I am very satisfyed with my new Note 2. I have only one big problem. After three weeks I am not used to use the oroginal Samsung app for dialer, and contacts. Before note I have had more HTC-s and there woa the dialer app much better. Can anybody suggest me some alternative?
On HTC when I want to find for example name Martin, I write 6278 and I see list of all names with Martin. But first is the last called one. I tap on it and the phone si dialing. On Samsung I write 6278 and I see only one name with Martin, but not the last called. It is the first person alphabeticaly. Then I click on triangle, it shows me more names with Martin. Then I search the right one, then I tap on it and then I tap on green phone icon. It takes much mor time.
I have been using dialer one. It works just like the HTC sense dialer.

First of all, let me just say that I love this forum. I learned so much from it and I do appreciate the hard work that everyone does on it and contributions that are made on it.
I am lodging a formal complaint about the forum itself. I know XDA has an Android app of the forum in all it's glory, and it is a great app (could use some improvements, but that's another story) and I do use it constantly.
However, I also have Opera Mini and I have XDA on my speed dial to quickly go to my beloved G1 forum. This morning, I went to XDA through Opera after getting an error code ls2 on the XDA app, and what do I get???? A pop-up nagware box that says that you have a native app.
While that is fine for the first time I go to XDA, it is NOT fine anymore when the box pops up every time I go to a thread. EVERY TIME! If I click OK, I can proceed to the thread I want to read... If I click cancel... oops... Opera freezes and I don't get to go on.
Guys... I like both OK and I have my reasons to keep using the browser and not the app to access these forums. Can you just nag me once or not at all, please?
Thanks.
I've moved the thread to the correct sub-forum, our tech admins don't frequent off topic too often .
I'll ask someone to have a look at this for you.

Sorry about this. It was only supposed to tell you ONCE that there is an app available, not multiple times. We turned off this function for now until we fix it, so you shouldn't see the pop up.
Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate all the hard work.
You may also want to change the title
Sounds like the issue is with Opera, not XDA. Since it works just fine with the stock browser, and even firefox with UAString changed.
Opera may not have the correct cookie information being sent or received.
Hi, the led notify missed calls, sms... for 5 minutes but after that turn itself off, I didn't find any settings to controll the time to stay on, maybe is some file to modify with root explorer to increase the time?

I'm also interested in a solution. Tried some applications like light flow but they did not work on the V.
i get this issue also, but i think this is made in purpose by HTC in terms of saving battery
It must be a simple way to increase the time... maybe some dev. can help us
It is the same for One X. Some dev say it is kernel related to control it and HTC do it that way to save battery.
Yes, but when the battery is under 15% the led is flashing continuously and drain faster :-(

Hi if you need an app to notify you can try No-LED from the market. It is for phones that don't have traditional LEDs and displays icons on-screen to notify you about what kind of notifications you have. Also it supports notifications from all apps on your phone, not just mail, calls and sms.

Hope that helps .
Hi,
before the Update to Version 2.09.207.1, there was the possibility to slide over the HTC Stock Keyboard from letter to letter to select a word (a yellow line was displaying the path). After installing the Update this function seems to be missing.
Is there an option to reactivate it?
Greetings,
ernschd
factory reset may help you...
RE:
Sorry, dude, that function is gone for all the One series. God knows why, though.
Google Swype. Fine keyboard that does as you ask
Please keep all question related threads in Q&A. Thank you.

I just got this weird icon in my task bar (white square with two bent lines in it). I attached a picture. I have checked all programs for icons, nothing is in the drop down, I have gone to the "about me" in settings and checked for an update, none available.
Driving me crazy!
Anyone know what this icon is?
***Nevermind, found it, it was the NFC icon.***

Do a search in the Q&A forum, this same question has been posted six different times over there already.
That's the logo for NFC...

This is ridiculous. Not everyone is an expert in this phone. Get over yourself, and try being helpful instead of just an overall prick.
I get the idea of telling people to search, and that is totally understandable, but responses like this really piss me off. You were a "noob" once too.
OP, this icon indicates NFC is turned on in the software (Near Field Communications) as already indicated by scmlee.
To be more helpful than the post I quoted, you can take a screenshot with the Note 2 much easier than how you did it. Check out this video to how to do screenshots.

Considering the number of threads with that exact title, I'm not so convinced a sticky would even help.

Typing "NFC icon" would have been lot easier to type than your snarky reply.

Perhaps. But guiding people, who managed to find their way to xda, to try and do some research on their own first, like searching or reading thread titles, empowers them to be stronger users. And it cuts back on the 20+ threads with the exact same topic and title.

It's called a statusbar. Taskbars are for Windows.
I kind of have to defend the OP here, as I had the very same question when I got the AT&T variant of the Note2. I'm hardly a newbie, but I've generally avoided the US variants of these phones (and that icon doesn't appear on any of the international firmware releases that I've seen.)
As for searching, what search term would you suggest? Without knowing that it relates to "NFC", there really aren't any good keywords to use that would narrow down the search. The message subject ("weird icon in the upper task bar") doesn't generate anything useful (other than this thread which didn't exist when the OP was made.)
If you get REALLY lucky, you might get just the right combination of keywords to hit a previous thread. For example, "strange icon notification" will hit the Q&A thread I made almost 2 months ago.)
About the ONLY thing I can fault the OP for is that this should have been posted in the device Q&A (and not the device General) section. That, however, is a pretty typical mistake and I've even been guilty of it on occasion.
Take care

Turn off NFC???? Not sure if there is a way to easily remove it permanently if that was what you were asking.

Go to settings under wireless and networks header select more settings and you will get this screen
Select nfc off.
Not sure if that was what you were after but there it is.

So I am a newbie, I've flash before ect with no problems, so I sorta know what I am doing. But what I am rather curious about is GB27. I finally stopped being lazy and updated to it recently so I'm stock nonrooted at the moment. When I was reading the changelog it said it would have googlenow among other things but when I finally finished it has absolutely nothing it said in the change log. Am I missing something here? I still have all the old voice commands ect, but I wanted to try and get svoice anyway but I'm not sure what to do from here other than a custom rom.
i just upgraded mine too... google now from what I am seeing as I have no clue on all this stuff.. it is the blue G icon that says.. Google ....
i had vlingo installed and when holding the search button on my neighbors razor he gets the google now... but i got vlingo. So I went into app manager and found voice something.. went into it and hit disable so now it works for me...:good:
then you have to setup google now. My neighbor loves it.. it txt him if traffic will be on his ride to work and all kinds of stuff...
You long press the home button and you get a "recent apps" window, at bottom are 3 buttons, task mgr, g, and trash. Press the "g" boom Google now. The more you use it, the smarter it gets.
