[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] muzzy996:
There's probably launcher managers out there, I recall using one once a few years back but since it's easy enough to dive into Settings-General-Default Applications-Home and change it I prefer not to load yet another application that has the potential to stay cached/memory resident just for that purpose.

Trying out different launchers won't impact the device much, when you switch back to stock Touchwiz based launcher all of your widgets and icon layouts will be there waiting for you. My advice is to just do one launcher at a time, if you don't like it uninstall it rather than collecting several and switching between them . . the more you load the system down the more risk you have should a launcher you decide to not use has services associated with it that still run or cache themselves in the background taking up resources.

As for screen rotation, the rotation of home screens between portrait and landscape is not my cup of tea. Widgets scale when you rotate to try to adjust for the new aspect ratio that rotation forces upon them and this results in stretch/compression that is unappealing to me. What I use is a rotation manager like Ultimate Rotation Control to force "auto landscape" mode such that my tablet can be used in either landscape orientation (home button up or down) while preserving the ability of all other apps to have the freedom to go portrait or landscape.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] muzzy996:
Best to not take this thread off topic . . suggest you ask the other questions in a separate thread that you create in the troubleshooting or general forum.

I will say this - the ultimate rotation control application does allow you to force ANY application into an orientation of your chosing which includes the launcher. So yes, if I'm in an app that's portrait and I'm holding the tablet in that portrait orientation when I hit the HOME button my tablet goes into landscape due to the rotation control app overriding the orientation sensors in the tablet.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] pawpowered:
Good. Thanks. I found that app just now. I will post a thread about the language mix-ups. I just joined here yesterday and don't know my way around yet, but the first thing I noticed is that your membership here covers the globe and I can't possibly be the only one here who's run into this problem.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] pawpowered:
I have another rotation-related question and it's probably a dumb one too but it occurred to me because my Note 4 and my Note Pro had different rotation issues and I chose different ways of fixing them. For the tablet, I installed Ultimate Rotate Controller because I only wanted to lock my Home sceen in landscape. On the other hand, I didn't want my phone to spontaneously switch to landscape when I was holding it, as it often did, especially if I got a call because the landscape view made those 'accept' and 'reject' buttons harder to see and harder to hit right. So, I went into Settings, Display and unchecked the box for screen rotation to stop that. It worked. So my question is:

Is this kind of thing actually set by the device 'Settings' and not by the Touchwiz launcher? If you've set your device to disallow screen rotation, wouldn't that hold no matter what launcher you used? Or not?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] muzzy996:
Using system settings or the quick settings toggle for rotation in the notification tray is a system wide lock of rotation. If your goal is to lock a launcher to a specific rotation then look within the settings of the launcher itself. Some launchers will have a setting to lock orientation, nova does for example. Doing it within the launchers own settings only affects home screen and application tray, not other screens like the call or dialer screen.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] pawpowered:
Thanks for clarifying that! Going to system settings looked like the only option to try, long before I started thinking of launchers - or even thinking of Touchwiz as a separate entity. (the Note 4 was my first Android phone too :o ) It seemed worth the trouble to go back and allow that rotation again at my leisure, when I wasn't doing something risky like driving down the road. Mother always happens to call me when I'm driving back from town on dark mountain roads, so that was about the first thing I learned to do on my phone. Verizon has recently informed me that I can now make and receive calls on my tablet, which brings me to a question only peripherally related, pun intended:

Would you direct me to a thread here, if you happen to know of one, discussing appropriate headsets, something more up to date, for my phone and tablet? I don't know what to call them or the names of the best brands. I only have a 6-year-old little ear piece that I got for my old flip phone and almost never used and it may not be up to the job for these newer devices.

I saw some games to play with your cats on the playstore last night that you use your phone to control - and then your cats get to jump all over your tablet. :eek: If you can do that much, could you also affect the screen orientation of your tablet with your phone?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] pawpowered:
OP, have you tried this launcher: Live Launcher? I saw it on SlideME tonight and it has the 3D effects. It's free.

If you reboot, restart or use software to get into download mode this is always the result. Too many flashing guides appear to be copy-paste work where mandatory POWER OFF is missing.

Modem.bin + non-hlos.bin was not properly flashed. Reason explained.

No need to search for the hoax called "wifi fix".

Simple solution:

POWER OFF, boot to download mode (pwr + voldown, volup to confirm) , PC Odin 3.0x flash ANY complete stock Lollipop.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
So I just purchased a Xperia PLAY, again, and want to use it as a game device only. I thought at one point some years ago there was a ROM here that was simply just a ROM without mobile phone capabilities. Can anyone shed some light on this or am I mistaken? Its been over 18 months since I moved on to a Nexus 5. Does anyone know if a way to remove certain cell related files but still retain full function of the device?

hey guys i have an annoying problem....

i am using custom rom lollipop 5.1 for a while (about 4 months) and i am just done from all these bugs and laggs so i decided to go back to kitkat 4.4.2 (factory firmware) from sammobile and downgrade the phone.

now when i installed it , it shows a ( Ø ) symbol in network signal bars.

i tried to reconnect to any mobile network by i couldn't.

i tried to press on software updates but it says "registration failed" .

when i tried to backup the previous custom on it gives me the same error.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HungrySage:
Hi Everyone,

Whenever I'm on my phone, my screen turns off the moment before its starts vibrating for a phone call, and it takes approximately 6-7 seconds for it to turn back on. This did not happen on stock software, but has been happening since CM12 and still occurs on CM12.1. I don't think its my proximity sensor as this does not happen during a call, only when receiving a call.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevegyds:
I am having the exact same problem. I thought it was the proximity sensor due to the fact that I recently had my broken screen replaced. I can use the volume key mod to end a call but cannot pick up a call. Very discouraging.. :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souljack:
Yes, can confirm on nightly 01052015, but apparently it's a stock issue as well: htt ps://product forums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/nexus/nexus-6/mIRwBP4Hx_Y%5B1-25%5D

Do you have a screen protector on your screen as well? I found out that for me tapping on the proximity sensor wakes up the screen with a bit of luck.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HungrySage:
I do have a screen protector on but its no where close to the sensors/camera. This issue only occurs when I'm in CM12/12.1. I have the double tap screen wake feature turned off. I gotta press the power button twice and wait for a few seconds for it to work.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copy2050:
hi all, i have some questions before buying this phone...

before i start: i have the G2 Mini, some users maybe shame on me because display have poor quality...but, for saying my experience: is a big phone, i like it a lot, have a exelent 8MP camera, sound quality are amazing too, battery life is exelent, with 2/3 days of use!

i have the Z Ultra too, about 2 months but i'm not very satisfied with it: camera was not a big deal, no flash, doesnt have sound quality and other softwares issues!! (in my life i had 3/4 sony's and to say: Sony never do a great job with camera, too much grain, colors are not acurate, i never buy sony again i swear! LG i love yooou!!)

so, i think i will sell it and i am intressed to buy the G3 32GB and 3GB RAM model (D855) but i want to know from you owners of G3:

1st: the screen are too much saturated?

2nd: the halo's around the text's and other things make you guys annoying? (i see a lot of reviews on youtube but maybe 2/3 say that about the screen so, i think is more a personal choise!)

3rd: in daylight, can you see the things on screen well? or to say: sunlight brightness is good or poor?!

4th: What score are you having in Antutu 5.7? with stock rom with or out of bloatware? (because i see a lot of videos in antutu 5.0 give 38k or less but i know antutu rise the score in every update, and with my Sony on Snapdragon 800, stock but without bloatware and other things i get 42k and i want to have around the same with G3 in stock, i dont like custumized rom's too.)

5th: have the speaker doing a good job? i mean, have quality? and with earphones/headphones? any distorcion or bass loss? i'm an audiophile so i like good quality of sound and a great balance with voice and bass!

6th and last: the GPS works fine? i have some troubles with my G2 Mini Snapdragon 400, sometimes find and fix in less than 2 minutes, other times have to wait more than 5/6 minutes! (in my z ultra is in less tha 20 seconds and i have exelent GPS locking and precision!)

Thank U for any response you can do with your experience...and sorry for my bad english! ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPS_93:
Hi, I'm a new G3 user, but I hope my comment helps. From your requirements, you're a user who's very particular in hardware quality.

1. The screen looks just fine to me, I mean its true HD-IPS display we're talking bout and LG does have built in color adjustment feature. Over sharpening value is what user dislike and it can be fixed.

2. UI is not something to worry bout, you always have choices with custom roms or themes.

3. I don't have opinion on screen under day light.

4. Antutu benchmark will be range between 38k to 43k depending on running processes. I have score of 42k.

5. The speaker and earphone are pretty normal (can't be compared to devices like htc m8 of course, but definitely better than Xperia Z Ultra)

6. Based on people's report, Lollipop roms seem to have issue over GPS. Through my little experience of using GPS I find it normal.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draskome:
I am an G2 and G3 owner, so you can sense that I like LG smartphones.

LG G3 is an excellent smart phone in every detail, so here we are commenting on-line reviews that are often concentrated on finding any kind of weak points which are usually unnoticeable in the everyday usage.

Since you are thinking of buying one, you should consider battery consumption and phone size. Battery acts quite well, and it will last a day easy with a moderate use, and consumption on stand-by is unbelievably low. Still, LG G2 was around 20% better with the same capacity battery. Screen can be to much to handle with one hand if your hands are small, but on the other hand you will get a tablet feel with 5.5" screen.

Putting buttons at the back of the phone is the best idea ever :) It is much easier to use it that way, and now I have issues with other phones.

1. The screen definitely isn't over-saturated

2. No issues with holo at all.

3. LG is well known for its screens. They would never put bad screen in their flagship phone. Something like that just doesn't have any sense ;)

4. Haven't tried it.

5. Speaker is just excellent. I can't compare it with HTC phones, but sound is noticeably better then on G2. Regarding quality of sound, it is really good, even for audiophiles. Stock earphones (quadbeat2) are quite well made, with a little bit more extended trebles for my taste. I'm using Sennheiser CX 150 with my G3 also, and they are a little bit better with bass.

6.No issues with GPS here, and also no issues at all with G2

Finally, G3 is an 2014. smartphone, and is still considered to be among the best 2015. phones (3rd place at Androidcentral)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drolgnir:
The others chimed in perfectly! I work outside and the screen works well, especially compared to M7,M8, Motox 1st&2nd.

The over sharpening on the screen may not be an issue for most, or even noticeable to you. But I find it gross, and uncomfortable on the eyes, probably because I have an eye astigmatism. Its easily fixed with a sharpening mod. The imageprep mod deals with root, twrp, and sharpening!

if you're in windows vista you can partition it through the drive manager. just go to the start menu and right click on "computer" and choose "manage" and then choose "disk management". just click on the partition of your memory card whether you are using wm5torage or you have it hooked up through a card reader (separate or camera) and use the app to resize and format the partition. i was able to do this with other removeable storage devices...
