[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy34742:
My problem's different: I'm able to purchase plenty of apps, and Market Enabler is verified working for me for a long time. I never get the error "You can't buy this app in your country." I get this error message: "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found."

In your case, you've never verified that you have a correct configuration for Market Enabler. Of course, you first rooted your phone, right? Otherwise, Market Enabler won't work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latoc:
Yes of course I'm rooted and I used market enabler for a couple years and across different android phones and it always worked before. Maybe it's the new market...

Just like you I find the app, click on purchase button, and then get this country message even though I'm on a US proxy or vpn, with market enabler set on a US carrier.

We don't have the same error message, but the end result is the same, we can't buy apps.

The first time I had an error it said something like: the country where you registered your phone doesn't allow you to purchase applications.

It looks like if at one time or another the system knows you are not in the right country, then you are on some sort of black list or something like that. Then you can do everything you want, it does not matter because your account is flagged !!!

Just a theory... I hope I'm wrong, because otherwise we are screwed big time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy34742:
So, it's only your Note that fails? That is my problem. Up till now, I've gotten around it by purchasing from my S2, then installing the already purchased app on my Note. But with this one app (Smart Task Switcher), it just won't install on the Note. I emailed the developer. But yes, if we can't use the Market from our Notes with Market Enabler, that's depressing. And there won't be any help from places that don't need Market Enabler.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latoc:
I found a workaround:

Freeze Android Market 1.0 with Titanium so the market doesn't update itself, uninstall market updates, I can now buy apps !!!

With Market Enabler of course...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy34742:
Oh yeah, I seem to remember that solution from a while back when they updated the Market app. As I recall, I reverted to 1.0, and then did the updates again, and then it worked.

In any case, I don't think you can be 100% sure what worked for you because suddenly yesterday I was able to purchase that app that was being reported as "not found" after I'd click the "$2.49" button. When I finally purchased it, Market now reported some kind of payment irregularity, but then the app downloaded and installed. When I see my bill, I'll know if the payment was processed correctly. I've had this same b.s. before where I find an app, click to buy, and then get a "not found" reported, but it never before stretched on for days.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CorruptedSanity:
Even with uninstalling updates I get the "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found".

I am rooted and use marketenabler.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy34742:
My latest workaround is to do:

Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Market>Uninstall updates

and then immediately complete the purchase. This seems to reenable Market Enabler just long enough to purchase. I can't seem to figure out how to prevent Market from updating, but at least purchases are enabled long enough for me to complete them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CorruptedSanity:
Tried that but then there are no paid apps only free ones then a few minutes later our reverts back to the latest version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holgalee:
i don't know about buying apps as I get something new every two months or so, but Market 3.4.4 and the earlier version are taking a really long time to load, or it sometimes just hangs. I'm on LA4 but had the same issue when I was on KL7.

Oh and market enabler hasn't been working for quite a while too, on both my Note and NookColor, even when paired with Market 2.XX. Not sure what has happened!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy34742:
Yeah, this Market Enabler situation is really messing us up. I don't know why what worked for me worked for me, and there's no telling when my workaround will quit working. I wonder why Android phones are so popular in Market-disabled countries. Since the average person doesn't even root their phone, they buy these Android phones with no intention of ever getting the best apps for it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nessqn:
Here's how i manage to buy paid apps on my Note:

Go to Google Play on PC,sign in,buy the required app,go to market on Note,install the app(the download link will be active n available after payment thru PC).btw,i use VPN to change the IP location on my PC(to USA or Canada)...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hostorama:
I just finished a conversation with a Samsung support person, regarding my hard bricked T989. It seems that either there was some major misunderstanding between the two of us, or Samsung's policy is unexpectedely too firendly.

The bottom line was this: if you hard brick your phone due to firmware update - they will fix it and the repair is under warranty. Huh? Does anyone have a personal experience with getting a phone to be unbricked by manufacturer?

Here are some quotes.

Q: The phone had a firmware update which went wrong and now the phone is 100% inoperable. But there is no mechanical or any other damage whatsoever - only the firmware updated wrong.

Answ.: We can repair the phone, if it is still under warranty and has not been physically damaged. [...] Provided there is no physical damage to the phone and the failure is not due to any type of liquid damage, the phone will be repaired under warranty.

I think I was clear describing the bricking, and the answer was just as clear. Did I miss something?

BTW, the chat was exactly to clarify the question. Originally I emailed them asking a question on a different topic. The reply suggested that the phone could be covered by warranty. Surprise.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ysuleman:
Yes Samsung can unbrick it. But they will take like 3 weeks. My friend he bricked his 7 inch galaxy tab and he sent it to Samsung and they unbricked it and sent it back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hostorama:
Well, having the phone back working 3 weeks late late is better than never. I am aboroad, bought the phone from a tiny retailer, and returning to it to T-Mo wasn't an option. After figuring out that unbicking is not an option either - no one offers the service, because they dont know how to unbrick it yet, - I was thinking that either the phone will go to Adam or will spend a six months in the desk, loosing its value to something like $50. Three weeks is soon.

But the point was slightly different: normally the warranty is void as soon as a product used not as intended. Bricking, I think, is mainly caused by reckless flashing, no paying attention, not reading the instuctions, etc. I expected that if one admits that it is him who made his own phone inoperable, then... well - it's his loss.

How to know the base of a android device
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nvp1971:
As subject indicates, I have a Samsung SGH-T959V. I'm running T-Mobile Gingerbread 2.3.6 (stock) that was released in November 2011.

I'm in the market for a Bluetooth receiver for the car but as of this moment I've found *zero* Bluetooth receivers that list the SGH-T959V in their compatibility lists. I've looked at Sony (e.g. MEX-BT2900), JVC/Kenwood, Alpine, and so forth, and not a single one of these Bluetooth receivers list the SGH-T959V! What?!

Also, I'm looking for a Bluetooth receiver that costs no more than $250. I don't want/need something super awesome/super expensive, just a receiver that supports both sending audio and handling calls via Bluetooth. If the SGH-T959V is supported by one of the more expensive receivers I'd be interested to know about it but probably wouldn't buy. ;-)

Looking at the (listed) spec for Bluetooth on both the SGH-T959V and on all of the receivers I've mentioned I don't see why the SGH-T959V wouldn't be compatible but I'd rather not spend a couple hundred dollars on a Bluetooth receiver only to use it for its aux port (which I already have in the existing factory-installed radio).

Would love to hear recommendations about what's worked for you and your experiences!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Hi

Maybe I misunderstood you, but

all new phones support BT EDR 2.1 DSP. The exact model should not be listed on BT device, rather the technology standard should be specified on phone spec. I personally use 3 different receivers with T959V and they all work flawlessly.

Sent from me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nvp1971:
Thanks for your response!

You are correct that the technology standard is specified on both the phone and the receiver and they DO match up. What bugs me is that Sony (for example) also provides a compatibility chart and the SGH-T959V does not appear on it. :-(

Which receiver(s) do you use in your car?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nvp1971:
I ended up testing on a Sony M series and it worked great. Just had to calibrate the bt first. Phone and Google Music via bt were both good as were controls on head unit.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] coolsandie:
S5570XXKPF is based on Gingerbread 2.3.3 and not 2.3.4 (From S5570XXKPI only its 2.3.4).

And I guess CM7 requires at least 2.3.4 based ROM. Well, that's what I've heard of.

It should work with XXKPF too. If you want to play safe then upgrade at least to xxkpj

i have make a search for a new best phone for me i cant choice wich one is the best

i was thinking about SAMSUNG I9100 GALAXY S II vs SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE vs i phone 4 vs HTC Sensation vs Samsung Galaxy Nexus...which one you will suggest to me for the top use ?
[General Questions and Answers] JTayta:
My personal opinion I like the new Motorola Razr (Or Droid Razr in the US). 1GB RAM, Dual core 1.2cpu and seperate gpu. 16Gb internal with SD ext support. 8Mp Camera rather than 5.

The new Nexus is comparable but has 5mp camera and no external sd card support, which I just don't understand.

If you like the Galaxy, version 3 should be out 1st 1/4 of next year. That looks a beast.
[General Questions and Answers] abo.saud:
you have to decide wither to go with Android or iOS.

if you want more apps, much much less customization go with iOS and buy iPhone 4/4s

------

if you want good amount of apps, customizable OS go with Android

then ask your self do I want a phone or a small tablet if you want a phone remove the note from your list

other phones in the market share the same specs: 1.2 dual core around 1GB ram

5-8 mb camera

I will go with HTC rezound (in US) or the Galaxy nexus or If you like the design of

Motorola Razr its good phone (my friend told me its camera is not that good)

my final personal choice will be the new Galaxy Nexus
[General Questions and Answers] Jaunzems:
You can't go wrong with Galaxy S II. It packs all the things we love in Android - big screen (but not too big), open bootloader, great power etc.
[General Questions and Answers] cpl593h:
I just love the idea of "Pure Google" phones. I have a Nexus S that I love. I'd go for that if I were you, or even better, if you have the budget to afford it, for a Galaxy Nexus.

Pure Google phones = best support (quick system update deployment), no bloatware (I'm not a fan of TouchWiz, Sense and others).

Of course it is a bit irrelevant once you install CM on them, but there's something that makes me feel good to have the brand Google on the back of my phone. :-)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JcMalta:
Does anyone else feel that Google/Samsung should have given different model names to the new Nexus to avoid confusion for Accessories, ROMs, Kernels etc?

I suggest:

a) "Galaxy FatBoy" - CDMA/LTE, Verizon bloatware, 16/32GB, 0.37in thick, 0.33 lbs, 1850mAh

b) "Galaxy Slim" - GSM/HSPA+, Google raw, 16GB :(, 0.35in thick, 0.30 lbs, 1750mAh

.... it really would avoid a lot of confusion .......

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
All cases designed for the Verizon version fit the GSM version "like a glove" (I have a Verizon case on my GSM GNEX and I agree).

Batteries, docks, chargers, screen protectors, etc, etc, are completely universal.

Accessories = non issue

Flashing ROMS, etc, = issue, but if you are into that you knew this already
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
better check your facts again. Batteries are not. And no one knows yet about doxks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0080:
Not all cases perfectly fit either. The tpu style cases are mostly fine but the hard plastic styles you may want to research further. The barely there case is a prime example.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aldo37:
Yeah, this is kind of incorrect. Check the other threads about cases in here. And batteries are definitely NOT compatible.

Maybe screen protectors are.

On my third galaxy note now, read more about it here.

The gyroscope isn't working, I've tried calibrating it many times and I did a factory reset of the phone.

Is there a way to fix this or am I screwed?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parthpatels007:
i think i have the same problem! the accelerometer works perfectly, but the gyro doesn't move at all while calibration, is that what u r facing?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SrAdama:
Yeah, the gyro ball isn't moving at all during calibration. The accelerometer is moving correctly only after calibrating it, but after some time the ball can be on the left side when it's supposed to be on the right side or something like that.. I'd hate to be forced to send this one back as well... pretty tired of sending back replacements and on Samsung's bad quality control of their new released product...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parthpatels007:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomksoft:
For me the ball in calibration menu is not moving at all. However, if I dial *#0*# and select sensors, readings from gyro are ok. Seems like a software problem.

Indeed. If you download a sensor checker you will see it is working perfectly... the little ball in the calibrator doesn't just move.. = software.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexanderbooth:
Forget me if I'm wrong but the ball shouldn't move should it? Little test for you guys, go into calibration and move the phone around, do you feel a slight pull from the phone when moving it? as if you were holding a spinning gyroscope? Mine does this, its a weird sensation but if it does do this then your gyroscope is working fine. I think if the ball moved the gyroscope would be broken because its suppose to stay dead centre?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnapalm:
Hello all!

I also thought my gyro wasn't working, because the calibration ball stood still. Before I knew about the sensor test code, I found a nice app to test it, called GyroRotate. It basically just shows a colored cube which rotates if you rotate the phone. Seems to be working great on my phone. The only thing is that when I do 360 degrees with phone, the cube seems to have rotated only 180 degrees. I don't know if this is the gyroscope reporting such values, or the app is coded in such a way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SrAdama:
I didn't come to the conclusion that there is something wrong with the gyroscope because the ball isn't moving during calibration. But because screen rotate will work randomly and I need to calibrate it again for it to work until it starts acting weird again. For an example, if I tilt my phone to the right it will act as if I tilted it to the left. Sometimes it will act as if I was holding the phone in landscape mode when I'm not etc.. Really annoying.

Edit: I also have problems with playing games like Labyrinth where the ball won't respond accuratelly to how I am moving the phone.. It will work if I calibrate the phone but after a while it will stop working again.. I also did the *#0*# test and it said PASS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1ng617:
I don't actually have a Note yet, it's in the mail, but could it be that you have to hold on the screen for it to work? The reason why I bring this up is because, correct me if I'm wrong, in the browser if you press and hold onto the screen with two fingers and move the Note it zooms in/out, and this function uses the gyro, I believe. :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnapalm:
k1ng617: no, at least for my Note, the ball stays in the center whether I put it on the table or pick it up and wave/rotate all over the place.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1ng617:
How about in the browser does the two-finger hold and zoom work? Or the move an item across homescreens work by motion? Phonearena says this is handled by the gyro. If it does it might just mean the application is broken.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnapalm:
Yes, the two-finger zoom works flawlessly. The motion-icon-moving does work, although I can't seem to always get it to work.. But I'm guessing it's using accelerometer, since I have to move the device left/right (this also works if I don't rotate the phone at all and keep it straight while moving left/right)
