[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay0514:
I just bought galaxy s2 on a 24 month contract from vodafone.

now;

the model number is

GT-I9100T

Android version; 2.3.3

Baseband: I9100TDUKF4

Kernal Version; 2.6.35.7-I9100TDUKH1-CL474234

and Build Number; Gingerbread.Dukh1

i was really hoping someone could answer some very basic questions for me as i am new.

1) does rooting involve flashing a 'rooted' firmware to ur phone using software like odin? or does it root the existing firmware.

2)Do i really need to change the kernal? what is the benefit?

PS can someone please just explain to me how to root this phone??

i've read around and it is just confusing me..

do i have to flash an official firmware first to root it???arrggh
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
That could be the same question...

Easiest way to root the phone is to flash an unstable kernel then root the phone, you could also just flash the rooted kernel to your phone...

If you do I would suggest getting a usb jig (from ebay, about $5) as you can reset the flash counter and get rid if the annoying triangle with "!" in it from your boot screen...

You also need to go the Aus I9100T thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1166701

This will give you some advice about the Oz model....

You will probably need to get a copy of your stock modem so you have good signal strength...

Now, you have some reading to do....:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
Using odin to flash a new firmware doesn't require root. Have a look at this thread, it will answer a lot of your questions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Different kernels offer different optimisations for example custom boot animations, improved battery life and different versions of cwm and much more. To be honest your best off trying a few, you'll soon get a feel for what is right for you. Have a look at this thread regarding rooting kernels http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399.

.tar = odin flashable, doesn't need root

.zip = clockwork flashable, requires root

As always read the instructions and make sure things are compatible

thanks all for your answer, i went to the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056334

[HTC Titan] MaziarAmiri:
So,after a week of waiting it finally arrived ! :)

And now,I can barely look at my iPhone 4,it's so small :D

Haven't played with it much but my first impressions are

1)Fantastic build quality.The unibody construction is just awesome and it feels great in hand

2)The screen is fabulous.The colors look great and vivid.The viewing angles are very good and trust me,you won't be bothered at all with the WVGA screen.(I've had an iPhone4 for a year).

Only in sites with small texts(completely zoomed out),you'll see pixels but when I put it side by side with my iPhone,I couldn't read it on the iPhone either since it was too small. But on other sites,the text is completely readable.

IE9 is very fast and IMO,the pinch to zoom is faster than 4.

3)The camera is great and is hugely better than iPhone 4.However,after the battery got too low,it didn't let me capture pics with flash which is kinda odd.

I tested the flash in the "flashlight" app and the video camcorder and it worked fine but didn't work while taking pictures.

4)The power button is fine(At least for me).I don't have any problems reaching/pressing it;furthermore,I can work pretty easy with one hand which is great especially for such a huge display.

The on screen keyboard also rocks,I made a lot of mistakes w/iPhone but I barely make any mistake with Titan :D

5)Call quality is excellent. way better than my iPhone ! I had heard some static noise with my iPhone but I haven't experienced any issues with thr Titan.

Overall,it's an awesome phone.One of the best HTC has ever made !

If anyone's interested,I can do a video review/comparison with iPhone 4 :)
[HTC Titan] MaziarAmiri:
The camera flash issue was because of the battery life. When the battery is too low,the flash doesn't work for taking pics
[HTC Titan] averma:
Glad to see your liking it- i got mine a few weeks ago and i agree it really is the best phone available - especially the speaker during calls is incredebly loud and clear

just make sure you turn off the sound enhancer settings - as it may cause freezing in video's and games

I did a comparison with a Lumia 800 a little while ago in store (i was considering switching from the titan to that) and while the hardware was equally as solid feeling - the loud speaker is emberassing on that phone - and the worst audio quality ive ever heared on a phone - i tried playing the same ring tone on max volume with both phones - and the titan destroyed it. both in terms of loudness and quality

Titan really is the best WP7
[HTC Titan] MaziarAmiri:
Titan also has better battery life/camera,slightly faster CPU and a better build quality than Lumia;furthermore,when you go 4.7",you can't even look back.

Oh and thanks for the tip.The first thing I did with my Titan was actually disabling the sound enhancer app

(Please read the text before looking at the video)

Hey Guys.

Im coming from the HTC Desire Section - A pretty huge section where EVERYTHING has been developed.

On my HTC Desire i was able to change the Splashscreen and include a theft warning like "WARNING: This device has been stolen, owner: X Y Z"

Now i have my Galaxy Note and i want to change the Splash Screen (the black one, "Galaxy Note N7000") with my own one to make another theft warning.

My "secondary solution" right now is to make a bootanimation with a theft warning and my ownerinformation, but bootanimations can easily be removed, splash screens are not removable for most noobs and thefts

So:

Is there any possibility to change the splash screen of the Galaxy Note?

Here is a quick video of my bootanimation-solution so you guys know what i am talking about:

First you see the black Spalshscreen i want to change and then you see my secondary solution with the bootanimation

Found this video on flashing splash screen on the SGS 2. Wondering if its a similar procedure and if anyone has made a similar script for our notes.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] erichbitch:
NICE !

Anyone knows weather it works with the Galaxy Note too?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JLG1985:
I'm asking for help to - but in another way!

This may sound ironic but what your looking to get rid of...I'm asking/seeking if you have access to. I'd like to make the splash screen my wallpaper and I can't find it anywhere. All I need is to capture a few frames and configure them to 1280x800 and save them.

I'm not rooted - won't do so until after we receive our Ice Cream Sandwich update. Having always rooting my phones I don't feel the rush to since our Galalxy Notes are unlocked and not having much bloatware.

Of course not having done so (rooting) leaves me in a pinch when it comes to finding or having access to the bootanimation zip files I normally had open access to. I'm in no hurry this time around - I don't see the need to do so at this point in time. :eek:

Anyone's help in finding the bootanimation for the Galaxy Note is deeply appreciated!

Thank you in advance,

JPG

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
Do a search on installing cwm kernel from chainfire, that enables you to inject any customised boot images. Search before posting, pretty sure it's a sticky.

There's also a whole thread on custom boot animations which again would have shown up in a search.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtySoul:
I started having a big issue with my Galaxy Note recently. The problem is that randomly it would think that it's charging, or connected in car dock mode, or connected to a PC, so the screed would light up with the sound of being connected, respective menu popping up, media scanning running and all the crap. Once, it even entered the Safe Mode - a "safe mode" writing appeared in the bottom left corner, and it would stay in all the applications and screens. The phone is quite new, one week only, and first three days it was fine. The MicroUSB jack is undamaged and clean. Now I have troubles charging and connecting the phone to PC - I succeed in doing so only from 6-7th attempt.

No idea whether it is a software or hardware issue, because in download mode it connects to Odin seamlessly, and after connecting it to Odin and rebooting it, for an hour it stays calm and connects and charges properly.

The issue is very annoying and drains battery really fast. Any ideas, gentlemen, what this could be? Or should I take it to the service centre?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martcerv:
Are you using a stock rom? if not you may want to try a full stock unrooted rom and see if the issues continue. If they do then take it back as it shouldn't be doing anything like that.

Did it get any water damage by any chance as electrical devices tend to get possessed when a little water gets in there somehow.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtySoul:
Thanks for the quick answer, martcerv.

I am using the stock KKA rom. I used to have J4, then I flasher Rocket V6 rom, issues started, I flashed to the stock one, issues didn't disappear. And no, no water, no drops, and as I said, it connects nicely to Odin and does connect and charge properly for an hour after that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermessiah:
I had a very similar problem with my Note. It was like it was possessed by car mode.

My solution was to take out the battery for a few hours. I had tried everything and that seemed to correct the issues.

So maybe take out the battery and leave the phone with the back off in a dry place for a few hours or overnight.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtySoul:
Hm.. Will try that :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtySoul:
Didn't help, I just don't know what could be the reason... Now, when I connect it to the PC in debugging mode, it mounts the card and USB storage by itself. And then disconnects. Connects again... Seems that the damn thing got possessed. Will take it to the service centre.

Exactly the same problem just started happening today, car mode, clock and weird USB stuff seem to be the main symptoms. Running stock ROM, not rooted, if it doesn't sort itself out by tomorrow will be getting in touch with seller for a replacement.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftabbabar:
i have the same problem and it seems like the usb port issue. I will try to send in my note for repair and see if they will fix it.

Its a small independent board with a flexible ribbon cable. can be changed in 10 minutes
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John Charles:
Okay so tried sticking the usb end in a bowl of dried rice overnight and it seems to have done the trick so I'm guessing some moisture got in the usb somehow, but really can't think how. Delicate little flowers these notes aren't they:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryce2010:
Note slipped out of my pocket and fell in a snowy/slushy parking lot after a big snowfall. For a few days after that it would randomly go into charging mode.

Perhaps the USB ports are prone to malfunctioning and the drop in the snow aggravated the existing problem.

Happening less and less though. Hope it isn't permanently damaged.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c3pedo:
Same issue on my new galaxy note

After three days, my note has started to do the same.

It suddenly starts to charge with no wire connected, or activates deactivates the car dock mode by itself.

It can work fine for a couple of hours but then becomes crazy with no reason. I'm almost sure that any water has touched the phone.

After entering "crazy mode", even when it has get calm again the phone doesn't recognize the charger wire. Only taking out the battery lets the phone become "normal".

I'm almost sure is a hardware problem.

To be continued ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjimenezjj:
I have the same problem as well after playing in the snow but I fixed mine...

First thing I did was lightly blow-dry the USB side of my note on high-heat for about 5 minutes. I didn't blow-dry the battery or battery area of the phone but that doesn't sound like a bad idea either.

The next thing I did might only serve temporarily as the device needs to dry more: go to settings/applications/development and make sure debugging mode is checked. If its already checked, uncheck it and wait a sec... then check it back on.

I've not seen the thing act up since so I'm crossing my fingers for me and the rest of you. Good luck

P.S. Worse comes to worse, you could always get a new USB port off of EBAY and install it yourself which is what I'll do if I see the charger symbol act up again :-|
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c3pedo:
Fixed !

I fixed my phone too !!!.

Initially I did the same blow the usb side hopping to put out any particule that could be inside the usb hole.

Whit this the phone started to work normally, but one day later it became grazy again, but then I realized that it was only after using one usb charger that I have at the office.

If I don't use that charger the phone works fine !.

Four days working properly !.

I was on KL7 when my phone started going crazy around the third or fourth day. And the phone wouldn't charge when the power was still on, whether it's connected to the pc or wall charger. Cleaned the port and cable ends with rubbing alcohol and that seemed to solve the issue. Wiped cache partition and dalvik cache a few times too. Oh, and I got so spooked I changed back to my previous stock rom. LOL.

Hope this info will help your phones.

poor USB

Well I have had this problem for 1 month now.What finally fixed it was to clean the USB port with brush and nail varnish remover.Some people use a tooth brush take out battery dip brush in nail varnish remover and clean port and leave to dry for at least 20 minutes.I used a brush from electric razor give out a good clean and not to gentle either needs a good clean to remove oxidization.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftabbabar:
it seems like a common problem as many people are beginning to have this usb port problem after a couple of month (or less) use of the note. Cleaning the usb port will solve the problem temporarily but the real solution would be to change the usb port circuit board from the inside of the phone. The usb port circuit is not available on ebay yet but some chinese supplier is selling it out of china.

At first this my exact thought, I went as far as taking the thing apart and reseat all the connection, but problem still persist. I re-flashed kl7/8 multiple times without success.

So I decided to go back to the original firmware, and all my problems went away, it hasn't act up for the past 3 days!

maybe it was coincidence, but I am not messing around with firmwares again, especially when I only use the device for light surfing/email and media player, heck i don't even have the phone modem turn on, not using it as a phone. I know, one expensive portable player.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftabbabar:
I have reflashed the original rom many times, even cleaned the contacts of usb and pushed the pins down a bit. It would correct the problem for some time and I would celebrate my victory. Then when you restart the phone or charge the phone, the problem comes right back. I have seen the same problem in samsung galaxy s2 phone and even in the new nexus phones by samsung. This problem has been noted in galaxy tablets as well. My note lasted a month and then out of nowhere, this crazy charging problem started. My phone is sitting with my phone company for the past 2 weeks and I have a feeling they can't repair it as they don't understand the problem and do not have the required part to replace the defective circuit board. if i get my phone back as it is, I will simply buy the usb charging port and replace it by myself. I have been depressed for the past 2 week over this issue. I really liked the note but if I have to change the board every month, this will ruin all the fun for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftabbabar:
so as expected, my phone company called me and told me to shove my phone up my arse. Claro phone company in domninican republic will not fix my phone. Samsung doesn't fix phones in this country they have to be shipped out to Miami. the catch is, the phone has to be authorized by claro company first in order for samsung to take actions. Now I am stuck with a galaxy note with defective charger circuit. I would have to fix it myself. I will buy the damn part and get on with the repair my self. very disappointed in samsung for issuing phones with defective circuits inside the phone. instead of pushing out so many new models, they should concentrate on the models they have out already and try to perfect them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james1089:

cleaned the usb port with nail polish remover and even took out the usb port circuit and cleaned it good and then re-installed it. even cleaned the ribbon contacts. No difference.

Yepper, guess I celebrated too soon, now this sh*t charging port is acting up again. At least I don't have to deal with the stupid "diving mode" constantly coming on, because I uninstall voice talk. For now I just have to keep swapping out batteries, its a pain in the anus, what can you do. And Germany Service Center takes days to return emails, no words yet if they will fix my phone. I will send it there and pray it gets lost in the mail and claim insurance, I think I had it with this phone. I think I will just stick with what works(iphone), at least they fix their shi*t with no questions ask.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james1089:
try again

I had to do it 3 times before it worked maybe use a longer brush also use a different charge cable.Mine was broke for 1 month now it's not gone wrong for 2 Weeks.The charging cable transfers the oxidation back to USB porl use a different one.dip the old one in the cleaning fluid and leave to dry.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftabbabar:
i have a feeling my aftermarket cover for the note was not allowing my usb cable to connect flat. Instead the there was a downwards bent angle on the usb cable. the opening on the cover was too small for the usb cable to set in correctly. I think this has caused the usb pins (strip) inside the usb port to bend in a certain way to interfere with the charging mechanism. So I have tried cleaning it from inside, tried to push the pins downwards (towards the back of the phone) and even opened up the phone to reset the ribbon cable and even cleaning it on the usb port circuit. nothing gave me long term results.

Now here is what is working now for me so far.

cut open the opening on the cover to allow it to connect properly with usb cable. connect the usb cable and when you disconnect it, just press downwards and slide it out. this will leave the phone functioning normal and without any fake charging errors. It is working for me and I will continue to do that until the part becomes available on the net for me to replace the one I have inside the phone.

I hope this works for others.
