I know there are few other threads else where like GS3 forum and etc, but is there anyway to keep NFC poll while screen is off to use with tectiles? With the flip cover, it takes 1. open the cover, 2. turn on the screen, and then 3. unlock the screen to switch to different profile using tectiles.
I know it's still quicker than manually switching all the settings, but it'll be a lot more convenient if we can use tectiles while screen is off.
Anyone?

I tried the xposed installed one and it didn't work. I would love that feature too. I tried to flash one from the s3 forums too and it didn't work. I want one either with the screen on and locked or screen off.
Doin' big thangs from my Note Deuce
I had it so I could use nfc with screen on but locked on my gnex I thought that was the best way personally

If I can get it to even do that, I'd be happy. Screen on (but locked) is easy as press of a button, but unlocking with flip cover is sorta inconvenient.

I would like to install a new shield on my screen but I can't tell if the original is removable and what the recommended method of removal would be if it is.

haha.....everyone gets so butt hurt here. I hope this thread gets deleted
If it actually still has the scondary film covering over it then use a wooden or soft plastic tooth pick to slide up under the screen protector and simply remove it. I would wait until you have a replacement before doing this. I've been a PDA user for years and I learned the hard way early on that the first thing you should do is put on the screen protector or you end up with a scratched screen.

Being "productive" is a relative point of view. Many of us consider you starting a new thread with a double post as non-productive.
I am not being a forum cop. I have just as much right to my posts as you do and the community polices itself. Maybe you also missed that in the forum rules. But we can let the mods decide once they see this.
My opinion is that your initial question is a little ridiculous. Is original protector removable? Really?????
If you are referring to the flimsy protective film that ships on the device? It is removable. Otherwise you would need to try and look through the message that is pre-printed on it.
If you mean the protector that is shipped in the box, well that is also removable if you have attached it.
If you mean ANY screen cover, then the answer is still yes. They are all removable.
I hope that is a productive answer for you and you will drop this silly question.

Thanks for your help but, I don't know if there is any "secondary film" on the screen. Of course I'm not talking about any film with writing on it. My question is, Is there a protector installed on the screen that shoud removed before installing the extra spare that is included in the box? I don't want to start digging around without even knowing if there is a removable screen protector there. I guess what I need to do is call HTC and get the answer. Thanks anyway.
Oh yeah, for the forum cops, I started this second post because I wasn't getting any response from the first.

Ever think that you didn't get any answer because the question was so silly?
If you ask the question 100 times does that make it a better question? I don't see any fine print in the forum rules that states if you don't get a reply you should pepper the board with the question until someone answers you. I guess you have become accustomed to getting an immediate answer to any question you have. It must be nice.
Thanks for the award. It just reaffirms my belief in your intelligence and maturity. Have a nice day.
For the record, there is no secondary, tertiary, or other film on the device. Just slap your screen protector on there like all of us do. It really is not a big deal.
For alot of people, just having a Thunderbolt is great without rooting. I got a plain old Thunderbolt but I still need to ask some questions about some stuff.
So are you asking questions or answering question?
Just making a thread for us regular phone users who don't intend to root.

I'm unrooted...I have a question. During the day in the office, my TB screen is clear and bright, however when I walk outdoors...(smoke break), the screen tends to get much darker and almost unreadable. Is there a setting somewhere to solve this?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. If you're not, my apologies. Its just the LCD screen. Take any device out in direct sunlight and viewing the screen is difficult. There aren't any fixes or settings. Sorry.

My intention is to root but I am reading all I can before jumping in an doing it. I am not a geek, so am trying to learn what I can. Where better to learn than on a developer's forum? After reading that Verizon may be coming after the rooters, I am now a little hesitant.

'Cause its where you find the best and brightest. Where else would you wanna be?
For people who know their phone, If you have questions about them or just want to hang out with other people with your phone this is the place to be.
I thought this was the place to ask questions. Sorry. Where should we go instead ???
Linux USB tethering?
Ok, this is my first post, but I have been lurking for a while (eris, now TB).
Has anyone been able to get the HTC built-in "internet connection mode" tethering to work on Linux? Using Ubuntu 10.04, Network Manager recognizes the phone as a modem, but can't connect to anything. Nothing in the browser, can't even ping by IP. I know there is a driver/HTC sync software it uses on windows - is there any way to make this work in Linux? Perhaps using ndiswrapper?
I've googled my fingers off and can't find anything related.

So we see and read about the love affairs with a new toy. Thought I would start a buyer's remorse thread..... (maybe some good deals on used S3's will pop up)
So now that you have it and it has not met your expectations.....What will you do? Back to Note ? SGS II... Wait for iPhone 5 Note II?
This probably will be an empty thread for a long time LOL

Best phone EVER. Nothing to complain about. Solid build quality, awesome screen, speaker is excellent. Love the ripple unlock. S Voice is a little hit and miss and is missing the cheekiness of the iPhone. But overall solid!
Quality phone and I think if Sammy hadn't been brave and recalled pebble blue before release this thread could have been busy but that's the beauty

Well so far that's not encouraging for finding a great deal on a used one soon....LOL

no that was a TW option and only found in GB based roms. ICS has yet to have this option and idk if it ever will unless a dev can add it back in some how
ok so I'll brave it... I am a little disappointed.
S-Voice seems to love working when I'm by myself, but nooooo when someone else is around, it refuses to come to life.
But apart from that, this phone is a beauty.
Just got my SGSIII and noticed that the power and volume buttons are a bit loose. I tried to compare it with the SGS and SGSII, and the buttons on those phones are much more firm/solid. If I shake the device I can actually hear them rattle.

Yes, it should have been in the Q/A forum and yes I did search both General and Q/A forum before I asked the question. I did simply search in Q/A first and then had a quick look at General in case there should be a thread about it in there which is the reason why this post ended up in general and not Q/A where it was original intende to be. Unfortunally I can not move it to Q/A, and I did not feel like making a dobble post in Q/A.
I am very sorry that I ruined your entire life with this mistake. Have a nice day.

nope just clarifying video lockscreen has been around, and sooner or later, there will be an agreement.
I can at least confirm that the video backgrounds in the Galaxy Apps store only appeared after the June update. Never saw them before that on my Note 8.
Looking further, it appears there are three different types of "moving pictures" wallpaper:
- Animated (Still image with some moving objects)
- Motion (Appearance changes when you tilt the phone left & right)
- Video (Plays up to 15 seconds of video on the lock screen).
We've had the Animated and Motion wallpapers since launch (or at least well before now), but the 15 second video wallpapers IS new, and that's the feature that was first seen on the S9.
So, before you "ASSume" the writers of the article didn't know what they were talking about with this feature being new to the Note 8, maybe you might want to try being more polite in your choice of words when you're confused about something; lest it leave you with egg on your face.

Once you have the June update you're good to go. Either search for video wallpapers in the Samsung Theme store, or find a video in your gallery, tap the 3-dot menu, then select "Set As Wallpaper" I believe.
