I bought straight from bn.com and it is defective, there's a 1-inch-line very hard to see unless the screen is black.

I'm planning to getting another one soon.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bassarnis:
Hello there fellow Noters!

This post comes to show you that our device can take a beating if you leave it idle and using it lightly. As I type this from the Note, the battery inces it's way downwards to 30%. This "test" was done out of pure curiosity and it sort of ended because one does not simply use the Note lightly.

"Test" conditions.

Firmware: Stock KK5 unrooted

Gps: On (havent used it at all during this period)

Auto synch: On (used it once every day via wifi)

Data: Off

Network mode: GSM only

Bluetooth: off

Auto brightness: On

Auto adjust screen power: Off

Power saving mode: Off

Calls: 2-3 five minute calls per day were made

Browsing and updating apps: Once a day during the synching, for 10 mins or less.

Believe it or not, the Note touched the 30% mark after 8 days and 8 hours following the conditions above.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] georgios73:
Good to know that it can last that long with very light usage. Maybe after a few months when I start to get bored of using my note I will start to see these stats on my phone!

For now I prefer using it as it was designed to be used and charge it everyday.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vcespon:
Obviously if you don't power on the screen, it can last on standby a week. I also posted something in this line, showing that after 17 hours of sitting idle I had lost only 3% battery, so extrapolating it could last a week easily.

But I see very difficult not to use the phone in a week. I have not used my main laptop in a week. That's how times change.
[Motorola Droid X2] jeremy46er:
I'm using a theme in cm7 called crystal. The lockscreen (sliding tab)is using the default gingerbread colors but the incoming call slide tab is themed.

Does anyone know how to get the themed incoming call slide tab to be my lockscreen slide tab?

I wasn't sure if i could move a file or if there was a setting somewhere that i missed. My guess is that something (framework-res or system ui) would need to be recompiled, zipped and then flashed in order to change.
[Motorola Droid X2] jeremy46er:
Ehh I just disabled the lock screen so when i turn the phone on it goes directly to the pin lock.

Hi everybody, I' ve been able to install the android market successfully, but I can't install the Google talk app, any ideas? I've tried the following steps http://www.androidictos.com/2011/07/como-instalar-google-talk-en-android-2-3-gingerbread-root/ with no success, When I tried to install directly from the sdcard I get "There is a problem parsing the package" :(
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] hellodzulz:

Yeah, I think we have to wait for a working ADB -> recovery -> custom kernel/ROM :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I love this device. Completely open, supported by AOSP. Fast, smooth, and gorgeous.

Some people just nitpick themselves into misery. There are always lemons (amoled screens, esp) in mass produced phones, but I feel like the Nexus is getting a rep that they are ALL like that. Its simply not true. There are issues, sure, but they can pretty much be remedied by software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notalent-assclowns:
I've had this phone since the Verizon release and love everything about it except the radios (GPS and cell). It really showed up this weekend as I was in Northern Minnesota snowmobiling in some really bad reception areas. I normally use My Tracks to map our route and the GPS was constantly loosing it's lock and the map looked like a dotted route instead of a nice solid route. Also, my time without signal was around 58% when my brother and my old Droid X2 was only about 12%. Being that I love doing outdoor things in sketchy signal areas, I'm really hoping they fix the radio in the next build.

I have no issues with battery life, screen quality, overall size though. I love this phone and just wish that Samsung would buy Moto for their radio chips (although they aren't perfect either, but better than HTC and Samsung in my experience).

I also don't think I could go back to a phone without on screen buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXJay_RXx:
Yea this phone has it faults just like all phones do but its still a great phone

I loved your work on the Thunderbolt. I know you got a ROM out but its been pretty quiet. You guys got anything big coming? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Yeah. We have a pretty huge project we have been working on for the last month. Out soon, I hope.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Geezer Squid:
I completely agree!! There is absolutely no phone for which I'd trade this one!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jamin13:
Gotta get the Galaxy Nexus Plus. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yousefarman89:
I agree, Despite any of the flaws, i have gone threw roughly a dozen Android Handsets, from the G1, to G2x, Droid Razr, Sensation just to name a few. I even had the Galaxy S, which i HATED! But everything about this phone is amazing. Like any other device, it has its flaws (Battery compromised because of the HD screen) but overall, its completly open source, you can customize it to your exact liking, and runs like a beast.

Bravo Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
I'd rather have a lesser phone on the Verizon network than go to Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
they will just be getting more of the same anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
After having Sprint for 4 years and now on Verizon for about 2 months, I can 100% agree with this statement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lowandbehold:
I'd rather have a lesser phone on ANY gsm network than go to verizon...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I rather be able to make a call vs. any "other" gsm network.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
I love my Nexus. People who nitpick haven’t been around the block as much as I have. After you’ve owned a myriad of other phones you truly appreciate the beauty and simplicity of the Nexus. Here's what I’ve been through over the past 2 years:

1) Samsung Capitivate – Terrible GPS and slooowww updates. Did I mention really bad GPS, like 200 yards off bad GPS..

2) HTC Inspire 4G – Good phone, terrible screen in the daylight, AT&T’s network.

3) HTC Thunderbolt – Sigh, extended battery was a brick, botched GB/voicemail update (what?, you left me a voicemail, when???). Spotty GPS and 4G issues.

4) Droid Bionic – Locked bootloader with no unlock in sight (I think). Screen and Moto blur started to annoy me.

I’ve only had my Nexus for a few days but I’m NOT going back to the above. Maybe I would feel differently if this was my first Android phone but it wasn’t. Other than battery life I have no complaints worth talking about. This phone stays until the next Nexus is released, period!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yousefarman89:
Ive had sprint for years, and recently got out of my ETF because of their new discount policy. I switched to att just to get the Galaxy Nexus unlocked on their hspa+ network and it has been amazing so far. Sprint has such a long way to go to even begin their LTE launch. So sad to see the leader of 4g technology take a big dump on the wireless industry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aridon:
Had sprint for years until their 3g and lol 4g got over sold. Left for AT&T and couldn't be happier. Have 5 lines with AT&T and moved my last odd line from sprint to Verizon for the nexus and again, night and day service difference.

Funny thing is my Verizon costs are the same as sprint. Texting through google voice and I use grooveip for calls when my minutes get low. 4gb of data is plenty for me especially when it actually works. Most of my sprint speed tests were measured in fractions of a mbit. Usually sub 150 kbs. Pathetic. They can keep their premium data add on
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yousefarman89:
Aridon i did exactly what you did! Left for ATT got an unlocked Nexus though. never been happier
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeekiz:
Completely agree with OP, this is probably the best phone I have ever had, hands down. I have no issues with it what so ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdanders:
I'll add that you should push verizon for a new phone if you are having a lot of data and/or voice drops.

I got a new phone and the difference is night and day... No drops now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] io53:
+1 on this. Coming from HTC I was very skeptical about Samsung and their plastic and the 'less good' GPU. But everything else is so got damn great about this phone that the plastic and GPU doesn't bug me anymore :). I'm sure I'll keep this phone until the next nexus is out :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] govindadas:
Ya, I'm pretty stoked about it...

It just makes me more excited for the 2013/2014 nexus!!!

I can't wait to hear the complaints then! ...We'll be complaining about having a 8-core nexus with 4GB ram when 16-core phones with 8GB ram are just around the corner! ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eiriklf:
I got my TFP yesterday and it was working beatifully until I connected the keydock which came with it. I had already updated the OS, and it connected and told me it was charging. However neither the touchpad nor the keyboard created any response(not even the funtion keys). After trying to reconnect it rebooting and factory resetting it a number of times the keyboard,touchpad and usb port has never worked once, except keypresses(on the keyboard) bringing up the context menu when I set right click to open context menu in the asus settings list. Is there any way this could be software?

I'm kind of desperate now since these tablets are not easy to come by in Norway, Asus suggested me sending it in as DOA which would mean sending in both the dock and tablet and not getting a replacement until the 22 of february...

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comicazy:
Are you running a ROM or just completely stock unrooted?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el6006:
Hit the activation and then hit cancel 3 or 4 times in a row. The activation process will be bypassed after a reboot after you do this.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaiger:
im just using a complete unrooted stock rom.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comicazy:
Are you going to be rooting it and putting a ROM on? If so, you should be able to boot into safe mode to bypass activation. I honestly don't remember the exact buttons to hold. I think you turn the phone of, then push power, volume up, and the trackball at the same time till it boots. Someone feel free to step in if I'm wrong.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerath:
Should just be power+volume down. Though stock may be different... it has been a long time since my inc was stock. Heh
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaiger:
wait am suppose to install a custom rom right?

power button+volume down is for recovery menu and their is no safe mode to choose from selection menu.

please help me guys :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comicazy:
I'm talking about an actual safe mode that disables most apps and should bypass activation. Here is what you do:

Turn off the phone

Remove and reinstall battery

Press power button once

Once the phone gets past the first HTC screen, hold power, volume up, and trackball until the phone vibrates

Once it finishes booting, you should see Safe Mode in the lower left corner.

Now you can root and install a custom ROM and never worry about activation again.

Oh and this safe mode works on rooted ROMS too.

The squeaky wheel may get the grease. But the ***** gets slapped. Quitcherbitchin!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnjutsu:
What el6006 said should work. I did this a few times with a backup Incredible I have. Go as far as you can without actually activating, and then cancel (back up one step), and then repeat until it bypasses. I don't remember needing to reboot, but it may help.

Also, no customization is needed for this.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaiger:
i did the safe mode but still don't work. huhuhuh...

Exists any way to use Samsung ID from one country and use carrier from another country?

Exemple: UK account with a brazilian carrier.

Note: Already changed firmware and product code to UK – XEU.

Issue: i can’t use UK store, my brazilian sim card (chip) are blocking to use account…

Any way to trick samsung apps checker???

Thanks!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
This may be a dumb question, but I'm good at those! What is the main difference in the different versions of GB? 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6 and 2.3.7? And then we have the JVU, JVT, JW1, etc.

I have been flashing ROMs for quite a while, 2 or more per week sometimes, but have never seen a real change in performance, battery life, etc. So what is really the biggest differences in these.

For me, Sensation 1.1 (2.3.4) is my all time "go-to". And I really don't see a drop at all from a 2.3.7 ROM.

Thanks to all the Devs for giving us there time and effort for all these ROMs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
2.3.4, 2.3.6, ect ....are firmware versions, updated the higher they go. UCKK1,2,4, UCKL2 are baseband firmware versions
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
I understand that, I was just wondering what the real difference is between them. Why is 2.3.6 better than 2.3.4? Just curious as to what the "improvements" are, to these newer versions
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
Fixes and improvments obviously, there not like apps and have to tell you what they were

Big Dogg Infuse I997 ZeusB5 ICS!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
I seem to remember 2.3.3 having random battery drain. other fixes could be stability fixes. its all minor changes. no new features.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Someone who knows more can correct me if I'm wrong.

I dont think there are any specific changes to each build.

As each build is release and errors are discovered, the newer builds are fixes for the older ones.

Froyo 2.2.x

GB 2.3.x

HC 3.0, HC 3.1 and 3.2

ICS 4.0x - maybe 4.1 if more bugs are discovered.

There are some tweaks and improvement from 2.2 to 2.3

From phone 2.2 to tablet 3.0

etc

The J series are prob similar..later letters mean later release...bug correction

Hi guys!

That is the question! Is there any way to decompress the files we download from Kies?

When we download any app, theme, whatever from Kies a file with .app extension is created in ...\samsung\Kies\Download\Applications.

As it is not an .app file from firm, it is not possible to open it with Trix.

Can we open it to see what it's got? Anyone knows?

Thanks in advance!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
you can see its contents if you open it with 7zip but you can't extract !!

The *.app file is encyrepted in some how but during installation it gets decyrepted and become *.oap file then copied to the phone then installed

If you are fast enough or your app is too big you will be able to catch *.oap file from either the PC or the phone

Please search more because Adfree explained this several times already

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
http://zirconia.samsungapps.com/rightIssueRequest.as

All ways leads to Zirconia... some DRM stuff...

Anyway. No really need to "convert" *.app from Kies.

Kies and handset do this for you. :D

If you can't install anymore this *.app with Kies, then at the moment no idea.

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] chetto106:
Sorry, sorry :P. I had read that post already but I didn't think it had relationship, because I thought the thing of .oap was different to the decompression of the .app.

I mean, with the .oap we can see the folders and files with 7zip, but we cannot see what is inside if we are downloading a theme for example. That's what I'm trying to check in to the .app downloaded by Kies. ;)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
Theme type 2 are Flash content with *.swf files included... protected by AES128... dcf.

You can't see anything yet. No way known to find/catch smt file for investigation...

Real bada apps with *.exe file in Bin folder are not so hard protected. :)

No idea why... :D

You can extract all files from oap... It is simple ZIP.

But you need to catch last state of Chain...

Apps are NOT Themes and Themes are NOT same kind of Themes... :D

Themes are NOT apps. :p

There are differences, BIG differences in protection.

If you want themes edit like Gorilla, you have NO chance at the moment.

Sorry.

Best Regards

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

You have to understand. That 2 types of themes...

The old one... thousends *.smt files...

The new one... like Gorilla.

These are Flash content, special protected to prevent catch *.smt.

Which is again ZIP. :rolleyes:

If you unpack gorilla.app from Kies you will find gorilla.smt.DCF.

Deadend.

Fash Themes are encrypted on Samsung Server, You download encrypted DCF Theme.

NO differences between Kies or store on handset...

SAME file, SAME store (Server) SAME protection.

Come back, if you understand difference between bada app and theme.

Otherwise it makes no sense for deeper research.

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] chetto106:
Absolutely!!

I have already checked.

.oap from apps, non encrypted

.oap from Gorilla, hidden :confused:

So it is exactly that way, these themes get their encryptation in Servers instead of the phone.

Good thing. We can check manifest.xml and/or application.xml without the encode. Maybe someday we can put facebook and twitter apps in a modified firm again.

Best regards!

hey all,

there is a new app on the market called WorldWide Flix which allows you to see Netflix video all over the world.

it gets a list of quality proxy server from the US and sets it to your device.

if the server is not fast enough you can simply go to the next one.

the application has a rating mechanism that lets you rate the server so that the bad servers go to the bottom of the results list.

it fits every android device with OS version of 2.1 and above.

Enjoy!
