Note 2 video widget

Just a had a play about with the Note 2 and was happy to see it had a Video Widget:laugh:,not the player but a 100% widget,question is,will we get this as an update when it comes out with JB for us or has anyone,someway or the other,tried it one the Note 1,if so is there a link somewhere to download??
Looked in the forums for similar threads but only found things about the Note video Player,I would like the widget.

Pretty sure this is a question so wrong section. And we dont know what our jb rom will have all it will be is speculation, will it just be a mirror of the note 2 rom or will it be a stripped down version with a few features from note 2 or will it be a total diffrent take on the whole rom. No one knows for certain.

I'm glad this thread has been started tho as it's been my long-term goal to get a good video widget on Android. HTC and Samsung both have versions, but assuming we will not get these on the Note, has anyone ever found any alternatives? I scour the web every three months or so but without success so far

Visit the play store and download Super Video. You can set it as a widget. Also has pop up play function. Works without problems on my Note even full hd video. The best alternative to the build in player.

Should I buy TAB2?

I've been mostly HTC fanboy except disappointment with my HTC Sensation which is quite bad (I also have HTC Flyer and HTC Wildfire and I'm happy with both). Now I'm looking to buy some new 10 inch tablet, would you recommend P5110 as a good choice? Are they not faulty like my HTC sensation? Maybe I should look for some other models? Please let me know do you consider your TAB2 being a good choice, which model and what are the alternatives within similar price? I didn't ask those questions before buying HTC Sensation and I have device that have many faults that are caused by HTC not giving damn about making their product fully reliable I hope that is not the case with TAB2. Please share your opinions whether you satisfied with your purchase , would you recommend and any advice for new to Samsung android products guy. Thanks.

The Tab2 is a good choice but i think the Tab 3 is more potential and its price is good (199 Eur).

If you want good support from xda (more roms and other mods) you can choose tab 2 over tab 3 . coz 10 inch tab 3 has an intel processor so don't expect cynogenmod and other AOSP , so you should stuck in stock rom .
If you care performance and design over support then you can choose tab 3
But the better options in galaxy devices are note 10.1 (expensive) or note 8.0 . coz both have s -pen and and are goodplayers in the case of performance . So you don't miss anything out in these tablets

You can run many hd games really well with tab 2 GT-P5110 because i have it with cyanogenmod 10.2(android 4.3) and with custom kernel which supports gpu overclock but you don't need to so to play without lag. Just remeber that when you have bought(if you buy tab 2) you get custom jelly bean 4.1.2 c custom 4.3 or stock 4.1.2 rom because icecream sandwich is so bad, i had eve downloading problems on many sites with it but it is juat 4.0.4 or 4.0.3 icecream sandwich stock rom. I have had tab 2 for about 4 months and for example (with rom i am using) i can play nfs most wanted and asphault 8 without lag without overclock, and i am sure that too with 4.1.2. Reason why i don't recomend 4.2.2 jelly bean roms is because they haven't so good performance but its just me because i am gamer, but it has good features and so on.

There are probably better choices for the cost, but that said I've ran ICS stock, jellybean stock, cm 10, cm10.1 and cm10.2 on the 7 inch variant and have been very happy with it, my only gripe I've ever had was screen quality, - it's not HD. But that doesn't so me from preferring it over my kindle fire HD.
I am not sure it will be a contender when key lime pie comes out.

I suggest to choose another mark. Samsung will tell you that the device can receive the update but honestly it is a fake. I have a galaxy tab 2 10.1 and in Italy the update to jellybean was for January 2013. Now it is September and I didn't receive any updated. The same for my phone galaxy duos. **** Samsung

Hi. I think your choice also depends on whether you want the tab for games, for reading, watching series or movies, so forth...
I believe nexus 7 is a great choice if you care much about games or you are a developer, however my opinion is that Galaxy line of Tabs have a very good battery life, good developer support, and works fine for everyday use.
Regards!

I like my tab 2 7.0. Really happy with it, little lagging but I mainly use it as ebook reader and with nova prime on it lag is almost non existent. I don't noticed any lag in other games either. Again, lag only on the stock launcher touchwiz (even the s4 has) and some browsing.

Nexus 7 is good device and has very impressive specs on paper but it's not good for real life use. Actually nexus devices are meant for developers and high end users (especially nexus 7) . New nexus 7 is a very defective model on both hardware side and software side..and we can see their real build quality of asus from that device(very poor). If you're considering value for your money then flo (N7) is a no-go
If you want to see the poor build quality of N7 then head to this N7 thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380223

I can compare to Kindle Fire original, N7, Nook HD (Hummingbird CM 10.2), Nook HD+ ((Ovation CM 10.2). The stock, rooted, 2.7 is my favorite
GPS, front/rear camera, MicroSD Card, microphone, hardware keys and IR are important features for me. With MightyText and Magicjack installed, I have what is almost a phone. A 7 inch GPS is a wonderful thing and that is difficult without the External Storage. Downside is weak screen resolution and poor laggy screen with Touchwiz (use Nova Launcher).
If screen resolution is a major factor, the CM ROM Nooks are a great value.

Miracast

Hello all. Hope you are enjoying your N5s. Yesterday I bought a cheap streaming box ( PANASONIC - DMP-MS10EB-K ) with miracast capabilities. Unfortunately I can not get miracast to work.
There are YouTube videos of the device working with the note3 and s4 as well as nexus 7, but no joy for me and my lovely N5.
Has anyone got miracast working? If so what device are you using?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

At which step is it not working for you?
I'm using a Sony Bravia smart TV and worked right away!
Be sure to enable miracast on your phone though, it's under display settings, "Wireless Display" has to be ON.

It is enabled on phone. My phone does see the Panasonic device and starts connecting. The TV screen shows that it is trying to connect also then after about 30 seconds the Panasonic disappears from the list on the phone and then I get unable to connect.

The Panasonic is still not working so I will get different device. Any suggestions?

I have just bought the DMP-MS10EB-K too and I can't get it to work with my Nexus 5. I get the same problem as you describe.
I have my Nexus 7 (2013) in work and I will test it tomorrow but I have seen videos of it working Nexus 7 to DMP-MS10EB-K.
I will post if it works later.

This thing is Rubbish. I tried a Note 2, Galaxy s3, Surface pro and Surface 2. Non work. It just connects for a couple of seconds then disconnects with no picture at all. Really annoying. Would be nice to get a list on this thread as to which devices do work. If any?

I will get my Nexus 7 and XPS12 which I think has miracast and post the results tomorrow. If I have no luck I think I will be taking it back. Its a shame really as its pretty good at dlna and Netflix. There is a video on YouTube with a guy using it with Samsung phones and a Nexus 7.

Think he might be a reseller of some sort. Did you see his review on Amazon, talk about Over the top its ridiculous. Sounds like he is selling them to me. Besides he doesn't show the device on youtube or how he connected. Very suspect. Let us know how you get on cheers.

Well I suppose it is good to know that it is not just me having problems. What to try next?

Only had time to test for 10 minutes. Nexus 7 2013 connected after a couple of attempts. I could flick the menu's around fine with minimal lag and was impressed. I then tried to play some video and the MS10 froze on two occasions and I had to pull the plug to restart it.
I will play around with the settings and test some other devices tomorrow.

I have tried the Rocketfish Miracast Video Receiver using my Nexus 5. I have no problem connect to my old LG HDTV( no CEC support, cannot change the receiver setting). It mirror the games( Asphalt 8, Sonic Racing, Riptide GP2) I played on Nexus 5 with little lagging. Mainly I want to show pictures and family video of my phone to TV, I found it works fine for me.

Hi, I've also tried with my smart tv LG 42lm620s, but without luck.. I see the TV on N5, when I try to connect to TV, on TV I see the loading bar for the connection, but after some time (~20sec) TV outputs an error of "device not compatible" and TV disappears from N5 list.
I sent an email to LG, still waiting for response....

I bought a Panasonic BluRay player with built in Miracast support yesterday and cannot get it to work with my Nexus 5. They 'try to connect' and then it fails with my N5 freezing every time. Adding to my frustration is the fact that my N5 is completely stock with only root & a custom recovery.
Also, it works perfectly with my stock, unrooted Galaxy S 4 & my Nexus 4 running Slimbean. Short of installing Slimkat, which will eventually happen, does anyone have any ideas for getting this working?

Exactly the same here. Note 2, Nexus 5, Surface 2 Pro, all fall on this device. It seems to disconnect from wireless and then goes AWOL like a banana. Waiting for a response from Panasonic as this is clearly an issue with them, not with the Nexus 5.

4k recording on Lollipop

Hey all, I haven't heard much about camera specs in all the excitement about Lollipop and now PA on the G3, I am on CM12 now and loving it but I miss having 4k recording on the camera... Any way to bring this back? Maybe a camera app port? [emoji1]

That is the only reason I went back to a stock based ROM. Love my camera.

I know this is something we can do... We have some great developers here... WINK WINK!... That is the only only thing it is missing. I'm going to try some build.prop edits to see if it will work, but I doubt it.

Agreed, CloudyG3 is great. It's my go to ROM unless I'm on CM12, I had to flash back today because I'm having WiFi issues on CM.

Aosp ROMs always have bad cameras they use googles **** camera

I have had many phones...Nexus, Touchwiz, Sense, and now the G3...it cannot be done.

But the ability to record 4k is in the hardware, right? If it were strictly a software up conversion then yes it would be an issue, but if it is native to the camera hardware it seems like the camera app would just need to have the support for that feature of the sensor...

I sorta think its silly to record in 4k without even having a 4k TV to play it against. I honestly can't justify it, so I'll stick with the pros of having cm12 instead. Fwiw the Google camera isn't all that bad really. If I need pro photos, that's what my Sony nex is for.

But we do all own a phone that plays 4k... And if you down sample to 1080p it retains a lot of sharpness and clarity not possible from strait 1080p recording.

This is the thing right here. I want to be able to record in 4k so that I can downsample/crop/frame a 1080p edit of that footage with amazing clarity and control.
I desperately want to be able to do this on AOSP on the G3, but the going, thus far, is slow.

Recently YouTube brought back 4k playback. Check out the GoPro channel. Sweet stuff. They need an LG G3 channel...

I don't think the quality in stock vs Google camera can ever be matched sadly.

Stock camera is ages ahead of the CM Camera (Googles), there is just no comparison, once you look at the photos on a big screen you notice the lower quality on the Google camera photos., also with CM you will loose:
Laser Focus, 4K video recording and Slow Motion

If your recording in 4k only to convert to 1080 because it looks better it's because your editing software isn't doing it's job. I've tried it both ways and get the same results. And yes unless you're filming for a professional job that will use cinema standards or own a 4k TV recording in 4k just takes up too much space for no reason. I also recommend waiting quite a few years before attempting to get a useless UHD TV.

Thinking of getting a Mate 7

Hey guys I'm Eilidh from Scotland, I'm new to this and generally new to forums and Android as an OS it's self.
I've been an IOS user for 4 years and want to change to android to get a feel for it.
I've been looking at the mate 7 and love the look and the UI but I got some fears about changing.
I got some questions so I'll just listen them here and would appreciate if you guys could help me with a decision
First off, it's running an older version of android, would that be a problem for me?
Also, do you get texts/facebook/ general notifications in the lock screen?
And finally, the music player, I've read and seen in some reviews that whilst in the lock screen and listening to music you click the next song and it goes straight to the stock music, can you give me more info on how to over come that or if you've experienced that
Thanks
EDIT
Also, does anyone know if I would be able to get games like GTA and most apps to move onto a microSD card, I'm thinking 64GB one or 128GB card.

So notifications such as texts will definitely appear in the lock screen like this?

The problem I'm speaking about with the music player is here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/help/disable-stock-music-player-t2944464
It can be found through this fourm and video reviews I've watched when in the lock screen whilst music is playing and you wish to click the arrow to the next song it plays a stock song that comes with the phone apparently.

You can delete all the stock music. I did that since i got the phone.it got deleted when i factory reseted.
I dont listen music on my phone so I dont know if i have that bug.

I think the nexus 6 had dropped to 400 USD some time earlier, if you can get it for that price the nexus 6 is definitely better than mate 7
