Alright so this is my fourth mhl to hdmi device that, still, won't work for me. Found out mhl adapters won't work on my note 2, so, I went on amazon and bought a mhl complete wire hook up, (no adapter just one solid connection), the kind that requires power from an outlet. Well it worked untill it started disconnecting. Then the cable just crapped out.You get what you pay for, I guess. Never got a stable connection. Bought a different one from amazon, (see picture) SKIVA brand that is supposed to work on note 2 via the special addapter that came with it.(apparently the note 2 has more pins. X) anyway this cable just doesn't work. Tried different charger addapters, nothing. Im just having alot of trouble trying to connect my phone to my samsung smart tv. Any tips would be helpful
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HOGWILD:
their are diffrent type pins.i forgot how many suposed to have i bout 3 and they only worked on galaxy s 2 and not on s3 or note you must look for the ones that specifie note 2 or galaxy s 3.like this one http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...1371265792&sr=1-3-catcorr&keywords=note+2+mhl
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] micxploed:
Yea I was thinking of purchasing that one. But this skiva mhl is supposed to work on the note 2. So I must have gotten a bad one. I think most of these unofficial ones are cheaply made and the note 2 requires precision , something chinese made electronics lack
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mha1021:
I bought like 4 or 5 different MHL adapter from Ebay for my NOTE2 to connect it to AppRadio2 and i had all kind of problems with them, finally i bought the Original Samsung one and it works without any issue. FYI it will not charge your phone while it is connect to MHL adapter.

On ebay there are a lot of fake chinese made samsung MHL adapter for like $10 don't buy it coz they are the same as the one you bought. The Amazon link in 2nd post is the original with samsung original sticker on it.

First image is Fake Samsung MHL adapter

Second image is Original Samsung MHL adapter

IF you want your phone to get charge while connect to MHL, you have to get a custom Kernel that supports FAST CHARGING. Because by default Note2 gets 475mA from MHL+charger but with custom kernel you can change it to 1000mA OR higher. To be safe i set my phone to 1000mA.

GOOD LUCK
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] i_guana:
Oh great, looks like I bought a fake. Had the Galaxy S3 sticker and everything. Funny that it works, though. I've tried it on Samsung HDTV's and even an old school 50 inch CRT RPTV with a DVI adapter. Works every time. Here's the kicker: It's so damn sensitive to static electricity! If someone gets up off the couch, even if the phone isn't near it, the subtle static created can actually knock the picture or sound out. It usually kicks back on in a couple seconds but sometimes I have to remove the MHL adapter and plug it back in. Weirdest thing I've ever seen! It does work, however, just not as reliably as I would like.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] whitedavidp:
Hello. I have written an app that helps to improve the accuracy of the S-Pen.Currently, it works only on Note phones and Note 8 tablets because Samsung has compiled some S-Pen device driver interfaces out of the Note 10.1 tablet kernels. It is not clear why they did this. I have asked Samsung but gotten no replies. I have confirmed that parts of the kernel code are removed via a couple conditionals in the open source kernel code (and you can see that some of the interface files found on phones and Note 8 do not exist on the Note 10.1 tablet). It seems that the Note 10.1 tablets can suffer from the same issues related to the S-Pen as do the phones/Note 8 and I have many people asking me to make my app work on their tablets. I cannot do so with the stock kernels because of the missing interface files.

A friendly and very helpful XDA member responded to my posting in the General forum here and has produced a kernel that, with very minor modification to the conditional compilation, seems to provide the interface files my Reset Spen app requires (and appears to do so without and ill side effects). And another XDA user installed it and tried my app confirming that it does seem to work on the Note 10.1 with this kernel. This can all be found in the thread.

So I am hoping for some more wide-spread incorporation of this modification into other kernels for the Note 10.1 so that I can support more users with my app and try to solve at least some of their S-Pen issues. If you can do this and can let me know, I can point my users to your kernels.

Thanks.

hi! I've been trying to download files using my browser. I also tried to download videos (it usually downloads streaming videos when you choose 'internet' for the action.. but it always fails at start -- 0kb.

I used opera mini, chrome, and stock browser and still having the same results.

when I'm on repencis 3.5 or stock rom, I don't get this prob. but with other roms (now I'm using blackstar 2.1), it happens.

I'm wondering if there's any mod that makes this happen or any script I could do to solve this?

I already tried deleting ALL files in init.d folder and still nothing. any help will do. thanks!

Performance wise, what's better?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exodian:
Performance wise I say equal. Customizability Nova.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dupunk:
Try it out and see for your self. It's all subjective...

I prefer nova simply because of the customizability and the use of gestures not to mention I've been using nova for a very long time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
I prefer Apex (paid) over either. The default launcher that comes with Slimbean is Nova as it was determined to be the best in terms of speed and memory while still being tweakable and free.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Luv Nova... Faster than light! :D try it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thephantom:
Nova for added customization.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgebizkit:
First thing i did was install nova :P

Also for eye candy sometimes i use Next launcher but overall nova is the best.

stock is fine if you want an applauncher interface - nova really lets you build :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
Performance,stability, functions, you name it! Its Nova Prime.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kendaihou:
Just a quick question here. Would Nova Luncher interfere with Light Flow in any way? Or they have nothing to do with each other? Just don't want to install nova yet in case it messes up my light flow settings.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg1906:
Nova
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calanizzle:
Nova, by far!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strainhunter:
Both have nothing to do with the other. I use light flow and nova myself and it's working great. I tried almost every Launcher available and everytime I came back to nova Launcher. Followed by apex Launcher and then holo Launcher HD.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus⁴

@ <CarbonROM>+franco.Kernel
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonseye:
I like both, but always come back to the stock launcher. Weirdly. Maybe because I used Nova to mimic the stock launcher on my former Xperia Ion, and now that I have the stock launcher, well I don't want to change anymore :D

By the way, I get this with every launcher : when you press a conversation on the widget SMS on the lockscreen, I always get a black screen (launcher, but without wallpaper) and then app launches. I don't know why, it's the only thing bugging me. and it happens on Nova Prime, Apex Pro and stock launcher.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreseansr:
No, it would not affect your light flow. I have both installed and used both of them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
The stock launcher is smooth, but nova gives you so much options. I use nova prime on my phone and my tablet (n7) and am very happy with it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krjadejesus:
But Nova is making lags on my N4, though it is fast but i do not like such, i still prefer Apex, more features than Nova and the fluidity is there, it is more than enough for me with its new feature (Apex Notifier)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
I prefer Apex as well, and can make it really snap by turning off various animations (perhaps doing the same to Nova would help).

PS: I do like the Notifier, though I thought that feature has always been there with the paid version of Apex (maybe due to recent android updates they had to utilize the notifier?)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 309041291a:
Stability: Both are amazing, stock is probably very slightly more stable, VERY SLIGHTLY

Customize: NOVA, done

Performance (speed, RAM, background): Nova. You can tweak the animation speeds, it's always fluid, you can make it an "aggressive launcher", it destroys

Sent from my Dirty-Trinity-Unicorn'd Nexus⁴
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myturbo1:
You can change the speed/animation's of the stock launcher too. All in the developer options..

Also aside from stock. I would say APEX (paid) seems to be the smoothest 3rd party launcher on the Nexus 4.

Nova (paid) laggs horribly for me. Doesn't matter what settings I change.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonseye:
What's horrible in Nova is the poor screen previews. It's not smooth at all, looks bad, and has no animation when clicking on a screen. Apex is better in this aspect, though I find Nova slightly faster and snappier.

I'd go back to the stock launcher though, if I found a way to apply custom icon themes to it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp13:
stock/nova. apex is laggy
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClanUrdnot:
Nova Prime. Stock launcher is woefully short on customization options. Why is it that stock launcher does not have folders in app drawer?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mic43:
Nova lags a bit when clicking home button. IT takes it same time to reutrn to launcher when we are using another application. I ddint notice this on stock launcher...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonseye:
I just noticed it too. Weird. but Nova doesn't stutter when scrolling through widgets in the app drawer... Tough choice.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
I have no lag at all with nova. I'm not understanding why so many are? I've attached what my "look and feel" and "labs" settings are. With these, it's been all good for me and I've used apex pro too.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vv91xv:
Nova launcher the best launcher, my nexus 4 very very fast and clean, with nova. Stock launcher slow, no customization, bad...
[General Questions and Answers] thomtwo:
We have identical Samsung i827 Appeals.

One drains the battery when TURNED OFF in 6 to 7 hours.

The other's battery maintains a reasonable charge durning the same time period.

The only difference is the 'Build date of the Gingerbread OS' (see below)

The one that doesn't hold a charge is GINGERBREAD .UCLE3 built on Mon May 14 10:06:36 KST 2012

The one that stays charged was built date is GINGERBREAD.UCLJ2 Tue Oct 30 17:34:10 KST 2012

Could this be the difference???
[General Questions and Answers] pgramsey:
I have a battery sucking stock I827 that has the same build date as your good one.

I had one before that was superb. It got stolen. I'm not sure what the build date was, but my memory vaguely tells me that it was the same as your good one.

I bought a (supposedly) identical replacement unit that sometimes works great (< 1%/hour) but goes bananas under as-yet undefined circumstances. It then goes to 16%/hr, and continues to draw down the battery at that rate even if I turn it off. Yes, off. Powered down. Like they tell you do during takeoff and landing. It continues to eat the battery at that rate until I take the battery out. Yesterday I boarded a plane, shut it down. When I pulled it out two hours later it was hot and the battery was down 35% from when I boarded.

Switching wifi zones seems to kick it off. It almost always goes crazy when I take it into my office, where they have an unsecured guest wifi network.

I've tried reformating the SD card, removing the SD card, switching off and on automatic updates, turning off use network values for time, and installing various battery managers. Some seem to work for a couple of days, but don't provide permanent relief.

Right now I'm trying Battery Defender, on the theory that the OS doesn't properly shut down the WiFi, but a battery manager does. If that doesn't work I'm going to try Juice Defender Plus, which supposedly does the same thing.My last phone had Go Battery Manager, which I'll try if Juice Defender doesn't work.
[General Questions and Answers] pgramsey:
Additional interesting information, it doesn't seem to be the wifi at all, but the base phone communication.

I walked into my office with the wifi off. It went into crazy battery sucking mode.

I then tried putting it into airplane mode before entering the building. No problem. I took it out of airplane mode while sitting at my desk and battery consumption remains normal, less than 1% per hour. So as long as it's in airplane mode while I walk through the building it seems to be fine. It's going through the building while maintaining a normal phone connection that drives it crazy.

Hi everyone,

I just switched from a IIs to a mini. Did my backups onto my SDCard from the IIs. However when I tried to restore from the IIs to my mini, it failed. The whole unit just hanged...

Anyone tried this? or has a suggestion how to restore from a IIs backup? All my contacts are in the IIs backup :shock: If cannot restore then I am in deep trouble :(
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Guest:
WOW...think you are stuck. You are suppost to just create a new partnership from activesync from your desktop comptuer and outlook.

Guess if you don't have any of your contacts on your desktop/outlook then your only option would be to get hold of a XDA IIs again, restore, sync to the desktop and then sync to the Mini

You can't restore from a backup, different device.
