For people with bricks because of this

PPl don't be scared if you get bricked, i try at first and i got bricked, my device was in a loop and did not start, at the beginning just was showing a black screen then i tried to turn it on and it was in a loop.But i manage to recover it! :D This is what i did to recover it:

Download the mfgtool provided in this post.

Download the android files to flash provided also here

Put the device in flash mode or whatever is called the state when you power on the device with the volume up key pressed. ( for me this was specially hard since it was doing a loop, what i did was to push the reset button with a needle, then as soon as release the reset, push the power button and the volume up, and then connect the usb cable... create your own way to do it, just keep in mind you need to have your device booted in this kind of service mode ( vol up and power) before proceed.

Then just click on start and wait... it did it successfully this time...

Obviously you need to put your rom folder in profiles and everything just as explained in this guide.

THANKS, I UPDATED MY DEVICE WITH ROOT! :cyclops:

---------- Post added at 05:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 AM ----------

In my case it failed just after it erase everything with no reason, however the same method worked the second time so i think is not risky to try, you are going to be able to install it eventually following this method. For more info see my other post. Cheers.

[Off-topic] teflontactics:
Looking for your expert help, XDA.

I just received a Blu-Ray burner for Christmas, and was wondering what I can use to author some disks.

I've got a few skateboarding videos I've shot in 720P (AVI Container, XVID/DIVX encoded) and I'm looking to put them on a disk, with a proper menu, in preoper format to play on my Blu Ray player.

What is the quickest, and easiest way I can do this?

I'm looking for programs OTHER than multiAVCHD. I can't get any of the burned disks from that program to play on anything, while other programs seem to work sporadically.

Anything like ConvertX to DVD would be awesome.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aigoya:
This is NOT about banding, horizontal lines, or blurry edges.

This is about the shade of white changing when looking at a white screen. (Market, white webpage, reddit, xda forums, etc).

Here is a video link showing the issue:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-mVWkBK41I

Symptoms:

When viewing white screen and scrolling up/down, notice a small, subtle change in the shade of the predominant color. (From a grey white to a lighter grey white, etc)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Turn brightness low for best results (automatic settings off)

2. Use phone in dark place for best results

3. Go to a page with lots of white/light colors for the background, (xda forums is a good example)

4. Just go about your business and read comments as you're scrolling down.

5. Notice a small change in shade/tint/hue every 5-20 seconds.

Notes:

1. I've tried to turn brightness very high to see if this countered the problem: Fail

2. I've tried turning on automatic brightness: Fail

3. I've tried mixed settings with automatic brightness, auto adjust screen power: Fail

4. I've tried to play with the phone in a well lit setting: Fail

---All of the tested conditions above, I was still able to see the change of shade

Questions:

1. Is this a hardware or software problem?

2. I've read that some people who have experienced this exchanged their unit. Did it fix the problem?

3. I heard reports of running the dead pixel app for 20 minutes might fix this issue. Any thoughts?

4. For those who never noticed the problem, could you try the steps above and see if it happens?

The reason that this is a problem is that it strains the eye. In ocular terms, adaptation is the eye's ability to adjust to various levels of dark and light. So when this change of shade occurs my eyes have to readjust to that shade, but it occurs so often that my eye is agitated from having to adjust over and over.

I have a few days left to send this unit back overseas (/sigh) so I'm trying to get as much info as I can here before I take the next step.

Thanks.

Update

Just upgraded to XXKL7.

I heard some users report that this issue is less visible and/or gone due to update.

I will test this more thoroughly tonight and report back.

Prior to the update I emailed the vendor, with screen shots. Still waiting for a response to see what their position is.

Here are the screen shots if interested

Image 2.1 - opened market

Image 2.2 - scrolled down a little, notice red tint

Image 2.3 - scrolled down more, notice tint went back to normal

Any other users that have this shade problem, please reply here if the newest update has fixed or alleviated your issues^^.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie:
I reported it straight away. The hue change has gone with the update. It is not there any more.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aigoya:
Thanks for the response. I'm excited to hear the news.

Just to be double sure, have you tried with screen filter(app) on?

During my testing, using the screen filter showed the change of shades more convincingly than not.

Could I request of you to try it?

On another note, drawing on the s memo seems like the shades are changing a little bit. I'll keep that in mind for testing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaiiscool:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aigoya:

Issue is definitely not gone after the update for me.

It has become more subtle than before but still apparent and annoying on the eyes.

Still waiting for response from vendor. Will update again then.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombizombi:
I have the same problem, in fact I've already commented on your youtube video before seeing this post. I have a video of my own up. The problem I have is my item is all packaged up ready for RMA. I don't know if I should try KL7 or not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie:
Strange. Mine and a few others its definitely gone. No more changes at all
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombizombi:
I'm gonna try KL7 on mine now. I have obvious tinting which I doubt it will fix. I'll report back the moment it's done.

Out of curiosity where did you buy your phones? Just about to flash KL7 now and I'll report back. Mine was bought from Expansys, shipped from France.

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

Okay guys. I updated to KL7. Still massive changes in hue in the screen. I'll be sending the phone back on the 3rd so when I receive a replacement I'll let the OP know whether it helped.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tbplan:
I had the same issue, but in my case just turning off the automatic brightness fixed it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aigoya:
Good to see im not the only one with problems. I got mine from expansys korean site shipped from hong kong. I heard they have horrible customer service. Sent an email about 5 days ago and no response.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombizombi:
You could try calling them. I'm fairly sure my phone came with a Korean ROM on it. Mine goes back on the third. Are you in Korea yourself?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nemesis_00:
Upgrading to KL7 made the issue go away for me as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemeg:
same

Its happened once only to me, the screen changed to deep red, i restarted phone and its never come back.

Just to add to it, with brightness set to minimum and automatic disabled its not really any signs of hue change at all, im on rom kka and the only thing i do notice on sites that dont have white pages, like xdas creamy colour, is a bit of flickering when i scroll down.

I dont think its a hardware issue, if the problem can go away after flashing diff roms then it must be software, saying that, i was running Darkynote when it happened.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombizombi:
Problem is there are two of us here that have flashed a lot of ROMs, including KL7, and also tried everything everyone has suggested but we're still seeing the problems. It might be a software problem for some but so far it's looking like hardware problems for us.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tino_ale:
I have a very similar issue. Change of hue (red, sometimes greenish) every 5-20 sec on white/grey background.

Auto brithness and auto screen adjustement doesn't change anything.

More visible on lower brightness setting but still there on highest.

Running KKA firmware until KL7 is proposed OTA here in france.

Crossing fingers that it's software... I would just hate to ship it back for servicing. :mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aigoya:
I'll be calling them today. Yes I'm currently in Korea. Expanysys Korea has their own warranty provider in Korea supposedly, with a free 3 month warranty extendable to 1 year for a price.

I'm really contemplating if I should root and try throwing on some custom roms to see if this issue is fixed. But I'm pretty noobish with all this.

Cheers and happy new year everyone!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aigoya:
Update:

Since expansys hasn't sent me a reply via email yet I FINALLY got a hold of expansys by phone.

Supposedly they claimed that Samsung told them that they will not fix this problem even though it's a known issue (I can't even trust that expansys even contacted samsung). But after Expansys looking at my screenshots they offered me an exchange. I'm going to get a full refund instead.

So I'll be returning the note tomorrow. After some thought, I'm going back to my S2. The Note is a beautiful phone, but I don't think it fits my life style.

Thank you everyone in the XDA note forums. I wish you the best with your note. I'm glad I was able to be a part of it.

Happy New Year

PS. Never ordering from expansys again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombizombi:
Happy New Year to you too.

My phone should reach Expansys in France today. I really hope they replace it without me having to provide screenshots, the only thing I have is a video showing it very subtly changing colours. They did ask for screenshots but I told them it was almost impossible to capture it. I don't know if I should ask for a refund or replacement.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aigoya:
I hope all goes well for you. I'm shipping mine off tomorrow. International returns are harder than I thought. Although I'm getting a refund I can't help but miss it already lol. Maybe in the near future I'll pick it up again... ics maybe? Hehe.

I'm extremely curious if CM9 has an answer to this issue =]. Any volunteers?
[Xoom General] Android300ZX:
I wouldn't really call this a guide but I labeled it in case some of you guys didn't know. I purchased a Turtlebeach X12 and decided to plug it into my Xoom.

You will need an OTG adapter. I don't think the ROM matters but in case it does I'm on ICS EOS nightly 12/26/2011. You only need to plug the green audio jack to the headphone part of the Xoom and you're set. You will need to tune the ''Game'' and ''Bass Boost'' to get the desired sound. These headphones are loud ass hell. Don't ruin your ears guys.

As far as the miles of wire I'll leave that for you guys to figure out.
[Xoom General] Android300ZX:
I tried to see if the mic would work with GTalk but it doesn't. I get a FC on it but it may be due to me running an alpha ICS ROM on the Xoom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sabwjawdjw:
I recently bought an G2x and am very familure with the htc rooting as i was with Sprint. But service sucked so I went to T-Mobile figuring they would be bought out. BUMMER! Anyways I had a couple questions and cant seem to find my answers.

First off is if the phone gets rooted what features do I lose? Like I heard something about the graphics or what not.

Secondly if rooted could it handle the new cm?

Third is it even worth the effort?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
Just using a rooted stock rom you will not loose anything.

Yes it can handle CM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
You've got nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Graphics aren't affected by rooting any device? I'm not sure where you heard that from. haha

CM7 runs great on this device, and ICS runs even better. (Alpha build)

It takes less than 5 minutes to ClockworkMod Recovery installed on here, so why not?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kayway27:
you lose nothing at all; graphics, functionality, speed, etc.

rooting just gives you extra permissions and abilities in addition to what you already had before. if you dont want to mess with the technical stuff, you can just leave ur stock rom rooted and enjoy the increased battery life and other simple stuff you can do with root.

rooting is essentially gaining superuser access to what companies dont want you to have because they're afraid of you breaking your phone or copyright or whatever. if you need to send it in to warranty, just unroot and youre all good.

tldr: rooting is good, no harm can come if youre not stupid and if you can read. have fun!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zoppp:
If you are looking for a custom ROM look at Weapon G2X, Tsugi, or cyanogenmod. I am currently using Weapon G2X with faux's kernel @1. 4 GHZ and my phone is very fast and stable. Also I am getting 10+ hrs of battery when I lower the clock speed to 1.2

So I've seen a couple of eBay auctions for 3800mAh GNex batteries. I can't post the URLs here as links because I'm a too new here ( :-( ).

The price is right and the promise of 2x the rather modest battery life of the 1750mAh battery in my GSM GNex is hard to resist.

What does everyone think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rickhuizinga:
It will double the thickness of your Nexus, and has a cheap (and probably) non-ergonomic back cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtambis6:
I wouldn't it get as it has no NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna in it. Also, most of those cheap Ebay batteries are not rated as advertised.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tedmm:
Yes - that's one of them. Do a search for i9250 3800 and you'll be able to find the other.

Admittedly the back case doesn't look as nice as the stock one, but what I'm really worried about is my phone exploding in my pocket and injuring me. Or at least destroying my $600 phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vagelis:
This manufacturer has had a lot of similar units for various phone models.

I had been using a version for the Samsung Infuse 4G with no issues for 4 months or so, so I would expect the same for the Galaxy Nexus variant.

One thing to keep in mind however: these batteries DO NOT have the NFC Antenna in them, so you will not be able to use Google Wallet or the Android Beam options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clarkkent434:
These batteries are actually are from a Droid Charge. I read it one galaxy nexus and i have tested it myself. There are some Droid Charge 3800mAh battery with good reviews you. But you still will need a back cover and will have NFC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tedmm:
Really? The GNex and the Droid Charge have the same batteries?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
$11.89 for cover & battery seems fair for 3,800 mAh:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fatsix:
Just be aware that all batteries are not created equal, especially from china. Surefire batteries, specifically 18950 batteries used in high end flashlights. They just put a new shrinkwrap and recharge old batteries. Good or bad, it dont matter at least they look new. They advertise 3000mah, youd be lucky to get 2 of 10 that are 2000mah.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Well, given the price, I'd have to say it's going to suck, but then again - it's not that much money to try it - if you really need something that huge.

I would try it, but I'd rather wait for a package that comes with a case. In the end it's a $725 device that I don't want ding'd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
After trying a lot of these batteries on most of my phones over the years, I say that if it aint sold by the phone manufacturers, save your time and money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericerk:
Thats like gonna blow up in ur pocket
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
I think you're thinking of 18650 batteries. Flashlight forums usually rate the surefires rather well compared to the others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
I'd say give it a try. those are generics. back in my multiple battery craziness days, i had 2 of those same generics for my Thunderbolt. they were ok.. at least they actually worked anyway. didn't use them long enough though to comment on longevity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Yeah, I know what you mean about multiple battery craziness lol. I have two generic batteries for my Thunderbolt AND a huge Seidio extended battery along with my OEM. The generics work just as well as the OEM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] propyls:
Generally any battery for your smart phone under $40.00 probably isn't rated at what it says it is. I've managed a fairly good collection over the years. You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to them.

Have read so many negative comments just want to know if this is the best out or what. It has better spec than any other tablet but all I'm reading are complaints. Mine won't arrive til Wednesday and I haven't planned on buying the dock just picked up that black sleeve that reminds me of origami.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Yes, it is the best 10.1" Wi-Fi Android tablet out there. The raging debate you're reading is about how long it will stay that way.

You will always hear negative things about any tablet when they first come out. That should be expected nowadays.

Sorry, but really? there are many MANY threads discussing the viability of this topic.

"Best" is a relative concept. seriously. why clutter up the already exploding forum with truly useless threads?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Yes this is the best out for Android right now and probably stay that way for at least next 4 months or so. The negative comments are just the more vocal ones. More are completely satisfied with device. Like me, and others with none or very minor issues. I'm very satisfied with My prime. Best tablet I ever had and I came from an iPad. Which I loved also but the prime just blows away the Competition at the moment. As with any device, there will be initial issues that are real and effect some users. You have to remember they are the minority. Check out the positive prime thread and you will see how easily this device lived up to the hype and more.

Yes, it is the best Android tablet out right now.

Naturally, the best products out there receive the most scrutiny, so that's why you're reading so many "negative" things about the Prime right now. That's a byproduct of being one of the best products out there.

And as said already, the comments aren't about if the Prime is the best but rather about how long it will be the best. My personal view is that the Prime is an in-between device that is between the 1st gen Android tabs and the wave of 2nd gen tabs coming out in 2012, but I invite you to do your own research on the Prime and on upcoming tablets and to make your own decision on where the Prime stands.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
If there's one thing I'm going to take with me when I die, it's that this world is composed of 99% whiners.

To this day, I still see people whine about the stupidest things about the TF101. Some examples are a few people whining about being able to see the capacitive sensor grid under certain lighting at a certain angle. I've seen some people whine about the TF101 not feeling like a laptop. In fact, I think that's the #1 complaint I've seen about the TF101. People bought it thinking they can use it like a laptop.

I've seen people whine about the background moving slightly when you scroll from screen to screen.

I have the acer iconia, and so I've seen people whine about ridiculous things about that as well. Everything from the metalic back is cold to the touch to the sensor grid being visible under certain light at certain angle to it doesn't feel like a laptop.

Why is it that the prevalent whine for any tablet is that it doesn't feel like a laptop? Why the hell do people buy the tablet with the intention to use it like a laptop? Is there some kind of mental block involved here?

This is not to say that I see every complaint as a whine. In fact, I think there are many legit complaints about design flaws, software bugs, etc. You just have to filter out all the whines to see the real legit and constructive criticisms.

The point is don't just blindly look at the negative reviews. Actually read those negative reviews and try to weed out all the whines.
