Wallpaper issues

Is there a fix for this? Im on gb el29 and whenever i do the ics upgrade or jb the wallpaper can no longer go the long way except for the long way. Is there a mod or something that i can do because i like having the full picture instead of the cutoff pixel look to it...it just looks terrible. Thanks in advance.

Wallpaper wizadrii can set proper size. As well as others. Give that a try.

You're taking about landscape and wallpaper scrolling? That was removed a while ago because Apple claimed it was infringing a patent or some BS.

I know what your talking about but im talking if you have a long picture, you would be able to do it the veritcal way and it would show the full picture. Now on ics it is forced to do the box look and you would on be able to see half of it and its all blown up and everything. Not a huge issue just annoying haha

Switch to a different launcher. GO Launcher EX and Apex both support the vertical wallpaper option.
You can also use Image 2 Wallpaper app from the market. It's a little difficult to use imo just because of the UI but it does the job.

Thumb keyboard problems.

I love this keyboard because of the auto correct feature and the amount of options you can choose. For some reason while I'm typing sometimes it will do double letters and it's at random. Sometimes it will look like this "HHey what aree you doing?" Am I the only one with this issue. Using it on my completely stock AT&T galaxy s3.

I haven't experienced that issue but it will ocasionally say I hit a letter than I didnt
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

It's my favourite keyboard, I use it every day in the past 10 months or so, didn't have this problem either. (Used it on atrix, vivid and hox). Maybe the screen is a little too sensitive?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

There is no way of adjusting the sensitivity of the screen from my understanding. I just am curious if I'm the only one to have this problem or if someone else has experienced it at all doing the same thing. I don't know I'll try not typing so light and see if that makes a difference. If someone has had this problem and they fixed it please let me know how.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Has anyone seen if maybe it's the speed at which you're typing. If I type slow its not so bad. If I start typing faster it starts putting the double letters. Just trying to figure this out. Thanks for the information in advance.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

I have the same issue. I type pretty fast and it always has that double letter issue and even sometimes has double words even though I only enter it once. I decided to stick with the stock ics keyboard from the play store which works great without any typos with my quick typing

I definitely have this issue, and am using 4.6.00.147 version of the app (the most recent I believe) as I don't see any update in the Play Store. I love this keyboard, but this part of it is very frustrating. So much to the point that I went back to the stock AOSP keyboard, but I want this to be fixed.
EDITED: I've reached out to the developer to see if there is any idea on what's causing/how to fix. I will post any updates if I get any that are constructive.

Is there a way to wrap text during Web browsing?

Whenever I'm reading a long text in paragraph format or something on the Web, if I double tap the text it just zooms in, I remember on my old phones the text would automatically adjust in size and wrap so I wouldn't have to keep side scrolling. Any way to enable this on the note 2? Thanks

I wondered the same thing very annoying when browsing. I thought all android phones did it however ive only owned HTC phones for the past 7 years so guess its an HTC thing. Is there an app or something that will enable this feature? Sure is nice when you double tap and the web page resizes so you can read it all and dont have to squint to see the text..

Pretty sure just normal double taps and pinch to zoom are all you got on non htc phones

I'm 100% sure this isn't what the OP is wanting. HTC had text reflow no matter what level of zoom you did on a webpage. Non-HTC phones don't. This setting you are referring to in browser options has never made any difference on my Nexus or my Note 2. All the sites I use already display to fit the screen. I've tested it and I can't see a site where it actually shows the intended effect. Do you have a website example?

My apologies, yes while in browser press menu then scroll down to settings. I hope this is what your looking for.

maybe theres a third party browser thatll emulate this function?

I never found a solution to this problem months ago. When I got my Galaxy Nexus after owning a hero, evo, and Evo 3D... I thought this was a huge problem but I learned to live with it and now I don't think about it

Thanks for this. This helps but as others have said with HTC devices you can zoom in at any distance and it will automatically adjust and wrap the text for you, not just one size in the auto fit.

Dolphin browser works perfect for me does the auto adjust just fine.

I have been using Chrome and it is great on the Note 2.

The thing is. ..All these browsers are fine. I personally prefer the stock browser, but none of them do what the OP asked. Because. .. as has been said, that was an htc feature.

Dolphin Browser does do what the OP asked for. That's why I replied to his post.

Respectfully disagree since I tried Dolphin mini and the regular Dolphin and neither did what he asked. Maybe I'm wrong. The op isn't looking for Auto fitting of text to the initial page. While that may be a good alternative, he wants text reflow no matter what level of zoom, continuously. That is an htc thing

That's what I thought he was asking and that's how Dolphin is working for me. Under 'settings' / 'Web Content', I have 'Auto-fit Pages' turned on and it reflows the text as I zoom in and out. I also have my 'User Agent' set to desktop but I'm not sure that matters. It works for me.
(I just tried it to make sure I'm not crazy and it works perfectly. It will reflow the text to fit my screen regardless of zoom level.)

that definitely looks right. Does that work on the normal xda site? That's what I tried and didn't work for me. That's the site I always use to test..Regular dolphin or mini?
Update: Dude I want that feature back.. I've tried your setting and every setting imaginable on all 3 Dolphin browsers.. I've tried Google...xda...mlbtraderumors.com.. nothing works for me...pm me so we don't bore everyone to death.. am I the only one that can't get this working on Dolphin?

+1. Is it even worth stepping back from jedi 6.1.2? The only thing I can think of is the better battery life of the stock rom over the custom ones if all we are getting is the multi windows software from this.

I've noticed that there are new ink colors for the pen on the lock screen. Also, it feels like haptic feedback is a bit weaker.
Anyone know if we can customize the toggles in the notification window?

Try under display. I see it on clean ROM, and someone said theyd noticed they were rearranged I bet they included that as well.

Don't see anything under display. Bummer I guess

Patching it using ExynosAbuse breaks the camera now, though.

Back Button does not activate multi-window
I am on stock ROM no rooting done at all.
After the update, tried to hold down the back button but will not activate the multi window.
I can only activate it on the notification bar.
Please advise and thank you.

I would make sure under settings that its enabled and if it is then try a reboot and renable the feature as I have two notes one which is stock and works just fine

Iphone style lock screen

Im using the galaxy s2 with jelly bean installed. I want to use pin unlock but is there something more like the iphone, in android unlocking is a bit slower and has to press 'OK'
after pin. And also using camera directly takes more time as the screen is shown rotating and then we have to insert PIN for that. So if I have to use camera very quick inserting PIN takes time..unlik iphone which offers PIN but for shorcut as we slide the screen up we see the camera already hiding beneath. Any help please?

cyanogenmod and aokp rom has this feature,
samsung custom roms may have this too.
i'm using chemeleon rom now and got this feature.

I think that he means that on an iPhone you can have pin lock screen set up and your phone secure but if you want to take a picture you can just show the camera with out unlocking the phone. This has been done by HTC and I don't think it is possible currently

Yeah thats what I mean. I want to use quick camera without unlocking with phone still secured. Unlike ios here its slow to execute it like that
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Suppose I use a ROM like AOKP to get that feature. How do I restore my back files I do using kies which is saved on PC. Because the new rOM does not connect to lies. Help please
And also if Samsung uses kies, what does a Google phone use to back up?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Use titanium backup to back up apps and texts. Everything else should be fine with flashing copy music, photos etc to a computer if you want extra security

If you are rooted, I suggest you flash SuperNexus ROM following the instructions here

Ive tried the aokp build 5 jelly bean 4.2.2. Though there are some changes in it, the main thing was only the lockscreen as features like photosphere was not available. So is it possible to use the official ROM and still get the lockscreen of 4.2.2 as an app?

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Hi.
Creator of LockerPro here. In the last update we added the secure camera from Android 4.2.2 so you can access the camera without having to unlock.
Thanks for your interest for our apps.
