[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DSD99:
As with a lot of other people in this thread my main problems are the buttons.

ALL of them are terrible.

A phone with a massive screen great for videos and games and samsung seem to have decided to make it almost useless in landscape mode.

The power and volume buttons are exactly where my left hand is when holding it in landscape and are waaaaay too easy to press.

And i really want to meet the person who decided capacitive buttons are a good idea so i can kick him in the nuts.

I am sick of closing an app or having a menu come up because the base of my thumb catches the buttons when im pressing the screen. hard buttons are and always will be better.

Another issue is the S-Pen and the fact that i cant calibrate it. It never presses where ive pressed the tip always a little bit ahead of it, or to the side or behind it. we should be able to calibrate it how we want it to react.

Plus theres the preinstalled samsung hub apps that are just useless, slow and FC a lot.

i still love this phone i just feel that samsung dropped the ball at end with stupid little things that shouldn't have happened.

hi guys

can I change and increase the volume of the music player?

I think it's very low than other smartphone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sprintuser1977:
This is by far the best phone i have ever owned. I havent noticed any issues with mine yet other than it will not recognize my sim card and ive tried two differnt ones so im having to resort to wifi calling which sucks. Only annoyance is i am so used to the buttons on my evo3d i keep mashing the wrong places expecting a button to be there
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sportedwood:
Are you sure its the sim and that maybe you just dont have a valid APN set for your carrier?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] apprentice:
I agree with all of the above plus there is no notification LED I really miss that. Otherwise this is a cream of the crop device for me :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cesarleeds:
U can use Volume+, that will do it.

What it won´t do is to increase the volume on calls, any way to do that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] macwilson:
Yeah the power button blows unbelievably. I keep turning it on. But I imagine you just have to train yourself, assuming that's possible.

But it's always something. If the power button didn't blow I'm sure I'd notice something else that totally blows. Right now I'm unhappy with the lousy button.

Maybe later.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sameer.gupta:
fellow members.. any suggestion to this issue.

I am facing it regularly and need to restart the phone to make the keys work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cesarleeds:
Weird, i guess i would do a factory reset and start from 0 again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sameer.gupta:
Thanks will try the same. however i had posted about it in this thread in the initial days also.

I faced the issue once on the second day of use.. then didn't bother me for almost a week.

surfaced again since yesterday..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pp18:
have my Note for a month... have been loving it very much... until the stupid bug in S Memo deleted all my memos. :mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] evoloution:
This morning my phone simply shut down and wouldn't boot. The battery was charged at full yesterday, so battery drain was out of question. Pressing th power button several times did nothing.

I plugged the charger and presse dthe power button. Voila, it startes and said battery charging (80%).

Still haven't found out what happened. I blame the alarm and a hard surface for running late for my morning errands.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maniacscorpio:
Well i really love this app but i dont like its camera.. My previous phone HTC Incredible s camera was fantastic.........

& it has only 800MB ram... I thought 1Gb.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
For all you people who hate the buttons - get a case. It makes a huge difference.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bxw:
may i know how to get the alarm activated w the phone being off? my previous sony ericsson phone can work that way but not gnote

i wanted to charge my phone with the phone off (i usually charge it at night cause it goes flat every day around that time) as i was told it is better for the battery n i wish that the alarm will ring to wake me up in the morning when my phone is still off

i rely very much on phone alarms, any advice on settings or apps?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] parthpatels007:
the only problem i am facing right now is that I can't hold the device with 1 hand and open the notification bar. though there is a soln for that, but I am just saying that I can't tap the top most part of the screen without shifting my hand.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
This is a minor thing, but I was hoping the note would have an obnoxiously large antenna and get really good reception.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sunnymiu:
The UI. Samsung did not care too much about the beauty or tweaks of UI, they just leave the buttons, menu items undesigned. I am a user from HTC Desire, and HTC Sense nearly revamped all the UI items make user feels that HTC have strike for everything to make it most beautiful.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] custode:
Well, Wifi is not so powerful as other devices, in fact, is terrible :(

And is too big for "one hand use" :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] titus1:
+1 for HTC with Sense UI

The low quality Amoled display is really what I'm disappointed about.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] parthpatels007:
low quality?? do u mean u have a defect? I thought it's an industry leading display :D

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

even i think so, the wifi does operate on dual channels and antenna, but the strength isn't good enough :\
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
The wifi on my Note is faster than my Laptop, I ran a m few speedtests. Maybe yours is defective?

I consider my hands to be small and I can use it with one hand...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
Agreed. Size 5x widgets are needed both on my tab and note. I guess ICS will fix it as it comes with resizable widgets.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
I found this as a surprise myself. All phones I know are capable of alarm even when off (and I am talking of the Android phones). I don't think any app can help this, as they can't execute when the device is off. Do you really need to turn off the device? I don't think it helps with the battery. You can turn on flight mode if you don't want any calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] valkrija:
I installed CM 7.2.0 and I can not install GAPPS. When I start the phone after the flash is a market there. I log in to your account and sync in google. I start trying to market it to download an application I get an error like this: '"Application Name" could not be downloaded due to an error'

I did a wipe and nothing. Maybe I installed unsuccessfully GAPPS?

How do I fix this? Please help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrmercedes:
So I flashed this rom this week and I'm wondering if anyone else is having a problem with incoming calls? When I tried calling myself from another phone, it takes like 5 or 6 rings to get my SGSII to ring. Also the screen doesn't come on to show me who is calling. It will just vibrate... Is this a known bug?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thirdshiftdj:
Check the thread for fixes. You can also try flashing a different modem.

Now that we have 2.3.4 that lets us delete the bloatware, is it ok to delete it and still be able to update?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbesta:
My bloat is all listed as system apps, so the only way I can remove is via titanium backup. I have backed everything up, uninstalled it. When its time to update I will restore, update and then remove again.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieljamie:
Did you do this with Titanium Free or have you paid for it?

Can you explain exactly the process? Do you backup, then freeze? Freeze then backup? It confuses me...

I want to go through and remove the bloat, but I want to do it "right".
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
If you freeze, you don't have to backup. Freezing only makes the app not run, it doesn't uninstall...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yyz71:
Just be carefull what you delete! You will get alot of force closes :( there's a thread on this.. If you got ur phone running right you could even move system apps without any problems.. Just be sure to BACKUP ur ****:)

Sent from your wifes bedroom :-)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juxtapose519:
You can only Freeze apps with the paid version of Ti Backup, but I would personally recommend it. Deleting stuff can be bad news if you don't know what you're deleting. Plus, you forfeit your ability to do firmware updates (without flashing). It won't remove the bloatware from internal storage, but it will at least stop it from starting up and using memory. And if you freeze something important, you can always unfreeze it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbesta:
I paid for the full version. Initially I froze things a couple at a time and kept rebooting to make sure all was good. Then once I froze everything I wanted to I waited a week, then uninstalled all frozen apps.

These are the ones I have uninstalled with no adverse effects so far (R800i locked to 3 UK)

Obviously what works for me, may not work for you. You might even be using facebook and spotify. Just backup everything and sync it to dropbox before you start playing.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieljamie:
Thankyou, I appreciate the advice..

How do I best move system things to SD card?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbesta:
There is a guide to link2sd on here somwhere. Previously I was using the paid version of Apps2SD. Although I think you can move apps to the SD using titanium backup.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieljamie:
Wow. Bought Titanium Backup Pro. Synced with Dropbox (not even on WIFI but who cares). Ordered them by size. Converted some of the games to user apps. Moved to SD card. 115MB space on internal! WOW!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brochador:
yeah OS version, 2.3.4.. I lost the 'more games' on our launcher, and i think that's the fun & downloads, good thing i created a back up..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Alpha Gamer:
You guys realise I meant apps that are actualy uninstallable, right? Not stuff you can get rid of with TB?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbesta:
As I said in my first post. All of my bloat is system apps and can only be removed with titanium backup.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Alpha Gamer:
Then why do mine have an "uninstall" option?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbesta:
Good question, and one that interests me. I have an R800i sim locked to 3 UK. The stuff I listed along with the games is considered by me to be bloat. Yet all of them are system apps. Leaving me unable to remove them, or move to the SD card.

I have since converted and /or removed them using titanium backup.

Do you have uninstall options for the items I listed. What phone do you have and is it provider locked, or sim free?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Alpha Gamer:
Out of the ones you listed, just UEFA, What'sapp, Wisepilot, Hotshots and 2 Music Unlimiteds. I don't even have some of the bloat you have though.

It's an R800i, sim free
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbesta:
Sim free is seeming the better option, as you can unlock the bootloader, and you get less bloat. Wish I knew that before signing up for contract. Just after I got it, I noticed sim free was only £150 - £200.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Alpha Gamer:
That must have stung D=

mine was £180 from Argos.

Take out the mms.apk from galaxy s 2 (/system/app) and adb push it to your nexus or manually do it with root explorer. Idk if it'll work but it does for most phones

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohan32:
you dont install apks in cwm, you do it in android.

go to settings-> applications, and check the unknown sources box

then go to the file manager built into android, navigate to the apk, and then click on it. you will be prompted to install the app.

hit install and it will be installed.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
"File Manager" is not built in to the version Sony Ericsson uses. :( Glad to see it on the TouchPad though. Let me ask: Is there a "notepad" or "notes" app that is supposed to be built in? SE didn't include one of those either.

I was lucky enough to snag a TF101 on Black Friday. Stood in line for 3 hours with all the other nuts. :p

Anyway, I quickly rooted and flashed a new kernel to overclock. I'm loving this tablet so far. I haven't tried different roms yet, I'm aware of those which remove the bloatware Asus puts on. At the moment I'm still content with stock rooted. I want to remove the bloatware though. I searched but couldn't find a list of what's safe to remove and what's not. If someone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
Theres alot of the devs now removing all apks they can and putting them in a zip incase people want them maybe look at whats i them and you will know what is safe to remove :)

Or look at the dev threads they usually list what they have removed although some dont so have a proper look.

Not in Asus' version, but you also don't get updates in that. Just buy it on the market if you want it; it's cheap and you'll get proper updates, rather than having to wait months for bug fixes.

[HD2 General] eflobo:
Hi guys,

I have searched all over the forum and cannot find an answer to this question so apologies if I missed it.

My HD2 (Leo) suddenly lost the network signal. Couldn't connect to my operator - no phone calls or internet. Tried to soft reset and left the batteries out for a while... none worked.

After some research, I found out that my Network Type (originally set to Auto) can find the EDGE signal if I manually switch the band to GSM. Otherwise (AUTO or forced WCDMA) I come back to a useless phone (no phone calls, no internet) still missing the operator's signal.

What could be possibly going on? I have stock ROM and Radio (below) and do not remember to make anything different to change network settings... phone's been working like a charm for almost a year and a half before that!

Thank you very much in advance for any clarification!

Regards!
