[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freakfussel:
Hey guys,

I'm using samsung galaxy ace 2 with official jellybean 4.1.2. All is nice, but there is one thing i miss. Under "screen" in my menu, there is no notification panel option. i have searched the web, but i haven't found anything :crying: . If you know, how to get this option, please tell me. That would be very nice.

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryccardo:
You mean you want to change the selection of options under the status bar?

You can't...

1: Manually modify the framework-res.apk -- very hard relatively to the other options, but if you really love the design of Samsung's original power toggles...

2: Flash KyrillosV9, it uses Lidroid toggles instead (with a dedicated configuration app) but looks slightly flatter

3: CyanogenMod can be freely configured to have power toggles or a dedicated page of the status bar for those options.

Hey Guys!

Just wanted some opinions. I'm looking for a good way to accomplish a task. I recently had a job offer letter sent to me in. Doc format. I had to sign this document. What is an easy way to do so on the Note 3. This time I put my signature in sketch book and then transferred to PC and put it add image in the doc... But I'm looking for an easier way to do this on mobile only.

Thanks in advance!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranclemont:
Use POLARIS Office 5

If you have the signature already saved on your phone, just insert it as an attachment to the doc with the Polaris Office 5 bloatware app. I just tested i on mine and got it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
I've got a lot of wearables (Pebble, Gear, Fitbit, Glass, etc.) and the Gear beats them all by a wide margin based on functionality, ease of use and looks.

I'm still baffled that nearly every review and comment I see still bashes it.

Especially with the latest updates it has become a great device.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] redalertlb:
I don't understand that either. I mean my only complaint is that I haven't been pushed the new update but I plan to manually do so anyways and the battery life isn't the greatest. But honestly what do you expect from a watch that does so much? I'm happy I don't see what everyone else's problem is. Maybe they expected to strap it on and start curing cancer or something... Its a watch people.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] AVInstaller:
You hit the nail on the head. I have the Quallcom Toq in addition to the Galaxy Gear, and the only better feature with the Toq is their interferometric modulator*display technology (Mirasol display). With this technology, 3 to 5 days battery life can be obtained with heavy usage if the backlight is not used, but the display itself is always on and readable, and actually becomes more readable in direct sunlight. With the display always lit, it appears less nerdy than a blank faced (no display) smartwatch. Bottom line is, I'd rather have one full days battery life out of a useful smartwatch, than 3 to 5 days of battery life from a smartwatch that is only marginally useful and is clunky in its operation. With note 3 tucked in pocket, on a ladder installing an in ceiling speaker, I can answer a call on the Galaxy Gear from my wife, so she can tell me she crashed into my car that was parked in our garage. True story.

Could it be better, sure.... But for a company that took a chance to beat Apple to the mass production line, it is pretty impressive.

My 2 cents worth.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] WRichieX:
Completely agree with you. I bought a metawatch when it first came out as a developer watch. It was awesome at the time, but the gear blows it out of the water. I mean, battery life isn't bad. I think people read the 25 hours and think it's true. When I first got my gear, I couldn't put it down and still got 2 full days. Now I'm getting close to 4 days. With the notification update, this thing just got way cooler and more useful. It just keeps getting better and better every day. I can't help but to think that people that give it bad reviews either have not really owned one or have not used it to it's potential.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jeshter2000:
Well and I have some "inside" info. They are planning something big with the watch Samsung is building a new rom every day.....

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Do you know what it is that they are planning?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jeshter2000:
No not yet ... Im poking my sources!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ragnarkov:
I watched a ton of reviews on YouTube, and while they were all basically saying cool device but lots of problems, there was one similarity. They were ALL done within the first week or two of release. Before a lot of the issues were addressed (namely the notification issue). Even reviews released late November were actually using pre-updated information.

Under my daily usage (heavy notifications, reminders, calls and pictures), I get easily 1.5 days. And since I charge my phone every night anyways, it's no biggie to charge my watch as well. I used to take my regular watch off every night as well, now the only difference is an additional charging cord.

I'm happy with battery life, amazed at how much they crammed into a watch (seriously, this is a WATCH, and look at its capabilities, not even with rooting and such), and am not even mad about the price (my wife bought me a watch a few years ago for about half the cost, and all it has going for it is a few small diamonds inlaid in it. All IT can do is tell me the time)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] blkscorpio:
I've checked out all other reviews on other watches, And my gear do way more than those other watches
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] @home:
Would be nice if it worked with other Android devices though, Like my Nexus 5.

Sometimes the Note is a little large for where I'm going so the N5 is ideal & the Gear would complement it brilliantly.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fatmaninc:
Hey guys i got a couple of question, I have the pebble watch so when the notification comes on the watch and you view it does it clear it from the phone? also with the pebble watch the talkback system on the phone turns on so that means when i use the stock browser the voice says like "page loading or page loaded" im guessing the gear doesnt do that right?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aviguera:
The device was bound to get bad reviews because of the limited functionality, and limited usability before it was available to the current crop of smartphones.

And even then, you have the issues that Google Wallet faced when it was first released... if it only works with a couple of phones to do a few things, people are going to be quick to dismiss it as a "gimmick"

And it doesn't help when it's not a cheap gimmick as well. Unless you're a serious tinkerer -- like most of the people reading this thread -- you have to be seriously committed to not just Android but to the Samsung ecosystem as a whole in order to actually enjoy spending $300 on this smartwatch.

If Samsung releases a complete solution that would allow the Gear to work with ANY Android phone that supports Bluetooth LE, and work flawlessly without any tinkering, then you'll see a turnaround in the reviews -- much like you saw with the Gear Manager update that allowed additional notifications.

Their application development for the Gear is invite-only, so even if you had access to an SDK you couldn't publish any apps for use with the watch -- again, unless it was restricted to people "like us" that don't mind going out of their way to push an apk and sideload it to their watch, at the risk of turning it into a brick.

It's going to take some doing, and I don't know if Samsung will actually do what is necessary for this particular generation of the Gear to become a mainstream device. I'm glad I got one, but in retrospect it's really a lot of hard work to fully extract its potential. Until Samsung addresses this, I doubt you'll see many stellar reviews.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] chart:
Help me psl my IIi can not heard phone conversation when plug sync charger.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] softwaresecret:
I have exactly the same problem.

I bought a retractable sync/charge cable from ebay.

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/PDA-Sync-and-Charge-Cables-and-Crad

However, if the cable is plugged into the phone, then the phone speaker (and I think also the mic) are muted. The cable dosn't even have to be plugged into the PC USB port to cause this problem.

At first I thought this was some incorrect wiring on pin 19 of the connector at the XDA end of the cable. This signal is meant to control whether the sound is driven out of the car kit pins or not. However, this signal was not connected on the connector, which should be ok.

I noticed that if the phone is paced in the original sync cradle, then the pda appears to go into handsfree mode, which would tally with one of the functions of pin 19.

All I can guess is that the s/w in the phone detects a signal on the USB pins and attempts to route sound out via the car kit pins.

Anybody know of a fix for this?

Cheers,

Chris.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] MrSandman:
I know many people have exactly this problem. It is not a problem of our XDAIIi, it is the problem of the Sync charger. I remember someone has shown how to fix this problem of the sync charger in a Vietnamese mobile phone forum but I don't understand anything 'bout electric so I can not translate it. What a pity!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] softwaresecret:
Hi MrSandman,

I dont speak Vietnamese, but I do know electronics.

If you could post a link to the forum, I may be able to make some sense of it.

Thanks,

Chris.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] MrSandman:
I have the link but I'm sure u will not understand anything 'cause everything is in Vietnamese. In that topic, one guy said that he could fix that f***ing problem and if anyone wanted to fix it, just brought the sync charger to him. He just shown how to fix it in a few words that no one could understand. But in general, he said: "open the plug head of the sync charger and remove the first "masse" string". Does anyone know what is the "masse string"?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] softwaresecret:
Fixed !!! :D

This works for my cable - but try this at your own risk!!

After thinking about it some more and re-reading the connector signal descriptions here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Connectors

I took another look at the wiring in my cable.

I noticed that pin2 (GND/Sense) was connected to the other GND pins at the XDA end of the cable. The notes in the above web page states this will cause the phone to hang up.

I disconnected this pin from GND and now I can hear phonecalls when the cable is plugged into the phone.

I noticed that pin 5 (Analog GND) was also connected to the other GND pins which is also apparently a bad thing. I disconnected it just in case.

Pins 20,21 and 22 are the 5v positive charge connections. They are not connected in my cable and I wondered about connecting them to the USB 5v signal. I decided to leave it in the end as they may draw too much current form the USB port. The phone does charge anyway - just very slowly.

Hope this helps.

Chris.

:D

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] slumberjer:
I have the same problem also.. i've read the wiki but did'nt catch well what it saying. Please put in in a simple words step by step what to do..oo please..
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] ebinans:
2 GND / SENSE

5 ANALOG GND

16 GND

17 GND

18 GND

In my cable connector there were two small red wires soldered to 3 pins (from '2' to '5' and from '5' to all three GND pins which were soldered together as one pin;

The thing is that '2' shouldn't be connected to GND. In wiki there were suggestion not to connect '5' to GND as well (has nothing to do with sound problem).

I removed those red wires and everything is working fine (I'm using it for a month now);

Be careful and good luck!

Then your phone is not running the current version of AT&T firmware or your phone is not an AT&T phone. Or you just missed the setting as it is buried deep in the menu.

Just to make sure, open the camera (stock app), tap menu, tap settings, then tap the gear at top right, and look at very bottom of list.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jonstrong:
I'm new to the HTC One section -- visiting to check on an issue for my son who just got his One a month ago. Apologies if this has already been discussed in another thread -- I searched and didn't see anything about this.

My son noticed that there's now a persistent notification (on the notification shade, of course) that indicates that Device Manager is running. I've never seen this on my other devices with Android Device Manager running -- not on my LG G2, Galaxy Nexus, Moto X's (wife and daughter), Nexus 7's or Nexus 10. Just on the HTC One, and just in the last day or so (probably right after a recent update).

The notification can't be swiped away, and I don't see any options in the app itself to turn notifications on/off. We'd really like to be able to turn this off if possible.

Any ideas / suggestions most appreciated.

I had this issue when I manually updated to the latest 4.3 OTA .. If thats what happened here then this worked for me:

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] akshay2000:
Hello fellow members!

First and foremost, here's the link to the project: http://github.com/akshay2000/ProjectMirror

In past, I have experienced the problem where I wanted to create an app and needed to synchronize data between multiple devices. Look at my to-do app for example. It is always pain to write and meddle with the synchronization logic individually. Why should developer be bothered about these things instead of being focused on his app? Datastore API tried to solve this problem. Unfortunately, the Dropbox people sort of denied the support for Windows Phone. So, I created a similar thing for Windows Phone using Windows Azure. I want this to reach as many developers as possible. Please, suggest this thread to be published as news item.

I have created a library to synchronize data between Windows Phone and Windows Azure. This library provides an API to synchronize data and is quite similar to the Datastore API provided by the Dropbox people. Developers can simply ask the API to store an item. The item will automatically be cached locally and synchronized to the cloud. Also, the data created and modified on the other devices can be synchronized back to the local storage.

The project uses SQL Server CE for storing data locally and Windows Azure Mobile Services for storing data in the cloud. The developer has full control over what goes where. Also, the authentication mechanisms provided by the WAMS are completely supported by this API.

The whole project is published at GitHub along with example. Here's the URL: http://bit.ly/ProjectMirror

Please, take a look and help me find and kill the bugs.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timropp:
I have a couple different Qi chargers (desk, car, etc). I want to stick NFC tags on them to trigger appropriate actions for each location. I know some places sell chargers w/ builtin NFC, so it should be possible.

I got some of these black nfc tags and they work great - off of the chargers. Once I stick them on a charger, the phone rarely reads them. It usually will read if I wiggle the phone around and up and down, but not by just placing the phone on the charger.

Any way to make this more reliable? Or is the Qi just interfering with the NFC too much?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwreck420:
i imagine its the qi interfering with the NFC. apparently the phone send a bit of current to the nfc tags when it reads them, so thats prolly part of the problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hollywoodfrodo:
Yeah, NFC tags get their "power" from your phone's battery's magnetic field - that's what triggers them. If they are on the charger then the charger itself is emitting a field and that's going to interfere with the ability of the phone to trigger the tag. I would suggest trying different placements on the charger to see if there's a place you can put one that will work, but likely you'll have to put it on the surface beside the charger and not the charger itself... or get a charger that has the nfc built in.
