.

Other than reading storage, the cameras have no support. That is a bummer, especially since tethering a pro dslr would be awesome.
[Windows RT General] asbestos:
My Brother network printer worked perfectly but my Kodak didn't. I did have to select the driver manually in both cases
[Windows RT General] Denis_63:
possible decision

So, may be there is possible way to resolve actual problem with poorest set of peripheral drivers (printers & scanners firstly) in win RT. The solution is to create some kind of the universal driver for all (most part of) printers with the simplest interface, containing minimal number of options. The main goal of those "unversal driver" is to make/force printer to print. The same way with scanners. If I'm not mistaken, such kind of work with peripheral is realized in some *unix-like OS.
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
This is what windows RT does already. Tries to apply a set of unified drivers to multiple devices. doesnt really work as there is no set USB protocol for printers, nor a network one. Scanners are even worse.

If you go in device manager you will find most mice and keyboards appear as a USB HID device of some sort. This is because in this case a set standard was created for how mice and keyboards (and a few other devices too) should appear to an operating system. One USB HID Keyboard driver should work for all keyboards using the USB HID Keyboard protocol, basically, all of them :P Certain additional functions like variable dpi on mice and extra buttons might not work with that basic driver but the keyboard/mouse itself will still function as a basic keyboard/mouse, just none of the fancy features.

Printers dont do that. HP have a protocol they use. Epson have their own protocol. Lexmark have one. A lexmark driver wont work on an HP unit. Hell, the drivers for models with different features dont always work on another similar but not identical model from the same manufacturer. This means a driver is needed for each device. Windows RT makes a damn good attempt at covering many bases but there are too many printers out there for microsoft to make that many drivers, gets even worse when you consider microsoft are working on drivers for hardware not manufactured by them although I guess they get help from the OEM.

There are standard interfaces for keyboards, mice and removable media. There aren't any for printers, scanners, wifi adaptors or 3g modems etc.
[Windows RT General] jhoff80:
There actually ARE standards for printers, like PS and PCL6. The problem is that for many of the cheaper printers, the manufacturers don't bother implementing them.

Also, Microsoft has implemented new class drivers for cellular modems, but the problem is that the older devices don't really support those.
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
May well be that microsoft are just supporting those 2 protocols then and hoping that the users printer complies with it.
[Windows RT General] jhoff80:
They didn't only use those, but they did rebuilt the print model. They then tried to cover a broad swath while at the same time knowing that they wouldn't cover all of them, at least partly because including a driver for every single printer ever would take a lot of work and a lot of storage space. They expected to cover 70-80% of the installed base of printers (whereas apparently Windows 7 only covered 60-65% out of the box), while cutting down storage by over half:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/07/25/simplifying-printing-in-windows-8.aspx

I know it's not really an answer for those with existing printers that don't work, but it is complicated to cover everything when manufacturers all have their own proprietary stuff (and often, multiple proprietary protocols, not just a single one for all their devices).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
Running Liquid Smooth ROM, and I'm not sure if it's the ROM or if it's Sprint but I seem to be getting pretty bad reception. Anything I could do to get better reception? Already did THIS, and it didn't seem to help. Thanks to anyone that can help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crevis24:
What modem are you currently using? Modems have a big cause/effect on signal strength
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jazz995756:
I noticed this too but it isn't a reception issue unless you go into settings and see a difference in the dBm otherwise what I do know is that touchwiz isn't really "true" signal it adds on a couple bars just so ur phone looks better but when u flash an aosp you get your true signal which with me ranges from 1-2 bars and if I'm next to a tower I get around 3 bars so its just the way aosp and touchwiz handles signal
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] porshce2:
You could call in to Sprint to see if a tower is down in your area, but if not you could try flashing a different modem or getting an AirAve from Sprint to boost your signal
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
Newest one... MA6.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crevis24:
Try a different modem to see if that helps. Newest doesn't always mean best when it comes to the modems
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Download sensorly and check the coverage maps in your area, maybe you're in a bad area

Hello,

I'm planning to implement some features which require modification of an sms before its sent out. Now.. AFAIK intercepting an outgoing message is not possible, and I don't want to go about developing an entire SMS app.

Hence, I was wondering if there are some messaging apps out there which allow plugins/extensions by providing some sort of API through which I can modify the outgoing text. Can anyone suggest something in this regard?

Of course, one possible way to go about would be to modify the open-sourced AOSP messaging app or some other open sourced messaging app to include my functionality. In that case can someone point me to such an open sourced app?

Stuck where? I would try flashing the kernel for the ROM in the nand and see if that does it.

Also, I've read conflicting info about whether you can restore a nand that was made before updating firmware with an RUU. If any resident experts can comment on this I'd appreciate it as I was going to post a thread asking this.

Did the RUU update yours or was it already running the same firmware?

Also, you were able to boot when on the RUU or no? If yes, you might just flash a ROM fresh rather than restore a nand.
