[Q] Nexus 7 accident

Hi,
I opened my nexus 7 to readjust the back cover so that it would not creak anymore. In the process, I accidently snapped one of the protruding tiny copper prongs/hooks off. The one closest to the four docking pins on the side of the nexus. It doesn't seem like it connects to anything so I'm not too worried, but is this a problem?
You're screwed

It will make it so you can't use the dock but probably won't effect the actual tablet functions.

I appreciate the answer. Are you completely sure? Not that I'm ever going to use the dock but this still bothers me a little.

The dock is for charging and sound. The pin that broke could be one half of either. Either way its just for dock functions.

If things like a broken pogo pin connector are going to bother you, leave the case closed, leave well alone!

Does anyone use Smart Stay?

I'm on the fence about leaving smart stay on? It only seems to work sometime, and I can't tell whether it is killing my battery or not. Just curious if anyone out there is using it?

I never used it in my Note 2 and immediately disabled it in the Note 3.

I have been keeping it on, but it doesnt work very well for me thus far. If you look away for more than a sec or so and then look back it will still shut the screen off. I havent noticed battery drain though.
I turned off Smart Stay and all the other "Smart" features, they rarely ever work properly. For instance, Smart Stay requires that I stare at the sensor for the screen to stay on. In addition, now that I have a case with a lip on the front of the phone, I think the lip interferes with the sensor and none of the Smart features have worked since.
I use it. It doesn't work 100% of the time but enough to leave it on.
I've used S3, S4, and now Note 3, and I've always enabled it. I never realize how much I've depended on it until I got the Nexus 7, which didn't have this feature. The Nexus 7 would always dim the screen when I'm browsing/reading something. So good job to Samsung. They made a feature that is not only useful, but also transparent.

Same here. The notification "eye" annoys me a bit, but that's bc @beanstown106 roms spoiled me haha
I never used it with my Note 2, honestly never even knew it was there :laugh:
I didn't like the screen dimming all the time, I do read a lot on my phone so have it enabled for that purpose makes it worthwhile to me.

If you're rooted you can disable that "eye"notification using Wanam Xposed.

It does not seem to work for me, probably because I wear glasses. I disabled it after a week and did not notice any difference.

Thanks. Do you know if wanam xposed can change the clock position /color? I don't have much experience with Xposed.

S Pen on multiple devices

l used to be able to use the spen from my Note 10.1(2014) and my note3 interchangeably. Somehow I am no longer able to do this anymore. pretty annoying if you own both devices. Anybody figure out how to enable this again?

My note 3 Stylus works just fine on my Surface Pro..
Not really answering my question though xD
Try taking the stylus out of the note 10 first. I bet they turn the wacom off if the stylus is seated...

Touch screen after unlock

I am having an issue where the touch screen seems to be unresponsive for a short time after unlock. For instance, if I unlock the phone via fingerprint, pattern, or slide the first touch doesn't respond and I have to tap whatever app or item I am trying to use. I'm using Cataclysm ROM with the most recent ElementalX kernel. Maybe it's a ROM/Kernel thing and I should try stock but just wanted to ask here.

It does sound like a ROM/Kernel issue to me. I would suggest NANDROID and test stock.

So I turned on "Show Touches" in developer settings so I could see if my touches were registering and I have discovered that sometimes when I unlock the phone there is a touch dot on the screen like something is registering a touch. When I tap the screen it goes away but doesn't open the app I tapped. It then disappears and taking the app again works. Wonder wth is going on. I do have a screen protector on. Wonder if it is that.

Is the touch spot in the same location every time? I have not actually ever heard of a screen protector doing that, but anything is possible.

Just got my rma device and it's still happening. So it has to be a kernel issue or an app. I'm on the latest stock 6.0.1 security update. Need to find the stock kernel.

Pretty sure I've figured out the cuplrit. Seems as though the double tap to wake gesture for elementalx is causing it. If you touch the screen when locked it holds on to that touch waiting for the second touch. Turned it off and haven't had it since going on two hours.

Looks like it hasn't been completely fixed but it helps. I've only had it happen a few times since then. Still need a fix.

There won't be a fix to double tap to wake. How it behaves, whether it works or has issues, is due to Google's code. Flar2 just enables the option for the user in ElementalX.
Edit: only thing I could suggest is try flar2's Wake gestures app or stick with Sweep2Wake.

Grey Plastic at Top Where IR Was on Older Models

Hey guys, quick question, I know the 10 doesn't have an IR blaster anymore so I'm just curious what the plastic grey part is at the top of the phone is for if it has no IR blaster anymore (it looks like the IR blaster used to look)? Is it purely decorative lol? Thanks!

Hm, I guess that's something HTC has over Samsung!
It's the not-an-IR-blaster.
Anyone else disappointed with the removal of IR blasters from these devices?
The one on the S6 Edge was super powerful. I could bounce it off the wall and turn off the TV on the other side of the room 20 feet away!
And speaking of IR if you point the camera on the 10 at something reflective you will see the IR laser autofocus assist illuminating. It will be in your pictures too! That's kind of disappointing. I have yet to take pictures of some hot metal pipes but I suspect they will have that ominous purple glow telltale sign of lack of IR filter!

Mines like that at work due to signal not reaching into the building. I have Wi-Fi calling enabled so I often wondered if it really tries to keep more than 1X going.
