[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lyvewire:
I'd say the top myself. I did like that on the HTC phones. I've gotten used to it now though. I'm 6'3 myself and can also palm the ball. So this phone doesnt seen big to me. If it goes a little bigger I'll def. be ok with it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] austin420:
No
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] samsmalls:
No, right hand, right thumb, right SIDE! Otherwise it would be a HTC, and we all no matter how sweet they look they are not Samsung! Which is why we are all in this Forum :)....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] thegregbradley:
I too prefer it on the top, except with this large phone. It makes sense due to the largeness. However, it's nearly impossible to hand an Android phone to an iPhone user without them pushing SOMETHING on the phone. Forget about sharing pictures, ha. Power button on the top would help with that, but it's a minor complaint. I still want real buttons for the home/back/menu area, they're too easy to press by accident. But I think I'm in the minority here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wbchristmas:
NO!!!

:mad:

I left HTC because of that top power power button crap!!

:p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skunk Ape1:
Nope... I for one, hate the power button on top. I like it right where it is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
I am kinda upset I can't turn it on yet via mind control, but I'll take it on the side in the meantime.

It'll be easier on the side anyway when the Note 3 comes out with its 27 inch screen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
You can't do it through mind control? Man that sucks for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neonsector:
its easier to get to tit on the side on the note 2, the sg3 would be ok.

I got gorilla mitts and its still impossible to get to the top of the note 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Epix4G:
I like HER on top :p:p:p:p but to heck with htc and the lack of care for their customers .... and its easier to have power button on the side for one handed use

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jarannis:
I quite like it on the side, actually. I went from HTC to the Epic 4g and what I'd found was that although I like it better on the side, it is still large enough that I have issues accidentally pressing it. I think smaller would be better, but it's okay the way it is. I also kind of wish the volume buttons didn't protrude as much, but that's a minor gripe compared to how much I LOVE this phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] anishannayya:
You naturally grip the phone with the button on your thumb, if you are right handed. Placement anywhere else would be stupid, and make you liable to drop your phone.

You can always use the home button to wake your phone if the side button bothers you.

EDIT:

I'll bite. Let's get real here, Apple has far better grounds to sue on. Like, IDK, maybe the fact that my phone looks like a jumbo-sized iPhone? Or that Touchwiz is sort of a rip off of the classic Apple UI? They aren't even trying to hide it. It's right down to the USB cable, headphones, and packaging. Let's call a spade a spade here. Samsung has made a fantastic product, but that doesn't mean they didn't take someone else's core design and improve on it. The irony is strong with that one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] simply dave:
I used to hate the button on the side b/c I kept accidentally pushing it. after 1 day I got used to it + it makes sense for a phone with a screen size this big.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
When the first S1 came out I thought it was stupid. After about day 2 I was so used to it when I played with other people's phone I'll try to press power from the side when it was at the top. I honestly feel the side button was a smart decision. It just feels weird at first from all the years we spent with power buttons on top with past phones. From the way we hold every phone the side button is just more ideal.

Then LG should have the better ground to sue. Or are we forgetting the LG Prada? You know the phone Apple stole the concept from.. It's always been this way in the mobile industry. Apple just got sue happy and tried to stiff the competition to keep their pockets fat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] d12unk13astard:
What, gtfo here! If it ain't broke don't fix it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] anishannayya:
Both phones came out at roughly the same time, it's safe to assume that they were developed independently. Really, though, there was no comparison between the two. Samsung, on the other hand, really did "copy" Apple. Is it a similar enough likeness for Apple to sue? Depends. More ridiculous court battles have certainly been fought.

People try too hard to hate on Apple. There is plenty of crap they do wrong, and false arguments detracts from them.

Anyways, too much OT.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] a454nova:
It's good on the right. I think there should be a usb at the top and bottom. The N3 better have a IR blaster. That would be so cool. I also wish it would know when I close the flip cover.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mr.pope:
I think they put it in the right place. I just switched from a thunderbolt to the note 2. They had a little sticker at the top of the note 2 where the power button on the tbolt was. My fingers kept finding that sticker. It was very frustrating for the first hour or so, but I think I have retrained myself. I pulled the sticker off and that seems to have helped quite a bit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ddavis300:
I'm getting use to the power button being on the side now...at first I wishing it was on top
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lfrp:
Im left handed so is great for me where it is, on the side.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] matchge:
me 2, prefer it on the top as well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] beefers1:
I prefer it at the top, but only because I'm left-handed and holding my phone, my left index finger naturally rests on the power button on the right side of the top. I should note that I probably have the smallest hands of any 5'9" person in the world (I can barely handle a basketball, let alone palm one, though I can shoot it decently). The right-side volume rocker is also perfect for my one-handed use. Seriously, I feel like they designed this phone for left-handers, even though I know how crazy that sounds.

I can see how right-handers may not like this placement, but instead of having the power button on the side, why not place it on the left side of the top, for your index finger? To me, that seems much more intuitive than using your thumb. Is phone size really an issue here? If my tiny hands can easily reach the top of a 4.3" phone while holding it, I don't see anyone with normal-sized hands having trouble with 5" or so phones.

Here's how I hold my phone; is it not the same for you right-handers (except mirrored, of course)?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeyLee:
Yes they should and they should move the headphone jack to the bottom.

2 weeks back i installed the 'AOKP(Jellybean 4.2.1) | Task650 (1/22/13)' on my i777. Today i just check for any update build and it shows as a new build 1777(4.1.2 JZO54K) build 12.2.2012 is available. Download it.

But the same is not mentioned in AOKP thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574718&highlight=update+available) ..

Anybody tried this updated ?? is it safe to update it ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ehard24:
12/2 is his 4.1.2 build. It is older than the 4.2.1 that you are running. It is not an update but is a very stable build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hitchb:
Don't use OTA update in the 4.2.1 ROM. It's not working, as you found out. You have the latest build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sbrown23:
New 4.2.2 task ROM is out, see the thread in the Development forum. Do a full wipe and install that one. It's solid so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alasdair1308:
The only problem I've had from the AOKP 4.2.2 3/13/13 is every time I end a call I get a message that reads "The Process com.android.phone Has Stopped"

other than that, its a great ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shawn:
Try clearing phone app data, if still not resolved do a full wipe(including system.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alasdair1308:
Before I saw your post, I re-flashed the latest G-Apps and now I don't have any flaws. Everything works wonderfully. apparently it was something to do with G-Apps... I don't know if the "Phone" app is a part of G-Apps or or if something was formatted when I re-flashed the G-apps package, but that seemed to fix it...

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

When that message would pop up I would lose all signal till it refreshed and would come back and stay back until I ended a call then without fail "The Process com.android.phone Has Stopped" and I'd lose all signal, it also did it at startup as soon as I'd unlock my phone.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
1. Download MTK6577 Drivers.zip and unzip/extract on your Windows PC, just run InstallDriver.exe to install drivers.

2. Download CWM Recovery v6.0.2.8 + scatter.zip and SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1220.02_FOR_S101A.zip , unzip/extract them.

3. Now open extracted SP Flash Tool folder and run Flash_tool.exe

4. Click on "Scatter-loading" button which is on the right side below Downloading Agent. A new window will open. Browse to the extracted CWM Recovery v6.0.1.5 + scatter folder and select MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt file.

5. Flash tool will populate the Map file on the application window. You will see multiple entries. Uncheck all entries except for RECOVERY.

6. Now click on "Download". Warning message will occur, but ignore that and click Yes.

7. You will see in the status bar below "Searching", now connect your phone (with battery inserted + Press and Hold Volume Up Key) via the USB cable.

8. Wait for the process to finish and then you will get a window showing green circle.

Congrats You have flashed CWMR !

Note: If you get any error in SP Flash Tool, then recheck your MTK drivers installation or manually install them through device manager.

Booting into CWM recovery is the same as in the stock recovery. Switch on the phone with "Volume Up" and "Power" button Pressed. The Phone will boot into CWM!

I have also attached the the Stock Recovery.zip.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlokpatel:
I have a kindle fire which wasn't doesn't connect to the computer. I get an error message such as "USB device not recognized". I had rooted the kindle fire and I thought that this problem could have been because of the rom or some kind of kernal error so I installed the stock rom thinking that I will just re-root if however the connection problem still was still there. So now I have kindle fire which is not rooted so doesn't have google market and I want to root it however cannot find a way to get it connected. I have tried 3 different computers and many different cables however still no success. I have also tried reinstalling the drivers, turning off and on the kindle fire with the cable plugged in. Could the port on the kindle fire be broken even though it charges fine. Also, would a factory cable help because I don't want to order it if it doesn't work. What other options do I have? I live in UK and this kindle fire is the 1st gen which was only available in US so cannot send it to amazon for checking.

Your help will be appreciated :good:

Do you have TWRP installed? If so, try connecting it to the computer using the USB mount via TWRP...

I have 3 Kindle Fire tablets that I installed a JB ROM on for some friends, and one will not connect to the computer (except via TWRP). I never did figure out why, but I could copy a ROM and Gapps to it while in TWRP. I set them all up the same, and that one still doesn't connect.

In simple terms they both can be used. The MMC is marginally cheaper, the SD has some security stuff on it.

[Asus Transformer TF700] djmulder:
Well been studying movies on the innards of the TF700T (haven't touched mine yet for that tho!). And I noticed some "brackets" on the connection end of the tablet to the dock, with this I noticed I don't have them on mine.

Now... this wouldn't be a issue but lately the tablet seems to fall out of the dock very easily. It's not that it's loose or anything but well not locked. Not a nightmare, but I had some near accidents due to this several times (picking it up and the keyboard falling off or the other way around). So well it got me wondering, are those brackets broken for me? Or is this standard?
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
Are you talking about the black plastic plugs that "plug" the connector holes to keep dirt out? Even if you had them you'd need to remove them to use the dock. Some dock/tablet combos do not lock just by pushing them together(well documented here) and you need to manually pull the tablet lock switch into position.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Mine no longer docks securely at all, so I double-sided-taped it to the dock. ;) Known issue, and it happens with little use of the docking mechanism per se. More and more people are reporting exactly this, and ASUS washes its hands in innocence... :S
[Asus Transformer TF700] destroyer333:
Make sure the lock switch reaches the end, if not then its not fully secure. Theres a problem with the keyboard where the little tab that the tablet is suppose to push down when docked doesn't get pushed down because it can't reach it. Thats why when you hold the tablet part the dock would fall right off. Use a pen and play with that little tab and you will see the black slot locker. I'm thinking of finding something to stuff it so that when i dock the tablet and the extra thing i add would push the tab down and lock fully.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Both these little black have completely broken off on my dock -- no rescueing possible by pushing whatever other part. :)

I want to develop an app with the following design:

The app will have some permissions (for example A- read the contact list B- use the Camera C- use the GPS location)

I want the app to contain 3 Mini apps that each of the mini apps has different permission. (Each of the mini app when activated download data from my server and request permissions, and I want that each one of the mini apps could get access only to one permission)

Can I do that ? how complicated the solution would be?
