[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimocal:
The NFC Antenna is in the battery to be on the outer most part of the phone for transmission and receiving and reducing interference since its a low power radio. The phone still needs the NFC chip to work though.

In the International Note teardowns has anybody identified a NFC chip yet?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carmageddon1984:
Ok guys I've found this:

http://www.evernote.com/shard/s3/sh...e9562b56ece4/8f872ca284c0a3013b566ed87866bb1c

It seems the phone has the chip "Infineon PMB5712 RF transceiver"

So, I think theoretically, it SHOULD have NFC support.

Could it be we will see it in ICS?

Has anyone opened his own Note to verify we have this chip as well?

I have a Samsung vibrant that has bionix V rom in it. and now I just got a SGS4G and I'd like to flash it with bionix frost which I believe that's the only rom available from bionix for SGS4G now since I haven't tried to flash it with it yet because Im still waiting for the sdcard to arrive so I don't have any idea what its look like? can any one send me a picture or a link of what its really look like? I've tried searching but always get a mixed up information.. I like the theme of Bionix V 1.3.1 and Im looking to get that simple theme for my SGS4G too and also the lock screen options

thank you

hope to get an answer here

Im new here by the way
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
Welcome man, i have never ran Bionix Frost but it sure does looks hella nice in my opinion, if it were to be updated with the newest froyo tweaks, i would FORSURE flash it! I know it's not really a helpful post, but i wanted to spread my thoughts, lol.

I upgraded my YP-G70 (EW) to GB from androidtablets.net/forum/android-tablet-hacking/25778-upgrade-your-samsung-galaxy-wifi-5-0-gingerbread.html

and found that the version is XEKP2 (2.3.5). However, most people flashed XXKPF verion. I suffered poor wifi reception after this upgrade (only 2 bar even a meter from router). This is much worse than Froyo. Don't know if it is worth to flash to XXKPF version? Any people on XXKPF version can give a comment?:) Other problems i.e.vibrate, home screen rotate, wifi not turn off after screen lock etc., I think is common for GB (but not bother me too much)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] darupe86:
Hello,

I also upgrade to Gingerbread and the sign of the weak wifi works.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cwongwh:
Besides weak wifi , do you see the difference between froyo's Soundalive where there are equalizer control ? in Froyo, there are the 7 band equalizer control in User 1 and 2 and you can select "3D&Bass, Concert Hall, Clarity & Upscaler" .. the Gingerbread one seems inferior

I heard someone mentioned that the weak wifi signal could be solved by assigning a static IP address. After that you can remove it and it will still be good.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] njguyc:
No, equalizer control is not in GB unless somebody can build in a custom ROM.

static IP address can fix those frequently drop connection problem, but not with solid connection by weak signal reception. Waiting for better custom ROM...
[Focus General] nimeshc:
Hi guys,

This might be a very simple thing but somehow I am missing it. I have linked 3 accounts for a contact(linkedin, facebook and windows live). But my focus is selecting the name from windows live as default. Anyway to change it to something from another account say facebook? All I can see in the pencil icon is to manually edit the name. Is this the only solution, to manually edit the names to that in facebook or linkedin?
[Focus General] aliandac:
You cannot edit facebook and linkedin profile. They are read only.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Unfortunately, there isn't a straightforward way to do this correctly and solve your issue. All this is due to people syncing their contacts to Windows Live and using WP7. MS has suggested we shouldn't sync contacts on WP7 using Windows Live. I personally had issues while doing so and I switched to Gmail/Outlook and never had an issue since.

Settings/application/people

in "filter my contact list" deselect Wildows Live

this is known to create issues.

Alternatively at the bottom, tap "Windows Live" and check if you can un/check "sync contacts". If you can't you have to do it on a PC (browser).
[Focus General] nimeshc:
Ok will try to migrate my contacts from windows live to google.. Hope that will solve the issue.. :) thanks guys..
[Focus General] cj.arvind:
Goto people>Select settings>Filter My contacts.. Here you can select any account.

You link contacts too by going into a specific contact and click on the middle option(looks like a chain). By doing this you can reduce the number of contacts being displayed!! Hope this helps;)
[Focus General] ericfine:
Windows Live should do a better job for contacts feature.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
No argue here. However, syncing contacts to Windows Live is not something recommended for WP7. I've had several issues myself and also others had reported problems syncing (contacts reverted to the online list etc). A quick search for contact sync issue reveals several threads on MS Answers: here, here, here, here etc...
[Nook Touch Accessories] Chip05:
Can someone give me an idea of the feasibility of creating a glow in the dark screen protector? It would have to be somewhat transparent ( doesn't have to be comepletely transparent) and unnoticable during the day but still glow in the dark.

If that isn't possible, could I buy a screen protector and paint it with transparent glow in the dark paint to get similar effects?

And then if none of those are possible, could someone tell me where o could find glow in the dark tissue paper or wax paper. (Yes, I'm going to try it)

Any other ideas? I kind of want to stay away from clip on flashlights. Something about them bothers me....oh and don't say built in flashlight case either because those bother me too.
[Nook Touch Accessories] AcoQ:
Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of reading on an eInk device? Even worse, not only will it shine in your eyes as long as you're reading, it will also bring the contrast way down.

Flex Lighting's LED film looks promising, but I can not find it on sale anywhere. (sorry I can not post links yet, so please google :p)
[Nook Touch Accessories] persichini:
That looks like something they designed to be built into the reader and not added on. There are no visible wire or anything. The description said that its a film applied to the screen that is powered by a single led. Looks like they turned it on with a switch on the bottom of the reader. Very cool concept but i think its going to be something used on new models..as a built in function.

If you go to their website it shows an exploded view of a kindle with the film under the the bezel.. they have a very broad list of possible applications. and then ask you to connect them with your specific application. I would assume so they could quote you on a custom order base. So to me it looks as if they as gearing themselves to manufactures and not consumer addons.

Now is possible that you could get quotes from them for an order of 1 but then you would have to place it in the nook tap into the power of the nook and install an on/off switch.
[Nook Touch Accessories] Chip05:
:o saw flex light articles earlier which partially inspired the glow in the dark screen protector idea.

To me, it seemed like a built into the device kind of thing, like persichini is saying. But then again, I don't see why it would be so difficult for them to create an external film for people with old e-readers. Of course it could be too costly to design a individual screens for all the popular e-readers...

Hopefully Amazon and B&N don't take forever to implement flex light into their designs.
[Nook Touch Accessories] time4xda:
Chip05, I just realized that it might be a great idea. It seems that there are some "glow in the dark" paint/tape/spray on Amazon. We should try it! Haha, if it works then the Flex light film idea will be dead! :) Maybe it can be patented!

Definitely! I was looking around and found some websites that sell spray paint that is supposedly transparent in daylight. I'm going to order a can and a cheap screen protector to try it out. I'll let you know how it goes.
[Nook Touch Accessories] Carrick1973:
I've been thinking about adding a Joule Thief to my nook cover, but I haven't had a chance to pick up the parts. I don't like the clip-on lights as they don't work too well and are bulky, but I think I could add a joule thief in relatively easily.

This is also interesting:

But its on 3 AAAs. Maybe smaller it would be better for NST.
[Nook Touch Accessories] Dagon.Alex:
1. Screen protector + glowing spray = fail.

Why? Learn physics.

1. How long do You think it will glow? Most of fluorescent materials shine for several minutes to an hour after being "charged" by exposing to very bright light.

2. How bright do You think it would be? The glow is very dim, so You just can see it, but You wont be able to illuminate anything with it.

3. Transparency. The thing was discussed here. To the low light conditions You are adding the lowered transparency of protective screen.

4. The glowing film as the light source is situated between the screen and your eyes. It actually obscures the vision of the text.

Maybe there are paints that have the above problems resolved but they will cost.

You are free to experiment. But IMHO You are going to get either useless thing or something as expensive as You reader itself.

[HTC Sensation] Uqbar:
1- PULL the battery and insert it back

2- close the cover

3- hold vol down, then power

4- release power

The unit boots normally to android not to HBOOT.

What am I missing?

Tia.

[SOLVED]

If the unit is really off, you don't need to open it and pull the battery.

I do this and it works 100% of times.

1. Hold the VOL-

2. Press Power (NOT HOLD, just a mouse-like "click")

3. release both buttons

To understand whether thew unit is really off i turn it so I can look at the left side of the screen fopr the right one. If I see a faint light (from back lighting), the unit needs a few more seconds to be completely off.
[HTC Sensation] eilu1183:
Try turning off "fast boot" under Settings>Power that's what I did to access Hboot on mine.
[HTC Sensation] Uqbar:

I've been able to trigger the HBOOT menu 1 time out of 5 without pulling the battery.

As soon as I'll be able to recall the HBOOT menu 1 time out ouf 1 I'll post my results.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
So long as you've turned off fast boot in Settings>Power you should have NO issues getting into HBOOT. Hold volume down, press power button once and keep volume down held until the HBOOT loads up

android depends, if you have android on nand then u can directly plugin USB and use it like a pen drive. But if you are running android from the sd card you need to download an app called multimount sd. Actually the app works in both modes so it's hassle free no need to enable USB every time.

Let me start off by telling you what I did.

I flashed the unofficial CM7 by nobodyAtall (nAa) for my x10 minipro with his kernel. All was going fine until i decided to tweak the autobrightness values a bit. wat I ended up doing up (accidently) was setting screen brightness 0 for ALL light sensor value ranges.

Now I dont have a cwm backup before this. so currently I am with a device that is working but , unfortunately, i cant see absolutely nothing :P

My question is this. Can I create an update.zip to do something about this? I tried deleting cmparts.apk and cmparts.odex and deleting only the data of the cmparts.apk...but no avail... my phone boots and all, but as i said, i cant see anything.

Any suggestions?

The Player 5.0 uses RFS and not ext4?

yuck... :(

BTW, you should be able to identify a kernel zImage by looking at the first few hundred bytes of the partition. I forget the exact thing you should be looking for at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Kernel is confimed. So is pbl,sbl, and factoryfs.rfs.

I used a hex editor and found the copyright info for the pbl and sbl. The kernel and factoryfs are in a flash I created that has been confirmed to work.

Oh yes, pit confirmed as well. Opened with hex edit.

dbdata, cache, data, and efs are confimed too. Mounted in linux and contents confirmed.

param.lfs is just a guess. It contains images mostly. The images are ones that you would see before android boot such as warning symbols and samsung logo.

Any others are not confirmed.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
apapousek,

I appreciate the offer and I'll keep it in mind, but I don't see how anything could be gained by having your copies of the dumps. I also wanted to remind you that some of those partitions may have personal data in them. If you want to upload them and put up a link to them, it may help someone, so I would invite you to do so...

Also I believe that you are correct about p17 which I show to be 1.35gb
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] apapousek:
There is no personal data on them, at all. I used a completely wiped device. The only thing changed in it was the time zone, and that it was rooted. The images could be used for recovery purposes, and seeing the differences between the devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Oh I see, with this map and those files, a complete recovery( or very close to it) could be created. I would love to have these files! Is the model the same? YP-G70CWY/XAA?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] apapousek:
My device says it is a YP-G70, no numbers following it. The partition layout could be the same. If you have a copy of your pit file, I could use diff to see if there are any real differences. If you want, I'll allocate you some room on my server and give you an ftp account to work with.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Here is an easy way to check if you have XAA version (may need root). Browse to /efs and open the "buyer_code.dat" file as text. The only thing in there should be "XAA". You can also open "/system/build.prop" as text and find "ro.csc.sales_code" and it should = "XAA". It's important to know which one this is. The US version that I have has capacitive buttons on the botton while the international ones have a hardware button in the middle. So the firmwares are not interchangeable between these models. The partition tables may be the same but I suspect that the capacitive buttons driver is simply not included with the international ones.

I do have the pit file included in the firmware I created and posted at samfirmware.com . Last link in original post above. There are 3 links in the samfirmware.com thread. 2nd and 3rd both have pit.

Thank you for the ftp space. May I use this as a mirror for my files pertaining to the YP-G70? Can I count on this space to remain active within reason?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] apapousek:
Yes, I'm running with the XAA model. I do have capacitive buttons. I'll PM you with your ftp credentials. You may use this as a mirror for the YP-G70, and for any Galaxy Player you feel like. It should stay active for a year or so, I'm renewing it today, actually.

[HTC Sensation] ar4l:
Did you make a back up before flashing the update? If so boot into recovery and restore your back up. That will at least give you a working system.

You mention you are rooted, if the update is the official from your carrier you can not install it because you now have (I suppose) a custom recovery and not the stock one.

Is the update from another carrier? You need to change your CID to supercid if you want to install Roms from other carriers or custom Roms.

Hello mate you rooted your phone and then you downloaded update from htc for arabic. now if you want to install any official update then you neec to have stok recovery you can not update your phone if you have custom recovery, this is the reason when phone restart it shows you android with exclamation icon.
