i think apex has more customization than nova (i mean when are the people from teslacoil going to implement date sorting on the app drawer???? and what about gesture control on the free version??) but i believe nova is a bit smoother most of the time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Yippee38:
I hate to resurrect an old thread, but I just bought Nova Launcher Prime and I wish I had gotten Apex instead. I like Nova, but it doesn't have one thing that I want, and that is the ability to re-arrange the icons in each tab of app icons. It looks like Apex does have that functionality.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Baldilocks:
Just email them. They add new features all the time. Nova just seems a lot more smooth to me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] polish_pat:
Apex has a lot more options. I had nova for years and switched to apex to try and never came back. No smoothness issue here... Perhaps it's because im rockin a snapdragon 800 :D

Tried that. Here's the response:

"I am on paternity leave and may be unable to get back to you. If after some time you do not receive a response feel free to send your message again at a later date.

If you are having issues with the Play Store please contact Play Support at http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/request.py?policy=apps&contact_type=contact_policy"

Understandable, and congrats to him. However, his response kinda sounds like, "If I remember, when I get back, I'll reply, but I might forget. If I do, resend your e-mail." heh. That's fine. I'll wait, or I won't and I'll pay the $4 for Apex.

I use Action Launcher Pro. I really like the feature set.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] raderator:
Apex for the free gestures. Swipe down for notifications, up for recently used apps, double-tap for screens. Both run the same JB theme on ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] martyfried:
Nova Prime for me

I've been using Nova Prime for a while, and there's one feature it has that I depend on, and it sounds like Apex does not have this.

I hate searching through a lot of icons, so I avoid spreading them out over lots of screens, then trying to remember which screen it's on. Same with folders - sometimes it's hard to remember which folder it's in. So, I've discovered a way that I like, which is to create a folder of a few apps, for example "Browsers". What Nova allows is to assign any action when you click on the folder, and assign a swipe to open the folder. So, for this example, I can assign a click action as the default browser, say Chrome, but if I want an alternate, I swipe and choose another. I may have a folder of radio apps, but assign Pandora as the default if I use Pandora mostly.

For apps that I use less often, I use a gesture to open the apps drawer, and have a tab of favorites that is not too big to find what I want quickly, then another tab for all apps except the ones I've hidden, which are in a folder.

I'm still tempted to try Apex to see if it has an alternative that works well for me now that I have a better idea of exactly what I really use the most, because Nova's configuration is a bit cumbersome to maintain the app drawer as I add new apps. Also, changing the grid in Nova has a lot of side effects that maybe Apex addresses (?), such as tiny icons with larger grids, and losing icons if youy reduce the number of rows or columns.

However, I've never had any problems with Nova in the time I've used it. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, and an LG G2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] midas69:
Interesting about Nova and folders. I want aware that had been added. That's the main reason I use Action Pro. They call them covers. I may have to check out Nova again since I did buy it a long time ago.

The other cool feature of Action Pro is that you can attach a widget to an icon. I'm, pressing an icon would launch the app, but swiping the icon would open a widget. And it doesn't have to be a widget for same app. I'll have to see if Nova has something similar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tanw:
Hi,

May i ask which launcher has app folder manual arrangement like Go launcher?I am still using v3.11 GO launcher and would not want to go further than that as i find 3.12 onwards has bloatware.So i am thinking of changing launcher..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bo0gietrain:
As in the ability to rearrange the order of icons in a folder? Both have that

What do you mean by each tab of app icons?

Both let you add custom tabs in the app drawer and rearrange them, but apex has a few pretty defined groups like downloaded and system whereas in Nova you have to hand pick the apps for new tabs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] vuvuxela:
Apex for me.

I have tried both free versions several months before. At that time, Nova free have missed some key features, e.g.hidden apps and gestures which are provided in Apex free version.

For smoothness, IMO, they are the same, no lag.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tomi456:
Nova Launcher :D

I'm using now Nova. I think it's smoother.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Yippee38:
Right. What I mean is in each of the tabs I want to be able to arrange the icons in the order I want. So if I have an "Internet" tab with, for example, Facebook, Gmail, and Dolphin Browser, I want to be able to put the icons for those apps in a specific order within the "Internet" tab. In Nova Launcher, the icons are in alphabetical order and cannot be rearranged.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bo0gietrain:
Ah interesting. I just checked out apex and it gives you 4 sorting options, can you manually order the apps somehow?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sneesh:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] energydrink:
I use nova as long as I can remember. But recently I changed my primary google account, and decided to give Apex a try (Nova Prime is still in my old google account). I know I can have both google account but I don't want things to get cluttered. Guess what, I like Apex better. My main drawer set up is to have a vertical continuous scroll and group my apps into different tabs. In Nova, most of the time when I swipe to change between tabs, it doesn't register that input. I have to actually make a really wide swipe. Using Apex, that problem actually gone. I just make a slight swipe and it moved. That is one of the things that I like. There is more. But yes it has a bit less customization compared to Nova.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Runarsson:
I had both Apex Pro and Nova Prime on my Galaxy S3 Mini and couldn't for my life decide. Both had that little 'something' that the other didn't. Now I've upgraded to a Galaxy S4. Maybe an extra inch of display can mean a difference in user experience and put one of them on top of the other. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Reiman76:
Currently using Nova

I've been using Apex for more than 2 years but late last year have been having trouble with the smoothness of some home screen transition animation, there is significant lag on my favorite transition animation (card stack) which hasn't been fixed in a long time. Having tweaked every possible setting without success i decided to try Nova. The fluidity is much more smoother in Nova IMO. The only two things i didn't like about Nova is how the screen locking option is implemented (which was much more simple in Apex) and when using it as my launcher on my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 the on-screen menu button is right next to the drawer button which is a bit redundant since my tablet already has a capacitive menu button on the bottom (am i missing something or is there a way to remove or disable that?).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cybershawngates:
Agree nova is definitely stable. I had crashes with holo launcher, no more with nova.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] radenli:
I tried both Apex and Nova free version. Both are very similar and have the features I want.

I can't really tell the performance differences since both run smoothly.

However, I would prefer Apex since it provides some gesture that Nova doesn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] h1t3kc0r:
Been running Nova pro for a while now and haven't had any issues or lags
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hakkalugi:
Normally I just lurk, but thought I'd jump in for once...

For what it's worth...

I think Apex definitely has more options and if you're only interested in the Free versions, then 'to me' Apex is the better option in that you get the base gestures and more transitions compared to Nova. You just don't have the multi-select capability for easier home screen setup. (There are other differences but this is what most immediately struck me.)

That said if you're willing to support the development efforts, then (again just my opinion) Nova feels cleaner overall and I really like the simpler menus. I don't need the extra tweaks Apex has over Nova. Otherwise the launchers are rather identical in features. -- Also for those that experiment with different ROMs Nova again feels superior. For example, when restoring from backup one just needs to click on what ever widget didn't come back 100%... this as opposed to deleting and re-adding the widget (for anyone who has ever used Go Launcher).

For me, Nova won the Nova vs. Apex smackdown.

HI all

Been looking for sometime for the MS Lync 2013 version, while in the market it simply say that the device isn't supported the 2010 version said the same but works like a charm on the device.

Only place i found with some details was here

http://www.1800pocketpc.com/do-you-really-need-the-official-lync-2013-app-for-windows-phone/

But the link to the xap file is useless and isnt working when i try to deploy this with the XAPDeployX-V0.9.

I am using HD2 with RUU_LEO_HTC_Europe_5.12.401.01_Radio_5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U_WP7.10.8862.144_NT_18L_V1_by_ansar

Appreciate any suggestions or if someone can actually grab the xap from the market and PM a link that would be awesome.

[YOUTUBE]wrlkJS4oOrg[/YOUTUBE]​

Goal: Find a mount which would support a larger phone or smaller Android based tablet to enjoy Torque1. This mount needs to firmly grip the device and not allow it to vibrate a tremendous amount. It would also be nice if it didn't look horrible and was easy to mount the phone properly/quickly.

Solution: EXOGEAR ExoMount Tablet S

This mount retails for $49.95, and I believe it was worth every penny. It is hard to sharp shoot its faults when it does such a good job of fulfilling my goal.

Its flexibility guarantees that I will be able to use it in the future with other devices. I shouldn't outgrow this product quickly.

Now enjoy my crummy video and pictures. Tested it with the Note 2, Galaxy S, and HTC One so far...

On the Galaxy S4, it would be easy to charge and access the power button. Not so much for the headphone jack. Bluetooth is the key for audio if using this mount.

The charge port is not in the center of the HTC One. It would have to be offset in order for the charger to be plugged in. You also can't plugin a 3.5mm headphone jack. Again, use bluetooth if possible. You wouldn't want the device to go into sleep as it would be hard to press the power button.

Manufacturer's Website:

http://www.exogear.com

1 - Torque is an Android application.

Description from Play Store:

See what your car is doing in realtime, get OBD fault codes, car performance, sensor data and more!

Torque is a vehicle / car performance / diagnostics tool and scanner that uses an OBD II Bluetooth adapter to connect to your OBD2 engine management / ECU

Layout your own dashboard with the widgets / gauges you want!

It can use the GPS to provide tracker logs with OBD engine logging so you can see what you were doing at any point in time

It can also show and reset a DTC / CEL / fault code like a scantool. Helps you fix your car and helps keep repair costs down!
[One (M7) Accessories] chrisngrod:
Fixed link.

NOTE: I had to go back and use the 3m disk today. It was really hot. This is not a design flaw as it was meant to be a part of the installation from the beginning. If it does fall off, I'm going to credit that to not cleaning the dash with an alcohol pad to remove the trace amounts of Armor All.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] daoom:

2- No need to flash the Bell stock ROM for it to work (in fact I'd bet the Bell ROM has more bloatware that the Koodo one).

Hey guys,

Last month I got pretty close to my shared data cap so this month I'm trying to be a bit more frugal. According to my data usage logs though, in the last few days my "android system" has used a LOT of data. Anyone have any idea what could be doing it? 200MB all in the background. I decided to block the system from data access via a firewall change (WiFi only) and see if that stops it.
[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:
That won't help considering data charges only apply for when you're not on wifi. Could of been that you updated a large app or several while not being on wifi.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Then it would show the play store using a lot of data I don't think it's apps. I think it's a system app continuously trying to connect to something.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Mibuix0r:
So I've tried a couple of protective cases out there (both otterbox cases) and I can't seem to find a case that will work with a MHL adapter that provides any real protection. I am using one of those cheap aluminum ebay cases right now but last time I dropped it with it on it my screen broke so I'm looking for one with more protection. What are you guys using that works with your Samsung MHL adapters (epl 3fhu)?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] stormin:
I use the defender and cut plastic off the MHL plug so that it fits with the case on
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Mibuix0r:
You can cut the plastic off the MHL plug?! Can you show me a pic please?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fosselman:
I think he means to shave off a little bit of the plastic part of the mhl cable that is preventing the mhl plug from going in. You can use an exaxto or hobby knife.

I had this problem with my galaxy note 1 and since that mhl adapter doesn't work with the gn2, I bought this mhl cable and it works with my bulky case.

There are others on ebay. just make sure that it is gs3 or gn2 compatible.

I am using this one http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Adapter-Hdmi-3Fhu-Galaxy/dp/B0080CXSOU/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t it doesn't seem to have as much plastic but ill try to shave a bit off and see it it will fit

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpgorbosjr:
Hey, wasn't sure where to post this, but anyway....

I had a ST account with 2 AT&T sims on it. Before they AT&T dropped ST I kind of saw the writing on the wall with that 2GB limit, and since I tend to go over and the other person does too I just switched to T-Mobile.

I'm wondering if I can try and profit off this a little? Could I sell someone the rights to the account/sims? or better yet is there a way to remove the sims from the account, still have them work, and sell them stand alone?

NOTE: If you have a problem with my attempt to try and profit off still having two of these, I don't care, move along, thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbutt:
Are they used? If so, how old are they? I think straight talk sims "expire", so to speak, after being used... I think it's between 1-3 months...

Edit: OK upon further research, service cards expire a year from date of purchase but sims do not... Again, idk if it matters whether or not they were previously activated or not...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpgorbosjr:
They are used. One was last used about 3-6 months ago. The other we just stopped using this past weekend. The numbers associated with them were ported off.

They stay in the account ready to be activated again. I think I'd have to sell the "account" with the 2 sims, change the password, and let them activate them how they want.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Underground_XI:
How is this topic related to nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpgorbosjr:
Please, tell me where you would have posted it.

I would say it doesn't really fit anywhere on XDA to be honest. But, a lot of Nexus users have experience with ST. Thanks for the complaint withotut any good suggestions by the way.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
One thing is for certain you can't sell the sims and activate them on another account and I think they can only be reactivated using the number associated with them when you first activated them. When I first used StraightTalk I didn't port my number over and used one they assigned to me, when I finally wanted to port my number over they said I had to use a new sim as you couldn't change the number on the existing sim card, it was permanently associated with the first number assigned to it or so it was explained to me. I think the sim can only be written to once after that its read only so any account info on it can't be changed.

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

You can discus phone plans here no problem, there are plenty of them already and it has everything to do with the Nexus 4 as its carrier unlocked. And since it was a question it does belong in Q&A. You could have posted it in the other StraightTalk thread in the General Section but who really cares (except it seems one person).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpgorbosjr:
Thanks for the response....

I think I'ma just abandon this idea. It's too complicated lol. I was trying to see if I could keep some ST AT&T sims in circulation and make a little coin on top, but with them activated already it doesn't make sense. Plus you can still get activation kits around $50 if you really want.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Like you originally said you would have to sell the account and I don't think that is allowed in the TOS. They might let you transfer it to a family member but that would be the extent of it. IMO It would be a huge pain in the butt to try and sell it as who really wants to go through that huge a hassle to try and save a couple bucks at best. And you would also have to give any buyer the phone number associated with the sim card which is the one you ported. I've got all kinds of used sims from carriers laying around too I just put them in a box to grow dust.
