[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ..::Viny::..:
Hi,

I tried installing the Sony Top Contacts widget on Nexus 4. The widget got installed without error, but i cannot see the same in widgets list (used various launchers to test, showed up in none )

Can anyone look into it and let me know why its not showing up in Widgets list on Nexus, where as same works fine in Sony Xperia Z.

Attached is the apk.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yash295:
Because they are made that way! this sony widgets can only be added to xperia launchers. if you want this widgets to work install xperia launcher first.

I use life contacts and I think it updates to top contacts https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.zwooshi
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ..::Viny::..:
yes i tried installing life.contacts, i did got installed but there was this message on top widget saying update, and when update was clicked, it took to play store link which doesnt exist. So i guess sony has yet not added the topcontacts widget on playstore hence update is not working :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
ok well I actually like life.contacts better and will check to see if I kept the apk for Top contacts... did you try searching for it on the web version of the play store

If I am watching a movie on the couch myself, is the size enough? And how big are the black bars that appear when watching 16:9 movies?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Username invalid:
The size will depend on the person. I find this is a good compromise between a small phone and a heavy bigger tablet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] teh roxxorz:
It's perfect in my opinion.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Stempanssi:
Thanks to both and how about the black bars?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] samnoon:
The screen is 16:10, so when watching a 16:9 movie/TV show there will be small black bars. When watching a 2.35:1 anamorphic film, there will be larger black bars. Media apps will have features that zoom in and fill the whole screen, but I wouldn't recommend this as it cuts off part of the image and can drastically change the feel of a scene.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Stempanssi:
Okay thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sRDennyCrane:
I have 10" tablets along with original and new Nexus 7s. It depends on the situation. For watching media, the N7s are great for watching media on the go. In the end, the N7 is a compromise between a phone and a large tablet. When I want something more than my phone, but don't feel like lugging a 10.1" tablet around, I bring an N7.

As for the bars, TV content is true 16:9, so it'll fill the screen save for the small area at the bottom for the task bar. Cinematic aspect ratios will have larger black bars, as they will on any device. Be glad you don't own an iPad. Those things are like using a 1978 Magnavox TV.

I had the TF101 and when it's time for some videos it's decision time (vs. N7).

Now I have the NookHD+, it's the Nook (9", light enough) for home videos watching.

The N7 leaves the house with me since it fits in my pants' pocket.

The Nook is a great device for the$$$ and already has a few good ROMs.

How to flick the keyboard to one hand keyboard (portrait view)? My way is to pinch out the keyboard horizontally but only 1 out of 20-40 times i get success . Am i doing it wrong or this feature is buggy in ICS as well as JB? Not to mention in landscape view switching between full size keyboard and thumb keyboard is as smooth as butter by doing the same procedure.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Hardeep_Singh:
155 views and no reply. Looks like either no one is using stock rom or never used this feature or not intrested. I am adding screen shots just to clear things up, hope this time somebody can provide a solution for me.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Hardeep_Singh:
Well, by doing the same thing i think i sorted out how to efficiently convert portrait keyboard to one hand keyboard. 1. Just put down the mobile onto something like bed or table.

2. Now here is the trick- using your index fingers of both hands just pinch out the keyboard horizontally as fast as u can.

3. Do it 2 times in each attempt, and be fast while doing so.

Now following this procedure i managed to flick the portrait keyboard just in nearabout 2 tires. :thumbup:

Bud plz do inform me if you've got any other better method.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
The P769 model don't have that feature. Well we do but we have to edit the build.prop to enable it ;)

No everyone's hands are the same. I don't use that feature, I prefer to swype.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] void00:
I was able to do this without laying the phone down.

No need to use two fingers as well.

Just use the top row of the keyboard.

Take your phone in your hand and use your thumb to slide along the top row quickly, either to the left or to the right.

The keyboard will switch to one had keyboard mode, and the side will depend on which side you are sliding.

Happy typing!

[Java for Android App Development] rampo:
I've published an app in Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pikotech.bo2guide), so I've seen the number of updates is so slow, and this is a problem because I release a lot of them. I would show a "New updated available" dialog that redirect the user to my app's PlayStore tab. To do this I've thought a system to parse the source(Command+Alt+U in OS X Chrome) of my app's PlayStore Web Page. The info that stores my app's version available is this

Version Name:

itemprop="softwareVersion"> 1.0.7

How to compare on of these values with the version installed of the app? If the content parsed will be higher of the version installed, I will show a dialog with "new updated avaialble", that can redirect the user on PlayStore to updated my app.

Or there is a simple method or a library that show new "New update available" dialog

InputStream is = response.getEntity().getContent();

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThuliumTM:
Hi,

A few months ago I installed The Italian Job 1.0 rom on my device. Everything went smooth had no problems. But a few weeks ago I wanted to update my rom. I tried booting into recovery but the following occurred: I received the message if I wanted to continue. I pressed the volume up button to continue. The next screen is the loading screen before the recovery. With the following message 'Downloading... Do not turn off target !!'. But nothing happens. Not even after an hour. I have no idea what's wrong. I can still boot into android and use my device and all the features with it.

I googled the problem but I found nothing to solve the problem. Maybe you guys have an idea?

Greetings

And I've the on-ears headphone Phillips Fidelio M1 which is excellent.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nreuge:
It works but I prefer the stock EQ.

Actually, I'm looking for a 10 bands EQ.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nreuge:
Actually, 10-band equalizers exist but are not supported by the Xperia stock roms.

Under these conditions, the stock Sony EQ winth 5-band (treeble and mid) and clearbass is the best compromize.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] miszku:
Bought Sony MH-EX300AP headphones, works perfect for me. Don't need any equaliser any more :)

Wysłane z mojego LT30p za pomocą Tapatalk 4
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nreuge:
Actually, I was too hasty in my judgment. I've tested it again and I find this is a great equalizer, better than the stock one!!

Surprising!! Even the best headphones often need equalizers, because their rendering usually tends to be flat (in order to be universal). What that makes them good is that they can still give good rendering within a large range of equalizer settings.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord dredd:
Hi

got an EPIC 4G

it heats up excruciatingly while charging , especially from top back area

also no matter its a new or old battery , any modem , kernel or rom , the phone drains like anything , a fully charged battery drains sitting idle within in 4 hrs :(

bought it off ebay for a friend whose epic i had bricked

any help would be appreciated.

regards
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preston411:
Mines was the same way. Mine even drained when the power was OFF. Some things I noticed is that on wifi, it drains less. When not on wifi, if I have a weak signal, it gets warm and drains like nobody's business (4hrs like yours). Turn off 4G. Turn off bluetooth when not in use. Make sure the gps is not on. Some people say that this doesnt matter because the gps will come on only when needed, but I noticed a difference. Stop some of your programs / apps from running in background, or stop them from booting at start if you dont use them much (do this with ALL IN ONE TOOLBOX on PlayStore). Lastly, let the battery go through a full discharge a couple of times... this is all that I can think of as of now. HTH.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoshotjr2006:
Just my 2 cents, but it seems like my phone heats up more when on stock and cm7, compared to cm10.1. Heat issues and battery drain virtually gone on cm10.1, but a pesky random reboot bug that I can't figure out.

There are numerous thread on this topic.. but i am pretty sure my case is unique

Hello guys.... I'm new here... So i don't know the rules and stuff...

My problem is that i have flashed my custom Rom to Jelly Blast V3.0.3 ... and when i flashed... I had Network problem (My sim was not Detecting)... So i was told to Install 2 files namely ;

Kernel-201211201515-E3-boot.img.zip

Modulos201211201515-modules.zip

I installed both these files and realised that i flashed my Kernel to

2.6.35.7 rafael@baugis #201209221033

.... And yeah, My Sim card was reading now.

So the problem comes here, I cannot access my sim contacts, I was told that it is because of the Kernel...

Before you tell me solutions i have ;

Downloaded Sim Contacts related app's

Done Gmail Contact back-up's

I am really confused now... What should i do now... Should I change the Kernel again/ If yes, to what? ..... Or should i download some other file which can help me? Please help me! thank you...

On my Galaxy Nexus was 4.2.2 takju version and at rhe time was locked and non rooted.

I have downloaded Google factory image for it. Then I decided to unlock boot loader since I was going to flash factory image.

Everything went well. No trouble at all.

So now I am on unlocked bootloader and still rooted.

But now battery performance seems to be poor (much worse then before).

Any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
How is that poor battery? If anything that's considered good, especially on a 1750mah battery, what did you expect?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dejan16v:
Used to be better on 4.2.2.

Look at the break on blue line which indicate WiFi was off in that period.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Yes, and your screen shows 57% which indicates it clocked almost past 2hrs+ onscreen time. Users need to understand 4.2.2 was a

broken

firmware there's nothing good about it, which is why the update was skipped for 80% of the OEM smartphones and directly onward to 4.3

Custom kernel's may solve this problem for you but you need to consider the technical aspects and coding that went into this, smooth experience comes at the expense of something, also custom kernels stick to a min freq of 384, stock kernel runs at 500+ and 1026 on the N4. Considerably for mpdecision that handles all the tasks, that's considered good.

Also, how is this general? This should be in the Q&A section.

I thought that I'd mention that 4.3 also dropped the min. frequency on the Galaxy Nexus to 250, IIRC.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
Flashing the factory images includes a ROM and kernel, so you don't need to flash either of those. It also flashes radio and bootloader.

By default it does wipe everything, including sdcard. You can alter the script or flash things manually to get around this.
