[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terje.tel:
I've had this echo issue for the callers in the other end from when I got my Note in December. Two version of GB and now finally ICS and the problem is still there. Today I went to the service center and the changed a lot of parts in the phone (mainboard, mic, receiver ...) and when I got home the problem was still there. I've been troubleshooting this for a few hours and found that using the phone without any case has the problem, with a case it's worse. And, when I remote the back cover of the phone, the problem goes away completely. Anyone else still have the problem and experiencing the same thing? Just call someone, confirm the echo and then remove the back cover of the phone, for me that resolves the problem completely every time. So, what did Samsung do wrong here? Are the sound travelling in the back cover from the speaker to the bottom microphone? Are there any pressure made by the back cover which cause this? Why is the problem worse when I add a case on the phone?

My solution to echo

I had the same problem. My solution is/was simple -- hold the earpiece tight into your ear. The echo for the receiver goes away.

The echo was caused by the phone picking up the sound from the Note's earpiece. I always have the phone on max volume so this made it the worst.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terje.tel:
I got my phone completely fixed today. After realizing that removing the back cover fixed the issue, we also found that removing the pen fixed the issue. So, replaced all back plastic, new back cover and new pen, still problem wasn't fixed. So only thing not replaced was the screen, replaced the screen and problem was fixed. The service-tech told me after that the antenna part from my phone and the new parts was different. I had one of the first batches Note's that came to my country. Now the phone is perfect, even when I have it in a case which did amplify the problems before.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srinath884:
echo in note fix

My note developed this problem after my charging post was replaced by the authorized service center. Probably something happened when they opened it and re fixed. When I complained of the echo problem they reluctantly took the phone but only to return it after hard reformatting which did not solve the problem.

I noticed the the following:

1. Echo disappears if the phone is pressed hard to ear thus preventing sound from reaching secondary mike.

2. No echo if back is removed and used exposing battery, etc. I am still puzzled by this as sound should still be traveling from speaker to mike.

3. After several weeks of experimentation, hundreds of test calls, reading several posts (many gave placing pieces of visiting card over speaker and mike after opening up the phone and closing the phone-it did not work for me even after several attempts), I found a solution which worked well.

4. Close/seal the secondary mike hole at the top with a sellotape and test. and it worked well. Then I opened up the phone (9 screws, removing back with priser, etc) and placed a small piece of vising card strip inside the mike hole and closed the phone. Thus no unsightly taspe is visible. You can even sell it in second hand market if you haste your phone!

No problem ever since. You can testy it yourself as it is easy to place the tape.

My experience

Sorry for my englisn. I wanna share my experience of fighting with the same echo problem in my note3. I tryed to solve problem about mounth. I have stock rom no rooted. When android changed to kitkat I anderstood that problem was in hardware. I opend my phone and tryed to isolate upper microphone. No effect. Yesterday I brought my phone to service. Master assessed upper and lower microphones by *#0*#. I heard myself that lower microphone was much more queit. He cleared canal of lower microphones and problem was solved!
[Kindle Fire General] Bman.:
Evening all-

Post #1 of many I suspect. I have been tinkering around with my KF trying to make it a bit more tailored to my needs. I have been reading up on rooting, gathered my tools and have done this much:

1) Installed Android SDK + installed some of the tools noted in the 'how-to"

2) Without thinking I installed rootexplorer (2.15) when I meant to install ES File Explorer

...too a break for the night. It was getting late and my charge was less than 50% so I called it a night.

3) Today I go to use Wifi Transport and I get the message:

The folder 'ftp://..../documents' os read-only because the proxy server is not set up to allow full access.

To move, paste, or delete files... you must use a different proxy.

So, the question is, related to something I have done installing the SDK or running adb.exe or root explorer?

I haven't changed anything on my wifi so I am not sure what this message is really telling me. I don't run through a proxy.

Any suggestions to correcting the read/write access?

Thanks -

Benjamin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diddly3000:
hi lads im a new member to the site this is my first post. i have been using the turkbey rom since 29.0 and i bloody love it its fast smooth and has superb battery life, iv tried a good few roms but i find this to be the best for me by a good distance. i have one problem tho, when im on the phone browsing etc the back of phone heats up and i get random reboots. it only seems to happen if screen is on for any length of time like browsing etc for 20 mins+

any help would be appreciated.

im using the void echo kernal which has amazing battery life, im not overclocked or under volted just using stock void echo settings with lionheart govner.

p.s because i am a new member i cant actually post on the turkbey thread because i haven't got the 10 posts minium required to post. if this is not the right thread for this post i apologise :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enzopreme:
I also had that issue with your exact same configuration. I fixed it by using a different kernel. Try using the Siyah 2.4.2, or 2.5.1 kernel, if you don't want to OC you don't have to.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diddly3000:
Thanks enzo I'll give it a whirl, how is battery life on siyah these days? And have you tried the phenomenal kernel? Might give it a try. Thanks again
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enzopreme:
no i havent tried it cause im on the i777 not the i9100, but the siyah kernel has provided me with an amount of satisfaction that i dont have to/want to try anything else really. the siyah kernel is awesome and the battery life is great to, im OC'd to 1600 with stock voltage and i get anywhere from22-24 hours with very heavy usage.

[HTC Rezound] xsilvercivicx:
hey guys i finally got my s off dev rezound and i can't figure out how to code a rom to have it flash it... do i have to name it something for it to flash??? in the bootloader? whats the best way for me to flash a custom rom on this thing?

any info would be greatly appreciated

thanks
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
AFAIK you need to have a custom recovery such as Amon Ra (Clockwork doesn't exist yet) flashed in order to flash new ROMs. I can't really help you since mine is S-On. :(

[HTC Rezound] Scott:
You dont, you put it in a box and send to me :D

Nah, just flash a custom recovery and then from there you can flash ROMS.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] edenscully:
Hi

one of my friends want to buy Samsung Galaxy Ace... n ofcourse i recommended it, but the dealer she went to, recommended sony xperia neo V saying that there are alot of customer complaints for Ace.

I just wanted to ask, what are the known issues for ace?

i personally use Galaxy Mini and Galaxy S2 and on neither of my devices i had any issues (that were manufacturer related)

thanks! :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] techimanu:
Go for Ace. I have been using ace for about 8 months now and there are no complaints.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] silvercrus1:
the only complain is the battery life but it can be redemed if u know how to save battery and with some apps
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sergini:
He should ask what are those complains about. I absolutely love my ace, he's still a baby with 1year old and never got sick.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jrxtepan:
If you ask this in the Xperia Forum, you'll get completely opposite answers :) ... Ya better check here ... and Let's be honest. Xperia Neo is way better than MY (cause I have one) lovely ACE. It has 1ghz Processor and can record at 720... But see it by yourself!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] xdaboy122:
mm i dont know about others.but they are wrong:p go with SONY ERICSSON XPERIA NEO V

better specs dude wvga,secondary camera ,512 mb ram and 1ghz processer and best one it is planned upgrade to v4.0 awsome. but it will be costlier than ace.............

go with SONY ERICSSON XPERIA NEO V
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jrxtepan:
+1 :) ... I wish I have some money on my pocket... :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 5pace:
RAM is a major issue with this phone. Go for Xperia Neo V!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] edenscully:
lol ok the answers were all mixes xD yet thank u all for replying :)

i totally love samsung.. infact want to work for it one day :p

what i heard though was ace had some signal dropping issues, which ofcourse m sure can b fixed with some upgrade (its just tht those who are totally novice and want to use a smart phone, dont really knw how to and then complaint!)

having said tht, my friend is also a novice :p so i think xperia neo will b good option.. jus tht its battery life SUCKS!

abt battery optimization.. (i've a youtube channel xD http://youtube.com/EdenDroidChannel)

i definitely knw how to optimize battery :) hehe :D

thank u all!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sdotmouse:
It has to be the Neo V. Sony Ericsson have already released a beta ICS build and it is guaranteed an upgrade early next year. The Neo V is superior in every way to the Ace. Official CM support and official ICS. Better processor, better screen, more RAM and the list goes on and on....

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] reyyy96:
Go for ace .
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] franzks:
As much as I'd wish every person in this planet to buy the same phone as me (the bigger the community, the better), I have to admit that the Ace can't compete with the Neo V.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tonyboy3:
go for ace!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Lijop:
dude go for neo v. its not coz ace is a bad performer. when it comes to android go for hardware. neo v is ll bit costly but obviously a better choice plus its getting ics.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Go for the Neo V , it's much better
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dancairo:
Ok, I don't know how well known this is but I've just discovered it by accident and i'm sure there are other nubile note owners like me.

If you bring down the notification bar just a little so that just the first little bit appears, you can slide your finger along it to adjust screen brightness, or just bring it down with your finger on the amount of brightness you want.. i.e finger right to the left for dimmest or to the right for brightest...or anywhere inbetween!

I image this is well known amongst the android community but for me it's a revelation that I thought was worth sharing, as, and for, a first time android owner.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] debsuvra:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
This feature has been on the original galaxy S as well. Make sure that auto brightness setting is disabled in the display settings otherwise the slide notification bar trick wont work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cushcalc:
Notification bar brightness slide

You don't actually have to slide down at all, just touch and hold, then slide left or right. I discovered this from reading the fantastic Galaxy note review on AndroidNZ: http://www.androidnz.net/2011/12/samsung-galaxy-note-complete-review.html
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] apprentice:
Haha.. me too!! Also where I learnt about sliding left or right on a contact to choose to send SMS or call them :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] technillion:
SWEET! Nice find!!

This also explains why on a few occasions my brightness was inexplicably lowered. I was doing this and wasn't even aware of it...ha!

@intruda119 Good youtube vid, particularly liked the screen dead pixel test and s-pen test at 5.00

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
It helps at times to read the manual. I :D

There are few others like taking a screen shot by swiping the side of your palm across the screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dancairo:
Yes, well the hand swipe thing was featured in the advertising videos so we all know about the obvious ones. And, what man reads the manual? surely that takes half the fun out of any gadget and leaves nothing more to discover! :D although my wife has pointed out that you could be a woman so that would explain the manual thing ;)

Dan

(firmly with tongue in cheek) :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexanderbooth:
anyone know if you can make the screen go less bright the minimum brightness is still a bit intense when your using in the dark, say in the morning or at night in bed?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nuclearmonkeyuk:
Didnt know about this.. cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nuclearmonkeyuk:
Actually.. I think it might only work on stock as I've just flashed rocket rom v8 and its not working on that
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] betoNL:
Yes it's a known feature, works all the time when if you are on manual mode (auto-brightness off) and you DON'T need to bring notification bar a little down, just slide your finger on it side-wards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gordonshowers:
I use an app called Screen Filter to do this, it works very well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dancairo:
Yep, use an app called screen filter, it's on the market...look it up and it'll tell you all you need to know

Dan
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] juiceppc:
I guess I'm the only one who can't stand this. As I'm always sliding the notification bar down I ALWAYS accidentally slide it just a hair in either direction. I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN! When I set my brightness I set it there for a reason. This is one thing I CAN NOT stand with Samsung phones. Too many brightness controls everywhere. Just leave it be already. Sheesh.

This is giving me incentive to flash another ROM now. Anyone know how to disable this? Is there a service?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cushcalc:
Another trick I was extremely thankful to find. It didn't seem right to have to make 2 clicks to make a call from the phone app, when making calls is the primary thing I want to do there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rnewton01:
i've been using this feature since i got my captivate last year, and i cannot recall once adjusting the brightness by accident while pulling down the notification screen. have only had my note for a day now, and haven't done it with it yet. although i guess with the size of the screen, it is a bit more awkward grabbing the bar, and maybe that causes your finger to hold it that extra bit of time which activates the brightness function.

if you have "auto brightness" enabled, this feature is deactivated. maybe that will be a better option for ya.

kashmir - you have got to be kidding when I guy puts these up for sale with the following babble:

"Hold on; let me play a sad song on the violin while you complain.

Day in and day out, I am smiling. There isn’t any specific reason in particular, but everything in my life right now is perfect. Not only do I have an amazing job with oodles of growth opportunity at Taco Bell. Right now I’m just making tacos, but my manager told me that he usually doesn’t have employees with my level of enthusiasm and that I could really go places within the company. I have this one idea … it’s sort of like the Crunchwrap Supreme, but it’s literally just two crunchy tacos inside the quesadilla tortilla. Genius, right? Not only would that taste incredible, but Taco Bell wouldn’t even have to buy any additional product … plus assembly would be a snap. My manager beamed when I told him that one.

Besides my awesome Taco Bell career ahead of me, I’ve got a lot more to be happy about. I recently got married to the most beautiful person I’ve ever met. We have two children and they’ve actually been aging at 1.5 times the normal rate, meaning that my 3 and 6 year old are actually 4 and 9 years old. I can’t wait for my 60th birthday when I’m going to be the same age as my first-born … every year after that she’ll be able to give ME advice about getting older!

You’d think that with all those things going on, my life couldn’t possibly get better, right? WRONG! Just last week I came into a windfall of HTC EVO View 4G Tablets. And when I say windfall I mean like 400,000 of them. Literally. I gave a few away to my friends and family, but mostly I’ve just been playing football with them. Boy I love football."

So far, current flyer roms will not work on the View is the general answer.
