[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waynecw:
Hi,

I came from HTC desire, previously when I used with my office exchange, it managed to sync emails, calendar and contacts perfectly. However, when I changed to SGN, the following situation happen.

- Modify or cancel event from Outlook, phone doesn't get sync (even I sync manually few times), it is still displaying old info.

- Modify contact in Outlook, for example mobile number or name. Phone doesn't get sync and still display the old info.

- Modify contact in phone, for example company, Outlook doesn't get the updated info.

All above are done with process where sync is "triggered" successfully.

Did any of you encounter this problem? Any resolution?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxh:
I can't help you, but I'm having problems with email in my exchange account. I have everything set up the same as my last several Android devices, but I can't reliably receive new emails. Sometimes they'll be delayed by a day or so. It's almost like the email client is not using cellular data to update and only using wifi when the device is on. Anyone else have this problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waynecw:
Sounds like account & frequency settings than an issue. Have you verified them? Are you on mobile data all the time?

I'm finding that on occasion it stops syncing mail.. the moment you reboot OR go in and manually ask it to refresh it starts doing it normally again no problems...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iivuch:
I am also having the same problem .. However manually refreshing - sometimes still does not work. It is indeed - very annoying .. I believe the problem is in the Email.apk ..

still no solution found, apart from using different E-mail clients off the market, which work with various success ..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxh:
I've been through the settings many times but still have the problem. It just decides to stop syncing sometimes.

Although a bit weird, but after flashing this rom (Cassie's XtraLiteRom KKA ThunderBolted! V2.2) it seem to work fine so far. Still observing and hope it does really work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iivuch:
I am also using the same ROM - there was no improvement for me. I believe the problem is in the E-mail client. The one we have is version 3.0.0.1. Before on another Android phone I used 2.3.5. I tried to replace the new one with the old one - and then it works. The problem is however that the old one is not scaling up to fit the large Gnote screen. It is a lower resolution.

I tried many other e-mail clients - K-9, Kaiten (both of them could not connect to my exchange server (2010)), Moxier - for some reason crashed my contacts and then I tried TouchDown - which is kind-a good and in terms of connectivity - all worked fine - but there were some integration points that were not fit for my taste.

What I ended up doing was a bit weird - but so far works nicely. I downloaded Google Calendar Sync - which takes your Outlook calendar and syncs it with your Google Calendar. Then I downloaded GO Contact Sync Mod - and that does the same for the Outlook and Gmail contacts. So I have both of them running on my PC and they automatically sync Calendar and Contacts. This way - my phone get them through the Google account and .. a bonus is that I have a backup :)

To check e-mails - I use the IMAP functionality of K-9 as my exchange server doubles up as IMAP too. For the time being - that's OK for me - and I will be hoping that Google will fix up this E-mail client in the Ice Cream Sandwich .. let's hope it is not I SCREAM sandwich :)

Alternatively - one can use the old E-mail client - 2.3.5 .. for Contacts and Calendar only and use K-9 for the mail .. It is really a matter of preference :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waynecw:
I noticed that this may work. Instead of using push notification, use interval sync. This seems to solve it?

It's really weird and I still can't figure out the root cause.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iivuch:
That's a good clue - it appears to fix it!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xircoms:
Iam using SGN with 500+ emails everyday! absolutely no problem at all. I have been user of XE, XL, Sensation etc I personally think this issue arises when data connectivity of the concern operator is down (GPRS / EDGE) however, on WIFI no issues at all
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waynecw:
Nope it's not the connectivity issue, it's the bug on push notification. Apparently this seems to be a bug in samsung, I didn't have issue in HTC previously.

After changing the push to interval pulling, it works perfectly fine now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senectus:
It might be related to 2.3.6 I recall having the issue on 2.3.5 and I'm pretty sure I saw it on my p1000 after I modded it.

My note is still stock.

[HTC Sensation] pranker98:
I have a kernel that i found that i want to flash. When you flash a kernel, does it replace a flashed ROM or do they combine?

Also, when you flash anything (ROM or kernel) does it replace the stock ROM or does it take a spot next to it? Can you make several spots so there can be more than one ROM? What is wiping out a ROM? If you leave a ROM, can you save your setting so when you go back you don't have to start over again? Can you back up contacts,messages, and apps from stock ROM and extract the data to the new ROM?

I AM CONFUSED :confused: :mad: :eek:
[HTC Sensation] kevinliu2336:
1. No, they "combine"

2. It replaces it when you flash

3. Yes, but its more complicated than just flashing multiple roms. There is an app but it doesn't support Sensation.

4. Wiping a ROM is just that, wiping your phone of the ROM along with all your app,data and anything else on the phone(SD card not effected).

5. Umm. I don't understand your question completely but yes flashing a new ROM over an old ROM will preserve your data but you can flash a different rom and expect it to work. For example ARHD-->ARHD(updated) is OK but ARHD --> Insertcoin wont work.

6. Yes, its called titanium backup. Look it up.:p
[HTC Sensation] pranker98:
thanks. after reading this, I stumbled on radios. what are radios?
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
Radio is what gives your phone signal. which version works best for you will depend on your location and carrier so you will just have to experiment. its generally advised that you flash the latest recommended version stated on the rom your using
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
The only thing I'd add is that for:

o If you leave a ROM, can you save your setting so when you go back you don't have to start over again?

You can do a Nandroid backup from CWM recovery, it takes a snapshot of the ROM, Kernel, Data,.. You can then play with other ROMs. Then at a later date restore the Nandroid backup from CWM and you're back at the earlier ROM.

It's extremely important that when you play with ROMs you backup a working version. It saves a lot of swearing when you lose a nice working system unintentionally. It's happened a couple of times to me and it's a bugger.

[HTC Sensation] convolution:
I am going to buy a "new" sensation from a guy on craigslist. How do I tell if a phone is new or not?

I suppose that if I turn it on and it has the "Touch the Android to begin" screen, it's new, but the guy could have simply rooted, flashed stock ROM, and unrooted the phone...

Help?
[HTC Sensation] raul602:
i would think there is really no way to tell if it's new or not besides just looking at it, anyone can factory restore it ......

If it's new i expect the booklets/box and all original packaging to come with it to prove it's new, also check for scratches in good lighting, not just screen but hte entire phone, remove the battery and see if it doesn't have a ton of lint like my phone LOL

Or you can flash the ICS ROM by Lord.

Samsung's Touchwiz is pretty similar to ICS. So you may like it.

I DID some cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe and accidentaly included data wipe too..the phone rebooted and ask for goole etc etc to be filled up but then the phone died and when i tried to reboot it. I get stuck at CM7 boot screen. I tried recovery pressing power-volume down-menu all at onece and when i try to restore back up it says E: Couldn't open directory/sdcard/nandroid/ please help me please i dont know what to do
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Did you move the nand backup elsewhere on your card or to your computer? Toggle USB storage and copy the nand backup back to the sdcard (and to the same folder).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DistantFather:
no.backup was not moved ever since i created it using nand backup.and upon checking..it is still there
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
my guess is that the rom has become corrupt (somehow), so this is what i would do:

1. wipe everything again (as if you were going to do a fresh install of new rom)

2. flash cm7

3. once everything has booted properly, reboot into recovery and try to restore the backup
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DistantFather:
Im gonna try that one out sweet...anymore suggestions or solutions or is there anyone out there who knows exactly what to do?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DistantFather:
Hoping your suggestion would solve this problem...Rebooting now after re-installing cm7......
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DistantFather:
Re-installed CM7 and phone went On..Tried to restore backup but to no avail....anyone who can suggest what to do?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
did you rename the folder of your backup? i know that the name cannot have "invalid" characters, such as asterisks and spaces.

also try reflashing your recovery and try again.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DistantFather:
I think I know what went wrong. Yesterday I used Amon Ra to wipe cache and dalvik cache and battery stats coz I've seen somewehere here in this forum that CWM recovery doest completely wipes caches so I used it but I forgot to return to CWM. I think that causes the problem "couldnt open file directory". Upon reinstalling CM7 rom, I flashed CWM and tried to restore backup and it did.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DistantFather:
Nope..I never did anything with the backup...reflashing recovery solves the problem
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
so everything is now up and running? glad to hear that :)

One thing, Nexus One will have a ics custom rom.

However if you want to change then yeah go for the Nexus S! I'm using it. I used to have the htc desire which is almost the same as the nexus one and the speed boost you get from the nexus s is very noticable. Get the Nexus S! Good luck. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] torchedlh:
If i'm willing to root and/or run CM9, is there any difference in terms of support between the Nexus S and Galaxy S I or II? Will it take longer for stable ICS builds to reach the GSII? Seems like the GSII can be had a for a bit more but is quite a bit more powerful (and therefore futureproof).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dirk:
I think the SGS2 is a no-brainer for most people, if you don't mind the larger screen.

It will get official as well as Custom support for ICS.

Using CM7, is there any way - or any app- that can hide your phone number from numbers dialed from the keypad?

eg, your number is hidden dialing some random number with keypad but NOT when dialing a friend from your contacts list.

settings > call settings > additional settings will only show / hide your number.

It would be awesome to have show / hide / show to contacts only

[G2 and Desire Z General] WTF?:
you have to keep the stock LCD density (240) set until you open wifi calling for the first time and turn the little switch thingie on.

once it's on and working, then you can change density and it will work after that! :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
But can you access the screen to switch it on and off at that point? Sometimes I need to do that, as I will accidentally unplug my ethernet cable from my laptop (which shares internet with my phone over wifi). I have to turn it on and off if the cable is unplugged long enough, or click on the "Register on T-mobile's network" popup window. If I can't do that, then I have problems!
[G2 and Desire Z General] WTF?:
No, you can't access the little cutesy screen with the slide switch unless you are at 240, that screen is the whole problem!

the workaround is to use the program LCD Resolution, which lets you change densities in about 20 seconds (the time it takes to fast reboot)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
You need to copy the bootanimation.zip to System-media folder.

I used Super Manager to do this.

1. Copy the bootanimation.zip to your phone.

2. Start Super Manager and navigate to system folder. You will get a pop-up asking if you want to mount system as r/w. Select r/w.

3. Navigate to media folder.

4. Paste the bootanimation.zip to the media folder.

5. Reboot and watch your beautiful new bootanimation.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhengod:
ROOT IT !!! i cant stress it enough once you root it turn USB Debugging on in settings>applications and download whatever bootanimation you like in and put it in your SD Card on Removable Disk F Normally bootanimations are in .zip forms so simply power off hold top volume button power button and home to get into CWM and flash as easy as that (:

I want to explain a method that actually gives me real results for resetting the batterystats after a ROM upgrade. I never thought a batterystats reset did anything and it's likely because I wasn't doing it this way. For this I use a conjunction of two things but really you could do the actually deleting of the batterystats.bin file in clockwork or by other means.

Reference Zeppelinrox's thread "Calibrating Without Downtime!" for the long version...

First, I use this Battery Calibration app from the market.

After a ROM upgrade I let my phone charge until a full charge. The Battery Calibration app helps because it'll ding which is nice.

Delete the batterystats file, and while leaving your phone plugged in, pull off the cover and reboot.

At the 2nd LG logo (i.e. - pink and white one or Backside's (?) IHO logo) pull the battery out. Sometimes I wait 5 seconds, 10 seconds 20 seconds or whenever before I pull it out- just make sure it's during that part of the boot sequence.

At some point later in the boot sequence it's recreating the batterystats.bin file in the background and presumes the battery is not charged since it's been removed.

Put your battery back in, keeping the phone still plugged in.

You may have to do this routine a few times before you can tell but what should happen is you'll have a 100% pre-reboot and after the last step it'll drop down to a lower number that will need to be charged back up.

You may want to read Zepp's post because it may help to read his instructions too.

If you see a 'please put the battery in' type message just put it in and try the instructions a few more times.

I'm regurgitating someone else's work a lot. Thank Zeppelinrox for his work. Some of my finds have been from trudging through some of his ginormous threads. I'm just trying to pull out the nuggets.
[Optimus One, P500, V Accessories] captaincrook:
Right so, I've tried this quite a bit, and I can never get to the lock screen without battery before the phone complains that I need a battery. I've inserted it after the vibration during the boot sequence but it'll show up at 100% at the lock screen.

EDIT: OK so I did something different that netted results.

I fully charged, batterystats.bin, then reboot per normal instructions. I counted 4 bananas (:P) once the pink and white LG Logo came up and pulled the battery. Instead of reinserting after vibration, I let it keep going until it asked me to insert battery. I slid it in, and the phone rebooted. I left it there and once I hit the lock screen my phone read at 99% instead of the "Charged" reading I was getting. I charged for an extra 20 minutes and my phone topped off at 4199mv.

During my trials trying to get a non-charged reading at the lock screen, I looked into Battery Monitor and I was seeing 4160mv-4197mv readings, all of them varying. I did not top off at 4199 until I did it the way I just described.
