@evostance

Another possibility (as yours relies on having access to a backup/nandroid as well as somehow being able to access the SDCARD partition) which some people may not have

would be Peter Alfonsos "return to stock"way

http://www.peteralfonso.com/2011/11/download-100-stock-fastboot-images-for.html

flash it via fastboot and you are golden

All you need is fastboot and the image
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TroyBoy30:
ah i got ya. so when you say stock you mean unrooted, etc? So if i never root I can simply wipe data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
I tried that and it trashed my phone, so I had to restore to the zip above and all way fixed.

I think Peter might have changed his files now but not sure
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adnan.makarevic:
guys have one problem, after i sucessdully restore the stock rom over the method i wrote i try it over fastboot with the original oem files from peter, erase system and user partition over fastboot and flash it again with the files on his site.. everything seems to work, and i finish with the setup from my device bit then i see in google account my calendar didnt sync, there is no entry for it.. :( i try to delete the account and recreate it but without success.. anybody here a idea what can ne the problem?? any suggestions how to fix that?? i dont want make the whole proceess over recovery, i like this method more while they are really empty images and not a nandroid backup..

many thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adnan.makarevic:
and a seccond problem.. when im listening music over power amp, when the screen goes off, the sound didnt play correct, like a scratch on a cd, jumps little bit.. here any sugestions?? (sorry for my english)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
I had the same issues hence why I wrote this tutorial as doing it this way was the only guaranteed way of getting it back to perfect stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adnan.makarevic:
ok, im flashing now the one from paul obrian and go then back to stock recovery.. ;) thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thyrus:
right then - officially from google

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omrij:
Thank you

been waiting for official images
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Excellent. I'll update when home
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Nice of them to include the volume fix :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ancostel:
anybody care to explain the "how to" a lil' bit more than JBQ? I'm kinda lost w/ fastboot commands :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adnan.makarevic:
hi there..

i report a small bug whit poweramp when the screen goes off, its very easy to fix it:

- start poweramp and go to settings

- press on audio engine

- press advanced twaks

- press audio buffer size

- i choose **large (+250ms)**

after them it plays very well.. ;)

So, when I restore my Galaxy Nexus with this method, I will have my full warranty back?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazzi76:
<rant>

So today I tried to use the S-pen to write in landscape mode and it is consistently 2-3mm below or in front of the tip. Port

This is ridiculous.

I have also tried using other Galaxy Note demo units in CPW and observe the same thing.

As a long time user of some recent Tablet PCs hp tm2, acer1820p, thinkpad x201t, thinkpad x220t, 3 of which use the same Wacom technology as in the note, I find the omission of a calibration utility absolutely crazy.

The line should fall exactly under the tip - period.

This is the most natural way to write. That is how a normal pen works and how Tablet PCs with Wacom technology work.

Anything other than that is unnatural.

We should not having to adjust to the S-pen.

The S-pen should adjust to us the owners of the device.

This now makes the S-Pen useless to me as it find it impossible to write with this thing...

</rant>
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazzi76:
Just noticed this bit of info in another thread...

I wonder if it's possible to disable this feature as I want to write with the note on a flat surface.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
It changes based on your dominant writing hand. I can write notes for a long period of time very neatly, maybe your device is defective?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mdalacu:
I also have the same problem.:(

It really needs a calibration utility, but with the SDK that Samsung released, little chance to accomplish this.:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazzi76:
No it's not - I tested with other demo units to be sure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kunalparwani:
True, and I feel the deviation away from the tip is not even constant... However, I managed to write quite a bit without issues if I do not look at the tip while writing. Also you can choose a particular point on the screen where you can tap the stylus to remember where exactly the point falls...

Hope Samsung fixes this quickly...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] miko3d:
Calm down, the spen is far from being unusable, it works nice, just make sure the accelerometer kicks in when you change the screen orientation so the phone is aware of it on a flat surface, otherwise yes, it will be off by a margin.

Its an extra step to do and it could be better for sure but it works
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bokko!:
I have also noticed that the S pen needs some calibration.

My S pen is also out of line with the display.

Strangely this only occurs when creating a note or when drawing.

Changing the settings from right to left handed does not solve my problem, but just makes it worse.

As I have understood the drawing line should start within one mm next to the S-pen (on the left or the right side depending on the settings).

Visually it should be like this (the dot is the S pen on the screen. The R is the place where the drawing line should start for right hand settings. The L is the same as the R, but for left hand settings)

My S pen does this... very annoying.

.......When i use the S pen on the keyboard to type or swype the dot is perfectly calibrated.

Holy Crap, just noticed that it is exactly the same when typing or swyping….. aaargh it gets more annoying every time because I aware of it now….
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kebong:
Then that means its the smemo...

Hopefully with the sdk out, someones gonna make a better alternative.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kromosto:
my first meeting with note was today and spen was useless. it is good for taking small notes and sketching small graphs but thats all. spen needs calibration needs better hand writing recognition and a different app for meetings. until they are made spen is only for making fun pictures and share them on social network or taking small notes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mihaig:
Holding angle

I noticed that if you hold the pen at 90 degrees the tip is indeed 2mm below or to the right of writing.

However! I f you hold it at 60-70 degress - like you would normally do when writing (sllightly tilted towards you and also tilted to the right) - the tip it's perfectly aligned with the writing. Try this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
I've done some experimenting, and from what I can gather, the sensor (or rather capacitive element) is not at the tip, but back some. The device guesses at where the tip must be compared to the location of the capacitive element, based on right/left handedness, and the typical position/angle people hold the stylus at. I've made and attached an illustration showing how it works for right handed setup.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CaseyLeo:
I have been using the Galaxy Note for 2 weeks, initially I have no s-pen accuracy problem. It's only these few days I realised that the s-pen is writing 2-3mm away from the point I'm writing.

Googled a lot of forums, and seems like no one is providing an effective solution. So I did a restart on my Galaxy Note, and now it is back to normal.

Hope my contribution helps. Sure hope you enjoy your Galaxy Note, because I enjoyed mine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sagie:
You're right, and thank you for writing this.

This makes for a pretty annoying offset when working with the pen in any orientation other than -45° relative to the horizon.

What if I feel more comfortable working at +45°? I hope that now that the S-Pen SDK is available a calibration utility will be made.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] IcyAirs:
I found a quirk on my Note (on Cassie's lite rom 2.2) that fixed all calibration issues for me.

I noticed that when I was writing, it consistantly showed up to the right of the pen nib, and it went even further right when I changed the handedness setting. On a whim, I turned my note to landscape to write and it seemed to align perfectly.

Thinking about it a bit, I re-enabled auto-rotation and EVERYTHING was fixed. Seems like one of the issues is that locking rotation fixes screen in portrait, but touchscreen layer locks in orientation that you deactivated rotation in.

tl;dr - reenable autorotation (then lock in desired orientation if necessary) to fix some if not all s-pen calibration issues
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cube48:
@IcyAirs: I can confirm that, getting to it independently on your post.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
I take it you guys have checked the Pen settings ~ Settings/Pen Settings/Dominant Hand.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hoezay:
By Jove you're right !

This worked for me.Mindboggling.

( ROMOW V2 by mowmo )
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fjdu:
In my case, restarting the system usually solves the problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jjamain:
Just found out how to auto calibrate the S Pen. It works for me.

http://jjpda.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-calibrate-galaxy-note-s-pen.html
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naimmkassim:
+1..i just going to comment the same step which prove to improve my SPen. Its like refresh system each time you change from landscape to normal position. No need to restart your phone. Just make sure the auto rotation always ON.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bahadir70:
jjamain,

I checked the page unforunatelly I could not succed, it does not help fpr me. Also if you enter the code *#0*# there is section spen test, you can check your pen calibration. I have the same problem with my spen. The difference between touch point and actual screen is app 2 mm below right of touch point.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jjamain:
What's your current rom version? you need to upgrade at least to KL3 and above.

It's known bugs for lower version rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] macwilson:
It's needs a calibration utility, and a touch toggle, and a software button toggle.

I believe this is a very high quality pen/digitizer made by Wacom, if i'm not mistaken. I would imagine even Wacom would not be happy. Wacom's software has always been excellent. Their products are in no way incomplete, glitchy (mostly), or lame as is this present iteration.

But, it's new. Samsung will most likely improve on it (or drop it altogether, whichever comes first)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shrinath_m2:
The pen is auto calibrating.

The pen knows how to calibrate itself if you keep moving around the corners as mentioned here...

jjpda<dot>blogspot<dot>com/2012/01/how-to-calibrate-galaxy-note-s-pen.html

I was frustrated too, but after doing the following, it started behaving like - ummm - a pen!!

So,

Open keypad, type *#0*# > spen test > trace the corners really well and do the test 3 to 4 times.

If all boxes become green, it says passed. Repeat few more times.

It should be fixed by then.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrlo:
Try TouchScreenTune utility.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] quadmux:
The problem is the SChoice apps.

Do you see the same issue with the keyboard? I dont. But all my schoice apps have the issue.

I think its more coding than calibration.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanwal.diku:
yeah mine s-pen is always 2 mm below the tip , whenevr i try to use it... i have one other problem also ... sometimes my spen registres the action ( drwaing on the screen) even when i am not touching the screen .. almost 2 mm away from the screen... it causes a lot of frustration..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nicepal:
Hmm this 45deg stuff seems to work. I just tried on S Memo, 45 deg writes on pen's tip. Any other angle is out.

But tt 2mm away fr screen is really a frustration. Till now sometime i still get tt problems, be it on S Mem or tipping on keyboard.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] soloilmeglio:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rayan:
I've been using ICS (MidNote 2.0) for the last week or so and I noticed that all of the SPen calibration issues are gone!

Also the SPen responsiveness is almost 100%, no more lag!

Another cool thing I've noticed is that while using SNotes, you can lay your hand on top of the screen while jotting and it will not interfere like before!

Very nice indeed!

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JayDee78:
Using latest gb stock rom (lc1) and still having loads of issues with the calibration. Not as much as with kk4, but not good enough for my taste :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Notified:
I never had any issues with the S-Pen, not stock and not on Darky ROM 3.3/Franco Kernel 9.

But mine only works perfectly when the pen is hold in an 45 ° - angle to the display and the end has to point directly to the lower right corner. With that positioning it's perfect in portrait- and landscape-mode :). Everything else is quite off.

All with right handed-setting.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
When using mine with LectureNotes in ICS, holding the pen at an approx 45 degree angle, it's perfectly accurate. If you're trying to write with the pen perpendicular to the screen, then you've got problems that the phone can't help with.

Ya'll must have defective hardware.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] willstay:
I usually find this problem when I try to write on top of just captured image (print screen) but perfectly aligned in photo editor. Looks like there is problem in app.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ahmedmh5:
I think it related to the kirnal , i use cf kirnal and it work fine than other kernal
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] afhum:
i found a working solution!! (at least for me)

I first noticed that the S Pen got inaccurate right after I flashed the Stock ICS ROM (XXLPY).

I am left-handed by the way. So initially, before I flashed to Ice Cream Sandwich, it was already set as Left Handed under the S Pen settings > Dominant Hand.

I tried the TouchScreenTune, it worked but I was still on trial. I was about to buy it but I had a problem with my PayPal. So, I experiment a bit more. I changed to Right Handed under Dominant Hand... tried to write with my right hand and it was accurate! So i reverted back to Left Handed under the Dominant Hand settings, and it is now ACCURATE!!!

So I guess it just needs a 'reset' in a way.. U get me? :D

So basically, I mean simply, revert the Dominant Hand settings to the opposite, and then revert it back to your actual Dominant Hand. Basically in my case, From L to R --> Try on S Memo --> Then back again from R to L --> Try again on S Memo.. and yayy! All good now. :)

I hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NikosPx:
unbelievable but it works.

I am left handed too and got the same problem after flashing ICS. The pen became almost useless for me.

Thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vampireblood:
you can try to open s-note,open a new file, put the note in landscape mode, write something, and then put it in portrait mode and write another thing...look if the s-pen is now calibrated...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
Touchscreen Tune for Note in the market. Can calibrate pen offsets in portrait and landscape. Really made a huge difference

Recent update gave it CM9 compatibility for those that care
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shantanubarik:
Perfect and thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shorty66:
Touchscreen tune is great.

It still needs a calibration for the pressure sensitivity though. I dont have to press really hard but as the pen is detected while hovering over the screen i think it should be perfectly possible to write with next to no pressure like with other wacom pens.

Thats not the case though.

To the developer of TouchscreenTune: Please include settings for pressure and i will buy the app right away.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeriz:
Im using a pen from my old lenovo x61t and its more sensitive so maybe its samsungs stylus that is less sensetive
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexanderbooth:
I used to have this problem, but samsung have obviously set the pen to work a certain way if you hold it the right way its always accurate. Even better now with the ics on screen positioning when the s pen is close to the screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shorty66:
not for a leftie on cm9....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] OrionBG:
TouchScreen Tune is a wonderful program but please bare in mind that it only works on Samsung kernels! Some of the custom kernels for GB and The one in CM9 does not support it!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NikosPx:
Yes it works as I wrote few days ago. But only till the next reboot. Then I had to "calibrate" it again.

So I bought the touchscreen tune and its fine now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flash05:
this happens to me. dxlc2. stock GB.

this isnt always true.. there are times i need to hold the pen 45 or -45 degrees. on flat surface.

will try touchscreen tune
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] REVERSiN:
guys you dont understand it's supposed to do this i have thought about it too long, they meant doing so that you can see what you type if you angle the pen more the gap will become less and if you right normally you'll be able to see your writting it's not calibration mistake it's built that way to help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flash05:
^ i doubt my friend. the illustration i posted sometimes opposite. 45 and -45 degrees to correct. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shorty66:
Doesn`t matter if supposed to or not. It still needs to calibratable.

The fact that most wacom pens on other tablets are a lot more precise might only be a calibration / driver problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flash05:
oh shoot touchscreen tune requires root. im stock unrooted. any other solution?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] afhum:
Yeah I am glad that it works on me n others too hehe. But yeah.. unfortunately it needs to be 'recalibrated' again after reboot. BUT.. You can actually just skip the part where I said you should test the S Pen on other apps like the S Memo after switching the dominant hand. I realised that u can just go to the pen settings n just switch dominant hand back n forth once n thats about it. No need to test it out. Cheap solution i would say :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kamranhaghighi:

Theme question

I just made this account also so i cant post yet. Im using beast mod for about a day also and i've noticed that the theme kinda gets in the way a little. ex. the status bar tabs the txt is nearly invisible, in the Calendar the little red line the shows you the time in reference to your schedule is black and is a little hard to find sometimes. Is there an un-themed version of beastMOD or a way return the theme to stock colors ? By the way beastmod rocks!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Supraman21:
Ive noticed that the Galaxy Nexus can only record video at a choppy 24fps. I was wondering if there is a way to increase it to 30fps. This phones has more than enough power to do so and I'm not quite understanding why it is so low.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
from what I had read of the specs on GSMArena, the camera is supposed to be capable of 30fps.

of course, GSMArena have been wrong before...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Film runs at 24fps. Bluray also runs at 24fps to match the film so that you don't get any nasty 3:2 pull down or audio speed up due to frame rate conversion.

That's no reason why the Nexus should default to 24fps, but it does explain why the frame rate is present.

Just out of interest - when you go to the movie theatre do you complain that it's "choppy" because of the 24fps shutter?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
People upgraded the Droid 3's video fps from 20 to 30 so it shouldn't be too hard to do for the Nexus.

im sure we'll see something when the dev community kicks in as the phone is released
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CanaganD:
It's because film is recorded on proper 'film' which allows soft blurrs to occur. On a digital camera that has been converted into video duty, low frame rates makes things look like claymation (simply because the camera is taking 'photos').
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Makes no difference. Those "photos" still contain motion blur. What do you think the individual frames of film are?

Also many modern "films" are shot digitally at 24fps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbutters:
Even though 24fps is good enough for film, wanting to record at 30fps is not an unreasonable request. 30fps, or more specifically 29.976 fps is a VERY common framerate, in fact this has been the color NTSC video standard since 1953.

It definitely should be supported, as it gives recordings a certain "feel" just like the 24fps rate gives a certain "feel".

My guess is that someone will figure it out if they haven't already for this device like they have on other devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Oh, I agree, as I said in my post I was explaining why that "odd" frame rate was present, not arguing against 30fps being available.

I would expect to find 24, 25, and 30fps options. Not having my Nexus yet I wouldn't know.

It would also be nice if it supported 60fps at 720, but I haven't seen anything to confirm this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bedoig:
I thought the specs listed 30fps @ 720p, 24fps @ 1080p. Not sure where I saw that, have to go look.
