Oh yes iv read plenty about the g pro and it does sound nice iv thought about trying to trade the note for it. But I then remember the reasons I wanted the note instead. Its the dev comunity and the work that gets done. There was the boringist stuff going on over there. And plus it seems like the samsung devices hold value better and juat plane better ui than lg. Ao I like what I have juat miss some of the faster and smoother useI got out of the optimus.

To be honest benckmarks do matter but only if you really understand them and know how to use them. Im not just someone who sees **** score or awesome scores an decides anything. But the scores do matter. If u took a droid x and ran benchmarks and got **** scores and then ran this not you would see a difference. They matter just if you choose to see it. I know many many people who try and try to convince others that benchmarks dont matter when all a benckmark is is a test of the hardware and if u use the same program on different devices you will note the different qualitys in the scores. Showing you the pieces of hardware or software mostky hardware that is better or worse. Like with the mali vs the 330. Or the quad s4 vs I forget what is in this device. Or an amd vs a intel. They show what does what best. If you know what you are doing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
I don't believe in benchmarks. I can run antutu and get xyz score, then run it again 10 seconds later and get abc score, then run it again 10 seconds late and lmn score, all to varying degrees. It's a gimmick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theshamrockking:
If the scores vary drastically its probably because of the background services and apps doing things. Sometimes there is less sometimes more. U either take that into account or you do it with a fresh phone with nothibg on it. Including no google account. Just sideload the app and then run the test and do it a few times they should be more similar.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Regardless of scores. .. and considering the drastically different user habits, I do believe Samsung found excellent balance in both form and function with this device.

To add more power would kill battery. And drive the device size even larger.

I do feel they have a great balance here.

The note3 should become an absolute power phone if they build from this base....IMHO....g

[LG Optimus 4X HD] jojopi:
Hi I guys, I m new to smartphones, I oredered a 4X! I ve read and seen many issues but its still confusing what to do!

Some say that with JB the 4X is smoother and faster, and some advised to keep it running with ICS, because with JB the phone lags and it takes much more RAM.

I m using this smartphone for everyday, mostly browsing, youtube videos, some apps customizing and some games!

All I want is that it will be smoothest and fastest, without lags.

Battrey Issue is not a big problem for me.

And I want the best from its camera....

Suggestion please? Keep it ICS simple as that or update to JB?

Thanks guys:o
[LG Optimus 4X HD] GRG13:
Use for a short of time ICS and then update to JB.If you dont like it rolla back to ICS.Noone can tell you if JB is BETTER from ICS.But i think that v20a is very good and and not so laggish like some users say.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] jojopi:
But from what I ve read its quite a headache to downgrade it from JB to ICS then.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Aeternus Eternus:
I agree with the brightness slider in the notification area, it's a vital tool for me.

Other than that, I find JB to have a lot better battery time (I don't suffer baseband wakelocks too much anymore)

[HTC Droid DNA] JerzeyLegend:
​

In case you haven't been keeping up with Google I/O, one of the BIG announcements was the release of a complete stock, unlocked, open Samsung Galaxy S4.

It will come with 4.2.2 I believe. It will get updates direct from Google.

However, it is a GSM device. What do you all think about it? Anyone been on the fence about switching phones? Anyone reserve a Verizon S4?

I think it's cool, and I hope Google drops more phones in this manner.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
It's cool, but no real reason to get it above a regular s4 imo.
[HTC Droid DNA] JerzeyLegend:
Not even unlocked an bootloader and updates straight from Google when they are released?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Half the s4's have an unlocked bootliader anyway and most people will be using custom roms, so the ota updates really don't matter.
[HTC Droid DNA] Berzerker7:
It also not working on Verizon is a big reason why I won't be getting one. Also, it's $650.
[HTC Droid DNA] death4u:
Will the fact this S4 will have Stock android help out the devs for the Carrier's Models? CM etc..? Once all of the sources and what not are dropped by google?
[HTC Droid DNA] JerzeyLegend:
$650 is lower compared to the DNAs full price at launch.

It not working on Verizon really does suck, perhaps some devs will port the ROM over to the CDMA version. I want complete and utter stock experience.

This phone pleases the Android purist in me. I so wish I could have it on my current phone, but I must be patient.
[HTC Droid DNA] Berzerker7:
Point being, I have an upgrade. So I can just get the GS4 for $199.

I imagine that since this exists, it would be pretty close to trivial for an almost complete stock experience on any GS4, as from past experience.
[HTC Droid DNA] croppz:
Huge letdown in my opinion.

Droid DNA-Newt Sense 5

Nexus 7-Stock
[HTC Droid DNA] SinC26:
I think it's pretty amazing (and definitely surprising) that Samsung agreed to stock Android.

Hopefully this will set a trend with other manufacturers as well.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shadowstare:
I would have been more excited if Google chose the GS4 AND the HTC One for its pure Nexus-like version. Even at full price a HTC One w/ pure AOSP would be a very very very compelling option for high end users. Arguably the best software paired with THE best hardware. That could be worth $650
[HTC Droid DNA] morpheousrx:
Agreed... But HTC doesnt have the "stones" to do that. Its led around by the nose from the carriers... snapping their fingers.. "here boy...here boy...cmon".... LOLOLOL....

Ex.... 16 gigs memory... no sd slot.... not helping devs (on the DL) to unlock phones. Now that would be epic. Till then they will always be second or even third consideration for me. I had a TBolt, Rezound, and now DNA. Loved all phones but Nooka please....get some ballz HTC!!!

I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it was compatible with Verizon. I'll have to settle for the normal one with Cyanogenmod.

[Networking] Carlos:
I had two issues. Called SanDisk today about them, waited on hold 25 minutes, only to be told "too bad." They're...um..."features," not bugs.

The problems are that WPA doesn't work (even though it's in the drivers), and you have to reset the device if you remove the card and want to reinsert it.

Anybody know if the Socket card works without these problems?

If then i press the power button and turn the screen on, the lightflow's notification works again till the screen shuts down again ;)

P.s. lightflow is enabled in stamina mode

If you want to use your all available space then; Use Rmprep usb to format your sdcard. http://www.rmprepusb.com/

Select your drive Select size as MAX, and hit 6. Prepare drive. Thats all....

If you want it use as Ext2/3/4 partition there is a lot of guides in Dev and General section...
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlexiPack:
Thanks, I got the full 2gb back using that tool. I then partitioned it to 1.5gb Fat32 and 512mb EXT4 in Mini Tool Partition Wizard. For some reason I remove and reinsert the SD card in my laptop, windows tell me it needs formatting even though it is already formatted. If I reload Mini Tool Partition the ext4 partition is no longer visible and I've no way to reclaim it other than using the tool you provided.

Edit: It was a dodgy MicroSD - SD Card adapter. I've got my SD properly partitioned now, thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peterwong26:
Hi,

I recently purchased a used Galaxy Nexus which came with root, CWM, and the stock 4.2.2 ROM. I tried searching and couldn't find a direct answer so I'm hoping someone can help me with the following question.

Can I flash the next available Verizon Stock Image using the custom CWM recovery? I would be getting the factory image from the Google Developers Site.

I'm used to flashing custom ROMs where I would wipe and flash, but I'm not sure if this works for factory images. I would like to keep root and CWM, but just want to flash images from Google rather than wait for Verizon's OTA push.

Sorry for the noob question.

Peter
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
factory images dont work like that. you flash them from fastboot/bootloader

but lets think for a moment.

what is root?

essentially it is comprised of superuser.apk and an su binary

that su binary is installed to /system

when you install ANY rom, that rom will wipe and take over /SYSTEM

how exactly would you retain root access that way unless that su binary is included in the /system image?

you can flash the system image from the stock factory image files (extract it out and in fastboot/bootloader mode, run 'fastboot flash system nameofsystemimg.img', that wont touch your recovery partition

then you can just re-root it by flashing the superuser.zip from CWM

in case of a bootloop after rebooting, just boot back into recovery and do 'factory reset' ( you will lose all your installed apps/settings/sms/call log/etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peterwong26:
Thanks for the detailed explanation, it was very helpful. Just to make sure I'm clear, ROMs which are flashed that don't make you lose root access are the ones with the SU Binaries built in? e.g. Cyanogenmod.

I believe there was a version of Android 4.2.2 which was released which was geared towards rooted users. I'm assuming this is a modified version of the factory image. Is that also correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beauenheim:
There are quite a bit of 4.2.2 roms, and all the roms on here are rooted, unless you were to just install the factory image.

I recommend just flashing the google factory image, then flash a recovery.img that is TWRP or ClockworkRecoveryMod (Do this in command line or if you wanna risk it, a toolkit) and flash a supersu.zip from chainfire.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
Root is only applicable to the OS itself so yes ROMs already contain the necessary binary and apk

Under all apps, Google Talk is still shown. If you open it from there, the old Talk launches. If you search Google Play for Google Hangouts, it shows 'Installed' and if you open Google Hangouts from there, it launches the old Google Talk.

Very strange.... gonna try clearing some app data and what not to see if it resolves.

Please let us know if you figure anything out. I'm on stock as well and I'm starting to regret it because of updates like this. I bought this phone for updates but so far, it seems to be behind on that(4.2 OTA took a week). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling google+ and that didn't work. I thought it might be tied to g+ since Google is trying to make it more involved with Android. I might root this weekend if I don't get it soon.

2. Hangout new permission will require an updated Google play services (although the update was not visible before)

Second:

1. Manually search for Google play services, update it

2. Install update (from SD card or by PC mgmt tool or ADB)

Should work...
