Ok I am trying to install rcmix ice Rom I get as far as the htc boot screen even after 10 mins I don't get any further I have a backup that I can fall back on
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Try pulling the battery and putting it back in, if it doesn't boot up then, go to recovery, wipe data/factory reset, then wipe system for good measure. Install the rom and reboot. Should function after that. Some users reported first boot taking 20 to 30 minutes. I've installed ICS 4 times, each time was 3 to 5 minutes for me (all different roms).
[HTC Sensation] Sinistra425:
Did a battery pull and did wipe of data and all that pet it go for a good hour and still nothing restored to backup for now

Did you flash the firmware update that is required for it?
[HTC Sensation] Sinistra425:
Hmm it won't let me it says no image found
[HTC Sensation] Flashmore:
Tried merely powering on and off the phone after say 4-5 mins after flashing? sounds silly I know.

My suggestion would be to restore stock ROM, reinstall recovery and root then try again. Make sure to clear everything, 4EXT is nice for that as requires only one time selection. Also I suggest backup memory card then reformat it, copy back only user files not Android previous file systems etc.

Good luck

Hello forum !

i have used a couple of hours now trying to find a solution to my problem both here on the site but also on the internets.

i just recently became the happy owner of a Note, but i have been completely unable to connect it to any of my pc's ive had a galaxy i9000 that i didnt have any problems with but with my note it wont work.

under win7 64bit - when i plug the usb cable a "boc opens" in the drop down menu called MTP and when i klick that nothing happens, ive trid the varies ways of removing the sd card unmounting it etc. and debugging and so on but wont work.

it randomly connected once but then it dissapeared from my computer.

under winXP 32bit it just says usb device not recognised, i really wanna root this thing so i can play with the true power of this amazing device.

and on both pc's ive tried with kies and driver packs both together and seperately.

anyone out there that can help me out with this problem ?

cheers

and happy new year

Before connecting it to the PC with the cable, click "connect storage to pc" in the USB settings. After clicking it, then it will ask you to connect to pc. If you connect to pc before clicking it will not connect.

Hi,

Have you ticked USB debugging? Its under Settings>Apps>Development

Then it should show usb connection in notification tab, tap it and set usb storage as on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HumanoidTalking:
There may be few problems here so I will suggest different solutions, one might work for you

1. Turn off your antivirus and connect, it should work, see after connecting mobile that does it install something near "Bottom clock"?, open "my computer" see if it gives you N7000 (give it a minute). sometimes your computer settings are a problem

2. If no, Install latest Kies on your computer as it downloads Samsung drivers for your phone

3. after connecting 1st time, computer takes some time to recognize your mobile--be patient--

4. if all of above doesnot work, restart computer, connect USB to another (or same) port (turn off antivirus) and see

5. Nothing, try in Setting>Applications>Development>debugging Mode

6. if not, try on another computer

7. still does not connect, change USB cable

8. Still nothing there might be a issue with your device, but I will not conceive that every quickly, trying all above few times should resolve the issue..

7.

USb Problem

Hi I've had the same problem.

I have been using the Note quite happily as a Mass USB storage since early December. Plugged it in this morning and I don't get anything. I have also tried the debugging and all the other things listed. Here's what I get:

Usb debugging on - just a sound and a charging indication

Usb debugging off -usb connected Mtp connected on the notification pull down page. When I click on notification it just shuts the window.

I have tried dialling *#7284# and selecting USB PDA which didin't do anything for me but others seem to have had some luck. See this link:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
only the Samsung USB wire works

I had this problem today. The Note would never connect the USB or external storage. I searched and found this thread.

I then noticed it was another USB cable (I gave about 1,000 now!). I tried the Samsung one, and it worked first time.

It is annoying, because these cables are normally swappable with any device. It appears Samsung have defined their own standard. The great thing about standards, of course, is that there are some many to choose from!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
Some work and some do not, I find on further attempts.

I think there are some that are built only for charging, and these do not work as data transfer cables. Many headsets and other peripherals come with a SUB plug & charging cable. It was probably one of those.

I had the same problem with the stock cable yesterday, however. I managed to get a full USB connection from the USB settings, and oddly it was to the internal USB with the external USB as external_sd. After a reboot it seemed OK. I did swear at it a lot, but I am not sure that helped.

Used navigation for first time today and found it frustrating. First of all I thought GPS was broken as it span "obtaining location" for 5 minutes until I turned on A-GPS and data then it finally got my location, I later turned off A-GPS and data and it kept on working fine with the already pre cached map data.

Later on had same issue, data was on this time but A-GPS was not. It refused to do anything until A-GPS was turned on. Surely this is not intended behaviour? GPS alone should be sufficient with pre cached data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
it is normal. that's why phones have agps. it helps alot. it takes much longer without the assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
Why are you messing around with the GPS, works just fine with the default settings. Not a single issue. Locks fast and near instant. Best GPS I've used (Verizon version) which is saying a lot since I use GPS almost everyday and on every phone I've had.

Was there something wrong with your GPS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fatila:
Well, just thought that it would work with GPS solo like normal gps devices do without requiring mast triangulation etc, probably uses less juice as well. Hopefully you can use gps and a-gps without requiring data as long as you have pre cached.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rizzxx7:
This is the best GPS I've had also, the default settings are perfectly fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
it will work solo, but if you have assisted turned off, you have to download the gps almanac via gps signal, this takes a long time, but once you have it, everything should work fine. its just to get you homed in initially.

takes 12 minutes to download the almanac
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
there is NO reason to ever turn off a-gps. makes no sense why you would do that. it uses almost no power and is pretty damn accurate, and as you know how (and know why) turning it off makes it take lot longer to find you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
A-GPS is absolute garbage.

It's accurate to within like 2000 meters on a mobile network.

For apps that just need your general locale - it's fine, but for using it for navigation/direction - you have to turn it off so it doesn't give you bogus directions because it thinks you're 5 blocks west of where you're actually at.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majiklantrn:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Codiusprime:
This is incorrect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No reason to turn it off though. It can only help to get your location narrowed down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
Just go into your GPS settings and untick use wireless networks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
No its not....and it is one of the issues that most phones with weak GPS suffer from....the wireless triangulation is garbage. If your device only supports AGPS (older crap phones) then maybe.....I NEVER use wireless assistance on my phone locks in two seconds and tracking is as good as Garmin. Only payoff you may get from AGPS is it tight areas with limited sight of birds....like 1st floor apt. In NYC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
This is correct. Agps helps narrow down where you might be much quicker and hands that off to gps so you get more accuracy. We should be. Grateful that gps is competent in this phone, especially because it is samsung. If yours is consistently wack. Then. You probably have. Defect unit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BradleyUffner:
aGPS

Wow, there seems to be an awful lot of confusion about what aGPS actually is.

First, aGPS will NOT affect your accuracy in any way.

Here is how things work in a non-aGPS way. In order for GPS to work the receiver has to know where all the satellites will be at any point in time. This is achieved using a series of starting points and equations that describe each satellite's orbit. The orbits vary enough over time that this data, called the "Almanac" is only accurate for a short period of time. The almanac is constantly being updated on the satellites and they, in turn, are constantly broadcasting the almanac back down to the gps receivers. This automatic broadcast is done at a very low bit rate, so it takes about 12 minutes for a satellite to send the almanac data. The receiver has to wait for a new almanac broadcast to start before it can begin saving locally (it can't start saving in the middle), it takes a while for a new session to start over. Your gps must wait until it has at least 3 satellites locked, and a current version of the almanac before it can give your location.

All that aGPS does is download the almanac over the data connection. It allows you to get the almanac data faster, but in no way does it actually affect the accuracy or function of the GPS. The data connection plays absolutly no part in determining your location.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Codiusprime:
Do not listen to this person as they do not understand what agps is or what it does.

Instead, listen to this person
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
Do not assume that I don't know what it is or what it does....the argument is whether or not it works as planned you moron. I could totally tell you in one second the post your sucking up to is pretty much hijacked right out of Wikipedia. Don't transfer your stupidity to me. I had the crappiest of all GPS phones when I had my Captivate....I have spent more time reading about GPS then I would ever care too. I had a pretty reasonable experience with that phone after making some Pool changes and UNTICKING USE WIRELESS NETWORKS. sorry my loosely worded post was hard for you to understand....I will be clearer next time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BradleyUffner:
Sorry to inform you, but I didn't look at Wikipedia at all when I wrote that. Many years ago I worked for a company called "Spirent Communications" that created GPS testing equipment. That job required some pretty low level technical knowledge of how GPS works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
booooooo. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
triangulation is different from AGPS. They are two totally different things.

Anyway the thread starter has a very valid use case. Perhaps he wants to test out how good his phone would work as a GPS unit while camping or hiking in the woods or mountains where there is no cell service. This is a common case to use it for.

AGPS just downloads the satellite almanac from servers rather than from the satellites. Triangulation via the closest tower approximating your location to within 2000 meters is different than agps assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] momendo:
Fatila,

For GPS and positioning to work correctly,

1. You're within range of a few cell towers. This lets it do cell phone triangulation of your position within a few hundred meters if you're within range of three or more towers.

2. Make sure Wi-fi is turned ON.

3. You have a data connection. Together with a data connection and Wifi scanning, Google can do a MAC address lookup of scanned Wifi routers against a database to do GPS coordinate lookup. This works well in the city or in a dense residential area where there a lot of wifi routers. A data connection also allows the phone do download "GPS quick fix" data. This helps get a faster time-to-fix on GPS satellites.

4. You have a clear line-of-sight to the open sky. Obstructions work against you like tall dense trees, tall buildings, inside mountain valleys, etc. If you're indoors, the GPS app will have to rely on less accurate Wifi lookup and cell tower triangulation. GPS requires clear reception of at least four satellites in the sky (three for position, one for time). The more satellites it can see, the better the accuracy. When GPS is activated by an app like Google maps, it can take several seconds to several minutes for GPS to fix, so meanwhile that is happening, Android is using the other less accurate methods to find your position.

If you've used Google maps, you may get a blue circle of confusion indicating where you are. Big blue circles on the map indicate that the phone has a vague position of where you are. You want that circle to be as small as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
No need to name call.

Also I don't think anyone is assuming your knowledge as you seem to be demonstrating it as incorrect on your own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
This is misleading. Really all you need to take advantage of A-GPS is a data connection to download almanac/ephemeris and get timing data. This will dramatically help with time to first fix. WiFi and cell triangulation are less accurate supplements for when GPS is not available e.g. indoors.
