Hi.
Does the ASUS Padfone 2 have a notification led?
Can you remove the 'Pad Only' tab in the App Drawer?
Would you recommend the Padfone 2 after using it so far? Im looking to get one or a LG Nexus 4 or an HTC One X+.
Thank You.

Same question

For the Padfone2:
Do games (like World of Goo and Osmos) work on the tab in fullscreen?
Is the sound quality with headphones as good as they advertised it to be?
Does it have any WiFi issues (like does it turn off after the phone has been in sleep mode for a couple of minutes and turns back on when you turn the screen on, like on some Sony phones and Cyanogenmod 9)?
Is the bootloader unlockable?
Thanks.

Hi guys,
- There is no notification LED
- I don't thinik it is possible to remove Pad Only Tab in official launcher.
- I like PadFone 2 a lot this far. There are some minor issues which I will cover in depth once review is finished, but no deal breakers. I cant compare to new Nexus, as I didn't try it, but PadFone 2 looks to be in line and better then One X+.
- Still didn't cover gaming on Pad front, but I will update info once I do.
- Really looking forward to test headphone output. If it is on par with VivoTab, it will be more than good.
- WiFi is coming on in few seconds after waking up, so, no there is no issue there.
- Don't know if bootloader is unlockable, can't confirm that. Early guess is that it will be possible to flash, but due Pad/Phone combination it will be difficult to cook good ROM for it.
You are welcome

Thanks for the responses but I didn't really understand this one. I'll explain what problems I'm having on a Sony device (with and without Cyanogenmod) :
I turn WiFi on (mobile data is off). While the screen is on, everything is normal. When I turn the screen off during the next 10-15 minutes I'm able to receive gtalk/gmail or any other content but after that, nothing is coming in anymore. When I turn the screen on again, suddenly all of the mails and notifications start coming in.
It may sound silly. If you could just turn on wifi, turn off mobile data, let your phone be uninterrupted for about 20-30 minutes and then email yourself from the computer to the email linked to your phone and see if your phone notifies you at once. If not, wait 5-10 minutes and turn the screen on and see if the email comes in at that very moment.
Looking forward to that complete review soon. :good:

OK, didn't understand the issue first time. Will try and get back with more info.

Hey,
I'm currently on Samsung Galaxy S (the first one), and I found a really big need of a tablet. So instead of buying a tablet and a phone separately I'm looking forward to a combination of two, like this one.
I'm more interested in performance, I have seen many tablets so far, even some quad core, but so far they were a bit slow (at least for me).
May you show some performance examples in your review? Like opening many apps and then using the phone/tablet?

Could you post the supernote apk from the Padfone 2, so we can test it on the Padfone 1?

It so cool.!!!!!!

If you are looking for combination of phone and tablet you won't find better. As far as I know, beside Padofone 1, there is no other product on the market. This phablet has a lots of RAM and high speed CPU meaning it delivers some high end perfomance in both phone and tablet mode. On the other hand, if you tried some other high end tablet like Samsung Galaxy 10.1 or Asus Prime, it will feel similar when you are juggling between many apps. Despite manufacturers claims tablets are stil far far away from PC in terms of usability.

Can't do that, no root, no access to system files.

Well, it looks like it is normal behavior. WiFi will disconnect when phone goes to deep sleep, ergo you will not be available to receive emails etc... If you want to prevent this, you need to select keep WiFi on during sleep in advanced part of WiFi settings. If this option is enabled,everything works as you would like, instant email notification for example.

Good! The problem with my devices is that even when I turn on that option in advanced settings, it still disconnected during deep sleep. Glad to see Asus did things well.

GPS LOCK
Hey
Thank you very much for taking questions.
How quickly does the padphone get GPS lock?
I'm asking as I use the GPS (Google navigation) multiple times every day.

New AT&T Atrix 2 User.

Hi! I just bought yesterday an Unlocked Atrix 2 from AT&T, it came with Android 2.3.6 (55.13.25.MB865,ATT.en.US) Pure stock, not rooted, brand new.. My question is.. What should i know about this device? Is it Getting an official OTA of ICS soon? I don't want to root it yet, i'd like to receive official ICS Update via OTA, then root and play with it. I'm in argentina, and sometime while surfing the web with 4G i lose network connection and reconnects itself after a few secs, someone has experienced that? The Screen is a little yellowish all over white colours, normal too or what? Thanks A2 Users!

Hi. And, welcome to the community..
It's a good device, but it has a locked bootloader which prevents us from installing truly custom roms or custom kernels. But, as you will notice, the guys around here can do some pretty cool stuff with what limited capabilities we've got. (The unlock you are referring to is the subsidy unlock for different carriers, I assume).
Yes, depending on your definition of soon, the official ICS is coming soon-ish (my guess is august for the at&t us builds). And simply rooting, should have no impact on receiving or installing the official ota update - it's the other stuff you do with root that screws up the install of the ota - but we have ways to fix up your system for the ota..
Never been to Argentina, but I have experienced bad data connections depending where I'm at.
The yellowish color is not normal. At least mine doesn't look yellow. And since yours came stock 2.3.6 (most come 2.3.5 out of the box), and it's sim is unlocked, so it may be refurbished or slightly used.. not sure what causes the yellow.. do you have a screen guard that discolors it?
Hope that helps. Good luck with everything.

I've never noticed a "yellow" tint, but I do have some darkish blotches in the center of where my keyboard would appear that may be from mashing the screen too hard while angry texting crazy girls...

Wow! So many replies in just Minutes.. Thanks a lot, i feel confortable asking here now. First of all its Sim Unlocked, you can use it with any carrier. About "Yellowish" tint all over, is hard to tell when it is noticeable, for example, when you surf in Google Play, while loads the screen of a selected app, you can see the background the yellowish tint is a bit noticeable, also in Wifi settings and others, but colors in photos and everything is perfectly normal.. Probably i'm a bit daltonic or paranoid. I'm happy to know that our phone will have ICS in August, i think the wait will worth, i saw Droid Razr running ICS and, OMG so smooth, so perfect..! The only i complain about is about the stock browser, wich provides a laggy experience -.- but overall performance is good! I like the build quality, its a very good looking phone, looks very professional and feels like a premium phone. Not like the cheap plastics Samsung GS2 i own, it feels like a toy compared to A2! I'm uploading photos of the phone right now.

I agree, it feels like a good quality piece of hardware. Oh, and August was just my guess, the official word from Moto is Quarter 3, which goes until like late September I think.. so who actually knows..
As for browsers, yup, the stock GB browser is horrible in my opinion also.. I'm sticking with Boat Browser - keeps getting updates and getting better. Also, Firefox is available for GB, and for ICS, you can get Chrome (but it's still pretty bare bones - plus the stock ics browser uses chrome parts I believe..). Just try a few out, and you'll find a nice replacement browser...

[Q] Google play services wakelock

Hi guys,
Having an unbelievable issue with wakelocks destroying my battery, but this is a bit different from the usual stuff you hear about, just read on:
I came from an S4, my wife bought a Nexus5 recently and I was already done with my S4, with all of it's bloat and stuff I don't use (only the camera made me stay but eventually I broke..),and on top of that, sice I upgraded my S4 to 4.4.2 it began having battery issues, it would stay awake all the time, making the phone die in ~7 hours.. so after ALLOT of attempts to figure this out, I decided to start fresh, get rid of the S4 and get a nexus5.
To my surprise, as soon as I finished configuring my N5 (unlock, root, bootloader, xposed+gravity box, the usual apps, nothing fancy) it began experiencing the same battery wake lock drain. now, my wife's N5 is absolutely the same as mine, maybe an app here and there are not the same but I'm not running anything unconventional, I have Beautiful widgets, the usual Google stuff, exchange email etc. Google play services is waking up my device every minute, it drops from a fully recharged battery to 90% in an hour and a half. I've had my wife's phone and mine side by side to compare - same os version, same radio etc.same settings in location are active (location reporting and location history), same location accuracy, same google play services vrsion, same settings in google+ and google now, same everything! I disabled location reporting for now to see it this will have any affect, but this is absolutely driving me nus. why do I need to go through this ordeal, when another nexus 5 is experiencing great battery life while everything is enabled, it will sleep all the time if screen is off.

To tell you the truth I'm a bit hesitant in trying these kind of solutions, yes maybe they could make a difference, but I am tired of messing around with everything just to get a decent experience. I need to know why do 2 perfectly identical N5's experience such astronomical battery differences. And that means I have no choice but to start comparing the two (my wife's and mine) side by side with a needle..
You can always just tick them again if ever wanted. And just so you know. I don't get any Google play drain now and everything works fine. All your doing is removing the stupid permissions gms core wants but doesn't actually need
My battery right now. (gonna charge it at 1% lol)

Thanks allot for the info, I'll try it if I see my temporary solution isn't working.. Seems that if I turn off "location reporting" the wakelocks go away, now I need to find what's different between my settings and my wife's settings location wise, it's definitely something that "came" with me before I bought the nexus 5, it's some setting I have deep withing google..

There won't be any difference, Google have just f**ked up basically. My missus's phone without being set like those settings absolutely hammers her battery (like yours) , yet mine shows about 6% use over the day. But with the boxes unticked shows none so i do it anyway. Otherwise all settings are the same from what I can tell. It did my head in too trying to sort hers out

I'ts absolutely driving me nuts.. I've been trying to find out what's the problem for more than a month now, unbelievable.. but I still think it has something to do with something I have connected\set\changed with Google somehow.. with my S4 I've reset, completely wiped, changed roms, and the issue was still there, now moving to another phone, still.. so it has to be something to do with my Google account
Do a backup and wipe all and Start a new Google account to test?
My missus changed absolutely nothing, was literally just one day it decided "hey I'm gonna ass rape your battery from now on" and that was it

I'm having similar issues with Google play services preventing my phone from sleeping. I've tried the suggestions in this thread, I've also give through other threads and tried them, but over the last 3 or 4 days when there was an update to Google search, my battery has suffered massively!
I'm not sure what else I can do
I've tried turning off all location settings, I don't use Google now and I've even set Greenify to hibernate most of the Google stuff. I'm constantly seeing the message Google search has been greenified when I switch my display on

Go to settings > location > google location reporting > TURN OFF "location reporting" (leave location history on). charge it over night and check battery usage after a day's use.

Hey,
I have seen that some parts of the Google account could not be properly synced.
Could this be the battery drain hanging out together (as this is also part of Google Play Service)?
At least the error always occurs with the battery drain.

Everything is possible.. What exactly do you mean by "not properly synced"? My friend is experiencing the same behavior even after disabling location reporting.. Anyway.. This is the Google saga we've all been fighting with for as long as I can remember..
I've also seen Google not syncing properly a couple of times today. Had to manually force it to sync. Might be what's causing the wakelocks. Gonna keep an eye out for it from now on.

Brand new to the Galaxy Note 3

Hi all just a quick thread to say that im new to the Galaxy Note 3 N9005.
I bought it online yesterday only paid £320 for a brand new sim free in a sealed box so got a real bargain.
First impressions are wow, what a beast. So much power. So fast. So much battery life.
In the past i have ported apps for the Galaxy S3 I9300 ( previous device ) and once I have gotten used to this device I will start porting some more apps where possible and where needed.
So hopefully I will be seing you all around the forum.

To get it that cheap, and local, nice. Didn't even think of checking out Gumtree over here (Australia). Looking now.. I probably should have. D: Damn, there's a N9000 going for $400 new. Or 16GB N9005 $465 new. Cry.

Nice price. I got one a smidge more from ebay. Problem is the buggers lie about having things in stock, so I'm waiting at least 10 days before they even post it.

Hey there Avenger!
I wrote a (long) guide on the Note 3 and Android in general on how to get the most out of it, I think it might be of some help to you !!
First things first, the Snapdragon version is much better (4G, faster processor, better battery life).
And the Black colour is better it has leathered-texture, the white still feels plasticky. Besides, white bezels on a black screen look horrid.
Secondly, we've got a really stable 4.3 base, its solid. The 4.4 is good too, but has a few bugs for heaps of people.
Because of that, 4.3 is actually better since stepping up to 4.4 gives you no advantages.
And if you upgrade to 4.4 you CANNOT downgrade back to 4.3, which means you miss out on Alliance ROM by sparky_b, its teh bestest.
Sticking with Samsung/TouchWizz base is better because you get proper drivers for the cameras, radios, and all the stability/endurance. No need to tweak it yourself.
Also you get some exclusive goodies like Samsung Store (freebies), Samsung Dive (Find my iPhone equivalent) and first-party apps like Phone, Contacts, Camera, S Pen which are vastly superior to AOSP ones. And stuff like Auto-launch Action/App when S Pen removed, Palm rejection when the S Pen is removed, Air command shortcut, Take a screen shot, Contextual Menu/Popups when pen hovers over, Alarm when S Pen left behind and finally MULTI-WINDOW function.
So here's what you should do:
1-r00t the device with CF-ROOT (easy) or use Root de la Vega to keep Knox counter on 0x0 (warranty purposes).
2-install a custom Recovery like TeamWin (easy) or use kn0x0ut (keep warranty)
3-backup your efs/system (just in case you might need it later)
4-flash VillainMOD or a Stock ROM (and de-bloat it, if need be).
Step 5: Add some powerful MODs!
Some helpful MODs like Volume Booster, SecMMS, Unlimited MultiWindow, Call Record are there to fix what Samsung broke.
Step 6: Xpose the potential with The Xposed Module
Installing the phenomenal Xposed framework, and these few handy modules are a must (XPrivacy, Adblock, Tinted Status Bar, XBlast Tools, GravityBox, Xposed Additions, etc etc)
Step 7: Contribute back to this community
Buy the dev's a beer, I mean a few bucks is nothing... but it goes a LONG way to motivate devs and help them keep going!
Also buy PRO versions of Apps from The Google Market especially;
SuperSU, Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, 500px, Apex, Kii, SwitchR (I'm sure I missed a couple).
Step 8: Accessorize (my top picks)
- This awesome case
- This awesome screen protector
- This memory card
- This desk/bedroom cradle
- This car cradle
- This car fast-charger
- This Portable Miracast dongle
- This controller to use the Sixaxis App and play games with this mount/diy to place the phone over the controller
- Otherwise, this easier but less advanced solution, The MOGA pocket / PRO controller
Step 9: Gaming!
There's heaps of free and paid Android Games, I won't list any here.
But to get the most out of it you'll need to grab one of those controllers listed above and its associated SIXAXIS App / MOGA App (screen taps mapped to physical buttons on controllers).
These emulators which run fullspeed, with sound, no frameskip, and no problems:
PS One (FPSe)
Nintendo 64 (Mupen64)
Gameboy Advance (VGBA)
SNES (Super GNES)
Sega (iGensNoid)
These other emulators which (aren't finished/smooth) but might be useful:
PSP (PPSSPP)
DS Lite (DraStic)
Dreamcast (Reicast)
Windows 98/DOS (Winulator)
...whew that was a lot of typing and a lot of information, I deserve a Thanks : )
I will give you thanks for that.
And yes eventually i will be rooting and custom recovery ( already download ) plus already got a stock odin firmware.
Phone is fully upgraded to KK and i will be using on stock for a week to truley test this beauty.
Then i will root, custom kernel, maybe a few mods.
I will be keeping the rom as it is so no custom rom as dont want to loose any goodness.
Mine is of course the 4G varient.

You just make my second good day with that post mate. :good: I thought 4.3 rom was bad side on my N9005, guess I was wrong.
I got excellent deal on brand new N9005 sim unlocked and sealed and grab it. I held my friends note 2 and I was really impressed with it since I was thinking it would be too big in my hand so I'll have difficulties handling with it, guess what it was just the opposite, I love it!
My old i9000 did his job pretty well until replacement screen went bad.
Yay mine just arrived.
Turned it on.. the start up jingle got cut off. And then it just did that pulsating logo glow at me for... I don't know... ten minutes.
Since it felt like I was installing Windows on at PC I tried the PC solution; held down power for 10 seconds. That actually worked and it turned off. Turn on again, cut off jingle again, pulsating glow again.
Is this supposed to happen?
If I read the above the first thing I'd ask is "Is it a clone?"
But I'm as sure as can be from appearances that it isn't.

Its not meant to happen.
First use, it should pause for 2 minutes then put you to Samsung's Setup Screen.
Sounds like your unit is either factory defective, used by someone and bricked (fixable?), a dummy unit, or a clone.
There's a thread here, check that and make sure its not a dummy or a clone.
After that contact the seller, and see if you could get a replacement since yours arrived defective.
And if that's not an option, and it is genuine... see if you can use Odin and flash something to it like root/CWM. It could just be that the boot loader is not compatible with the kernel/ROM... so flashing a different kernel/ROM might solve the issue. You can flash a different boot loader, but you really need to be careful with such things.
A factory reset and cache wipe appears to have fixed the problem.
Perhaps it's just because I threw the battery in and tried to use it straight away? Is it normal to expect no proper operation out of the box until it's charged? It was also getting hot in literally zero seconds while doing its pulsatey glowy business.
After the reset, it finally booted to whatever setting screen and promptly died (battery). So now it's charging.
But yeah. Had to factory reset a device fresh out of the box. What the. :|
My only guess is that it just didn't want to behave with the virgin battery and that somehow messed things up. The phone/package looks as legit as legit can be. Stylus tips, seal, branding, the whole shebang.

That's typical behaviour of a dead battery. But in your case I don't know what is the deal.
I didn't know you were able to do a factory reset (from recovery?). I thought you were just stuck in a bootloop.
Anyways, enjoy your new spouse ; )
Is there any chance you could root N9005XXUDMJ7 firmware without tripping knox counter?

[APP] Battery Notification For Active Display - Free

What do you think about the possibility of adding some settings? It is a very elegant app at least it runs beautiful for me on 4.4.4 but was think the possibility of defining percentages to have have the notification change colors and being able to change the battery icon to just a numeric read out as large as will fit inside the lock ring would greatly increase it's usefulness and comfort allowing one to more easily see level at just a glance or maybe even if its just sitting further away on desk or something.
Nice work appreciate it, I'm sure I'm wasting more battery for the time being though since I keep inducing it on purpose lol, if I leave it alone my screen isn't over active at all.

O think since it is hard coded notifications are all we get. Which is really fine for me.. Just wanted a weather one
Sent from my XT1058 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm open to suggestions to make the app better but I want to keep it simple. Active display does not show color notifications. I do have the larger numbers instead of battery icon percent which could be an option. Anyone interested in helping that has some experience pm me and I can make it open source.

I like it.....
But it causes issues with my active display. It flickers on and off really quick. I rebooted, but issue persists. Anyone else having the problem? I'm on the republic wireless moto x.
If nobody else is experiencing the issue, I could make a video with another device. Turning the notification off fixes it immediately...
I can't use it with the flickering, but if that was resolved, I would prefer large numbers as opposed to the icon being used.
Thanks again for your contribution! Let me know if you would like a video...
EDIT: also, as @NWKENT had advised, it also seems to activate much more frequently, and seemingly for no reason when enabled.

Installed new version.
'Flickering' issue seems resolved! :good:
"Large numbers" are not pretty (not sure what I was expecting / or what can be done to make it more aesthetically pleasing though). I switched back to the battery icon because it just 'looks better'.
ISSUE: When pressing the AD button, the stats appear, but incorrectly state that the phone is "Charging", when it is not....
Thanks for your work on this!! I really do like it, and I trust all the 'bugs' will be worked out soon
Forgot to clear data during testing and missed that bug, but if you plug your phone in it gets resolved. Will fix in next update. Also need better resolution icons. If anyone can help with that. Thanks.

You are exactly right about the charging status...plugging it in reset the status and it shows correctly now. Thanks!!
I had a little bit of time to play with it some more today.
Although the "flickering" issue is resolved, I am noticing that it still activates AD -way- too often. I have the phone sitting on a flat surface, not being disturbed. Literally every 5 seconds, AD activates and quickly fades away - I could set a clock by it.
I deactivated the battery notification, and here are observations:
When AD does activate, it stays on the screen for much longer (a few seconds at least...doesn't come on and very quickly go off), and it takes nearly 2 minutes before it comes back on by itself.
I'm wondering if this mod is not allowing the phone to sleep at all? 5 seconds is just way too often for AD to be activating, and I fear my battery life will suffer tremendously so I had to disable it again.
Any suggestions, or any tests I could do to help?

At&t flex2 h950

Just picked up the flex2 from at&t at lunch today. So far its been performing great, at least when comparing to my nexus 5 on 5.1. Did not experience any lag so far like some early reviews suggest. Not sure if the 3gb ram helps here. Will report more on battery later.
Same. Battery life is my only concern. I feel like I won't be able to make it through the day anymore. It's 11:30am (I've been up 3 hours), and I'm at 62%. It's exactly what I predicted would happen in my post a few months ago (Link).
But as far as performance, this thing is rocking.

Screen ghosting: No, burnt images no longer show up like they did on the first gen.
Carrier IQ: This is new to me, however, in the list of packages there is a "LADDM 5.0.1-H95010d". I also just did some research on it. I download 3C Toolbox and it definitely has carrieriq.
No ghosting at all. And the performance has been superb. One thing I noticed though is the screen brightness range being quite limited. Its not bright enough under sunlight and not dim enough at night. Screen in most lighting condition is great and vivid though with some noticeable grainy areas. And smart screen feature is not included (the phone stays awake as the front camera detects your face). Not a deal breaker but nice to have feature.
Battery life is great for me. I started my day at 7am and ended up 65% coming home at 6pm with 1.5hr screen on time. I am a light user with occasional YouTube and play music stream, and some email checking web browsing. Connected to my moto360 all the time. No GPS no Wi-Fi just lte. I know the battery life depends much on personal usage, and for me it is great and I'm going to keep my phone (was thinking about switching to the s6 edge).
One big plus is the quick charge 2.0. Boy it does charge fast, and I think it's the one feature I can't live without moving forward.
That's good to hear. Mine should be delivered in about 12 hours from now and I am sending my nexus 6 back. I am on my 4th warranty replacement , seems moto does not do a very good job refurbishing phones. Looking forward to getting back to lg.

Is it at all possible for someone in this thread to help me in discovering which app I have deleted on accident with the AT&T Variant H950. I am unsure as to exactly why I have no data any longer but I'm sure it is because I have deleted a specific app that is needed in order to access the ATT Data as well as do any kind of call forwarding as well. Perhaps someone here in the thread can post a list of their exact applications so I can find out exactly what it is that I am missing. I have called AT&T about the issue and they are currently investigating the matters but If it is something I can figure out without help I would be much happier without the 90 minutes of wait time. Thank YOU!!
