[G2 General] Ajoli:
Hey guys. Just thought I'd give you a headsup here.

I've had a bunch of phones (listed in my signature), but I have never encountered this before.

The other day as I was gaming I kept bumping my hand into my phone over and over. This has never happened before, despite that I normally put it on the far corner of the mouse surface to have it readily accessible. I didn't think any of it first and just moved it up, thinking that maybe I accidentally moved the surface or such, causing the phone to move.

Then in some downtime in the gaming I looked down and realized the phone was moving. My god! There was practically zero friction! My phone was just gently gliding around the mouse surface, lolygaging about. I had a little fun with it, poking the phone to make it slide a different direction and making my cat freak out with it.

I then put it to the side on the table, thinking that my hardshell mouse surface was probably so low friction that it made the phone slide around. But the same thing happened on my wooden desk. It kept sliding around. Then I turned it over with the display upwards, and it was fine.

This morning same thing happened, and it actuall slid off the edge of my kitchen counter (marble) and into the floor! The phone is fine, by some kind of miracle, but I was surprised it managed to pick up enough speed to not get stuck on the edge of the counter. I tried pouring some water on the counter to see if it was leaning, but nope. Flat on both according to the water and a spirit level.

My only conclusion is that the phone is so flat all around, including bezels, that it creates a small air bubble underneith it, which it then slides on. The feeling is that of an air cushion as well.

I realize most people probably dont put it display down, but if you do, be aware of this. My phone almost jumped to its death by it, surviving only by a guardian angel. I thought about it and decided it was a big enough risk to give people the headsup.

Stay safe G2'rs! :)
[G2 General] Heatshiver:
Good to know. Where I am, they only sell cases for QuickWindow (last I checked). I bought one, but it is taking a while to get used to holding the phone when talking since I can't wrap my fingers around the phone.

I was considering taking it off, but that notion is no longer in my head thanks to your post. BTW, you should post some vid on messing with the cat!
[G2 General] Ajoli:
Hah, I just might. She's like.. "Oh, looks like fun", pokes it a bit, notices how it doesn't act as expected and is all like "BLAARGH" smashing it around and trying to kill it. xD
[G2 General] chronicfathead:
The screen is very silky, compared to my S3, Atrix, Kindle and my friends HTC 8S.
[G2 General] Semantics:
So what you're saying is glass is slippery? In other news the sun will set in the west tonight. Just kidding, but I wouldn't ever put my phone face down without some type of case to keep the glass from contacting anything bad. The Nexus 4 was extremely slippery, the way LG is making curved edges on the screens doesn't help in that regard.
[G2 General] Ajoli:
Well, I've learnt to put mine screen down to protect it from things falling on it. The nature of my job means things may well fall on it. I use a screen protector film anyways.

And yes, glass can be slippery but doesn't have to be. None of my other phones have had this kind of behavior, probably due to them having a slight lift from the frame, keeping the glass off the actual surface.

Regardless, for some its a non-issue, but for those that it might affect, I thought I'd share.

[G2 General] edl415:
This is a good point. I usually flip my phone screen down at night so the notifications LED isn't lighting up the room. Needless to say, my dog wasn't very amused when the phone slid off the nightstand and woke her up.
[G2 General] Ajoli:
I lol'd at your post as well as your signature.

So I'm not alone! Lets hope someone saves a screen at least.
[G2 General] bachera:
thanks for the headsup, on low friction surfaces things slide.

You check if you need to level your furniture so gravity doesnt make things slide

a case would help as well :)
[G2 General] 19Interpol:
Pretty common occurence also on the shiny plastic Samsung devices :D Even iPhones suffer from it.
[G2 General] Semantics:
Again, it's most likely due to the curved glass edge of the LG screen. I prefer the curved glass, and my best suggestion to those that need to put their phone face down due to work hazards should probably put a case on the phone. If heavy things have a chance of falling on it, it's probably a good idea the phone is either in a case or in your pocket. Just friendly advice so please don't take it as otherwise.
[G2 General] friguy3:
I had the GNex before so wasnt an issue...but day 1 with the phone. Put it face down on the counter top like I had always done before and got in the shower. My wife comes in and all the sudden.....BAM! My phone hits the ground. (thankfully on the mat!) She said she saw it kinda "gliding" towards the edge. Low and behold, this thing almost floats face down on any slick surface. I almost never put it face down anymore...lesson learned.

That is the one thing I would like. I currently have NOVA launcher. I like it because you can theme the icons and such but now I have the black status bar and black navi bar as well. In the stock launcher there is an option to make them both transparent. What am I missing?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeyjdogg:
I'm wondering the same thing. I've gone back to LG's launcher for this reason. Hopefully the ROM gods will add this as an option to add on.

I was going to come post the same thing. I just applied auto-hide soft keys and was wondering if this was an option. Using Nova and I pinch to bring the status bar and knock on to sleep on the status bar as well.

Love this phone by the way - obligatory
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] keithjohns78:
I bought my girlfriend at GS 4. Ever since she got it she's having trouble connecting to the internet, whether it's 3G 4G or WiFi. it doesn't matter if she's home, in the house, or wherever. the phone is brand new, and it's already been factory reset by sprint. I had her take it to Best Buy yesterday and Samsung store, and they ran a fail tests on it she said it was good. Also since the moment she walked into Best Buy, immediately she had full bars of everything and her hone worked perfectly so they couldn't duplicate the problem. The phone is ahout 3 weeks old so no one will let me return or exchange it, which IMO is complete BS. She cant update her profile or download anything, and when she does it displays error codes. She had a data error "6602" when updating profile, and an entirlely full notification screen of errors from google play. Anyway I'm out of state so I can't help her, is there a way to get anybody to exchange this phone for her? Its ridiculous already.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] oscarthegrouch:
Try going into settings then mobile networks then more networks then network mode then cdma. The phone will reboot. After it has rebooted and the 3g network icon has stabilized, go into settings, then more tab then system update. Then select uodate prl. Make sure it updates. Then select update profile. Wait until it says update successful. Now go back into the network settings like before and select lte/cdma. Let it reboot. After reboot, gold power button down and turn off phone. Once blue light has shut off and the vibrate had happened, take the battery door off. Remove battery. Hold down power button and count sixty seconds. After that, let go of button and put battery back in. Power up phone. Give it a minute to connect to network after booting up. If after a couple of minutes the network hasn't connected and stabilized, then there might be something wrong with the phone or tower network. If after trying this a couple of times, if it didn't correct the problem, then I'd go see a sprint service center. I've done this recently and it fixed my data problems. If it doesn't, in your case, then take it to the repair center.

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carakas:
Hello,

I'm kinda new here but I have some problems with my nexus 4

I used MultiRom to install Ubuntu Touch on my nexus so I wouldn't loose my android (still need some things from there but I'm realy looking forward to make Ubuntu Touch my main OS) but I can't connect to my cellular network. I've read that I needed to remove my pincode from my simcard, so I did that but that didn't change a thing.

Can anybody give me some insights on how I could get it to work ?

You don't have to do this but if I were you just back up all of your data to your computer incase you run into problems.

Also nandroid and back up to pc. Titanium backup, and wipe like normal then flash your new Rom.

Where people ruin into problems is going back from 4.3 because the data pin the phone gets moved to sdcard/0

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
I have a small theory as to when the next ROM updates are going to ship.

Well since the Universal is running the WM 2005 and the SP2 for Exchange already shipped, all we are missing for the push feature is the MSFP (Messaging & Security Feature Pack). SO the OEMs are dying to win corporate users to use the universal or magician, since also the fact that Blackberry might have to stop selling in the US...

Taking all that into account I would expect that iMATE & O2 are going to wait with the release to incorporate the MSFP into the ROM. T-Mobile might also this time join since they are dying to get as much bussiness customers as possible. Here in holland the MDA PRO was available to Businesss customers 2 and a half weeks before they started selling it to consumers. I can verify that because I work as an ICT manager and I was contacted by T-Mobile rep who wanted to come and deliver me the MDA PRO the next day if I agree to take a subscription. I have refused that since we use KPN and UMTS and t-mobile has no UMTS yet. But knowing t-mobile maybe they still are going to let the chance go.

Also this is the reason the QTEK has not released their device at least here in the NL you can not get it yet it is expected in the end of November. the Qtek 9100 (magician) is already in the shops but that device is meant for consumer market. the QTEK 9000 is the business device and I think (maybe I am wrong) it will ship already with the MSFP in it. As I remember reading Microsoft should release the MSFP in the first half of November...

PLease feel free to comment critisize etc. But keep in mind this is just a theory...I might have some facts wrong!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
Oh Yea I forgot Orange which is also not yet released at least here in the NL
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
My theory has just received a blow...

I have just seen two online stores in NL claiming to have the QTEK 9000 in stock. Although on the www.qtek.nl the device is only mentioned that it exist and further no aditional info. And this coming from the site which was the first one to post the 3D anymation of the QTEK 9100.

I have to look into this first thing monday, if they realy have them in stock.

P.S. For those interrested the two stores are:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Carnivor:
I believe that all operators are waiting for MS to supply the update before they can mess it up a little then distribute it.

And it could also be that MS are holding off the release until the security pack and activesync issues are resolved.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
Yea the Operators are real stupid, I mean there is ready device software why stick your own crap in there.

About the MSFP: On the dutch Pocket PC site www.pocketinfo.nl there is an offer to buy the KJAM plus a year sunscription including the push functionality. In small letters they write that for the real push functionality you have to wait for the MSFP to be released untill then the users are more then welcome to sync on schedule.

Anyhow I hope the MSFP is real close since this offer has just appeared now so I guess they know more then we do.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] decebal:
actually i'm thinking that the new ROMs are o their way because MS has done their homework (you cannot release only half of the package) so it's up to the HTC to finish the ROM then up to the carriers to provide it to us.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] fergusstrachan:
I'm afraid MS HAS done half the job, again.

MSFP is RTM as of the 4th Nov, according to my contact.

Question is, how long will it take the likes of Orange to incorporate it? Blummin long time I reckon.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
Is there anyone with an MSDN license ?? I beleive you could get it there
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] fergusstrachan:
Nope, it's not on MSDN Sub Downloads.

It's got to be integrated with the providers' software (ROMs) so they only supply it to the providers. With the exception of those who were on the Windows Mobile Beta program, but if you stuck a copy of (I thinkk it's called Crossbow, the next version) on your machine most features wouldn't work I suspect!

We're at the mercy of buttholes like Orange.

F.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
Well that sounds really disturbing. what if I want to deploy the feature enterprise wide. I mean I am myself an ICT Manager but our company is too small to pull a muscle but large multinationals are then also at the mercy of the operators or shall I say buttholes?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] fergusstrachan:
Aye, it seems that way.

Problem is, I can't get any decent info from MS about it, and Orange say that there's nobody to ask there - even the data guys, who apparently "have access to almost every system in the company", are not told about ROM updates until they're on the website!

We'll have to wait and see. As I say, I believe the MSFP went RTM last week so it might not be tooo long...

For the record, I'm an Exchange consultant and so have a vested interest in this damn push-email thing.

F.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] decebal:
Bad news guys ... i hope that i'm wrong.

From the Microsoft Launch of VS2005 today in Milano seems that the new features will be available only from 2006 , meaning that we can only hope for ROM updates without the security and exchange improvements.ùù

As an additional info ... the italian Jasjar is real, brought by TIM. It has the italian ROM version.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ufxda:
I had the official Samsung Jelly Bean 4.1.2 installed on my Galaxy SII I9100 (UNROOTED). Flashed CWM using Odin so I could install Cyanogenmod 10.1.3. Now after CWM install there's a yellow triangle on the boot screen. Can go into the Download Mode and CWM Recovery. But I searched and came to know that the yellow triangle doesn't effect the functionality of the device. I just want to know what causes the yellow triangle? Do I need to worry about it or just go on installing the Cyanogenmod? I mean, if it's not a bad news I can just leave it there. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Unless you need to send your phone in for warranty service, you don't need to worry about the yellow triangle; it doesn't affect the functionality of the phone in any way. Though you can remove it with Triangle Away (search for the thread on here devoted to it) if it really bothers you.

Basically it means you've flashed an insecure (rooted) kernel, and if you left it there & sent the phone in for warranty service, it would show Samsung's service centre that you had been 'messing' with your phone, and they'd be within their rights to deny you warranty service.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ufxda:
Does that mean I am rooted? 'cause I didn't root. I guess the triangle is friendly then, would just leave it there. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheReverend210:
To follow on from the previous post, it doesn't necessarily mean you're rooted, just flashed something not digitally signed by Samsung; in your case CWM. If you go into download mode, it will say not Samsung official, as well as the number of times you have flashed insecure firmware. If you use CWM to flash a rooted kernel or firmware, then you're rooted. But as stated, it doesn't affect functionality. Before TriangleAway, it was almost a badge of honour.
[HTC One V] Rathke:
I bought my HTC one V used overseas, right from the start the Vol+ key wasn't working, but that didn't concern me too much.

The real problem now is with the power key: it works perfectly; resets, locks, unlocks, powers the phone... but doesn't work in bootloader. Couldn't boot into bootloader holding Pwr + Vol- key, and after using a script to boot automatically, the key wouldn't work anywhere: can't click on any option (I can navigate just fine using the Vol- key), and can't even reset the phone to get it back to normal (i have to wait for a while till it resets by itself)

Any idea what the problem might be, and how to fix it? (sending it to HTC is not an option for now sadly)

Alternatively, any suggestions on how to root/unlock/install a custom rom without ever having to press the Pwr key are welcome :P
