While all that does make sense, it still doesn't make sense as to why they build something as preposterous as an 8GB Internal, why not set the bar from 16-32, what is that? A storage for ants? Like seriously apps are all HD, contents are all downloadable and scale per update, the OS already eats up 2GB and core files about 500MB which leaves you to your nandroid and backups which take roughly 500-1024MB and it doesn't make sense at all.

Actually, the choice made sense to me. Because not everyone needs that much storage. When I bought the N4 I looked at what I actually had been storing on my old phone. Mostly it was pictures. Raw images, unedited, unsorted, many of which would be deleted later when I moved them to my computer and winnowed them.

Clean install of 4.3, I had 5gb available. After setting up 40 apps and doing a nandroid backup I had 3+gb available. I've taken several dozen photos and I still have 3+gb available - because I found I could push them off my phone to my home network server using the foldersync app. I stream music from my server or Play. I can't think of anything meaningful or useful to put in those 3gb.

Everyone's needs differ of course but local storage that is not needed and just adds expense makes no sense to me. my $0.02

I have a 16gb gnex, nexus 4, and a 7, with all my music and apps on, with only one game at a time, I have 2gb free, I rely on the cloud for most of my files and videos, but the second they put out a 64gb nexus phone, even if it was 600$ , I would buy it

Really not liking the trend of no SD card. Sucks for those whom have a lot content like games, music and movies and either have a limited data plan or flat out are "living on the edge" I would have no problem adding an extra $20 to swallow the cost of an SD card(especially since many buy phones either on contract or eip plans. Not to mention sdcard are cheaper than internal flash drive. I have about 60GB of music in Google play I now have to pay for the unlimited plan and if I want to listen to my music the way I like. I come to accept that Google, HTC and other OEMS are doing away with SD cards but thankfully there are other OEMS listening to our wants in regards to this issue like Samsung and Sony. Thankfully there are options unlike Apple

Well, since that NSA **** came out, who would use cloud services anyways? Don't get me wrong, I have nothing to hide, but that's one of the reasons you got doors at home. You can choose to let someone in. I didn't invite Obama, or the NSA or any other political institution to share my files or conversations with them. Already dislike the fact that google scans my mail to personalize ads and stuff.

Hope we will have a private life soon. Don't know if an sd slot would help getting rid of the feeling beeing "scanned".
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Most people knew that NSA crap was hoping on already. Not sure why everyone acted so surprised. And yes, I as do millions use the cloud. I don't think they have millions people just browsing peoples data. They may gather it but when they search through it I'm sure it is targeted.

As for the SD card... 16 GB is enough for a phone. Years ago when phones had very small drives then yeah.. but not really needed on a phone. Most people carry around so much crap that they never even use. If an SD card is important then there are other phones to buy.

I have a Virgin Mobile S3.

So far, I have successfully flashed PA 3.69 and Liquidsmooth 2.9 on it. All went well with initialization and setup. However, data did not at first seem to work.

When I changed the network mode to CDMA/EvDo, I was able to receive a 3G signal, but never was able to get 4G to work.

I flashed a modem I found on another forum and altered the apns-conf.xml in /system/etc, but that did not help. I also flashed both ROMs on top of base build MD7, if that helps anyone.

Would data feasibly work if I flashed on top of MD4, instead?

Simple fix - maybe....

I was having the same problem and decided to check the easiest thing first - the setting for Mobile Networks (Settings->Wireless and Network->More Settings) was set to Global for some reason. I went under Network Mode and selected LTE/CDMA and the phone automatically rebooted. As soon as it was back up, it was in 4G!:highfive:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tironsteel:
My keyboard backlight trigger stopped working so i have no backlight when the keyboard is opened.

I was hoping to write a script to toggle the backlight using a spare hardware key on the keyboard (368, that silly search/browser key below the enter key).

I have written 2 scripts to turn it on and off which were really simple (and work :victory:) but a toggle script looks a lot harder.

OFF

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "0">/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness

ON

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "255">/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness

Can anyone help me with this, i suspect it would be pretty simple for someone familiar with scripts.

DId i mention i know nothing about writing scripts...

How hard could it really be (for you awesome people who know how to do everything)?

I mean, I run the same (almost) ROM on both my xmp and xp, yet on xp there's no HW-keyboard backlight when clearly on xmp it's no problem.

I know the phone is outdated now to say the least, but seeing as how there's such a dedicated group of users who prefer to have a hardware keyboard, shouldn't there be at least one programmer willing to put a few hrs in?

[HTC Desire X] Sathish.Kannan:
Hi,

I have SwiftKey keyboard installed. Every time I restart the device it resets to another language keyboard and I need to visit the settings to get it back.

Also even when I switched off the vibration, vibration never quits.

Any solution?

Many thanks in advance.
[HTC Desire X] ReSkid:
If you are rooted then uninstall/freeze all other Keyboards like Vietnamese keyboards.
[HTC Desire X] djranbhir:
I also use SwiftKey keyboard never such issue but here is what I did

Goto Settings>apps>all apps> scroll down to find Indian keyboard or HTC Indian IME and tap on it and tap on disable so only sense input is on

As for vibration go to settings click on HTC sense input and in options uncheck vibration feedback and then go to SwiftKey app setting and go into haptic feedback and disable it and it should not be an issue

You might have probably done this but still go to settings turn SwiftKey as on after that go into the app and it will get you to a default input option select SwiftKey you should be good to go (although all this is done first thing when you install the app and tap on it in the app drawer)

when I remove the phone from my ear I get a blank screen, have to hit the power button to get the screen back or it returns when the call ends
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
Yes, this can be annoying.

It depends on the duration of the call, but if it is long enough, it is as if the phone went into battery saving mode (I have stamina on)

Then for me to end the call, I have to manually turn the screen on (with power button), swipe the screenlock, then press END.

I am sure this will get addressed in future updates..well, It'd better!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rabia:
if you can't get them replaced i have found 2 ways to solve the problem, you know that the headset piece is made of 2 parts, a plastics graish part that sticks to ur ear & a rubber blackish part (the one that contains the button for getting a call or hanging it) gently pull the rubber part out completly during a conversation & the problem will be solved instantly :shock: since its not very practical way i tore (cut) the part of the button to make a small opening & that reduced the echo by 80% & still don't make me headset look stupid :lol:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
This is really strange and probably even stranger to complain about but I want to understand.

I UV on my Note and so far managed to drop to levels I find hard to believe.

200MHz - 600mV

300MHz - 600mV

400MHz - 600mV

500MHz - 600mV

600MHz - 600mV

700MHz - 600mV

800MHz - 600mV

900MHz - 600mV

1000MHz - 600mV

1100MHz - 600mV

1200MHz - 975mV

1300MHz - 975mV

1400MHz - 1000mV

1500MHz - 1050mV

1600MHz - 1100mV

Why is my note able to run at 600mV on all frequencies up to 1100MHz??? At first I thought it was a reporting error and It wasn't really running on those voltages but found breaking points on higher frequencies so eliminated that theory. :silly: :confused: Would be :cool: to be able to test these frequencies at even lower levels. Anybody know a tool that can do it?

This is the process I followed:

Set the voltage value in STweaks,

Set the max MHz in STweaks to the frequency for which I just dropped the voltage ,

Close STweaks,

Open Voltage Control to confirm that the voltage and max frequency has really been set,

Close Voltage control,

Reboot,

Open Voltage Control again to confirm that the voltage and max frequency is really set,

Close Voltage control,

Reset timings in Android Tuner Free,

Start Stability - Classic Test and verify that the Note is running at the max frequency,

Open some other apps and play around for a while,

Get Stability Test back to foreground and go to sleep (if it is time to sleep)

For all of the above frequency values i ran the Stability Test overnight for at least 4 hours plus for a couple hours while using the phone. Didnt get a single freeze or reboot. The only issue was that while I had it on max 200 MHz the Note was not usable while the 300 and 400 MHz frequencies were annoyingly slow. 500 MHz and up is bearable even with Stability Test running.

Attached are the last status and test screenshots. The Stability Test has been running while I been also using it for calling, messaging, adjusting other app setting and taking screenshots.

I check the frequency timings in Android Tuner Free and it is usually 1-4% on offline, 95-98% on the tested frequency and sometime 1% on the frequency just above the tested one. All other frequency times usually 0%

Any ideas if something funny is going on or is this Note just unbelievably under-voltable???
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweeny80:
1st thing, my STweaks is ver 1.1 but looks a bit different than your screenshots, pls confirm that.

2nd, I too like to underclock but had no idea you could push it as far as you . It's kind of like driving a car low on gas to see how far you can go.

3rd What ROM & kernel you on? I'm on X-Note 3.3 with Adam kernel.

Last, here's a screenshot of my undervolting...I'm kinda embarrassed compared to yours :) Note the differences in layout of STweak menu.

I'm inspired to go even lower now, my battery life is pretty awesome but I think I can squeeze it more.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
My STweaks is also 1.1 and guessing the menu difference might be due to different kernel. I am on RedPill, stock ROM and probably irrelevant but TWERP as well.

I have mixed feelings about the achieved UV. Very happy if it is true but suspicious that there is some kind of a reporting error and that I am actually not under-volting it at all.

I will soon update the OP since I have now been now testing the 900 MHz for the last 3 turns. Started at 900 mV then droped to 800 mV and now already running it for a couple hours at 700 mV. I just cant believe that its actually at at this voltage and running without issues.

:confused: :confused: :confused:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweeny80:
Hmm yes, because you're going so low, it begs the question is the app reading accurate? I mean, you're reeeaaaal low. Would be good for a more knowledgeable person to chip in and give us feedback.

One thing - in your screenshot it shows your max frequency capped at 800MHz. To me that reads you are running only at 50% power. If so, that explains your insane battery life. From steps 900 and above you've left voltage at stock because they're unused. right?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
Yes higher frequencies still at stock and not used but will be getting to them at their own time. Fact though is that even with cap at current 900 MHz and with Stability test running I can still use the Note normally for any regular tasks. If I don't play games I would never need more speed.

Now updating the OP with the 900 MHz setting and screenshots.

BTW I just realized I added to battery life when transferring screenshots by connecting the Note to the laptop by cable. Battery life still remains to be seen.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
Updated the OP with the full range of voltages 200-1600. I don't OC so those will not be doing. But I still have the original question.

Is it possible???
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
Gets more and more strange. GPU under-clocking and under-volting of following frequencies working for days without any usage issue. I changed the minimum and maximum MHz to include the below frequencies and didn't notice any difference in the Note behavior / performance. When running the stability test with GPU testing included I don't get any errors if running under 2 hours but if I leave it overnight the test does crash at some point in time without any other ill effect. I only know that it crashed coz it disapears and it tells me it crashed when the next day I re-start the test.

54MHz - 600mV

108MHz - 600mV

160MHz - 600mV

266MHz - 600mV

350MHz - 600mV

The fact though is I don't understand what to expect as an issue when under-clocking or under-volting the GPU.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweeny80:
Mate, you're still at it!?

Rereading your data, I strongly suggest you post these stats in whatever thread belongs to the kernel and/or tuner app you're using.

My overseas Singaporean work colleagues would say 'cannot be, cannot be.....'
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
Yea slowly trying one by one new settings and letting it run for a while so that when I go to the next setting and experience an issue I am sure its the newest setting that's causing it.
