[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hammerfest:
as someone on the HD2, I can tell you that the Note is my next device... thats the bottom line...

I have read about it, and got to see it locally (craigslist seller, wanted WAYY to much, but I got him to drive out so i could "decide" on it :P ), and its just all sorts of dead sexy.. and the 16:10 aspect ratio instead of the ****ty narrow as hell 16:9 bull****...

well... when i can afford it... ill be getting one... just not on AT&T... over my dead rotting corpse...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sean is here.:
I've got an HD2 as well. But the Note was just too big. The size of the HD2 was where I drew the line. The Note seemed to be more of a Phablet to me, but hey...opinions are like a$$h0le$ and elbows, everybody's got one some people have 2! :)

I upgraded to the SGS2 last week, and love it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] claude4:
I have been using the HD2, moded it many times and love that phone. It is a quality built phone, powerful and now it has become my backup phone as I received my GNotelast Friday and am still getting things tweaked just right.

I am fairly new to Android only having played with it using SD based ROMs on my HD2.

I am now much more familiar with Android as I have spent a few hours exploring every corner of the UI and now have tweaked the GNote to increase font sizes and adjust App settings to make it easier for me to see and use, what others take for granted.

As a low vision individual, the GNote seemed like a no brainer and with the use of the following Apps I seem to have been able to get font sizes increased throughout most of the UI.

1) At first I had used "Font Size" (for rooted users) from the market which does a very good job of increasing ALL text size throughout the UI (Icon text on the home screens, in program text, settings menus, etc.) Setting "Font Size" to large vs. Extra Large seems to be the sweet spot.

2) I could not stop there as I felt there were areas where Font Size'ing to the "large" setting worked against me in some ways so I set that back to "default" size and started using adjustments within each App, GNote Messaging App,Dialer One, K-9 for my exchange mail and Opera Mobile (Which does text reflow when you pinch to zoom just like it did on the HD2) and I found that Go Launcher EX has the ability to increase icon text sizes for the home screens which seemed to work better than what Font Size did for me.

And although there are many ways available to root your GNote I found the one in the link below was the one for me as it was easy to do and apparently doesn't set a flag that would show that the phone had been rooted. By that I mean that I can unroot it with this method, should the GNote need to go back for warranty work and Samsung would be none the wiser (or so this rooting method claim).

Here is the link for the root I used:

http://www.androidnz.net/2011/11/at-your-own-risk-how-to-root-your.html

At the end of this link he also explains Titanium backup and how to use it better than any of the other articles I have read.

I love the GNote and am still adjusting to it. VLingo and voice interactions take time to get used to and are not as smooth as I would hope.

As a low vision person, the GNote is a solution that is unsurpassed by anyother.

Now if I could only find a way to stop event notifications to NOT go through the GNote speaker when I have my BT Headset on, I would be in pig heaven!

Made the leap last night

I am not coming from the HD2, but from the Evo 4G. While waiting (forever) for the galaxy nexus, I stumbled across this phone, and after a lot of research, made the leap to the Note. I haven't heard anything negative about it, other than some screen issues, so I hope I get lucky and get a good one from Newegg. I like big phones, and know I will love the size of it.

It will be a lot of firsts for me: 1st import, 1st Samsung (always had HTCs) and 1st time with AT&T. I plan to follow the advice of others here at XDA when I call AT&T and when I configure my APN to work on HSPA+

I say "go for it". :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
So at last mr.Claude you have joined the HD2/GNote veteran gang,congratulations and thanks for the very usefull informations.

Ditto.

I couldn't see anything I liked more for the last 2 years, though on reflection the SII is good.

Plus, the stylus is back!

Always annoyed me that the stylus was dropped on the HD2.

I had the HD as well.

@rahulganatra

Check out fancy widgets for a very good Sense clock/weather app.

You will need a launcher like Launcher Pro as well to resize for the note.

I want to add a zipalign script to my rooted odex stock rom KK2, I've got the script that most custom roms seem to use 'S70zipalign'.

Am hoping I don't get shot down in flames for this but is it just a matter of having busy box installed and putting the script in the following folder path system/etc/init.d to get it to zipalign my apps on boot :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jduvall1:
I can't say for other tablets, but on the Transformer at least the soft keys for back, home, and multitasking are hard to use like they are. This tablet is so wide that it feels sort of silly to use it in the portriat orientation and it’s just a little too heavy to be held with just one hand in landscape for any significant length of time, so after a while I find myself gripping the sides with both hands and using my thumbs for navigation. This is all well and good until I need to use one of the soft keys at the bottom. It seems like they would be so much more useful at the top, so that you could hold onto the tablet with two hands and still be able to hit the back button quickly if you need to, which I always find myself doing when I'm on the internet and trying to go back from a page that had loaded a flash video. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but I literally have to hit the back button 4 times really quick in succession or the page with the flash will just refresh over and over again.

But what seems even better than having the soft keys at the top is to just not have them at all and instead use a multitouch gesture based system for doing the same things. I believe the iPad had something similar in an early developers build of iOS 4 or 5. The gestures could be designed with thumb use in mind and maybe a thin strip along sides of the screen to serve as an area where the gestures can be preformed. Or one thick strip could be used on one side to completely replace the huge bottom bar, which seems to both be in the wrong place and take up more space than it needs

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qsec:
Hi,

I have two spare parts phones that are both broken so that they don’t boot. One I think is water damage and one has a strange component error.

The one with the component error has been in Texas and back for JTAG-service at MobileTechVideos (this was before I knew it had a component error) great service but it did not help because that was not the error.

When I power on the phone i sometimes get the first Samsung Galaxy S II screen and it hangs there. If I turn it off a can’t get it to power on again unless I wait several days with the battery out or presses all buttons like crazy a couple of minutes with the battery out.

The funny thing is I can get it to download mode and successfully flash a rom, I have flashed a full rom with pit and repart, but still the same error.

I have tracked down a component on the main board that gets really hot when I try to power on the phone, its named UCP400, 0908-002766 in the service manual, it’s on page 28 on of the biggest components there.

- The question here is what that component is, does anybody know?

- Question number two, how is that component attached to the main board?

Could it be replaced? Is it glued in place and have like several hundreds of little spikes under it like a computer processor? Or is it soldered in place? It kind of looks like it's glued or something similar.

It maybe is the processor of the phone; I can read ‘ARMC210ABB’ on it.

Thanks,

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlazinGTI:
Hi Guys,

This may be because I'm coming for a Blackberry but my Nexus's vibrate function feels WAY too light. I'll have the phone sitting on a pad of paper on my desk and the only way I know I have a notification is if I happen to glance over at the phone and the LED is blinking.

Has this been anyone else's experience? Is there an app (similar to Volume+) that would help increase the vibrate function's strength?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkVasyaK:
You, probably, have forgotten to turn on the vibration-notification in sms settings.

I even get frightened because of a phone, when there is a new text message and my phone is on the desk near me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlazinGTI:
I have vibrate in the Messenger app set to "Always".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
I can double confirm this. The vibration is so powerful that it also makes a loud noise at the same time. So this is definitely not a generic phone problem. Maybe your specific model ? Try to get another one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlazinGTI:
does an app exist that will boost the vibrate function so that I can give it a try
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tung_meister:
I didn't think the vibration was weak on the GN until earlier today when I decided to install ICS on my trusty HD2 to see how it handled it. The vibration on my HD2 feels about 3 times more powerful than the GN so some people might see it as weak.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlazinGTI:
Thank you. I don't think its a phone defect, I'd really like to see some way to increase the intensity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
+1

I need to decrease vibration intensity because I I get frightened anytime the phone is on my wooden desk and vibrates! Any app out there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brocabortzfield:
+1

I am wondering the same thing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eagle132:
My Galaxy Nexus's vibrate is INCREDIBLY weak. Barely audible at all when on a desk, and basically impossible to feel vibrate when it's in my pocket. At first I thought it was my silicone case, but even after taking it out of the case it's barely any better.

There are actually people who believe the vibrate is powerful? I wonder if I should get mine checked out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davomgz:
I have a feeling that they're being hyperbolicly defensive. Quite a few reviews have mentioned this as an issue, along with quiet notification sounds.

If you're in a silent room with your phone on your desk, of course you'll feel that the vibration is strong. But just get out of the house and into a loud place, like a mall. I missed two calls and an SMS the first time I went out with my GN even though vibrate AND sound were on.

Sorry to bump an old-ish thread, but still no one has offered any solutions. Is it possible or not to increase the vibration intensity?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EKnofsky:
Yeah, I fail to see how anyone can think the vibrate on this phone is strong. I set my D2G next to the phone and it got an email I can hear the vibrate in the other room. Next when the SGN got a vibrate I barely heard it 2 feet away in my chair. Either I have a defective model or this phones vibrate is insanely weak.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssmug:
Bump for revisiting this...

I'm considering the GNexus, but vibration strength is a big issue for me. I keep my phone on silent with vibration at work and out in general, because I personally consider it more considerate to others.

I'm not concerned with vibration when it's sitting in my desk, but I'm definitely concerned when it's in my pocket. In fact, I returned the RAZR because I literally missed every call and SMS that came in because the vibration was so week.

Can anyone compare this to the SGS2's vibration, which I thought was strong, and I could feel it when in my pocket. Same thing with the iPhone when I had that -- I thought the vibration was very strong.

I know it sounds like a weird deal-breaker, but if I'm missing calls/SMS, it defeats the main purpose of the phone, you know? :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
I turn off all default and use light flow. The vibrate time can be customized. I hate to 2 little buzz vibrates. I have it set for a continuous time of 3 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just87:
I would consider the vibration strength as low/decent. I came from a Motorola XT720 which had a much stronger vibration.

I've never used a SGS2 or RAZR so I can't really comment. I've used friend's iPhones briefly but would say the iPhone has a stronger vibrate.

For what it's worth I can usually feel the vibration of texts and calls when the phone is in my pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thracks:
I don't really care, but the vibrate function on my SGN is absolutely anemic. It's the weakest I've ever had in any smartphone, to the point where I just turn it off because it's so unnoticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Majjjjo:
Hello guys

Is there any method to get GN vibrate when pocket? Obviously it should be in dependence of proximity sensor, but I cannot set it up, as lets say HTC Sensation does.

Thanks and ciao

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
There is a recent legal precedent that could put the FBI in some hot water with this: the supreme court ruled that GPS tracking without a warrant (including the FBI) is a violation of privacy because even though tailing a car is legal it requires the active involvement of law enforcement whereas a GPS tracker does not.

Similarly, the fact that this software is installed without the consent or knowledge of the user (like the GPS tracking units) means that this tracking data is collected without warrant, or the knowledge and consent of the user. That in and of itself is a violation of consumer privacy but the fact that it's then used by the government against citizens is akin to someone illegally putting a wire tap on your phone and then the government using that in a case against you. That's not legal.

For those who say "oh privacy it's dead three government can do whatever they want nowadays" do some research: the government isn't doing anything now it hasn't done in the past and the truth is you have a lot more privacy and protections than pretty much any time in the past.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogier666:
I wouldn't trust it.

Not just because it's too cheap to sound legit, but also because of the shipping time estimate: 10 to 40 days. If the card doesn't arrive after 40 days your only option is eBay/PayPal buyer protection, which won't help you if the seller sends a knockoff SD card.

Never buy anything off eBay if the max. shipping time is longer than the time you get from your credit card company to reverse the charge. This is usually a month, so I'd never accept a delivery time of more than three weeks.

Also have a look at the seller feedback. Lots of positive comments about $2 cables (an easy way to build up eBay cred for a throwaway account), but so far no feedback at all on SD cards.
