[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmermel:
I love this device. In every way. Except I can't read text half the time. Kind of a problem, don't you think?

I am have an Lg GPE to on hand to compare/consider. I like the text size, but don't like the size of the unit or the awful, dim, discolored display.

Help me save my Nexus from being returned:

There are some web pages that don't allow zoom. Bigger deal is that my magazine text in the Playstore app is very small and zoom isn't supported.

The 7 allows magnification if you tap it 3 times. This gives me good sized text. But page scrolling is "frozen". You can pull over to the next column, but it bounces back to where you started when you let go of the screen.

Is there any way to make the magnification function work so that when you scroll on page it will stay where you put it?

I am rooted.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DQEight:
Chrome has a option to force zooming on unsupported pages.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vepaot:
Firefox has a little book thing in the right side of the URL bar that enables Reader Mode. Basically it inverts the site (black background and white text), increases text size, and does a couple of other things to improve reading quality.

I know it's more of a work around than an actual fix for what you're asking, but I love Reader Mode.

Hi,

This keeps happening and is really annoying:

For some unknown reason all my songs are duplicated?

I have 406 songs on my 16 GB SD card. But this is just weird, and I cant seem to fix it:

- Wipe data of app wont work

- Reboot device wont work

- Remove SD card and put it back wont work

I am not gonna format my SD card (again)..

So does anyone else have a solution?

Regards
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Stop using walkman app and use other music player to see if app or SD card is problem.

Does file explorer show duplicate files in folders.?

I've got a new SD card. I think the old one was broken. It works now without problems. Thanks for thinking
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Okay I've got myself a Class 10 32GB SDCard and what do you think:

The problem still occurs. I've done some research and I believe that the database of the walkman app gets corrupeted.

I have 415 songs at the moment and most of them have an albumart, and some files have the same artist but diffrent album art or diffrent artist but same album and album art but the arts are always messed up.

So I'll perform a factory reset and hopefully it will be fixed. If not a reflash and last option is another ROM
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanostray:
I had the problem with my walkman that it didn't find any songs on my SD-card. The songs were located in a "Sounds" folder. When I moved them to another folder (let's say Sounds2) with ES, and rebooted, the songs were shown again the walkman player. Maybe this could do the trick?

After placing a .nomedia, be sure you have 'media' scan your SDcard all over again. Otherwise it'll just stick with what was found during the last scan

No. They both have the same time and timezone. Problem lies with a restore of my PIM databases to Outlook (ref my other thread). The Outlook archive of my PIM data was done on a machine with a 7 hour time difference compared to mine.

I think I will need to restore the Outlook archive on my desktop after setting the time and timezone to be GMT+1. Then sync to my pcc which is set at GMT+8... Will give it a go.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muthzer the One:
Hi, me again...

Well after I managed to flash paranoid Android and run it without lag I were happy for some time... but know I noticed that my phone has some serious problems with it's memory used. It even closes my keyboard while writing a message.

After reboot the memory usage is normal again for some time, but it'll start again after some hours.

Hope somebody has a solution or an advice for me?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muthzer the One:
Alright was able to fix this problem with 2 steps, I don't know if one of them would be enough, didn't test them solo...

First I installed a flashable zip found on xda:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2360985

Btw, it works more fluently now than ever, great work :thumbup:

Second step is an app of play store, guess it's also an app from a xda developer called Android tuner .

I activated most of the 1 klick system tweaks and since that I never had problems again with memory leaks.

If I think about it closer, this thread should be moved to general forum and out of sgs2. Would appreciate it if someone could move it.

Thx though :D :)

[Networking] jgolf:
I have a Linksys WRT54G wifi router. The following are typical wifi speed test for me:

Mixed B & G: 19.55 Mbps (down) and 11.68 Mbps (up)

G only: 13.35 Mbps (down) and 1.41 Mbps (up)

B only: 4.63 Mbps (down) and 2.88 Mbps (up)

Why would the mixed radio output be faster than G only ouput? And why is B only output upstream faster than G only.

Is there any particular known and common reason for something like this? Thanks.
[Networking] teonagode:
Are you using custom firmware like DD-WRT or tomato ?
[Networking] MrObvious:
I would recommend using this because I have a WRT54G v5 and use DD-WRT and it runs pretty good for it's age. It's probably at least a 5 year old router, getitng to be about 10 years old. It still runs pretty faithfully so that is why I use it, despite wanting N speeds. I usually can get about 12-13 Mbps down on my router using my 25Mb/s cable connection using a speed test so that's not bad I suppose.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Suddenly my mobile data doesn't work on T Mobile's IPv6 APN. Works fine on IPv4.

I get the same results on all ROMs I've tried. I flashed a couple 4.3 and 4.4 ROMS and got the same results with a clean install and no added apps or settings.

My wife's phone connects with ipv6 just fine on the same network.

This is on the MDL baseband using any rom, aosp or tw.

The only thing I haven't tried is restoring to stock with Odin, but I really don't want to do that just to test to see if it's a network issue. I can't imagine is a hardware ware problem since the cell network is fine and data works fine on the IPv4 APN. If it was hardward, those shouldn't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] coyttl:
I'm still getting the 'automatic' APN change on my phone, on CM11 and Carbon 4.4 - but I did notice that every once in a while I'll stop receiving data, and have to switch APNs. Once I do, and put it back to the IPv6, it starts working.

What I see could definitely be a ROM issue, though. Could also be a location-based issue? (I'm around the DC area, and get fantastic speeds on LTE, and horrible speeds on Edge.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I could deffinately be location based. But I'm not leaving this general area anytime soon so I can't test that theory.

It's not a speed issue for me. The data works, just only on the IPv4 APN. It will not work on the IPv6 APN aat all.

I checked the APN settings. They are good. I even just switched the IPv4 to 6 in the working APN and that kills it, but comes right back when I switch it back to 4.

This came out of nowhere.

I'd been using the IPv6 APN for months.

And it's not ROM based. A fresh install of any other ROM has the same results.

Weirdness.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
Just curious, why are you so set on using IPv6? The only upside to it is having a unique IP address once IPv4 addresses are exhausted - which they aren't just yet. If it avoids the issue, why not stick with IPv4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Because that's not the only advantage.

I like to keep my mobile data turned off until I need it. This prevents a few different issues for me.

However, MMS messages require a data connection. The ROM is capable of turning data on to send and receive an MMS message automatically, but on certain ROMs it doesn't work properly on the IPv4 APN. It needs the IPv6 APN to work. On IPv4 it will turn data on but it won't connect properly and the message will hang indefinitely in an in downloaded state.

IPv4 works fine for MMS if the data is already turned on when the message comes in. But it doesn't work on auto data. I have no idea why. I don't really care why. I just know I need the IPv6 mobile network to be able to keep my data turned off and still get MMS messages.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seregwethrin:
Hi,

By default, multi-tasking on LG G2 works by holding the home button.

Actually, I love Nexus' buttons because I'm a sucker for multi-tasking and I hate pressing & holding/waiting.

I was planning on buying Nexus 5, after hating the multi-tasking on my current Samsung S3, but it seems LG G2 is a better choice in terms of battery, screen and also camera.

So my question is, can I put that multi-tasking button on LG G2? Holding & waiting is a deal breaker for me.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vepaot:
You can customize your navigation buttons to some degree on the stock ROM, and I'm pretty sure Recent Apps is one of the buttons you can configure.

Though personally I like Halo))) for multi tasking a lot more. But you will need a custom ROM for that.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seregwethrin:
Nope. This phone is highly customized and I don't want to lose features.

Also I'm afraid of dealing any kind of invalidated warranty issues. I wouldn't use a custom rom for this phone, instead I'd buy Nexus 5 if that's the case.

Well the "new thread" page has a "if this is a Question" option, and I chose it. Why is it there otherwise?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seregwethrin:
That customization option of LG G2 is why I asked this question. At this youtu.be/YLS9T2oFsWY?t=25s YouTube Video I see that there's no multi-tasking touch button option. See the attachment #1 here please.

However, on the attachment #2, from this youtu.be/lKUUkGEs5hc?t=59s YouTube Video the guy seems to have multi-tasking button. He commented that he uses "GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys﻿", but I don't know if that app made the multi-tasking button or it can be enabled without a 3rd party app.

I'm still thinking it can't be done without a custom rom. I'd like to know this as certain before buying a phone, so if anyone knows I'd be glad.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalboy94:
Root, install Xposed Framework and buy Xposed G2 premium features. You will then be able to use the Recents button.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vepaot:
Rooting would void the warranty as well, so that's not an option for him.

Unfortunately I don't have a stock ROM to go and test for you. I've got mine all set up the way I want and flashing back would mess up all of my custom notification sounds even with a nandroid backup.

GMD Auto Hide also requires root access, so I think you're boned either way. If you aren't willing to make the modifications to get your device working the way you'd like, then I don't think this is the phone for you. I hope you find one that has the default features you're looking for. :)

What you see circled in red below is the option button, not multi tasking unfortunately
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seregwethrin:
I believe if you need to root a new model phone at the day one , you shouldn't buy it at all.

My rooting experience

Once I was using HTC Desire, its volume down button was stuck. It wasn't starting up, because volume down button makes it enter the boot menu. It was also rooted and wasn't able to unroot it in any way since it wasn't opening. Even the boot menu was not working because the volume down made the menu continuously select the next item.

Thank god the warranty service replaced the phone entirely. If they would have started it up, the warranty would be probably voided.

And I don't live in U.S., warranty services much more *****y around here. You cannot even return a product after you open the sealed box, even if you opened it in the store. It goes to technical service, gets approved for refunding, takes weeks. Less customer rights around here.

That's why I will never pay hundreds of $$$ to some phone I need to get into risk. Also I don't have time for it. I start rooting the phone, then customizing, then more options, more apps, other roms, it takes too much time. I prefer to use what I buy with a clear head. If it's not for me, I wouldn't buy it. So I'm here to understand if this phone is for me or not. This is how I feel. I believe many of you believe otherwise, but we are not all the same.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vepaot:
I disagree with your opinion, the great thing about Android is that if you can think it, you can do it.

But I understand what you are saying and it is your money and your choice. Ultimately, what makes you happy is the most important thing to consider when making a purchase, and it sounds like this feature is a deal breaker for you.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalboy94:
I'm not from the US either, so I am also subject to harsher warranties.

However, what you are requesting is not something ordinary, and definitely not something offered by other manufacturers (everyone uses a preset layout of buttons, the G2 is AFAIK the first phone with a customizable navigation bar out of the box). It is normal that you will have to modify the stock ROM for that, and this kind of customizing is the very heart of Android. If you take risks, you can get amazing results.
