is there a way to change the font size in today screen?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jklny:
Not sure which font/text you are referring to.. but do try this:

Start > Settings >System > Screen > Text Size.

This will adjust the fonts for most of the built in programs and the Today Screen.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] alimx:
that's the exact answer i was looking for.. thanks :)

hate to see the huge font on the small screen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheEyes:
One thing that really bugs me about my Note 2 is how MMS messages come out as slideshows that, as far as I can tell, can't be fullscreened, and can't zoomed in on, to see the pictures in full detail. This is completely different than the (far superior) way HTC does it: MMS messages displayed all the images in an MMS, rather than turning them into a slideshow, and let you fulscreen/zoom when you needed to.

Is there any way to zoom in on pictures in MMS messages with Touchwiz more simply than saving the attachments to the SD card and looking them up in a file explorer?

Dropping Sprint (have given them 3yrs to "fix" coverage in my area) and my Note 2. Going to T-Mobile and a Nexus 4. Anyone gone from a note 2 to a nexus 4?

I've went from a N4 to a note 2 and then back to my N4 . Both great devices the note is just to big
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sher The Love:
I did the same as the guy above. I bought it about a month ago and really didn't like how AMOLED displayed whites. When comparing displays, I thought the nexus was much better.

Also, I didn't find the spen to be all that useful, although came in handy once or twice. The phones are pretty equal in terms of speed. Battery life is much better on the note, camera is much better on the note, and the display size didn't make it stand out IMO. They have the same resolution so it displayed the same amount of stuff.

I figured the note would be out dated around August when the note 3 comes out and the nexus will continue to be updated for a while.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthonok:
I just traded my note 2 for the N4 I have now. Couldn't be happier. Even with the drop in specs/screen. I love this damn phone.

Agree, for flashing hoolic like me, I prefer Nexxus 4 the awesome device ..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidDavi:
I just feel its so much more comfortable to use. I used the note 2 for a week straight to see if I could get used to it but it just didn't feel right . To me the only thing that's great on the note is the battery life.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hbkmog:
I have nevered used a Note before but I'd like to try it. The batter battery life and camera are huge attractions to me. It's just the size that I feel will be too big for me as I have a Nexus 7 already.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zivan56:
Once you go Note, you can't go back. I miss the size of the Note 1's screen and still not used to the Nexus 4 (had it since Dec). The Note 2 basically fixes all the problems of the Note 1, but costs $700. I didn't want to spend that much so I "settled" for a Nexus 4. For the price, the Nexus 4 is worth it, but I would have bought a Note for the same price.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myturbo1:
I have had both. I don't understand how someone can say the note 2 has a better camera.

Only pros of note 2 : better battery. S-pen , Case options . Bigger screen & features 'if' that is for you.

Other than that, that's it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
Nothing quite like some guy with an otterbox defender on a note 2, holding the phone to his ear. It's one of the most ridiculous things to witness. It's kinda like me holding my N7 to my face like I'm making a call. Hilarious.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahidhussain:
I used Note 2 for six months and I loved it then sold it and got N4. I miss the Note 2's camera and big screen but N4 is much better looking phone with much professional built quality. I will keep N4 for a while.

After Upgrade to 4.1.2 ,

I am using 11.2.a.0.31 Global Version

the phone scan media in SD card is extremely slow,takes about 5 minutes

If I run walkman during that 5 minutes,all playlists will gone

Does Anyone find a solution to fix this?

Please don't ask me to flash Rom...
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 2010matej:
When you first flash stock rom just go through quick settings which are displayed at first boot and then leave phone and dont do anything on it. After some time you will see big POWER OFF button and click on it! Turn on phone and enjoy!

Its true that it takes some time, I dont know why on ics 7.5 we dont have this and after first boot all pictures and music where loaded imidietly :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] layup23:
This will only happen the first time you turn on your phone, you're not gonna have any more problems afterwards .
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] lhkakex:
Thanks!!!

I realize that if the phone is upgraded by [pc companion] from 11.0.a.7.5 (4.0.4),your situation never happened,

But,if I flash the stock Kernel (because I brick it yesturday...Bootloop after install Xperia Home 5.1.S.0.0...)

or use [update service] re"flash" the phone,(because I brick it today again...Beat Audio Installer...),

the media scanner appears!!!

Now I don't need to wait 5 mins,I can enjoy music after boot!!!!!

:fingers-crossed: phone bricked for two times in two days...
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 2010matej:
There's no media scanner on ICS,just JB have it!

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anosis:
Today I felt ambitious and tried to install a new JB rom (AOSPA 4.2.2). The instructions said that if I had 3 icons I would be on JB bootloader and that I would need to upgrade to the latest TWRP 2.5.0.0 (I was on 2.4.4.0). Well, what I missed is the fact that there were two different versions of 2.5.0.0 (one specifically for JB 4.2) and of course I flashed to wrong one.

Now when the tablet boots it goes straight to recovery and asks for a PW (I don't know the password and never set one). I can select cancel which lets me into the main menu but none of the functions actually have write access. Nothing mounts or lets me gain access to the internal memory. When I try to reboot it immediately goes back to recovery, never letting me get back into fastboot to install the correct version.

Reading some forums and doing some other google search I don't find anyone with exactly the same problem, but it seems that I cannot get out of this mess. I know that nvflash is out of question since that is not working on JB yet.

If anyone has encountered a similar issue or knows how I could potentially get fastboot to trigger again so I can flash the correct version of recovery, that would be a great start.

Thanks !!

Great, That is exactly what happened. Looks like I'll be looking for a new tablet.

I am wondering if the Google Nexus 10 would have a similar risk of bricking. Guess it's time to do some research.

Thanks.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc21:
You may want to check & confirm that fastboot will not flash (you don't get the blue bar on tab when flashing) before looking for a new tab, although this "fastboot flash brick" issue results about 90% of the time you may be lucky and be in that 10% that does not.

You should be able to access fastboot using the "adb reboot-bootloader" command while in recovery, if pc does not pick-up device for adb in recovery have a look here and follow on from the device manager part.

When you get to the bootloader menu have a look at the text in the top left and confirm which 4.2 bootloader version your on, either 10.6.1.8 or 10.6.1.15.3 - then download the correct twrp version for that bootloader and see if you can flash it via fastboot.

If that does not work, which will most likely not would you like to try something for me? which may or may not work, just an idea.

Download this file, unzip it & copy the bootloader.bin file in your android-sdk/platform-tools folder.

Boot back to fastboot using the adb reboot-bootloader command and try

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash bootloader bootloader.bin

If this works and does not freeze the tab then

fastboot reboot-bootloader

If the tab does reboot to this command then check the bootloader version here in the bootloader menu and if it has worked it should say 10.4.2.20 in the text in the top left of the screen.

If by chance this has worked then you should also now have 4 icons in the bootloader as you will now be back on a 4.1 bootloader.

If this does work at all let me know for next steps.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anosis:
Followed your google usb instructions to make ADB work. Executed the bootloader command and was greeted with the three icons (4.2 bootloader I believe). Then flashed the correct TWRP 2.5 4.2 (no blue progress bar) and waited for the command prompt to show successful write. Rebooted and when recovery started up, showed nothing was different. Still requires me to enter a PW and none of the mounts work.

Then followed your bootloader update instructions and while it said it was successful I only get three icons when in fastboot.

Should I try the older TWRP that I had on there before (2.4.4.0) to see if that at least lets me back in?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anosis:
Miraculously the tablet will allow me now to cold boot into the previous rom. That at least makes it usable again, but it probably means that I am stuck on this. Also strange is that the tablet now no longer is recognized as a USB device. I cannot access the internal ram??
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anosis:
Under 'About Tablet' my build # shows 10.6.1.14.4/US DEODEX. Not sure if this might help in fixing the recovery issue?

Anyway I am glad I don't have to spend money to get a replacement, but sure hope I can fix the existing recovery image issue.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anosis:
So tried to flash back the previous version of TWRP and it will not. Even though the fastboot command prompt shows a successful flash nothing appears to be changed, which refers to the original issue that states that I am stuck on whatever rom is on this tablet.

Is the reason I cannot flash back an older or correct version because there is a permission issue? Is there something I can do directly from within the rom after it boots up, like the shell emulator?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AFAinHD:
Hello fellow members of XDA Developers as you may know I created a thread for this a while back but I scheduled a release dates for a boot animation and it never came out so the thread got locked, well I am here now to tell you why that is, after I had given the release date for the boot animation I had to go out of town for about 3 weeks for work then when I got back I slept for the night and when I woke up I was extremely sick and I've been bed ridden since with bronchitis. Now obviously there was no way for the moderators or the fellow members of this forum to know that so I know that my thread was rightfully locked it did look like I was not doing any work, but even though I'm still sick I still have a responsibility to XDA Developers so I have still created the boot animation the only problem is is whenever I tried flashing it for myself I noticed that the boot animation stored on this device is in a weird format that I have never heard of before and right now I'm coughing every 2 minutes and its just killing me. So if anyone can reply to this thread telling how to compile a boot animation into the format Samsung has created, I will compile it make it flash able and give you guys a download link. I'm truly truly sorry for the inconvenience here with this. As many of you know serving the XDA Community makes me feel better than anything else, but circumstances that I couldn't control made it so I couldn't provide in due time, and I am greatly sorry for that.

I just rooted my A510 and ever since my laptop won't recognize my tablet. What can I do? I've tried factory reset, as well as flashing cm10/other roms. I downloaded the os from the acer website but don't know how to flash. Can anyone help me out?

Recovery= cwm

rom = cm10 unofficial

Update I was able to flash back to stock with unlocked bootloader and recovery from the acer website. But still I cannot get any computer to recognize my tablet. I have also lost root. What can I do now? Charging works perfectly so micro usb slot is not messed up.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Shreps:
Did you try another USB Cable ? another PC ?

What's no working ? MTP ? USB Mass Storage ? ADB ? Fastboot ?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
Yes I've tried different USB and computers. The problem is that the computer won't recognize tablet in any mode. I'm currently on stock recovery with stock ww jb. I have us version of the tablet. Also update. zip not working in stock recovery. Idk if this is related but this problem occurred after unlocking boot loader also cwm would not mount ext SD. Boot loader is still unlocked. Maybe locking again will fix?

Edit: When in fastboot mode I am able to get usb device not recognized error in windows but have not been able to get it to recognize the device. I have tried pointing driver to acer official drivers but windows rejects these drivers. Device shows up as unrecognized device under device manager in windows and tablet fastboot mode.

Edit2: Windows gives same usb device not recognized error as in fastboot when plugging in using debug mode. Still no solution to this problem.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
anybody know how I can fix this? Maybe flashing bootloader again can fix problem? Someone please help!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Shreps:
yes, you might try to flash all the Firmware using Acer ADT and a full Firmware file (BIN)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pmrmx774:
This sounds more like a Windows issue. What version of Windows? The Acer drivers only support Win XP or 7. If you load the Android SDK, those drivers can be made to work. If the USB on the tab recognizes a flash drive, I say look at Windows to resolve.

Also, I believe that once the bootloader is unlocked, it cannot be locked. It maybe can be replaced with a locked one using the fastboot flash command.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Shreps:
Acer Drivers are compatible with Windows 8 x64 (I'm using it)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
How would I do that? ADB doesn't recognize the device neither does fastboot. Idk if it is a windows problem since I have tried updating drivers over and over again. I get an error returned saying usb device not recognized. Also I'm having trouble flashing in stock recovery. I put update.zip on root of sd card and external sd but nothing works. External sd doesn't show in recovery.

I'm now having trouble getting the pc to recognize the tablet at all.

Someone Please help.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pmrmx774:
I would suggest making a Linux thumb drive (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows). You don't have to futz with drivers as much in Linux. All ADB and Fastboot commands are available. I used it for my phone and my TF101. An old 2GB USB will suffice.

Any utilities, files, etc. can be placed on the stick for use, as well.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
so basically I should boot my computer using a usb drive then connect my tablet to another usb port correct? Also I'm starting to think my usb drivers in the tablet itself are messed up from trying to root. How would I fix that? But I will try what you said first. Thanks

Btw I am unrooted now cuz I flashed Acers stock firmware but it didn't lock bootloader which is weird.

I have tried using the usb stick to boot into linux but that would not recognize my tablet as well. My phone was recognized immediately but my tablet was not. The tablet won't even recognize that a usb is connected when it is connected to the computer, but shows charging when connected to charger. Again I think the usb drivers in the tablet itself are messed up. What can I do?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
Do you guys think I could possibly do something in APX mode? Seems like it may be my only hope
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
anybody?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pmrmx774:
If you still have the USB adapter, try connecting a USB stick to the tablet. If the tablet mounts the stick and you can view files, then there is most likely nothing wrong with the tablet USB. If not, then Acer may still be able to help with a warranty claim. I bought the extended warranty w/ mine.

As I stated earlier, once the bootloader is unlocked, it can't be locked... perhaps replaced, but not locked.

If the USB functions, boot to the Linux stick and run ADB usb.

then plug in the device to see what happens...

Pretty much all you can do in APX is flash the factory image. that's the most primitive state for android devices...

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/APX_mode

You would still need a functioning USB port.

Hope this helps.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
I tried plugging in the usb drive with the adapter and the tablet was unable to recognize the usb. does this mean that the usb drivers are bad? What are my options? What happens if Acer denies me support due to being out of warranty?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pmrmx774:
Sounds like a hardware or physical problem. Inspect the contacts on the USB for an obstruction or a misaligned contact. There are 5 contacts on my A700. I would power down before messing with it. Also, check for a loose socket... you did say that the charger works, though.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
Yea the charger works perfectly fine so I don't think that is the problem. It may be usb drivers in the bootloader or something cuz this problem started right after I unlocked the bootloader.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
I contacted Acer and they said my tablet is out of warranty and to fix it it'll cause $250. Is there anything else I could try?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pmrmx774:
I really don't believe the USB driver was changed when you unlocked the boot-loader. If you replaced the Kernel, that would more likely. This is resolvable by replacing the kernel with stock...doable if you can flash from recovery.

Again, I say inspect the USB contacts. they are really tiny and delicate. If one is crossing another, this can cause your issues. They can be straightened with a lot of patience.

It would be very hard to find the USB port for sale as it is unique to Acer... with the 12VDC capability.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
Thanks I will carefully look at the pretty itself. I did not change the kernel before the problem started occurring but did flash cm10'1 to see if that would fix problem amd it didn't. Thank you very much for all of your help!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
the micro usb ports pins seem straight to me, they are perfectly aligned. I'm seriously at a loss as to why it still won't work.

"http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/cracking-open-the-acer-iconia-tab-a510/6366300?seq=19&tag=thumbnail-view-selector;get-photo-roto"

See if you can get just that from Acer. It maybe cheaper than they're suggestion... if you're feeling froggy.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
so basically I have to change the micro usb port?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pmrmx774:
"Have to"... so tragic! You can live with the USB failure. You continue to imply a driver issue. I'm convinced it's a hardware issue. Heck, it could be the cable or connections from the board. These USB ports are so notoriously weak, I would go there 1st. We haven't ruled out ahardware failure/ fault.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
I really think it is a software issue because the problem started right after I unlocked the bootloader. Maybe flashing the factory image from Acer would help but for some reason stock recovery won't recognize update.zip. But I can live without the tablet connecting to pc but would really like to get to the bottom of this.

lol Btw your last post made me laugh!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pmrmx774:
This is how to may be able to get the bootloader locked( the only way I've seen). In APX mode using Nvflash to restore the factory image. One caveat, you're USB isn't working. If your system sees it in APX mode, there are possibilities. I'm not really familiar with nvflash. I used it once to restore my wife's TF101... many moons ago. I haven't seen anything from Acer on it. they do have files available for download.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aamir123:
ok I'll look into it maybe thats the route I will have to go.

Thanks for all of your help

also theres no way to get stock recovery to recognize update.zip correct?

Looks like Acer isn't giving out their code for APX and NVFlash.
