[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
1. The GPS is fantastic! It literally outperforms anything else I have ever used, including dedicated stand-alone GPS units.

2. There was initially an issue with AT&T where a particular range of Note IMEI's were being erroneously detected as a tablet device on the system. This issue seems to have been resolved. Even then, not every Note is/was affected anyway. The only other thing I can recommend (apart from configuring the correct APN's, which you can find throughout this forum) is to disable Fast Dormancy. Enter *#*#9900#*#* from your dialer and disable that feature from the menu that pops up. Basically it's a feature that AT&T doesn't use, and disabling it on your Note will vastly improve data speed and reliability.

3. So far I haven't had any issues with apps. Everything I've used looks fine so far.

4. Generally I'm loving the Note. There are a couple of minor (for me anyway) niggles. Mainly, it definitely is a big laggier than the SGS2, but not to the point where it's a deal breaker for me. The lag can mostly be attributed to software for now, but I expect these issues will mostly be solved when ICS is released for it. In the mean time, using SPB Shell 3D in tablet mode instead of TouchWiz has worked wonders. The side button on the s-pen is a little difficult to find just by feeling around for it, but that can be alleviated by etching a # pattern with a razor blade onto the button, giving it just a little more texture. As for actual call quality, honestly it's the clearest and best sounding call quality I have ever heard on a phone, period. Even better than most wired phones I've used!

---------- Post added at 09:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------

Totally agree! Been using the Gingerbread keyboard since my old Captivate, and even on tablets! By far my favourite keyboard!

Well, considering that our unlocked devices are free of any AT&T bloatware or other intrusiveware that would otherwise report the specific use of our own equipment, I'm willing to bet that the only way AT&T would be able to detect that we're tethering is to perform deep packet inspection in order to determine the kind of traffic going through the device. I have tethered with both my old unlocked SGS2 and now my Note using only the stock Android tethering ability with no issues. However, I would recommend that you tether only when absolutely necessary and not abuse it, lest you risk being spotted by the Evil Eye of Sauron. Basically, as long as you don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself, you should be fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] swybs:
Hey guys, I was wondering if someone can help me. While I am relatively new to rooting, etc (my only venture into rooting and related-adventures is with my G1). Anyway, I have a Tmobile Dell Streak 7. I recently heard that they weren;t going to be eligible for the newest Cupcake update, which wouldnt matter anyway, since I defaulted on my payments after a huge fight with Tmobile and have since voided my account with them (after falsely being billed 700+ dollars).

In any case, it is currently running 2.2 software and I need to know the easiest and most efficient way to update it to the newest software. I won't be using it as a data device through a carrier any longer (it will strictly be wifi from this point on) so I don't know if that has any bearing on my approach to installing the new rom. Thanks in advance!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d1verjim:
Hi all,

I live on the UK and was recently on a business trip to the States, where I was lucky enough to win a Xoom Wi-Fi in the company hack-a-thon.

While I was still there it received about 3 ota updates and is now running:

Android version:

3.2.1

Kernel version:

2.6.36.3-g111d827

android-build@apa28 #1

Build number

HTK75D

And the model info on the back is:

FCC ID: IHDT56MT1 IC: 109O-T56MT1

I have a couple of questions that I am hoping the fine people on here can address

1) I've put a 32gb SD card in that was working fine in my Galaxy S and some of the images on it appear in the gallery, but the movies I have on it (mostly avi's) do not. I also cannot browse to the SD card using ES Explorer. Do I need to root to browse to it? What could I use to view the files on the card and play the movies?

2) Will I still receive OtA updates while I'm in the UK (I suspect this is a stupid question, but thought I'd ask anyway)

3) Should I just ditch the base honeycomb and put a custom rom on or do they put out regular ota updates? If so any recommendations?

Many thanks in advance,

James
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d1verjim:
OK. To answer part of my own question moboplayer allows me to browse up to /mnt so I can get to the videos on the external SD card.

Dunno why es explorer won't let me browse up. Time to find an alternate file explorer...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liftman-:
hit the star in es file explorer- your sd card is external1
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I'm not sure how many more honeycomb updates you'll still be getting. Android 4.0.3 is coming soon.

Ace. Thanks very much. Silly of me to think I could go up from /sdcard to / really!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burden010:
You will still receive ota updates in the UK even though it's a US Xoom. Regarding ROMs, if it's something you feel comfortable experimenting with, custom ROMs definitely bring out the best in the Xoom.

I have a problem, for a few times a day i can't give or take calls.

Sometimes me network is diconected, says that i can make only emergency calls.

I found a error, if i type *#*#4636#*#*.

The error is:

GSM Disconnects: State: DcInactiveState disconnected with last try at 01:59 fail because No Error.

How can i make this problem go away? It's very annoying when i can't make a call.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 96georges:
Hey guys, im currently using a Nexus S on the ICS platform, thinking it was a genius idea i uninstalled the stock version of MMS and now i cannot recieve text messages, tried using SDK to install a new CM7 MMS.apk but get nothing but "cant find device", tried emailing it to myself but that just says its already installed, im hoping someone out there can guide me in the right direction for actually sorting the issue (albeit caused by my own stupidity :P)

On a side note im actually shocked how much you can do with an android phone regarding mods, i am definately taking a huge interest in this in the future

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrien13:
Do you guys think the Galaxy S2 is a worthy upgrade from the nexus s because I have the choice to get one right now and wanted to know you guys opinion?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Hardly seems worth it since you'll be switching to a phone running an older version of Android. The Nexus S is still a fairly competitive phone even with year old hardware.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrien13:
the situation i'm in is either get a new phone now or wait 2 more years with the nexus s. Does that change things?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fataldesain:
Well I have the epic touch 4g and it's amazing, now with that said I just got my gf a nexus and put ics on it it also is amazing. The epic is the only upgrade I see and it's worth it but your not gonna get ics for another month or more. Now with calks rom, desparado kernal, and ics theme I love it more than anything (except a galaxy nexus).

If you can get one for not too much money I would say yes as the nexus while it's great with ics and glades kernal it's still not perfect, it's almost there but ics is still early.

Either way each option is good so I say go for the epic touch or wait and pray and hope sprint gets the galaxy nexus because that is the only phone I can see myself leaving the epic for. And once the epic gets ics the epic in some ways is really better.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stkiswr:
My wife's gs2 (epic 4g touch) blows my nexus s 4g away. There is no comparison. After owning it, there are no regrets. I have nexus owners that admit it is a very nice phone lol.

When u look at the camera, battery life, size, CPU, gpu...the list of **** it actually does, built in screen shot, can connect Bluetooth keyboard/mouse, HDMI via mhl adapter...

I have played w ics and plenty of ics roms for my ns4g, owned plenty of phones and the gs2 on sprint is arguably one of the best phones I have ever touched, no pun intended.

My ns4g just feels slow in comparison.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quick99si:
Go try a dual core device at Sprint to get a better idea of the differences. I found the most obvious differences in scrolling rich web pages, doing other stuff while updating apps, using the device during TB backups, etc.

Don't forget, you also get a huge increase in ram, screen size, and even notable boost in battery life (YMMV) . ICS won't be available for a while, so keep that in mind as well.

I have two Epics and two Epic Touches.. one of the latter is new if you want to trade for your NS +, cash :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zelendel:
You can't. Mms uses 1kb of data for each message. Normally on OEM roms they are made to turn the data on just long enough to send the Mms and turns back off if you have the data off. AOSP roms don't work this way. There is no way around it. One of the biggest issues I hear at my store when parents block data from their kids phones.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hollywoodfrodo:
I tried moving my mp3s (songs, ringtones, notification, & alarm sounds) to my internal EMMC folder since all that internal memory seems to just go to waste. However, my phone was then not able to read/play them and the ringtones, etc could no longer be used either. Through these forums, I found out that's somewhat of a known issue, that internal memory on the Dinc was kinda wacked and has never worked as it should with media.

However, exploring my internal memory via Root Explorer, I realized there's an "audio" folder in the system/media folder which then has folders for alarms, notifications, & ringtones. This is where the stock sounds for each of those is housed. I'm wondering if I transfer my mp3's for each of those into the folder if the Dinc will then recognize and play them - this of course is something I can just try myself and see. But my big question is if I do that will that use the "open" internal memory (which is really my only reason for transferring any of those off the sd card) or will it take away from some other precious system memory of which there is so little extra on the the Dinc?

Thanks for any info in advanced!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
it will be stored on the root partition of the phone. it will not really take anything away from you because you need to flash to get anything on that partition. i take all my ring tones and put them into that folder to have them in one spot. one thing is that you will need to reboot the phone before they show up for selection.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daandman:
I transferred all the pictures & videos from my Nexus S onto my computer when I got the Galaxy Nexus, then transferred them onto my GN. On the Nexus S everything was in order based on the date I took the picture/video, but on the GN it shows all my videos first before the pictures. It seems the dates on all the videos were changed to the date I transferred them onto the GN, while the pictures stayed the same. It's pretty annoying when I want to look through the gallery & I can't find a way to re-order them properly.

Any ideas?

Every time I reboot my NS running ICS 4.0.3 it goes through a process updating stuff before getting to the homescreen. It takes less than a minute, but it's annoying.

I make no changes to the phone or apps before rebooting, so why does it have to update stuff on every reboot?

have you tried a full wipe and reinstall?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emhalwis:
It doesn't matter if you removed the update.zip or wiped. On every boot the system is going to do the same thing, optimizing applications. Shouldn't bother you unless you are restarting your phone too much, which you're going to see every time you phone boots.

I'm guessing its ics thing.

I unlocked and rooted my GNexus recently--came from a rooted DInc. I'm unfamiliar with flashing things via CWM QRs though.

If I simply open CWM and choose 'Install from QR code' and then scan this code, with that load the new boot animation?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brchickery:
In theory yes :) But I'm not to sure clockwork can find the zip file correctly on the nexus. When I tried to flash a zip like that I got an error that clockwork could not find the zip. I think the clockwork for the nexus needs to be updated. I could be wrong because I only used one of the other options because I don't have the premium version.

I download the file to my phone directly or use dropbox to sync it to my phone by clicking and holding on it and choosing download.

Then you can just go into clockwork and pick choose zip from sd card and navigate to the file you downloaded.
