Hi Guys, just thought id post my thoughts on the Leo.
Ive been using mine now for over 2 weeks having come from an N95(and several failed attempts at finding something I liked inbetween including various iphones, N97 etc etc) so to the thoughts.,
The screen for me was a bit tricky as many have said before, I have huge hands, but decided to persevere.
Has to be said that after about a 10 day period typing messages etc became much easier, after 2 weeks it was brilliant, but then came the eureka moment, which it has to be said was'nt good for me, but telling all the same.
After flashing the ROM, the typing experience became similar to a fair proportion of others on here, infuriating!
Now thinking logicly about it, I decided it couldn't be the screen as was fine before, only thing changed was the ROM, so was software, tried a screen align, hmmm, worse still, did it again, slightly better, but still no cigar, went and checked settings and set to how id had it before, no vibrate(seems to fubar typing), keyboard click on, screen click on, correct as you type on, complete words in both XT9 and ABC both on and did screen align again, now zoila, its better than before(after another screen align) no more false inputs although xt9 has to learn my vocab again(annoying) but it really is a revelation.
Now the only thing annoying me is the long sms list issue (although partialy sorted by selecting all messages and going in through WM)
Can I just add, absolutely epic site guys and thanks to all those that spend there own time making the WM experience better for all!!
Noooo! you've got it all wrong. You're supposed to try typing for 5 minutes, throw your toys out the pram and go buy an iPhone.. *then* come on to xda developers and post a nice long rant about how poor the entire phone / windows mobile is (bonus points for expletives and spelling mistakes).
Fixing problems in an intelligent, logical manner? whatever next?!
I just got my HTC HD2 from Royal Mail. Everything seems to be working flawlessly. The screen is just gorgeous and the navigation is really smooth and snappy. The videos online really do not do it justice.
I've just got a few of questions. I heard that Opera does not support flash, is this true? and will this change in the future?
I tried using IE to open youtube but it doesn't seem to play anything. It has the flash 9 logo and that's it. How do I play videos via the web browser?
Also, when I open up IE it says that it connects using my data plan and I may get charged. Does it not work over WiFi?
I'm just uploading files onto it right now but yes, this device has had my jaw on the floor since I opened the packaging. By far the best phone I have ever owned.

Opera doesn't support flash.
Use the You Tube app already on your handset, it works perfectly.
For playing videos within your browser, download the Skyfire browser for free. I don't like the interface and therefore only use it when I have to but it supports flash and you can play videos and surf for porn on it lol.
gamma500. looks like you still need to find the return key (aka as enter key) as this is the only thing missing in your message. Or did you type it on a PC keyboard, and is the return key (aka as enter key) broken?

I don't have the youtube app, where can I find it? I got my phone from T-Mobile UK if that helps. And I thought IE did support flash?

Opera doesn't support flash and IE only has 'flashlite' which isn't suitable for playing video. You will need to download Skyfire but the You Tube app will be in your start menu - press the icon at the top left of the screen or the windows button in the middle at the bottom - then scroll through the icons.

I don't have it pre-installed, is there somewhere I can get it? It's wierd that they didn't include it. Is anybody here on T-Mobile UK who has it pre-installed?
Dont have a HD2 ...yet! But from what I have read Youtube is not included on the T-Mobile handset.
Thanks Christonabike, personally don't see the merit in ranting, seldom effective in sorting issues and htc-hd2, in an effort to be cloggy friendly have inserted a few returns just for you!

Fantastic! Disabling the vibrate response was one of the best things I could do! I can actually type for long periods of time with little errors and the XT9 and ABC is working great now, I didn't realise it could learn... so have been typing in all of my Northern Irish phrases that we use over here!
I'm happy once again, I'm really starting to love this phone; was a bit doubtful at the start and was thinking my N95 8gb looked like a good option to go back to but my faith is growing in this device by the day!
Once again to OP, thanks!
It Just gets better with time Rossimac, which only became apparent after having flashed the ROM and thereby losing two weeks of it.
Ive watched a couple of videos of people using the xoom and ive got a couple of doubts
1. Theres only multitasking for 5 apps? is that list not scrollable?
2. Theres no way to clear all of the notifications with just one tap?
3. To tab from one notification to another u first have to tap away from the notification and tab on the new notification instead of jumping from one notification to another? im talking about the bottom notifications icons
4. Is there a way to make the browser load the sites as desktop versions? using a xoom to visit the web with the mobile version is pretty lame
You sound like an engadget review.
1) You can only select from 5 apps in landscape yes, but all apps multitask just like android. I agree it would be great if it scrolled.
2) Correct
3) Correct
4) You can set the user agent to Desktop, but some sites still detect the browser as android and show the mobile site.
Honestly incredibly minor issues when it comes to all of the other features.

1. All apps can multitask. The list only shows your 5 "most recent" apps. I agree, a scrolling list would be nice.
2. Not yet. You have to clear out each one at a time. I am sure this will be added in an update since I have seen many people complain about it.
3. No idea what you are talking about.
4. Click the link in my signature and scroll to the Browser section for answer.

In portrait mode you can have up to 7 recent. Hopefully they'll make them scrollable in 3.0.1
And show open apps and not recent
Hey,
I bought the MLB At Bat 12 app, in order to watch games with my MLB.tv subscription.
The Note is in the compatible devices list, but I can't see the Video option.
Anyone has faced the same problem? Could it be that MLB only supports the AT&T version of the Note?
Thanks!
Edit:
MLB heard us and the International Note, AKA GT-N7000 is now a fully supported device.
Live games are working great.
Cheers!

There is no live feed during spring training, only radio.

You mean on the app?
'Cause they are streaming 150 Spring Training games. As a matter of fact, I'm watching a Red Sox game on my PS3 right now.
Yes on the app. On opening day the app will update and video will be available.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
spring training videos are available on the streaming option. it works on my galaxy tab 10. however, I same facing the same problem on my note where there is no video icon to click on. I have already contacted MLB.TV. they say they will look into the problem and then get back to me. I suspect that the galaxy note they have on that list is the American version.

mlb on droid
I have a HTC Inspire which I had MLB At Bat 12 installed and it DOES offer games during spring training. I know because I was watching them up until I rooted the phone and installed a custom rom (RCmix), reinstalled mlb at bat 12 and now I do NOT have the video option.
MLB support has been a dead end. They don't even know what I'm talking about.
This is very frustrating, I was really hoping some games when not at home.
I'm having similar issues on both my Asus Transformer and Galaxy SII. Hopefully, as someone mentioned earlier, the video will be available on mobile devices on opening day.
mlb at bat/gummy rom issue
I have been watching spring training games on my paid subscription of mlb at bat on stock rom/rooted droid 4. Since I flashed gummy rom this morning, I get a video error message saying it cannot load the video. I can hear about 3 seconds of announcer audio although the screen is black and then i get the error.
Im assuming its a clash with gummy, but i was wondering if anyone else had this problem, or has a fix to make at bat gummy compatable.
Does at bat video streaming work with other custom roms?
thanks!

PLEASE PRESS THE THANK BUTTON IF THIS HELPS YOU!
YES!! I got this to work last year by editing the build.prop file to make my HTC HD2 running android look like a Nexus S. I even had fun with it so the market reports my phone as an HTC Nexus S.
I downloaded At Bat 12 in Feb. and the spoof still worked.
I just upgraded my phone to an HTC Sensation XE. he video icon was hidden on my new phone because it too is not officially supported.
I edited the build.prop on my new phone similarly and like magic, At Bat 12 shows the video icon now.
Here's how to do it:
0. Go to system settings->applications and clear data for At Bat 12
1. Using an app like Root Explorer, navigate to system->build.prop
2. Make sure you have r/w access and long press build.prop file to open in text editor
3. Scan build.prop file and make:
ro.product.model=Nexus S
(there may be 2 ro.product.model lines that need to be changed
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
NOTE: These are the most important lines to change. If these don't work by themselves you can also make:
---OPTIONAL---
ro.product.brand=HTC_wwe
ro.product.name=yakjuxw
ro.product.device=maguro
4. Save build.prop file and open again to verify that changes were made. If your changes are not there, check that you are in r/w mode and repeat from step 1.
5. restart your phone, open At Bat 12 and reenter your account details.
Let me know if this helps you. If it does not, let the forum know and we can work out the kinks. This method works for sure... no exceptions.
For those of you who think MLB will somehow rescue your video capabilities on opening day..... IF YOU CAN'T STREAM VIDEO DURING SPRING TRAINING, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STREAM VIDEO ON OPENING DAY!! I highly recommend editing your build.prop.

Was having the same issue, until I found this thread - I haven't been able to test it because there are no games playing atm, however I now have the TV/Video icon
Strange issue has popped up...
For some weird reason, Exchange has stopped syncing after modifying my build.prop
I'm going to delete/add the account to see if this fixes my issue, but be weary for those looking for a workaround.
EDIT:
After removing the Exchange account and trying to re-add it, i get a FC. I reverted back to my original build.prop until someone can find a workaround for both - having exchange working + video on MLB.TV

Exactly what lines did you change from the original build.prop that caused the Exchange errors? The MLB spoof can be done with a single line change for the model ID. This spoof has been known to cause issue with a limited number of apps.
Last year, I know some people ket 2-build.props on their phone and shuttled them in and out of the system folder as needed.... this is not the most optimal solution, but can work.
Let us know if you find anymore out on the topic.

I can watch the Tigers - Rays game.
Good news, guys.
MLB heard us, and now the GT-7000N is a supported device.
Already watched a game from my Red Sox yesterday, picture quality is great over Wifi.
Thanks for everyone who contacted them and made this happen.
This might not be a Nexus 4 specific question but it's starting to bother me quite a bit.
A few days ago, I was browsing XDA on the Chrome Beta browser. I might have (not sure) accidentally tapped on an advertisement. It lead me to some URL that was related to adtrack.king that would popup, and then the Play Store would come up to get me to download Candy Crush. I've tried deleting the browsing data in the privacy settings of Chrome, as well as going into settings, then deleting all data from Chrome. It works for a bit but when I try to get back onto XDA, the popup happens again and again it tries to get me to download Candy Crush.
This link from the Google forums is an example of what happens. You can search on the internet and there have been many people complaining about this both on Android and iOS, but I have not been able to find a fix for it.
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/EDJTbPaW5dg
For now it seems it only happens on XDA forums, but from reading up on the internet, it seems it appears with whatever forum that people originally get the issue from (ie. if someone got it from a car forum, it would be whenever they go on the car forum that the popup would occur).
EDIT: OK, I've noticed that it is specifically the page that I first experienced the issue that the popup ad will occur. I first experienced it on my phone when reading the dbrand skins thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095261&page=245) that the popup will occur. I start looking at any other XDA page and it won't happen but it's in that specific thread that it will happen. I'm starting to think this is linked with Chrome along with pages on a forum that a person will view.
EDIT #2: Here's a video of someone on an iPhone that experiences exactly the same thing. Only difference is that I'm on Android, and that it leads me to the Play Store to download the game.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGJhYq95IFo
This is the URL of the popup (DO NOT CLICK IT): http://adtrack.king.com/modules/adtracking/adclicked.jsp?type=ad&st1=hitfox&st2=candycrushsaga&st3=us$st4=&st5=aff_lsr&st6=102917ff4f43ecab466d8a83825d58&link=market://details?id=com.king.candycrushsaga
That popup will occur before Play Store opening up to Candy Crush
Does NO ONE else know what I'm talking about or something? Just throw "adtrack.king" into Google search and there's plenty of hits.
I got the same thing too, and I'm pretty sure I don't click any add while browsing
҉ Envoyé depuis mon Nexus 4 ҉
OK, I see in my initial post I said I accidentally tapped an app and that might have confused you guys, I meant I might have accidentally tapped an advertisement, not an app when browsing XDA. The popup is always to some adtrack.king thing and it leads to the Play Store opening trying to get me to download Candy Crush.

I'll try that out, but I feel like the problem will still be there, it's just blocking. In the sense that I think there's something wrong with the cookies but at least this does prevent the ad.
Has no one else seriously experienced this? I find PLENTY of Google hits but none with a solution for it. No, clearing cookies & browsing history does not fix it.
Open 2nd tab with any adress, close the aftrack-tab and restart your browser.

I have had the same problem on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and this is how I solved it.
On your home page, tap on the symbol of two rectangles in the lower left corner, this will bring up several icons on the left side of the screen.
In my case, I found the Candy Crush icon, I noticed the word "network" beside the CC icon before I deleted it, (this identity may be different on your device) hold finger on icon, and tap "remove from list".
At the bottom left tap "task manager". This will bring up a list, select "downloaded". Find an icon on the right that has the same identity you noticed along with the CC icon before you removed it. When you find it , regardless of what app is associated with it, tap "uninstall".
In my case the app was a game my grandkids downloaded called "Plants vs Zombies".
After following the above, the Candy Crush item was gone when I started my device. This was three days ago and it hasn't occurred again.
Hope this helps.
I get it using aosp browser from this site... Also on my PC using opera, it asks to opena file called 'push' fairly often when opening an xda page
Just use file manager and try to find the ad and delete it or install appbrain ad dectector

stupid ad
i finally got rid of it! it was popping up each time someone would call me on my s3. the popup ad covered up accecpt/ deny with its own interface. tricking users to press on popups answer key which took you straight to candy crush game. luckily i had just pressed back each time it popped up. Today i missed a very important phonecall and i am sick of it! so, 1st i cleared all the data cache, cookies etc.. from all browsers I use . That didnt help.so, I just manually looked for shady apps installed from apks. i uninstalled nearly half of my apps . oh well. anyhow the culprit was a app called "MUZ" i have never used it before didnt even know it was there. as soon as i uninstalled that app popup went away immediately.
hope this helps anyone.
I downloaded OI File Manager and saw a folder named .adc and it had all of the jpg's and videos from the pop ups so I just deleted it from the person's GS3 that had the problem. I need more time to see if it is a long term solution but for now it looks as if it works.
Sent from my TMO GS4 via TapaTalk 2
anybody truly figure this out yet?
Idea
Yeah, I'm having the same problem.
I'm also thinking that we are looking at the problem incorrectly. Candy Crush Saga is just a red herring, the problem is having a link/page able to automatically launch the Play Store in the first place.
So I would submit that we need some way to modify the association to the "market://" protocol in Android itself.
I have this happen at LEAST once a day, and it's always annoying.
Anyone with MIME experience in Linux/Android that can point us at modifying this?
THANKYOU!

Surprisingly dissapointed with browsing speed.
Coming from an LG G2 which was insantaneous in loading pages, my note 4 lags chronically.
This is observed in every browser I've tried.
It should be noted that the pages which the Note 4 loads, have significantly more and larger advertisements.
Symptoms:
1. 2-5 seconds longer in loading pages when compared to the LG G2.
2. Momentary freeze when swipe to scroll.
3. Noticeable jump when scrolling - every time with each swipe.
Has anyone experienced similar issue or able to offer any insight towards resolving?
Your input would be greatly appreciated!

Download the chrome support for samsung at the playstore and then turn off the option in S-voice wherein you can activate it in any screen by saying "hi galaxy"

I can't download it, its gone. Please share the APK if you can!
I have the same issue and reverted to the stock default browser and it seems the smoothest for me. I had the Samsung support apk installed which did help Chrome a bit but still not as good as stock.

I think that the biggest problem is that most web pages are 75% ads, and 25% content that you want.
Web designers are lazy, and they just throw every single ad they can find on there, and they make a mess of things. It is really annoying when you just want to read something and have to go through 14 ads and commercials to read what you went there for.
I think that this is the modern day equivalent of the pop-up. Most have those blocked pretty well, so now all those annoying popups are just integrated into the page itself and it really bogs things down. And I think that in their greedy zeal to force these ads down our throats, they make them less effective because we just learn to tune them out and become numb to them...
If it was an ad or two on a page, I might see it and check it out. WHen it is 9 or 10 I get annoyed and just start flicking past them to get what I want, or I give up and try another page altogether...
It will help a lot if you get rid of the ads. I am using ABP to block all ads easily when in wifi. no need for root.
if you got root adaway is the way to go.

Are you rooted? And have xposed installed? Maybe its in one of those plugins for chrome. Mine is working fantastic. Try clearing cache and dalvik and reboot. If all else fails use another browser

enter this in the chrome bar: chrome://flags
Then look for "Maximum tiles for interest area"
and change to 512. This allocates more ram.
You can play with the other settings there as well and reset incase things get effed up :good:

Already tried, this does not improve the scrolling performance at all, thanks anyway
I tried on the Nexus 5 my friend has it, not much of an improvement, guess its Chrome.

Alright this is the final solutions I have found. If it wont work for you then it's the end of the world...
Option one: 1) install samsung support
2) disable javascript and restart chrome
If you need javascript enabled keep it enabled and make sure samsung support is installed
1) enter chrome://flags
2) look for "Enable Experimental JavaScript" restart and reply here for feedback...
Also don't forget to enable the 512 hack as well
