under "my apps" yes. But I understand that "my apps" and "my orders" are two different things. "my orders" suppose to show all the apps that i downloaded since day one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMillerNL:
Not really. It's supposed to show orders you did. That sounds more like paid apps to me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00250:
meaning that page only shows apps that I purchased and not include free apps that I downloaded? If that is the case do u know where I can view a list of all my previously downloaded apps? I'm trying to find an app I downloaded last time but I can't remember the name, thats why I need like a history or something. Plus I swear last few months I came across a list of all my downloaded app, which include free apps, it was over 180 something
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMillerNL:
It's in "my apps" -> "all", or at least on your device it's there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladebuddy:
Hit my apps when you're installed apps show swipe right and it should show every app you have installed as long as its still available on play. Sometimes it doesn't show for a while after updating or flashing a new rom . If it still isn't showing after 24 hours I would wipe play data in settings and sign in again and wait if it still doesn't show you could try some of the market fixer apks. Or report it to Google. There should be showing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00250:
problem is previously i removed some apps before from that list by clicking the "x" on the top right. this is what I did http://hackerspace.lifehacker.com/clean-up-your-google-play-my-apps-list-1440210617 so now the apps are gone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMillerNL:
You cleared your history and now you want to find something that was supposed to be there.... Then you're outta luck. You're going to have to find that app by hand now.

Hi.

Have a rooted D802 and all of a sudden, the knock on switch is missing. The feature is still working but no switch anymore to turn it off.

It is supposed to be located under settings/general/gestures but not there anymore.

I know it was there before.

I use original stock ROM, Xposed installer, nothing special otherwise.

I defrost all frozen apps with TB already, still no knock on switch.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sly.cooper:
Hi,

I am facing performance problems after upgrading to 4.3. The battery life too has reduced after upgrading to 4.3. I am running stock version and everything was working fine with original version (i think 4.1). Has anyone seen performance/battery issues with stock 4.3?

I am using company phone and one of the requirement is to have no root access for receiving emails. Is it possible to install root -> Install custom ROM -> and then un-root? Will custom ROM work without root access?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simone:
Usually the bloatware causes the battery drains. As far as I know you cannot use a custom ROM and then un-root.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mangulit_Lang:
Hi I just upgraded to 4.3 yesterday and I noticed there is a faster battery drain. Right now I changed the display and some configurations to see if it works.

I noticed also that it became slow and the RAM usage has gone past 1.3gb and I've turned off the sync and back ground apps. Even after restarting it.

Anyone else noticed this?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidgourpage:
performance issues on note 2 shv-e250s 4.3 version

after upgrading to 4.3 JB on note 2, the ram is consumed always up to 80%, and after taking a picture with camera it takes forever to view the last picture taken, battery life depletes faster than previous 4.1.2.. anyone found a fix? will try a hard reset today..

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

gallery transition issue from camera lag fixed with Hard reset, now i dont know how to remove bloatware and the startup carrier screen, please help, ram is at 65% with no apps, just bloatware
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sly.cooper:
So it looks I am not alone. The lag is noticeable and frequent. I planned to root and custom ROM however the root did not work :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takumibunta:
Well... if you guys prefer a Rooted stock ROM, I suggest you guys get it root and remove all the bloatware using system app remover or something. It's available in Google Play. After that, if you afraid the other apps might drain the battery, try Greenify app. For the app's details please refer the descriptions in Google Play... sorry. You also can try One Power Guard app to improve battery life.

I used this way to maintain my battery life. Of course I also mod everything possible to save more battery life.

For those who really want some kick ass battery saving method, try flash a custom kernel and undervolt the device.

I have tried many things after a year using note 2. If you guys interested to know more about what I've done, welcome to reply or pm me.

*Just want to help, not to prove im a pro

---------- Post added at 03:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 AM ----------

Oh yeah, about improving the performance, try install Seeder app. I also used RAM manager.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ygrec:
takumibunta, thanks for the info and the willingness to help!

I'm kind of new to rooting and android tempering, so sorry if my questions seem stupid. I have a Note II and made an OTA upgrade to 4.3. I have the same issue as the thread starter, battery drainage is awful. Everything else is fine, but the battery drainage is just a dealbreaker.

I've read quite a few threads about downgrading or rooting Note II, and they made me all the more confused. I understand that the upgrade to 4.3 includes Knox, which doesn't allow rooting/flashing. Some actually say that trying to root or flash another recovery on Knox can brick the phone.

Do you possible know a step-by-step guide to downgrading and/or rooting a Note II with 4.3 and Knox, or is there another practical solution that can improve battery life without rooting?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mydragoon:
usually after a major update like this, i'd suggest doing a factory wipe/ reset. that seems to work on my other devices (with major updates).

ya, it can be a pain having to reinstall stuffs, etc... but usually, that works.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ygrec:
mydragoon, thanks for the input, I've tried that, but I'm afraid it only wiped all the files & settings. Still stuck with android 4.3 and poor battery life... Any other ideas?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takumibunta:
I think there is a method to root Android 4.3 without triggering the knox count. And yes, I did see a topic which showed step by step instructions about rooting the phone. I will find the post again and share... Lastly, if you trying to improve battery life without rooting the phone, I think you'll get these answers such as lower the brightness, turn off Wi-Fi and 3G when you are not using the phone bla bla bla. I'm sorry if I offended, but I think there is 'nothing' you can do to improve batter life without rooting...

---------- Post added at 03:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 AM ----------

Yeah I found it. Refer to Dr.Ketan's post. He is friendly to teach newbies step by step about rooting note 2 Android 4.3. Search for his post, there are kinda many of them but don't worry. I can assure you will become an 'expert' after seeing his posts
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweeny80:
I strongly suggest you open setting then wifi. Click menu button and select advanced options. Then untick 'scanning always available'

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ygrec:
Thanks takumibunta, got it!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbean:
That is because Sammy has included even more bloatware into Stock Android 4.3. The KNOX itself will suck a lot of battery juice. :eek:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArvinBoggs:
Thanx for your inputs. I decided to stick with my current non-root stock 4.1.2.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mydragoon:
ya, that reset only wipes data. but usually, that helps reduce the battery drain. it should drain less than before wipe.

as for downgrading... not very sure myself... still reading up, especially the KNOX part. and yes, i'm also not too happy about 4.3

this is definitely a good idea. i'm kinda disappointed that Samsung removed pop-up browser on 4.3. i really love that. so far, i found the APK from somewhere else, but its not the one i'm used to. the one I am used to (before the 4.3 update) was a resizeable one. *sigh*

there are also other little issues that i have with 4.3 update. in summary, its a lousy update. lost some nice selling points (heck, pop-up browser was a marketed feature and i'm upset that this has been removed) and the update din give us any new note3 s pen features.

Is there any way to enable multitouch and touch options in Gennymotion? I'm using an asus t100 (windows 8 tablet convertible). Currently gennmotion treats my touch input as if it were a single mouse cursor, long presses are like right clicks, no multitouch support. Is there anyway to enable this?

P.S. I know about the right click + key options but that's not what I'm after, I'm really just looking for multitouch support.

Thanks :)

I can't tap on the menu button and back button with the s-pen on GN2.

Is there a way to get the s-pen to take you back to the home screen ?

I read some thread (from 2011 and 2012) about "menu button" and "return button" of GN2 and I wanted to know if definitively it was impossible to use these two buttons with s-pen.

Today I'm on custom Rom Android 4.3 DN3.

For the moment I use "GMD Spen Control.apk" who is a good substitut.

Maybe There's a way to make these keys work with the s-pen

Your advice is welcome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MunkinDrunky:
The circuit that generates the magnetic field which allows the s pen to operate, is only behind the screen. You can use the pen button and draw a gesture commands. Drawing an up arrow is menu and a back arrow like a less than sign is back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] claude974:
OK

So it's a physical impossibility. :(

In that case, i think "GMD Spen Control" is the best way to simulate "menu button" and "return button" for me, because without this app i can't do anything :p

Many thanks for quick reply and explanation
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MunkinDrunky:
Yup for us impossible. The note 3's digitizer does extend to the menu and back keys so it will work.

I have been facing this issue for a week now,firstly it was just one caller,and now every call i get shows unknown no. Idk what's wrong! Any help?
[Sony Xperia L] Redzo:
That could easily have to do with your service provider and nothing with phone itself. check with your service provider first.
[Sony Xperia L] arjit mehra:
Hmm..i did call them , they said wait for 24 hours.Let's see.Plus the call function is behaving weirdly,it won't accept call,the dialer won't show up and all! :/
[Sony Xperia L] Redzo:
In that case it is your phone that is the culprit. Restore it with Sonys PC software and let us know if that helps.
[Sony Xperia L] mahithlal:
first do a factory reset
[Sony Xperia L] arjit mehra:
I don't think it's my phone's fault because i put the sim in my dad's phone and then also it didn't recognize the incoming caller's id :/ I just don't know what the hell is wrong!

I'm not really interested in your build, but rather in your sources.

Could you please upload them on github or something like that?

I can help you to fix your issues way easier that way, at least Bluetooth, NFC and SELinux should be easy.

don't have many time to build and test now, maybe this weekend. sorry for that.

PS. Why not use boot manager? I always install stock rom in native and test rom in loop, so if there are any error found on test rom I can switch back to stock rom when I'm outside and can't flash the rom immediately. I think it is safe that won't miss any call or something I must use my phone to do. Anyway it is your choice.
