a bright light? may I ask whats that for?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
for some reason if holding the power button alone doesn't work, and sometimes it doesn't overwhelming the ambient light sensor does the job. It's the same on the HTC Butterfly too.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rtubbs85:
alright ill try that thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rtubbs85:
lol I held it under the light in my fridge and it worked. thanks man at first I thought your were joking with me

yeah it is. good to know know though just incase

I honestly thought you were trolling as well, good trick to know.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
its to prevent accidental button combos while its in you pocket or bag. it uses the light and proximity sensors to determine if its in a pocket or bag
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hack14u:
I about laughed, then I knew you know what you are talking about, so I went and did your suggestion, and lmao, it worked. I was going crazy in my dark dungeon of an office, then I saw the light. Thanks for that.

Aroma is not very stable. I personally use up and down keys instead of touch screen and it works much better. Also I try to not rush. Once you get to next screen, wait 2 to 5 seconds then use up and down and then power to select or push buttons. Works for me every time.

What is the cheapest anyone has gotten the Note2 for and , where could i find it for the cheapest price?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] You_got_owned123:
For me, Craigslist or Ebay.. But Craigslist is really really.. It's 50/50. I would rather pay more and just buy at a retail store or someyhing. So many people getting their phone's IMEI blocked after buying from CL and stuff. Try Swappa
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ma$etas:
what about meeting the seller at a tmobile store and having tmobile activate it right there and there could they block it after wards?

+1 for swappa. I bought a TMobile 7.0+ and an i717 off there with no issues. I'm looking for a white collar collar job this fall when I finish working beach volleyball and I'll probably be buying a Note 2 off there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gedster314:
I've bought a couple on local craigslist for $400 in like new condition. They do pop up from time to time. It seems the going rate in the Ventura area is $475. I stumbled across a Verizon one for $350. It had chewed up chrome bezel and battery door. I spent $25 on replacing them and got $500 for it. So don't be afraid of body damage as long as the glass is in good shape.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ma$etas:
been looking and have found some a lil bit lower.. im actually looking at two right now

1st) is a Sprint Gnote2 already flashed to pageplus ( which is what i would do with it if i get it anyways) for $220

2nd) is Tmobile Gnote 2 clean imei for $300

cant decide

one hand one is cheaper and pageplus works off verizon towers which would give me good reception wherever i am but fastest data speed is 2mb down .. pageplus plan for $70 with 5gb data is the plan i would get on this...

the tmobile is more expensive , i would get the $70 plan have unlimited data but some complain about call quality and coverage and i use phone for work so not sure... tmobile data would obviously be alot faster and you could talk and surf and the same time which is not a requirement but a plus..

still trying to decide ...aaarrggghhh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] VivaLaCam92:
Check Amazon every once in a while for deals through personal sellers. For ex. I got a brand new unopened and unlocked iPhone 5 for $480 shipped about 3 months after release just because of how cheap it was.. Used it for 3weeks or so and turned around and still sold it for 788 on ebay
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xuanphucn:
That doesnt make sense to me. Why would people pay more than the retail price for a used phone? People on ebay are crazy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] VivaLaCam92:
Go to apple and check on how much a 64 GB iPhone 5 unlocked costs then add taxes and shipping then get back to me..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xuanphucn:
U didnt mention its 64gb lol. Tought it was 16:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vl1969:
I do agree that some people do crazy things on ebay especially.

I have seen crazy seller too. As in listing for used s3 starting at

899.00

But to each is his own.

I got my note2 on ebay for 435.00 includ shipping.

But I had to hunt for it almost 6 month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tedman76ers:
I got my note 2 for tmobile from wirefly. com for 300 but had to sign a new contract
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] You_got_owned123:
Anything on Craigslist/ Ebay/ Amazon for really cheap- Less than $400 or so, I would consider suspicious. Especially the ones that look really new. Some people claim on insurance and the one they are selling you is the one they probably got off of insurance by ripping someone else off. Ebay is a little better because they have buyer protection- but still, it's only 30 days and the original owner can report lost/stolen, claim insurance after 30 day period.

Bought a Note 2 for $500 brand new and a week later, got it blocked.

I have heard that if you meet with the seller at a Tmobile store, they'll be able to switch over the IMEI- but make sure it's not on a payment plan or you'll be screwed even if you switch over the IMEI..

Do you guys have any recommendations for screen protectors on ebay under $10. Unfortunately i bought the Slim armor for $25 before knowing the power button problem :( so i don't wanna do that for a screen protector. Any good screen protector is ok, i had a few $5 screen protectors for my T989 and i don't like the ones that you have to install with soap.

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] galaxy808:
buy the spigen ultra crystal, for 6.99 from amazon, it's cheaper than on their own site, prime members get free shipping too.

I recommend this screen protector to everyone, it's fantastic clarity and comes in a 2 pack.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinz_bangiz:
Guys, its my first time to try to do some modding on Android and unfortunately Im stuck with a problem.

I did a good install with drivers, unlocked it successfully then installed TWRP 2.5 mako. after installing TWRP, I locked my phone again. Then I went to TWRP recovery then made a backup. After backup was complete, I was to reboot but was prompted something like "my device seemed not to be rooted. Do you like to install SU?" But I choose "dot not install" instead. Then it rebooted. Then the Google logo showed up longer than usual, then the X logo and was stuck on it from there. I waited till morning thinkin the phone might be configuring itself for the first time after all the things I have done but to my surprise, when I got up this morning, still on the X logo! I then tried to reset by pressing the power button for some seconds. It rebooted but same thing happens, google logo showed up for a longer time than usual then stuck again on the X logo. Then I tried fastboot, it did went to fastboot. Tried to reset bootloader, tried using TWRP reset system and reboot but still no success.

What do you think happenede and what did I do wrong? What should I do now to fix this.

Im really nervous now thinking I might have bricked my phone. Im a newbie so I really have no idea..

Hope you guys could help. Thanks!

Try clearing cache in twrp if that doesn't work flash the stock recovery and clear cache from there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinz_bangiz:
thanks for the reply. You mean using "Wipe" in twrp right? After choosing wipe, i was prompted with 2 button options and a swipe option. 1 button was "advance wipe", the other was "format data" and the swipe option was "swipe to factory reset" what should I use? It says "factory reset wipes data, cache and dalvik (not including internal storage). Most of the time this is the only wipe that you need." You mentioned to try to clear cache, do you mean to say the data and dalvic as well? If so then should I choose the swip option which is "factory reset"?

Thanks again..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Nope just the cache. This phone sometimes has issues when wiping data/cache from the bootloader. (Which is what happens when you unlock the bootloader) The way to fix the bootloop problem is to wipe cache using the stock recovery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P41ll37:
Try factory reset first if that doesn't work you may have to sideload a ROM onto it. The same thing happened to me a couple of times. Sometimes a factory reset worked but most of the time I ended up sideloading.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinz_bangiz:
so just to clear, i would not try anymore to clear cache via twrp or should i try it first before flashing stock recovery and clearing it from there? To be honest, im quite careful now in every move ill make coz Im afraid i might make matters worst.

Pls advice. thanks for your patience.

by the way, in case I would really need to flash stock rom, how to do it and where to get right stock recovery?

Thanks again!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
All the info to flash recovery and resources are here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312

Basically, download the stock image. Extract the folder down til you see the recovery.img.

Then using fastboot type the command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then boot into recovery and clear cache.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinz_bangiz:
oh ok. I understand now. Sorry, its my first time so im not that familiar yet on how things go. I did a lot of reading and browsing as well but xda sure is very overwhelming in information..

P41ll37 is suggesting sideload which I also am not yet familiar with. i tried to search it but most of it led to using a toolkit. I mentioned in another post that I made that I wanted to learn instead of jsut being able to fix my problems. Could you advice me as well or lead me to the right link to know how to do this.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinz_bangiz:
Guys! before trying anything else, I tried to clear cache using TWRP and choosing advance then marked the delvic cache and cache then restarted system, was asked if I wanted to installed SU, this time I choose yes, it rebooted by itself, but still nothing happened. same stuck on X logo problem.

But then, I tried wipe again in TWRP this time choosing factory reset, then restarted system again, google logo did stay a longer but not as long as before, then X logo appeared and stayed there like forever but after a minute or so.. FINALLY! it went to the Welcome screen asking for what language I should use.

So i guess this means it is fixed already?

Also, since I choose to install SU a while ago, does this mean my phone is already rooted as well? How would I know? Well, maybe installing a root app like titanium backup should tell right?

If so, then looks like I have advanced already on my step by step learning to mod my phone. I was only in the unlocking and custom recovery part last night. Tonight was supposed to be rooting and putting custom rom but I was still trying to learn thru our forum guides.

I wana thank you guys for your time, kind help and suggestions. This was my first experience in modding and right away I was faced with a problem to be solved. This is good anyway as a learning experience.

One last thing, could you guys tell what really happend, how I went into this kind of problem or what caused it? As I mentioned, I was noping not only to mod or fix my phone but rather really learn on how to do or fix things. Like a difference between a toolkit and manually doing it. Right?

Thanks again guys!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thos25:
basically whenever you flash a factory image (and perhaps even some custom ROMS) you have to do a factory reset for really two reasons. The first reason is to get it out of bootloop. For some reason whenever the phone is flashed it will go on endless loop until you boot into recovery and factory reset. Also, you will need to check your storage after you flash. The phone has a tendency to lose half its memory after a flash. Check storage and if at half memory do another factory wipe and you should be good to go.

The easiest way I do it is to simply reboot the phone after flashing the files, I then allow the phone to reboot and get stuck on the bootloop. I then hard shut the phone off by holding down power. Once shut down boot into fastboot and then fastboot boot TWRP recovery where I then wipe the phone. After it reboots it will stick on the X logo for a few minutes and get to the welcome screen. From there log in and get it set up again.

Also, this is where you should check storage. I notice that more often than not mine still is only half storage (despite my TWRP wipe), so I use the phone to factory reset and then when it reboots the phone has full storage again.

Im sure there is probably someone out there with a better system but that is how I do it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinz_bangiz:
Thanks for the reply. really very informative!

Actually, this is exactly what I did and the one that solved my problem.

About this, are you referring to the remaining free storage or that actual usable storage of the phone. To my knowledge, a new 16gb nex4 would actually give you about 12+gb of free usuable space. Do you mean I should observe if this has dropped to about 6gb? or are you reffering to for example I have 5gb remaining free space before flashing and rebooting then after this I should observe if the "remaining free" space is now only around 2.5gb after rebooting it?

Looking forward to your clarification.. thanks again!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natemac1:
Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy SII HD LTE (SGH-1757M) on Bell (Canada).

I've been having some problems with this phone and I really need some help.

Okay so I need to flash stock firmware onto my phone, but I can't use ODIN or Kies because my computer will not recognize my phone (USB port damage). So I've been trying to use the Stock Recovery on the phone but every time I try to flash it, my phone just reboots and reloads Stock recovery and doesn't do anything after that. I have to pull my battery out to restart the phone normally. What I did was download my stock rom for my phone (correct region, and firmware) and when I tried to flash the .zip file it said "E:verification failed" so I unzipped it and tried the md5 file and this time it takes a little while then the screen flashes black then restarts the Stock Recovery UI but then freezes and I am forced to pull the battery out.

The reason I want to reflash my rom is because my phone acts very odd. If I try to shut down my phone it just reboots, I can't charge my phone (have to use other Samsung phone to charge battery), computer won't recognize phone.

Thank you in advanced! :fingers-crossed:

I'm on newest version of SmoothROM, kingbeatz mod. Kernel doesn't seem to matter as it's been happening on whatever one I install. I use my Nexus as a music player all day at work. After being on for about 8 hours around the same time every work day, the music starts to sound robotic. A reboot is the only thing that fixes it.

Any opinions?

I was thinking maybe something to do with governor or something but I've changed it a few times but seem to get no where. If i put on performance, nexus seems to almost die before i get to that point of laggy music.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashik992:
I think your RAM is getting almost full. I had faced some issues with SmoothROM and RAM. It doesn't clean the RAM automatically. You can try using some third-party RAM cleaner or RAM booster or something like that form the market and see if works.

This is a mod how to enable navigation bar(on screen

buttons) , its very simple and easy...

Warring: if you mess something dont blame me.

Add the following line at the end of buid.prop file

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

now on reboot we will have nav-bar like on nexus 4

Much easier to use the recent and home.

And more comfortable for the thumb

It works but causes icons and things to get cut off :p

also causes the overflow menu button to appear.

I have been having some fun with this. Enabled the software keys, disabled the hardware keys, disable the back and menu button lights. Now it just looks like I have a sweet notification light area because you cant see those two buttons when they aren't lit up. I adjusted the pixel density all around to make is so I don't lose any app screen space.

The only issues I have are the icons on the launcher getting cut off on the bottom rows and the camera button is a little messed up, still usable, but there is a dedicated hardware button, so it doesn't really matter.

Now I just need to change the multitask button to a menu button and it will be pretty sweet!

So, can anybody help me? Or is'nt it possible to change it? ( i want to change de backgrounds/skins and add/remove different software)

Hi guys, I use my phone as my internet connection through the built in usb tether (not paying for it however, on Paranoid Android), and every time I download a file (say, a game off of steam), I lose data even though my phone still says that it is connected to H+ or 3G or whatever with full bars. It begins at a constant 1.5-2mb/s download and goes down to 0b/s and stops. I've tried odin to stock, reflashing radio, and trying different roms. Even if I download on my phone, it will drop the connection while showing the H+ or 3G. I've read that it could be a SIM issue. Can someone verify what this is? Thanks!
