I prolly dont understand the problem fully, because I think it has a simple answer. On your PPC dont sync the mail from outlook through activesync but set up a new (p-outlook) pop3 account with the parameters from the pop3 outlook account (minus the smtp-server offcourse, this should be the smtp of your phone operator). I have this setup and can send/recieve mail on my MDA Pro. When I get home I recieve all mail from that day on my pc, storing it on my pc. At the next send/recieve on my MDA Pro, all the mail collected by the pc will dissapear (on the MDA Pro) and new mail will arrive. If you want you can sync the outlook mail with your PPC but it will function as a old-mail-database next to your p-outlook pop3 account.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jmcl:
what I did was:

1. I Created a new mail account - POP3 - and configured it to be read just in O2 exec.

2. I configured my mail account to forward all mail to the mail account I created for the PDA, and also keep messages in my mail account, so I can read them in my PC as well.

3. I dont SYNC mails, just check them by using WIFI/GPRS/3G.

This is not very "polite" but works for me. anohter solution, IMAP, another, REAL MAIL from Vodafone.

Hello, I've been using Polaris office for more than a year on both my note 2 and note 10.1. It has crashed on me many times and lost a lot of work coz of that. Is there any other app which is capable of drawing on ppt? Really appreciate thanks!*

As a student I do a lot of annotations. For pdf I use ezpdf works really well except some unintuitive features. For word doc I use Polaris.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Bun110:
Try kingsoft, or officesuite
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jasonchewy91:
Thanks, but I've both, they claim to allow free hand drawing but I am unable to find the function. Kingsoft version 5.8 and officesuite 7.3.1510. Am I missing something?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kalashenicof:
I dont know but you can try google's Quickoffice
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jasonchewy91:
I've tried that but it doesn't have annotation features, it's functions are even less than other free apps :/
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jedoy:
I think Polaris is the only one that actually allows good annotation on ppt although the eraser kind of sucks.

I've found that any ppt with the file ".pptx" will cause EXTREMELY LONG SAVING and sometimes, just crash with the reason of not enough memory or something.

So what I've been doing for class is downloading the pptx to my computer and converting it to Word document 2003-07 so it would have a ".ppt" file. Any amount of handwriting I do to the .ppt file gets save very quick and stays. The ppt I use usually have 80+ slides.

Is this how you've been doing it with polaris? I also have quickoffice and officesuite in my tablet just for multiple viewing of ppts but none really allows me to annotate other than polaris.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jasonchewy91:
Yes exactly my sentiments. I faced the problem of taking very long to save and sometimes crashing, but did not notice if it was pptx. Thanks for the advice I'll give it a try! The eraser really sucks lol. I tried the Polaris version 5.0 but doesn't work well with note 10.1. Guess I have to stick to Polaris then.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tmagritte:
Microsoft does have an office for android app. I'm not sure what if any features it has for powerpoint or if it's any better than any other app just because it's from Microsoft, but it might be worth checking out if you haven't already. I believe you need to have a qualifying subscription to office 365 to use it though. I think you can setup a trial subscription if you don't have one. Since you are a student I believe you can get a 4 your subscription for $80 that will give you the full office suite on up to 5 computers plus mobile devices so definitely an option if you find that the app is useful.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jasonchewy91:
I've tried it, Ms office for android would never be any good because it would be against their interest by provide true productivity on android instead of Windows tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Hunter_Dreams:
And do you need to keep the ppt format? If not you could print it in pdf format and manipulate it with SNote, ezPdf or RepliGo, for example.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] almacncheese:
So I bought a 16 GB SD card and I formatted it on my s4 now it's only 14.7 GB
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Shrihari007:
Have you ever experienced that moment where you insert

your 16GB memory card into the camera only to discover

that this new, freshly formatted card is a nickel short of

15GB? Or a 32GB card turning to 29.8GB once installed?

Have you ever wondered where those GigaBytes are hiding?

The truth is that they are not hiding at all.

It has to do more with the way card companies (and hard

drive companies too) decide to annotate their products.

In English Kilo means one thousand (1000 1 = 1,000), a

Mega is a million (1,000 2 = 1,000,000) , a Giga is a billion

(1,000 3 = 1,000,000,000) and so on (Tera, Peta, Exa, Zetta &

Toyya). This system is called the SI units system .

In Computerish, however, the numbers are a bit different: A

Kilo means 1,024 1 = 1,024, a Mega is 1,024 2 = 1,048,576, a

Giga is 1024 3 = 1,073,741,824 and so on. This is called the

Binary units system.

So there is a difference in what Kilo, Mega and Giga means

and that difference is getting bigger the "stronger" the prefix

is.

For Kilo, the difference is only 2.3%, for Mega it is 4.6% and

for Giga it is 6.8% - see a pattern here?

Back to the memory cards.

Memory cards manufactures choose to use the SI system to

denote cards sizes. Our computers and card readers use

the binary system for size calculation and here is where the

missing Bytes are.

Of course, the card companies are covered, they do mention

this fact on their sites (in a small asterisk, or with hover text

that is revealed when you hover over a small asterisk). Here

are screen shots from three leading cards and hard drive

manufacturers, though they are not the only one to use that

practice:

Sandisk:

Lexar:

Seagate:

If you followed the math, you probably realized that the toll

this calculation method in taking gets bigger the bigger the

data units are. So while the toll on a 1GB memory card in

way smaller than on a 1 tera hard drive. Have a look at this

table to sum things up:

Size SI

units size

Binary

Size

Delta

(%)

Delta

(GB)

512 Mega 536870912 512000000 4.6 0.02

4 Giga 4294967296 4000000000 6.9 0.27

16 Giga 17179869184 16000000000 6.9 1.10

64 Giga 68719476736 64000000000 6.9 4.40

1 Tera 1,099,511,627,776 1,000,000,000,000 9.1 92.68

4 Tera 4,398,046,511,104 4,000,000,000,000 9.1 370.71

1 Peta 1,125,899,906,842,620 1,000,000,000,000,000 11.2 117253.43

Now What?

Now, I think it would be fair if we politely asked memory

card makes and hard drive makers to switch to binary so

they will be better aligned with the way we use them.

Hey everyone,

So after struggling around a day or so, i finally unlocked the BL, rooted and flashed recovery by artas (thank u ^_^ for this awesome tool).

So i would like to know what are the do's and don'ts when flashing custom roms.

My usual procedure is.

1.Wipe data and cache

2.Flash new rom

3. Wipe data and cache.

4. Reboot phone and wait.

If there are additional steps or uneccessary steps. Do point out :P

Thanks :)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] matthewstice:
U should flash cwmtouch.IMG and not use artas cwm after u unlock bootloader..artas cwm doesn't seem to work with some ROMs I've found..

I do it this way

Wipe dalvik cache.. Cache

Format system

Wipe data factory reset

Flash ROM zip.. Flash Google apps..

Reboot
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kirakun:
Could you link me to the cwm u mention?

Also I've been stuck on PA 4.3 and cannot access my sd card via usb, drivers always fail installation :(

Ill revert back to stock probably and then re-start everything...
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] thasilenthacker:
if you flash kdz to stock make sure to use a rom that acknowledges the bootloader is unlocked or the adb reboot oem-unlock wont work.

i had that problem and just went back to v20b on my p769 then flashed recovery and rom and everything worked fine
[HTC One X] Jess95:
Hey XDA Community!

Recently put up a thread about the shoddy quality of the OneX in some places, basically the issue was that the battery was deteriorating, both cameras stopped working too, this phone has been kept in a case always too.

So i finally got my head around how they've situated the camera module, so i replaced it with a new one i bought from ebay.

After putting the phone back together i'm unable to get any signs of life from it, power button does nothing, plugging in microusb does nothing.

The phone is off, it wont power on.

Although you'd probably think i might have unhooked the battery my accident, this isnt the case. The connector from the battery is secured to the connector on the motherboard firmly, i even popped it off, put it back in and tried again to still get same results.

The only thing that's changed since i pulled the phone apart was the rear camera module swapped out for a new one, and that shiny sticker stuff that was on the battery was peeled off. Not sure what the issue is here, so open for suggestions!

Cheers guys

Hey all. New Vzw G2 here. I have clean rom on this right now and just loaded up aicp as well and neither rom has working led notifications. The led works it charges red, blinks green on boot up, and flashes white on waking up the screen with double tap.

I have tried multiple notification programs from the play store and tried to test out the led but nothing is working...

Am I just missing something obvious here??

Any help would be appreciated.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjaminj007:
I know that this sounds like a no-brainer, but we sometimes forget to check the simple things. Check your settings under display and make sure you have the notification switch "on" and then download and try light manager from the play store.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayer3032:
The only thing I could figure out to get LED notifications to work was to use a 4.3 based rom which has the proper API's for notification apps. IMO I traded the IR functionality for one which lets me setup my phone to actually have notifications. No idea what the AICP rom is since I have a D801 and the VSW G2 is all different for whatever silly reason but Light Flow works great on PA.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desantim:
Thanks all still no such luck. So weird. Enabled and disabled the notification in display tried light manager and light flow still no go. For real I don't get it. I know the light works but only for system notifications like charging battery low knock on etc. SO weird. Grr
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjaminj007:
Can you test a different rom?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desantim:
I've tried aicp and clean and I'll try another here soon. 4.2.2 hasn't worked and an AOSP 4.3.1 hasn't worked I can't figure it out.

Could my issues be anything to do with still being on the most recent stock firmware baseband? I have a rule now to never accept OTA updates after my S4 screwed me over. I thought I read there was an OTA for Verizon at some point....
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjaminj007:
Have you tried backing up your data and trying the stock rom? I've also noticed that some things don't function properly on some custom roms, especially if it's not stock. I know you said you've tried other roms, but at this point, it just has to be checked through trial and error.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayer3032:
Make sure Pulse Notification Light is enabled, Use custom values is disabled and Battery Light is disabled. I have Root Mode and Reset color before change enabled on Light Flow and anything else significant disabled.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adzam3:
For the stock rom, Google backup was screwing up with the led notification. I had that problem.

I disabled Google backup and wiped the phone.

During initial boot when it says to back up with Google I deselected it and the led notification worked.

Not sure for custom rom.

Good luck
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desantim:
Hmm! Well, I am going to try this. I have plenty of TWRP backups, I'll run a fresh install and see if not using google restore fixes the issue. If it doesn't, I'm STUMPED!

I sure hope it works, this is the ONLY issue I have, I LOVE this phone otherwise, but this is a pretty big issue, I never know when I have messages waiting!

Mario
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desantim:
HOLY CRAP - If I could THANK you a million times I would. Deselecting restore from google WORKED. Booted CleanROM up as a fresh install and tried out the lite version of LightFlow, and BAM, LEDs worked. Must have brought some setting over from all my Samsung devices I owned previous. Never had an issue going from the S3 to Note2 to S4, but going to an LG, must have had issues.

THANK YOU !!!!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adzam3:
Glad that it worked.

Read it somewhere that the backup was the culprit. So the credit goes to the first person that discovered it.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desantim:
Seriously! I was about to try to return my phone, that would have been a hassle and a half. I LOVE my G2, Best phone I've had, I wish there were more cases for it for the Verizon version, I'm a minimalist guy and there is like one case on ebay that fits that bill. Oh I digress!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klotar:
I switched from GS3 to G2 and let Google restore my settings and apps. My Light Flow (and Light Manager and every other LED app under the sun) just would not work. I just couldn't figure it out... it worked just fine on the GS3.

Finally, after disabling the auto restore of settings and apps, I did a factory restore; and now Light Flow works. Well, my email insists on green rather than the colour I set for it, and I can't seem to get the calendar notification LED working but everything else LED related now seems to work (mostly all 3rd party IM apps) including charging, charged, sms, etc.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RomeoNate:
Hey everyone,

I am using the DROID RAZR M Utility 1.20, as posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2249773

I also followed the youtube video of it, as posted here:

http://youtu.be/ej7HBxvNPv0 (The video is actually for the Razr HD but the process is basically the same.)

Here is what I did.

Powered up phone in AP Fast Boot, and did step 1.) Flash 4.1.2 Stock System.

Then rebooted phone into Normal Mode (USB Debugger is on) and ran option 5.) Motochopper Root Exploit.

It rooted successfully.

Ten i ran Step 6.) Unlock Bootloader (Motopocalypse), ran the App, and it says it was successful.

Then I Ran step 4. ) Flash CWM Custom Recovery.

after this i rebooted the phone and went into the Recovery mode, but the only thing im getting is the little android on his back with the alert sign:

I am not sure what to do next? I am trying to load the Cyanogenmod onto this Droid Razr M, but safestrap evidently is not going to do it for me.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RomeoNate:
quick update..

Appears that Step6 is not working.

After rebooting into AP Fastboot, it says the Device is Locked.

Anyother tools out there to unlock the bootloader?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Motopocalypse is the only tool to unlock the BL. You can find it stand-alone if you do a quick Google search. However, if you were on the latest update, you won't be able to unlock your BL, even if you revert back to the older version. You can root with Motochopper 1.3, though.

Also, that screen is the stock recovery screen. When you're in that screen, hold vol down and tap vol up to get into recovery. If in fact you can unlock your bootloader and you succeed and you flash CWM recovery, you'll need to reboot immediately into recovery so the CWM updater script can finish its install. Otherwise, the stock recovery will override.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RomeoNate:
So if the phone has ever been updated OTA to the latest version, unlocking the bootloader is a lost cause?

That really sticks because i think this phone was updated.

I have verified the phone is rooted - otherwise safestrap wouldn't work.

So phone is rooted - what your saying is, using that tool - run the CWM Script, then reboot the phone and go directly to the recovery screen, then hold the Volume Down button, then press the Volume Up button..?

I will give this a try.

Thanks!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Yeah, unfortunately, if it was ever updated, you can't unlock the BL. Even reverting back still won't open the "trusted zone." You can verify if Motopocalypse worked by booting back into the Fastboot screen. It should say the phone's unlocked. If you can get it unlocked, then yeah, immediately power off phone after flashing recovery and then reboot straight into recovery. If script ran as it should, you should boot straight into CWM.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RomeoNate:
Well i think im at a dead-end. :-/

Fastboot keeps saying Device is LOCKED. I cannot get it to unlock... Argh!

Any other way ? Is it possible to revert or modify the "trusted zone"?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Nope, no way to unlock and the man Dan said there's probably no chance to unlock.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Hi,

My brother has a Galaxy Note 3 (the LTE version. N9005) which has been brilliant up until just now, where it can't charge nor connect to a PC.

He's tried using both the microUSB 3.0 cable that came with it - both connecting to a computer and to charge - as well as a microUSB 2.0 cable to charge... Neither has worked.

He's on stock, no rooting whatsoever (not that kind of person).

Is this a hardware problem or is there anything that could solve this before we send it off to warranty?

Any answers are greatly appreciated...

UPDATE: Its suddenly charging again... But we'll see what happens... In the meantime, can anyone offer an explanation?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arul:
I have the same problem with the phone not being recognised by the computer or charger. Strange thing is that the computer recognises the phone in download mode via odin (an kies for a while). And it has been charging while in download mode connected to kies or odin.

I initially thought it was a bad third party rom i had downloaded and tried to change to another rom. It was back to charging for a bit and then after a day stopped again. Tried to reset to factory rom and bricked the phone in the process (as stupidly checked reactivation lock and clicked a wrong button when titanium backup asked if I wanted to restore the previous id - spent 2 days to unbrick it.....

But now I'm back to the phone not being able to charge or being recognised by the computer. Even the OTG cable isn't recognised. HELP pleaseeee someone. First issue with a Galaxy since the S3/S4/Note1/Note2.

Any thoughts as to what the issue could be? Someone mentioned that it could be a setting in phoneutils menu (if USB set to modem it wont recognise - has to be set to PDA). But the *#7284# command doesnt seem to work on the Note 3. Does anyone know how to invoke the phone utility menu?

I might have to take it back to Samsung - only that I have rooted it and knox shows it!!

Update :

I sent the device into the service centre this morning and explained the problem. The guy at the counter didn't bat an eye while telling me its likely a usb port problem and that he would try to check it and get it turned around within a day. When I asked him if others had similar problems, his response seemed to indicate that it wasn't an uncommon problem. They even had plenty of spares for the port.

I got a text within 2 hours telling me that the unit was fixed. They didn't give me any hassle about the unit being rooted but I guess with a hardware issue, it shouldn't have mattered anyway.

So far so good with the unit. Just thought I'd update you guys.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Sorry to revive an old thread, but is it just a hardware problem then?
