[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eltrutgnik:
I was using my tablet for couple hours and still had around 60% of battery. I turned off the tab because I had to go do something for couple minutes, when i come back my tab wont turn on anymore?

I just got my tab yesterday from costco, i haven't rooted it or done anything, its factory fresh.

Is this common?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Not common. Assume you tried holding the power button down until a forced restart occurs (should force restart after holding for 15 seconds or so if the OS had crashed).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eltrutgnik:
yes i did. didn't work.

i ended just returning it, im just going to preorder the transformer prime. =]

thanks though
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] easy808:
I also had this problem twice since purchasing it new in October. Same scenario as yours, battery had a lot of life left and it shut down. I persistently tried to turn it on but nothing happened. I decided to plug it in and charge it for a couple minutes and tried to turn it on again. After about 5 minutes or so, it came back to life!

I called Samsung and they are expecting me to send it back for repair. They did state that it as not common nor were they aware of the problem. Unfortunately, I have to take care of the return cost for warranty since I live in Hawaii... If i were state side, they would have taken care of the expense...

I just saw this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_xf327gixc&feature=related

but its possible? just simple as that?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
I assume so. Sony Ericsson phones don't even have CarrierIQ as far as I know.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneyofdeath:
No they don't
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Carrier IQ is deeply integrated in kernel level and probably even deeper than that. To totally remove it is risky for the phone's functions. Removing parts of it or restricting some of its features might be possible. But SE phones do not contain Carrier IQ software.
[Epic 4G General] TheSkipperCDB:
I had a question regarding calibrating the compass. I've read the threads and seen the video about the compass calibration, but I did have 2 questions that I haven't been able to find the answer to yet:

1) How often does the compass need to be recalibrated? Is there anything that affects it - meaning, any actions or anything that may require the compass to be recalibrated more or less frequently?

2) GPS Status has a Compass Calibration option, and I've seen similar options in other apps. Do these options do anything like put the phone in a recalibrating-the-compass mode? Or can the compass calibration be done at any time? Does the screen need to be on? Does the phone even need to be on (don't know why I'd calibrate then - just curious since I don't understand what the calibration does)?
[Epic 4G General] TheSkipperCDB:
Does anyone know?
[Epic 4G General] runngwlf:
You would probably get a fast response if you posted your question in the correct section (Q & A) thank you will in general, jus sayin.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Personally I recalibrate (via the figure 8 method) any time I notice the compass is off. I leave my screen on (usually in Maps) and wave the phone around and it gets pretty accurate after recalibrating.
[Epic 4G General] rando991:
Pretty much anytime you haven't used the compass for a while, you will need to recalibrate. I use a combination of holding the phone straight out and waving it vertically (referenced to the ground) in a figure 8, then just holding it arm straight out and turn my body 360 degrees so that the phone has gone thru all the points of the compass.

Note, this is not the same thing as fixing the upside down calibration which only needs to be done once.
[Epic 4G General] TheSkipperCDB:
Oops, sorry about that...I should have posted there, but I can't move the thread now
[Epic 4G General] offtohavasu:
When using Google maps, I have to "figure 8" my phone 90% of the time. Sometimes to get it to point the right direction or to just get the "pointer" to unfreeze.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Hey guys,

After having my Galaxy Nexus for little over a week, the battery is starting to worry me. I don't think the battery would ever last me one full day with heavy usage and I was wondering, do you guys know of a website or a retailer that sells an extended battery/extra battery or on the go charger for the Galaxy Nexus? I'm probably going out for the holidays and I don't want the battery to die on me.

I am using the GSM variant of the Galaxy Nexus from Bell on Android Revolution HD (though I did notice the same battery life on the stock rom :/)

Also, on a side note, does anyone have a good site to get a USB otg adapter or a MHL-HDMI cable/adapter for a good price?

Note: I'd prefer not buying from Ebay, as I have had bad experiences in the past. Something like Amazon would be preferred.

Thanks,

Mosh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luigi90210:
if your using the gsm gnex i would get the gnex carcharger from vzw, it charges the phone really fast(like the home charger) until you can find a gsm extended battery online or something
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Gir_:
I'd go nuts having to constantly swap out my batteries to charge them at the end of the day. Get the charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Monoprice is a good place for cables. Power sources though are kind of meh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] white lie:
I've got a spare battery and the factory stand that can charge the extra battery without it being in the phone on order. Not sure when they'll reach my shores but apparently "not too far away". I'm sure you could find a supplier where ever you are. IMO they were reasonably priced for genuine accessories
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Thanks for the replies guys! I don't think I can get a charger from Verizon and it would probably be expensive. Oh, and just to confirm, by charger you mean on the go (without an outlet)?

EDIT: Also, do you guys know of any good websites in Canada?

EDIT2: Amazon is preferable! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volfman:

Been trawling the interwebs for an extended battery for gsm (like the gs2 one), If anyone comes across anything please post :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brianhh1230:
Extended battery is still on sale for $24.99 I just ordered mine last night. Click the link and add to cart and it will price drop to $24.99.

Enjoy.

I'll let you know how much extra battery it actually gives once I get it but its supposed to help.

I would post the link but since I'm still so new it will not let me but just go to Verizonwireless and find it under the accessories. The Retail stores are doing the same deal as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
THANKS! :D

So, does anyone know if the first one is compatible?

http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-Ultr..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324279677&sr=1-6

Did you order from Verizon? Or from the link posted above?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brianhh1230:
I ordered directly from verizon, get free 2 day shipping as well. Its a actual bigger battery with new backplate to fit it directly onto the phone, so other then that you don't really even know you have the extended battery. I will know once it comes it how much bigger it makes the phone but I've heard its pretty minimal on the look of it. I don't know if this supports the GSM model since I am on Verizon and have the LTE/CDMA phone.

i'm sorry for my poor english

i'm using a 9020T

after flashing the stock 4.0.3 OTA, everything is good except browsing some chinese sites(such as www.163.com www.sina.com.cn in desktop mode) with the stock browser

on those sites, when i zoom in to max, the characters will not be clear after several secs(for 5-8 secs most of the times, though sometimes only 2-3 secs ,and sometimes 15+ secs,so i think maybe something is bugged)

and then, after the characters are ok and the redering finished , if zoom out to min again, it will use even more time to show all page than zooming in.

i tried to do a full wipe , unfortunately the issue persists in a newly flashed ics4.0.3 with no google account logged,with almost every setting disabled, even with no sim card

also tested with 3g /edge / wifi.

but what the strange thing is, i have asked some 9023 people but they don't have the issue, and one of my friends using 9020T just got the same as i got.

i've seen some one on xda get the same issue on visiting a non-english site

Same here. All of my HTC phones had excellent GPS while my Samsung Galaxy S2 - Epic Touch was so bad that it was unusable. The Note however is on a different level. Super fast locking and dead on accurate. Used Google navigation today to find a church. Was pretty impressive.

GLONASS it's a pro GPS chipset...

just EXAMPLE:

If regular phone (with out Glonass) finds 8-9 satellites, of them are working only 3-4.

The phone with GLONASS finds 19 satellites and 17-18 working from them.

any questions people?;)

I did a test with a colleague. We put my Note and his non-GLONASS phone side by side and used "GPS Status". His phone got a fix faster than my Note and both phones saw the same amount of satellites. I wanted to check if my Note finds Glonass but I can't really tell. His phone was T-mobile MyTouch. I was disappointed :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Karlson2k:

Where can I test that out? Where is GPS not available?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ITPiraten:
I would really like to know the answer to this question too. Since GPS is global, I really need to educate myself about GLONASS before I test this stuff out.

However, as long as the GPS is working better then on the S II I'm happy.

:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NV30:
Try GPS Test. Satellites with numbers over 60 = GLONASS.

My screenshot taken near window:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

GLONASS is global too. At this moment 24 satellites working. Planned to make the active 30 satellites.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ITPiraten:
I've "educated" myself about the GLONASS system now. While doing so I read about the Galileo system for EU. That seems to be something promising.

I think it's cool that Galileo provide both way communication with satellites. How cool apps could spawn from this... =)

I was in the same boat as you earlier this week. I was still using the same sim for probably the past 4-5 years.

Next I had to call up 611 and have them change my data plan which was previously listed as "Blackberry Personal Unlimited" <--LOL and switch it over to one of the new LTE unlimited plans.

Took about 5 mins on the phone with the ATT rep and I had LTE service. Congrats on the phone! I've had mine for less than a week and am loving it!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bullet358:
You may have to perform what's called an IVR acceptance. I'm recently separated from the company but I consider myself a decent expert on the processes. Did you order the phone from online/call center? If so, when AT&T sends the phone, due to you not being able to PHYSICALLY sign a contract when you upgrade/activate, etc., they place this feature on your account until you dial *862 (from the CURRENT, not new, phone) and accept the terms. You'll need the Billing Zip, Account Holder's Last 4, and the phone # of course. It's all automated. Try that out and THEN insert the new SIM in the SR. It amazed me how many customers would call CARE or go to a store and get stuck for hours because the "rep" thought it was a technical issue when it's really a 2 minute process.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

I'm assuming you just attempted to just swap the SIM into the LTE SR and keep it rolling. They're correct when they say you need a new SIM. There's a coding to the network that older (especially 2008) SIM cards won't accept because the network hadn't been constructed @ the time. You will ALSO need an LTE data plan on the account so make sure you've done that as well.
