[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezra78:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that I purchased last year. There's been a lot of talk (last fracking year) about Miracast, WiDi, and how great it will be to mirror my device. Here we are in May 2013, and the tech is still garbage or non-exstent. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me. Here's the scenario:

My family (like many of yours) is completely perplexed by the function of a TV remote's "Input" button. Once they have to change the input on the TV, all hell breaks loose and I end up having to "fix" everything by pressing the input button to get the TV to the right input again. My family currently owns 2 iPhones, an iPad, and an iPod. I built a Windows 7 Media Center PC with a 5.1 speaker system that we use as our cable receiver, 3D Blu-ray player, media streamer, music player, and AppleTV receiver. Since everything is built into that one box, no one has to change an input, and all is harmonious. The main focus is the AppleTV receiver feature, which is accomplished using a program called AirServer. It's great because anyone can click on the Airplay button on their iDevice and a window automatically pops up on the PC, maximizes, and mirrors the iDevice. No changing inputs. Great, right?

I, however, have a Galaxy Note 2, and the one feature I desperately want is garbage on this device: mirroring. I don't want to stream something through DLNA (because only a limited amount of files/formats/apps support it). I don't want another box sucking up power and requiring me to switch inputs on both my TV and speaker system. All I want is to mirror my device to my PC in the same manner that Airserver lets me mirror an iDevice on my PC. So far, this seems bleak and far-fetched. There are no PC software options to mirror my Android device onto a PC. Besides, even if I were to buy a dongle, the Samsung Allshare Cast dongle is quite possibly the most infuriating piece of crap I've ever used. It stutters, pixelates, and puts my audio/video so far out of synch that it's useless. On top of it all, my Wifi (for internet, on the Note 2) disconnects when using Miracast/WiDi. I tried the Netgear PTV3000, which is also a stuttering, unreliable mess of a device. I'm also not going to root my device. It's 2013, and I shouldn't have to sacrifice receiving OTA updates because Google dropped the ball.

So here's the question

: is there a way to mirror my Android device on a PC without rooting or buying another box/dongle? I'd like to keep my Android phone, but I'm switching back to Apple if September rolls around and I'm still going through this. I'm not a fan of the company, but Airplay mirroring just works. No downloading 20 video players and 6 codec packs. No out-of-synch issues with audio. No dropped WiFi. No family members complaining that they "broke" the tv because it's on the wrong input. I want all that on my Android phone.

Thanks

Then I would just go back to apple. As this feature will always be manufacturer spicific so you will have to do it the way that OEM requires and alot of android things will never play well with anything apple. Mainly not Samsung.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezra78:
Yup, it sure seems that way. Samsung stuff only seems to work with other Samsung products. My options are that crappy dongle they make or buy a $1500 TV just to mirror my phone. No thanks.

My biggest complaint about Apple now is the damn lightning connector. I get why they made the 30-pin dock connector when they did, but Micro USB has been around for a while and has the bandwidth to handle everything going in and out of that phone. Making another proprietary connector was just a huge slap in the face to consumers everywhere.

Hi guys yesterday i manage to remove the sdcard from my phone cause i was having trouble with the device having it get stuck on the htc green letters white screen and i saw that if you remove the sdcard your phone would work, so that's what i did, but now my phone doesnt do anything, when a press the power button the phone vibrates but the screen stays black and you can see a little light on the device but nothing more, and when i put back the sdcard on the phone, it gets very hot.

Did a damage my phone in a bad way?? :/

To me, it seems you may have knocked something lose inside. Did you hear a clicking sound, when you inserted the SD card? If not, you may have not fully inserted the SD card.

Hey guys. This is my 2nd android but I never bothered rooting my 1st (MT4G).

My note 2 is rooted already and I am thinking of trying out some ROMs.

I have ZERO knowledge on this and I got some questions and I will really appreciate some brief explanation.

I've seen a prefix or tag saying [Official] or [Unofficial] on ROM thread titles when browsing development forum sections. What are the differences between the two? What are the pros and cons on using them?

What is the difference between the Original Android Development and the one without "Original"? Can I get or download ROMs from either of them?

When I look at this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2102380, there are links for Factory Image, Odexed, Deodexed, Kernel and Modem. What are these? Do I need all these in flashing ROMs?

I know there might be some existing thread as well explaining the above. A link of that will do and I'll just ask again if there is something I dont understand. I tried looking up but some I found doesn't explain most of the above.

But in case some of you got some time to explain, that will be the best :) TIA!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moto211:
The easiest way for me was to ODIN flash a stock ROM with root injected and then install goomanager and use that to flash twrp. From there you can flash through recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinda628:
Hi thanks for the reply. I was really hoping to understand those questions I listed above. If someone can point me to some link or if someone is free to give some insight.

I've seen some steps in Youtube and it really look simple but I was hoping to get some ideas about my OP.

My question #3 is really the most confusing to me. Thanks again in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moto211:
#1 and #2 are addressed in the stickies. Regarding number #3, I only have a loose understanding of what it is and why a ROM is deodexed and wouldn't want to confuse you with bad information. I don't want to be an ass or sound smug but if you don't know what factory images, kernels, and modems are and can't take the time to read and learn for yourself, you shouldn't be flashing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinda628:
Hey guys. No worries. I appreciate the honesty. I was just overwhelmed by the volume of information so I acted a bit lazy searching but I found some brief explanations about some of my questions just after I posted my last reply.

I honestly felt bad asking when there are so much info on the net when I try:(

Just another question. I read that most ROMs usually requires wiping data before flashing and doesn't recommend restoring backups from lets say Titanium BU after flashing. This means I have to re-download all my play store apps and re-install. Is there really no way of restoring backed up apps after flashing atm?

Thanks again for the patience.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
You can use titanium backup. Some devs just suggest not restoring your app data, but the apps are okay. Now I personally do restore all my app data with titanium and never have a problem. As a reminder this is user apps don't do system apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
I go one step further with TiBu. I'll restore specific system things like, Android ID (my employer's exchange server is very picky), dialer storage and wireless access points if I am in the same version of Android. I *hate* losing my mms messages and wifi setups.

If things are goofy after then I restore a nandroid I pulled immediately prior to the system apps restore.

Rarely do I have a problem.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilipTD:
When I first started modding, I had so much trouble when I restored from TB, that I don't even back up my apps/data anymore. All my content is in the cloud anyway. When I do flash a different ROM now, I just reinstall from the market. It doesn't take that long. But I have been on CM nightlies for a while, so I don't have to wipe or reset or worry about backups.

I do keep a nandroid backed up on Dropbox, however, and I keep it current (backed up every day), so that if I do have to restore the whole image, I can get my latest settings back. Actually, now that I think about it, whenever I change my settings/theme/mod/tweak whatever, I make a nandroid and back it up to the cloud. So it's not really daily, but depends on when and how much I mod. Hope this helps.
[Nexus 7 General] djdunn:
I noticed this awhile ago, unfortunately i dont have any pics to back this up, but ....

i had a Nexus 7, 8 gig model, and I got a 32 gig model, after poping the backs off, on the 8 gig model it says wifi ant v2.0 and on the 32 it says wifi ant v3.0

this is perhaps a new pattern for the wifi fractal antenna on the back?

After seeing this in Sprint I figured I better put this here.

Sprint and T-mobile recently had an update here in the US.

While they mention minor fixes there was one change not advertised - a kernel change that effectively breaks root.

After further investigation of kernel source the change was made in a configuration file shared by all i9505 variants.

As a result you can expect to see this coming to a phone near you.

Now the good news... just use an older kernel or one compiled from source with the flags off!

Then at least this particular case will be addressed.

For further reference please refer to the following....

For the initial charge it states to charge for 12 hours. Does it matter if the phone is on or off? That wasn't mentioned in the paperwork
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
It'll charge the same, don't worry it doesn't matter, the point is just to charge it for that long

It'll actually charge a bit faster if the phone is off though, but just a but since the OS isn't running
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I made sure to Fully Charge mine before using it. Left the battery charging for about an hour past when it was fully charged. Then I took it down to 1% before Charging it again. Did the same Process for the first three charging cycles.

Does anyone know the purpose of letting it go down 1% before charging it. I just curious about that.

After the intial first 4 charges from 100% to 2% can you charge it regulary like charging it everynight at any battery percentage and it be ok?

Yes, that should be ok. No matter what Battery I use, once a month it gets taken down to about 1-2% , then a Full Charge.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] died4u525:
I've actually found that if I unplug my phone with the ZeroLemon battery too soon after it hits 100% the battery will drop very fast so I leave it plugged in for 1 hour after it hits 100% and then it goes down very slowly. For example, right now my phone has been unplugged for 3 1/2 hours and I've been using it most of that time and it's only down to 90%. If I'd unplugged it as soon as it hit 100% I would've been down to 90% within 30 minutes.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] apraetor:
Mine went from 61% (fresh out of packaging) to 100% in about 3 hours, but then took 3 more hours to go from 100% to "fully charged". Now it drains much more slowly. Did you wait until charging actually was complete? The initial few charges seemed to confuse my phone's battery meter. I suspect this is because it has calibrated itself to the 3200 mAh battery, and needs to build up enough data points before it will accurately represent the charge state and rate of the 10,000 mAh pack.

So like a genius I was in recovery mode on my thinkpad tablet trying to fix another issue (I am sure I will need help with it later as well!) and I decided it was a great idea to select "Disable battery discharge".

Now the only way it powers up is if I hold the power button.....the entire time. Once I let off the power button the device shuts off. I have attempted the following trying to repair it:

-Reboot

-Selecting "Disable battery discharge" Again. (no there is not an "enable battery discharge option).

-Full factory reset/wipe

-Swearing at the tablet a lot.

I am an amateur, and I need some help here! Thanks in advance!

I know I probably won't be able to help, but some more info might be nice. Are you running a stock or custom setup? Which version of android are you running?

Edit: Did some searching and I noticed a few others that have clicked that with no results... meaning everything still worked fine and nothing seemed to change. Perhaps you need to plug it into the charger and just let it fully charge, then try to use it again?

Radio Version: 1.10.00

Protocol Version: 1337.18

Have loaded the VGA drivers/software and the VGA and TV out works OK.

However I have a CF GPS card that does not seem to work.

The power light blinks on when I insert the card then goes off it should stay on. There is no info anywhere that tells me the card is installed ?

Is there anything I should be loading/config of the phone for CF cards to work ?

Has anyone else experienced problems with CF card compatibility ?

The card in question is a SysON Chip CF GPS.

I have been informed that the Ambicom CF GPS works with the backpack, but am reluctant to shell out again if it's my phone thats not configured correctly.

Hi!

My ROM version is 1.60.00WWE and I'm using a HOLUX GM-270 Ultra CF GPS card with my O22. No problem during use.

The only problem I face is that, if the phone is turned on, after exiting the GPS program the phone cannot be use anymore. I have to soft reset in order to turn the phone on again.

I have also tried it out with a BT SysON GPS receiver and it also exhibits the same problem.

Anyone has this problem?
