[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
The OP is asking if its the "same" the answer is only yes or no and nothing in between.

From what I can tell nobody is making it sound like its unusable, infact you see more of the website on the Galaxy Note as compared to the IP4 due to the higher resolution but the crisp text feeling is not the same.

At least he only cares for text quality and is not concerned about brightness uniformity on whites or if they are pure or yellowish whites.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
That is the worst example i've seen :p You can at least upload a screenshot with the full resolution. Don't use the S-Pen method, but do the swipe. That way you'll get the correct size.

And don't upload it with the XDA app. It compresses the image even more :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] speedofheat:
There's quite a bit of FUD here.

The size of the characters is a function of screen resolution, screen size and zoom level. The Galaxy Note has a resolution of 1280x800 which is similar to many 12" laptops, but is crammed into a 5.3" display. Hence text will appear tiny when a normal webpage is displayed at native resolution without any zoom.

Having said that, due to the screen size and resolution, it's very easy to view an entire webpage and zooming into a section you want to read is a matter of a couple of touches, just like an iPhone.

@RipplingHurst: Try alternate browsers like Opera, Dolphin, Firefox to compare how well the page reflows when zoomed in. I believe that is the real crux of your issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] edanfalls:
Sure, those 3 factors are what influence the size of the characters, but that's only one factor in legibility. The pentile display makes for a significantly worse reading experience, there's no two ways about it. Particularly in greyscale.

And as the previous replies stated, it all depends on what you're used to. I'm used to working on high-end IPS monitors, which probably makes it worse for me.

But I agree with you that no matter how good/bad the display is, the browser still makes the biggest difference. And on the iPhone, the browser is very, very good at zooming in.

I recently noticed that the stock Note browser (most likely on all Android stock browsers), it uses static dithering when you zoom in... which is just ridiculous when you consider the power it's got!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RipplingHurst:
Very interesting points all. I should definitely try other browsers. i think playing with apps like lcd density is not productive to what im trying to accomplish. To the one who pointed how the wife reads well in the note being myopic like me, that really helped me and tilted me back to trading my skyrocket for the note. will see what happens.

i'm really used to read in bed with my phone very close to me, and I l'd like to quickly find a zooming that I like no matter what page. Apple stock browser is really good at zooming and deciding what to render together with text, as it was pointed above.

Now movies are not that important to me and I think the skyrocket does a much better job than the iPhone at that. Im sure I wouldn't be disapointed with the Note. I've read about the white tint and I can live with that, no problem.

But I really wish web browser had all the rendering power needed to display smooth text. For me that's the big deal about high resolutions in tiny screens.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PAGOT:
Ok me trying again. Despite I wrote you all up. Even with the links and all.

If you want quality and smooth fonts especially the small ones. The PenTile is not physically able to do that. Just to some extent of size. Has really not much to do with the browser... that rendering can really do only this much when it comes to small letters.

If you take out the rendering and the browser out of the equation when it comes down to it the SAMOLED will loose against SLCD , or IPS or how they are all called.

I never said its unusable and sincerely there is no competition for that res and screen for the next 2 months I guess or more. If it was unusable I would already sell it. But I would rather wait for an LCD with that res phone.

Am I just telling you. You will see thats not smooth.

Especially now that many ppl told you. And you using the phone on your nose.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
It wold be better if you can try the device for your self and decide. Im very particular about the screen and i easily get bothered about the yellowish whites that my replacement screen has.. and in dont like to crack up the brightness when im in bed using my phone but thats personal preference.

Movies on the galaxy note is borked for now theres a thread about it and this is the major deal breaker for me and the source of my decision to get a refund.

The screen quality/technology is the major factor on how great your text will appear. The really high ppi the ip4 makes it hard to beat in text smoothness when zoomed out. But it doesnt mean the galaxy note is bad you just dont get that jagged free text or thst safari goodness in text reflow.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] edanfalls:
If it bothers you, maybe you should start a thread about these screen issues Earl... you might get a couple of replies :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
Seems like the guys answering here have broken Notes or something. I can easily read an unzoomed webpage even in portrait mode with good quality fonts. Supercurios screen app also changes the rendering of small fonts so try that. I've tried the ip4 extensively and much prefer my Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Livewings:
The problem is with the goddamn font that comes with the Note.

Install Roboto and you'll be fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PAGOT:
Guys, no one said you cant use the Note....

But the OP is in particular out for smoothness.

No font, rendering etc cant help the physical build of PenTile. Its the hardware thats bad or that I am not get crucified, lets say not perfect... (far from perfect :D)

Please read something about it before you jump to advices. Look closely to your display. You really had to be blind to not see that the fonts, object anything is not smooth.

The other faults of the SAMOLED that the OP will notice particularly on brown or grey background I wont even start to talk about :) .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
One of the great joys of the note is that due to its large screen you don't need to hold it so close... Even though the dpi is less than the iphone, the fact that you can hold it further away should make up for it.. If you showed the same amount of text on the note and the iphone, does anyone really say it reads easier on the iphone?
[HTC EVO 3D] Sinerr:
I've noticed that AOSP roms that don't support 3D use up less display in the battery. However roms that do support it use up about 71% battery by the end of my day. Aosp or other non 3D roms use about 40-50% I don't use my 3D at all. I use the camera about 4 or 5 times on daily average in 2D mode
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
It's due to being stripped of sense like CM7 was on the EVO back in the day along with alot of other AOSP roms.

It still had 8mp camera working on most roms but sense was stripped so it made the battery life last a hell of alot longer also depends on the kernel. Also lack of eye candy :)

Other then that there good roms for battery life and kernels.
[HTC EVO 3D] Akasa Fox:
I also know several Sense based roms with the 3D carousel taken out. This causes a drastic performance increase. So the above poster is right. The eye candy of Sense causes it to use more RAM and processing power than an AOSP rom, in result, draining your battery faster.

Most people either love it or hate it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sinerr:
Thanks. I'll look for one of these roms or a way to disable some of the sense features. I'm currently running SupraRom 2.0. And I'm pretty satisfied with it. I'm waiting on ICSense to be released or even AOSP. Thanks for clarifying things
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] minnime007:
i came from original galaxy s to gs2 skyrocket and half my game dont work! "sorry your device is not supported..." namely Modern Combat 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] voidlogik:
Have a look at the order and chaos as well as the modern combat 3 thread under apps and themes. I have every gameloft game running flawlessly and downloaded from the app store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xtechx:
Interestingly enough if you flash a T989 ROM all gameloft games work fully but on skyrocket firmware virtually none of them show up.

The older ones that show up in market on skyrocket install but say not compatible.

The legit APKs from gameloft.com for gt-i9100m (my last phone) all install and work fine in either t989 or i727

I think they need to add some ident string to make it work...but they are just lazy and/or don't care about customers once they have their money.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] minnime007:
there's like 50 mc3 threads... do you have a link? (thanks btw)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Frogacuda:
It's just Gameloft. They're anal about only allowing officially supported devices to play their games at at the same time ****ty about adding devices to that list.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
If you're rooted, make the following changes to your build.prop:

ro.product.model=SPH-P100

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

That'll get you past the compatibility messages. If you want more games to show as available in the Market, let me know and I'll post the build.prop edits for that too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] minnime007:
yes pleasee!!!!!! :d
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Change these as well. Then uninstall market updates, clear market data, and reboot. Your Skyrocket should be able to see a lot more apps in market.

[Droid X General] hyrulejedi86:
My friend has the Droid x running the official .605 build from verizon, he was rooted and accidentally accepted the update and it unrooted him. He now has an unrooted DX and is going to upgrade to a newer ICS 4G phone here soon but would like to get his DX rooted again. That way he can backup the apps and app data to be restored on the new phone. But we can't seem to figure out how to re-root without SBFing back to froyo and losing all the data. Especially, since this would completely defeat the purpose of Rooting to back up data.

Help please!
[Droid X General] Sleuth255:
No problems. It's a piece of cake. 1 click root works great. It's detailed in Pete's Moto root thread in this forum. Lots of other step by step instructions out there too. Here's one on Droid life that also has links to the software you'll need:

[Droid X General] hyrulejedi86:
Wow, that looks very easy! And it won't erase the data? From what I can tell it won't.
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
Nope.

Enable USB debugging.

Click.

Wait for the 3 reboots...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shadowclock:
Greetings fellow Primers,

Didn't see this anywhere specifically for the Transformer Prime but have seen it in spotty locations on other device forums.

Since the GPS does not work as a standalone then we will have to utilize our android phones to get our navigation working. I have seen that the TetherGPS app prior to ICS update worked flawlessly for this purpose.

Is there another app or something else anyone is using/doing in order to get navigation working on their Prime? Was anyone else using the TetherGPS app prior to ICS on any other device?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fuzzer:
Wish this could be a sticky:

on the phone:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.Saenko.GpsOverBt&hl=en

on the prime:

https://market.android.com/details?id=googoo.android.btgps&hl=en

pair the prime with your phone...

enable all built-in location services, enable "mock locations"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shadowclock:
That did it...and I agree it should be in a sticky somewhere. Wish they had a toggle version of those apps so you wouldn't have to open up the apps to accomplish this.

Beggars can't be choosers though...it works. Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ahavens17:
I agree this should be stickied. I was trying to use Bluetooth GPS yesterday but had it backwards. Obviously not ideal but it works

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lionclaw:
Just an update for those still interested -

The 1.2.1 TetherGPS update fixes the ICS issue, and will now work with your Transformer Primes. It's on the Android Market, and will be up on Amazon's market in a few days.

Let me know if you run into any issues!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4436221:
So I just purchased a keyboard folio case. It works wonderfully but for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove the onscreen keyboard. I have absolutely no need for it and it takes up over half the screen when I'm typing.

I have searched all over the forums and I've googled it. I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I'm running the latest ICS Kang Nightly. I noticed that the EOS rom doesn't have this option either.

Does the stock ICS version have this?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
It's in Honeycomb and ICS (and the phone versions of Android too, I assume). If you're using a bluetooth (or USB) keyboard, then the on-screen keyboard should no be displayed until you disconnect. I use the Motorola bluetooth keyboard, there is no on-screen keyboard for me unless I disconnect.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4436221:
How strange. This doesn't work for me. I swear. As soon as I start typing in a text field the regular onscreen keyboard pops up. :(

Are you using stock ICS?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4436221:
I did find a temporary solution after doing some more investigation. I searched the market for some keyboard apps to see if there were any out there that perhaps gave you the option.

I ended up finding an app called null keyboard and this seems to do the trick. I basically select it in the Language and Input menu in the Android settings and it disables the on screen keyboard for you while maintaining the ability to use a physical keyboard.

While this does work pretty well, it would be nice to get the stock keyboard to be able to do this so I wouldn't need to switch back and forth.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eirrann:
On my Xoom (stock Wi-Fi ics), when using a Bluetooth keyboard, I can select the keyboard icon in the status bar that displays when selecting a text field and toggle physical keyboard on/off on top of the list of keyboards that shows.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth Breh:
Any way to disable the samsung keyboard using...

I also Purchased the Zagg Folio keyboard for my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 GT-N5110 android 4.2.2 and tried most of those apps like null keyboard and the like to no avail, so I was wondering if there is a method for rooted devices with programs like Xposed Framework to disable Samsung keyboard. thank you
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlmesq:
You do realize you've posted to a thread for the Motorola Xoom, not a Samsung device, and the last post before yours was two years ago?

I'd suggest posting in the forum for your device.

hi guys,sometimes i get this issue."simcard detach notifier" and then reboots itself.what should be the issue here? is it my simcard?how to fix this issue? tnx!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] robotohshs:
This worked for me

1. Flash back to stock. I flashed using the ultimate unbrick

2.Flash the PDA community kernel. I flashed using Odin.

3.using a file manager (I used root explorer) unzip the rom first

4.In the rom click data and then app and delete some things from there that your not going to use.

5.Then go back and go to system then app and also delete some things in there that you'll probably not use.

6. After all of the things are deleted rezip the rom.

7. Wipe everything before u install!!!!

8.flash the rom then flash hellraiser I used beta 6 idk if any other will work but ur welcome to try... then reboot and enjoy

If your getting a bootloop at the samsung screen u might have to delete more apps or make sure u used hellraiser beta 6
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
that's cool, bro.

did you try infuse based rom? bionix, numax-1, caty, zeus?

Prob better and native infuse too.

all tweaked out the waaazzzzzoooo ;)

Yeah I'm running Zeus.. I just made this if anybody was having trouble getting it to boot up

Found this the other night and wanted to share.

market.android.com/details?id=android.tether

If you open the link via the Market it will tell you that your carrier doesn't support it.

If you open the link via browser on your phone you'll be able to login to the market with your gmail credentials and invoke the download.

If you open the link via the market a second time you'll notice that install is an option.

I was able to install to my GingerVolt 1.3 without issue. I haven't actually tested to see if it works as a hotspot but it looks pretty legit.

The link actually came from the help off another HotSpot app I demoed in the market for $10. Said to use this instead if rooted.

Thanks to all of the devs for all of their time and mind blowing work. You guys are insane!
[LG Revolution] downtownscience:
Add https:// to the beginning of the link. The forum app wouldn't let me post a link as my second post.

[Xperia Play General] jp700p:
I love my Xperia Play because of the actual buttons. Touch screen controls are good, but nothing beats tactile feedback. For simple games, touch screen controls work just fine, but the Xperia Play wasn't a simply gaming phone device, it was able to play all my N64 games, and PSX.

With the release of the Ion Play, does that mean the end of our beloved buttons?
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
The Ion is the new American flagship for Sony Ericsson. It's not going to replace the Play, it's out because Sony didn't have any carrier-backed flagship in the US (the Arc wasn't available with carrier subsidies). It's not going to phase out the Play or anything.
[Xperia Play General] DeanBoro:
It is not "Ion Play" its just simply "Ion" its not a 2nd Xperia Play or as such. All Sony devices will be Playstation Certified.
[Xperia Play General] CZroe:
My understanding is that they support the use of Playstation 3 SIXAXIS/DualShock 3 controllers.
[Xperia Play General] bornotty:
I find it very stupid that every new regular Sony phones are getting the "PS Certified" tag without the actual gamepad. Its a promotion skill but at least make some effort like in the original XPlay. For example I love the new Sony Xperia S but how is it a PS certified ?

Sent from my R800i using MIUI
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
They want to create a gaming ecosystem for mobile gaming, which is not a bad idea. However, no one else is biting the hook, and it would be nice to have more choices for gaming than Sony's phones. Imagine some PS certified Galaxy S III or a Nexus Tablet made by Sony and PS certified. That'd certainly kickstart the ecosystem's popularity. It would damage Sony's hardware sales too, but since they're making a loss with them, it wouldn't be that big an issue.
[Xperia Play General] CZroe:
Read my post above. It makes perfect sense. :)
[Xperia Play General] bornotty:
the first part of the video explains what i mean here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OxkVclkM8Y

i just don't like the idea of tagging a device "PS Certified" which has tiny little virtual buttons on screen to play with
[Xperia Play General] poo-tang:
Its not all about playing on a tiny screen with tiny buttons all the time. Tablet S already has official sixaxis controller support for ps suite and we think sony mite roll this out over the hole ps certified device range like you see sony demoing with the ion here below, so there is a point to certified device's.

To see this concept in action check out this custom xperia arc we made with full ps suit early here http://www.xperiagamer.com/News/xperiagamers-plarc.html

[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
quick questions..

Are these asec files just the apps/games i have installed to the phone and they are being stored on the sdcard? I move all my apps to an ext partition on my sdcard so why would these asec files be eating up more space on my sdcard? Would it be safe to delete the whole asec folder without losing those apps/games on my phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
No, it would not be safe. It is using Google's implementation of apps2sd. Move them to internal memory from system app manager just to be sure. If you're on cm you can force all apps to go to internal memory and then move them fully to the ext partition on your sd card.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Very well explained, thanks for that answer.
