[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] crazy talk:
are you sure you got it in left hand mode? i have mine set to my left hand and tried writing with my right. was off like you said (to the right). tried again with my left hand and it seemed fine. :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Unsinkable II:
I have it set to left handed.

When changing the settings to right-handed and using my right hand (I'm a little ambidextrous) it works fine. Nice and accurate. Mostly because with my right hand I hold the pen at a conventional angle.

However, many lefties don't hold their pens conventionally (habits picked up by the necessity of avoiding ring bindings, minimising smudging, etc). Look at how President Obama holds his pen:

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/images/200901/20090126ho_lefthandedobama_330.jpg

See how the nib of the pen is angled TOWARDS him? The Note thinks it's angled away and puts down a line in totally the wrong place.

Even with my slightly less unconventional left-handed pen hold, it's WAY out (no matter whether the unit is set to left or right hand use, though left is slightly less awful).

How hard can it be for Samsung to provide a calibration app?

Right now, the Note is a phone unsuitable for a President! ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
Do you find any difference when you change the screen orientation then back again?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Unsinkable II:
None at all, unfortunately.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nuclearmonkeyuk:
I find that no matter what I do with the pen it always seems to write half a cm above where I have contact on the screen

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vvs:
SPen uses autocalibration feature, which unfortunately goes off after some time. Which is a bug by itself but not the point..

Everyone complaining about pen being way off try this:

set it to whatever your hand preference. Please phone on flat surface like a table and reboot phone. Do not shake or touch it too much. Open SNote and try to draw around grid lines, you will see that pen works perfectly with tip being exactly as expected.

However more you use pen more it will deviate off until reboot is needed. It happens especially fast if you are using it walking, upside down etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Unsinkable II:
Interesting (though it didn't help in my case)

But it the calibration goes off after time, then there is even more reason to add a calibration facility.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kebong:
I reckon that only happens when you're using landscape orientation and then you turn off autorotation without first returning to portrait orientation. Try turning autorotation on, setting it to portrait and then turn it off. That should fix it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Unsinkable II:
Thanks, but it really is nothing to do with orientation in my case.

It's ALL about the angle at which you hold the S-pen.

It expects the nib to be angled away from you, whereas I hold a pen with the nib angled towards me.

I'm new to the galaxy section so give me a little break. My previous 2 devices never had this issue.

How to you enable the phone to download files(any files) through your 4g network or even wiring?

I cannot seem to be able to download ANYTHING to my phone regardless of wifi or 4g.

I can download from the market which works fine. Its only downloads.from like multi upload and stuff.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
I've had the issue as well. I tried many different sites. Typically megaupload worked for me but not on this device. I have no workaround that I have found yet and can suggest.

Download Astro file manager from the market its free, then open it, go under file manager/ then scroll the top tabs right to "preferences" and put a check mark next to enable browser downloads. Works for me.

I use "Download all files" from the market because astro didn't work for me. Give it a try if you find yourself in my situation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heygrl:
Opera Mobile is also better about downloading files.

I noticed this issue with the browser too. I installed FireFox mobile and it works great for downloading from Multiupload!

yea i had the same problem. it has something to do with the browser, now i am using dolphin Browser HD and no problems i can download from any website i want. so just download another browser from market.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joser24:

samsung galaxy s2 ICS upgrade

Hi

I am new to this game so bear with me. Originally I rooted my phone using odin and put on a rom called lite'ning v6.1 and it is using version gingerbread 2.3.4.

Now that ICS is out, I wish to upgrade to it.

Do I need to do things in this order:

1. remove the rom

2. unroot the phone

3. upgrade to ICS

4. reroot the phone with the old rom or maybe a new one.

tried with odin and it wouldn't work then read your article about kernels and the version i need, ie virgin australia has been removed from the link you put up.

please repost it or let me know where i can get it for free

thanks

Could someone who picked up a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon put up your wallpapers and live wallpapers? I feel like they're different.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] absens:
Waiting for mine to come in and then I'll post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
Why would they be different, it's stock vanilla ICS. Nothing OS wise should be different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Yea nothing different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mean Bro Greene:
Except, of course, my two lovely Verizon applications in /system :p But honestly, the wallpapers are exactly the same. My friend imported a Galaxy Nexus a while back and we were comparing them yesterday. Everything in the OS is essentially identical.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
Alright. I just thought since the background for the Verizon GN and the unlocked GN don't have the same wallpaper that they would be different. If you Google the two, and look at them side by side you'll see what I mean.
[HTC Rezound] BustVZW:
Upgraded my wife to a Rezound that came in yesterday. What the heck is up with the proprietary cable?

I thought we'd all moved past this nonsense. I had a standard Micro-USB cable with my Dinc2 that worked JUST FINE. :mad:

And before you all feel the need to tell me, yes I KNOW that a standard Micro-USB cable will still charge the Rezound, but why make the included cable different then? :confused:

Sorry for the rant. Carry on...
[HTC Rezound] brockeverly:
Stupid rant. Its called an EXT-micro usb. It is EXACTLY the same to use your old cables, these are just more secure and keep dumbasses from forcing the plugs in upside down.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah man, it's def a more secure lock than the standard micro usb i believe. fits a lot more snug; maybe now we won't be seeing the problems we saw iwth the Inc 2, which was all of the usb charge ports coming lose on the board and having to be replaced!!
[HTC Rezound] jcdrummr:
No, its a totally legit rant. This is my first micro-usb phone, and as such, the provided cable is the only one in the house. Most of my friends and my wife have micro-usb phones and none of them can use my cable in a pinch. HTC did the same thing with my TP2 and its mini ext port, and it was an annoyance more often than you would expect.

This "policy" only screws owners with a unitasker cable (alton brown anyone??), while providing no noticeable benefit (making sure its plugged in correctly? really? This cable doesnt make it easier to plug in blindly, and if you have to look at it to plug it in anyway, then regular micro-usb cables shouldn't be any problem...). I'm right there with ya, Bust

edit: I suppose a more stable connection, due to it being bigger than a standard micro port is a valid argument, but I havent had any problems with the standard micro cables that I've tried.
[HTC Rezound] BVKnight:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't one of the advantages of the ext USB that it can also carry audio? I think this is what allows the MHL and hdmi adapters to work, as well as the car docks that you just set the phone in to charge and play audio. And since it is backward compatible, there seems to be no disadvantage to using the newer port.
[HTC Rezound] tynan:
It's a stupid rant because a standard HTC micro USB cable is like 4 bucks shipped. If you have so many issues with it, buy the four dollar one. I prefer my the ext micro USB, the standard micro USB on my OG Droid sucked, always felt like I was going to break the damn thing.

Seriously, it's four bucks.
[HTC Rezound] jcdrummr:
I dont think anyone is complaining about the cost of extra cables, just the fact that the cable cant be used for anything else. I'd be picking up extra cables anyway. In my experience with the mini-ext, I loved the fact that I could use one of the 20 mini cables I had lying around. Seriously...cameras, mp3 players, mice, GPSs...everything had a cable that would charge my phone. The fact that the cable provided by HTC could only be used for one device just seemed silly to me. Its not a big deal, which may be a requirement of yours for rants to be considered valid, but it is a legit gripe...IMO.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
They did it just to piss you off :D.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Its a new standard... micro USB had similar rants about it... (just like any new standard) "I can't use my reguar USB cables with it, regular USB was fine blah blah" just like any new standard connection it takes people a while to catch up.

The complaint about single use cable... HDMI is single use yet no one complains about it.

This cable is a new standard that combines USB with a media (HDMI) connection. This allows us to have only one connection port on our devices rather than two. Which brings up the point that other phones had special one off connections for HDMI that required an adapter, and it took up extra room on the device.

Micro USB was pretty much the standard for phones for at least the past year and a half, (not just smart phones either) and all those cords are compatible with this new standard.

At least this is a new standard and not some HTC only crap.
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
I ordered my Rezound online. What pissed me off was .... I get my new phone and suddenly I can not charge the dam thing in my car because the plug is different than my Touch Pro 2 / old Motorola Q9 handset usb cord. Then I had to run up to the dumb VZW store and pay $32 for a proprietary car charger . Man, what a rip.

[HTC Rezound] ilkevinli:
You people do realize the normal micro USB cables fit in the Rezound right ?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Yeah from all the other posts I believe they do. I know I do and use them all over the place (work, car, bedroom, family room, etc.). I like the fact the new one snaps in and would love to get a couple more.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
umm, you can get some standard micro usb cords. The tp2 and q9 handsets are quite old and use mini-usb's which haven't been the standard in about 2 years. you can also buy mini to micro usb adapters that plug into the mini usb and make it a micro usb. Cost me 5bucks a piece on amazon...

Or you could complain about not doing your homework before you bought the phone. Yeah, lets do that instead...

I would stick to the higher quality micro usb cords, like the ones that have come with other htc phones. Those have worked fine for me, but a split micro usb cord I use at work to charge my bolt and my hotspot caused my phone to overheat.
[HTC Rezound] Xtreme Outcast:
Not My Problem Other People Can't Use My Cable. It Would Be Nice And Generous As I Like To Be; I Can't Please Everyone.

Also Think Back Before The Micro-USB Almost Every Phone Has A Different Cable For Charging.
[HTC Rezound] BustVZW:
If this is true, I'll take back everything I said. Link?
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
OK two things...

First, this is NOT ExtUSB. ExtUSB was what the older HTC devices had. It was compatible with the mini-USB. It combined mini-USB with audio out connections. (11 pin VS the standard 5, while normal USB was 4)

That is the ExtUSB, it is shaped like the mini-USB but with only one bottom corner tapered.

Here is a picture of other styles as comparison. The type most used with mobile devices was mini-B, the new standard for phones is micro-B

Second, the Rezound uses MHL, it is compatible with both variants of microUSB cables.

Wikipedia page about MHL

Oh, and this too...

[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I don't know about you but I have numerous mico-USB cables sitting around from my older phones.
[HTC Rezound] brockeverly:
It is an extMICRO usb, not an ext usb. Next time read a little better before trying to disprove something that was not even stated.
[HTC Rezound] dpiddy14:
The only device I heard of using extmicro is the flyer. Looking in our devices port it seems to be just 5 pins. I believe extmicro is 12 pin. I have a MHL adapter and I use a standard 5 pin micro usb cable with it and it works fine. It passes audio and video over the cable.
[HTC Rezound] brockeverly:
It is only 5 pins, but the connection is still an ext plug style per the part number on the usb cable. Point is, this is nitpicking, all micro plugs work so its not a big deal that the plug sent is different.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
The plug fits my girl's Rhyme just fine.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Truthfully, it is not nitpicking to me to want the exact cable that came with the phone. It clicks in and stays a lot more stable. I wore out a couple of charging ports in other phones with the old style cable since they fit pretty sloppy and wobble a lot. I tend to plug and unplug a lot testing ROM's

That is why I keep asking in threads like this where I can get an exact OEM version of the cable that comes with the Rezound. Searching on the cable part number always returns universal cables and I have a bunch of them.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Ok, I miss read.

The only info I can find on it is sale pages for chargers, and HTC lists it as MHL on their specs.

HTC Flyer spec sheet

What is the part number? Where did you find it?

HTC does have the habit of making odd connections that are backwards compatible.

[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
this is what I was goin to say. How do you not have like a dozen micro USB cables. Hell, I use my kindles usb cable to charge my rezound at night cause i like to lay in bed and use my phone, and the supplied cable is too short.

the phone can use ANY micro usb cable, but the cable only works with the rezound.. so who cares. are you seriously complaining that the supplied cable only works with the phone.

now, if the phone ONLY used that 1 cable, sure.. rant away, but as it sits, this seems like a silly thing to complain about.

The cable that came with it doesn't ONLY work with the Rezound lol. It works with the OG Inc.

[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
Ummm.. I did more than my share of homework before I bought this thing. I went through all of verizons smartphones and spec sheeted them on pdadb.. besides reading 500 reviews on all of them. Thats how I ended up passing up all those Motorolas. Too many problems. The usb jack was the last thing I thought they'd changed over. Everyone I know personally with an Android phone has the mini usb jack on it. I used to borrow their chargers for a quick charg up for my TP2 . So I just auto figured it was the same. I never seen a micro until this set.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Ummm, the last phone I had that had a mini USB was my touch pro 2. that was before Android. I'm surprised any Android phones came with mini USB

Dumb a** me. I wish I had known that a regular micro USB would fit. I included all my micro USB stuff with the sale of my charge, just because it looked different. Sigh.....

I think of the newer stuff with mini, it was the cheaper android phones. All the mid to high end went to micro a couple years ago. Heck even feature phones are using micro USB. (more so if the sell the model in Europe as well)

I had the same problem. Even though 'enable third party apps' is checked, I still could not click the install button. My problem was an app named Juice Defender.
