+1 I put a pic 1280x800 i can see it full screen without scrolling and all

is detailed and crystal clear. I am starting to believe the NOTE section

of XDA is haunted by the Whining Demon lol:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Yeah, it's strange. The Note is obviously THE best phone available today, but no other phone has as many complaining about it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abubasim:
That's nothing new. Go to any phone forum and you'll see page after page of complaints. Even Apple's iPhone forums show how many people have problems with their phones. In the end, the only thing that matters is are YOU happy with your phone?

I don't care. Looks stunning toe. I was never good at maths anyway. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Markuzy:
Oh please you will find complaints on forums because people who don't have problems don't usually go to the forums and post.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sharkonland:
Here's my "assumption" regarding the Note's screen after having used it for some time now.

So, the note has a res of 1280x800. in normal RGB form that would be 3,072,000 subpixels from 1,024,000 pixels. However, since its rgbg pentile, its 2,048,000 subpixels from the 1,024,000 pixels. The resolution is still really 1280x800 but the picture quality of that resolution image would be "downgraded".

Alternatively, what resolution would a similar device be if had those same amount of subpixels(2,048,000) but retaining a normal subpixel arrangement. If you try to calculate, it would be almost middle of 1024x600 and 1280x600, meaning about 1024x680.

I was also running some numbers and I seemed to somehow come up with a perceived ppi density of around 255 ppi. Thats with the resolution i provided, and it seems about right. Because, I had the SGSII, and that had a ppi of about 217 and I know for sure the note, even at 5.3 is much sharper. Well, that all i could come up with. Other than that, i love my note. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike_1983:
Hi

Thinking of getting a Galaxy S2, it will probably be simlocked as these are slightly cheaper and can be unlocked for free (?). I was wondering if anyone knew if any of the major UK networks (O2, Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone) have branding on the phones themselves? I heard Orange might have a small logo on the back of the phone? Do they all pretty much have logo branding on bootup, but this can be easily removed by flashing a stock ROM?

Is rooting and unlocking via the app still working/doable?

Also whats the deal with 3 (three) network phones? Can they be unlocked easily and used with any simcard? (I'm going to use giffgaff - 02 network)

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turborider:
dont get it mate whait for SG3 or galaxy note will be out at buymobilephones dot net soon
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mintvilla:
The phone is basically the same as the new flagship android in the galaxy nexus, the only difference is that that phone has a 720p screen (though it uses the pentile matrix system) bar that theres not much difference between the two phones, therefore you should get it, as since its been out 6 months its 450 off contract, while the nexus is 550 off contract.

Yes theres an app to sim unlock it, and yes rooting is very easy, where you can install either a custom rom or a stock rom, whatever floats your boat. So my advice is get the best carrier that is either cheapest, or gives you best service in your area.

I bought mine last week off contract for 450 from phones4U, they all come sim unlocked anyway from there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 666fff:
I got mine on orange, it came with an orange logo little square on the back. And with orange software (unremovable without flashing stock using Odin). I was scared to flash a new and expensive phone, but now I'm happy without ****ty orange maps and orange all over my Internet browser etc.

Also like the other guy said, wait til the galaxy nexus comes out next month-the s2 might drop by a few quid. Galaxy note is way too big IMO.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.nike:
got mine from T-mobile. No logos on the phone (white sg2). Had a few apps from t-mobile but I've rooted quite easily
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike_1983:
I'm stretching my budget with the S2, the S3 will be 2012 and will likely be 500+. I'm looking at around £320 off ebay for a S2. I was going to get an Ace, then S1, then saw that a S2 was only around the £300 mark so decided on getting it.

May wait a while, not sure, but doubt they will get much cheaper than £310?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bbubel:
I am stock unrooted(till my 30 days are up) anyway I have seen a bunch of concerts recently and recorded video using my HTC Inspire, then with my brief time with the LG Thrill, and now with the Galaxy S 2 and while the galaxy s 2 seems to give the best quality recordings it seems while recording it will blur the video for a few seconds like its trying to focus then it will go back to normal it may do this once or twice during a 2-3 minute video yet I never had this problem with my Inspire or LG Thrill just wondering if I am missing some settings or what the deal is?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
Auto Focus

Most likely the other phones do not have the feature of

continuous auto focus during video recordings.

Perhaps one of the devs will include a mod in these custom roms

which can enable or disable the auto focus feature while recording

video clips.

(not many camera phones have auto focus during video recordings)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bbubel:
I guess I don't understand the continuous auto focus, to me that would mean it would auto focus always so I wouldnt get the blur issue. I went through the video recording settings didn't really see anything I could do that would remedy the situation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
Auto-Focus

Continuous auto-focus in i777 SGS2 means that it will

auto-focus as needed automatically while recording video.

So when the foreground or background changes and people

or objects are closer or further from the lens that's when

it will automatically try to auto-focus for optimal results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] runtohell121:
I don't see too much of a problem on my test video but then it's not moving "too fast" like people/motion.. only cars passing by.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRat0Drzu6s
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nicktuso:
This happened to me while at the gun range, kind of anyways. The camera was blurry for the first half of the video like it wasn't even trying to focus, then when it did I guess it didn't go out of focus again. Very odd. Now that I'm on MIUI this doesn't happen, this video is from when it was stock unrooted.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcBAAOPvhv8
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Talonz:
To be honest, on the stock/unrooted version I was running, I was having the exact same difficulties. You would expect that the camera wouldn't have to test its entire focus length before finding one that works and goes back to it.

It's not as noticeable when recording objects far away whose distance isn't changing, but when something passes in front of the camera or you move it to something slightly closer and it loses focus at all, it takes a good 1-2 seconds to refocus. That's a lot of time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bbubel:
I was just thinking, could this be caused by my video recordings running off a 16gb class 4 kingston sd card? If so would I need to up the class or could I just switch my video recordings to go onto the 16gb of internal storage space? I may just switch it to internal and try a video and see if that is part of the problem.

[Vibrant General] scooter421:
Recently flashed Malice v5. Now get message that I have to update swype which requires uninstalling except that under app management there is no option under swype to uninstall. I unistalled the installer and deleted the apk. What else can I do?
[Vibrant General] jneal9:
Got to system/lib/

Delete libSwypeCore.so

Rerun Swype installer.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
you can use titanium backup to uninstall it.

then when you install it through the installer, it will show up in manage apps in settings.
[Vibrant General] scooter421:
Thanks jneal9 but I can not delete the file. I have Astro and File Expert. Neither worked.

Thanks funeralthirst. Was able to uninstall but I still need to delete the .so file

after much searching I found an alternative to root explorer- super manager. was able to delete the .so file

Thanks for the help. I learn something new everyday.
[Vibrant General] kxlling:
Try root explorer, astro can't access the file.
[Vibrant General] jedijos:
I was trying to install the lastest swype beta apk following almost all the steps above (I didn't erased the files, only renamed them) but wasn't successful, is there any other way? I'm using ES Explorer (with Root Explorer option checked)
[Vibrant General] scooter421:
The above mentioned steps worked for me:

-uninstall with Titanium

-delete the libswypecore.so file

I used Super Manager for the root explorer. Search marketplace for this. It's free and Root Explorer is not. In either of them you need to change the permissions of the file from r/o to r/w (read only to read write).
[Vibrant General] jedijos:
The thing with Titanium is that once before i've tried to install a new email app, so I used this Titanium to uninstall it first and when i've run the installer it showed "Application Not Installed" no matter how many times I excuted it, and this totally messed my phone up, I had to odin back to stock!

So, in this case is safe to unistall Swype and the installer apk won't give that error?
[Vibrant General] scooter421:
I make no guarantees but what is mentioned in this thread works. And, as I've learned the hard way, you should make a backup of your phone before flashing anything.

Follow the above steps. Not only remove the AOL but also the file"kinetoscope.so". Use root explorer or super manager to do this.

It seems like it's alot of work but once you have everything you need it goes fast. Searching for the answer is the hardest part.
[Vibrant General] boystuff:
ok 2 things

1. ES File Manager (Root explorer for free on market

2. when you uninstall Swype using Titanium Reboot phone before reinstalling Swype. Same with most applications. Rebooting clears out the temp files that can corrupt a reinstallation.
[Vibrant General] djbeezo:
Hi,

I've only had an android phone for a month or two (Samsung Galaxy S2, 2.3.3 Gingerbread, not rooted)

I have the same problem removing swype with no 'uninstall' option (trying to update to new version). All of these solutions seem to require a rooted droid, is that the case or have I misunderstood?

Can anyone offer a solution that does not involve rooting?

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] jneal9:
If Swype came preinstalled you won't be able to remove it without root.
[Vibrant General] djbeezo:
Thanks for your reply jneal9. Swype did not come pre-installed on my phone, I had to download the beta to be able to use it.

However, after I updated the Swype Installer (so that I could then update Swype itself) it gives the message "Sorry, the Swype Beta is currently unavailable for devices that have Swype preinstalled" (which it definitely did not).

Is this something that anyone has come across before? I'm a bit surprised that it seems like this application (although I do realize that it is a Beta) cannot be uninstalled without rooting the phone!

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] samdroid959:
This also happened to me when i was on malice v5. i tried

everything

to get swype back but to no avail. i switched from that to miui because malice will soft boot while ur on the phone when u have 30% or less battery.
[Vibrant General] murdockr:
I had the same problems and hopefully this will help others: first I had tried to restore Swype from Titanium and got Force Closes. Then, I downloaded a new version of Swype and after deleting the old installed: "Application Did Not Install" then I went to /system/lib and saw that libswypecore.so was NOT there. So after many combinations of the above recommendations, I finally did this: deleted all traces of Swype, rebooted phone, used Root Explorer to change /system/apps to R/W, copied the latest Swype in, ran the install (success), then EXTRACTED the libswypecore.so from the Swype.apk and manually copied to /system/lib and changed the permissions to the recommended settings above. Worked! No Swype alerts me to a new version, I download within Swype, it asks to replace, I say yes, and the installation fails! At least the version I loaded still works.

hey guys,

just want to know if there is any clock like in n8 which glows on screen even when display is turned off??

and one more app,which locks the screen and turns off the display ??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Master619:
For locking and turn off display, try Screen off and lock. No idea for the clock
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] BerryCodes:
Here's how to repair the Enter Unblock Code error message on your HP Pre 3. You will see this screen if you entered too many wrong unlock codes previously into the phone.

Step 1: Run the free unlock test on your HP Pre 3 using Pre 3 Unlocker Tool (PalmUnlocker version)

Step 2: If the tool confirms that your Pre 3 can be unlocked, you need an actual registration code to do the unlocking (paid) and the unblocking (free). Get one from there.

Step 3: Read out the unlock code and write it down

Step 4: Add the following fix to the registration code that you got from PalmUnlocker: ,unblock. For example, if your registration code was 12345XYZ, then you would use 12345XYZ,unblock. Use your registration code and the fix and repeat the unlocking 2-3 times. You will the see the following screen but if your phone still shows the Enter Unblock Code screen, repeat the unlocking 2-3 times using the registration code with the fix.

Done. Pre 3 unlocked and unblocked now.

Now you can actually use your Pre 3 again.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] india23:
This is for those who want to use the captivate on ATT without paying for the data plan. However, this also means that you will not be able to connect to the ATT 3G network. You will strictly be able to use WiFi. I'm writing this because it worked for me.

The main point is to call up ATT customer care and tell them you're switching phones. All you have to do is provide them with an IMEI number from an non-smartphone. This gets registered in their system as a different but legit phone. You can still continue using your captivate but only to make/receive phone calls and use WiFi for internet. Just make sure Data is deactivated.

Hope this helps.
