[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twohothardware:
Look at the back of the box your Note came in.

If it says www.samsung.pl it's from Poland

If it says www.samsung.de it's from Germany

If it says www.samsung.uk it's from United Kingdom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
Will this update unroot/break root if you're rooted?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mike2518:
Mines is strange. I got it from handtec UK, but the box has www.samsung.com on the back and has english wording all over it. But, when I started the phone for the first time, a weird language came up by default, not spanish or french, but another one from Europe I believe. Also, hte box came with 2 manuals: english and an asian language, I believe Thai. What could this mean? What version do I have and why was it another language other than english at first boot?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twohothardware:
You probably have the UK version if it's in English. I was just guessing as to what the web address on the box would say for the UK based off the Polish and German versions so it's probably just www.samsung.com. I don't know why it would default to some other language than English if it is the UK version though. I got the Polish version and it came set with English (United Kingdom) by default.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ardabey:
There are also German, Polish and Hong Kong versions out there. So if you think the language you got upon initial setup was European, maybe it was the Polish version. Then again, you have an Asian manual, so it's a little confusing.

I believe there's a way to change the region/country code that the phone identifies itself with, so the updater accepts your phone for the specific update files it is referencing to. It involves dialing a #somethingsomethingYourIMEI* number, and you can probably find it by googling for "region change galaxy note imei".

As usual, should you accept to follow this method, I will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

Hi friends I have Nexus S i9023

I have just rooted the phone for the first time

current android version is :2.3.6

I have ROM manager and Super user installed

I downloaded the ICS build for Nexus s WIP

trying to install it from ROM manager and also from RECOVERY but it gives me a triangle exclamation mark of android ....

not working

tried several times but no result

please help meee ......
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
From what I was reading about it last night no one has gotten to work yet. Be patient or try sdk port until some one gets it up and running better.

Nevermind I see there is a new one.

But it also sounds like you still have the stock recovery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enrichman:
Hi there! I wish to flash my stock rom and put ice cream sandwich on my I9020!

Can't wait for the original update!

How can i do? I've the stock recovery but I've the bootloader unlocked!

After the flash will i be able to put stock roms on it?

Thanks everybody!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
the reasons are because you are using rom manager. I would not recommend rom manager at all. Boot into recovery and flash and you would not have an exclamation mark. How? Power off device. Hold volume up and power to boot into bootloader. Next scroll to recovery using volume buttons and press power to select. In recovery wipe everything. Next install zip from sd card and select the ics rom. After it is done reboot. Good luck!

Hit thanks if i helped!:D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
After the flash you WOULD NOT be able to get OTA updates. However custom roms are always better:P
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icecoldmeat:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irizwan:
I'd advise you to read alot of instructions from different places to get and idea of flashing as your new to it as pointed out b4 i think the problem is that ur recovery isn't present you can install it via ROM-manager by clicking the 1st option on it

^This guy would be correct. The problem is that you didn't install the clockwordmod recovery. You are still on stock recovery which you cannot use to flash custom roms
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abialystok:
Well, my problem is that my phone won't recognize any computer as a computer, but only as a source for battery charging. when i plug it into a computer the battery starts charging but i don't get the USB sign.

the thing is that it used to work. i usually just pluged the phone in and it would work, and suddenly out of the blue it stopped working and i have no idea why. i've done nothing on the computer between the last time it worked and the time it stopped working, i wasn't even using the computer during that time, so it must be something on the phone settings, but i checked it a little and found nothing that looks like the problem, but i rly don't understand much about it..

any ideas? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
It sounds like a driver issue.

If you're using a Samsung firmware, reinstall the drivers. This can be done by finding them online, or by installing Kies. If you're using CM7/Miui, Samsung drivers won't work. You'll need to uninstall Kies (or kill the process to make sure it's not running in Task Manager) and then install the Nexus S drivers. Again, a simple search will provide the files you need.

If it's not a driver issue, I really don't know what it could be. But I would definitely try reinstalling the appropriate drivers first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nezys:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
Try with a different USB cable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nezys:
Try to reinstall Kies or one of the steps that I've read here:

http://www.androidgalaxys.net/suite...problemi-connessione-collegamento-usb-galaxy/

Translated:

Make sure you have installed the latest version of Kies (currently 2.0.1).

For owners of Windows Vista / Seven Kies launch in admin mode

Connect your phone to your PC using the default launcher from Samsung (TouchWiz)​​. Alternative launcher may not be recognized by Kies. Close any programs in the background on your phone and PC.

Make sure that in Settings> Wireless and Networking> USB Settings is selected Samsung Kies or Ask the connection.

If you already selected, try to choose any item and then set one of the two mentioned.

Try using another USB port on PC. Not all USB ports may be able to deliver the power needed to power the device.

Restart both the phone and your PC.

Try reinstalling the drivers of the Galaxy. To do this open Kies, go to the Tools menu and then install drivers.

Try using another USB cable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abialystok:
ok, I tried everything but switching cable coz i know it works...

here's the weird thing: I tried connecting my phone to 3 different computers, 1 worked and the other 2 (including mine) didn't work.

the thing is that the other computer that didn't work and the computer that did work never touched a Samsung before, so basicaly i have no idea what would make one of them work and the other not to work.

I'm really confused.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamsteyr:
Try going into device manager and see if there are any devices flagged with '!'

If not, find your samsung device from device manager, and uninstall it and delete all drivers, then reinstall them.

Try that. It may just be a windows issue, I've had similar problems before but not even with a phone, but a flash drive.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abialystok:
well, tonight the computer restarted itself because of some updates, now it seems to magicaly work, even though i restarted it before.

i have no idea y it suddenly started working, but i can only hope it wouldn't happen again.

thank you all, you guys are great!
[HTC Amaze 4G] davidktk:
I've noticed that the pictures in lower-than-normal light look a bit grainy. I've noticed that even at 8mp (3264x1840), the file size is about 1 mb. On every other camera I've used, 8mp resolution was about 4-6 mb. Is there any way to reduce the amount of compression applied to images? Can't imagine they would lock us into such a high compression rate without the ability to adjust it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zellroot:
Try flashing xboarders amazing quick sense or ARHD custom roms. I'm not sure but I think most custom sense roms have zero compression in the camera app.
[HTC Amaze 4G] davidktk:
What if you haven't rooted the device?
[HTC Amaze 4G] today-g:
You may want to try ProCapture. Im taking photos with this app and it gives much nicer ones than either my stock telus camera or quiksense 1.4.1 camera.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xManMythLegend:
Im using quick sense files still are 1-.1.5 mb.
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
I used Root Explorer (Market) and altered the "media_profiles.xml" file to "100" for all compression levels for the camera. I also set the ImageDecoding Memcap to 80000000 instead of 20000000. Now my shots are all 5mb and above. HOWEVER...the problem appears to be the bit depth which is 8 and the ppi resolution is only 72. This is

extremely poor

for any camera. Unless the ppi resolution can be changed within the camera, I am of the opinion that there is no hope! It is a very tiny sensor compared to even a point and shoot camera so perhaps that is the best we can expect. I compared before and after picture quality and even at 5mb and up compared to 1-2mb, the exact same pictures still look the same! :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] xManMythLegend:
Interesting. I did compare shots and the larger files didnt seem noticeably different.

I dont know enough about camera but that bit depth is poor for anything. Im assuming this was a tricky way to get the zero shutter lag going ?

Maybe a dev can take a gander and share his/her thoughts.
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
Yes the bit depth is horrendous! It is usually created by the hardware engine for the sensor so if that is all HTC put into it, I doubt any dev can make it better with a software patch if it truly is in the hardware. I tried my settings on all camera modes and I get around 5-7mpx for everything except the Clear Shot HDR. That locks the camera app up! I've been using Pro HDR camera anyway because it allows you to save up to an 8mpx image at full resolution. I have it in the same folder as the camera and camcorder (I love folders!) so I just select that when I want to shoot an HDR. I use my Panasonic G2 for normal shots and video anyway. The phone camera is just in case I don't have my big camera with me. I don't think HTC should even try to brag about how great this camera is. At 8mpx and 72ppi, it is a joke!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B14Rle4s6tI

I'll be adding "Sony Bravia Engine" in my next ROM which increase's photo and video quality and i will be adding

ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=8000000

ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=8000000

ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=90 or 100
[HTC Amaze 4G] deliriousbb:
That was a convincing video of what the Bravia engine can do. Hope it can do that with our Amaze
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
It will work better I think because of the QHD screen .
[HTC Amaze 4G] brocco99:
A different take on this: Compression applied after capturing a low-light image probably isn't what is causing the low image quality & smaller filesize you're seeing. Image quality in all digital cameras drops when light levels fall below the sensor+lens ability to capture enough light for a good picture, and you get the equivalent of using high-ISO film: a grainy image with less detail to write to the file. The Amaze is still better than most phone cams, but will still not do as well as a larger point & shoot camera in low light -- regardless of compression.

That said . . . nope, I haven't 'gone deep' into how well compression itself works on the Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xManMythLegend:
Holy crap you waited for two years before posting THIS!!!!

lol j.k

Personally its not about having PnS quality as lens size simply wont allow it. But if picture quality can be better...then I want to know. Particularly what the trade off is and why.

I remain curious as to how PQ compares to iPhone4 and GalaxyNexus. Such a pain to find comparison pics.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaytonGuy:
OK. I started out this adventure to root my phone because I want to use it as a wifi hotspot for my Ipad and not pay AT&T $50/month for that "privelage." I can't figure it out!!!

Phone Info. - Samsung Captivate with Froyo kb2 build. It has the 2.1 adroid when I got it then I updated to 2.2 through the Keis program when it was available.

Before anyone starts with "read and search" lecture, I'll tell you that I've been on this site for a combined 9 hours reading and searching and nothing seems to work. I've tried one-click root programs, I've installed a rooted version of my stock ROM, Ive downloaded more apps, files, or software programs than I can remember. I know how to get the phone into download mode and I know how to boot into recovery mode, but nothing works. Everything seems to come back to the 3e Recovery I have because when I think I am almost there, I get a failed signature error.

I tried the 3e Recovery Mod and that didn't seem to do anything. Is anyone out there willing to help me through this? I am not a programmer, and I don't have any android experience whatsoever, but I can follow direction and am willing to learn. Everytime I find a new thread I seem to get more confused because I'm unclear on the jargon being used, or the thread is on a different ROM or phone so I don't know if it will work. I know "brick" is a bad thing so I don't want to do that.

I any of the experts had my phone what would you do? Do you need more information from me? Also, once I get this figured out, I'de love some recomendation on a better, faster ROM to install.

ANY HELP WOLD BE GREATLY APPRICIATED. Sorry for the frustration.

When I was on the Official Froyo 2.2 the first thing I used to successfully get root was this... View attachment 789581

I tried that early on because it looked so easy. All I get is "Sorry, no codes found unknown error" Is there a way to tell if I'm CID unlocked or not? I haven't done that yet that I know of. I did click the unlock button is Super One Click, but it did nothing. By that I mean the program, nor the phone seemed like anything happened. Early on in this process I found the completly rooted version of my stock Froyo 2.2 and installed that on my phone thinking that it would root the phone. Later realized it doesn't work like that. How do I check the CID lock? I'de like to try one of these cool ROM's I keep reading about.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
unless you are planning on running the captivate on another carrier, you dont need to unlock it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaytonGuy:
I was under the impression that I needed to CID unlock the phone to flash any ROM not produced or signed by the carrier. I thought SIM unlock was what allowed you to take the phone to another carrier?

As you can see, I know enough to be dangerous, but I'm slowly learning.:rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
CID unlocks do not apply to Samsung phones.

once you have a kernel that has CWM built into it, you can start flashing. nothing else required. you dont even need root if you arent planning on using something like titanium backup before you flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaytonGuy:
Cool.

So any recomendations on my first custom ROM install?

I tried installing a custum boot animation last night and had no luck. I used CWM to flash the file I downloaded, but no change. I tried to copy a new customanimation.zip (I think that's what it's called I'm going from memory here) but I don't have RW access to the System folder. I tried using CWM to mount system and then fix permissions through recovery mode, but that doesn't do it. I'm using Droid Explorer to copy the file but it won't copy. There is a customamination.zip file in system/media so I tried to rename it .zp and it won't take. I assume that is a permissions thing.

I guess I'll try Root Exploer from the market. People seem to be having luck with that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
you cant use a bootanimation.zip on a stock kernel. It just be enabled in a custom kernel.

Go read some more bro. A LOT MORE.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaytonGuy:
OK. so it looks like I downloaded a custom animation zip file, but I need to flash a kernel that allows me to use the anmation. I ran across a post about that so I can find it.

Was was confusing to me was the uploader of the animation called it "flashable" so I thought that was the kernel and all, but I'm now guessing that by flashing it it simply installed it into the system/media folder for me???

Still looking for any suggestions for my first ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Yes, it just put the file where it needed to go. Its up to you be on a custom kernel.

Noone can tell you what you'll like. Look at some roms, read the first few posts and last few pages to see what the ROM is abs what people are saying about it.

The ROM will include a custom kernel that supports boot animations.
