[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
I just ordered another and hope using 10.1 out of box will not have the stutter issues or the slooow load times. For perspective, I had the Razr and it has a 4430 with 1gb ram. It did not stutter beyond the usual Android expectations and loaded apps fast. No stutter while loading data in games either.

Of course, a lot less pixels for the gpu with the Razr, which would explain why MAME plays fast on the Nook (cpu heavy) and some 3d games might have issues (gpu heavy).

None the less, app and data loading should be at least as fast as the Razr, since not gpu or display dependent. Something else is going on with the Nook to cause the slow app loading and data load stutter.

Games like Nova 3 and MW3 play fine until they start loading data and the stutter begins. Also happens when the library sync starts. I will not miss that intrusive process at all. Poorly executed process by the Nook devs.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiyo21:
I recently installed verygreen's cm10.1 on internal memory on my nook HD+. While the performance has generally improved over stock, there is still a bit of sluggishness throughout the ROM. For example, scrolling thru the play store stutters and is still somewhat choppy. Scrolling thru apps in the recent app list is choppy as you scroll. Transition animations throughout not quite fluid.

For sanity check, are others seeing the same issues. Frankly, performance isn't half bad at all for the $150 I paid for it, but I guess it could be optimize as the ROM develops. Its more than usable at its current state. Just can't expect the same fluidity and performance I have on my nexus 7.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webdroidmt:
Yeah, I'm seeing exactly what you are seeing. There's a general sluggishness in the areas you mentioned, specifically scrolling settings, Play Store and my launcher transitions. I've enabled force GPU rendering and disabled hardware overlay and that seems to help but unfortunately, disable hardware overlay doesn't survive reboots, so I have to remember to enable on each reboot. As you said, the rom runs well and is very stable, makes a $150 buck tab very attractive.

I've attempted to port a couple of roms, AOKP & Carbon and both of them were much more responsive overall. So, I'm guessing that the CM10.1 rom may just need some kind of tweaking. Verygreen is an outstanding dev, I'm sure as time goes on, he'll streamline this rom.

As an aside, I'm sure we could certainly use some love to the kernel. :)

All the Android devices I have now, Excite 7.7, TF300 and S3 do the same thing, especially when updating apps. The only tablet I have used that does it a lot less or not at all is the iPad 4.

Seems it is more an an Android issue. I do know it is less an issue compared to 2.1.

Maybe my issue with a slow market is the 400 apps on my device?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] View92612:
I don't think so. I just checked and found it to be the same on my Nook HD+ with only a few apps. Fast scrolling can be a bit laggy while the pictures are being loaded. I didn't notice this earlier because I very rarely use this feature. To me it's not a big deal but it could be an issue to some users. Personally I only care the most the actual performance of the apps. From my experience web browsing with Dolphin is perfect. Gaming is okay and acceptable but not as smooth as N7. It's probably due to the new play store interface requiring more optimization. I suspect the old playstore UI could have worked better as it was much less demanding.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maryfran:
Unfortunately, I am also having Nook problems, but the ideas presented here have me totally confused. What is "apex" - that does not show on my apps.

What are "stock settings" - I don't see anything about that in my "Settings" folder. I have no idea what the "nova" launcher or the "lightening" launcher is - I just turn on the Nook and it starts up. Sometimes programs crash or I get a message that it is not responding. Is there some manual that explains all these things or should I just get a new Nook?

How can i change the duration of the Dail tone

so that when i press the * or # key it will last 250 miliseconds.

I need it to reset my home alarm in case it goes off.

So with a normal Nokia or Samsung phone it works but with my MDA the Alarm-unit doesn't get the correct * tone (to short)

Tuurtje
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] M4io:
the button tones are stored somewhere in the registry somewhere (i can't find them right now). probably you could change it in there. Not the duration, but change the complete wav.

Although I'm not sure this would have effect on the actual tone being sent.

Maybe you can just play a sound on your xdaII and your phone would 'hear' it. Long time ago i had a kind of tone dialer which i had to hold against the mic of a telephone to simulate a tone-dialing phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tuurtje:
@M4io

I checked all the *.wav and *.mid but i could not find a file for the

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 # * buttons.

So i think it's somewhere in the registry, but i do not know where.

Thanks for trying
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] M4io:
HKCU/Controlpanel/sounds/Dtmf*

but don't know how to manipulate them
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tuurtje:
@m4io

Thanks are underway now.

Only need to find proper wav for * key

Change Dtmf tone with PHM Registry Editor:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/

Choose Dtmf number (0-9, also # and *)... Dtmf0, Dtmf1 etc

Rename 'Sound' to 'Sound2' (as backup)

Select: Edit - New String Value

Value name: Sound

Value Data: pathname of wav ( \Storage Card\10.wav for Dtmf*)

I now have a voice from TomTom connected to it and it works

So pressing the * key i will hear 100 yeards

So thanks for the hint

Tuurtje
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tuurtje:
Does not work

Even that i change the build in tone to a wav file the duration is still way to short.

I build a wav file of 500 milliseconds but when i press the * key it only last about 100 milliseconds.

So i hope that somebody knows a way to increase the time the tone is send over the telephone-line.

You can check it by pressing a dial key and keep pressing it. It will only generate a very short duration. While i want it to last as long as i press the key.

Picked one of these up off Amazon for $5 (US) shipped.

Link: VPR Premier 2-in-1 Capacitive Stylus and Executive Pen (Metallic Silver)

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008M2S1Y0/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8

I like to use the SMemo app while at work to take notes during meetings and such.

Noticed it was difficult to write small using just my finger tip.

Just got it this morning and have been messing around with it.

Stylus tip works well thus far, seems to be a soft rubber material.

The actual pen part works well too, inlcuded is a fine point gel cartridge which I imagine is replaceable when ink runs out.

Bought this for price point and the fact it serves two purposes (1) as a stylus for my s4 and (2) a regular ink pen.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] markbloke:
I too wanted a stylus like the S-Pen for my S4 but sadly the situation is little improved from any other capacitive-screen device.

The S-Pen for the Note is an active electronic device which pretty much replaces a mouse. It sources power wirelessly from the note which has hardware built-in to do this. It's effectively a Wacom tablet.

The C-Pen is pretty much meant to replace a finger. If you can't do it with your finger then the C-Pen offers nothing new. The only thing the C-Pen offers above any other generic capacitive stylus is a finer tip. It only works with the Galaxy S3/S4 (perhaps a few other recent devices too) as the sensitivity has been cranked up on these devices. As a result of the finer tip many people report having to press quite firmly to get a response.

The C-Pen is quite pricey, but I notice another fine-tip stylus for the S3/S4 range is available from iKross.

Read the reviews first, in the end I didn't bother.

Thx, after trying my wife's spen from her note 2, then researching is when I realized that it would never work. Which is why I bought the Vipertek pen/cpen.

Been using it for about a week, so far good for what I am using it for.

As good as an spen...no. better than trying to write out notes and such with my finger...yes.

Plus couldn't beat the $5 price tag.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePhoneGeek:
So I like the concept blinkfeed and having various news sources together. What I don't like is not being able to have control over what news is displayed and having to pick from the few sources that HTC thinks I want.

Is there an app that in concept does the same things but allows me to use any rss feed as a source?

I've played with flipboard a little but it really isn't the same and doesn't seem to give you the same type of feel but with only the items you choose...

[HTC First] chrisliphart:
Okay, so since I'm having a few kind of big issues, I thought I'd start a list. If anyone has any solutions, please speak up! Yes, I'm rooted, but that's it. I'm running the stock ROM, and these issues existed before I rooted.

1) Silence mode doesn't work. I can get it to go to vibrate mode only by using the hardware keys; setting it in Settings or through a toggle doesn't work, despite the icons showing in the status bar. When on Silent, the phone still vibrates (and sometimes makes sounds still). This is a pain at night, however, since I've gotten Vibrate to work consistently using the volume keys, I put "Do Not Disturb Me" on my phone for night, and that properly silences the phone. The bonus there is I can schedule DND times.

2) I can't save incoming pictures from MMS. In Messaging, I'm not even given the option to, but I use Chat Heads anyway through FB Messenger. When I open an image there, I'm given the option to save it, but I get an error every time that it can't be saved. It's kind of frustrating.

3) Google Photos Sync doesn't work. It's checked in my sync settings, but unlike every other Android device I've owned, online albums don't show in Gallery.
[HTC First] chrisliphart:
Okay, the picture saving issue is related to Facebook Messenger. I'm seeing the same issue on my LG Optimius G. However, it doesn't look like you can save pictures using the stock Messaging app anyway, so I installed Go SMS Pro to open MMS messages if I need to save photos. I had to turn off it handling SMS and suppressing other apps' notifications, but now I have a workable solution to that until Facebook updates Messenger.
[HTC First] nuclear_eclipse:
For the record, I've heard from an app developer that there is a firmware issue with many HTC devices that prevents them from switching volume states correctly when the device is playing audio streams like music or podcasts. In my case, this prevents Locale from silencing my phone when I get to work because I'm always listening to podcasts in the morning when I arrive, so the state transition fails, and I have to manually change it after stopping my podcast.
[HTC First] chrisliphart:
Hmm, I could see that, but it fails even if I'm not doing anything with the phone.
[HTC First] chrisliphart:
After the OTA, I'm still having the silence bug when using a toggle or WidgetLocker, but I can successfully get it to truly silence using the volume keys. I'll take that, especially since I don't think that's a bug everyone's experiencing anyway. Still not getting online albums in Gallery.

Hi all!

(sorry for my bad english)

I have a small problem: my device is the S6500 (with nfc), first I play with the CM-10 and after with the CM-10.1, all with success flash and run.

Now I have been flashed the CM-10 and I see that in the second boot screen (with Samsung logo and model name) I see S6500D (the NON nfc version) and not the correct model name S6500.

In the Download mode the CWM (I tried in the v5 and v6) I see the correct model: PRODUCT: GT-6500 - VERSION: S6500XXLK2.

But if I do a flash (using CM-10 or CM-10.1) with CWM v6 occurs an assert error:

----

Installation update...

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "jena" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jena" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-6500"

E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10-20130506-UNOFFICIAL-jena.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

----

PS: With CWM v5 this error not occurs, and flash's runs

This error is related with the "S6500D" that I see in the boot screen? Anyone know how to fix this issue?

Thanks!

Like a dumbass i didnt look if there was one here, and I ran this one.

My phone is (was) a carrier unlocked GT-I9300. After running this ROM, the phone boots and everything works except the actual phone functions. WI-FI, internet... everything.

OK... details... had root access to phone using chainfires programs, which i bought. Was looking for Android Upgrade. I found one on YouTube that had good reviews, after all that's where I found chainfire's root process.

Installed ROM from download link to YouTube video above. Would not recognize a SIM card after that. My carrier does not lock their phones. Everything else on the phone works... wifi, internet, all the functions except phone and text. Took it to my carrier. They wiped it and put their version of Android on it but it would still not recognize the SIM. The tech told me the ROM I installed had SIM locked the phone.

I found the IMEI under the battery... but not on the actual phone software itself.

I verified with my carrier that their gt-i9300 comes SIM unlocked. When I put my SIM card in the phone, it asks for the SIM network unlock pin. I have tried everything my carrier gave me. hey said I would need to know which carrier the custom rom was from in order to be able to unlock it.

The video on youtube where I got the ROM was from "theAngelofMusic" who is also in some XDA videos, or at least linked to some of them. I have asked her through the comments there several times but she ignores me.

I have searched the SD card for the efs fiels to no avail. I have read numerous more posts here but can find none with the same specific phone and issue.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slrichey:
Let me start over. Phone is a GT-I9300. Our carrier is West Central Wireless, which is a small local carrier. The phones do not come from WCW with any type of lock, meaning I can take them wherever and use any SIM card. Not trying to be difficult.

The phone was rooted using this process: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957273 Then I ran a custom ROM from this link: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/173577508/3316be3/I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_XEO.zip.html which was linked to android authority from YouTube, which is also where i found the chainfire root info. This is the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PSt8b5D2dM

Once i flashed this ROM, I could not get the phone to recognize my SIM card. I tried to restore it to the original and still nothing. I took it to a tech at WCW. They put the current version of Android on it but it will still not recognize a SIM. I have tried one of theirs, my wife's, and the one from the phone. They all ask for a SIM unlock PIN. I got the two that WCW said might work and neither work. They suggested the ROM i loaded from YouTube was carrier specific. After getting it back from WCW i cannot find the efs files.

Everything on the phone works, less the call and text. Internet is fine as long as I use WIFI. Same with email, google play, etc...

I tried a couple of different unlock codes from the internet. None worked and thankfully all refunded the fee as they said they would.

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to restore this phone to actually being a phone. Hope this helps.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheZoq2:
Hi guys I have had my TF300 for about 9 months now, and it has been working well until a few days ago.

Right now, I can't get the tablet to boot up at all, apart from some minor things, there is no sign of life.

After looking around I have tried several solutions with no luck.

I have tried holding the power button for about 2 minutes.

Cold boot (holding both vol down and power for about 20 seconds)

Charging via the regular charger

Charging via a regular USB charger (for around 10 hours)

Charging via a computer

The few lifesigns I have seen from the tab is that the battery indicator on the sleep button, as well as the fact that windows detects the tablet when I connect it. When I connected it the first time after the crash, windows tried to install drivers for it but failed, now I only get the "device disconnection sound" and some other sound that I have never heard before about 20 seconds after I plug it in.

So, what could be the cause of this. A few days ago, I brought my tablet to school because I needed it for programming. My teacher wanted to take a look at it but failed to put it in the dock properly. It fell from about 10 cm which shouldn't cause any problems. However when we tried to use it with the dock, something was wrong. The tablet didn't detect the dock until we restarted it. So everything was fine.

The next day, I had the tablet in my bag, and my friend (not knowing about it being in there) droped my bag from about 20 cm. Again nothing that should be a problem. However, when I went to turn on the tablet a few hours later, it didn't start at all.

So, should droping it from 20cm realy make the tablet break?

Also, im running the latest official android version from ASUS. If any of you have any idea what may be wrong or how to solve it, I would be grateful.
