[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
Hello all,

So I just got this phone of the weekend and I'm loving every single bit of it. Now when I wanted to transfer to contents of my Old 32GB sdcard to the internal sdcard slot in the phone I connected it to my Linux box and it tried loading 2 drives, one did and one failed. I wasn't able to access the internal memory. Now as soon as I connected it to a Windows 7 box it loading a virtual "CDROM" which HTC Sync install and the internal memory of the phone (32GB) and I was able to copy everything then.

Windows isn't my OS of choice, is there a way to get this up and running in Linux? anyone has had any progress?

Thank you.

[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
I have an app I am trying to automate with Tasker, and I need Tasker to move the touchpad cursor and then simulate a left click and/or simply simulate a finger tap on the screen.

Details: The app is the Boston Globe reader, which is a localized version of Press Reader. The app only downloads new issues when it is opened (the "background update" feature is not working for me), and this takes a few minutes, so I am trying to use Tasker to open the app at 5 AM and take a few steps to get the download started. (The download is supposed to start when the app is opened, but this also is not working for me).

Problem is that after a few steps, I get to a screen where I have to touch (or click with the touchpad and cursor) a particular Boston Globe icon. I have been unable to get Tasker to simulate either of those actions.

Strangely enough, if I tap anywhere on the screen, I can then use the cursor keys to select the Globe icon and then press the "Enter" key, but this does not work without the initial "triggering" screen tap with my finger, which I cannot get Tasker to simulate.

All suggestions are appreciated! TIA!
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
SOLVED, via Tasker Google Groups:

"Ok, you can try the "Run shell" action with the command "input tap 564 1856" where the numbers are the x and y coordinates of the tap location.

in order to get the correct coordinates, on your device go to Settings -> dev options and turn on "show pointer location" then you can go into your app and tap on the correct location and it will display the x/y coordinates of the tap which you can input on that script."
[Asus Transformer TF700] joelstitch:
i can i tap and HOLD for a specific ammount of seconds?
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Don't know. You would have to determine if Run Shell has a "tap and hold" function. Try asking in Tasker Google Groups: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tasker
[Asus Transformer TF700] squint:
Did you ever find out about the tap and hold request? I am looking for the same solution.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SparedSquid:
You can do a long press by using shell script and doing input swipe x1 y1 x2 y2 ms, just make sure that x1 and x2 are the same value and that y1 and y2 are the same value then end with however many milliseconds you want the press to be. For example input swipe 400 700 400 700 300, would do a long press on coordinate 400 700 for 300 ms.
[Asus Transformer TF700] squint:
Thank you! That worked perfectly. One thing I did discover is that the "input swipe" command seems to be case sensitive. SwiftKey automatically capitalized "Input" - and it did not work until I made it lowercase.
[Asus Transformer TF700] guy4jesuschrist:
I came across this when searching for a way to stimulate a long press with Tasker. I'm trying to stimulate a long press of a volume key, to attach it to a Tasker task, so that I can then assign that task to a swipe using the Wake Gestures app I'm using, so as to bring up Ambient Display in Lollipop. Unless anyone reading this knows of a shortcut I'm missing that will activate Ambient Display in an easier way?

Hi Folks,

I saw a couple weeks a battery replacement for Grand Duos with the NFC enable. I'm a noob in terms about the tecnology, so I'm asking if with this battery we can somehow enable the NFC in the firmware???

Thanks

Indianversion of grand dosent have support for nfc however samsung decided to include it in korean versione:(
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] simplyanin:
NFC hardware just pairs with a compatible NFC device but the data is send via Wifi Direct only.

NFC hardware just pairs with both devices nothing else guys ... it sends the data via wifi direct.

Similar app is available on play store name "Fast File Transfer" it does the same ... sends any videos, games or music via wifi direct.

But one thing which I like about NFC is that it bypasses the authentication or pass key step to connect with devices ... just touching two nfc devices together connects them automatically.

But if one use NFC enebled speakers or smart tags then only its usefull ... other than that one can use fast file transfer app which does the same thing as NFC does while sending any data.

[One (M7) Accessories] gk1984:
Started as a kickstarter for an ultra durable screen protector. I can't even tell it's there, but it is thicker than the average protector - I can feel it on the edges.

Everyone keeps telling me to put it to the test, see if it really lives up to the demo videos on the site. I'm not sure I want to risk actually breaking my One in any way... Sorry. Maybe next time my brother asks, I'll tell him he can test it for me if he pays for any repairs needed :)

http://www.evolutivelabs.com/rhinoshield/

The screen protector feels as smooth as the glass under it, doesn't hamper the capacitive buttons on the bottom (yes, it covers them and yes I have the update that made them more sensitive), and the protector went on very easy. Bubbles were no problem to squeeze out, I don't even have any micro bubbles lingering anywhere.

Also, early adopters seem to be eligible for an improved version free in July - not sure if this only applies to kickstarter backers or not.
[One (M7) Accessories] bl4ckdr4gon:
Thanks for posting this, I'm not contented with the screen protector that came with my Otterbox Commuter.

Sent from my HTC_PN071
[One (M7) Accessories] Nippero:
I was also looking up these protectors.

Two things worry me though:

Its only what.. 4H hardness? Not nearly as hard as GG. Let me (well, us) know if yours gets scratched up soon...

They've had issues with "denting" and "peeling." A mk. 2 version is in the works and all owners of mk. 1 will get a free replacement (I have this in writing from them via Kickstarter).

So I might either buy it soon or wait for mk. 2 to be released to avoid the trouble.
[One (M7) Accessories] gk1984:
They make them look really tough in their demos. I didn't realize it was a 4H hardness, but I also don't know what gorilla glass is rated at to compare with. And yes, I did get a letter saying I'm getting the mk2 version too.

I'll share my experiences with it. 2 days and not a mark on it so far. I keep forgetting it's even on there until I feel the edges.
[One (M7) Accessories] Nippero:
It is very tough from what I understand. From an impact point of view anyway.

But its 4H compared to GG which is reported to be around 7H. SGP's Glas.t and Glas.tr are 8H (but not impact-resistant).

Glad to hear you have no scratches so far. Supposedly oleophobic coatings also help prevent scratches (at least it does according to Corning's demonstrations of coated vs uncoated gorilla glass) So hopefully that will help as well.

Looking forward to your future impressions, may or may not buy this soon. To-date, I've never dropped and cracked a screen (except the one time I got pissed and threw my phone at the wall...). Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself lol.
[One (M7) Accessories] gk1984:
Well... 4 days with my Rhino Shield and I'm starting to see what looks like a layer of material rippling slightly. It's near one edge that I think messed up putting it on (it's not sticking too well, I accidentally slid a rough edge there under the adhesive). It's only noticeable in harsh glare though, still prefer this to micro bubbles I've had in other protectors.

Still no scratches or other imperfections - the ones showing up are likely my own fault.
[One (M7) Accessories] Bigjim1488:
Looks interesting but I'll wait for the next gen to come out. I never like getting in on the ground floor of anything
[One (M7) Accessories] sauprankul:
I'm in the market for a new screen protector. I'm stuck between a cheapo off amazon, a glas.tr and this. This seemed to be the best option until I read this:

Gorilla glass is way harder than that, and glas.tr is way way harder than that. I am gonna use a TPU case, so impact resistance isn't as important to me as feel and scratch resistance. As others have said, I'd like to hear how this fares over time.

[LG Optimus G (International)] Emptyel:
This is my first thread here so i apologize if i'm in the wrong section. I have searched for previous threads related to this problem but didn't find anything about this specific issue.

So i bought my Optimus G a few months ago when it was first released in Canada and everything was working fine until i bricked the damn thing trying to flash custom ROMs (i'm new to the android world and didn't exactly know what i was doing..). LG was nice enough to flash the original ROM on the phone despite the fact that it was rooted and all.

Since then i didn't re-root the phone by fear of messing it up again but i did unlock it since i needed to use in on a european carrier.

Everything is working fine on the phone running on 4.1.2 except for this one problem. Whenever i'm listening to music with headphone or an aux. cable for the car there seems to be some connection issue. The music will play fine but after about 15 / 20min the sound will become all jittery and the music will constantly shift from very loud to very low . At this point the volume rocker will only control the phone volume (ringer) instead of the headset volume as if it didn't detect the headset anymore. Then i just need to unplug the headset and plug it back. It's not a huge deal but it gets pretty annoying and this happens EVERY TIME i listen to music. I tried a bunch of different players / headphones and it still happens.

I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same thing, not sure if it's a software thing or if there's a connection problem in my headphone jack.

Also, i find the maximum volume on the phone to be a bit low, is there anyway to jack it up a bit? i tried different equalizers to try and boost the volume but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Thanks in advance, cheers :)

Have you tried a complete factory reset?

You can back up existing data using the backup app.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Zerosem:
Did you make sure to look that there isn't anything obstructing the head phone port? the canned air stuff for computers works amazing to clean it out.

Worst comes to worst, it is replaceable... I haven't tried to replace one yet myself but I can look into it in the near future if you would like, (ease, price etc.)
[LG Optimus G (International)] Emptyel:
Thanks guys i will try both these options and let you know how it worked out :)

DJ_space is a music creation game for mobile hand held devices. You will have the ability to create different musical compositions by placing planets on an orbit around a star with the eventual outcome of creating a unique piece of music. DJ_space will provide an entertaining and engaging alternative to previous iterations of music creation games.

The DJ_space “Universe” consists of a number of galaxies that occupy an empty area of space created by you, each galaxy is a composition and within the galaxy is all different suns that have orbiting music planets. To create a new galaxy of music you will start with a large blank area of space that shows a range of planets that can be placed around a sun, doing this creates your first section of your track. Doing this with more suns and planets you can eventually compose your own track, it can be as long as you want and have as many samples of music as you need to become your very own space DJ!

✭ Features ✭

- Over 1000 Custom made audio samples for you to mix with.

- An Intuitive interface designed for ease of use in development of the tracks.

[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
Anybody else having the issue (or perhaps it's normal?) where running the Google Navigation app on your Nitro absolutely KILLS the battery...Even if you have your Nitro connected to a high-output power connector?

On mine, running CM10.1 RC5, even plugged into a 1.0A car adapter, the battery drains at about 1% per minute! The area around the CPU is super hot so I imagine running Nav pushes the CPU quite a bit...But this seems excessive.

Any thoughts on workarounds, fixes or alternate Nav apps?

Thanks.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
that's why all gps devices come with a car charger, it's the nature of the system combination of screen on alot, powering gps device etc.

or are u talking about worse than normal ?
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
This is actually a fair question, as what is "normal" usage when it comes to using Navigation on our Nitro? Is the 1% per minute drain to be expected?
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
What IS normal is high current draw during battery use. What ISN'T normal is the battery drain when plugged in. Try a different cord or even a different vehicle. I have noticed that on some cars for me it won't charge at all, but won't drain, and on others it will charge slowly. I would suggest also making sure that the cord is rated for at least 2 amps. When I tried the stock cord and charger with a power inverter it would drain the battery with GPS use, just not as bad as you described. Also with screen off I get a drain of about 5%/hr with the navigation working. This has been consistent with stock or cm10.1 for me
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
it's actually decided by the wiring in the vehicle, and the adapter (which is either a car plug that has usb or a straight car plug -> micro usb)

i drive 3 differant vehicles at work and my car and have 3 differant adapters, i noticed that each adapter has differant charge speeds, and each vehicle does as well, my dollar store charger can't even keep up with navigation drain, a rapid charger will. however in my car i have 2 outlets, one in the center console and one in the dash, the center console outlet is more powerful than the dash.

so if u can't control your vehicle power buy a higher priced rapid charger.

if you really want good charge, buy an adapter that turns your car plug into a wall outlet plug, then plug the wall charger that came with your phone into it, that will probably be the max possible current you can get in any outlet, the higher quality the wall outlet converter the better.

if you notice you can charge your phone in a wall plug about 5x faster than a cheap car adapter plug

that is why they added a "slow charge" warning in some rom's to hint to people that it isn't the phone that is broken it's that there is a LOW current coming into the micro usb port.

there are also some kernels that will force a faster charge and remove some media transfer over usb capabilities, but i think that only works when plugged into PC (not sure)
[LG Nitro HD] mpsantiago:
I've noticed mine drain like this too. Nav annihilates my battery, if it's plugged in it still slowly drains. Maybe someone still running a stock ICS ROM can try it for comparison.

My old phone (HTC) also drained fast on nav, but plugging it in would result in a VERY slow charge instead of a slow drain.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
The only time I experienced an actual drain when plugged in was while using the stock adapter on a power inverter. My car adapter plugs straight into the micro USB and us rated at 2A that is why I suggested a 2A adapter. Also to answer mpsantiago I experience no battery drain on stock ICS but on cm10.1 it actually charges faster. The only thing I can say is get a 2A adapter as the phone clearly draws more than the stock 1.2A adapter can deliver.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
that's interesting... well i guess the moral of the story is just find a good charger, usually dollar store ones are garbage, also, use a widget like power toggles which has a multi setting brightness toggle, and turn your brightness low while your screen is staying on in navigation, my only suggestions. you could also try a new ROM or flashing firmware for gps hardware but i doubt that is worth the effort, if i use a cheap charger or use a bad outlet on an old work truck i have these problems with ANY ROM, but i don't have them using a good charger.
[LG Nitro HD] nvincent:
I love this phone and all, but it tends to have strange battery drain tendencies. As in, the screen isn't what drains the battery most, a lot of the time. :/

I happen to have the 6200 variant, if that makes any difference.
[LG Nitro HD] notzippy:
I had installed the yahoo weather app and went from 2 day on one charge to less then 8 hours on a charge. Some apps are a bastard on the battery..

Nz
[LG Nitro HD] Technocian:
Yes, Navigation kills battery. I too have it plugged into my car charger and while it slows the drain down, it can not charge it fast enough to keep up with Navigation's drain.

I'm running HO!NO!'s ATT V20f rom with the latest Wind Kernel. It's not just your phone. The Nitro gets hot and if you didn't have the car charger plugged in while running Navigation, your battery would easily be dead in about an hour.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
You have to use a 2 amp charger with the navigation app with the screen on. As part of my job I am constantly using Google navigator. The cord I purchased was $40 and it charges fine, slowly but fine. To test this I borrowed a buddy's cheap charger that he bought at Walmart and sure enough I experienced battery drain, as it was only rated at 1 amp. The good news just hit the power button on the phone to turn off the screen. You will still get the voice guidance and your phone will charge or get a decent charger. BTW my charger has charged my phone no matter what ROM I used from Gingerbread to Jellybean.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
good advice, but if you need the screen because of volume issues or you don't have a bluetooth stereo to make listening to audio easy, then you can just turn your brightness down as far as possible, i use power toggles for this its a widget with a brightness button that has up to 4 options, so you can push it and toggle through, mine is 10% 20% 30% 75% and there is a settings for auto, this is handy because depending on the sun at the time you want to be able to quickly swap between the lower brightness settings to find one suitable for seeing but that has minimal battery drain.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
I think we are now beating a dead horse with this one as both of us are starting to repeat ourselves.

(Rep is at the new Samsung store in best buy)

buy an $850 unlocked note 2, insert 4g lte carrier SIM in philippines, all is good. Do a happy dance.

Btw she says, you won't get the cdma vzw model but a gsm like tmo or att...

Vzw phones won't work on foreign networks properly

VERIZON SAYS:

buy the vzw carrier subsidized phone and its already unlocked. Talk and text no problem but DATA NOT GONNA WORK.

Just pop in a foreign SIM and boom.. just the apn settings are locked by Samsung.

They don't carrier lock them.

Vzw tells me Samsung lower level sales doesn't know this but higher up support does..

She recommends I get a razr or iPhone 5 as they apn isn't locked.

So which is true?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
Get an unlocked gt n7100. Gsm model. And you can do much better than $850 easily. Without trying you should be able to get one for less than $600 after tax. You probably won't get lte in Philippines though

Just wanted to see how you guys are liking the device. Do you guys feel satisfied and happy with it? The specs are minimal in terms of an upgrade I feel so I'm having a hard time justifying it.

Of course there is something in the back of my mind that says wait and see what other phones will be released but I guess you can play that waiting game forever in tech.
