[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antoniomistretta:
Try in recovery mode.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Reis:
Which version is better and also wich one is the latest one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antoniomistretta:
All going well. However you must try, in your area, try that cares most about the signal, the GPS fix, etc..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] les_garten:
That's what i'm saying, I did try recovery mode?

Is there another way to do it?

I first just dropped it without renaming it.

Went into recovery mode and that name was not "seen"

So I renamed it update.zip.

Still doesn't see it.

says file not found??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antoniomistretta:
Try to download it again!:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] les_garten:
Can I install this from the CWM GUI under update?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antoniomistretta:
Try! Meanwhile, no troublemaker!:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] les_garten:
You released a ROM today but didn't use this modem bin, why not use this one in the rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antoniomistretta:
XXKK5 modem :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] les_garten:
I was wondering because here you have XXXKJ6
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antoniomistretta:
A long time ago! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] les_garten:
I'm always confused about the versions!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antoniomistretta:
Try it or no try it! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] les_garten:
I'm really confused by your post. Which bin are you recommending?

Hi everyone,

Pls can someone post the different CSC files for different regions or a multi one. I was so numb that I flashed without noting this and now my Kies won't work. I bought mine from Hong Kong with 2.3.5 and another thing I can remember is that the Kernel version ended with root@DELL.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:

There seem to be many myths about the Galaxy Note across the internet.

This thread is dedicated to debunked myths, so we don't have to reinvent the wheel when we discover that the Note doesn't have Gorilla Glass or such concerns.

Perhaps the one that amuses / annoys me the most is that the Note was designed specifically for women, as it fits nicely in a purse, but is too big to put in a pocket.

Others,

It's too big to fit in your pocket.

People will think you're a fool holding such a big phone to your ear.

The screen isn't gorilla Glass, (it's only alkali aluminosilicate).

The Pentile screen is inferior(even though it looks gorgeous).

There are masses of Notes with defective screens.

Call quality is poor on all Note phones.

Banding shows on the screen(for every image).

A lot of these myths arise on phone review sites.

I say, hold on before making judgements about the note based on dodgy info.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Myth 1 The Note doesn't have a screen with Gorilla Glass

Although true literally, the type of screen glass is still not known.

However, this review undoes some of the bollocks around this issue:

Samsung Galaxy Nexus uses some type of "fortified glass", after all

Although not about the Note, does anyone seriously think Samsung would skimp on a feature like this?

More on the subject at Android Forums

After a week of owning this phone, the screen on my Note is as pristine as day one. I have yet to get a cover for it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nbass668:
Can anyone contact corning and confirm if the note using gorilla? Almost all reviews I read swear its gorilla but Samsung website doesn't mention it... they didn't mention it for the s2 as well the only source is the corning website but the list is not updated.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bamboo12:
i'll confirm the poor call quality for my galaxy note, probably more to do with software than hardware

my problem is the other person i talk to can barely hear what i'm saying, i've tested it with fring to record my own voice and confirm that i can barely hear the recording

i've upgrade to 2.3.6, the call quality is a bit better but still pretty crap, unlike the galaxy s2, the galaxy note's audio can not be configured with * # * # 197328640 #*#*

so it's not all myths
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
call quality is fine here. are you using a case that doesnt have a hole for the microphone in the bottom? or do you have any gunk or dust in your microphone?

fits in my pocket just fine, although it does feel odd hold it to my ear. microphone isnt positioned too well for when you hold it to your ear from my experience, but doesnt seem to affect call quality for me.

with this pixel density, you wont notice the weakness of the pentile display unless you look really really close (ie. with magnifying glass). if you use it the way youre meant to use it (with it in your hand and your head more than 20cm away from it), its actually a pretty good display.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ankydu:

The biggest myth is that it's too big and you'll look like a tool making calls on it.

I got used to the size immediately. If anything, it made my regular 3.5" and 4" smartphones look silly with their eeny weeny screens.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abergon:
Thanks for this thread. I have had the Galaxy Note for a few days now and:

- it is large, but it isn't that big. In any case , it does not feel bulky and fits easily in a shirt pocket or in a trousers' pocket;

- the screen is excellent, and at the end of the day, I do not worry much about the technology used. At my age, I have presbyopia, and I can read easily on the Note without reading glasses and without straining my eyes. This for me is the most valid test;

- I do not have any problems with call quality, whether on calls with my operator or using Skype;

- this device is FAST, compared to all comparable devices I have been in contact with.

In conclusion, it replaces my previous smartphone, a Nokia N900 (that one WAS bulky); my tablet (a Nook Color); my GPS (an old Garmin that lost its way a bit too easily) and possibly my netbook when I am on short travel and do not plan a lot of report-writing.

Not so bad, isn't it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jobiza:
Thumbs up man for making the change from Nokia to Samsung Android! You'll have plenty of things to celebrate even years after first touch to the device! I'm still finding new and awesome features of Android, (as former Symbian owner...)... Like i have i9000 and had it 13months now and i still have the most awesome experience when i changed to MIUI, feels like almost brandnew quadcore phone. :-D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] paulshields:
Generally, I agree - but it's the same with any new device. Lots of anecdotal evidence and complaints when it's launched then things settle down. Personally I've not found any show stoppers with the Note. The display is generally gorgeous, size is not an issue, and performance is good. It wasn't so long ago that PDA's were all the rage (and prompted the likes of this very site to come into existence). When I first visted this site I was using this beast (HTC Wizard):

.

I think it's great that Samsung has brought back some of that PDA functionality in a form factor that's actually very compact and light.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
theres one particular thing that impresses me with the galaxy note and its something that i havent been able to do properly on any of my previous phones.

and that is, my galaxy note seems to have no issues running a 720p video encoded at 60fps with the xvid codec. its sync'd perfectly with no dropped frames as well which is bloody awesome!

my old dual core computer couldnt even play this video at 60fps without stuttering, even with gpu acceleration. so samsung have definitely done something right.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abergon:
Thanks Jobiza. For the record, since you mentioned Symbian, the Nokia N900 wasn't running Symbian, but Maemo, a Debian-based Linux variant (that was the whole point of the N900 of course).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Nice. Thanks.

Well said. Most of what makes up an XDA, (Convergent Digital Assistant), is firmware or rom. They are complex and interaction with other systems is also complex. Because they are firmware driven, they can be modified, fixed, upgraded.

I just see that many posts by new people who have been put off by innacurate negative blogging and reviews and my beef is with these bloggers. I saw this before with the HTC HD2. I would like to restore some balance to information about the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
I don't want to dis your experience of call quality issues on your phone. No doubt they happen, but obviously not all Notes have this issue. I saw this review 2 weeks ago and it was not my experience of the Note. Samsung GALAXY Note Review. I have seem lots of anxious questions by new people who seem concerned about buying a dud phone, hence the thread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Ditto for MKV's at 720p 30.

(Trueblood 4)

Unbelievable picture, no issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jobiza:
Alright man. Enjoy your Galaxy Note, i'm trying to keep hands off Galaxy Note, would be too early for me to upgrade. :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rdosti:
It's too big to fit in your pocket. - I have used larger phones including the Tab 7 and other interesting devices like the JasJar (o2 Executive) - remember those heavy devices running Win Mobile ??? I believe this device fits just right in my hand and is not large. In fact I think it's large for users who have used smaller phones and tiny devices. The form factor according to me is just right !

People will think you're a fool holding such a big phone to your ear. - This is actually a cool way to show off your phone (if you want) or get attention. If you remember the old Nokia Communicators - they were huge and people who saw it would say - that guy / girl is definitely rich or a business person. I think this phone says exactly that all over again ! This is going to be an elite status phone. Move over Galaxy SII, Move over iPhone 4S, Move over Nexus ICS4 ... Move in with the Note and it's future siblings ;-)

The screen isn't gorilla Glass, (it's only alkali aluminosilicate). - No matter what it is - it's touch, clear and displays fantastic.

The Pentile screen is inferior(even though it looks gorgeous). - I dont agree again (I agree its a myth). It looks and works well in every way.

There are masses of Notes with defective screens. - Mass of Notes have not been sold yet. Globals sales are just begninning. Let's re-consider this point around Mid December. On a side "Note" - In fact India alone has not even sold many devices since there are delays on the official sale. Only few cities have started selling and others will join the party over the next few weeks/days.

Call quality is poor on all Note phones. - I think the quality and loudness is alright. I believe there are multiple factors including location and signal strength from the towers as well as the technology being used (processes) in order to get the signal to reach and then be processed. It works just fine here. Perhaps its "

the way you are holding your phone

" :)

A lot of these myths arise on phone review sites. - I have not seen many of those reviews. I bet they are with people who dont even have the device or a prototype and perhaps more from people who just bought a new phone or an iPhone and don't want theirs to go un-noticed! Jealousy will rise !

I say, hold on before making judgements about the note based on dodgy info.

-- I agree and add "BE Free, Get a Note"

PS - I'm shifting from the iPhone 4 to the Note. My three options were - iPhone 4S, Galaxy Tab 7 Plus & Galaxy Note.

Camera quality

I've read in one of those reviews (don't remember which one), that camera is average in photo and video, and worst than Galaxy S II. Can somebody tell me if is that true? (another myth to break!)

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Unsinkable II:
I think the photos look pretty good for a phone (I am a DSLR enthusiast).

Perhaps it's just being able to see them on a 1280x800 AMOLED!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Awesome!

Good on you for breaking free.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Yes, definitely a myth that the camera is average.

They are the same camera as in the GSII I believe.

This is a favourable and accurate review:

Top-notch 8MP camera with FullHD video capture
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Viamonte:
Most comparative shots I've seen show clearly a lack of detail and color vibrance in the Note's pictures' comparing to SGS2's.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] amuneer:
Hi,

Here is my 2 cents worth as a Galaxy Note user since end October. The phone is definitely NOT too big. I keep it in the front pocket of my skinny jeans and can just about sit comfortably with it. Holding it next to your ear again does not look out of place. I have used it in public transport a lot and mostly people who notice it will be trying to find out which make/model it is. I think the whole hype of it being too big will soon go away as this is a very usable format. First few days I did find the phone a touch too wide while holding it in one hand, but I have got used to it quickly.

I have been using it on Orange UK and the call quality is just as good as my galaxy s II. I have not had any problems with it. I am using the KJ4 rom, baseband and kernel. The data connection is more stable than my galaxy s II as that did have the occasional data connectivity problem. The only small issue I have is sometimes there is a 2 seconds lag when opening certain applications if they are not running in the system memory. It is noticeable on opening the Gmail app on my note.

A lot of the homescreen replacement apps and lockscreens will not run too happy on the note and may cause it to lag (I tried Agile Lock). You best stick with TWLauncher and the default lockscreen. I installed 120 apps on my phone and was messing about with themes etc for about 2 weeks and found it started to slow down. So I took a titanium backup and did a factory reset followed by a titanium backup restore. It it is snappier again now.

The screen does look more solid than my sII. It doesn't look very prone to scratches but that's just my feeling.

So in conclusion, I would say the only thing I would want to change on my note is a better ROM which takes care of the small lag issues. But it is a minor issue. If you like to text/email a lot like me, you will find this device answer to all your prayers. I am saving a lot of time every day as my business involves me to reply to emails on the move. There is one more downside, you will not be able to go back to a smaller phone :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mdalacu:
That's my opinion too, i have them both. S2 camera is better. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] loonsy:
1 & 2. Reminisence the days of windows mobile and the HTC Universal. I don't remember people saying that this was silly to put next to your ear or big to carry around???

HTC Universal: 127.7 x 81 x 25 mm, 3.6" 640*480 qvga, 285g

Samsung Galaxy Note: 146.9 x 83 x 9.7 mm, 5.3" 1280*800 wxga, 178g

3. It's supposed to either be gorilla glass or some variant of fortified glass. I have a Desire HD with no gorilla glass, screen is intact dropped many times, for scratch resistance just add screen protector, so to me no big deal.

4. Played with the note at a Samsung store, Screen is fantastic, see no defects that plagued the old amoled's.

5. Don't own a Note yet, so can't comment on that, will be getting on this weeked when it arrives locally on contract, so will update if I see any defects.

6. Same as point 5.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Viamonte:
Mind you, it COULD be a software related problem, so perhaps dling another cam app from the market is all you need to solve it.

...but I doubt it.

Myth 2 Banding on the screen due to low quality

if you see banding on your screen, the image you are looking at has low bit depth, 16bit or less.

This is not due to properties of the screen.

To see the difference between 16bit(thousands of colours) and 24bit(millions of colours),

view this image in the Android browser to see banding.

Now download the image and view it or view the webpage in Dolphin Browser HD.

You will see no banding in the gradient, only a smooth change from black to white, a sign that your device is truly 24bit(Millions of colours)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ajulien:
Here are my $0.02

It's too big to fit in your pocket: Not really. On most of my shirts, the camera sticks out of the pocket, but nothing really bad. And it fits perfectly on my trousers' pockets. Sadly, it's really not viable to hang it off your belt, but pockets are OK. I can sit perfectly. In fact, my wallet is more unconfortable than the GNote.

People will think you're a fool holding such a big phone to your ear: well, it depends: do you feel like a fool using a normal (landline) phone? Because its headset is larger than the GNote. In fact, many have approached me not to make fun of me, but to say "wow! what phone is that? it's awesome!"

The Pentile screen is inferior(even though it looks gorgeous): Before, I had a SGS2, and I really can't complain. In fact, the size of the screen is the main feature of the phone, and I find the resolution and performance just great. I don't feel dissapointed from my previous phone.

There are masses of Notes with defective screens: Not mine ;)

Call quality is poor on all Note phones: No. I find it equivalent to my SGS2, and in fact, people tell me they hear me better now (even though SGS2 was OK). Specifically, when I was driving with the phone on its cradle at the dashboard, I had to talk louder with the SGS2 than with the GNote. Noise cancellation seems to work just right.

Banding shows on the screen(for every image): Not to me

I had a similar experience. My guess is that many homescreen replacements don't know how to scale to the GNote's resolution correctly. I used to use GO, but it really slowed it down. I just discovered Nemo Launcher, and I can go up to an awesome 6x6 with no visible impact on performance. It has less features than GO, but the important ones (to me) are there. Two weeks already with it, and liking it. Widget Locker seemed to work fine formerly, though I haven't reinstalled it now that I'm using Nemo.

Though I haven't done a strict A/B comparison, I find the camera equivalent to that of the SGS2.

Audio is quiet, yes. Get Voodoo LOUDER. Be happy!

I am having some audio issues:

PowerAmp freezes. Sometimes it just pauses, sometimes it crashes with no FC notice

On my SGS2 I could use SqueezePlayer and SqueezeCommander with no problems. Now, when I do something on SqueezeComander (say, navigate the library) I get sound hiccups.

Sometimes, doing anything would also cause hiccups while PowerAmp is playing

Maybe this is a software issue, I don't know. Has anyone had something like this?

Wow, this is scaring. Still this discussion around, after hundreds of flame wars here on the board ~half a year ago^^
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeriz:
isn't the camera on the note and the s2 exactly the same? when comparing the two isn't it just manufacturing variations we compare?

and if someone still has an opinion on the gorilla glass be it pro or con just do the rest of us a favor and take it to your grave cuz i don't think anyone is helped by igniting that old flame...

<<Agree with me when im talking to you !!!>>
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] martcerv:
Width wise its narrower then a standard wallet just a couple centimeters taller and also thinner then any wallet. If it doesnt fit in your pants your probably wearing ladies pants so you most likely carry a handbag or your one of those strange guys with a so called manbag ;-) to fit the phone into.

Its a great phone for many like me that wanted a tablet but didnt want to lug it around all day get to use a mini tablet, chuck paranoidandroid on it adjust dpi to suit and you have a very fast portable tab.

Its not for everyone and thats why theres 100s of other form factors available to cater for everyone or 4 small screen pos devices by Apple for those that hate being a little different lol.

I will never go back to a smaller device but I wouldnt go for anything much larger, a bigger screen in the same body size and possibly thicker for a bigger battery would do me great next time.

Most of the other myths are software issues with samsung official roms, most samsung roms have always been pretty crappy but change to custom and you will love it.

I've been looking for a extended battery for my HTC Inspire 4G (Desire HD) and I just got my HTC Sensation with an Anker 1900mAh battery. Turns out if you remove the battery door for the Desire HD, YOU CAN USE HTC SENSATION AND EVO 3D BATTERIES IN YOU DESIRE HD!

The only problem is that the battery door won't fit back on, so you'll need to break the Desire HD's battery door for the WiFi to work. When you put a case on it, nothing is noticeable.

I'll post pictures soon to prove it's worth.

I'm using my 1900mAh Anker bettery in it right now ;)

Here's what needs to be done to Desire HD battery door:

Then after that's been done, put it back on the phone showed here:

Now put on a case (any will do) and now you have an Evo 3D or Sensation battery working in your Desire HD!! :)

If you want a new battery door, they are only $5.40 so mod away ;)
