[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simmo3D:
Hey everyone.

Is there any apps that I can use to disable background syncing that don't require root?

I currently use the Qualcomm BatteryGuru but noticed that FB and twitter among others keep enabling themselves even when I turn them off.

All I really want is Gmail running and everything else turned off when I'm not running them.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Willy_P:
In the August, 2013 issue of Consumer Reports the Galaxy Note 8.0 is rated #1 ahead of the iPad Mini in the "7 TO 8-INCH SCREEN TABLETS, WI-FI ONLY" category.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] FaeMinx:
As it should be. Anyone who puts the iPad Mini first is either being paid by Apple, or delusional.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] 64kb:
This issue of the magazine was the final reason for me buying this device to replace my iPad Mini.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Uh60m Pilot:
Awesome to hear. I switched from the Nexus 7. I found the 7 inch screen a little to small for me. This is my first Samsung product and I am completely happy with it. I have not even found a reason to root it yet :) :good:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ExploreMN:
That's not true FaeMinx, they could just be stupid.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] agambhandari:
Clearly, someone who researches the products even a bit before buying would go for the Note 8.0. Also, most customers who take these surveys are included in this bracket.

The people buying the iPad Mini do it cause they find it pretty!!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] redpoint73:
The fact that a mainstream media outlet like CR has rated this relatively lesser-known product as the "best" in its category is certainly refreshing. But lets not get all fanboy here. Everyone has different preferences, uses their devices differently, and therefore has a different reason for considering one tablet "better" of "best" versus another. I love my Note 8, but I'm not going to belittle others, because they made a different choice.

If a person is heavily invested in the iOS ecosystem (such as purchased apps); or if they are not tech savvy, and don't want to learn their way around a new OS, the iPad Mini might still be a good choice.

Yes, if you base your judgement purely on technical capabilities and specifications, the Note 8 is the clear winner. Or for people that prefer customization, instead of being force-fed most aspects of their device's interface. But not everybody cares about such things.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] madsquabbles:
i agree. i'm not sure if i'll be getting my daughter an android tablet for two reasons:

1. i've already bought her a lot of apps on her ipad and don't want to buy them again on android

2. i don't want to share my contacts, emails, everything personal with her when i set up her android device under my account. at least with ios i can set up email and store accounts separately. i can do it with android, but that'll require me to either make a dummy acct for the play acct or lockdown some of the apps, which won't work if she needed to use any of those applications - unless some of you guys have any idea on sharing an android tablet with family without having to buy apps twice.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] andyfarmery:
Maybe one day in the distant future we might just get the fabled 4.2 update with multiuser support...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] madsquabbles:
i had it on my gnex but never had to use it. does anyone know if it allows sharing apps btw users while locking down email/contacts/etcs from each other.

my s4 has 4.2.2 but no acct setting (other than the standard).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] k000:
Amen...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pakure:
I tried the multi user set up on my Asus tf 300 pad with 4.2.1 but it made the tablet too slow. ... hopefully it's not the case with note 8 because of more ram and i/o read and write speeds
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] oldblue910:
You couldn't have had it on your Galaxy Nexus. Android 4.2 only supports multiuser on tablets, not phones. Unless maybe some custom ROM deb decided to shoehorn it into a ROM?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] apprentice:
I am also looking to swap my Nexus 7 for the Note 8, I am curious to know how the screen resolution compares? I think the Nexus shows very sharp text, one thing I love about it. After my brief ownership of a Galaxy Note 10.1 (with pretty awful blurry text) I am a bit sceptical. Would love to know your thoughts on this and any possible regrets on switching from N7 to the Note 8
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] hertsjoatmon:
While I havent tried the nexus 7 in great detail so cant compare, I do have a 10 inch tablet thats the same res as the note 10.1 and can say the difference between that and the 8.0 is great.

Best way to decide if its good enough for you is to look at the PPI figures...

Note 10.1 - 149

Note 8.0 - 213

nexus 7 - 216

Ipad Mini - 163

Ipad 2 - 132

Ipad retina - 264

As, you can see, the note 8.0 is much sharper than both the ipad mini and the note 10.1 almost identical to the Nexus 7 but not quite in retina display teritory.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] madsquabbles:
most likely you're right. i thought the gnex was my only 4.2.2 device (other than the s4) but my nook hd+ is running 4.2.2. i'll have to take a look at it an play around with it. i haven't turned it on since i've gotten the gn8.

Nexus 7 vs Note 8.0

Response moved to new thread called "Nexus 7 to Note 8.0. Thoughts after switching"
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] JAG50:
Very thoughtful comments. My son is extremely smart and tech sac savvy, yet he chose Apple versus Android. We have quite interesting discussions. We never can agree on which one is the best, so I've opted to leave it as it.

As a manager for a large corporation, I do have some experience in marketing, production and design. Apple has great products, but their demise will be their lack of diversity. Samsung has too many products in so many markets and Apple will never be able to catch them. As we can ask see, all tablets (tier 1) are reaching a point of saturation and there will be nothing else to add to them until a new product arises.

So my estimation is that Samsung and Android are here to stay and Apple has but a few years left before they become the next BlackBerry.

But why rub it in their faces? Let's just let then living their dreams. No harm.

JAG50
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] skeeterpro:
Valid points.

First thing I would do is list the apps that you paid for on iOS you would want on Google Play. I've seen that often the Apple App Store charges for apps that are free on Google Play. Once you've determined which apps those were, that would give you some concrete data to make a decision.

Once multi-user profiles are set one can "define" privileges. Or so I've read. I've not needed to do this myself but it appears others have.

Yes it is I've done it several times, do you won't to s-on? And return back to stock ? With hboot saying locked?

Running RUUs do not affect S-Off status.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] avwheeler:
Don't know if this is what you are trying to accomplish, don't believe it undoes anything, but might make it look stock, think there was another thread around somewhere, did not really read the thread.

Sent from Taptalk on HTC One on some awesome custom Rom!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] benny3:
You can always go back to s-on with the fastboot oem write secureflag3 command.

I am note sure if thats the exact flag number so find out first before running it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mhsbrian:
Isn't one of the benefits of s-off being able to Ruu while being unlocked still? ¿
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 18th.abn:
Do NOT run the secureflag 3 command to s-on. You will brick the phone. You need to run the ruu first so you have a stock, SIGNED hboot first. After the ruu is complete then go into fastboot and run

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

if you do it with the moonshine hboot on the phone it will never turn on again.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
This is correct. You never want to writesecureflag with an unsigned hboot.

[MENTION=1778445]mhsbrian[/MENTION] That is what I said. Running an RUU doesn't affect your S-Off. You can run RUUs for different devices with S-Off if you tried. (but I wouldn't)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mhsbrian:
You didn't understand what I was saying. I'm saying in order to run a Ruu normally you have to relock the bootloader first before you can run it. With s-off, you can just Ruu without relocking I already understand that soff isn't affected by Ruu.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] fernando sor:
You can run the plug in eg1212 made for this phone and change moonshine hboot to read whatever you want.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thatotherguy..:
What you need to do is, relock bootloader, run lastest RUU, unlock bootloader, s-off with revone (even tho you still are s-off), s-on with revone reboot into bootloader run writesecureflag 3, reboot to system, then reboot to bootloader and then run RUU one more time and bam you got locked bootloader again (not relocked)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauprankul:
AFAIK you cannot make it say "LOCKED" again unless you gain S-off and manually change what it says.

When you relock the bootloader, it says exactly that: "RELOCKED".

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathrania:
After doing s off.... And bootloader relocked.... Flash your tmobile RUU..... After that, you can remove the relocked bootloader status, and make it to Locked using revone, and in fastboot mode, you can come back to s on... Its mentioned in the s off revone thread on 2nd post...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewp3481:
Go to another htc thread and find it. All you gotta do is re lock the phone. Run the ruu and then a fast boot command. I think it's fastboot writesecureflag3. Double check. Its doable. I promise.

Hi,

I just killed my xda!

I had an I-mate jam with me for some time and i copied its rom and then tried to upgrade my XDA I, and then when it says completed i had to do a hard reset and instead i did a soft one (idiot!).

So, either my XDA I did not digest what i was trying to put on it or the soft reset did some killing...

its not switching on the power is there every thing is fine, if i put it on the cradle, windows does not recognize it anymore > USB Device Not Recognized

Wht to do now? i have other roms but i dont know how to install them since its not being detected and the activesync is not connecting as well...

how can i reincarnate my XDA?????

thanks

I just received my replacement G2 (after two decades of owning a cell phone, I finally joined the ranks of those spilling drinks on them) and am in the process of rooting it. I'm using this guide from the Wiki and everything has been working however I'm stuck at the downgrade process. After I run 'adb reboot bootloader', I press the power button as instructed but absolutely nothing happens.

I've checked and double checked the MD5 as well as that the file is named PC10IMG.zip and not PC10IMG.zip.zip but every time I follow the steps, still nothing happens.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
when you boot into bootloader it should automatically search for a couple different files on sd card, do you see the text scrolling?

if so it is either not on the root of sdcard (not in any folders)

or it is not named correctly (windows hides extensions sometimes, but it looks like you know this)

or sd isnt mounting (bad tray or whatever)

or sd isnt partitioned to fat32

only reasons why it wouldnt find it

but either way fastboot is safer so why not just use this method? it should be in the guide you linked

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] AuliaYF:
this is my second MOD, today i wana share you how to control the brightness by dragging your StatusBar.

Files needed:

Attached smali files

your brain

step:

decompile you SystemUI.apk

extract my smali to your smali folder

open status_bar.xml and find this code:

<LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/icons" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">

put this code below the '@id/icons' layout:

<com.example.ucupui.StatusBarBrightness android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">

don't forget to close the layout before '</LinearLayout>'

open you AndroidManifest.xml and insert this code:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />

re-compile the SystemUI

SIGN your SystemUI.apk

Push it to /system/app with rw-r--r--

Fix:

Open StatusBarBrightness$2.smali

find this line:

rename it to:

put this code above .line 39:

.line 38
const-string v2, "power"

invoke-static {v2}, Landroid/os/ServiceManager;->getService(Ljava/lang/String;)Landroid/os/IBinder;

move-result-object v2

invoke-static {v2}, Landroid/os/IPowerManager$Stub;->asInterface(Landroid/os/IBinder;)Landroid/os/IPowerManager;

move-result-object v2

invoke-interface {v2, v5}, Landroid/os/IPowerManager;->setBacklightBrightness(I)V
