[Nexus 5 Accessories] Matrix_19:
anyone can tell me what is the difference between the GLAS.tR NANO and the GLAS.t NANO ?

and which one is the best ?

thanks
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Seedyh:
the 'r' has rounded edges. Supposed to be better at preventing chips.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Matrix_19:
thanks !!

Now I need to find out ....is it worth the 5$ over the GLAS.t NANO
[Nexus 5 Accessories] namurt:
one other important difference to note is thickness. the tr nano is 0.23mm whereas the t nano is 0.15mm. this may seem like a very miniscule difference, but it can come into play when considering interference with particular cases. also, bear in mind that the thinner the protector, the more flexible it will be. flexibility allows the protector to adhere better to the phone's screen. it's been well documented that many n5's have slight screen imperfections near the bottom of the screen (around the notification led).

i personally use a tr nano at the moment and have had no issues. i'm ordering another one as well as a t nano. i botched the install a bit on my first tr nano and would like to try the t nano just for comparison's sake. if i don't like the t nano i'll install the spare tr nano.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shadowdevil:
Absolutely :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] waris choy:
You have to consider that if the glass t nano is significantly thinner. then the edges will be less noticeable and therefore less of a problem. Also Spigen glass protectors are very expensive. I am not sure if they are worth the markup over other brands such as Nillkin.

But then, a rounded edge is less likely to chip.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Matrix_19:
Yeah Spigen is very expensive...

I think I will try the Glass-M 15mm... 19.99$ US on aliexpress

Anyone else having trouble with CyanogenMod locate device?

I keep getting a "Please wait while we attempt to locate device" message with a spinning circle icon and then after awhile the following message appears "We are still attempting to establish a secure connection to your device. Your device may not have an active Internet connection, or may be powered off. You can continue to wait, or refresh the page to retry".

My device is powered on and the same message appears when connected to wifi or to mobile network. This is a serious security problem IMHO!

My phone is a Droid RAZR Maxx (XT912, Spyder) and I'm running CM-11-20140215-NIGHTLY.

Is there a fix for this problem?
[HTC One Max] nathlynn22:
At present I have a HTC one and an Xperia Z Ultra. Wondering whether to get a htc one max and sell my other phones or sell both and get a note 3 or keep the Xperia z ultra and sell the HTC one. I'm unsure does anyone have some advice other suggestions etc please help.
[HTC One Max] AA181891:
just my opinion

If you prefer performance, then keep ZU or sell for Note 3

If you are not really care about performance, just choose your ideal phone

There are so many factors can change your mind, it could be performance, screen size or phone body, etc.

Read by my HTC One max itself
[HTC One Max] neodiver:
Keeping in mind that I'm heavily One Max biased, This is an extremely capable device. Gorgeous fullHD screen + front facing stereo speakers (sound is to die for!) = Mini Home Theater. Runs super smooth, never hiccups. My battery lasts a full day. I thought having only SD600 and 2GB RAM was going to be an issue for me but it's totally not. I beat on her and she's snappy enough for me... and nothing's snappy enough for me! Oh and I love my camera, pics are great, a million times better than my last phone.

Note 3 was what I was originally going to buy. I played with it a lot while waiting for One Max to be released. Beautiful device, super fast, Day-Glo screen LOL. It's... well... it's a Samsung Galaxy (It should be noted that we own 5 Samsung Galaxies) Clunky UI, TouchWiz :eek:, insane bloatware, SuperAMOLED screen. I am personally not a fan of Samsung screen tech. Colors over-saturated and unnatural. The Note does have some cool and unique capabilities, like It's S-Pen and Multi-app.

To be perfectly honest I have no hands on experience with Z Ultra. It's gorgeous, glass, waterproof, great specs, I'd have one for fun if I was rich. :D

Also for your consideration is the recently launched LG G Pro 2. 5.9" 1920x1080... Equally comparable in specs to the Note and the Z Ultra, It's also equally as pretty.

Good luck deciding! :cool:
[HTC One Max] nathlynn22:
Your right so many factors haha. There's a constant battle going on in my head for past couple of weeks. To be honest I just chucked the note 3 in there as another phone. Although I like the idea of some of there stuff the ui is horrible. And still don't like the design that much. The xzu is a powerhouse it is so smooth. The ui is great best I've seen but to me it is other parts letting it down. The screen is stupidly sensitive to the point if the screen is abit dirty from fingerprints (it is a fingerprint magnet) then the screen can go crazy with phantom touches etc it's installed with a factory installed anti shatter film which also scratches quite easily. There's no ir blaster. And the thing I hate is its such a big phone they for some reason couldn't incorporate a god damn flash. Plus the Sony throw (dlna) is pretty ropey to say the least with my HTC one it would play one video then play the next without having to mess around. With the xzu it can be a night mare and that's if you even get it to work. Sometimes I have to turn off wifi on phone then back on or even turn off the phone completely all while turning off TV to get a connection. It can be a frustrating phone to say the least. [MENTION=5669251]neodiver[/MENTION] the water proof isn't all that you have to compromise for sound quality. But it is a luxury device. But for luxury the price for accessories is crazy, for the xzu power case it's about £110... But again while I sent the xzu off for repair last week. I hugely missed the phone. I was using my HTC one and was not impressed having to use it. I'm not sure if that was small screen phobia or what haha. But it was lacking. It may have been the rom I was on. It was great to have a good camera phone back but still. If you guys could give me advice. I don't mind how biased you are towards the phone.I had a demo on the phone over weekend. At the moment the power is in your hands haha. What is the camera like? Is it same as htc one? Does the sd600 let it down I'm any way. What is Dev support like. Is it rootable. I may even try a gpe rom is the one available. I guess it has xposed bit can you use the toolbox.apk. Which is on htc one on the max? What do you guys think of the HTC accessories if you have them or even if there are any out... I haven't yet checked. Does it work with the Sony smartwatch 2 I don't have 1 but may give it a go at some stage. Etc. Thanks if you do manage to read my long ramble.

Oh I will have a search for that LG. Might not be available in UK yet as haven't heard much of it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xanderharris86:
So I'm not sure if this is a possibility but I was curious if there's a way to remove all the accented letters that appear when you long press on a letter?

I usually long press certain keys to get commas, question marks, etc, and on certain keyboards (depending on the rom) it seems they've more recently started including all the accented keys and I have swipe to the punctuation I want, instead of just long pressing. This may seem trivial (mostly because it is!) but it's just a personal preference and I'd like to see if it was possible.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jmdrizen:
Hi, I'm hoping that someone's going to know how to do this..

On my old S60 Nokia I could set up timed profiles and zoned profiles.

The timed profiles was useful as it meant the phone would automatically turn to a "silent/vibrate" mode between a certain time, like late night/early morning, and then automatically change back in the morning.

The Zoned profiles meant, that when I was in the office the phone would automatically set to quiet, then when I walked out would go to loud, by use of mobile tranmitters, not GPS, but either would be great!

Does anyone know whether there is an application that would work with WM5 on the Uni that can do this? Or even just Timed Profiles... Or even Profiles PERIOD!!!

Cheers and best regards!!!!

Hi,

I've tried PhoneAlarm and PPCProfiles, but they've both got some problems :-(

PhoneAlarm did something but for the life of me I can't remember what :( It was annoying and needed a hardreset I know that!

PPCProfiles messes with my Ringtones, it conflicts with the Phone and Notifications options in the Control Panel :-(

I can't find a demo of PocketZen, all the links get me to 404 errors :-/

Is there anything else? What I want is so that between 0800 and 2200 Mon - Fri and 0900 - 2000 Sat and Sun my phone rings as normal, but other times the ringer is automatically turned off (leaving alarms to sound as normal)

Any ideas?

Cheers.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izi501:
Hello all,

I'm a dev from WildFire S forums, currently porting CyanogenMod 10.2 and 11.

CyanogenMod 10.2 is built and now we get a problem with boot : it reboots in recovery. There were a lot of problems in ramdisk (which could be seen in the kernel logs) but the biggest one for now is that the kernel command says : androidboot.mode=recovery which means the bootloader tells the device to reboot to recovery. I searched on Internet how is implemented the choice of the boot mode by the bootloader, but didn't find anything interesting about recovery.

So what I tried for now : overwriting the command line sent by the bootloader using several methods. First, just adding androidboot.mode=normal to BoardConfig.mk didn't do anything. Then I added in kernel config (arch/arm/configs/marvel_defconfig) the flags CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE=y and CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERWRITE=y. Theoretically, according to doc, when default cmdline defines some flags already defined by the bootloader, it should overwrite the bootloader command - if I understand well. Then I modified the default command line in arch/arm/Kconfig to set androidboot.mode to normal. But it still does not work. I also modified a little bit the implementation of CMDLINE_FORCE, you can find the commit here : https://github.com/cm-10-2-marvel/Marvellous-KERNEL/commit/f91083fb769e946b1b8b2ea8749e1bba9268dd0d

Should I put the whole command line in the default command line ? Or is there something else I should do ?

If you want some links :

The last_kmsg : http://pastebin.com/vJsmj3sR

Just one more thing : I do not have write access to the HBOOT partition nor do I want to modify it ;)

Thanks again for answering,

Can I go back to 4.2.1 using CWN?

Is there a reasonably safe/reversible way to get AOSP (or close) onto what is currently a stock HDX 8.9? -- running 14.3.1.0.

Sorry to ask specifically, but there are multiple threads and many of them stretch to 20+ pages - I've read through them but there's just a little too much info for me to safely digest. I'm quite comfortable with linux and development environments in general but have no direct experience in the android world, so I'm looking for a sanity check before I try to root/safestrap/AOSP this thing.

Thanks.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ljwobker:
Thanks, very helpful. One question: what are the options (limitations???) of setting up ROM slots in safestrap as far as how the partitions are sized? Long term I'm *assuming* that I'll eventually want to run this thing almost entirely off the rooted/secondary ROM.

1) Can a system booted from a non-stock ROM slot see files/partitions (what's the right term?) from other ROM slots (or the stock ROM?)

2) once installed, can ROM slots be resized?

3) or is the actual file system allocation dynamic?

I guess the very short question is "what's the right way to size ROM slot partitions?"
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Faznx92:
The rom slots can't be resized but the rom files are like a img partition with an addition of a small data partition and cache. When you install apps in stock it can still be ran from outside the stock rom. I think of it like this. Hardware|Bootloader/Kernal/|System base|Stock rom & Other rom's or rom slots|Apps&SDFiles

I'm not to sure how correct this is but it's what I picture. You can only install so many things to the data partition in the rom slot but if you run out of space you can install to the full sd. Slashes show were I'm unsure how it interacts with the next level above.

I'm not sure if this is the right idea at all but hopefully it brings some clarity.

It's like a vm but ran from the full system with access to the host os I guess.

To answer you question, just make the rom slot as big as you can make it if your planning on using it as you main rom. Until the system is fully open (ie cracking the bootloader) can you use the full system and partitions.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DJBenson:
I updated my wife's Xperia SK17i to UrmiGen!-A Hybrid (having taken a Nandroid backup first) but I need to restore the previous backup as the contacts have not restored. As part of flashing UrmiGen!-A Hybrid, I had to flash a new boot.img and now the Nandroid backup will not boot (stuck in boot loop).

I think the ROM (for which I have a Nandroid backup) was the latest stock Gingerbread build for the SK17i, I've tried a couple of boot.img files and all result in a boot loop.

Does anybody have the stock boot.img from the latest Gingerbread ROM?

Alternatively - does anybody know how to extract the contacts from the Sony Ericsson dialler/contacts app using the Nandroid backup?

Hmmmm...you need a pc/laptop and winrar/7-zip if you want to extract contact from Nandroid backup....

just to to your Nandroid backup (data.yaffs2.tar.a) and open it using winrar/7-zip....then go to...

data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/database/

extract contacts2.db into your pc/laptop....then transfer this files into you rom and copy/paste/replace into the same directory as above...give the right permission and reboot....that the way to extract it....

but if your wife sync her contacts to her gmail account then you just need to re-sync it then you will get back all your contact without having to do the above step....

as a suggestion, next time before you flash other rom the most wisely way to backup your contacts it to sync it to gmail first...if you don't want to sync then open your contact and press menu - import/export - export to storage ....this will backup your contact and create a 00001.vcf (vcard) on your SD....for restoring the just select menu - import/export - import from storage ....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] changt34x:
Does anyone know of the best way to get serious technical attention from Google or Samsung? To put how serious this is (not to start a flame war), I will be purchasing an iPhone 5S on Monday and never another Android device unless either they solve this issue or I get another job (I LOVE my job, so unlikely).

If you search Android Wifi Constantly Downloading, you will find results from people who have this issue. Some people say its sync, some its apps updating, but it is not. It is a bug with the Android kernel in how it doesn't filter multicast packets, resulting in the system staying awake and receiving packets most of the time. Some people have been able to solve it by purchasing a new router or turning off multicast on computers, but this is not an option in an enterprise location like a hospital. I have been stuck with this issue since I got my Note 2 last year.

The Note 3 exacerbates this problem even more because the processor low power states are not as efficient as the Note 2's. On the Note 3 I lose 12-15% per hour idle, on Airplane Mode with Wifi on. I did a test on my Note 2 and in 1 day and 7 hours of complete idle, radios off, and wifi on the battery drained fully.

Normally I carry my phone and a 9000mAH external battery. It takes the entire phone's battery and 80% of the external to get through a normal day. Last week, with the major ice storm, power was out for days and I was stuck at work. Generators provided only power to essential services, so my phone was dead days before the power was back. I do have UL data but Verizon's signal does not penetrate at all. I am tired of worrying about battery and if something like this happens again, I will be out of luck. No iOS devices have this issue and as a result I will be switching, keeping my Note 3 only for rare travel use.

This is a thread for reference: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1738171&page=6. Every Android 4.0+ device I have ever encountered (S3, S4, Nexus 4, Nexus 5 [drains even faster], Note 2, Razr, etc.) has this issue (why I want Google to solve it) but it can be solved with kernel mods (why I want Samsung's attention) as it was on the GNex in franco's kernel.

If you are sleeping and your Samsung phone melts and catches your pillow on fire, and then you take pictures and post it on Reddit, you will probably get the attention of someone at Samsung.

Other than that, if you are worried about what your phone is doing with the data it is downloading, you can go to Settings > Data Usage and see what apps are using data and how much in whatever time frame you would like. If an app is using too much data, turn off its sync in account settings and disable notifications from within the app. If you are concerned that your phone is using data that it is not telling you about, set up a packet sniffer and see what's going on. Be sure to let us know what you find!

Wile i don't know how to answer your question, you may want to try giving yourself a static IP address at your work and see if the helps with the broadcast battery drain.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] changt34x:
Exactly what I figured, but I would rather not burn the apartment down yet. I have done packet analysis and it is the Android kernel. All sources of packets are from local IP addresses on the same enterprise network. No way to stop data from that so far, too bad the obvious solution of using android firewall and blocking kernel from all networks doesn't work.

Thank you for trying to provide a solution, but I have tried that before and it doesn't work.

Just like the poster on the other thread said, probably will never get fixed. Well, until Android 5 or 6 comes out. Check out my incredible battery life of 8 seconds screen on, airplane mode, sync off, and wifi on below.
