Kindly disagreed:

SDS is mostly a myth and overrated (whenever phone freezes, people start crying about SDS)

I can port nearly every device on Note 2 but no Touchwiz rom on a nexus (just take a look around Dev forum and my signature).

So, for flashoholics like me there is only Note. :angel:
[Galaxy Note II General] _delice_doluca_:
Respectfully disagreed,

I am a regular follower of XDA and some sites and flash many things just even to try sometimes. I also get bored easily with regular software and like to try new ways of using the phone.

If you like to use Note 2 "as is" then it is still a great phone (even greater than some newer phones). However trying new things with that phone is not about discovering what's new on the developers' world, instead it is mostly about "trying a new cure"..

I recently updated my Note 2 to 4.4.2 and then broke my warranty out of curiosity. TW KitKat is really good for people who are looking for a good phone. But then I went for Paranoid Android. The next thing I was looking for to flash was a camera cure because of the problematic camera. After that got solved, now my WiFi is not turning on without a restart and there is not even one person who mentions it on the main topic (I will, but...). In addition to that there is very low volume problem of the sound recording (whether it be a video or just voice) and there is no solution to this either.

I had bought a Nexus 4 and given my Note 2 to my sister. After 5 months she wanted my Nexus and offered my Note 2 back. I couldn't say no cause she really wanted it. Now I have two data coming from two different persons, one is a flashocolic and the other is just a user who likes iPhones etc. The one thing in common is that they both prefer the Nexus.

Because there is really a solution to everything on the Nexus world, software-wise. But here, on Note 2's world, it's like yesterday that the devs were reprehending people with complaints by saying "do it yourself if you can!!!" out of the anger to Samsung not sharing sources.

There is solution to Nexus battery problems too (you could call that a problem only after a Note). Just buy a power bank and you'll get even more battery time than a Note.

On the camera wise, Note 2 is really good. I believe that is the only thing without a solution for a Nexus device. A Nexus sometimes can match with Note 2's camera but never outdo it.

For every other thing you want or you might wanna have in the future, a Nexus is a better and more open possibility..
[Galaxy Note II General] hackerse7en:
Can i ask you how many notes2 have u had?

well i had 2 and both died in the night, i couldnt do nothing, `

so please dont tell me that sds doesn't exist, "i had nightmeers about it ahah"

now im getting my note 2 after a Motherboard replacement.

and whats this and this
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
I do not want to convince anybody. It is only my point of view at the beginning of developing own roms and the possibilities with this ancient device are still outstanding. Certainly better is the Note 3 and the upcoming Note 4.

My dream is Xperia Z2 on Note 2 with S-Pen features and hopefully soon...... :fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

I am supporting on several forums and in many languages and I have seen SDS in realty.

BUT and that is also true: If thousand users ask, if they maybe have SDS cause device seems to die, always freezes, bootloops aso. there is not even one who really suffers from that issue.

And at last your links to Sammy roms on Nexus: You can't be serious to compare that kind of stuff with the abilities of S-Pen.

Kind regards

REALLY!?!?

THIS IS A DEVICE FROM 2011 with these specs

can u tell me what was the first device receiving a port on htc sense 6?

well let's see if note 2 gets first android L than galaxy nexus?

i'm not triyng to convince anybody either, i'm just seiing things as they are, and note 1,2 and 3 are devices with remarcable specs on hardware, but in therms of updates and customization u know who rules.
[Galaxy Note II General] taavaar:
I have my N2 for about a year and half, and never ever been in trouble with it: good battery life, specs and apps, but to tell the truth I use the s-pen just a few days... It´s like new in this moment as I recently installed the DN3 (awesome rom).

Please, who has the Nexus 5, what is the estimated time of battery (use my N2 without bluetooth disbled only and supports a entire day) and what can be done to enhance it?
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
No doubt about that last statement :good:

Note 2 will never get Android L. for sure, BUT developers will port it to N2 anyway and anyhow in the near future :highfive:
[Galaxy Note II General] hackerse7en:
lets hope so:D, i will get mine this week :angel:
[Galaxy Note II General] taavaar:
That´s right, the community of N2 is strong and with no doubt we will have the Android L... Well, let´s study about this negociation N2 x N5...
[Galaxy Note II General] taavaar:
Probably will change the devices until wednesday and return to post my impressions. As my brother wish a lot since I buy the N2 and the difference in prices here I can´t say no. In last scenary I´ll sell or change the N5 for another phablet... thanks to everyone who asked and post comments.

[Galaxy Note II General] akashsgpgi:
dude i have both nexus 5 and note 2(both active usage) with kitkat

FOR ME ,i love the nexus 5

nexus 5 is more compact,light ,performance beast,nice and fast ui,quick updates,high res screen without oversaturated tones:p,nice camera(with hdr+)

BUT

if battery life is really what you need then go for note2 ..i get about 22hrs-23hrs of usage with a bit less than 3hrs screen ontime with nexus 5

with note 2 i get just a bit less than 2 days with the same usage

but nexus 5 has heating issues

note 2 has expandable memory which might be a big deal for some people(me),and much louder speaker,big screen size

...go with n5 but if u need battery,expandable storage,and s-pen..and lag:p then go for note2
[Galaxy Note II General] taavaar:
Thanks, I´ll go for the N5, the only doubt is if I kept it or sale to take another note... I just wish the battery could stand like yours, maybe... but, I´ve sense very few lags on my NII so that´s not a real issue for me.

Update:

Take, at last, the Nexus and it´s a powerful device.

In comparison with my old NII I miss the radio, display of numbers and letters on keyboard, battery life, amoled screen and the quality of speakers.
[Galaxy Note II General] akashsgpgi:
to get numbers in keyboard u can use google hindi input(just set language to eng)

[LG G Watch] ChrisM75:
I think wear does need an uninstaller. Some wear apps dont show in the launcher of your phone, only in the apps list on play (where they can get buried easily) or worse on the apps tab on the phones settings menu.

As it stands if you have a problem with your phone you cant do anything with a Wear device. So if that app is malware, or otherwise borks your phone and/or watch, tough.
[LG G Watch] D-FUSE:
Yeah and the apps I'm building on going on the watch not phone so if u want to remove them you'll need to know adb or use uninstaller

Hello everyone.

I am having an issue that I cannot seem to find a solution for. I looked at this post and tried the SDIFX from play store with out any luck.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2715657

I do not have a rooted phone and would rather not go in that direction yet. I just got the Galaxy S5 from Sprint last week. The problem I am having is that it won't connect to my PC or laptop. It says MTP failed. I have tried every "fix" I found on YouTube and Google. Even though most are not for the S5. I downloaded Kies 3 and then upgraded to their new version with no help. I even had my IT guy login to my PC and try on Friday for several hours with out any success. I am pretty sure the problem is on the computer side as I went to the local Sprint store and they plugged my phone into their computer with out any issues.

Has any one had this problem before?

I am willing to try the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml fix, but not sure if I need a rooted phone or not.

My pc is SSD Win 7 64bit

and the Laptop is XP 32BIT

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

the problem you have with your xda exec, have you fixed it and if so how did you do it. I ask this as i have just got a exec and 2 days aftergetting it my one has stuck on the o2 screen as well and it was when i down loaded the extra stuff on disk 2.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pug:
Try placing it into bootloader and then hard resetting after that. Bootloader may reset the device.

You could also try, if it will go into bootloader, flashing a newer ROM.

Bootloader is hold the power button, backlight button and reset button at the same time for 3 seconds.

[Nexus 7 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] flyoffacliff:
My N7 3G (tilipea) is running Android 4.4.3. I am trying to do a kernel mod. I want the source code on my Ubuntu VM. This table tells me to look in kernel/tegra, but the master branch is empty, and all of the other branches have similar names, so I have no idea which one to use.

Also, I noticed the table says to use device/asus/grouper, even for tilipea, but a also saw a folder for tilipea, and it has less files and folders in it. Do grouper and tilipea both share the grouper kernel?

In the table, what is the difference between Binary location, Source location, and Build configuration? I think Binary location is the firmware source and Source location is the kernel source. What is Build configuration? Where is the source for the bootloader and baseband?

Why are repositorys so unorganized?

Sorry if those are dumb questions, I am new. Thank you

Hello, I just recently bought the Asus memo pad 7 and have been looking on how to root the device. This model is different from the 2013 model which is the me173x. I have the me176cx, which is Intel based. I was going to use the framaroot app but it isn't officially supported and there aren't any posts about this model since it recently came out within the last month. So I'm pretty much asking if anyone has ever rooted the device? It's on android 4.4.2 too. Thanks.

I recently bought a Asus Memo Pad ME176cx, KitKat 4.4.2. The microSD card I bought for it is nearly useless because the OS prevents most apps from writing to the microSD. *grrrr*

I want to store dictionaries and maps on the microSD. I'll give up some security for the convenience of having more and removable storage. Google & Asus, are you listening, do you care at all?

Any workarounds I have read about require rooting.

[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djshotty:
Funny that ASUS have no details of how to install CE on it anywhere on the support site. Not that I'd go down that path anyway - throwing WinMobile on it gives you less chance of full system control than what you get from gaining root with Android...

Why thank you djshotty but you see, Staples hasn't ripped me off. My government did. All because we have a stupid law in Portugal that whatever you buy, has an enviroment tax plus VAT plus whatever Staples ask for, plus the gas/tires i spent to get to the store equals €160. (Yes, I can add)...

I know, i know, you bought it online (i presume). But the thing is, I hate buying stuff online. Most especialy if the store is in another country. All because if something goes wrong with the delivery, you can go ask sainta for a new (in this case) tablet... That said, I don't think it was a rip off considering what I said above.

You obviously only read the bit about you getting your tablet at a much higher price than I paid, yet not taking any notice of my comment that I purchased the item from a retail store, over the counter, off the shelf and in my hands immediately.

Also looking for a root method

I just ordered one of these myself and am hoping for a root method. I've read that sometimes Asus actually post a way to fully unlock the bootloader (eventually) on their site because with tablets there are no carriers involved and they don't care if you do this especially as it voids your warranty and basically gives them a free pass if sometime stops working later. Not sure if this will actually happen for this device but would be nice.

Otherwise, hoping some brilliant minded android dev out there figures out a way....
