Something that I personally found is that apps2ext doesn't always work out-of-the-box, what I did to counter that, and what I found works even better, is using something like link2sd, which allows someone to dynamically move their apps, so that launchers and other sensitive apps don't force close on boot because you accidentally removed the sd card/ sd card isn't reading properly.

Hello guys. I have a request (or please share link to me) of ROM ar any other way how to turn my phone to mp3 player only. All i want is use this phone as "ipod nano" - just play some music, no calls, no messages, no wifi, (bluetooth can work).

Any ideas?

(If you ask "why?" - i have galaxy s4 and i don't want to have unused phone :D Screen is cracked and this phone is terrible comparing with galaxy s4 :) )

[Oppo Find 5] Cioffaz:
Hi all,

maybe you can help me trying to figure out why i can't charge the find5 battery via usb cable (just to know the phone is not a new one).

Every time i connect the phone to a notebook or desktop pc to charge the battery, the charge level goes down,

quickly!

I've tried many usb cable (original Oppo, a Samsung one...no success) but the phone is correctly recognized as usb device.

I'm on latest CM 10.1 nightly, but I've tried also with latest Paranoid (always with the kernel provided with the rom).

Can anyone help me? :confused:

Thanks,

Andrea

Edit: just to add that the battery is correctly charged with the wall charger
[Oppo Find 5] theevilworm:
To answer your question, that is very strange behaviour. Have you done a full wipe before flashing the ROM? Which kernel are you using? Does it work with stock ROM?
[Oppo Find 5] Cioffaz:
Yes full wipe (plus format /system). Tried with CM10.1, with its kernel and ParanoidAndroid, with its kernel.

Gonna try with original Oppo firmware, but can't do it from office.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidian1441:
So I'm curious. What about your Note 2 keeps your interest in it?

Size, software, hardware (including S-pen), choice of ROMs, etc..

For me its size. I love the size of the phone and the display alone enough for me to love it without considering anything else. But, I will of course.

This is strictly for curiosity and conversation. That's it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ainjobizz:
I'd have to say it's also the size. I see every other phone my friends and family use and it always makes me laugh and til this day everyone always compliments it or always say something funny about its size.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eakeller:
Same sentiments here. The size kept me coming back, and now I don't even look at other phones....I used to switch every week or two.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaemonAshra:
The fact that my contract isn't up with Verizon and I don't have enough money to buy a new phone outright.

Honestly, I'm done with giant phones these days. The moto x will be my next phone when I more to t-mobile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pool_shark:
For me it's the size of the screen, the crisp display, and the performance.

I use my Note 2 more than I use my laptop.

Some friends and family members make fun of its size, but when I'm with them and they want to do something on the internet, they start on their phone then say "let me see your phone".

I don't understand how they can say they love the size of their phone then want to see mine to view the internet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
For the same reason my wife stays with me...

Seriously tho, this device has a great screen, battery life, and performance...Sure the S4 has better hardware specs, but at this point in time better hardware offers diminishing returns at best. The Note 3 will have to be a major imorovement before I consider upgrading or else I may hold off until the Note 4...thats right I said it. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] k1ska:
The size is definitely the main attraction, but I also love the S-Pen and the battery life. I switched from the S3 to the Note 2, and now whenever I try to use the S3, it feels so damn tiny in comparison.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
For me, it's because most of my friends with S3/S4's don't even know about the Note 2, so when they ask me what kind of phone I have I say the S4. Then I act really surprised when my phone is bigger than theirs and I tell them they must have gotten the mini.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
LOL that's awesome. I got mine the day it was released and people now are asking me if it's the S4. I may use your quip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
Haha they get angry too, a lot of S4 people are iPhone switchers that know nothing about Android, they really believe you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] keithd203:
ROFL....too funny!!

For me it's the screen size and the boat load of ROM choices to give me a different phone weekly, or daily if I choose.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazzykiller:
I like the size but I wish it was the size of the note. I think I like it because its got the most functionality of any phone I've ever seen.

There's nothing you can't do with this thing.

I like to keep a smart dock plugged into my entertainment center. Then setting across the room I'll control it with my ps3 controller.

calling this a phone is kinda like calling your home computer an email checker. literally these are little computers that also text and make phone calls. I have hade a few phones I've been missing with phones since the first razor cam out. I've just never seen anything this versatile before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cavertx:
Size & quality of the display is nice for my aging eyes and fat fingers.

Battery capacity...all day easily.

Ability to take an SD card for additional memory.

Android customizability (sp?)

All these make this phone more attractive to me than most of the current crop of similar size.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Monkz:
Most likely people who shouldn't have an S4 in the first place then.

I have an S4, and my mom has the Note 2, but i frequently do 1 handed typing, and on the note its just a litle bit big for 1 hand to accurately type. I know the Note has the 1 handed option, but i'm not a big fan of that layout, and the 5 inch display on the S4 is perfect for me. I also like the colours and crispness more than on the note 2, and obviously the stronger hardware. I find even when i was doing work on my moms phone, i never really found any practical uses for the S-Pen that i would even consider it useful for me. It's all just personal preference though, but i laugh that i used to think the iPhone 4 was the perfect phone back in the day.

Its a very nice device though, and its nice to have the slightly larger screen for videos and games, but for me 5 inches is the sweet spot for the ultimate balance between functionality and ease of use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
I think the S4 is definitely the best size, but first thing I look at when getting a phone is the development for it, because we passed the point where hardware can make a difference in the performance of this relatively light OS (Android compared to Windows or Mac), so really the most powerful phone is now the one with the most capable software available for it. I wish my phone was the S4 size, but I don't think I can even use a ROM that doesn't haven't floating multiwindows at this point. I run every app in a window now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Monkz:
I'm pretty sure the floating multiwindow features will eventually come to the S4, that is Multitasking to the max, but there are still some alternatives and you can get a close to similar experience on the S4. And things like Nottach etc, bring the other functionalities such as the horizontal split messenger/contacts and all the other goodies that stock S4 users miss out on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
in sure it will eventually too assuming that borrower in unlocked, there's very little development for the vzw s4 because of it unfortunately.

^^^^^^^+100000000000000 to exactly everything stated HERE ^^^^

gonna have copy you on this one.. have many friends that have finally switched from an iphone and they have S3 or S4

My wife has the S4 and it does have alot of features and extra sensors etc... that are cool

but with my note 2 i dont need a charger at work or in the car anymore. I Sometimes i have to charge it when i go to sleep or every other day depending on how heavy i use it..

S4 pockets alot nicer but I dont wear girl jeans "cough" skinny jeans so the note 2 fits perfectly..

I dont use the pen as heavily as i thought i was going to but the times i have needed it, it has save me a headache and time which saves me money ..

playing games on it watching videos is alot better and easier on the eyes

Also im not worried about if i have to many things open at the same time it will slow down the phone..

Mult window is a big HELP as well.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pool_shark:
A friend of mine with an iPhone mentioned the one handed typing as a plus.

I don't understand that. It makes me wonder what a person is doing with their other hand that they need to type with only one.

I've read so many people that said they never use their phone in landscape. I don't understand that either because for one, you'll probably type faster with two hands, and you definitely have more screen real estate in landscape.

As for the s-pen, I don't use it much, but I use it to write on pictures, and I use it to make greeting cards with s-note.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
I mean I only really use one handed typing at night after my gf falls asleep on top of one my arms lol, but it definitely comes in handy every night.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eljefewatson:
Location, Location, Location....no really: Size, Size, Size

My co-worker has one and raves about it, mostly due to the size, she no longer carries around both a phone and a tablet. My friends with a Verizon unlimited plan popped $1200 for a his and hers matched set all because of the size of the screen. If the Samsung Mega worked on Verizon I would get that.

Now I'm in the market for a new phone and of course, the Note 2 is the likely candidate even though the S4 has slightly better features and a higher res screen. The battery and screen size still trumps the S4 for me. Now all I have to do is decide if I want to drop even more money for the Note 3 which premiers around Sept 4th.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gofaster87:
I have both, the S3 and the Note 2, and I find it hard to go back to the s3 when using the large screen of the note. I have no issues carrying the Note 2 or even using it one handed most of the time. Favorite phone to date
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Monkz:
I dont really use landscape either. You have to move your fingers so much farther than if its vertical which affects the speed you can type.

Haha I've noticed this too. This happens often with people who have the s4, they always think they've got the biggest phone out, and the look on their face (mainly dissapointment and awe) is priceless. And then when I pull out the s-pen, They snap. love it. Best phone I've ever had easily.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jhokur:
Love the size of the screen/phone - having large hands, the phone feels comfortable and easy to use. Honestly, the only thing on the horizon that interests me more, is the Note 3 :)

I'm using the SUPCASE Ultra Clear Series and it is such a tight fit on the tablet you wouldn't even know it was there (ZERO room for error when aligning, but very forgiving on re-positioning too). The only thing that makes it stand out is the single cutout for the front camera. Two pack on Amazon was around 10$ with free prime 2 day shipping. Best deal I've found :)

Edit: From reading the packaging, they claim that the screen protector is a tight 0.3mm fit on the tablet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TheNeck:
for me yes it is, i love tempered glass screen protectors. i have one for my note 2 as well.

if you have used other screen protectors, like zagg/ect, and like them, it might not be worth it to you. ive never liked zagg/ect over tempered glass protectors.

luckily i got mine for $20 shipped($15+$5), so i saved $5 at least before they raised the price.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Vugari:
The i-blason is definitely worth it. You get the 1 year warranty against pretty much anything including scratches and bubbles. I already had to use it due to a spot on my protector that refuses to lay flat on my screen. I just sent them a picture of the area and they sent a replacement out straight away. Great customer service.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] player911:
I hate wet apply screen protectors. They always have a tacky feel and they are never flawless.

I'm using the Official Asus ones and they're nice but they must have some issues at the factory. I've been through 2 now and both have had dents that cause it to raise and bubble. My second one is at the bottom and small, so Im keeping it.

The Spigen is very high quality and considered the best. Amazon had these for $12 which is a steal. I never used the glass ones but I'd imagine they would be closer to a natural feel compared to plastic ones.

I prefer the Matte ones myself. The only matte one that seemed like quality is the Official Asus ones. I bought another brand of Mattes (3pack) that have 3 cutouts and reportedly horrible from Amazon for super cheap ($3 shipped) to use as backup.

I would agree with post #2. The Supcase SP looked very nice too.

Use the hinge method when installing quality protectors because the cut leaves no room for error. I use painters tape on the sides for a hinge. Rip and squeegee.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] RayLancer:
I've used Spigen Ultra Clear on my old Galaxy S2 and my family's Galaxy S4s. I use Rearth Ringbo Ultra Clear on my old Nexus 7, Nexus 4, and new Nexus 7. I don't really much of a difference (or feel) between both brands. The Rearth one gives you 3 for about $5 on Amazon. Pretty cheap, works just as great, and it doesn't leave a residue like some other cheap brands.

EDIT: Just wanted to point out, both Spigen and Rearth SP has a hardness of 3H. Getting scratches on both will be pretty normal due to the hardness of the material. Unavoidable, but better that than your actual glass (which I think has a hardness of 8H).

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
"Calibraing" your battery is not going to make it last any longer. If anything, it shortens battery life and serviceable lifespan.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Not quite. Remember that each and every time you do that, it unduely stresses the cells resulting in oxidation. Each and every time you do that, you shorten both the battery's operating time as well as its serviceable lifespan.

"Calibrating" the battery will not change how long the battery lasts.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninjus:
I just came across it from the apple battery care html wherein it is stated "For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).". So I got curious about it cause at first I also knew that draining the battery would have negative effect on it. BTW thanks for the replying bro.
