[Q] Need some helps with my Nook HD+ topic

My Nook HD+ usually goes mad. It pops up apps without my control, and then It runs wild. So I decide to turn it to the factory mode. However, I cannot register for my account so I decide to skip that step. Right now, my Nook is in some kind of "test mode" using the "test account" which cannot connect with the internet, and the problem above is not all gone also. When I try to set up another profile, it keeps running but no response.
Anyone gives me some advice about the "pops up" problems and how to turn my Nook HD+ back to the android version.
Please give me step-by-step advice because I am a newbie at this :crying: :crying:

[Q] Thinking of buying a Galaxy Tab S,need some info. topic

Hello folks,the time has come for me to replace my Nexus 7(2012) and i'm thinking of getting a 8.4 inch Tab S.
.Since i'm used to Nexus' unlockable bootloader,and not having a Samsung device since Galaxy II,i'd like some info regarding rooting and generally tampering with this device
.Do you lose your warranty if you root this?Or is there any trick like "triangle away" was back in the S2 days..?
Furthermore,do you think this device is a good choice?In my country i find the 16GB variant around 280 Euros,and i can't seem to find anything remotely good for that price..
Lastly,how does the device perform with custom roms?I really hate Touchwiz UI.. :S
Thanks in advance for the help :D

[Q] listView has unwanted rows in some phones topic

I have created an android program which contains listview. Emulator and my phone (Samsung Galaxy S) shows like;
-see First Attachment (1.png)
But when I open my program in Samsung Note 3, it shows like;
-see Second Attachment (2.png)

It likes 2 empty rows(empty but their colors dark blue) and 1 real list view item. 2 empty rows, 1 real item, 2 empty rows, 1 real item ....

I tried each of item in listview. I removed each one and it does not solve my problem. And some bigger screen phones have same issue. How can i solve it?

[Q] Some set-up help and advice for planned media device. topic

Hi all!
So I am switching my device out soon but I love to have a second handheld so that my load on phones is decreased.
My current S2 is fine and all but I wanted to seek some advice on the following questions:
1. What is a very minimalistic way to run android? I know that CM and stuff exist (having ran it before and currently running PAC-ROM) but can I go more....uhm....clean?
2. What is a way to keep the device clean from stuff that may slow it down? What should I avoid if I intend to use this phone as a portable media device that runs at optimal speeds? Over-clocking?
4. Why is my maths very bad?
3. What is the most stable/ A very stable android version/ROM to run on the device? Every time I search it is only people recommending a ROM that is 'Stable', but I wanted to know what are the most stable for the long run?
5. Is there a ROM dedicated to media support?
6. Any recommendations as to what to do with the device from your perspective?

I would not like to waste any more of your time, but after the Internet failing to give me answers that benefit me I turned here for help.
All Advice welcome.
Device info:
SGSII I9100 International ver.
Running PAC ROM 4.4.4 KitKat Nightly 28th Jan 2015

Too many damn apps.

How to downgrade back? And some shield issues topic

How can i downgrade back? I hate the colors of the new update red sucks and so pink/violet can i downgrade without loosing files?

Iv'e been playing Soul seeker and iron knights on my Xperia Z2, Shield portable and shield tablet.

Any suggestions?

is Lollipop a step backwards... in some ways it is!!! topic

Lollipop seems a little quicker and better battery life.

However it seems to me the developers have changed many things just for the sake of it, and many of those old good things are now worse. Many require a lot more clicks to do the same job.

For example, the pull down status bar quick settings isnt as good and isnt customisable like it used to be. and many features are no longer intuitive to open or access them.

Changing txt size in messaging simply by using volume up or down was convienient.

The camera is not as easy to use. Beforehand the video and the photo button were on the main camera screen so you could instantly select one or the other to quickly take a photo or a video. Now you must swipe the screen and then select the video or the camera option and then when the screen refreshes you can then click the button to start recording to take the photo. That can litterally add 5 seconds to the time it takes to get a video going plus you need to concentrate on the camera screen to get the process correct, so you are late capturing the action and cant watch what was going on with whatever it was you wanted to video or take a shot of.

The camera settings are not as customisable as it used to be either and currently you cant even select to store in the external sd card

Phoning and txting is not as easy or simple as it used to be. Eg, in "recents" you used to be able to swipe right to call a contact and swipe left to text. Now to call you tap on them. then have to tap it again to select to call them. And if you want to text you need to tap on the icon next to the name or number and it opens the contact, then you need to select the message icon to txt them. Friggen stupid!

What else am I missing here??? Im probably being a bit picky... but why make it worse!

[Q] Need some help rooting my HTC One M7 topic

Hello,

in the near future I will try to unlock and root my international HTC One M7. Because I don't have many experiance with rooting (so far I have rooted only one phone (HTC Desire Z) a few years ago) I would apriciate some help and tips.

I have seen some nice video tutorials how to unlock and root HTC M7 on xda website:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/#root

The only problem is that these videos seems quite old and I don't know if procedure is still the same on newer versions of HTC One software? Currently I am running stock Sense software (Android 4.4.3, Sense version 6.0, Software number: 6.09.401.11)

Please tell me if I can follow these video tutorials to root my One even thou I am running newer software and if not which rooting procedure do you recomend for me?

Thanks in advance!

[Q] Going to buy this phone, need some questions answered. topic

I will not be doing any rooting and no customs roms.

Model no - SM-N750

1. How does the perform after all the stock updates to this date? I know touchwiz is laggy but apart from that, does the phone hang while mild multitasking?

2. Heard the phone has overheating issue? (any comments on this)

3. People reporting about the phone restarting on its own, randomly or while charging?

4. How bad is the screen flickering? I think the fix is somewhere in the fourms.

5. Is there all the (note 3) s pen features on (note 3 neo), or is it a cut down thing, like reduced pressure senstivity or something?

[Q] Lock symbol on some apps after performing Clean Up.... topic

Some Screenshots of the new Lollipop release topic

I am loving the looks, I mean the Whitish themes everywhere, that's what I wanted for so long. Just some screenshots in case one want to look how some sections look, for fun, that's all. I am stating some of my views on it too, please share yours too.

However not everything is great, I don't like how they have ruled out the scaling on the options, you might encounter one or two mi****s every now and then. I mean when you tap on option of some app, the OK, Discard etc. options have no box outlining those options, so you don't know where the scaling finishes. They shouldn't have done that. Tapping with fingers (which is and will be mostly done) can't always be precise. I have already miss tapped in some places!

I also don't like how they changed the notification clock font size, the AM/PM font is bigger than the clock itself, weird. The lockscreen clock has also been redone, it now has a slimmer font that KitKat, which I am not a fan of.

And I don't know whether this is a placebo effect or not, but am I the only one who is feeling that the in call loudness (volume) is a little softer than KitKat? Don't know, can't be sure.

The Dialler app now goes full screen, I mean edge to edge, simple change yet looks much much better :)

The Multi-Window mode doesn't have any small U shaped notification any more when enabled at the side of the screen, you just long press the back button to enable or disable it.

The lock screen notifications are directly tap-able and expandable, instead of dragging down and then tapping it to expand it from KitKat.

I guess you guys can use this topic to report bugs, whichever you have found. If this topic seems like a duplicate then remove it immediately.

Have fun.

PS: One more thing, I flashed the Polish version of the ROM on my Arab N9005, 32 GB. I tried to flash the German ROM first, because it had multi CSC but it failed to flash, so keep that in mind, I mean I think the German ROM is meant for 16 GB variants only.

TWRP seems to have some bugs... topic

Not quite sure exactly what's happening, but it's repeatable and noticeable and for anyone less-tech savvy might convince them they're bricked.

It seems to be when a zip comes with an installer (such as Android Revolution) - once the install starts it's fine as long as I touch the screen every few seconds, however if I don't touch it for a while, say when it's loading system files and then continue on with the installer and get to the end - the installer will exit gracefully then I will see the usual "unlock" for TWRP, and before I can hit it the screen will go completely black.

While it's in this state, the phone will not respond to anything. Even a hard reset (power+down) doesn't do a thing. The only way it signifies it's still alive is by running 'adb devices' when plugged into a computer, then adb reboot.

Can I get some feedback about accuracy and overall user satisfaction please? topic

Hello!
My wife wants to get a fitness band like this to track steps, maybe bike, etc. Since she has a Note 4 I thought this one could be nice but reviews are not all that great.
What is the status these day?

Thanks!
