[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pulser_g2:
I would add that the above fails to address a significant portion of the reason for his removal. Namely the creation of an account to go about thanking himself, and the IP address evidence from the posts made using "his friend's" account.

Let this be a reminder to everyone. I hate seeing this kind of thing. Use secure passwords. Don't give them to ANYONE. If someone gives you their password, don't use it. It's not worth it.

Especially when people are dealing with money and financial things - it's not right for one party to imitate another...

So yes, I would remind people that the above is merely one viewpoint from the individual concerned. It does not address the evidence regarding use of accounts. Either way, I have seen satisfactory proof that the posts were made from Melvin's connection, and not that of the account holder.

I don't know what these kids are playing at, but folks, take this as a learning opportunity - if you have shared your password, change it. Then don't do it again. Make sure it's a good one. It's your duty to keep your password safe on XDO, and other sites you use.

And yes, making unauthorised access to another user's account is illegal. We don't want to investigate if you had permission or not - that's what the courts are for. Just a reminder to look after yourselves online :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yappoe:
Hi Guys, I'm just frustrated and would like to share my experience buying Galaxy Note in an online market in China. (I will go to appropriate forum for help on the problems I'm still having later).

The moral of the story is: If you are not a Chinese-language user, buy an android device at a Chinese online market at your own risk!

My wife and I are non Chinese-language users who live in China. I have a G-Tab P1000 and am extremely happy with it. Thus, I got my wife - an iPhone user - interested to get G-Note N7000 since the day it was announced. So last week, I bought it at a Chinese online market (Taobao) for her early birthday present. It came with Hungarian User Manual.

It arrived Monday (2 days ago). After started it up and changed the language to English, I was shocked and upset! A lot of Samsung specific Apps were missing. I got even more worried when the Android Market was not even there! Instead, there was a Mandarin version Market App customized for Chinese not even developed by Google. In addition to that, there were several other default chinese apps including the QQSecurity, Dolphine Browser in Chinese, Chinese bookstore, etc (all in chinese characters).

Later I found out that I was missing: Android Market, Samsung Apps Market (and all the 'hub' things), Gmail App, Kies connectivity, S Memo (Just found out last night because S-Planner and Screen Capture were "unexpectedly Stopped") and Who-knows-what-I-miss. There is a notification of "Firmware update available" but upon installation and reboot, it failed to 'write' so I couldn't update my firmware either - (and did I mentioned I couldn't connect to Kies?)

So I, a newbie who had not done a single successful rooting (I tried and failed miserably with Z4root and other things before), spent Monday night and the whole day yesterday -- rooted my G-tab(as an experiment) and my wife's G-Note, learned how to block the Chinese Apps using Gemini App Manager, installed Android Market successfully (That's when I learned I have to install the .apk in the /system/app directory, installed Samsung Apps (by far the easiest of all). Only one thing (I think) I haven't been able to install successfully: S MEMO.

Now, I can connect to Kies, but I have this message on it: "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies"

The product was sent from Shenzhen (the capital of tech and hacks in China, and these people tried to be nice for the Chinese-language users by replacing some English apps with Chinese Character apps, but they didn't do it correctly. I guess they didn't even bother understanding why S-memo is so important, and now I'm missing the most important thing, the reason people buy G-Note: S MEMO!!!!

Now on, I'll be off searching for S Memo's .apk and .odex. or Should I just flash it with the new 2.3.6 ROM?

That's another question in another forum I guess.

P.S. Thanks to everyone's posts in this forum website and thegalaxytabforum

I have done all those above by going through many different posts. Great postings!

Yappoe.

Just root it then install cwm then flash a euro rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
I would perhaps just flash the hong kong rom.

It doesn't have the samsung apps / hubs? I've been trying to get them - they aren't on the HK rom.

S-memo is though, as are the main things I care about.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
As long as the hardware is good and it isn't bricked, youre totally fine. And it seems that is the case. Just root it and flash any ROM with a high number of replies. You'll be blown away with the outcome.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] slaydog:
Not surprised that the Google apps are missing, especially the Market. I'm sure you have heard of China's love affair with Google!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aussiebum:
Next time arrange a trip to Hong Kong and get it there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nbass668:
ahhh don't worry.. this is a very small issue... I got into this before.. just root and install a new fresh ROM... problem solved easily... rooting and flashing a new ROM shouldn't take more than 15mins
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ShaggyDragon:
Not exactly horrific. Flash a new ROM and done. Many devices here in Dubai are also without the official market. You can simply sideload the market app.

I'd hate to see what you'd think of a really horrific situation.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nbass668:
exactly.. we have the same issues here in KSA.. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yappoe:
UPDATE: Got it flashed with German ROM

It's WORKING....LOVE THE PHONE!!!

Here are the steps I did to make my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 work after a scary day:

I found a place to download firmware at: h**p://fus(dot)nanzen(dot)se/

(from Hoffighter's posting) http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1350960

I downloaded Fus Check Downloader 2.1 and downloaded Firmware N7000XXKK9 (for Germany). It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file

I extracted the .zip file generated from decoding file to a folder and I got

"N7000XXKK9_N7000OXAKK9_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md 5" file.

I downloaded Odin3 1.85 (search "odin3 1.85" in XDA Dev forum)

opened Odin3 1.85, attach the file .md5 to the PDA field on Odin.

I went to download mode on mt G-Note (Power + home + Volume down)

and click start. It took about 6 to 7 minutes to do the flashing,

and I got my brand new Galaxy Note working!!! I lost my root access, but I got all the apps I installed earlier back.

Thanks for all the good postings, guys! :D:D:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kipue:
Glad to hear you have fixed your issues.

As a (too) late word of caution, I would never ever buy that kind of expensive and sensitive piece of electronics from Taobao! Here in China, it is very important to be able to look with your own eyes to make sure this kind of small issues aren t here :)

[Motorola Droid 3] nikkopk:
hello everyone!

that´s the first time ever I´m creating a threat at this forum but that´s not my first time here at all..

I´ve been using XDA since I got my HTC Tytn II back in 2008 hahaha since then i´ve changed phones lots of times, and never got any problem to find the resolution of all my problems at all.

But know for the first time I got myself in a situation where I don´t see anyone having the same kind of problem.

Well , firt of all : I live in brazil and of course we don´t have verizon here.

Two : I got a Droid 3 from Ebay.com today and comes with all the manuals, sim card, instructions card and all the stuff I should need to activate the phone.

I know it´s locked to be used only in verizon, I´m totally ok to buy a unlocking code from the websites, and I don´t intend to use verizon´s sim card over here.

My carrier here is TIM, and that´s the one I´ll be using.

The problem is.. I can´t even get in to the android´s home screen! the phone ask me to do an activation first... where I click the icon "activation" and all I got is an "busy" line signal . there is no place for tapping IMEI unlock code, there is no way of getting in to the system´s configuration to root it , use wi-fi... I mean.. I can´t use the android system functionality at all!

Please someone gimme some light!

I don´t know what to do!

Any help will be valid
[Motorola Droid 3] eww245:
When at the first screen tap starting from the top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left. That will bypass the activation
[Motorola Droid 3] nikkopk:
I don´t see a way of doing what you say... Or maybe I didn´t got it..

Ill show what are the options I have

that´s the first screen I have.

If i click the green droid it goes to the second screen :

Where I can now click in BACK or Activate

After clicking the activate it goes here :

and now I can only hear a line signal where nothing happens

Any ideias?
[Motorola Droid 3] eww245:
At the welcome to Droid3 screen it is a `hidden` way to bypass it. Just below the status bar left then right, and above select language then above emergency call.

300!!
[Motorola Droid 3] reimer1:
Try this

go to youtube

and search for

Skipping Motorola Droid Activation --- No Contract Cell Phones

Have fun!
[Motorola Droid 3] nikkopk:
thanks guys! but now...

Well I did by passed the activation screen, but now I´m having troubles to unlock it

By mistake I tried several times to insert my SIM PIN code in a screen believing it was right... when actually think that was the unlocking screen...

There was no numbers saying the attempts I have left , so I tried 3 or 4 times different passwords then I sadly got the "subsidy" locking screen.

That is freaking me out! i´ve reading a lot around here and some other forums ppl saying I can only unlock it with a special verizon code now once I got the subsidy lock....

So I was wondering if maybe I could trust someone here to call verizon from U.S and give my IMEI number...

Of course I´ll check first with the ebay seller if he could do it for me...

What you guys think? any suggestions ?

That would be very nice. A little sad I couldn't upgrade to the GS II but I think I can shell out for a new phone next year and a quad core Galaxy S would fit the bill.

I kinda want a galaxy Nexus, I missed out on the N1 so I do want a pure google device but samsung just gets it so right. Can't wait to see what they do with ICS.

[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
I this going to be the future of Android, constant hardware updates that totally outdo the previous model in a matter of months, its already a fragmented nightmare, coders cant cope with dual core, let along quad, to be honest I am getting fed up with the constant changing and new models all the time, getting ridiculous
[Galaxy S II General] bsglan:
na its for tablets. a dual A15 with A7 more likely.
[Galaxy S II General] bentez2003:
Then don't upgrade! you forget the other millions who didnt update this year and will be looking at 2012 for the latest and greatest. Where is the sense in wanting an Apple like crawl in progression. Android gives companies like Samsung the freedom to concentrate on the hardware. It can only be a good thing for the consumer. What I take from your post is "WWAaaAaa my fones not the bestest anymore!!11!!"
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
While I do agree that it is somewhat pointless at this point in time, it's a common misconception that newer CPUs = more power usage. By that logic, a Core i7 will consume more power than the Core 2 Quad, which it does not.

CPU manufacturers control power consumption in a number of ways. The most common is a die shrink, manufacturing the CPU at a smaller level. The Exynos is a 45nm chip, and the next generation is supposed to be 28nm. Thus, we can expect power consumption to stay the same, or even decrease.

The other way is through the use of core gating. The OS simply shuts off the cores that are not in use, and wakes them up when they are needed.

Hopefully this helps to clear up some of the misunderstandings regarding CPUs and power consumption.
[Galaxy S II General] buxz777:
quad core has already been stated to be more battery friendly and the tegra3 chips is very clever only using more cores when needed and even having a stealth 5th core for mega low idle speeds :-)

obvously the exynos is not a tegra3 but i am sure samsung will do some clever stuff too

quad core will be awesome , i am happy with my dual core sgs2 so wont upgrade for a while ive also bought extras etc so its not worth upgrading for me , however that doesnt stop quad core from being gooooooooooood :-)

have you seen the gfx power it will bring , the extra camera capabillities it allows the manufactuers to use , the speed that the browser will work , how smooth the ui transisitions and scrolling will be even when multi tasking , it also brings support for up to 2gb of ram which alone is great stuff everyone knows the only thing better then ram is more ram

i think if we want our mobile to be proper mobile computers connected to bluetooth keyboards and usb hardrives then linked up to hdmi or dlna while doing back ground tasks , followed by some high end intensive 3d gaming with a bluetooth pad over hdmi while still doing background tasks , encoding high quality media on the fly and editing it without having to wait an age for it to finalise then qua core is a great thing as is the way that tech is moving so fast

the only problem i can see is fragmentation as things move so quick

its got to make it hard for devs etc which in the long turn could damage the platform a bit , however i am sure it will come to the point it will smooth out and tech wont accelerate so fast , maybe? lol :-)

nvidia have a road map and it shows that they will be releasing a new cpu/gpu combo each year for at least the next 3-4 years before they think we will be at mobile maximum potenial , so get ready for this tradition to carry on for a while yet :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
Sadly I think this fragmentation might become a very big problem in the future, and is one area where Apple is unfortunately right.

Look at PC Gaming. A lot of people buy PCs not knowing exactly what the PC they bought at capable of. When it fails to run Battlefield 3 at an acceptable framerate they are not going to be happy.

For us techies, it's easy to know that you need at least a GTX 560Ti or something, but for Joe Sixpack out there they obviously don't know these things.

I think perhaps Google should enforce some sort of system requirement rating system. Give it a number scale to make it simple. So maybe the SGS2 scores 9/10, and Contract Killer requires a phone with at least 7 to run smoothly. So Joe Sixpack who bought a Galaxy 3 GT-i5800 that scores a 3 doesn't get all pissed off.

Hope I'm making sense here. :p
[Galaxy S II General] biffsmash:
Nah fragmentation will be fine. Pc is still the choice for gamers over Apple mac, not including consoles. Transfer that to mobile phones, and as long as the android mobiles become popular enough, games will be great for them. Everyone will just know they have to have a good mobile just like their pc.
[Galaxy S II General] bruflot:
I read somewhere it would feature the AMD's new 8 core bulldozer CPU with nVidias GTX 590 in SLI.
[Galaxy S II General] skimminstones:
i dont really understand people complaining about fragmentation. Android isnt a phone, it isnt a manufacturer, its an operating system. Do people complain the laptop market is fragmented because some computers are on xp, vista or 7? Some are on faster processors than others? Did people ever complain that symbian updated on some phones but not others?

I just dont get it, Id rather new phones/tech come out than only one release every 18 months.
[Galaxy S II General] Propergood:
Who cares? My upgrade isn't due until 2013... When I will get the top of the line handset again. I'm sure that model will be usurped within 4-6 months too.

Maybe we should all keep our phones in their original packaging like toy collectors, so they can't contribute to the disastrous fragmentation issue.

The actual effect of this media-inspired phenomena on consumers is negligible.

LOL sorry - had to point out the galaxy s III still has an 8mp camera. =p

Android phones vs iPhone is basically like PC vs console since PC has a billion different hardware and software configs where as a console as 1 (There are a few iPhones but you generally only support the latest 2-3 versions).
[Galaxy S II General] Hollow.Droid:
It's impressive how but hurt people here seem to be. A long list of excuses including fragmentation, battery life, necessity etc are all just excuses as you somehow seem to see the S2 as losing its shine. These 'faults' have been addressed numerous times so bringing them up time and time again is pointless. Smartphones, like any technology will continue to evolve. I for one hope the specs race never ceases, the more raw power manufacturers, developers and ultimately end users have, the wider the range of uses become. The S2 is extremely competent and will most likely compete with the majority of high end devices for some time. Just because you see its successor over the horizon doesn't mean you have to start defending it to the death. As for fragmentation, that's hardly a worry for the very large majority. The truth is that Android has a much larger user base than iOS. The simple reason for this is fragmentation itself. It's a double edged sword. If developers want to access this larger user base then more work is required, simple.
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
This was partly the point I was trying to make.

Because of the millions of different possible configurations for PCs, developers can't optimize for them as much as they would want to, like on consoles. For example, the PS3's GPU is mostly a Geforce 7600GT. A Geforce 7600GT on a PC would CHOKE playing Battlefield 3, yet a PS3 is able to handle it.

Of course, I guess one could also argue that most android app devs would not need to make these kind of hardcore software optimizations anyway, except for in a few special cases.

[Galaxy S II General] IOnlyEatJunkFood:
That! + I really think the old 80s-90s battle between Macintoshes and PCs is back again, this time iPhone vs Android. Let's see how things develop in the near future, but I really think that the one-model-one-SO business model is going to fail again. Things will settle down for Android as they did for DOS/Windows PCs back then.
[Galaxy S II General] UnwiredDroid:
can't resist on this! :D

The S2 will perform will, as long as Samsung will give a serious update like Android 4.x (next to ice cream) plus third-party custom ROM will make our lovely S2 "king of the hill) status...

[Galaxy S II General] Tricky103:
Really. The performance gain from the sgs1 to the sgs2 is massive. The gain from the sgs2 to the sgs3 will also be massive it will almost be unfathomable (that is fathomable without the fathom). I for one am eagerly awaiting the sgs3, needless to say my pre- order is pending.
[Galaxy S II General] puiradu2009:
God help us!

Despite all the rumors I'm sure it will be a beast who will set a new standard among the smart phones.

I'm almost sure that Samsung will not disappoint us. Galaxy S was more like a test version but I think they learned a lot and they provided us Galaxy SII who is indeed a real progress. I'm sure that Galaxy SIII will be a master piece. My mission will be harder cause I don't want to give away my Galaxy SII. This is why I start saving money for the father of all the phones, the upcoming Galaxy SIII.

I hope you guys think the same!
[Galaxy S II General] Xerovius:
gays? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] IOnlyEatJunkFood:
No, I don't really think that way. I don't want to upgrade my phone every year. When the new SGSIII is on the market we'll be already awaiting an upcoming Galaxy Nexus 2 or whatever... I can't be saving money for a great phone every now and then when I already have a great phone.
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
I get a new phone every time I perceive the next thing will do what I do with a phone better. To be honest going toward the nexus 1 most times the new hardware felt like a nice improvement. The N1 itself would mark the first time I was pretty happy with my hardware. Side by Side with this phone it got beat pretty much everywhere and yet held up pretty well. I find myself at this point not really caring what is coming down the pipe. Didn't think it would ever happen but there it is, I think I might actually be satisfied with my phone. This isn't to say I won't upgrade, chances are I will but I can see the writing on the wall. In the not too distant future I'm not going to care anymore.

No need for quad core even most apps or software hardly even use dual core let alone quad would be nice for battery saving due to increased efficency and maybe some clock speed. Cant wait for the transformer prime though im getting that bad boy the second it comes out.
