    Thread Any way to get this goofy looking goof off my main screen?

    I was tired of all the suggested content for subscription services I don't use (i.e. Disney+), so I went with "Apps only mode". But I still get this suggested content. Ok, I can understand that I can't get around it, but this is the ONLY thing it ever shows. I am sick of looking at this idiot...

    Thread Video recording stops for seemingly no reason

    Hi there: I am on the most recent 11 Beta. But on the previous Beta, as well as stock 10, and still now I am having a problem with video recording. It will stop recording for no apparent reason. I video record while I am driving occasionally, like a black box, and the video will repeatedly...

    Thread Wake screen for notifications question

    I have my phone set for screen to wake when a notification comes in. Is there not a way to have the notification appear at intervals until I dismiss? The way it works now is, screen will wake when a notification comes in, and stays on briefly, then goes off...and that's it. Am I to understand...

    Thread On-screen notifications with screen off?

    So, the LED is way too tiny for my aging eyes (also cannot get it to change colours with Lightflow anyway). I am looking for some sort of app that can show a notification on the screen when the screen is off. I don't want the screen to turn on. I just want some sort of icon to show up. I used to...

    Thread New Mate owner - couple of questions

    Hi there: Just got my new phone last night and have been looking for answers to this: Is there a way to increase the size of the font of the status bar items? I can't even read them, they're so small!

    Thread Any way to increase LED notification brightness?

    I mean, it's great that it has an LED. I just find it pretty dim, and when the phone is in my car dock during the day, I really cannot tell when it's flashing when the sun is out. Any way to boost the brightness? (yes, I have the setting set to 100%). Thanks!

    Thread Poweramp-can't change tracks in car unless lockscreen is on

    Hi all: I've always used Poweramp on every phone I've had, and I've always used it with Sync in my car. I just got a N6P, and I found that I couldn't change tracks with my car buttons. I went thru all settings and eventually got it to work, however it necessitates that I set the phone to lock...

    Thread Using Tasker to disable ALL Google Camera sounds

    Anybody have the way to do it? Renaming sound files in /UI works for everything but HDR shots. I followed one guy's instructions in another thread that involved decompiling the apk and replacing a cpl files but that didn't work either. I just switched ROMs. I had it working before, but can't...

    Thread Stock camera - sound on video...and fix?

    I love just about everything about the phone, especially the camera. However, the one thing that drives me crazy is the aggressive/crappy noise suppression on video recordings with stock camera. (i.e. - the so-called 'underwater' effect...after the first 2 secs you'll hear it kick in. If you...

    Thread Video recording p***ing me off

    First of all, the preposterous noise cancellation/popping sound issue makes me insane. Same **** on the N5. Can I ever just once get a phone that can have perfect sound in videos? Please? Anyway, now: what's with the pure dark picture on low light recordings? Why is it that, if I go to...

    Thread Does laser focus work with other camera apps?

    Probably a dumb question. Sorry. I figure it's exclusive to the stock camera app, right? I have the same "popping noise during video recording" problem as others (just as I did with my N5 and GN2). Can't stand it. Stupid noise cancellation gone overboard. However, I've found that using the...

    Thread D803 Rogers lost apn and wifi forgets after update

    So....I was rooted and couldn't get the update via OTA. Had to use the LG Assistant Tool thingy. That worked fine. So now I'm on 4.2.2. The problem: my apn was wiped out. No big deal, I made it up again. But it's not working. Everything is correct; I've done apn settings a million times...

    Thread Optical Image Stabilization & 3rd Party Apps

    So, as we know, the stock camera app is kinda poo-poo. I've been using my old standby, the excellent Snap Camera. (highly recommend). Anyway, can anyone tell me if this touted OIS works with 3rd party camera apps, or is it proprietary to the stock app? Thanks!

    Anyone else have their screen wake up for no reason randomly? Happens at least a couple of times an hour for me - screen wakes up as though I've hit the power key, but I haven't, the phone will just be sitting flat on my desk. No notifications, no nothing. Stock, rooted....no Lightflow, no...

    Thread Popping sound on recorded video

    I have an issue: I've noticed that there is the odd popping sound on every video I take. It isn't a constant pop-pop-pop, but just every so often at random. But it is present on every video I've taken so far. Wondering if anyone else has the same issue? Any suggestions? I am running stock...

    Thread [Q] Question pertaining to caller ID

    I'm on Rogers. Running stock. I noticed something about caller ID on my previous Note with different ROMs: Some ROMs, like CM, will show the caller's name and number, but other ROMs, such as the stock one I'm running now, only show the number (it will show the name if the person is in my...

    Thread REBOOTS on JB Roms

    I experience random reboots once in a while. It's happened on PA, Slim B and C &C. The phone locks up, then flashes that weird off-green color, then reboots. I've not been able to pinpoint anything in particular that I'm doing prior to them occurring. Sometimes I'll have done nothing...have...

    Thread Major CWM Problem!

    So....yesterday I flashed H0wt's JB ROM to check it out. It was great, but at the moment video recording isn't working and that's pretty essential for me, so I went back to my daily rom (Collective's AoCP-CP1). I did the restore in CWM and it was going fine but seemed to get stuck. It was...

    I just came off the CM9 "Unofficial" ROM and am now trying out Team Perfection's "ICS Objection". So far, I have found both to be lovely. One thing that I am missing from the CM9 ROM is the camera app. It's the stock ICS camera (as far as I can tell), whereas the "Objection" ROM has the...
