CM10 Official 8/18 NFC Issue

I have the official CM10 nightly from 08/18 and I'm still having issues with enabling NFC. When I check the box to enable it, it simply becomes disable - with the check marked. I've tried the office Samsung TecTile app to read some new TecTiles I have as well as another app from the market call NFC ReTag and neither acknowledge any tags.
NFC is supposed to fixed in this build, and I even receive MMS just fine - at least using Go SMS.- which is not supposed to be fixed, right? I did do a full wipe before installing the nightly and everything else is running perfectly, so I'm wonder if anyone else having this problem with NFC.
Also, I've tried with both the original Samsung battery in my girlfriend phone of same model and a QCell battery with NFC capability in my phone with the same results.

It is a known bug that will get fixed in the future.

Oh, I was under the impression that MMS workaround needed applied every reboot and that NFC was working on the on the 8/18 nightly. Thanks.

Yea every one still having problems maybe tomorrow night!!! I hope I'm ready to play with Google wallet.

Hi guys .. I'm small geek of android .. I got many things crazy with android .. The most amazing one .. Is !!!
I try to use my Xperia P smart tags with my BB bold 9900 and amazingly it appears good .. The astonishing thing is what I figure out that BB support the feature of tracking smart tags where ever it was ..
But android is not .. Or I still can't find it .. If we can develop android to that feature it would be UNBELIEVABLE ... Or can we crack BB map app to get it for android ?

Recommend app for android stick.

I recently got the mk908ii, so far it's been working out great. Very fast. Wi-Fi is very strong, but the antenna seems kind of fragile(accidentally turned it wrong way and heard a crack). Does anyone have recommendations for any new apps I can use?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4

I have had a mk808b for about a week now, these are my must have apps:
-full!screen: for hiding the navigation bar that was there even on "fullscreen" movie playback. I set a pie control for my right upper display corner that now totally replaces the navigation bar. This is actually the most usefull app i found.
-External Keyboard Helper: for starting apps directly with the push of a button on my wireless keyboard (Measy RC12)
-Screen Adjuster: In case you don't want to change the brightness/color settings of your tv
-XBMC (v 13 gotham alpha 1 works quite well for me, if you can live without hardware decoding, the stable v 12.2 (frodo) build would propably be better) + Plugins (1channel, icefilms etc...)
-MX Player: probably better playback of HD content than XBMC

No need to go stable. All nightlies now have libsf support. I can suggest a specific build if necessary.

What build are you using? I tried so many different ones. The first 6 alphas with hwaccel and 2 nightlys from last week, but alpha 1 was the only one where youtube worked. All others showed a network connection error. I just finished downloading the alpha 7 from yesterday. I am going to test it now...

Don't use any of the specific alpha builds, because now ALL nightlies have libsf! I would first try the latest nightly and go from there!
I find that ALL of the XAF builds fail on my MK908. So I gave up on that thread.
Hmm, my MK908 isn't actually plugged in right now and I have to go do some work. But just try the LATEST android nightly build and if that doesn't work ask again and I'll hook up and tell you which build I'm actually using.

Alpha 7 is the latest build. It was released yesterday. Does the youtube addon work in your xbmc?

OK, I just hooked up my MK908... still waiting for my tronsmart airmouse from geekbuying so I haven't been messing with it recently
WTF, why isn't full!screen working? XBMC isn't starting fullscreen for no apparent reason. And I am getting errors I've never seen before from XBMC about "Failed to start commoncache"
Looks like my MK908 has developed some kind of problem while I wasn't using it. That's a real mark of quality hardware.
I don't think I will ever buy another android stick PC at this rate. So far I have tried two rikos and one tronsmart and they are all crap. It's too bad nobody mades any Android PC which is not crap. I guess there's some that are kind of OK but they are more expensive than an AMD nettop! WTF. This is why my MK908 wasn't even plugged in. I sure hope Pi****u supports this chip soon.

Well, I'm not going to be able to give you any useful information, you probably already know that Google is unresponsive to bugs and that XBMC doesn't run very well on Android. I guess I will have to re-flash my MK908. Maybe I'll try just restoring a backup.
What garbage.

That's exactly the porblem i have with all XBMC builds after Alpha 1 (besides the non-functional youtube addon, but i guess thats related because youtube needs the commoncache plugin). But all other plugins work fine, so its not that bad .
If you decide to reflash let me know if it resolves the issue for you.

actually, I didn't even run youtube, although I may have it installed. and last time I turned my stick on I didn't get these errors. I haven't updated XBMC, either. it's been a week since I've used it.

My mk908 is working fine. I can even run power hungry games like asphalt 8 on it. Don't know what kind of issues everyone has having. It's it because of xbmc? I haven't used xbmc yet so I can't tell

[Q] Any word on screen capture/recording apps or any solution for it?

I recently ran into a thread here:
reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1tilcf/any_word_on_screen_capturerecording_apps_or_any
and unfortunately for me, I'm running 4.3 and adb shell didn't seem to recognize screenrecord command. I check the Play Store and all the apps seem to be useless since 4.1 (some updated only to 4.2 maybe) and newer phones since Galaxy S3, Note 2, etc.
So I was wondering if there is any news. Cheers!

Hello there, regarding to your question, there really isnt a "good" capture or recording app for android yet. Most on the google play store are poor and scams. I suggest you do more research. There maybe one.

So you don't know if anyone's developing a decent recording software? I just tried a bit of SCR screen recorder but after one recording, my phone just crashes and it seems that I'm not alone in this looking at the reviews of screen recording apps. I didn't have such a problem when I was using 4.0... What changed?

Probably your phone crashed because of overload or poor ram management (screen recorders use a lot of ram) BTW what do you exactly mean by your phone crashed, did the application crash or the entire phone?

The entire phone, but my phone has problems. I've had a history of bad flashes (GS3 currently running Slim Bean with Cyanogen kernel). However, I've tried with Nexus 7 2013 as well and it's not working too pretty on that either (stock). As mentioned previously, if you look at the reviews in the screen recording apps, they will complain about the apps not working too well on 4.3 and 4.4. Slim Bean is 4.3 at the moment and I just can't wait to use 4.4's ADB screen capture. That would really solve a lot of things and really, no need for apps.

Maybe if your phone still has problems, you may want to flash the stock rom and start from there. (Often, the stock rom is the stablest) One more thing, is recording on your phone very important to you?

I'm not sure if it works on 4.3, so my suggestion might be entirely useless, but a friend of mine uses SCR Screen Recorder for his tutorials. The device we use runs 4.1.2, so like you said, it might not work. Figured I'd throw my .02 in.

I just gave up on custom ROMs and decided to just stick with the stock ROM instead. I'm just going to get rid of the TouchWiz UI. Neither Hyperdrive nor GPE 5.0 worked unfortunately. The GPE ended up with boot loops. Hyperdrive booted, but wifi + phone radio didn't work.
Recording on my phone is okay now, but I'm still looking for a good method for future reference. Well, recording was for my Galaxy S3 and I was trying to make S3 tutorials so it's far too late now. My problem with the ROM is S4, which is also somewhat dated, so recording isn't really necessary for it either. Thanks for asking.

[Q] bluetooth mouse makes phone vibrate

Hello everyone
I just started experiencing a very strange issue in regards to a bluetooth mouse I just started using on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Note II. The mouse works perfectly on the phone, and I'm loving the interface. Just today I opened a google drive document, and immediately noticed that every time I moved the mouse, the phone would vibrate proportionately (i.e. the faster I moved the mouse the harder it would vibrate). I went through all my setttings and turned off all vibration and haptic feedback I could find, including keypress haptic feedback. This had no effect on the problem. Note that this problem ONLY surfaces when viewing google drive documents from the google drive app. All other apps (including other google apps) that I have tried haven't had any problems. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I use google drive quite a bit for school.
Phone specs:
AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100
Android 4.1.2 with CleanROM ACE 4.6.1
Google Drive version 1.2.563.31
Let me know if any other specs would be useful.

Thanks, that might be worth a try. I really do like this rom though, haven't had any issues with it so far. I may wait till Drive is updated again to see if its a bug with the app before I put a new rom on my phone.

Same here using OPO with stock CM11S, never happened before,, just after the last docs update. It's pretty annoying :/

I appreciate this is necro posting, but I am really stuggling with this exact issue. I have a Nexus 9 and a MS Notebook Bluetooth Mouse 5000, which work perfectly together except for in google docs & slides. I have a stock ROM, and it has always done it. What is even more frustrating is I bought my Mum exactly the same model at the same time (allbeit with a different mouse), my mouse works perfectly for her and the mouse I bought her has the same problem on my device.
All this proves to me is that it is my device, and it is nothing to do with the ROM or Android version but I have no idea what is causing it. Problem is I wanted to use this as a laptop replacement and using docs and slides was a big part of that. I have tried clearing the cache and uninstalling updates on the app (I can't uninstall it completly as its a preloaded app in the Nexus 9). If anyone found a solution I would love to hear it. I might try resetting my device to factory settings to see if that cures the issue.

Swiftkey opening slowly (due to RAM problems?)

Hey all,
I'm using swiftkey on my galaxy s6 and sometimes when I press a textbox in an app like whatsapp or hangouts it takes a while before the keyboard pops up. Also, sometimes it has to reload the dictionary after the keyboard opens (this takes just around a second). Are there more people with this problem? I didn't had this on my Xperia Z1. Is this problem RAM related? Because of the aggressive app killing on the s6.
I'd like to hear from you guys!'
greets,
swa100

When I'm opening the keyboard it sometimes says "loading predictions". That's what I mean with "reload the dictionary".

What firmware version are you on? Is it the newest? Because I believe the issue is with the newest Samsung firmware. It has nothing to do with the hardware

as much as this phone lags I think this is an issue with the app. It did the same on my m8 and that phone never lagged with any other app. It was the reason I stopped using Swiftkey and I now prefer Google over it as the swipe text is way better on that

I also switched from Swiftkey to Google because of performance. That was on m7 and I tried again on S6E and, once again, preferred Google Keyboard due to performance. A shame though as Swiftkey used to be so good. Having said all that, perhaps it wouldn't suck so bad if this phone had better ram management.

I have the same issues with SwiftKey. I am running on latest Samsung 5.1.1 firmware. Sometimes everything seems to be fine and sometimes it takes years to pop up. I have no clue why. Already tried to reinstall, clear the app cache, no effect.

Yes I'm on the latest firmware (BOGB). Ram management actually seems a little better then before. But SwiftKey isn't working as it should.

I'm on the latest Dutch firmware (BOGB). That one should be latest.

Can anyone confirm that the same problems occur with the latest beta version of SwiftKey?

I confirm that the bug has appeared with latest firmware. Yes, the new firmware has much better multitasking and ram management but this bug with swiftkey is so annoying.

I've got the same issue since a few days. I have an S6 with stock firmware running (5.1.1) and SwiftKey 5.3.4.67
Any workaround available already?

Same problem here... Let's hope for a quick update from Samsung or SwiftKey...

I am really feeling like bought ****tiest phone. Sucks bad. My nexus 5 Galaxy s3 was better. Always face issue of keyboard. Feels little went backwards

Hey Guys, you're not alone and Swiftkey is notified about the issue but they're not sure if they can solve this problem. Take a look in the forum here: https://vip.swiftkey.com/index.php?/topic/12733-slow-showing-keyboard-on-s6-bug-reported/
But I think the biggest chance of getting this fixed is to inform Samsung about this problem and wait for a fix (if possible). Does anyone know if they are also already informed?

I have the same problem I live. I'm going crazy.. I sent it to the service. Load the software and they sent it back. The problem still continues.

Do you have any news friends?

No news.. I updated the firmware to latest version. Still same problem!
