Hi,

Is there an app that allows me to share a pic with instagram and facebook at the same time? Maybe even twitpic? IFTTT only works if I take the picture using instagram, which I hate, I just want to use the camera app and then post it wherever I want.

Any help will be appreciated!

When u share a photo on instagram you can select the facebook icon and then press upload then the picture will be shared on both

I'm assuming you're referring to the kernel source that dropped last night. If they'd the case, there is no flashing that until someone builds a kernel from the source.

I really just started working with eclipse. When you create a new android application you can choose different navigation types. I need to use the drop down menu. Basic question: How do you make a Button appear in Section 2, but not in Section 1 or Section 3?

I put a button in and it stays visible in all the sections, i don't know how to make it disappear and reappear based on the section.

I'm probably missing something obvious but on my XDA Mini S I don't appear to be able to press the "start" button on the today screen via a hard button (used to be centre button on my old XDAIIs) without having to get the stylus out.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
I'm sure we're both missing something, 'cus I concur.

However, if you find yourself desperate you can install my program VJKeypress (on my website) and use the command line 91 to pop the start menu. Make a shortcut and assign it to a hardware key.

If God wanted me to pull the stylus out everytime, he wouldn't have given me fingers! also anything to hand (as long as gentle) ie a real pen (nib withdrawn or the ink might mark the screen), screwdriver, key etc.

Also screen protector so you dont damage anything :)

After installation you can use left software key to Start

Why do you want to do this easy thing in such a complex way? Just open Settings, click Buttons and assign <Start Menu> to any of your hardware buttons. I have configured Button 1 to open start menu (it's messaging bu default) and Button 2 for <OK/Close> (that button is IE by default).

thats what i did except have button 4 to ok/close and button 4 hold to start

Yup, me too.

By far the simplest solution.

I did try installing VITO ButtonMapper so I could have multiple apps mapped to the buttons but it has screwed up my 'soft buttons'.

DON'T USE IT, or Battery Pack Pro for that matter as it screwed up the whole PDA.

I used to set the Comm button to act as the start button. Don't do that anymore these days because i needed the quick button to the Comm manager. Thank god for fingers ;)

I still bind the memo/speech button on the right to the OK/Close button at the top right button. Found it easier to use when typing the the keyboard or in normal mode.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wilesd:
All well least it wasn't me being dim! thanks for all the suggestions but just don't have a spare button to remap.

You'd think that they would have bound the Today screen "Start" function to a press of the directional button as it doesn't do anything else when on the today screen(as it was on the Blue Angel), but maybe that's just too logical!

Never had this problem. I guess your magnet is a bit stronger than it should be. Have you tried magnetic shielding in the back of your case? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding

It will do the trick, unfortunately it isn't that easy. The magnet by the way is located on the left edge of the screen, at the height of the top of the hinge.

Good luck!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumster:
My N4 keeps switching from AC to USB charging after a few seconds of putting it on charge. I am using a wall charger that came with the Nexus 4 everything is original and ROM is stock KitKat (KRT16S).

I am not sure if upgrading to KitKat started this problem or its just a coincidence but I started noticing this only after I upgraded. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is this related to hardware? Following are the things I tried:

I tried using another N4 charger (I have two Nexus 4 devices at home) but I get the same issue.

I tried using it on different power sources, one was a power strip and one was a standalone wall socket

I tried flashing the Franco Kernel

I tried charging at office and at home, but the same issue is happening in both places

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Bob of QF:
I just purchased a new Galaxy Tab 3, 7 inch to replace my aging Dell Streak 7 as a media server in my van. I like the Galaxy (I have the phone), and it was a natural fit.

Unfortunately, charging in the vehicle was problematic. I already had a nice Scosche 12v to USB charger which has 2.1 amp capacity. But the Galaxy wasn't having any.

Then I discovered that Samsung used a cheat: they shorted the data (Vcc+ and Vcc-) wires in their house-brand chargers (instead of the usual assortment of resistors).

So, a modification of an el-cheapo microUSB cable (at the larger, USB end-- this brand has snap-on covers) and I have me a dedicated charge-only cable for use with the Scosche (or any other generic, 2+ amp USB charging port). I could have put in a switch, but it was too much bother-- easy enough to disconnect the two data+ and data- cables-- in the standard USB plug (the larger end) these are the two in the middle, with the power being the outer pair. Then I twisted these together, a wee bit of solder, and carefully push this to one side, and snap the cover back into place. A quick test with a generic USB charger-- it works.

I got the cable via Amazon, it's of chinese make, and has a little reel in the center to shorten or lengthen the whole, for about $1.50. It's black, and has no maker's marks of any kind.

If you do go this way, the larger end is much easier to work on, than that tiny microUSB plug end. If your cable has a molded cover, you could remove it carefully with a box cutter or similar. Then use epoxy or hot-melt glue to replace the over-mold you removed, once you connect the two data wires. I would either solder them, or cover with a bit of tape (before gluing), as the glue could seep between them, ruining your connection.

Or you could slit the cable lengthwise, and join the white & green wires, leaving the ones going to the large end unconnected. Not as neat, but it'd certainly work.

If you decide to put in a switch? You'll need a double-pole, double-throw switch. Most of these have 6 terminals: like this: = = = with the center pair common to either end pairs, depending on which way the switch is thrown. Solder the white wire to one of the center pair, and the green to the other-- from the small (microUSB) end. Now connect the white from the large USB to one of the other pair, to the matching white one, and the green on the same side. On the opposite side, simply connect the pair of terminals with a short jumper. Now, when you flip the switch one way, it'll short the pair going to the microUSB plug, leaving the ones coming from the large USB plug unconnected. Flip the switch, and you'll restore as they were before. Epoxy or hot-melt glue to neaten everything up.

But that was too much work for me, a $1.50 cable dedicated to charging was fine for me-- I leave the OEM cable for when I need to transfer files from my PC.

I'm running stock Android 4.1.2 on an international version GT-P6800 (purchased in Thailand).

I've been subscribed to a magazine for months now. But with today's replacement (Play Magazines => Play Newsstand), the Google Play Newsstand app crashes immediately on launch. Same story for the updated version of Google Now (released over the past week).

Due to increased sluggishness of my tablet, I decided to backup data and do a factory reset. So all these problems are occurring on a "fresh" OS install. (So no significant app caches, etc.)

Newsstand and Google Now/Search are both working fine on my ASUS tablet, so these problems are definitely specific to this hardware/OS version.

Is anyone else having either or both problems? Ideas?

P.S. This is really making me more inclined to finally root my tablet and install the most stable custom ROM available.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goattee:
The power to solve the problem is available. But you'd rather complain.

The problem is almost certainly Samsung 's work in modifying Android for our tablet model. There are no widespread complaints for other Android devices. And as I said when you started this thread: once I rooted the tablet and flashed Cyanogenmod, the problem became a far-off memory. That's the beauty of the Android community. My tablet can do more things now. And I don't have to think about whether Samsung cares about me.

What did I learn?That if I wanted a 7"tablet today, I would get the Nexus 7. I got a Nexus 4 phone when Google dropped the price. I rooted it in 15 minutes. And Kit Kat is available for it already.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
How can you recommend using Cyonogen when all of these issues are present?

1. Inherent from CM10.1

- Wifi-tethering, hdmi, Incall screen landscape, etc.

2. Bluetooh not working

- Need to see if the mojo in cm10.1 works here. (Lots of works...)

3. Camera not working yet

- Both camera can preview, Autio focus is OK for back camera. Can't save the photo...

(Seems bugs in framework_av cause it)

4. The default orientation of lockscreen is lanscape.

- not respond to rotation lock. Workaround: set only one angle in settings and enable rotation.

5. Screen rotation or rapid refresh cause transient noices. (Seems the new opengl issue, will try the new r3p2 mali driver later)

Unless you have a different version where everything works as it should.

Don't get mad, just pointing out the flaws of your suggestion.

Also my wife's Note II does not have this issue so I don't think it is a Samsung issue, then again I might be wrong.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goattee:
First off, I want you to know I am not angry; I am just realistic. Samsung released the GT-P6800 as part of their typical tactic: they offered tablets in every possible size:

7", 7.7 with AMOLED, 8.9, 10.1.

Then they waited to see what the market wanted. Our model's AMOLED display was an expensive (but excellent) component. When the smoke cleared, Samsung followed the market's signal. They never released a follow-up and decided on the Note series as a better product family. We are never going to get Samsung's attention. Between your experience, your wife's and mine, we know that the crashing apps only happen on the 7.7. So there is a combination of Samsung OS and hardware that causes the problem. For the reasons I just cited, Samsung IS NOT GOING TO OFFER FIXES OR PATCHES.

You've done a great job listing possible reasons why someone would not do what I did. (To root and flash a new ROM.)

So let me respond directly to your points.

It's because of my priorities: I care deeply about reading on my tablet. That includes my subscription to The New Yorker magazine (via Newsstand) and PressReader for a variety of global newspapers. If I can't read what I want, I have to find a solution. You complained about Newsstand, so I told you how to get Newsstand working.

Another fringe benefit: I can get rid of the crap Samsung put in the firmware: Social Hub, Readers Hub, widgets, old PressReader, old Pulse, etc.

I can confirm this does not work. If Samsung would release their WiFi drivers to the development community this problem could be fixed. (If Samsung is too busy with more profitable products, they should let the customers fix the problem, no?)

I have not tested these things.

HDMI

A direct physical HDMI connection is a pretty clumsy way of communicating with a TV. I'd rather use XBMC, DLNA, or one of the streaming boxes and "cast" the content to the TV across my network. Who needs to run a cable across the living room or bedroom between TV and tablet?

Bluetooth is working. I use it.

Sorry, I don't know what mojo is.

I did not spend a lot of time testing this. But I was able to save pictures from the back camera. I did not test the front camera. A quick test of Skype was not successful connecting even though wifi is working.

I am not having this problem. I don't remember if this happened on my tablet after flashing CM. But now I am using Xposed framework + App Settings. So almost everything can be forced to auto-rotate.

I am not experiencing any unusual noises. I've never built a ROM so I have no idea about the underlying drivers.

Unfortunately if Samsung won't release all the drivers to the development community, it's unlikely that there will ever be a fully functional alternative ROM for the GT-P6800.

Don't fill up the whole of your internal sdcard and fstrim (JB only) your partitions once a week or on boot. Also, improve android LMK & min frees with V6SuperCharger, or CrossBreeder etc. This may help, but involves some reading on your part.

Apple don't fill their device with as many useful features (or bloatware), which would require greater hardware capacity. There's no comparison.
