[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayshah:
The S Pen is good, but (obviously) not as fluid as real pen and paper.

I'd say it's possible, but might require some practise. That said, it managed to save me when I forgot to charge my laptop for a meeting, took 13 memo pages (half or quarter A4) of notes over about 40 minutes which is good enough in many respects. One feature I found handy was that you can audio record per page, so each note page is associated with a direct recording. If you keep up, it's wonderful as it's better than seeking across giant MP3 file to find what was precisely said.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The PRO:
Thanks a lot for the detailed response. Can you record audio and take notes at the same time?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ade5:
I dont think you can do it at the same time.. Atleast not in samsungs note-taking app
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayshah:
Yes, you can, because I've done it. See attachment :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The PRO:
Thank you very much, if you have time could you please post a screenshot with few lines of texts as well in the way you normally write? I just wanna see how much fits per line.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ade5:
Cool.. didnt realize you could do it while notetaking..

Here you go :) I had to choose between programming and handwriting early in my career; I chose programming :p

Edit: you can probably squeeze more with a thinner ink stroke, but I prefer this level of thickness.

Edit 2: Added thinner ink example

Why is it so hard to find information like this on any of the review sites. It's as if they forget that the point of having a stylus is to take notes! Thanks for posting the examples and for the information.

sound quality

Hi,

I was forced to take memos that week because my laptop was not available.

The galaxy note did great.

However i am not satisfied with the sound quality - it is too low.

I wandered if it is possible to be recorded in higher quality.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuttyjoe:
I wrestle with the accuracy of the stylus. I don't even think it's possible to calibrate it. The issue is that there's a certain angle that the pen must be in relation to the phone in order for the tip of the stylus to match the cursor on the screen. As you begin to rotate either the stylus or the phone, they get further and further apart. As a lefty, my natural position for holding a pen is about as far from the "sweet spot" on the Note as is possible. I'm actually retraining my hand to hold the stylus the way the Note is forcing me so that I can draw on the phone. You can't just take the phone and turn it all around the way you would do with an actual notepad of paper. You have to carefully make sure that you stay in the sweet spot or when you make a mark, it maybe as far as 1/8th inch from where you touched the screen. For writing, this has the effect of text going higher and higher as you go across the screen. For drawing the result is that if you make a line and try to continue it, you never connect to the same line, you draw to the side of it each time. Unless you hold it just in the right position. Furthermore, you have to decide right from the start in the settings if you are a righty or lefty. If you get that wrong and stylus will be like a .25" off. Also, one time I it was so far off, I had to reboot the phone to get it back to what is normal for the phone. These are major issues specifically with the quality of the S pen, which is a main selling point for the phone. I bought it because I like to make notes about artistic things that catch my eye as I'm out and about. I may draw an image and make some notes and develop it further later. The Note would be a lot better if it were built with quality. Samsung couldn't possibly have released this thing without knowing that we would be wrestling with the issues inherent in the s pen accuracy.

Hi All, I bricked my Kindle Fire after installing Go Launcher so had to resort to rooting it. Fire was stuck at the Kindle Fire screen.

I basically followed this post:

So to fix I needed to root my Kindle with out a UI. Command Line only :-/

Download the Java Development Kit and install http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...ads/index.html

Download the Android SDK and install http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Run the SDK Manager.exe and make sure you install the 'extras' package. (It has the google drivers)

Update your Kindle Drivers http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/13/h...db-usb-driver/

Get the Kindle Fire Utility http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1399889

(Thank you thank you thank you for writing this util, saved my butt!)

If all is working, you will be able to root your Kindle from the command line!

I am now at the stage where i can boot using option 3 in the KFU and enter TWRP, but when i select option 1 for normal boot i end up back at the kindle fire splash screen (After the yellow triangle shows). Same place i was at pre root!!

I've read a million posts but not sure where im at. Can anyone suggest anything, i'm stuck in a loop...

Any help/comments/suggestions welcome.

Gedi
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
from the first page of KFU:

Known Tricks

•If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say <waiting for device> and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution

•If you end up stuck with a yellow triangle, do not EVER unplug it. Leave it plugged in. Check the windows drivers to make sure it isnt showing as "kindle" again. Fastboot is different and can cause this.
[Kindle Fire General] gedi1978:
thanks b63, i can get it to recognise after it says <waiting for device>. This put it to the kindle fire screen though...

Also it always shows as Android Composite ADB device too!

I'm missing someting fundemental i think :(
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
do you have a yellow triangle in device manager ?

when does it say <waiting for device> ?

immediately after starting KFU or when you select change bootmode -> normal ?
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Okay, I don't know how this happened, but I have a strange directory on my external SD card called "D/cuments".

Here is the strange thing. It doesn't show up in root explorer. However, if I adb shell in, I can see it. Also, in Windows explorer, I can see it. But I can't delete it.

If I set my USB connect to PC Mode, I can rename it and delete it from Windows explorer, but it reality, it doesn't happen. If I adb shell in, I'll still see the "D/cuments" folder when I do an ls. If I do an ls -l in adb shell, it not there.

If I set USB connection to USB Mass Storage mode, I can still see the "D/cuments" folder in Windows explorer, but I cannot delete it or rename it as I get the following error:

Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.

I have no idea how this file showed up on my SD card.

Any ideas? I really want to avoid having to reformat the card, but I guess my only recourse is to copy everything over, reformat the SD card, and then copy everything back.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Haha...sorry I was about to suggest u format the card before I read the last part of ur post

Had u installed any new apps recently? Or been messing around with ur sdcard?
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I had been restoring some nandroid backups, but that's about it.

I'm in the process of backing up the SD card and getting ready to reformat it. <sigh> Since it's 32gb and I have my music on it, it's going to take some time. Yuck!
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I wonder if it has just been there for a long time but u just never noticed it b before lol

But I was gonna say if it ain't a big file and it isn't hurting anything u might as well just leave it there instead of screwing with it and possibly killing your card some how
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
It's empty and takes up zero storage. It's just kind of annoying seeing it there.

What's really strange is, if I use the default ls command in ADB, it shows up. If I do an ls -l, it doesn't show up.

# ls
ls
...
Documents
com.espn.score_center
Cut the Rope

[B][COLOR="Red"]D/cuments[/COLOR][/B]
download
ezPDFReader
...
#
#
#
# ls D*
ls D*
D/cuments: No such file or directory
#

Then, if I use the ls command in BusyBox, it still doesn't show up. It's really strange.

I don't know if it could have been malware, but I don't run any suspicious applications. All my apps are purchased from the Market or Amazon Market, other than of course, various flash zip files from XDA, but even then, the only things I've flashed/installed that are not from the market are as follows:

Eclipse 1.3

2.3.4 build.prop Mashup

DX2 Battery Fix

BSR

All of these I downloaded from XDA and have used for months, so I've never seen this before.

I did have other directories show up that I was able to delete that looked like the wonderful Windows short-hand for long file names. You know, those stupid filenames with tildes (~) in them to fit the 8.3 filename format? Really strange.

The only thing I can think of that might have caused this, now that I think of it, was when I was connected via PC Mode and was copying files from my SD card to my hard drive. It hung and wouldn't stop and I had to go, so I tried cancelling the copy and it wouldn't cancel. I then tried to eject the phone via the windows "remove hardware" quick access icon and that didn't work, so I had to just pull the USB cable from the PC. Not sure if that could have caused this or not, but I wasn't copying anything TO the SD Card. I was copying FROM the SD card.

Oh well.
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
That could easily cause problems like you're seeing. If you haven't formatted the card yet, try running chkdsk on it from Windows. chkdsk (drive letter) /f
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Might have info on it for plug and play and thats why you cant delete it. Flash drives have files on them for that even if they are formatted. That may be it. I do not know for sure.
[Motorola Droid X2] imchairmanm:
Before doing anything drastic, try something easy: reconnect it to your windows install and try safely removing. Sometimes it'll lock a file if it is unmounted uncleanly.

If that doesn't work, I'd head back to the terminal and try a few more things. Android will have problems with a file containing a slash because slashes indicate separate directories. It's probably getting confused. I'd try doing ls -la followed by the filename (cap sensitive!) in quotation marks. That should tell the shell to interpret the name as a single entity instead of trying to split it into a directory called D containing a file called cuments, which it might be doing. If it shows the file that way, run rm the same way. If it sees the file at that point but can't operate on it, su to root first and then maybe try using rm -rf.

Edit: Actually, after further consideration, there's going to be no way to remove the file from within Android. Any utility that you use to try to remove it will interpret it as a file within a directory instead of a single directory. There's no way to create such a file from within the system, so it shouldn't exist, period. There's no way to get to it from within your phone since forward slashes are hardcoded into the kernel as indicators for directories, so the usual tricks, like escaping the slash with a backslash or using quotation marks won't work. You're going to have to deal with the file from within Windows by mounting your sd card. That's the only way you'll ever get rid of it short of a reformat.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
That fixed it! I ran the Error-checking tool from Local Disk Properties in Windows Explorer, had it automatically fix file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. Once that happened, the "D/cuments" folder became "DOCUME~1" and I could see the files inside of it.

Thanks again for the simple, yet effective, tip! :o
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Sooooo

What was in the folder? Lol.....
[Motorola Droid X2] RyanThaDude:
You know, "Documents" ;):D
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Must have been a NOClist lol
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Well, it was a Mission that was Impossible trying to delete it before I ran check disk on it. :eek:
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
Glad to hear that fixed it for ya. Anytime odd things like that start happening, chkdsk is always my first resort. It's not always the answer but it's one of the easiest things you can do and, well, I don't know about you but I've always been one to take the easy way out if I could. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redirect11:
Hi all, this is my first post, and i searched the forum with no luck. I have a CheckRom RevoHD V4 with the Siyah Kernel 2.6.1. The problem is that my screen won't wake up after some time that it's turned off. It doesn't happen always... it's seems a random behavior... The volume keys works because i can hear the sound of volume up and volume down, but the touchscreen, softkeys, power button and home button doesn't work at all and i can't get my home screen back. I need to remove the battery to reboot the GS2... I experienced this problem with te DarkNight kernel too. I tried to call my phone, i can hear the calling tone but the cellphone doesn't ring. I don't know if it's a rom related problem or it's a kernel problem. Hope someone can help me.

Ps: Sorry for my english

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redirect11:
so are you sure that the problem it's related to system tuner?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Probably. If you undervolt or underclock your phone to much, you wil get SOD's. That is basic knowlegde if you want to use those apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redirect11:
ah ok... but i don't use OC/UC or UV/OV... i only use this for change governors... but i have a question about SOD: the volume keys works in these cases? Cause mine works when display doesn't wakeup...

Hi,

is it possible to flash a bricked Nexus S (only white Google Logo) without enabling usb debugging? Stock 4.0.3, no Root or other things.

Unlocking the bootloader with fastboot oem unlock says

Thanks in advance!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Are you sure you have the correct drivers on the computer? That could be causing the problem. A successful connection should show a 3rd line in the bootloader down the bottom (though im not 100% sure this doesnt happen without drivers).

This guide has the files and a video + instructions on how to do that if drivers are in fact the problem (steps 1 - 6). If this doesn't work download the full rom from the sticky in general for your device and flash it through the stock recovery. Should let you boot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimjones74:
If she downloads the full rom, how can she flash it?

Doesn't she need access to the SD to copy the full rom onto it to flash it with stock recovery?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxy78:
I used the drivers amd tools from this guide. And I see three lines near bottom:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Sorry I just noticed you are on ubuntu, useless link. Could you confirm that "fastboot devices" lists your phone?

Edit:

Reading over that last reply; it gave you the option on the phone to unlock the bootloader, and scrolling to yes and hitting power gave you the Erase Fail error?

Jim: I actually can't remember if the stock recovery has a mount /sdcard option. I've only used it for a total of a few minutes too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxy78:
Yes, fastboot devices lists the phone.

And fastboot oem unlock gives the erase fail.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimjones74:
Perhaps it is really a hardware fault then?

@Harbb I think stock recovery can only recover from SD card, it mounts it automatically and only looks there.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
It does seem like a hardware fault, can't think of any reason why it would give that error otherwise. As far as i know (with regard to the original question), turning adb on in the OS doesn't effect the bootloader and fastboot.

You may have to take this up with samsung :( Hopefully someone may know what's up, or you something you try works, but either way wish you the best getting the phone up and running.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
You need to add certain lines into the driver configurations for the sdk because the driver does not work on every variant of the nexus s. Search that in google. Needs to be enabled.

Hi everyone,

I have a Nexus S i9020T that I think I have bricked. What I did is that I was trying to flash a ROM and by mistake I formatted the SD, and USB storage. And since then when I reboot, I only see the GOOGLE sign with a blue bar underneath. I have the clockworkmod working for me but I can't mount my USB storage or SD card to copy any files from computer because the computer does not detect it. I installed ADB properly, and I had PDAnet installed as well. but for some reason when I try to open PDAnet, it gives me errors and asks for reinstallations as there are files that are in conflict or something. and now I have a device that can't be detected on computer but can be rebooted in to recovery. I will be grateful if one of you guys helped me out with this.
