[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowg:
OK, I have the Note and have entered a bunch of stuff into S Planner using Kies Air which I like. Now I'm wondering if the phone fails for any reason, now what? S Planner doesn't seem to exist in the cloud, just on the phone. I would like to know that my whole schedule won't be gone if something happens. I am not rooted and I don't necessarily want to root although I have rooted other phones before. My main reason for not wanting to root is in preparation for ICS.

SO here are the questions.

If I stay unrooted:

1. Can I use a non-root app like MyBackup Pro to back-up everything especially my calendar in S planner. Meaning will it actually save all my appointments so I can restore to get them back.

2. Is there some other way to do a one click back-up of S Planner that I don't know about (like to Outlook).

If I root:

3. Will CF-Root keep me from getting OTA upgrades to ICS

4. Will CWM let me back-up S Planner completely?

5. Will Titanium backup let me back-up S Planner completely?

6. Will I have to wipe the phone entirely to go to ICS?

Answers to any of these questions would be appreciated.

Current Devices:

Samsung Galaxy Note KK9 on T-Mobile with Sonic Hotspot for data, LG G2X CM7 (Nightly #201 + GPS mod), HTC Mytouch 3G slide CM7

Past Devices. Most recent first:

HTC Touch Pro (great phone), HTC Apache, Audiovox Thera (lovable weirdness), HTC XV6600 (what a phone!), Kyocera 6035 (those were the days)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowg:
Nevermind. I just realized that I can use regular Kies to back-up the phone. And I can sync to Outlook through it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jayGGjay:
I don't know if anyone else have noticed/know but there is a pinch and zoom built in the calendar, it works very well from what I have test for now and seems cool.

If you have any other tips please share
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ericshmerick:
I do like it...in fact, I haven't installed Pocket Informant that I own.

Question: why do the tabs on the right disappear instantly when you open the calendar? I know you can pinch and zoom, but how can you bring up the tabs?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hoyoonbid:
Wow. Awesome finding! I hated to click click click to change the view..... and now. S calendar becomes my main calendar again.

My only grief is that only it doesnt shrink in density 240..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] muralikrishna.varma:
wow, didnt noticed that before :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] edbanger1975:
you can also use two fingers to swipe from right to left of the screen to bring up the tabs.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
For those that don't want to wait or need something right away, Walmart's substituting the G-Tab for the Acer Iconia. It's not the Prime but it's got a good dev community and it could hold you over for a couple of months until Asus gets their act together and/or there are other Teg3's out. At $349 you could probably sell it on eBay/CL for close to what you paid for it.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
Or buy from costco and return it when prime comes out. That's what I did, had a xoom wifi day it came out, but then I had buyers remorse so returned and got a transformer

Sent from my Galaxy S2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
Here's the thing, around that same price is the original Asus Eee Pad Transformer which is of the same hardware specs as the Acer Icona and Galaxy Tab 10.1. All which are better than the iPad 2.

But none are on the level of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime with it's Tegra 3 CPU, ultra advance display, high MP dual cameras, extra storage space, etc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ericc191:
Don't even waste your time on the 10.1. It is outdated tech. Have some patience and be rewarded.

The number one thing I am so excited for is native mkv support. So psyched! I returned my 10.1 because of how annoying it was converting all my media.
[Kindle Fire General] guyute74:
Although I have a pattern enabled to unlock the fire, it unlocks with no security. Anyone else?
[Kindle Fire General] borborpa:
Try searching first.

There is a tablet setting under the settings menu that disables the screen lock.
[Kindle Fire General] CrackMonkey91:
Yah he is right. It's in tablet tweaks

On another topic I would stay away from from pattern lock it looks horrible on such a big screen. I use the pin lock method just cause it does not look really stupid like the pattern method.
[Kindle Fire General] guyute74:
Perfect, thank you.

Regarding searching first, Yes... maybe I should have dug deeper. I've been trolling the forum since 08 and playing with Cyanogenmod since the earliest days on my G1 but I didn't think this was another "I'm in a bootloop" question.

What is a forum without conversations.

Of all the variants of cm I'm not sure I've seen one with lockscreen disabled by default. So, I assumed there was a setting I was missing.

Thanks again...

And also thanks for the suggestion on the pattern vs. pin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
...and I might return it. I really am not terribly impressed with it. ICS is cool and all but I would much rather have a bone stock ICS ROM running on my Epic Touch. My biggest complaint about it, besides how narrow the screen is, is that games just don't run nearly as smooth on it as they do on the E4GT. I know it has a weaker GPU, but I didn't realize it wasn't powerful enough to run Riptide GP without dropping frames all the time. Pretty disappointing, TBQH. Verizon has an extended buyers remorse period because of the holidays. I am going to hang on to it till Jan 14th and give it a serious chance but so far it's not looking good.

edit: Oh yeah, I HATE how the home/back/tasks soft keys persist even when playing games. That's the main reason why I returned my Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus, and I can't tell you how disappointed I am that they are still there in ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockethot:
Such a shame that the Galaxy Nexus is such a let down. My friend has one so I played around with his for an hour or so. There was some choppiness during transitions here and there. Only reason I'd pick it over an Epic Touch is because it's a Nexus device. But since it's not available for Sprint it's not a phone I'd buy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
It has the gpu of the galaxy s1, that may explain why it doesn't hum like our phone. The ti processor is very good, perhaps >= exynos but the gpu kills it.

Only thing I love is the screen (except that the on screen buttons can't be toggled) and ICS, seems like the colors are more real. In every other aspect, I have to go with the S2 (minus the tmo and skyrocket variants)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fataldesain:
I just got my gf a nexus s for cheap and I am using her phone more than mine it run ics well right now. Our phone with a a sop ics from will be freak in amazing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
It's the gpu of the original galaxy s, clocked almost twice as fast. But it's still not as fast as the mali in the s2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Higher clock speed can only improve speed so much. Look at the Pentium 4 lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
I played around with my coworker's GNex and I think its nice and all, but......

I can't stand the lack of search button and the lack of a menu button. I felt like I was using a Pre or iPhone, I couldn't find out where the flippin' options were easily (I know that most have a little menu button in the top corner, but that's not apparent to me). Try to get to settings quickly? you can't without finding that app for settings. I also found it pretty laggy compared to my E4GT.

I do like the core app GUI changes, however. Very nice. The phone itself though....meh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
Just can't understand why Samsung is putting diffrent specs in the same model line phone on different carriers. Why does the T-Mobile version of the s2 have a different processor? That's ****ing retarded.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
It has to do with wireless capabilities (or lack thereof) of the chip sets...same for the GNx.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
I'm speaking of the galaxy s2 models why nit just have the same specs on all carriers. Why does on carrier get one with one dual processor and the next gets a different brand. Why not stay uniform. And honestly imho the galaxy s line should be THE Google phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Compatability. For example, T-Mobile's 42 Mbit/s HSPA+ network is not compatible with exynos which is why they have a different processor.

Sent from my E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
The downside if exynos is Android does not natively support it. So every time Google releases an os, Samsung has to port it which is no small task.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
Why not not make a chip that is compatible for both
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bobturismo:
Probably for the same reasons car manufacturers don't make cars that run on gas and diesel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
I'm only asking cause it just seems like its not cost efficient. Plus if they all run the same hardware the you can have a one patch fix all type stuff
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
That is a good question. They should beable to use same Chipset in each version of the GSII.

Look at the iPhone 4/4S. It has the same exact chipset / cpu on Verizon / ATT / Sprint "I Think"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
Exactly. While I am not a apple fan I love the uniform manner in their devices.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
You guys do realize the iphone does not utilize 4G so the processor can be the same across the board. However, android phones do use 4G and not all networks are created equal (ex: HSPA+ FOR T-mo). Hence, the different specs.

Sent from my E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
They can make a chip that can utilize both. Its called research and development. Cost more at first but then its less to manufacturer one chip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
The 4 is an A2 CPU and idk what gpu its running. The 4s is running an A3, is dual core, and beefier gpu. The iPad 1 and iPhone 4 use the same CPU, that's why there are jailbreaks available for them. IPad 2 and iPhone 4s share the same CPU. Its speculated its clocked higher on the pad. There also isn't a jailbreak for the A3 powered devices. There's no difference in hardware between the carriers of the same model phone. All 4 are the same and all 4S are the same.

I had a 4S for a couple of months on sprint before coming back to Android. I did some homework before and during owning the phone too.

I understand aosp is different than touchwiz. One alternative I could suggest is to get the et4g. Root, recovery and no ciq it after updating to ek02. After that, run sprint id and choose the clean pack. That is a bare bones setup, stockish launcher, and no touchwiz. Then go into the system/app directory and do something like add ".old" to the end of the apk of the bloatware and touchwiz crap. Now you have a pseudo asop looking ROM with the bloat rem'd out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
I still don't get why it bugs you so much. Just speculation, but probably creating one processor for all the US variants more than likely would've reduced performance. Yes, it's called R&D and I assume they recommended this in order to put out the US SGSII models by this year. I doubt they would gladly want to use other processors (Snapdragon) over their own.

Sent from my E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hussmanne:
They probably did the R, and it wasn't worth the D.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Seems like the tmo gs2 and att skyrocket were after thoughts and they used an existing chip that works instead of making an entirely new one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Basically the point I was trying to make :D

Sent from my E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
WHICH IS VERY LAZY whoops caps but i'm too lazy to go back and erase lol. why not make a one schiup fits all. then updates and stuff can blanket all sets. then there is no problem with this galaxy s2 and not that one. this galaxy s2 game will run on this variant but not the exact same model phone for another carrier. to have a perfect ONE DEVICE is easy. and hell to be quite honest it would make development easier too. i guess i like simplicity over laziness. then patches can be easily rolled
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Because the exynos and GS2 existed long before those 4g variants. In the GS3 I'm sure it'll be uniform l.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Okay, the SGSII variants are for Sprint, At&t, and T-mo. The Exynos 4210 processor was in the works long before AT&T introduced LTE and before T-mo's HSPA+ 42 network was fully implemented. Sprint on the other hand hasn't changed. As a result, Sprint gets the Exynos (in addition to AT&T's Attain) and due to compatability issues (Samsung can't predict the future ya know) the Skyrocket (AT&T) and the Hercules (T-mo) lost out. Samsung wouldn't rush out to create a processor just to please you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
i think it would please everyone to have a device that works with no downsides. and your snide remark isn't needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Samsung would have left out 4g before they manufactured new chips, its a money thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I'm speculating now but I'm pretty sure the radio section of a phone is NOT embedded in the cpu/gpu.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
It isn't. It has to do with the radio's compatibility with the processor.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Wow this thread got off track!

I'm pretty much decided on returning my Galaxy Nexus. The hardware just can't compete with the E4GT and while I do love ICS, it's not enough to make me keep it. The GPU sucks, the camera is mediocre, battery life is abysmal, and I actually don't like the screen. Definitely not worth keeping when I already have a phone that I truly love.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] webran61:
I've seen people in other forums suggesting that vanilla ICS and the HD screen alone made the Nexus better than the SGSII. Interesting to see neither one of those be a deciding factor for someone.

Perhaps if you held onto the Galaxy Nexus and waited for some devs to make some ROMs and port some kernels you could over/under-clock/volt as you see fit for better battery life and better graphics performance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Yeah but when you consider out of the box specs and performance, to me at least, I chose et4g. I loved the vanilla experience but the camera and its abilities is an important thing to consider. Comparing the epic 4g and the nexus s 4g, the epic's camera was much more preferred. It had abilities with the camera and associated hardware for recording and playback that they didn't bake into the nexus. I love you ns4g, and will probably never get rid of you, but when they made you, they did a half-assed job. Looks like history repeated itself with the galaxy nexus. I'd like to see if motorola or lg could come up with a nexus super phone because Samsung isn't pushing the envelope with the line. I fear that if Samsung makes the fourth version of the nexus, its mediocrity will kill the nexus reputation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] webran61:
I'm thinking Google will look in-house to Motorola for the next Nexus, seeing as they now own it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Maybe but more likely cause moto has yet to release a nexus device and looking at the Droid RAZR, they're finally getting better at making their phones look good.

Sent from my E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I had the Epic and had it replaced with a NS4G and the camera is a big disappointment. Hell, I got my Nexus wet and my camera isn't working. I have insurance but I haven't even bothered getting it fixed. I take all of my pictures with my Epic Touch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gwtx2:
That's strange. I run Riptide with no issues whatsoever. Maybe you have something else going on. An app hogging CPU maybe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Quis89:
That's what she said.

Yea?! Yea?!?

size is not matter but battery is everything

Hey guys,

I am planning to buy this model but I need a strong push I guess :) Could you tell me how long does the battery last before O.S update. (In other forums some people said 12 hrs with 2G only which is awful, I wonder if it is as that bad actually).

Moreover, I am planing to buy it from ebay which claims it is unlocked, but it is not clear if the phone is factory or seller unlocked. I mean if I update the O.S of unlocked phone is it gonna be locked to a specific carrier again. What about rooting? Is it matter for rooting as well?

Thanks
