Hi everyone. I feel like this is right in front of my face but I can't seem to find it. I just switched to T-Mobile and am doing some holiday travel. I noticed some network icons I did not recognize along the way.
Where can I find an icon glossary for every single icon, on T-Mobile for the Nexus 5 and KitKat?
Thanks!

okay. so i've had a t-mobile dash for...like three months.
and i just recently watched a youtube video and updated to 6.1 the keyboard works fine and i like everything.
buuuut.
when i start the phone it doesn't show the t-mobile start up screen anymore.
and when i press the call button instead of it saying "TMOBILE" at the top of my recent calls like it used to, it says "SMARTPHONE" in an ugly dark blue bar.
also, when im in a call with someone its that really ugly dark blue colored screen again.
or if someone calls me, it shows a different screen than it did before, in wm6. it's really plain, and it used to be a nice looking tmobile screen with all the little grey squares.
is there any way i can go back and get all of the old tmobile stuff like that? or am i stuck with the ugly dark blue plain mess?

Either flash back to the original rom or try one of the roms from here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=309 )which may have a different look , but still won't have the tmobile stuff.
Hello,
I hope I've placed this in the right place - if not, please feel free to let me know and I'll post it/move it elsewhere
I've recently upgraded my Nexus S to 2.3.4 (manually, not OTA), and I've noticed a slight problem with the screen. I have a friend who also updated their Nexus S manually to 2.3.4, and appear to be exhibiting the same problems. I wonder if anyone else can confirm if their Nexus S is doing the same thing.
On the device unlock screen, the right-hand edge of the right-hand buttons (3, 6, 8, DEL) is cut off (rather than having a border)
On the left-hand side of the screen (when held in portrait mode) has a slightly green tint to it (not seen in 2.3.3)
When held in landscape mode, the green tint appears on the bottom of the screen
The onscreen keyboard seems less precise - the wrong letters are sometimes typed (despite the fact I'm sure I pressed the right key!)
Just an update - I've spoken to a friend of mine who upgraded his (brand new) Nexus S to 2.3.4 OTA, and he is seeing the same problems that I described.
(He's recently moved from iPhone to Android, and thought the keyboard issue was him just not being used to the Android keyboard)
Have any other people experienced these problems with their Nexus S on 2.3.4?
No prob over here. Could you please post some pics/screenshots? Which nexus s model do u have?

Hi deeren,
I have the Nexus S GT-i9020 (bought and used in the UK, if that helps).
I'll take some pictures tonight (can't screenshot as not rooted, and at work so don't have camera!)
I've attached two images to this post:
lockscreen.jpg - this shows the buttons 'falling' off the edge of the screen
greenbar.jpg - difficult really to demonstrate this, but there is a slight green bar at the top of the picture (it's far more noticeable when looking at the screen in person)
I'm not sure if I can upload video - if I can, I'll try and take a video demonstrating the inaccuracy of the keyboard if that's any help.
Has anyone else come across any of the problems I've mentioned? I haven't had chance yet to re-image my phone and see if the issue re-occurs.
The PIN entry keypad is off-center on my device as well. However, I think it's just that particular screen.
I don't have any color anomalies though.
I didn't notice the keypad being off-centre in 2.3.3, but it may well have been. My main bugbear is the fact that the keyboard accuracy is definitely off in 2.3.4.

Im using 2.3.4 Nexus S I9023 (NOT rooted. all stock)
its not off centered on mine. i have a few questions for you:
1) are you using a third party lockscreen or something? could be that program?
2) are you using a 3rd party browser too?
i tested all my apps and screens and observed the homescreen, theyre all equally aligned. you may want to try to check stock calculator, stock calendar, etc and see if its off centered

Did you set your lockscreen to require a PIN. Because it definitely is off center, and it is a UI design bug on that particular screen. I really think anyone will see this. Nothing on my phone is off center except that one screen.
Menu > Settings > Location and security > Set up lockscreen > PIN
Enter a PIN and confirm it
Turn screen off
Turn screen on
Numbers on right side (3, 6, and 9) will extend all the way to edge of the screen. Numbers on left side (1, 4, and 7) will have border visible between button and edge of the screen.

I've looked around n can't seem to find a way to switch between the two in a flash. I know you can switch cameras by flipping from the top or bottom edge. Just wondering derived g if there's another option than going into menu

Subscribing...one of the annoying things HTC did while, "improving" our experience. Having both camera and video buttons on the same screen is not confusing for me, but the most convenient option.
Hi all,
If the question isn't that clear: Is it possible to let the sidepanel light up when you get a message? sms or whatsapp or whatever? only the sidepanel. And this when the mainscreen is off. so the phone is locked.
At this moment the sidepanel doesn't do anything when something is received. I checked all the settings but nothing happens.
Thanks for all the future reply's
When the screen is off, you can rub the Side Panel like a genie lamp and it will show you any missed notifications. But AFAIK, that's about it...

I found an alternate way to accomplish this. It's not exactly what you want but it comes very close imo.
1. Go to your lock screen settings and turn off all information that can be displayed on your lock screen.
2. Turn off all lock screen effects.
3. Choose swipe to unlock.
4. . Select a pitch black wallpaper of your choice and select it as your lock screen wallpaper.
5. Profit! I set my ringer to silent when i am in a meeting at work. When you receive a text message, the orange edge notification panel lights up and goes out in 3 secs. The main display stays completely blacked out, (except for the nav buttons and notification pull down menu) thanks to your black lock screen wallpaper. This much more discrete, compared to having your entire QHD display light up in all its glory, during times when more stealth is required
I too thought this was going the feature of the phone WITHOUT rubbing the edge panel
guess we either have to wait for a rom that does that or Samsung release something for that cuz that would be so SICK!!
I saw the Korean Note Edge screen lights up when receiving text message, so is this feature for some strange reason removed for US versions? Honestly to a certain point I thought this was one of the main reason to using the edge , not waste battery by reading the text message without turn on the entire device.
any updates?
Does anyone know if this will be available soon? Maybe in the lolipop update? Would love this to come out. Thought it was already on it tbh
I almost made a new thread before coming across this thread. Are there any updates on this? I'm running Lollipop now on my Note Edge but it still doesn't appear as if they have included this feature which leaves me a bit dumbfounded since it would seem like the perfect use for this Edge screen. It kinda does it already when you rub it (which takes quite a long time to load) but it would be nice if it would just light up automatically when you get a SMS, email, Whatsapp, missed call etc.
hi,
I own the flip cover from Samsung and with this when I receive a notification or a call I get only the edge screen power on.

Edge Screen option says

Damn, I already have a flip cover from a third party. I didn't like the Samsung one because the edge screen isn't covered at all (mine has a plastic cut out). Nevertheless, they should still make it possible even without the official flip cover since it can easily be a functionality built into the phone, not the cover.

Thanks, I didn't know that but after checking it, it was already ticked. I hardly ever get any SMS, mostly messages through Whatsapp and Line. What I was talking about though isn't even a preview of the messages, just icons like what you would see on the status bar before you pull it down for the notifications. The Information Stream doesn't display notifications from every app even after I select them in the settings (and even then, you'd have to rub the edge for it to appear) and the Briefing Panel also doesn't show every notification I get (I got a few Facebook messages on the Messenger app in my notifications but according to the Briefing Panel, I had no notifications). Of course, it's not a big deal and I still love my Note Edge, but this is the kind of thing that always made me stay away from Samsung in the past. A lot of potentially useful features let down by poor execution.
Go to the play store and find Augmented SmartWatch Pro and Augmented Edge. These two apps (both by the same dev) together do what you're wanting. The main screen DOES still turn on, but it's a blank grey to black gradient (kinda like the background of the quick glance from the Note 3). I'm hoping a later update gives the option to just make it completely black.

Thanks but the Augmented Edge only shows Google Music controls and the Augmented Smartwatch Pro costs $4. I don't know if I'm being a cheap bastard or not but I feel that's unreasonable considering it should've been a basic functionality. But the fact that it still lights up the main screen albeit with a dark grey/black gradient seems to indicate that it's not as easy to code something like this as I had imagined otherwise he would've just turned on the edge screen alone.

Personally I don't mind paying a little bit for a decently coded app that effectively provides a much needed feature, but I know what you mean.
Also, yes the Augmented Edge app by itself doesn't do much. And Augmented Smartwatch Pro doesn't even provide features relevant to non Wear users on its own, but the two work together and I've definitely enjoyed the benefits (I leave my edge on the desk by my bed so if a notification goes off or anything, I just have to turn my head to look. )

thanks for the tips... I enjoyed the 2 apps
I'm glad I could help. On a related note (pun intended of course) for anyone reading this who may be interested ASP and AE (the apps mentioned above) was JUST updated to support an entirely black main screen while displaying edge notifications.
Hi All,
I've just migrated from an iPhone (i've been iPhone user all the while) to a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. One thing that I miss about the iPhone is that notification screen especially for whatsapp whereby it does not lump all together into one thread and it gives you the option to reply from the lock screen.
I am wondering if there are such ability for Android (I'm quite sure that there is). If so , could you kindly point me to the right direction
