[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trud9340:
Is there a way to search the phone for files/apps/settings? I'm most interested in the settings search - I find myself constantly scrambling around to find certain settings that are buried deep in the menu system. I want to be able to search by a keyword and be able to jump right to a given setting/app/file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trud9340:
I notice a search option on the home screen when I click the settings /options softkey but it doesn't seem to do anything (I'm on bonestock rom).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mooselips:
If you press and hold the "menu" key, Search will open. Then you can hit menu and settings, and choose what to search in the phone. But "settings" is not an option, unfortunately.

A different approach. Maybe you can put some settings shortcuts on one of your screens, the ones you use often and don't want to look for them.

Another option, if you swipe down with 2 fingers, you'll see a lot of toggles for a lot of settings. If you touch one of them, it turns that setting on and off. But hold it, and it will take you to settings.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] situman:
Here's the issue and it's the same on both my N7 2013 and N10. Ever since upgrading to 4.3, the AOSP browser becomes unresponsive while surfing the xda site and some other sites too, but mostly xda. It happens on stock rom and kernel as well as custom roms with stock kernels and custom kernels. Some roms will have a pop up telling me the site has become unresponsive. Some roms the browser simply stops registering touches as in I can no longer click on link and etc. It's not instant but only after like 5 to 10 mins of being on this site. I'm not trashing this site or the tab or anything. Just reporting my experience. Otherwise the tab has been fabulous!

I'm having the same problem with Dolphin and Chrome with the XDA site. I haven't noticed any particular problems with other sites.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] thenrik:
Hi:

I find that the XDA site is completely unusable on the Nexus 7 2013. The higher resolution screen cannot refresh quickly enough to keep up with the continual flashing block ads. Trying to select a sub-forum is an exercise in futility as pointing ones finger toward a link, only results in the page moving elsewhere.

I surf XDA with my Nexus 7 2012, also running 4.3. XDA's excessive flashing block ads are incompatible with the Nexus 7 2013.

Have you tried changing the theme at the bottom left?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] stevemw:
I'm having the same problem with Chrome on my N7. I think it's a browser issue unrelated to JB 4.3 because through the browsing XDA on my desktop does not hang or freeze (much) the browser is prone to freezes and crashes in general. It started a few months ago as I recall and has gotten worse.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] situman:
Interesting so we've beta testing their website. Well at least we narrowed down the issue. Will see how things are.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] handofendowment:
I'm having this issue too. It loads way too slow.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] thenrik:
Hi:

Thanks for the useful suggestion. The default, XDA 2013 Beta 1024 refreshes several times a minute, completely useless. XDA 2013 refreshes once a minute, still too often. XDA 2010 seems to work best, though still subject to freezing and crashing. Once you set the option, XDA seems to remember your preference. At least I can use my Nexus 7 2013 to view XDA now, albeit still with difficulty.

I know that XDA has to pay for all the bandwidth but the hardware of mobile devices can't keep up with the over-the-top machine gun like flashing block ads. Are we supposed to only view the forum on pc and laptops with advanced graphics cards? There has to be some middle ground. Come on XDA, it shouldn't be no ads or ads that prevent users from viewing the site.

My mini has this habit of creating alot of folders like 0504080001, 0505080001, and so on to store my pictures taken from its camera. It's very frustrating to navigate each folder just to find one photo. Any one knows how to disable it from creating such folders and instead just store all my photos under ONE folder??

thanks!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
You need to upgrade the camera to the latest version either by upgrading the ROM (1.12) or by finding an installer for the camera app itself (don't know if it exists for the latest ROM version)

Does the 1.12 ROM give us the facility to store all the pictures in one folder?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pratoscope:
So I am using Sungsonic HD rom on my N7100.It doesnt support Simplistic framework in tablet UI. Also the notification bar is too big for my liking. It has so many icons in the bar that you lose real estate and the beauty of the phone. I cant even get videos in 16:9 because of the statusbar. I really dig the Floating multiwindows though. Also, its really hard to find every app in the tray bar as all apps are in there.

Im thinking of switching to Moon Rom. Does it support Simplistic Framework in tablet UI? If not, is there a way to get transparent status bar in tablet UI ? Also is it possible to remove soft keys nav bar as it is not really needed for note 2? Any solution will do for Sungsonic or Moon Rom as long as floating multiwindows work and soft keys are removed, and if possible to get transparent status bar.

Thanks

[Moto X Q&A] SubliminalME:
So, one thing that grabbed my interest was the mention of dual antennas, etc for the Moto X. I'm a Verizon customer, and reception in my area is spotty, at best...so I'd put reception as the most important spec I can look for in a phone...but reviewers NEVER speak to reception in their reviews...which I find frustrating.

Has anyone heard anything, or experienced anything, as far as that goes? I have a GS3 right now...and on TW it's ok...but I'd like something more...

Anyway,

Thanks!

[Moto X Q&A] jmill75:
Not sure about dual antennas but Motorola has always had better radios than Samsung. One reason I cant wait to get back into a MOTO device.
[Moto X Q&A] tgerbracht:
I always found HTC radios and GPS to be very strong. I wonder how Motorola compares.
[Moto X Q&A] 350Rocket:
I have an HTC ONE S I bought used a few months ago. Last weekend I got the first real test of it's reception when on vacation up North. My girlfriend's Iphone4s and my sisters GS3 are all on the same HSPA network (Telus/Bell). Inside the cottage the Galaxy S3 had absolutely no reception at all at any time. The One S and IP4S were both about equal having times of no service and times of 1-2 bars depending on where we sat the phone. They both went from 3g to H+ back and forth and could both just barely load webpages and facebook and send/receive text messages.

Previously I've had the Desire HD and Nexus One both of which I didn't have a problem with reception. I also tried a Desire Z but sold it, it had horrible reception and I didn't like the keyboard/feel of it.

I've yet to have a Motorola smartphone but hope that will change eventually.
[Moto X Q&A] celnut:
Poor Reception

I have a Moto X on Verizon & also one on AT&T. I have found that both of them do not get very good reception. I live in a high signal area for both Carriers. When I talk on the X people always say they can't hear me good & that I am breaking up. I have not had this problem with other phones in my home area. I love the phone but can not keep it because the reception is sub-par. Motorola phones use to always have good reception but since Google bought the handset division I can only assume they changed something?
[Moto X Q&A] n82k:
Not sure if trolling. This phone has the most awesome reception of any I've used and I've used a many.
[Moto X Q&A] eVoLpaNda:
I just traded the Droid Maxx in for the Moto X and I just got off a call where I was told I was breaking up and she couldn't hear me. I didn't have that problem with the maxx. I also noticed every time I restart the phone it takes a long time for the Sim card to get recognized. I'm not sure what's up but if it keeps it up I will have to see what Verizon says.

[Moto X Q&A] jedi380:
I live in North NJ and previously had a VZW Galaxy Nexus that would regularly cut out during the same stretch of my daily commute to/from work. It would go to 0 bars of 4G/3G and maybe pickup a little 1X. On my VZW Moto X, I now see 2 bars of 4G over that same stretch. So far, I've noticed better reception.

I can't comment on the GPS just yet as I haven't really user that.

[Google Chromecast] andrewhchiu:
As I was setting it up, I had no idea I needed a WiFi device for first time set up. I was using my desktop connected to my router with the WiFi turned off. So quickly I assumed it was because of that. (I have a WAP broadcasting another SSID so i turned off my router) After I turned on my router, I was still getting the same problem stating my WiFi was off. Then I feared that my desktop needed to be a WiFi device to work with the Chromecast. After some quick searches I found that the WiFi device was just for setup which I did on my phone and got it up and running smoothly.

So my setup was kind of like this, and i feared that it would not work. After the setup, I just installed the extension on Chrome for all my computers in the family and it showed up on all of them. Relieved and happy that it was simpler than I was dreading.
[Google Chromecast] rkirmeier:
Common sense should tell you that you can't connect to the Chromecast through your wireless network before it get connected to your wireless network. Assuming it's protected with a password how do you suppose Chromecast would connect to it? And for open networks I think it's illegal to just auto connect to open networks. I would think that most people buying a Chromecast would have a smartphone or tablet.
[Google Chromecast] andrewhchiu:
I figured it was going to be something like connecting a bluetooth device where it would broadcast its own signal and then you can connect to it. but i guess i wasn't thinking.
[Google Chromecast] ben_pyett:
Echo the majority of the above comments, still too early to be overly concerned that Google hasn't yet released their chrome cast API.

Waiting for CM casting to go live and hopefully be implemented into aokp.

Not tried casting chrome tabs from my laptop yet or my hard wired pc workstation, is it true that sounds cabled PC's can have issues connecting to chromecast

Am I meant to be able to cast from chrome browser tabs on my N4 ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StNickZA:
One of the more annoying things I have to deal with when flashing a new ROM and/or doing a wipe, is the fact that Android insists on joining some of my contacts into a single one.

For example, "Mom" and "Dad". Since much of their information is similar (home telephone, address etc), Android joins them into one, and when my Mom calls me, I see "Dad" calling. This isn't something that Google is doing, as they are still two separate contacts when I look at them in a browser, so I am pretty sure it's Android that's joining them on my phone. Its easily fixed by opening one of the contacts and clicking "separate", but its rather annoying to have to do it every time I come from a clean install (which in my case is fairly often).

Anyone know how I can disable this behaviour, or at least see which other contacts have been joined without my knowledge?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
I had added guy on facebook because he has the same name as me, and I thought it was funny. FB used to allow you to sync your contacts with the official app, and after fb did its thing I would sync my google contacts so the fb contacts were added to my google account. Well, when I did this the first time it added this guy to my google contacts, and every single time I flashed a rom, like you, it would merge my own contact with his, and his phone number would become the primary, so it would also use his profile pic. It drove me nuts until one day I just removed the poor guy from my fb friends list just because I couldn't figure out how to stop this from happening. This was 3 years ago it started, and I just removed him a few months ago....so it's been an issue for at least 2 1/2 years and I never found a solution. I wish you luck, because I know the aggrevation it causes first hand ;)

I am having a problem receiving texts from only 2 of my contacts. This has persisted thru 2 devices and custom and stock roms, so thinking its a network problem. However, in calling AT&T, they (of course) could find no visual reason for this. It started on my skyrocket with slimbean build 6, but has persisted thru updating builds on that, then I got a new s3 and of course brand new sim and am running stock based deTmobilized on that. One contact is AT&T also, while the other is T-Mobile. AT&T gave me a line about my Gmail account, and if I could troubleshoot by putting my sim in a non android phone to test. I don't have access to any non android phone (why would I want to? Lol) Can anyone try to help me figure this out? wouldn't be a big deal but since one contact is having my grandbaby, I really need to be able to stay in contact with her since I live 800 miles from her.
