[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SrAdama:
This phone really does have bad quality... I'm on my third galaxy note now and it too has screen problems like the others had (dead pixels, burn-in effect, banding etc), not only does it have a defective screen but the gyroscope isn't working! I've never had such a bad experience with any other phone in the past, I've come to the conclusion that this phone.. just.. sucks. Oh yeah, I bought an Galaxy S2 for my gf and it too had these problems with the screen. Maybe it's not only Galaxy Note that sucks, but the company Samsung. I've never EVER had problems like these with Sony Ericsson or Apple.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DMax99:
so.....your third one has screen problems too? Is it bad? You have giving up returning it?

Hopefully I will be third time lucky too...

I have never had a problem with Samsung before...but I can't really believe that I can get 2 problem phones in the row....I really believe that maybe Samsung has roll this phone out too quickly and not paying enough attentions on quality...

If you don't mind me asking...who did you buy your phones from and what version are they?

My first one is a Polish and this second one is a German...Both EU versions
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SrAdama:
Yes, it's really bad. I mean, I could live with the screen issues as the third one wasn't that bad as the first two (not yet hopefully) but the fact that the gyroscope isn't working makes this phone useless, won't be able to use games like labyrinth and won't be able to auto-rotate the screen...

If I remember correctly all of my phones were made in Korea, all of them imported from Germany.

I don't know what caused this but if you just google around for amoled screen issues you will see that this is pretty widespread, with the galaxy S2 too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pjm77:
Try to get them unstuck before you return it. There are apps for that, you may get lucky and save yourself the pain in the arse.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SrAdama:
Dead and stuck pixels are not the same...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DMax99:
With my first one...There were 3 green pixels with a line running through them.

With this one...there are 2 small BLACK ones....(i'm pretty sure they are DEAD instead of STUCK)

anyways...what apps do you recommend and how well do they work? I mean, i have tried "JScreenFix" and it didn't work for my first and this one....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DMax99:
so how many dead pixels do you have on this third one? are they big or small?

even though mine are not obvious...but i'm just not happy the fact that I have paid over 700 bucks for something that is defected...that makes me real mad:mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bamboo12:
you know.. when they asked you if they can open it to check if everything is alright, what they really meant was can they send you one that someone else returned which happens to be open already
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
This is exactly what happens. They aren't taking a loss on these they just sell them again to some unsuspecting schmoe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SrAdama:
I only had dead pixels on the first one, there was also some dust moving around behind the screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DMax99:
you guys really think so? I mean can they really be that dishonest?

Because when i got the replacement, only the ticker on one side of the box has been opened, the sticker on the other side hasn't been touched.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] titus1:
Don't have the dead/stuck pixels problems, but I think I regretted getting the GNote...well for some other reasons.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btentusscher:
What reasons Titus? Strange that there is a sudden negative wave going on aboute the Note. Bad omen.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
I bought 2 Notes at Clove and UnlockedMobile. No problems at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Honestly, I dont see comments like this would help the OP in anyway possible.

@OP

Maybe you can talk with them and have the shipping waived, its a DoA product after all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oneiricl:
Don't read too much into it... negativity tends to clump together, just like positivity does...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ankydu:
What is the month of manufacture of ur phones?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] extremely well:
Yes, is there any pattern to the good & bad batches? Perhaps also serial numbers (remove a few digits for privacy).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DMax99:
Trust me...I really really want to be one of yous (a happy GNote owner)....but it is really out of my control.....especially when I can't check the phone myself since handtec is in UK....that's why i got them to check it for me before they sent the phone....Plus...I would really not care to return it again....IF I don't have to pay another $70 bucks to send it back and WAIT another 2 weeks to get the replacement back.....

All in all....I have only used the phone total of 2 days...and waited about 3 weeks for the 2 phones to arrive to me.....

hope you guys can really see where I am coming from....:(

An YES....I will try and ask handtec to see if they can pay for the postage this time + send the replacement to me first so I can check to see myself if there's anything wrong with it before I sent the bad one back...because I am SICK of not be able to use my new phone properly.....(thanks for the advice :))
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svilgg:
Hi , guys , im sorry if there is another one thread like that , but i cant decide what the problem exactly is.

Ive ttrying to install new ROM but during the installation there was some fault , i dont know what is it and the installation couldnt go ahead and the phone didnt responding.

after that i try to restart the phone but the only thing he is doing is to load some tiny blue things, like its loading his bios , but not even more.

the display is staying like that and nothing happened

i think , i f****d up my phone but i hope there is still hope

any ideas whats wrong and how to fix that ?

thanks in advance
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JurrePs3:
I also had this but i fixed it!

first install the normal HardSPL, without changing any files.

after that install the rom again ;)

It will work now

Found a nice looking sleeve on eBay and it has the Google Droid on it :D

It comes in a few other colours but I think green is best :D

I have only found it on my local UK eBay so I'm not sure if anyone else can get it. Amazon seem to sell it also.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/150700855321

I have seen it on other sites as well its made by MOFI I think, its often sold for the Kindle Fire as well.

I promise this is not my eBay auction, I just found it and wanted to share the case.

Have ordered even before I get a Nook Tablet in Jan.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ThyGizmo:
Hi, seems like a nice one....how much did you pay for it?

Cheers,

Giz
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kingchris90:
In the end I found it on Amazon.co.uk for £9.95 by searching Mofi Tablet Bag.

Should be much quicker then arriving direct from China.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ThyGizmo:
Thanks for the tip,

Have you checked this one?

It's called Tasume and enables you to lay your NT on you desk on both V and H positions....

Rather expensive though and couldn't find it anywhere outside the B&N website...:(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JoeM01:
I was going to get that, but when I saw that the buttons were covered, that was my stopping point. I don't see why they couldn't put provisions in for the buttons. Plus, the price was a bit much.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ThyGizmo:
Hi again. Yup...the buttons are indeed covered, but have you noticed the +/- signs for the volume? I guess on the other side there must be a "O" for the power sign.

The question stands though, could we click on the buttons easily through the plastic cover?

Giz
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ylixir:
I have the Tasume. The button's aren't as easy to hit as when out of the case, but it isn't bad. The power buttion isn't covered by the case as it's on the side you slide it into the case. The stand up in any direction feature is really slick imho, and the reason I bought it.

There is no hole for the mic. I didn't care as a I have yet to use it and I figure some scissors or a lighter and a needle can fix that easily enough.

The major problem I have with it is that it is smooth and therefore a little slippery. A slippery case half defeats the purpose of a case. It does have a little bump on the back from the flap the holds the device in and I've almost trained myself to automatically hold it by the bump, so that's not as big a deal as it was when I got it, but still hardly ideal.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ThyGizmo:
Hey! found it on Amazon.co.uk! Hum, but there are two of them (one costs 9.95 and the other goes for 11.95)....Does anyone know the diff between the two?

I'll let Santa know that have been a good boy this year... :)

Thanks,

Gizmo
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kingchris90:
I ordered the cheaper Samsung one.

I could not work out a reason for the price difference, unless the seller has missed some of them when raising / dropping the price.

Or perhaps they think some will be more popular then others?

Mine has been shipped now, but with Christmas post might take a few days before it arrives here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kingchris90:
Case arrived yesterday. I'm happy with it.

Just need a Nook now.:D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ThyGizmo:
Eheh, I find myself in the exact opposite situation....got a nook, rooted, customized, etc....and still waiting for the case...:)

very nice find, ordered myself one as well
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
I'm planning on ordering one as well. It'll go nicely with the skin i have on it. The skin protects from minor cuts and scrapes when I'm using it and the sleeve will protect in between usages. Good plan overall

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dwmackay:
I have this case. I had looked for a case that would also hold the tablet in portrait and landscape, but at the time, there was not much to choose from.

My main interest would be for landscape to watch movies. In portrait, I am usually reading or using a browser so holding it is fine.

I found that if I move the elastic strap into a position it really should not go, the case works perfectly and supports landscape at almost any angle.

Not sure how long the elastic will hold out, but after 2 months it seems to holding up fine so far.

Hi guys i just installed CynoCream sandwich on my U20i and i noticed that the vibration is pathetic in the mini pro.I have been using my SE naite and its vibration was sheer wonderful. I travel a lot there i need the vibration to be strong. Is there any way i can increase the vibration?

Edit: I tried some Vibrator app, but not that good still can't feel the vibrations if the phone is inside my pant pockets
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmfareed:
I just started my Galaxy Nexus yesterday for the first time after fully charging it as advised by the quick start guide, went through the wizards normally till the end.

From the very first hour of use, my GN went online and found an update to the volume issue and it asked to update and reboot. I accepted, and the update completed. So, from the very first use, I have an up-to-date unit.

The first test was to try a missed call. I called my GN from a phone far from it (in another room), then aborted the call from my other phone, and bang! A GN reboot. Tried again. Also GN reboot. And a third, a fourth. The following have been tried, but did not help:

1. Used a more recent SIM card from another carrier.

2. Disabled data services, and 3G

3. Used only 2G network

4. Manually powered off the device, then on instead of an auto-reboot

5. Added the number of the missed call to my contacts

6. Did a factory data reset

7. Did a missed call from a 3G connected device

8. Did a missed call from a 2G connected device

9. Wiped battery, its contacts on phone, and SIM card with a clean soft cloth

The missed calls are not recorded!

I have also experienced the following:

1. Random reboot while playing music

2. When calling a number, my GN hangs and reboots. Reboot probability is 70%

3. Rejecting a call causes a reboot 50% of the times

4. A very few times, I got missed calls. Not specific pattern for success. Success rate is very much less than 95%

5. The failure rate is higher after an auto-reboot

6. After the call ends, the phone hangs and then reboots

Given the above:

1. What exactly might be wrong here? Is it the hardware itself? The software? Or something else related to the network?

2. Has anyone seen this issue or a similar one?

I have now paid 25% of the device price to get it from UK to my country. Returning it will also cost a fortune!

Please give me a sincere advice.

Thanks in advance.

M. Fareed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmfareed:
Does it look like an issue with radio software only? or also the image?

Will it help if I flash it with Google factory image? Or is it a hardware related issue?

Any thoughts, please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmfareed:
Hassle continues

Without changing anything since yesterday, I can now receive missed calls most of the times, BUT I am completely unable to dial number.

Dialing any number just causes a phone reboot!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Spasibo:
I'm trying to fix a Droid that was given to me. It's obviously had some abuse, but I'm trying to figure what the real problem is.

It was having some random reboots, over and over again. However, I think I've got it working pretty good now. I've got 2.2.3 FRK76 on it now, however under baseband version, it still says unknown. I've flashed the baseband with 4 different versions, the last time with C_01.43.01P but each time (and now still) it shows unknown.

Under status, My phone number, MIN, PRL Version, MEID, and Network all show unknown.

It gets zero reception, no bars with a little x in the status icon. However, I can connect to my wifi router in my house. Are the wifi and cell electronics on the same module?

I've spent a lot of hours on this, just wondering if it's a lost cause, or if I should even bother looking on ebay for parts. Now that I've got the OS stabilized, if I could just get the reception to work, this phone would be great again.

Any ideas?

Hi All

I am after an really minimal simple looking car holder. For the couple of years i've had the Krussell Quick Mounter. They are brilliant in my opinion. BUT there is no ability for adjustment and in my new Focus I need something else. I hate all the bulky holders out there and would love something really simple that has some adjustment. Really want to put it near-ish the stereo and not on top of the dash. It'd be great if there was another magnetic fitting out there and it means less bulk and mechanisms to break.

Has anyone seen anything???

Thanks!

Hi, this is my first android phone (Sensation XE) & I'm new with this rooting the phone thingy. I recently rooted my phone (S-OFF, Install ClockWork Recovery, permanently Root & obtain SuperCID) successfully. But haven't decided on which custom ROM to use.

Then I discovered that the total memory on my device is 563MB instead of 768MB.

Is this normal?
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
.......atleast do a search. some ram is reserved for system/gpu or something like that. It's normal.
[HTC Sensation] B@RN3YTD:
Yeah, but in Task Manager it says 768MB before i rooted it & now it's 563MB. Is that a problem?
[HTC Sensation] yangas:
Problem

No, it is not a problem, i have the same 562 MB total- the phone Flies in both Insert Coin and Android Revolution HD Roms - just don't get yourself nervous about it, go flash the custom ROMS and Enjoy. It is Typical
[HTC Sensation] B@RN3YTD:
OK Thanks.

I notice that you have Android Revolution HD Rom on your device. Which custom ROM works best with my XE? SENSEaY XE35 v2.1.0 or Android_Revolution HD Sensation 4.1.8? Or any other custom rom?
[HTC Sensation] mattjorgs:
There is no best ROM. use what you like best. I prefer using ARHD.

Swyped from my HTC Sensation using xda premium.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Try a few different ones, I now use my own ROM which I haven't released as it is purely for myself as I liked leedroid supersensation but a few things about it annoyed me so I nodded it for my personal use and now use that.
[HTC Sensation] jaaystott:
No, there is no 'better' ROM. ...until you try Android Revoloution! :cool:
[HTC Sensation] B@RN3YTD:
Yeah it's cool but I've tried Android Revolution HD - Sensation_4.1.8 & it doesn't support beats audio so I switched to SENSEaY XE35 v2.1.0. But I seem to like ARHD better but....no beats......:(

Any suggestion to which rom I should try next?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] ibra88:
dude you should try InsertCoin....its a Masterpiece !

Beats can be flashed to 4.1.8 :) link below for ARHD 4.1.x

Beats Audio ARHD 4.1.x - Provided by omerkisoss

If it helps ya don't forget some thanks ;)

And as far as best ROMs, just try them out see what you like. I personally love ARHD and am running 4.1.8 right now. Was running 3.6 for a while and switched. Other ones are great too, just look for screen shots of ones you like, flash it and enjoy! If you arent happy with one, just backup all your apps use SuperWipe and flash something else :)
