[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekalby:
I know there are some tweaks here out there that map the menu key to the back or home button, and remove all in app 3 dot menus. I would like to use the back/home buttons as menu buttons, yet keep the 3 dot menu only in apps that have it built in. For example, I would like to see it in app in something like Play Store, yet not add the black bar on the bottom for something like Facebook and Angy Birds. Is there any way to do this?

Also besides for mapping the menu key to the HTC logo, how can I deal with the lack of a menu button in AOSP based roms like PA and CM 10.1?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekalby:
Anybody?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garmig:
To remove the bottom bar add this to the end of the build prop using a file explorer.

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

Save the changes and reboot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoHacker:
Yes, but that removes the menu button in apps.

Is there a way you can only remove the black bar? Without removing in app menu buttons?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garmig:
Well, what about changing the number to 0 ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoHacker:
Works like a charm! Thank you!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prophet16:
I don't understand. If I set the build.prop entry to 0 there's just a permanent black bar at the bottom. From what I understand, setting it to 0 enables the navbar. But I decided to set it as 2 just out of curiosity. Now there is no black bar and there is a 3 dot menu in all apps.
[General Questions and Answers] atomicpookavirus:
I just moved into a new place and my phone died. It was a talk/text plan on verizon - contract expired - I paid around 23/m.

My budget it super limited right now.

I'm considering buying a used smart phone for around 100-150 to tether my desktop/tablet...I could end up paying like 45-50 for voice/text and internet...right?

The other option would be to get a smart phone on contract for like less money or free but then there's the whole contract thing.

The other other option would be to get another talk/text plan on a simple phone and try to find an ISP that serves at $30/m...hard to find...

My location in Downtown Seattle.

What would you do?

What are speeds like for 3G/4G/tethered devices?

I like to game but it's not a necessity. I could wait until I have enough cashflow to get a dedicated cable connection. Unfortunately, Comcast wants 46/month - that's kind of steep!
[General Questions and Answers] Toniolli:
i would recommend researching here is an idea of what to look go here http://smartphones.findthebest.com/d/e/Mobile-Hotspot-Tethering and also i think you will need to do a bluetooth tethere

hope this helps
[General Questions and Answers] atomicpookavirus:
NoOdLePoOdLe

Yes, that is helpful, thanks.

Question; why do I need bluetooth tether? The idea is to broadcast a wifi signal from the phone that my desktop can receive...or is that not a thing that is possible?

Any comments on the differences between GSM data speeds and "4G" data speeds?

I was looking at the unlimited data plans from StraightTalk for $45/m but it's only available through GSM; Would that limit my speed potential as compared to a "4G" based service?

:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] atomicpookavirus:
Okay, cool - so I can use GSM and 4G if I have a 4G phone and it's with a carrier that supports 4G in that region...

I assume that most carriers would cover Downtown Seattle (and most other metropolis') with 4G...

I just realized that StraightTalk doesn't allow tethering in their $45/M unlimited plan...I suppose I could always cheat and just try to keep my usage below the radar...what other carrier options are there? - one's that might allow tethering as part of package? Ideally under the $50/M price range.
[General Questions and Answers] arlenesboyfriend:
prepaid is good for minimal data use net10 has a data cap of 1.5 gigs and straight talk claims unlimited but if you go over 2 gigs they shut off ur data...... the best unlimited is sprint by far because there is no data cap
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] raynan:
It may be a noob question, but why does our device OC'd higher than other devices not outperform newer phones like the s4 or HTC One? Are there other factors that weigh in or is it Sammy doing something we can't undo?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaolin95:
Different CPU architectures, and other parts so you cannot compare mhz vs mhz. Also depends on what you are testing exactly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Outperformed by what comparison ???

Too many variables exist to compare anything. ..and benchmark scores do not count. ..

The best device is the one users enjoy the most. ...not the one that boasts about being "better" than it's rival competition. ..That is a marketing campaign. ..

The note 2 is not designed to be the main stream power phone. ..it is a unique niche device with nothing less than impressive specifications. ....and regardless of what the competition says, will run exceptionally well against any devices on the market who share the same production time frame, and similar hardware/software......g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Andrew149:
Note 2 is a power house its enjoyable. Any more power is just bragging right from here on out. For oc it has to do with heat dispensing, voltage the archatech the NM of the chip and of course software.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
Just out of curiosity, by what measure is the S4 or HTC 1 outperforming the Note 2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] raynan:
I know I'm going to get some heat for this, but quadrant scores are around 12750 whereas my note 2 has topped at around 8500...I'm not saying I can't do anything less on our device; I do enjoy having the highest performance of anything out there :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
Your problem is that you're equating quadrant score with sheer performance. It's no like a dynometer that gives a accurate reading. Ie - if you took a brand new sports car and put it on a dyno it would spit out nearly identical hp and torque numbers test after test, but if you ran quadrant test after test you would get varying scores. I've had score differences of up to 400 points when I ran the test back to back. The same with antutu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] raynan:
Haha, like I said, I knew I'd get get heat for that, and I realize benchmarks aren't the most accurate way of determining power and performance...but I do like the bragging rights of saying that mine is numerically higher. I know it's kind of wrong, but it's also fun to mess with the settings and find what combos get the best results which led me to this post. I was also more curious as to why even though our device clocked higher with otherwise similar specs still don't match up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
There are too many variables in determining why your core running at 1.8 isn't outperforming another core running at 1.6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] raynan:
I'm talking more about why our quad running at 2GHz is much lower than a quad running at 1.7 with completely different governers and other tweaks?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
You're asking the same question that I just answered. It doesn't matter the number of cores or the mH it's clocked at. There are too many variables to figure it out. Think about the different frameworks, the numerous system processes running, the apps installed, system apps, settings, tweaks... If you had identical devices running all the same stuff you would still get varying results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
Its not so much the cpu that is the biggest change in quadrant its in the power of the gpu that the note 2 has a mali 400 while some models of the S4 have much more powerful gpu's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaolin95:
Does that even matter in Quadrant? If you have a device with vsync off then it will score much higher in GPU than the Note 2 with Vsync.

Also, if you are going to only focus on Benchmarks to compare, at least use a more decent test or various tests to get a broader perspective like 3DMark, Antutu and Vellamo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] raynan:
But shouldn't they be in a similar range? Forgive me for the repetition, I just want to know a little more about the way this works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaolin95:
I think we have been pretty clear already so not sure what you are not understanding.

Ok, instead of reading around to fix your problem you made a new thread about the same thing.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hasuris:
There is a thread "battery drops explained", just a little down this very page that explains it all. If your battery is >1,5 old, it's getting worn.

Li-Io batterys have a lifetime (end of life is when it only has 80% of it's capacity left) of 500-700 charges. Nowadays people charge their phones at least every two days. Do the math. You'll see some more batterydrops at 20% and 70% (I think), the sum of these drops is how much juice your battery has lost permanently.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gadha007:
Hi Guys

I'm in mildly troublesome waters and I was hoping that the people here would help me figure my way around a solution.

So about a week or so ago, my AT&T one XL (which is on CM10.1 stable) started behaving weirdly; the screen wouldn't turn on but all the touch functionality would still work as I was able to receive calls by just using my instincts on knowing where what should be. Now at that point, if I pressed different parts of the screen, it would turn on for a few seconds and then the screen would black out again. The buttons do light up.

But as of yesterday, my screen won't turn on no matter where I apply pressure to try to get it to turn on. The screen still works and I can randomly turn on 'Google Now' and and other stuff as long as I know where what is located on the screen.

I called in AT&T as my phone is still in warranty and they are sending a replacement. However, I'm now in a bit of a race-against-time to get my phone back to stock and hopefully even get rid of the *tampered* sign that shows up in fastboot. I was wondering what my options are to get this done at this stage as I'm not even able to tell when I'm in the fastboot mode. I'm worried that if I don't send it back with atleast stock settings then I'm liable to pay a replacement fee of 500$!

Also, does anyone have any experience with sending in a phone that was jailbroken and not running stock but still under warranty?

Any help/information would be great!

Thanks

Angadh

your screens cable is loose or damaged. is your phone s-off? do you recall if u had usb debugging enabled?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gadha007:
I was on 2.20 when I rooted the phone so I'm guessing that implies I didn't s-off. No recollection if I left usb debugging on, but I'd like to tihnk I did!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
if usb debugging is on:

use adb to boot to blootloader then relock and ruu to 2.20 you would need to s-off to ruu to 3.18 or to spoof the relocked. tampered should disappear when you ruu.

Thanks for the info, exad.

So what I tried now was to use the hasoon all in one kit and clicked on the 'Boot into Bootloader' under commands. I got 'error: device not found'. That implies I'm not in USB debugging, right? So do I have any other options from here?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
yea you can manually boot to fastboot. press and hold power. the capacitive buttons will blink a bunch of times, when they stop blinking let go of power, press and hold volume down.

then you can go on from there.

Not sure if this problem is specific to me or not. Since upgrading to the standard SE 2.20 (no modofications or updates) I've experienced problems with GPRS.

Most of the time I can connect no problems, and the every now and then my XDA II tries and tries to connect but eventually fails. It's not due to the network strength or location, as I've experienced the problem whilst on a 3 hr drive using TomTom Traffic.

The only way of resolving the problem is either a soft reboot or switching the radio off and on again.

Any ideas, is it worth reflashing the radio back to an older version?

The title more or less says it all.

If an i757m is in a no-USB state, is there any way to get it rooted, get a custom recovery on it, etc ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
Probably. Without even looking for one though, I'd advise against it. Why? The number of times where something goes wrong and the only (short of meddling with hardware) method of fixing it is to plug it into a computer and flash firmware via Odin. If you can't plug it in and something goes wrong, you're stuffed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhd-android:
All wise advice aside, the stock experience has become so unbearable, that the risk of unfixable brick is getting pretty close to being worth taking.

So I'll revisit this thread. Is it possible to get from complete stock, to rooted with custom ROM, without using USB?

It strikes me that if there was some sort of privilege elevation exploit that could run phone-side to achieve root, then a custom recovery would be loadable through ROM Toolbox, and a custom ROM could follow.

A phone side odin would be great.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
You can flash a pre rooted kernel in stock recovery but like [MENTION=528136]hooper[/MENTION]8 has said BIG risk. If you want to take a chance then go ahead look for a kernel with cwm and flash away. But don't come Bk here moaning when it go's wrong. :thumbdown::(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhd-android:
When you say "look for a kernel with cwm" - can you clarify what you mean? It is not my understanding that a kernel would have cwm included with it. The kernel doesn't contain the recovery, does it?

It strikes me that when I've tried to install custom anything, using stock recovery, it fails because of signatures, or something along those lines.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
For the international I9100, PhilZ is a modified stock kernel that contains cwm. It can be installed via stock recovery. As I understand it, it is a 'signed' zip, which means (somebody cmiiw) it contains 'code' that allows it to pass androids/samsungs security verification process.....which will then allow it to be installed. If your zip doesn't contain this 'code', you get the 'signature verification failure' message, and the installation will be aborted.....as I said, I THINK this is how it works. ...somebody please correct me if I'm typing bo****ks.....:)

I would swap the board in a heartbeat, if I could find a replacement board for the 757m. I looked, couldn't find one. I even disassembled the phone, and came to the conclusion that I could potentially solder a new USB connector on it, or at least temporarily attach leads.

It might help you identify any critical information that the supplier could need.......
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhd-android:
It's the first of those two. I had actually opened the phone up before my initial posting to see what the board looked like, and from memory, that first one looks bang on. I was thinking about reflow soldering a new microUSB onto the existing board, but came to the conclusion that the other components might shift a bit (some are absolutely tiny) upon heating the board again.

I actually ended up going with one off ebay (it's shipped from somewhere closer) - but your link got the ball rolling (it illustrated that the mistake I had been making in my searches was to include the "m" at the end of the model number).

I suspect that this may not be the case here. The i757m was an odd phone that didn't get very widely sold. I would be surprised if there were many variations out there.

The story I've heard, is that the i757m ("Galaxy SII HD LTE" here in Canada) was Samsung's answer to the fact that Canada got it's LTE eggs lined up in a basket before the US did. The Canadian market wanted an LTE Galaxy phone, but Samsung didn't want to give them the S3 before it had its big US rollout. So they made the i757m, which was basically a North American S3, with the NFC antenna taken out. They didn't even take out the NFC circuitry (hence the hacks to enable NFC by just adding an antenna to your case). They took this revision of the S3, and sold it in Canada as a supposed version of the S2. If you look at the specs, it's an S3.
