[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
So I installed one of the 4.2.2 ROMs on one of my N7s and had noticed a very slight screen flicker that occurs once in a while like the brightness is trying to adjust up and down quickly. It is very slight and hard to notice unless your using something with a light colored background. Out of curiousity I installed a few different 4.2.2 ROMs and a variety of kernels and the issue is always present. To test this further I tried the same things on my other N7 and end up with the same results. To test it even more and eliminate the possibility of it being something related to the devices being 3-5 months old I picked up a brand new 32gb N7 this morning, unlocked it, rooted it and installed some 4.2.2 ROMs and a bunch of different kernels and the same thing happens regardless of the combination of ROM and/or kernel. Has anyone else noticed this at all?

I am alluding to PRISM/SmartDimmer AS WELL as auto-brightness.

Thanks, this has been driving me crazy for 3 days. I searched for 4.2.2 flicker but there wasn't much for results.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocke_lulle:
I have noticed this issue as well. I didnt see it before 4.2.2 (im reading books on the tablet so I should have seen it before I think). The flicker is both with and without auto-brightness turned on but it is only noticeable on low brightness level. And because I havent seen it before 4.2.2 and you have tried it on three different devices it feels like it is software and not hardware related, at least we can hope so! Have you tried the suggested solution above and did it help you?

Does your suggestion work the same way as the app "NVidia Tegra PRISM Toggle" from playstore?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
As I understand it... Yes, that is correct... and the same setting can also be accomplished via TricksterMod (although it never seems to survive a reboot).

The fix posted above seemed to take care of the problem on all of the devices. I use S Manager for a few other scripts and just made a new one for this and have it set on boot. I actually placed a small widget on one of my home screens so I can just press if after boot up to make sure it is activated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocke_lulle:
Does this mean that something did change in 4.2.2 compared to 4.2.1 since neither one of us had the problem before the update?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
That's an interesting way of doing it.... it never occurred to me to set up a widget.

I just rely on the 'toast' message at boot, Smanager has been granted superuser permissions for an interactive shell... I know the script has been executed then.

Occasionally, I might use a filemanager with root access to examine...

/sys/devices/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable

...to ensure the value is indeed null (ie, 0, disabled and not 1, enabled)

Your widget idea guarantees the execution of the script... just by touching on it.

-----

And I always know when it hasn't worked... the screen brightness fluctuates like a cheap 40 watt lightbulb! (maybe I'm just sensitive to such things - my friends don't seem to see it).

Hi, jocke_lulle...

Well, I can't speak for others, but this issue has been a constant bugbear of mine, ever since 4.2 was rolled out in October/November of last year. I never had this problem with 4.1.x

...probably because 4.1 doesn't employ SmartDimmer... It just used AutoBrightness.

Why Google/Asus/Nvidia (SmartDimmer is their pet project) or which ever overpaid CEO thought implementing two wholly distinct and disparate battery saving schemes was a good idea, I'll never know.

Quite frankly, it's a dog's breakfast... and even a hungry dog would be loathe to eat it!

I use a couple different widgets for GPU OCing as well, it's quick and that way I know it's actually being executed. I also have the toast notifications for SuperSU turned off, here is my left home screen with the few script widgets.

I did root and install trickstermod. Even if i disable smartdimmer i can see that the screenlight is fluctuating. It does it even with autobrightness off. I also tried the script posted here but same thing.

[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Just uninstall it with titanium ! I used to uninstall it and i had never had any other problems. Try and otherwise restore it and look for a different option

Or just take out the Talk.apk in the system\app dir and copy it to your sdcard.

You can also disable the notification in Settings :)

Really torn right now between purchasing the Commuter case from Otterbox or picking up one of the UAG cases for my note 2. I see that the Otterbox offers a two layer case vs the UAG single layer. Also the Commuter has covers for the ports and the UAG does not. Also for those that do own either or both, which do you orefer and why?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
2 layers or a single molded layer - both offer very similar level of protection. I played with Commuter, but pass on it. Using UAG now. Too many advantages over Commuter. The back is less slippery, and has standoff "feet" to create friction with a surface; Commuter is easier to accidentally push/slide off the table with slippery surface (like grass top or granite). Also feels less slippery in my hand (UAG that is). One piece is a lot easier to take off if you need to change battery or remove card. Design of volume/power buttons is better and more responsive, like an external hardware buttons. It's lighter. Better design, looks a lot cooler and has customizable vent inserts. Don't care much about port plugs since I use my phone as GPS on a charger in a car and having micro-usb port cover is PITA. I feel Commuter inner rubber shell will get loose with time, already noticed pull around volume buttons where the rubber part was looser.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] eddie3130:
Honestly i was pulling towards the uag but i couldnt risk an wait for it to show up so just said buck it an got a commuter.. So far ive been realy happy with it. Size is good gives me a better grasp. A tad slippery but i got used to it now an got my way of holding it. Lip size around the edges is nice too realy would help incase phone fell screen down. Also comes with its own screen protector wich i botched the install since i suck at putting those on. An the biggest of all my conserns was the push buttons. On most of my cases on my old gs2 they were hard to push an this case there just rite.. not to soft nor to hard at all realy just perfect pressure to press. Better then my exs gs3 commuter wich is hard as shat to press the volume or power. I wouldnt put up with it if it was like that on mine.

I give it a 9/10. An only for the color choices aint the best style combinations that they coulda use but oh well not a deal breaker

sent from my Cricket Note 2
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] thejron:
Loved my s3 commuter but the note 2 version is now in the trash. That thing was a terrible fit and gradually got worse. Had a replacement that was the exact same. UAG looks like the clear winner right now. I will buy once the crazy pricing goes down.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chodie:
I had been eye-balling the UAG case, but the uncovered ports were what swayed me to the Commuter. All the **** that collects in the usb port when left uncovered has always made me paranoid. Needless to say I always look for cases that cover the ports.

I was previously using the Defender. That case has great protection and all, but the crap that builds up underneath the screen protector was what made me start looking else where. Seriously, $60 (after tax) for a case that's "dust proof'" that I have to clean inside of twice a week? Plus, the volume and power buttons were as hard as a girls nipples outside in the middle of winter with no shirt on to press down. It made me feel like I was constantly trying to use my manliness to squash the phone and case to pieces with my bare hands with each use.

I'm on day two with the Commuter and have noticed a little bit of slipperiness on the back depending what surface I put it on. But, who cares. You can place the phone face down so the rubber comes in contact with the surface so it doesn't slide. Or, even better, you don't put your phone on a surface that has such a steep grade that it slides right off. The ports are covered (as mentioned) and the buttons have a nice firm yet responsive feel to them.

All the edges seem to line up nicely for what feels to be a nice snug fit. We'll see when I get my glass from Mime if everything fits together nicely.

I really wanted to like to like the UAG. The overall design of the case is pretty cool. The corners with edges will pay dividends when bumped against something. However, the more I thought about it, the big advertisement of a logo all big in brushed aluminum was a little much. Mix that with the uncovered ports and it was enough to sway me to the Commuter.

This is turning into a rant, so good luck in your choice.:silly:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] AlphaNoble:
I have to go with the commuter here. Some of the previous reviews have pointed out that the back is slippery. While I would agree, I also think that is not too slippery, and it is much easier to put in and take out of pockets than the UAG. Also, the biggest thing that I disliked about the UAG besides the lack of port covers, was that it just felt awkward in my hand. The commuter is much nicer to hold IMO. Also my UAG case was less than snug, it just felt like the phone wasn't secure. Also, the Commuter I think offers superior protection. Just check out this video. The Commuter, for all realistic purposes, does protects the phone just as much as the defender (which I also have). I think the commuter is the clear winner here.

Also, for what it's worth, Otterbox is the best mobile accessory company out there. Their customer service is quick & friendly. I have contacted them through both phone and email, and I have never received any service less than stellar, unlike my experience with UAG. I preordered my UAG case and was shocked at how little contact UAG had with me, as a preorder customer, especially considering how long the case was delayed.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] thejron:
My commuter also bent my charging port with its stiff port cover. Had to cut it off after my phone was replaced and then the left side of the phone began popping out. The Otter box hit the trash immediately.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jbreeze228:
I loved my commuter when I first got it but now I hate it. The silicone is made out of cheap material, two weeks old and it's already tearing. The back is very slippery. I sometimes have trouble fitting my usb plug into the slot because the silicone gets in the way. Haven't had the usb bend yet as some have reported. The headphone jack on the commuter is not big enough for some of the plugs I use. I order the UAG case and it will be in tomorrow. I had the UAG on my S3 and I know what a terrific case it is. When my UAG comes in I'm throwing the commuter away.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] BlueGoldAce:
I have had a commuter, a few other cases, and the UAG.

The Uag was my clear favorite. It is slim enough, but offer comparable protection to the commuter. The commuter was just too heavy and thick. The Uag is slimmer, and noticeably lighter.

I'd recommend Uag over the computer with out pause... Build, looks, and overall quality. But that is simply my opinion and nothing more.

I had seidio active... The magnet kickstand messed up the stylus.

I had a incipio dual pro shine. Great case that added protection, but not as much as the two you listed above. It so scratched so easy and looked like horrible in a week.

The Uag is my final case I believe. If your not sold on either, look into the trident aegis. I oersonslly don't like the way it looks, not even a little bit. But it is getting g great reviews by people here and the people who own it seem to prefer it. Maybe it looks better in person.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] AlphaNoble:
Call or email Otterbox. This should not be the "case".

Haha. See what I did there?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jbreeze228:
Lmao. Nicely done sir.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Mandroidified:
Anyone know if UAG Allows wireless charging or does it affect it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] endo689:
So I settled on the commuter case and have got to say I am pretty happy with it. Doesn't make the phone all that much bigger and having the port covers is a plus. Although we will see I'm pretty sure I will end up getting the UAG case as well so I can try them both out. :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jbreeze228:
Literally just got my UAG case in and it was effing awesome! It's so easy to hold and grip versus the commuter I was scared would fall out of my hands because it was so slippery. The buttons are a lot easier to push. Love how you can change the vent colors but rockin the orange for now. The only area the Otterbox wins in is the size of the spen cut out. Other than that there is no comparison between these two. Don't see myself using any other case. Great job UAG.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] universexda:
Please let us know how it goes with the MIME glass screen protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mmessina:
I have both cases and must say UAG wins. Top it off with mime, excellent product with outstanding support :o
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sdotagain:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Wadecarlson:
UAG is very light and is easy to put on or take off. It has military standard drop. Heat vents keep your phone cool. Easy to hold. Looks good if you like the rugged look. Last a long time. I have a uag case from 4 years ago that still looks great today.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] genralcody:
Sawdust in your port

Covered ports may seem unnecessary, but when I was working at radioshack, an old man came in and said his phone wasn't charging right. I assumed it was the cord (because that is the case 9 times out of 10), but the cable was perfectly fine. I then checked the USB port, and it looked like someone shoved white playdough in the port and shoved it down. As I pick it out, I discover it was sawdust that was left in there and shoved down over time. The phone worked fine after that.

I'm on tapa talk so I can't see your sig, but I'm assuming that it says that you need to do a hardware hack.

People unless you see tmobile or t889 it's not going to work. The tmobile version of the note 2 is missing a little chip that allows wireless for some reason. Unless there is a software workaround that hasn't been pushed wireless is a no go.

Any help on how to get WiFi calling working on the G2X? I'm running CM7 (Gingerbread) with T-Mobile.

Turned on WiFi, started the WiFi app, clicked On, and it just keeps saying Please wait while connecting to T-Mobile Network. Never enables it.

Help!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Do you have a strong wifi signal? Also try removing the sim, placing back in and retrying. Did it work in the past?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
Yes, I have a strong WiFi signal - standing next to my router.

I've never enabled WiFi Calling on my G2X before. I'm not even sure if I'm doing it right - I went into the CM7 "WiFi Calling" app and selected On.

I'm also curious as to whether or not my build of CM7 supports WiFi calling (CM7 Nightly #225) or is buggy?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TwitchyEye:
I think maybe you should first try a less ancient build.

I do remember to do a backup before flashing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Did you get the phone second hand? Or did you get a new sim when buying it. Some old Sims didn't activate properly with wifi calling.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
@redmonke255, got the phone in 2011, I got a new SIM a few months ago - it's the TM9177. Google tells me this SIM has problems with WiFi calling, but I'm going to call T-Mobile support to be sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
You know, it seems like T-Mobile has me change my SIM card for one reason or another 2x a year. I'd like to understand ALL the different types of SIM cards, so I can ask for exactly the card I need. But after a long search, it seems a mystery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
O.K., spoke to T-Mobile support. Figured out that actually my SIM supports WiFi calling, but I need to change my baseband from v21e to v21y.

Now I gotta figure out if I can safely use GetRIL to install the v21y baseband without compatibility problems, or do I need to flash the latest ROM first, or what?
