Thanks for letting us know!

At last I've had my Gnote since last week, once I get my flip cover I'll be brave enough to take it out into the big wide world!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
can you please elaborate further on this? once flipped over, why would it be difficult to make a call?

thanks!

Just got a flip cover for my Note in the order from handtec when my father ordered his GNote from them
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
Lucky you... Early orders dint come with it :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SNiiPE_DoGG:
erm, sorry if I was unclear - I ordered 2 flip covers from handtec with the phone I just ordered. Nothing was for free ;)

I believe the companies that offered the note with the flip were marking up anyway so nobody gets a deal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] apanteli:
Does anyone has any idea when the tan leather flip cover will be available.

I dont want exact day, but it will be appreciate if anyone knows something, like 10 days, 20 days, a month, something :)

Thanks

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflip:
game loft games? I'm thinking of buying a nook and have um teen dollars invested on those games. also are there mods available that give this device the capability of running tegra zone games as well. not much of a significant selling point compared to its price drop alone. what would really sell me the usb otg host support mod that was released earlier this year by someone. i would like to know how that's holding up. I'm looking for a good reason to buy this over a china tablet with attractive specs. lol.

Check out this thread....

It sounds like for the most part, yes, but you probably have to jump through some hoops to get them to install. I've only personally tried one or two of the "lite" versions they offer on the google market and they worked ok. I'm not sure how getting them from Gameloft works, but if you have the apk's, it will probably help.

For the USB host mode -- I've personally used it successfully with both a keyboard and mouse plugged directly into the Nook (I haven't tried both at the same time). In general, a hub should help to get most devices working, and a powered one is needed for higher-drain devices like external hard drives, etc. I couldn't find them right now, but there should be some more threads about this, if you're interested.

Ps. for many games [and emulators], the Wii remotes and PS3 controllers work very well.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j21blackjack:
I've successfully played Pinball and a couple others, and Tegra Zone works fine too. Haven't tried many yet, but with the chainfire app and the driver plugins you should be able to play most of them. Pinball runs great on my Nook, I'm overclocked to 1.2Ghz on CM7.1 stable.

Hello, i am new here so i can't post under development forum. I'll try here. I'm using Custom Rom Cianogenmod 7.1 Gingerbread 2.3.7. Everything works fine except i cannot save apn. When i press Save the APN doesn't appear where it should be. Could anyone please help me?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] samrox144:
Did you flash gapps....which baseband your using
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mrbulanescu:
No.. can u instruct me further? I have installed other custom rom but that didn't fix it. Baseband is v07u-0000-000 apr 2009.

EDIT: I'm downloading them now from here ( can't post link ) but they are 2.3.7 version

Hope i will fix it. Thank you.

EDIT2: Installed them... but the same, can't save apn.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
Your on old baseband, its best that you stay on old BB...ive personally never flashed new but ive heard with new you get longer battery life and better cell reception but flashing new baseband requires using lg's tool....you will find tools for such things under the dev section under stickies at the bottom of the list...as far as that apn problem have you tried using a 3rd party app from the market to perhaps save,backup,restore apn list? Ive never had a problem with apn using any mik_os roms but using andys phoneix rom sometimes requires that i manually enter the apn, im on tmobile btw....

As far as video lag/blackscreen bug use goldenleaf in combo with cm7 6.5.8 and maybe you wont have sucha huge problem with it

Also try wiping everything, redownloading cm7 than flash it and see if doing that has corrected your problems
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
Google search gapps cyanogenmod7 wiki, scan the page and you will find the version you need....also by going on cm7 6.5.8 dev page right after the download link for 6.6.1 you will see a link to minimal gapps

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmarmstr:
Actually it's quite different in that the stock only controls wifi, bluetooth, gps, sync and brightness I believe, where the CM7.1 has a bunch of options to add other things like data 2G/3G toggle, plus others that I can't think of off the top of my head and I don't have my phone with me at the moment.

[LG Optimus 2x] extreme79:
up :P

Hi all.. today I'm with this issue.. low space on system. :(

No issue before some installs.. I explain.

I needed to reinitialize system partition because R/W issues.. so I executed a script that make backup of system content, format it and restore contents; I used it before and it work, but this time it locks due to some errors, I think.

Reinstalled rom, reinstalled kernel (that reinit ext-4 partition if needed), re-executed the script (good execution).

When rebooted.. low space notify on system!

I think there's something is wrong.. but I don know what I need to check.. can you help me??
[LG Optimus 2x] RknDroidFreak:
Just backup the apps and uninstall them. you can't keep apps n increase free space at the same time. I can't see why you want bloatwares..
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
That sounds odd. I would suggest to use NVFlash to start with some fresh formatted partition layout.
[LG Optimus 2x] RknDroidFreak:
yea, that's there, but i'd rather not waste my time to keep bloatwares, you agree?

Im referring to extreme who has different issues than the op. (ops post is from last year btw).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wareazy:
Not sure if this is an issue, or if its standard. But here is what im facing.

A charge off the wall will get my Tmobile SGS2 to a full charge (from around 15%-20%) with the stock plug and cable in about an hour to an hour and a half. However charging from my laptop or from a car charger im only getting a total increase in battery 15% in an hour. I tried to use the stock cable with the laptop and got about 25% in an hour and a half. I tried to use the stock cable in my car and only got 7% in 45 minutes.

Anyone have any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DyingBlade:
When charging from the car or from a laptop, the power is limited to what the cable/charger can supply which might not be sufficient for the SGS2. For the car charger, you can try buying one that supplies more amps, but for the laptop, theres really nothing you can do, as it is limited by the USB cable itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wareazy:
Do you mean the USB cable or do you mean the actual plug & internal workings of the laptop? because i have tried several cables. And just also remembered that i tried the stock cable as well with crappy results.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
you can buy a 2A charger, and it will charge a lot faster, that's what i use in my car

at home or office, i just use the regular charger, as i always carry extra battery packs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DyingBlade:
When you plug it into the laptop it only gives out a limited amount of amps unlike the regular charger that came with the phone. The one that came with the phone regulates the charge so that it doesn't overcharge your device or anything. The laptop USB plug is supposed to be meant for peripherals like a mouse and stuff so it doesnt give out that much amps, therefore charging slower than a regular charger.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
I use the t-mobile rapid car charger, It can charge this beast in about 45 minutes. It also has a 2nd port for a 2nd device.

Deebo took your bike too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KLR Rico:
Really?! I've never seen my charging current go over 700 mA, even with a 2 amp charger.

I'd happily give up some long-term lifetime for faster charging.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
They have a home charger too that's a home charger plus car charger in 1. I use them in the cars but they're great for trips cause you have a 2 in 1 charger.

With 3 batteries and a external charger though, I never need a home charger and haven't even put this on a charger yet. :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Born_Immaculate88:
Just as most of the others have said here, the charge is going to be limited to what the source can put out. If you get another charger (2A charger) then it will be able to charger faster but you also want to be careful with using after market chargers there are some that can negatively affect your battery by overcharging which is when the phone gets fully charged but the charger does not ever stop with the flow of power to the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wareazy:
Ok Thanks all.

Guess i need a new car charger and something for the office.

Also did some crawling through "Mother of all battery life" thread found some good ideas there for making this thing last longer on the charge its got.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightymike889:
Im having the same problem my fone takes forever to charge...im pluged into the wall using the charger in the box n it took me no joke 7 hours to charge my fone!

Im on it rite now as its plugged i to the wall n im losing power instead of charging...i tested the voltage n its fine ...is tgere anythin i can do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DyingBlade:
I, myself, actually haven't used the OEM charger that came with the phone. Although I did notice it is quite small and the phone battery is a 1850mAh (larger than normal) that might affect the charging rate. I am currently using the old HTC charger that came with my Sensation and it charges fully in about 2 hours. If you want a charger that charges your phone in an hour and a half, I recommend going into a T-mobile store and grabbing the Wallcharger they sell. It charges 33% faster than OEM chargers and does not harm your device nor kill your batteries.

You can find it by clicking here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
Exactly same problem as OP.

OEM wall charger charges phone to full in couple of hours but laptop USB or car USB is doing at 10% / hour assuming you don't do anything on your phone but just leave it there to be charged. Otherwise you'll be losing battery rather than being charged.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DyingBlade:
As explained in previous post, this is due to limitations in the laptop USB drive and depending on what car charger you have, the phone might suck up more juice than it is able to provide.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightymike889:
so this is nothing a kernel or any other tweak can fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] talltexan:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightymike889:
So i gotta buy a new charger!?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DyingBlade:
Yes, or if you have like an old microUSB charger from HTC or another Samsung phone (Samsung Vibrant) you can try using those.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
the 2A chargers from BlackBerry are the best
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KLR Rico:
So, you guys are seeing the phone draw over 700 mA (when the charger is capable)?

If I use my iPad charger (2A), I still top out at 700 mA, and the ~4 hours that go with it. :/

Even my 1A car charger tops out at 700 mA, that's why I thought it was a hardware issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
does this makes it easier to understand?

if you are using the GPS + BT, or simply have the screen while charging... chances are the battery bar will be going down instead of up, if you use the regular charger

if you use a 1A it will just remain in the same spot

if you use a 2A charger you can actually fully use the phone, while the battery actually gets charged, rather than draining the battery if you are to use the stock charger

the stock charger is meant to be used when the phone is OFF, then it'll be fully charged in aprox 4 hour, from Zero
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vikramdhani:
Where can i find this charger
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Get the T-Mobile branded chargers. They can even charge 2 devices at once.

Deebo took your bike too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Um This should work for every device when your charging with the phone powered on of course. You can set a screen off profile under clock the cpu to like 368-702 or what ever lower. The phone will charge faster not much but faster than what your getting. I get a full charge in a hr using the stock charger. Also i think code Aurora had some recent patches to have fast usb charging then float at 90% to give it a slight overcharge. My older phone had that patch in the kernel that did this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i got mines from Deal Extreme
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I too have this issue, which is a major hindrance to using my phone as my nav. I've tried 2A car chargers and the original charger connected to an inverter and I still lose charge. I saw on the international sgs 2 forum that there might be an issue with inferior cables. I'll try better cables and report back. I will also try my old HD2 charger connected to my inverter, just to rule out the Samsung charger as the cause.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kid Poker:
I have a 2A charger, but if I choose to have the phone off to charge, it would power on by itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
now that's a software or hardware BUG, nothing to do with the charger

check all the software that will react to USB plugged in

there are many alarm apps, and docking apps that will do that sort of stuff
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
Thanks for this information. That's a relief. I thought my charger/battery has a problem or what. Using the stock charger and battery it takes 4 hours to charge to 100 from 0 WHILE PHONE IS OFF. It's unbearably long...

I'll try looking for a 2A charger then.

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

But, will 2A ones hurt battery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
prolonged left unattended for a whole day like 8+ hours then probably

but if you unplug it shortly after reaching 100% then is fine

just unplug it the moment the battery becomes really hot, which shoul NOT happen if the plug/charger is well made
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:

Thanks.

Do you have a 2A wall charger (not a car charger) for this phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
Have been searching like crazy but couldn't find a 5V/2A USB wall charger. Anyone has any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Better cables fix the issue?

Ok, so I tried the 2A car charger with the OEM cable. I charged to 100% and then drove with nav and screen on for about 20 minutes. Usually, I would see a decrease in charge, but I didn't this time.

This will require further investigation, but it seems that there are at least two issues going on: the capacity of the charger AND the quality of the cable. I'll keep everyone posted. But for right now, those having the slow charge issue with 2A car chargers with GPS navigation on might want to consider upgrading their cables.

Unfortunatley, I no longer have a 1A car charger to try, but I will use the OEM 1A wall charger with an inverter to see if the result changes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] undefined13:
My EVO 3d will drain more juice than my factory charger can provide. I tried using different usb cables. The cheap ones from China were even worse. If try using a thicker usb cable.

Did it heat up with your usage, like really hot? Heat kills!:(

One reviewer says it does 2A each port. Another says it does not specify on this. Can you clarify this? Looks cool, may order anyway just to save on extra chargers when traveling. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Back to square 1. For some reason, my 2A charger failed to charge my device today with GPS nav on. I also tried another 2A charger with the same result. I checked and the phone did not overheat and the charger was recognized as an AC adapter. Stumped.

Only one thing left to try. The new car charger ( a Targus 2.1A low-profile vehicle charger) came with a special dongle for use with Samsung tablets. Maybe there is a special pin configuration that might work with this Samsung phone. I'll check and report back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I tried the dongle extension and it worked. I had navigation, Bluetooth, and wireless tethering all going simultaneously with the screen on and it still charged! I have my phone vent-mounted and did not notice any significant increase in temperature. It operated at no higher than 104°F.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
if it takes more than 4 hours charging, then you are doing something wrong

it should not take more than 4 hours to charge it from Zero to 100%

turn off WiFi, BT, GPS, keep the screen OFF, and use the wall charger, not from a computer USB port (this will take forever)
