[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] DrDeathAmericanBadass:
Easy to do

You can connect your phone to your computer screen and use your mouse to remove everything from it and save it on your computer or on a usb drive.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Youdoofus:
The device makes you select it as a USB drive in the GUI. I'd have to try the HDMI output device I have
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mrkhigh:
This phone doesn't support mhl. How do you intend on connecting it to a pc screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
I know this device is old.. its the only one I have right now and have no clue if i'd ever get the money to upgrade.. just curious how many people still check this forum or if i'm one of the only few... :p

Also if you are a typical visitor.. maybe post up so I can get to know this Note II community.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
interesting.. 10 views already and no votes or posts... lol.. :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
i see it has 23 views.. and 2 responses. Great! so there is still some life here. Are any developers still here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
I still use this device for gaming only. I play Underworld Empire via WiFi/mobile hotspot. Have multiple toons in the games :p. It is rooted and running TeamOctos MM weekly build rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkOden:
I use my old Note II as a training device for my 6 year old. The thing is a tank.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
thanks guys for responses! So i'm guessing there aren't anymore developers still working on this phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Not sure if there is any that hangs around this forum. TeamOctos has their rom on their own website, I'm glad they still make weekly builds for this phone. Runs pretty smoothly for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
First Off, thanks for the response!

Second, Yeah i would love to go with a newer weekly build and version of android.. .. but I just really like to have screen options to turn screen off, bring up power menu, and have options for screenshot and screen record. I had forgotten about the power of XPosed Framework ( which R3D utilizes ) and perhaps that could help make OCTos more useful for me..

I also do like some of the touchwiz features that I can use with the S-Pen.. so i'm torn.. LOL :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
I have xposed installed along with TeamOctos, gravity box mm module installed. Since TeamOctos rom have most of the features, I scantily use the gravity box options. Don't wanna break anything lol. I find the s-pen was more a gimmick than anything else. The capacitive buttons don't work with the pen, have to manually press with finger (this was fixed with the Note 3, which I sold). Also there are 3rd party apps that can do just about the same as the Samsung spen apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
yeah i was using that for a little bit.. but I noticed the overall sound volume seemed to be lower... when I went back to 4.4.2 , i could really hear the difference... i'm not sure if that is a AOSP issue or what.. do you notice it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Yes unfortunately it is because of AOSP. I remember having to manually editing a mixer.xml file to increase the volume but still wasn't close to the sound level of TW rom. I got use to the low lvls after a while.

Now I don't use it as my daily driver so sound isn't really an issue anymore. Performance and battery life is what I'm looking for so it's ideal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
Ahh ok thank you. that makes me feel a lot better to know it wasn't just me that noticed it and that it wasn't directly related to my phone or my flash status...

so I guess its not an easy fix or even possible since it wasn't addressed when this phone was still being developed... darn..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
I really don't recall what the reasoning was, if it was due to drivers or software. It can be remedied by editing the sound file, I believe someone has done it with this phone. Do a post search for low sound or mixer.xml on here.

Haha not trying to sell AOSP roms or anything but I find them more useful with their options. Isn't that the main reason people use Android phones, for their customization?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
i'll check it out. thanks!

HA yes.. but i guess for those of us that don't have multiple phones to try out different ROMs and updates :silly: constantly have to find the happy medium between stability, functionality and customization.. Right now i'm gonna stick with TW 4.4.2 (at least on my Note II) since I need to have these things on my phone for me to use it as a daily driver:

1. Stable (won't freeze up / random reboots / random power offs / FC'ers)

2. Camera - Camera must be able to take great photos (at least as good as the physical camera is)

3. Sound - Must have great sounding audio for voice calls / speakerphone / ringtones and for media watching

4. Functional - Must be able to not miss calls / notifications or messages and connect to data for internet

5. Battery - Battery must be decent to good.. want it to be able to last at least 1 day of medium to heavy use..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
Hey.. I just flashed back to OCTos, but i can't find the Mixer_paths.xml in the System/ETC folder... can you help?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
You are correct there. I could not find it either myself. I wonder if TeamOctos even included it in their build for this phone. I checked with another phone of mine (LG G3) thats running the same ROM. It has the mixer_paths.xml in the folder system/ETC. May have to contact them to find out why... Sorry, like I've mentioned, I don't use my Note II as a daily driver so haven't had the need to increase the sound levels. I wonder if its possible to just copy the file from another ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
yeah i thought about that but nervous with all that modifications either messing something up or not even getting it as loud as TW..

right now i think ill stay with a 4.4.2 rom and use xposed to get the features i like. do wish i had 6.0 but have to be happy with what i got. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful. Hope things will look up for you and that you may be able to afford a newer phone. This years phone releases haven't been all the great, maybe next year will see some really great improvements. The biggest thing is the battery life in most cell phones nowadays (unless you have removable option). Manufacturers will never give you a better battery/longer life because they want consumers to keep buying newer phones. Batteries usually only have a lifetime of about ~1.5 years, the more you charge, the less it will hold a charge. Forces people to buy new phones :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
yeah true.. and for me its difficult because i'm fairly picky with what I want in the phone... seems like i haven't actually found a "perfect" one yet... several will have 80 to 90% but some will be missing 1 major thing i want.. and then i have to decide how important that is... So far from all the phones i had.. I think my Nexus 5 would probably me my all time favorite... of course I would have preferred an AMOLED display, front facing speakers and better cameras... but again.. had to pick and choose... the HTC 10 was amazing as well.. but I did have some issues with my LTE signal dropping.. so not sure if it was a fluke or because of my Total Wireless service? maybe the ROM.. idk.. LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Hmm favorite all time, may have to go with my Note 3 til I sold it. Had it with Verizon, unfortunately the bootloader was locked and when I updated to Jasmine rom, screwed up and lost root. It was a great phone, s pen is so useful, removable battery, amoled display, SD card slot. Camera was alright, my V10 excels in that department! I'm with T-mobile now, service is great for where I need it and their phones are mostly bootloader unlocked. Can easily root them.

Watching Floss Carter on YouTube, with his review of HTC 10. His biggest negative factor is that the phone is too small for him. Everything else is good, he even mentions that HTC should've made two options like HTC 10 and 10+.

His top 5 phones:

1: Note 5

2: Nexus 6p

3: iPhone 6s+

4: S7 edge

5: LG G5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
I thought a 5.2" was a perfect size.. it was a little more Tall than Wide.. but i got use to it fairly quickly.

============

His top 5 phones:

1: Note 5 ( haven't seen many reviews on this phone)

2: Nexus 6p (from what I hear, this is a great phone that a LOT of phone guys use.. seems to be a great overall package. (just wish it had SD Support)

3: iPhone 6s+ ( this does seem to be a good phone, but can't get past the operating system :silly: )

4: S7 edge (this probably would have been other one of my choices, i think it is the best phone right now.. but i don't think it is rootable / unlocked bootloader possible)

5: LG G5 ( this surprised me, i heard a lot of negative reviews or a lot said the phone was average at best, couldn't compete with others on this list)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
well.. i'm still on my Note II... good phone.. just ready to have something newer... good thing is Nova Launcher does make it feel and look like new android.. :thumbsup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimbop98:
I am on a Pixel now and miss the size of my Note 2. Going from a 5.7 inch screen to a 5 inch feels like a downgrade even though the hardware is so much better. I still use my Note 2 on a daily basis for use on apps to use less battery time on my Pixel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
oh got ya. So you didn't go with the Pixel XL ? I like the pixel but just not able to pay the cost plus i really like expandable storage... Did you get the Camera Halo update yet? did it fix it?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] The:Dude:
Still lurking about!

*waves to the few remaining Note 2 users*

Hey guys, I'm still here too.. I check the forum a couple times a week probably, just to see if there's any new activity.. Still cranking away on old beastie here.. It's not activated with any account at Verizon so it's just a Wi-Fi device for me.

As far as updates go, you're lucky! Mine is stuck on 4.3 with a locked bootloader so all the groovy new bells and whistles aren't for me lol.. I do agree about Nova launcher though, I've tried several and I like that one the best!

Sadly I'm going to have to retire Beast soon though.. The dog wrapped his leash around my leg and tripped me into the corner of the car, cracking the glass.. The "impact resistant" screen protector did nothing! It's still usable though, so I'm saving up for a new device, just not in any rush.. Gotta do more research first, but at the moment I'm actually leaning toward just moving up to the Note 3 on Sprint. My wife has a Note 5 through Sprint, which we have the Wi-Fi hotspot unlocked on. one thing I don't like about the newer phones is no data when you're on a call, which is why I'm thinking about the Note 3(pre-spark version)

Anyway, since I'm looking down the barrel on this phone, I've started tinkering with things.. Trying different ad blockers, host files, simple things like that.. Still haven't found the magic mixture though lmao.. I'm thinking once I do upgrade I'll keep this guy around and try my hand at learning how to theme apps just for fun..

BTW, I'm running the Alliance ROM build 26, Android 4.3 with safestrap recovery, and Xposed with several modules.

Cheers everybody, and happy holidays!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
** WAVES BACK with BIG SMILE **

lol.. yeah I am glad i have the most current stock ROM for this phone.. but honestly i had almost chalked it up to bricked beyond repair.. so I am still thrilled it came back..

Oh man.. yeah I'm always afraid of that accidental drop that will do something like that!

Interesting.. I was looking around at the Note 4 (still able to be unlocked and rooted).. but I wasn't aware that some now do not allow data while on call.. I do remember my HTC 10 was like that and I thought it was just a Verizon thing..

I keep thinking about the Safestrap method.. but nervous about getting back into the flashing rom business since I almost lost my Note 2.. I do still have my S3 I could fall back on.. but I'm not sure I could go back to a 5" screen.. LOL

Merry Christmas and HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
Cracked the glass on my Clark which rendered it inoperable yesterday. Broke the motherboard's big ribbon cable connection while trying to swap in a less broken LCD.

So I'm back until I get a new phone.

I'd forgotten how horrific the screen on lag is.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimbop98:
It would be awesome but kinda doubtful because with how old this device is, all the devs have moved on to new and better. If it does come to our device, I will load it up immediately. I still use my Note 2 as a secondary device almost every day and would like to continue to play around with new roms if I can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
yeah.. i'm surprised that the S3 forum is still up and running and I believe has 7.0 as well... the Note 2 came out after the S3.. so not sure why our DEVs have all left... :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] The:Dude:
Mostly because of the locked down bootloader on the mj9 firmware issue I think.. There's only so much they can do with it, so once they hit the wall they just left..

But I know other versions of the note 2 firmware don't have that problem, so those could still be worked on and upgraded..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimbop98:
Problem is there are few people left who still have a Note 2 with unlocked firmware at this point that it is not worth developing for. Mine is still unlocked but I see others still posting here rocking locked devices. Developers are only going to work on devices where there work can be used and appreciated, and unfortunately the Note 2 is not one off these devices anymore. That being said, the phone lifetime lasted a very good amount of time with the added development of all the people who added to it through the years and I thank them for it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
man I wish i was in that boat! but do you know if that is expected to come for the Note 2 ? I don't think I've seen many roms past 4.4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] The:Dude:
Unfortunately I'm now out of the note 2 club.. Mine finally bit the big one a couple nights ago.. After using it for about 6 months with a cracked screen, it finally got tired of the abuse I guess.. I was listening to some Rob Zombie while I was working in the yard, when the album finished, the poor thing tried to reboot for some reason.. Only it got stuck on the initial Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen.. This happened once before and a battery pull with a few minutes rest brought it back to life. No such luck this time.. I'm not sure if it got wet, it was a little humid that night, or if it got too cold and froze up, or if it was just plain done lol..

Funny thing is, I can boot into download mode, but Odin won't detect it, and if I leave it on the logo screen Odin can see it but not do anything with it! I'm flummoxed.. I even had to downgrade to my even older Moto RAZR.. Man this thing is tiny!

So unless a miracle happens, or I manage to hold my mouth right while connecting it, and accidentally hit the right sequence of buttons, I'll be moving on.. Not sure where I'll end up yet, but I've got a friend with an HTC I might grab up on the cheap..

It's been real guys! I was really looking forward to trying the bootloader jumper hack on my n2, but oh well..

See y'all somewhere else!

Still my daily driver!

Although no longer networked this baby works hard while my expensive laptop sits in the corner:p

Rooted so I could eliminate the junk via Titanium Backup but still on stock KitKat. Play Store options/upgrades keep me plenty busy without a custom rom! Just added a wifi sms/voip app although contemplating reactivating this with Tracfone.

I mostly check out XDA when I need help with issues i.e. rooting, a misbehaving launcher, etc. This time trying to figure how to safely install Xposed modules for battery drain without a custom recovery.

So, welcome to the Forum & happy hunting;)

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayankggrwl:
though already posted in the general help thread, I haven't received any reply so starting a new thread.

hey guys first post here so bear with me. Ever since I did the ota update on my ZE551ML of android 6.0 I have been facing problems. Lags, Bugs,hangs everything. So I went into the recovery and wiped data/ factory format. Now that has created a whole set of new problems. Now my phone is stuck on welcome screen(The first screen where you select the languages). There are 3 options there of changing language, emergency call and the next button arrow but unfortunately none of them are working. All three are non responsive but if i press the volume key then the onscreen volume slider comes which is responsive with the touch as well and also If I hold the power key then I can restart and switch off as well so my touch is fine.

I tried adb and fastboot commands to flash different firmware and they all get completed successfully but still when I start the phone, the same screen shows.

Also tried flashing raw firmware using asus flash tool but still the screen is same non responsive.

Please help me on this.

[General Accessories] ynotbme:
How do I upgrade my 8125 so that I can use my windows media player to play my songs over my motorola S9 stereo bluetooth headphones. I already have the upgraded ROM. I only hear my phone calls in my right ear...mono! :confused:
[General Accessories] wmvfan:
i think this is a problem with bluetooth.

you can use a headphone as stereo headphone or

as a headset

Headphone=stereo

headset =mono

because the specrum of bluetooth is to small for 3 cannels (the microphone is a channel, too)
[General Accessories] conyeje2:
Umm, yeah

Last I checked, Motorola S9 headsets only give audio for phone calls through one earphone, so it's not a problem with your bluetooth. I think it mentions it in the manual. That's just the way motorola designed the headset. So you'll get music though both ears, and phone calls through one ear. Trust me though, I tried another headset that gave phone calls and music through both ears, and hearing my mom's voice on blast in both of my ears wasn't cool....

Hi, I accidentally dropped my phone but it was working fine during the day, I put it to charge before going to sleep (as usual), however when I woke up the next day it would stuck on a fastboot screen.
