hey everybody on Chris look you've got questions we've got answers it's a a Q&A episode 24 jun 12 2013 Claudio asks what are some best practices for those who like to experiment with different roms but are put off by having to reset everything just to try out a new one well I'm sorry to say this but one of the best options is to reset everything see the more settings and data and apps you keep the more likely you are to run into trouble that said you're probably safe keeping some photos in a few apps but you want to be careful about transferring settings and especially system type apps nazim says my samsung galaxy s3 used to charge from twenty percent to one hundred percent and around three hours but lately it's taking as long as six hours to charge though sometimes it does still charged quickly why is this happening well it seems like it's either your battery or your charger and you didn't mention any battery issues so i'm thinking it's your charger the easiest way to check is grab another charger and see if your phone charges properly with that if that's not an option maybe try to grab another phone and see if that has trouble charging with your current charger if either of those is the case it's a pretty simple thing to replace your chargement Raoul says the HTC one developer edition has an unlocked bootloader does this mean that it doesn't have a warranty actually that's one of the key points about a developer edition is that you have an unlocked bootloader and you get to keep your warranty best of both worlds to verify this you can check out the phone on HTC's website and you'll see that they have a warranty listed there this week a few people wrote in to ask when is the samsung galaxy note 2 going to be updated to Android 4.2 point2 well we can't say anything for certain but a whole lot of rumors are saying that higher end last gen devices like the galaxy s3 and the note 2 are going to start seeing four point two point two from June onwards so we don't know if that means the next few days or towards the end of june or july but is on the way John asks is there any way for an android phone to recognize the NTFS file system well yes John there is unfortunately it does require you to be rooted assuming you are rooted though all you have to do is go to the google play store and search for paragon well actually the app's name is paragon exfat and TFS and hfs+ but luckily you don't have to say it you just have to type in paragon and there it is adrian says i have a nexus 10 is there an app that can turn my handwritten notes into text well yes it's possible that there are a bunch of other apps that do this but the one I found what's called seven notes with mazak now it'll cost you eight bucks but no routing or anything is required and I've heard that it works perfectly on the Nexus 10 Jacob says my contract ends July first and I'm not sure if I should wait for the note 3 or get whatever the best phablet is at the time basically is the note 3 worth waiting for now that is a tough question to answer mainly because while there are a ton of rumors we don't really know that many concrete details about the note 3 we don't really know what hardware is going to be used but no matter what the specs are going to be killer don't worry about that the more troubling point is we don't really know when it's going to be released some people are saying we might be surprised with it this month some people are saying it might be September some people are saying it might be even later so really it depends on how long you want to wait especially if you don't know how long you might have to wait Jesse says I have a galaxy s3 running a stock's table 4.1 point2 TouchWiz rom I recently flashed an AOSP rom but returned to my current rom afterwards now videos on my phone and youtube occasionally won't play will reflashing the ROM fix this well it sounds like you might not have fully liked your device before you installed the newest rom so in that case yes reflashing would work the next time you reflash just make sure to fully wipe your system partitions and your dalvik cache tamir asks do i need to install the adobe flash player on my galaxy s3 or is it already included and how can i update well first know the flash player isn't included on the galaxy s3 and you're going to have a tougher time than normal installing it because adobe stop supporting flash on android now you can find God's to install it on your phone we've actually linked to one in the article that's down in the description but you're going to have a hard time updating it since adobe stopped supporting it damien says i bought a nexus wireless charger for my droid DNA but it won't charge the battery I get the indication that it's charging but even with the screen off it seems the battery drains faster than the charger charges it what gives well I hate to tell you this damien but when I was looking around I found a few similar reports to yours and it turned out certain people had to actually use their warranty and get a replacement DNA to get one that actually worked with wireless charging now that said there are a couple other things that you could check like for example are you using a case because if you are that could be a problem now from my own personal experience I've never had wireless charging work well and this is across different devices so it's possible that you just have the same luck as me when it comes to wireless charging and that's all the questions we have time for this week folks if you want to know a little more detail we have a written companion to this video android authority calm you can find a link down in the description if you'd like to ask some questions of your own you can find the link to do just that in the description as well now we get a ton of questions each week so there's no way we could ever get to them all but we're going to try so just because you didn't see your question mention
