The amazing moving app drawer! - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Over the past couple of days, the app drawer on my unrooted stock Note 2 had taken to moving about randomly.
I'm not overly concerned about it, but I'm wondering if anyone else had experienced this.
Thus far, I've seen it move to the centre and the second rightmost position.
This morning, I actually watched it swap position when I unlocked my phone.
Regards,
Dave

It would be awesome if we can move it on command though, I want it in the middle.
Is everything still working correctly when it's moved?

Yes, everything still works fine. I wouldn't mind it in the centre all the time either.
Thus far, moving the other shortcuts around tends to snap the app drawer back, but it was weird this morning to see it move because I could swear it was animated (as opposed to simply just flipping position).

BTW turn your friggin wifi off if you're not using it, same goes for BT. Why would you waste your battery?

On this phone, doesnt matter. I no longer worry about cutting any service off and cant kill my battery! This is the way all phones should work! :good:

Thanks for the advice, but no thanks!
Battery life on the Note 2 is frankly epic, even if I leave WiFi and BT on.
I don't go chasing battery life on a device that can easily get me through the day.

Grindr for Android url

Very cool. Thanks!
Installed, went to set up profile, program force-closes every time I click "edit name." As much as I like Grindr, I think I'm going to uninstall this.
[before anyone asks, I did fix permissions and restart the phone.]
J~
is this what i think it is?
If it doesn't force close, it just says there's an error.
Ahaha, just what I needed. Not! Lol I should prob Google a app first before blindly downloading

Yes it is, there a problem sir? :]
I've been running this for a couple of weeks. I have the same bug in that I can't edit any of the free text to add a name, headline etc. Chat and pics seem to work ok though. I have a funny feeling that grindr are trying to censor information about this alpha as nothing seems to show up about it on twitter etc.
Does anyone know - or can anyone find out where the settings are stored for profile - are they on the phone or on the grindr server? If on the phone perhaps a config file could be hacked.
When it doesn't force close, I can't get it to even sign on to their network. I'll have to stick with scruff for now
I have a feeling settings are stored on their server, since they were working on letting you use the same profile on multiple devices.

You know, you could just NOT say anything. Much better for everyone

To the mods that see this, I apologize. I had to.

how do I stop my phone vibrating during phone calls

Using CM7
Every time I make a call, my phone vibrates twice when it connect, and whenever i take it away from my face, and when I disconnect, and sometimes just for fun it seems.
Everyone keeps asking why they hear a duck when I'm talking to them.
it has nothing to do with notifications, and I don't see any settings in the phone settings that have worked, or look like there is any chance of them working.
PLEASE tell me there is a way to make this stop. I don't want to go back to Sense, but I can't take this annoyance any more.
Only thing I can think of is to go into settings>call settings> and uncheck

I had the same issues earlier on in the nightlies. I never could get it to go away until I just did a full wipe and fresh install of the rom.
I guess that's in the cards for me then, since none of the vibrate settings anywhere have any affect on this.
I guess I was/am due for a full wipe, so I'll give that a shot
thanks all

I would suggest the vr superwipe. Its in the dev section. It wipe everything 3 times and you just flash it like a rom or theme.

Can someone explain this to me please ?

Hi guys,
Im still disappointed about my screen and looking to exchange my phone pretty soon. But for now I have other issue.
Tonight I was texting with my phone and my battery was around 60%, then suddenly my phone froze and it got shut-off. I tried to turn it on but nothing happened so I removed the battery and the phone turnes on just fine. Then I notice a ~%30 drop in my battery level as it shows in the picture I have attached. What the hell is this and why mu phone froze ??
I never rooted the phone and it is still lock to Telus.
Thank You in advance.

well according tot he usage tracker, there was some serious usage by the drop on WiFi, Awake and Screen
on the other hand that sudden drop, could mean the battery actually had less charge than the sensor detected, so it readjusted itself
Oh so after the restarted the phone detected the actual charge of the phone ? So thata kinda normal ?
How about the frozen phone ? Has anyone had their T989 phone frozen so far ?
Sent from my SGH-T989D using Tapatalk
I've had mine for almost 2 weeks now (stock, not rooted) and it hasn't frozen/restarted/etc.
Also luckily I have minimal screen issues. I would exchange it and hopefully get a better one, because I really love this phone!
Not sure in your case but
i know some root only required apps allow you to push/continue anyways maybe a force close or something caused a freeze

Facebook showing GPS usage when it's disabled (4.2.1)?

Why does the GPS area in the screenshot show over 90 minutes of usage when I have GPS turned off? Any ideas?

Facebook has been long known to be a poorly coded app (even the newest version) I've stuck to using the browser only because it's so buggy. I'd chalk it up to that...
Turn location off inside settings of app.

The lastest build of their app is by far the worst I have used personally. Someone posted an older build which does not have as many features, but it is way less buggy.
LMK if you want a link.

That's exactly what was happening with my phone. I've been using the app that dschreiber69 provided earlier in this thread, but because Facebook eats so much battery on this phone I haven't been using it much anymore. Furthermore, I haven't been using Facebook much on either my phone or a computer. I'm getting sick of it, same crap every day. Nothing new. Blah.

VR- problem with gyroscope

So i bought a cheap vr headset. I couldnt look around in any app or video. After long investingation, one thread suggested yo see use app, called "wireless IMU". And it shows 0 0 0 next to gyroscope. But in spesifications it shows that this phone has a gyroscope. So after even more surfing through internet, i gave up and came to the most inteligent people on the web. Can anyone help me?

No, i havent, but it shouldn't mean it wouldn't work. It doesn't have the magnetic button, but head tracking should work. And no app show, that gyroscope is working, even thought i can tilt the device and it shows side ways ;_; im out of ideas at this point

Not really sure how this app works but gyroscope is getting numbers for me.
Last resort is always a factory reset or reflash the factory image.

Even after a factory reset and factory image reflashed, it still doesnt show anything... And the thing is, all forums (usually 6p) say the devices doesnt tilt, but mine does...
