No keypad or picture of a droid? Ive read several posts that if you can stick a valid sim card in even if its not your I would assume from the country you bought the phone you can bypass setup.If bought in the US use any active sim card and then bypass everything.

---------- Post added at 04:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 AM ----------

Read another option, get a prepaid sim card from your country to help get past the no sim card and then disable the sim card check without continue as setup as you dont want to use as phone and cant.

just before your post,i find the same method on the other frum,here on xda....thank you very much,you guys are awsome...what is the thing with thanks meter?because i want to thank you...P.S.the phone is awsome!!!

If i manage to root the phone and install a custom firmware,i still have to enter in testmode every time i start the phone?well,for me isnt realy a phone,is a mini tablet...:)
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Yeah I think so as you wipe everything and it wants to do some type of setup.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mindandminds:
So,i cant get rid of the verizon apps and the bypass process in any way?
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
If you can bypass the setup process like you said you would just install a rooted rom that is either debloated or download a program to unistall or freeze them. So basically use ODIN to install debloated Rom and then you can do whatever you want. To be honest I havent really paid attention as Ive changed my phone so many times but even with rooted roms I think you would still need to bypass setup and like I said then you can do whatever you want.Didnt you say you had bypassed the setup process?

Just read you post #9 so you were referring to entering test mode everytime you restart your phone. Dont know didnt do anymore research as you said you had it working. I would have to google more an look it up. Maybe someone else might know more?

Sooo I've been running ics roms for a few months now and I'm just finding out about the force gpu rendering option in the developer settings. And its pretty awesome, it forces hardware acceleration on apps that don't natively support it right? Are there any downsides to using this? I've noticed issues with root explorer where it basically breaks the app.

I personally dont think it is doing much of anything yet. Once we have the device specific drivers i'm sure it will make a difference. As of now i'm not even sure checking that box does anything.

It does things lol. download spite and malice from the market. Check the box. Open spite and malice. Go to options. And try and read the microscopic menu lol. It breaks some apps :p I just know spite and malice for sure.
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
I personally think it won't be used all that much.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ephestione:
After freezing some twenty applications with Titanium Backup, I finally got this phone to properly enter deep sleep. Here is a quick demo:

(I'm sorry for the images' quality, it's ScreenFilter in effect)

I only have the HD2 to compare, which, either with WM6.5 or Android (CM7 flavour), reported, with its builtin battery chip, 4mA of drain to stay connected to the GSM carrier.

Surely enough, since silly Samsung doesn't like to use decent battery controller chips in their 800USD flagship phones, which any HTC device has, the estimates from Battery Monitor Widget, as, per se, estimates, so I cannot really say the numbers are exact, nor I have a definite idea of how they are calculated.

But still:

And, more in detail:

(yes, I know I could've copy/pasted the txt log in here, but surely a screenshot is nicer to look at :p)

I shamelessly forgot to take a shot of the Android stock battery usage screen, to which I actually look quite seldom; to my defense though, all these screenshots have been taken one after the other, so refer to the same moment; I had the phone charged, then unplugged it and reset the timer on CPUspy, WiFi stayed on just for a while, then disabled; no GPS, no BT, "GSM Only" selected in mobile networks.

I have found a weird behaviour: the drain is 2mA (according to BMW estimates) for quite a while right after the battery is charged. When you happen to actually "use" the phone for a while, the deep sleep drain instead, as estimated, skyrockets up to 30-40mA, to slowly go down again, but never quite low as the drain on my HD2. In the attached screenshots, it stabilized to 17mA, which is still 4 times the comparison of 4mA for the HTC.

A silly deduction: this must not depend on the kernel nor the ROM, since the deep sleep state has the CPU totally inactive, but is there a "radio firmware" that changes this behaviour?

Most importantly, what are your deep sleep mA readings with Battery Monitor Widget?

On a side note, I briefly connected the Note to my PC via USB to copy over the screencaps, and now after a short USB charge, BMW is reporting 2mA again...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nex7er:
How about sharing what apps you froze? :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ephestione:
Without giving a full list (that would be dispersive and especially I would have to write it by hand which is annoying :p) I suppose you can start with the obvious, all samsung apps, especially the updaters, and those that have a huge internet background activity (freezing IM+ in my case helped, but that sucks if you use chats a lot... I dont), then pass onto the tricky ones you would never suspect, like Network Location and Google Maps/Google Streets :)

If it doesn't solve your problem let me know, I will go and compile a list, but keep in mind that at first I just uninstalled system apps from Titanium, so the frozen list will be uncomplete of those uninstalled apps.

Quick update: for just this night, I tried leaving the phone on in airplane mode: 8mA drain just to be in connection-less standby!! That's ridiculous, it drains double with no connection active whatsoever, than what the HD2 needs to keep the GSM network connected. Re-enabled the GSM this morning, went to 17mA, so I suppose the 2mA that I see right after charging are, as suspected, just an artifact of BMW estimates.

This resulted in 4% over 7 hours (4% of a 2500mAh battery) in airplane mode, HD2 under WM drained 3-4% over 8 hours nights with GSM on (on a 1230mAh battery).

This phone does have a ****ty energy management.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bassarnis:
I left the note (stock, not rooted) on for about 9 hours this night with 4% battery. This morning it had 1% left. To force it to shut down i opened wifi, read my mails and watched 2 songs on youtube.

All i did for the night was to set it to GSM only mode, close all active apps and clear the RAM from the build in task manager. I haven't experienced samsung apps keeping the phone awake yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ephestione:
Hi Bassarnis, and thank you for your report :)

Your experience may lead to believe it actually drained "just" 3% overnight, yet, with CM7 on my HD2 I had the strangest things happen especially when battery was (reportedly) almost drained.

Android (with its silly battery management) would tell me the phone was at 5%, and I just went on using it until 1%; even doing the nastiest stuff to drain that last 1% it took a notable while before the phone shutted down.

Turns out the battery wasn't really drained, but the phone told me it was, because of the useless, illogic, un-asked-for use of "battery statistics", combined with the fact that this OS thinks a battery is depleted when the dV is still 3600mV-ish (LiIon can stand to be discharged up to 3V with no damage).

In this case your leftover 1% could very well mean, in reality, a 6-7% ;D

I would love to know how much %age your phone drains overnight with GSM, starting from a good charge ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bassarnis:
I charge my phone while its off. I know the effect you are describing. It could well mean that the battery wasn't properly charged the first few times, leading to the last 1% = 5%.

I don't guarantee that my results are accurate, since bought the Note 48 hours ago. When i bought it, i used it until the battery depleted and then charged it to full while it was off. Now its the 3rd time i charge it and i believe the percentages will be more accurate from now on.

Will try tonight and let you know tommorow :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ephestione:
Thank you for your interest in this matter ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bassarnis:
Here are the results:

As soon as the indicator showed 5% battery left at around 23:00, closed all apps via the build in task manager and cleared the ram. (GPS/WI-FI/Auto-synch/Data = off, network set to GSM only)

Now at 7:00 there is 3% left after 8 hours of sleep time. That is 2% more than the last time. Currently the phone is on it's 4th charge circle using the method posted above (letting the phone shut down by itself, then charging it while off till 100%). I 'll probably do one more circle and then start charging the phone whenever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
after reading this thread was a bit worried so did a test last night,after a full charge from 1 am until 9am with only gsm on it consumed just 1%.

so no complains here on my wife's galaxy tab 10.1 she had the same draining problem,but after disabling the GPS it was solved.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ephestione:
Apparently there is something terribly wrong with either my phone OR my software... are you both on stock ROMs? And which version of firmware?

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Ive been getting more than 1% drop over 8hours since my SGS2 days.. so this is nothing new to me.. only my SGS1 could drop 1% every 9.5hrs of idle.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bassarnis:
Stock 2.3.6 not rooted here. I believe that battery monitor widget you use keeps your phone awake. Did you check your wake times?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ephestione:
You know, I've thought about it very much, regarding BMW and possible interferences with wakelocks, since it has to update stats every 10 minutes after all... but it's still once in 10 minutes so I don't see how it can weight for so much.

Also, I had battery monitor widget since the phone was still on KJ4 and unrooted, fresh out of the box, without a SIM inside, and with logging every 5 minutes instead of 10.

You can compare the graphs of the battery drain (one day is equivalent to two columns):

Before pimping up the phone, stock KJ4:

After, with ExtraLite rom and Abyss Kernel:

I obviously studied reports from betterbatterystats and nothing big seems to come out from there, apart from three causes for wakelocks that I cannot really pinpoint to anything specific: ActivityManager-Launch and AlarmManager, time-wise, and ActivityManager-Sleep, count-wise.

Out of curiosity, I disabled BWM, to see if anything changes.

But I reckon this is some kind of Schrodinger's cat situation, because I can't know the battery current drain of the phone when BWM is not active, if I don't use BWM :D

My last resort is to restore the nandroid of KJ4 freshly cf-rooted and see from there :p

Thank you all again for the interest, and

@EarlZ

1% down overnight is scary, positively speaking. I was content with 3-4% with the HD2 and WM6.5.

I was on the 1% mark overnight (less actually) only with my iPaq 214 :D But then again, that was not a phone, and its standby was a proper standby. And it had a battery almost like the note's.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maroon Mushroom:
Keep in mind the AT&T branded one may easily have a different CPU/GPU.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skiddledank:
I know, and this is what's causing my dillemma.

It definitely will have a different chip as the 1.4Ghz Exynos doesn't do 4G/LTE and you know AT&T will insist on it having that ability.

Question is, will it be a slower Qualcomm or will it be the 1.5Ghz Exynos which I doubt as I don't think it's ready but man would that be sweet. This is all I'm waiting on before I hit the submit button.

If AT&T (or whoever gets it first in the US) announce a release and I see it has the Qualcomm chip, I'll be running to the nearest lowest priced online vendor and snapping up one with a 1.4Ghz Exynos cause I don't care about 4G/LTE right now.

IOW I'd prefer the device with the fastest chip possible as opposed to having 4G/LTE ability, it's not even available in my area (Central Florida, east coast) and for the most part I'm in a Wifi environment.

I've been running Alpha 3 of CM7 on my touchpad for the past few weeks. All in all I'm a fan and have been using it as my primary OS for the touchpad.

Getting GrooveIP to work would be the coup de grace for me as being able to take and place phone calls on it has been the one thing missing. Running Groove IP I can hear the other side for a second or two and then it just goes quiet. People on the other end say that can't hear anything from me.

Just curious if others have figured out a way around this (or if I've been an idiot). A search wasn't helpful.

You can make free calls with Google Voice, and a PBX server. It's really easy to install PBXinaflash on an older computer, or run it in a virtualized environment. Check out this tutorial here. For more reliability you can purchase a DID from voip.ms or Vitelity. For 4 dollars a month you can make as many outbound/inbound calls as you want -- voip.ms only. Vitelity is 4 dollars a month for unlimited inbound. I'm currently using a Vitelity DID for inbound calls, and a GV trunk to make outgoing calls for free. Media5-Phone works really well as a SIP client. I have found that the function built into Android does not work as well as some SIP applications. I really suggest building a PBX server over using a service such as Groove IP.

I guess this goes beyond the Defy forums...

I have a Motorola Defy with CyanogenMod-7.1.0-11-Defy on and since about 3 days ago I noticed that it doesn't send SMS'es. At first I didn't care, but today I looked more into it.

The message center is the right one. Wiped the Messaging data, restored it from an earlier backup with Titanium Backup. Wiped the cache partition. Nothing! I even freezed some apps that I recently installed (nothing that might have to do with SMS'es).

Strangely, Handcent SMS sends the messages.

I've had a similar problem some time ago (before using CM7), but that time it was because of the CloclworkMod recovery. After I uninstalled that (not the market app) everything went back to normal. This time the recovery is included in CM7....

Any ideas what should I try?
