The bootloader reads S-ON and it is version 2.16. I tried fastboot commands to flash a recovery and it gives me a signature verification failed...I'm not giving up on this phone. I really want to get it working again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
Since the phone is s-on, you can't load a custom recovery. Stock recovery is trash. As a last resort boot into bootloader and try getting s-off from revolutionary.io

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jettamk4:
Don't most of the ways to get S-OFF require at least recovery to use ADB? All I can use is fastboot. I've tried ADB to push anything to the phone and the phone is not recognized. I even registered on HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader and the procedure for that fails

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
In order for you to flash a custom recovery, you need to be S-OFF. That's why I said "as a last resort" try revolutionary. I've had my evo rooted since the unrevoked 3.2 days so I have never used revolutionary. But, I think when I used unrevoked to root, I had to go into fastboot and pick fastboot usb. If revolutionary does that too, and you can get there, then maybe thats enough for you to get S-OFF. Just trying to help with some ideas that's all. But like I said, never used revolutionary...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jettamk4:
I tried revolutionary in fastboot usb and it just sat there saying waiting for device...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
Did you install the drivers also????
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jettamk4:
Yes, Under Fastboot USB my PC shows the phone as "My HTC" and I'm able to use fastboot from the command prompt and I can reboot the phone with fastboot just no writing to it. If I switch to Hboot USB plug my PC switches to Android ADB Interface but I've try going to the command prompt and typing ADB devices and nothing shows up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
I'm outta ideas. Sorry :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jettamk4:
Thanks for trying. I wish the phone was activated so I could take it to sprint and pay $35 for a "new" one. I wonder if they would still replace it...

Remember to flash via BACK usb ports or you can probably fail at flashing from a front port if the usb overpowers(or something like that)

Relax is practically impossible to brick the Infuse just need to reflash using a back usb port for safety.

Hope it gets solved.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] holgalee:
I have a GS2 that I purchased in July and really like. But having a larger screen would be fantastic for reading and surfing the net. My main bugbear is battery life for smartphones & having to charge nearly everyday. So I wonder if it's too early for me to upgrade or whether I should wait for another device with even better battery life, and better features (e.g. lotus screen).

I'm a little tired of relentless upgrading in search of the “perfect" phone. I switched from the GS1 to GS2 within eight months because I like my phones blazing fast.

So do you think Samsung will create another phoneblet in the near future? Sorry for rambling as it's early morning in my part of the world. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] watch_mania:
No, I don't think so.

1) An S-LCD version would probably exists in the future if Note sells, but I think it's going to have a bit smaller screen and thicker dimensions. Speaking of LCD construction that requires more thickness and bezel, probably for the backlights on the screen.

2) I believe 5,3" is the max considering it's already a device huge enough for niche markets. They stick very close to Dell Streak's dimensions and I can't imagine one handed use and pocketability for devices larger or wider than this.

3) I think Samsung won't put out the S-Pen on any screen lesser than 5,3".

4) Even if they update the model with quad core stuff, would you think you'll need that?

I might be wrong, but I myself won't be able to go for an all-in-one larger device than Note, and use it as a primary phone :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
I'm not sure about S-LCD being chosen over the PLS screen but as posted above, i don't think note will survive after this year
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dennishhh:
Sure

You must be living under a rock! Every single user's gotten this phone just loves it. I guess I must be reading the wrong information somewhere, even Engadget loves it. Who would want a small tablet, that was also a phone, that fits in your pocket and is as fast and efficient as any phone out there? Not only is it a small tablet, phone but also the best navigation tool you can get.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
I'm not saying it's a bad device by any means but what i'm saying here is that it's a form factor that most people are not familiar with.

In fact, i like it much better than my SGS2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] getmouse:
Let this speak for it self. Galaxy GS, Galaxy GS2, Galaxy tab, Galaxy tad 7.7, Galaxy tab 10, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note "2 " S " 6" who know. From what I've seen from Samsung they bring out a product every year and then a better one the next, but never any updates for the first gen. But look for a note next year!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
Near future? Zero chance.

I don't even know if they'll release it in the US in the near future.

If the Note sells really well, then I'm sure they'll make another one.

The Note is awesome, and I love mine to death, but there's no denying it's a niche device, and a very expensive one at that. I really have no idea how well it'll sell.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:
y not ..I think it will ..

Just because its not been released in the US, doesn't mean it will hav bad sales.. its not even released in half of Asia.. its even been delayed in my country..

Only time will tell:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SNiiPE_DoGG:
I agree, we are still well on the front end of the launch of the device. Asia will love this phone and it quite possibly will go to att (except not for 6-8 more months)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] holgalee:
Thank you for all your replies and combined wisdom! I tried the demonstration unit at a shop today and am smitten. Odd, since I wasn't extremely taken by it the first time round and to make matters more intriguing, the S-pen had been stolen so I could only use my fingers.

P.S: Am I the only one who thinks the Note resambles a Galaxy S more than S2? :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] koniakki:
No you are not the only one. I does resembles the SGS1 in general for me, but it reminds me more of the SGS2.. Yes, its a weird condratiction but its true.. :p

It looks like a huge version of SGS1 but performs more like an SGS2! :p
[General Questions and Answers] Angelus359:
I'd like to come up with a list of performance and battery optimizations for AOSP android devices. I will base this off of cyanogen, and it's derivatives, like evodeck, which is what I use.

I have a few questions. I will edit when I get answers, to include them.

For raw performance, which is better, Yaffs, or EXT2. Also, does that question actually fluctuate depending on which partition? I just became aware that EXT4 will be the new standard partition, but that's just EXT2, with extents (which on flash is worthless overhead), and journaling, which uses a lot of write cycles.

Does 3g turbocharger affect battery usage? Does it actually work?

What is people's opinion on v6 supercharger and 3g turbocharger?

Basic optimizations that I start off with for pure battery

Setup power control widget. Disable autosync on disable wifi, have 2g/3g disable or enable based off of background data.

Use HAVS custom kernel, with undervolt as far as you can go while maintaining stable, using vipermod. Use smartass governor. Some people perfer interactiveX.

If for whatever reason, you can not use a HAVS kernel, use setCPU to set your screen off settings to go to powersaver governor, just so it doesn't have to monitor use. Underclock your lowest speed to comfort level. I like 128MHZ on my evo.

For amoled screens, use black as often as you can, while for LCD screens, use white as often as you can.

Shut off haptic feedback, and other input based sounds.

Performance and battery

Disable Animations, of nearly any kind in settings. Set transparency to 16bit.

Consider lowering VM heap size, to prevent garbage collection, experiment as necessary.

If you have sufficent memory (512+), then lock messenger and homescreen in memory.

Consider using v6 supercharger to make android properly setup for the amount of ram that you have, instead of a generic value.

Remove DSP, since it increases processing usage.

Set noatime and nodiratime, to prevent disk writes.

Use push mail instead of polling to save battery.

Use a static wallpaper, or no wallpaper.
[Epic 4G General] blackdragon79:
The title speaks for itself. This was a cool feature on the evo that's not on this phone. Now before anyone starts trolling talking about use search I have this is what I came up with. According to the info I found I'm suppose to type about:debug go to settings and look for uastrings and select desktop. Well that option is not there. So do anyone here have a way of having to do this. Oh yes I have a pc if I was home I would use it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzfreek:
I am running Wildstang's GB OTA from August (4.06.605.3) with a few minor problems, and I am rooted. This morning I received an update from Verizon called OTA_Incredible_C_Gingerbread_S_Verizon_WWE_4.08.605.2-4.06.60503_release_222219.zip and it is 8.58 MB. I did not receive any other OTA from Verizon.Checking the forum I see that Wildstang posted another ROM today called wildstang83_inc_ota_4.08.605.2.zip. What I would like to know is does this latest Rom from Wildstang include this small OTA I received from Verizon this morning, and what exactly is this update, and do I need it! Will this small update unroot me? What a mess Verizon created...Thanks for any info
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:

If you're rooted it won't install, need stock recovery. But its the latest ota upgrade rooted for us flashers.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aweaver33:
Wildstang's latest includes the 4.08 OTA. As for if you need it or not, the following things are listed by Verizon:

Some of these are stupid build.prop mistakes from HTC's Evo release that all the ROMs here have already corrected (screen size, Sprint vs. Verizon) -- the lack of quality control on these is appalling, by the way. Others appear to be bug fixes that are not present in any of the ROMs based on the 4.06 OTA, so you may be better off with this update. Personally, I'm waiting for Jermaine to incorporate it into his Stock+ so I can get the quick settings, advanced reboot menu, and native screen capture.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yougotcut:
I was just wondering which kernel would be good to use on the NS with an MIUI rom for battery life? Been switching between Trinity's TUV10 and Matr1x's 10.5 and 9.5 cfs.

I usually get around 20-24 hours usage once it's off the charger. My usage is moderate... I listen to music for about an hour a day, check the news for about 15 mins.. a few texts and usually no calls.

Any of you guys out there using an MIUI rom but is setup more towards battery life rather than performance?

Thanks!

After a little bit, the 4G icon (I'm on 2.3.4) will appear in my notification near my signal bars, as usual. But my 3G WatchDog isn't active, so my 4G isn't really on. I've rebooted, pulled the battery, but I really don't want to factory reset....If anyone can help, it would be really appreciated! Thank you!

EDIT: Please someone help, I really need my mobile network for things!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Don't count on 3G Watchdog to tell you the status of your system.

Check your mobile network status in Settings/About.

Check that you have correct APN in Settings/Wireless/Mobile.

Turn off and on mobile data.

Check your connection data, ping your DNS servers or Google DNS (8.8.8.8), ping www.google.com and see if it translates to IP.

If nothing helps or you don't know how to do stuff - back everything up and factory reset the thing.

If you're not rooted - temp-root and back the apps up, and then factory reset.

And the best thing might be to wait - there might just be cellular data problems in your area.
[LG Thrill 4G] jayjayjoker2:
i did a format using recovery i am rooted but now that ive done this does it remove all signs of root i need to send my phone back its not working correctly
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
No. First you need to flash a stock rom if you're not already on one. Once you do that you need to flash the stock recovery. You do this the same way you flashed cwm but flash the stock recovery instead of cwm. You can also skip the backup step. After that you can use super oneclick to unroot the phone. At that point you will be good.

Well I never had cwm I went on super one click and pressed unroot did this do it I am on stock 2.2 and never flashed a rom
