[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Dude, I still don't understand why you hang around in a forum dedicated to a product you don't own and only complain about. If I were you I would be researching my next phone, although seeing how picky you are, you'll probably never find a suitable one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Yes I know your the first one, but still you need to back your claims up if not then just step back and step down, I thought you were already done with this thread, Why keep on bumping it?

Honestly not even one person has pointed out what Im whining about, everyone is just joining the bandwagon.

Just like the rest who are blindly bashing and jumping in, you dont even know that I still own and have the phone the fact that I've re-posted in this thread that I have the phone proves that to me. But its cool its always nice to gang up on someone, I also do that from time to time. So Id like to ask you, what is my complain about the Galaxy Note? I believe you nor anyone else cant answer that w/o looking at my post history.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] depakjan:
LOL.. i don't understand.. EarlZ clearly said that he is returning the device because he has a issue with it ... he never said it is a bad device or asked you guys also to return .. he said he did a mistake ... whats wrong in stating that ... whatever issue he is having .. i am suffering too but the note is too gr8 for me to let it go.. its not the same for him.. whats wrong in this.. people are stupid.... best ignore them ...

Yes no device is perfect and Note is no exception.. having said that if that imperfection is soooo bad for you.. wont you let it go??? ... its all users perspective ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Someone finally understands my point and with out the need to reference any other thread or make outlandish claims that is NOT in the thread.

I really have nothing more to add but I wish all of you luck, Manhattan and depakjan thanks for being a kind sport.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indie:
Whoa, just had a look inside this thread. Why all the bashing going on? This is an open forum and people have the right (unless I haven't read the rules) to post positive and negative points. No one has any right to tell people to get out of threads and we all have equal right, as long as it's not abusive to one another, to say what we feel about our lovely or not so lovely phones. I have read his first post on here many many times and I cannot see what he said so wrong about the phone :-/

It's because of many people on here including EarlZ that we are trying to understand the issue of black clipping or whatever the hell it's called that affects many many Notes. It's the people who complain that gets things fixed from manufacturers for those who just stay quiet ! Just let people be and we all have a choice whether to read a post or just skip it by.

BTW I love my Note but just hate the fact the the clipping exists. Why should someone else have a better screen than me who paid for the same phone? I am actively contacting Samsung to have the issue fixed by both writing continuously on their facebook page, emailing CS and have also written to Head Office and am waiting for a reply.

Maybe the mods should think about locking this thread maybe and we should try to have one thread where all reviews can be posted in one place. How does that sound?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
This is not a thread about black clipping, so it's just thread crapping.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Coolkriss:
Note is simply superb ...

My little pro's and con's list

Positives :

1. Huge screen (more space to play)

2. Big processor (handles lots and lots of apps)

3. Big memory HDD and Ram (enough for movies, songs and your documents)

4. Fits comfortably in your jeans pocket even when you sit down.

5. An everlasting appeal

6. DLNA - Plays stuff off your Network Drive

7. 1080p . Damn is this good

8. PnP USB function with your MHL adapter

9. Large enough screen to comfortably play games or watch movies for long durations without stressed eyes.

Negatives:

1. Stock Rom sucks (But am still there :-( as i love my Camera and BT)

2. Too bulky to place near your ear and talk (get a BT headset)

3. Stupid stupid stock email app. Sucks big time when using with ActiveSync. I am having major problem with Push. Get all emails at one shot. The phone also tends to freeze for few seconds every time you open the stock email app ( I purchased TouchDown and even this has problems with Push)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Too bulky? If you have a tiny head, yes; if you have a normal sized head, no.

But IMO the white version looks a little bigger than the blue, so if you don't want to draw attention go for the blue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] noteworthy:
I'd like to submit my theory on why the GNote generally receives positive reviews but get serious complaints on forums.

The GNote is fabulous 99% of the time but 1% of the time it can be unacceptable to the point where the owner suspects there is something wrong with the hardware.

Reviewers probably have access to the phone only for a day or two and can miss the problems.When they do notice the problem like dark shadow pixelation,they assume it's a video source problem such as low quality,compressed data and thus don't criticize the phone.

Even supercurio acknowledges there are issues with the GNote's color rendering and is working on a fix.

I still love my phone but there is a difference between liking the phone and ackowledging the issues and fanboyism.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indie:
I agree with the above. I love my phone and there is nothing like it atm. Issues I will try to get sorted with Samsung, but best phone out there!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aalokraj:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jrxtepan:
Hey guys! Today I have a quick question regarding scripts.

Happens that I just flashed ICS Stock V2 and noticed that it includes both: TurboBoost and LagFree scripts. Well, I decided to dig into them and I realized that both have many common lines (yes, I know you already know) but they're set to different values. It will be usefull for me to know if this scripts are "really compatible".

I also see that Max Events Per Seconds are set to 60, 55, 60 (those are just some of the lines I saw) instead of 150. I would like to know which value is better wether 60 or 150.

Thanks for your brilliant answers :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
I guess, after reading around, that lower is preferred because in stock roms Android wanted to support lots of apps running together and switching between them but often times more excessively than was required which led to decline in task and battery performance. But if you particularly want 'lots' of apps running at once then more is more...
[General Questions and Answers] thecomputergenius:
Hi how are you.

I've been all over the web with this and it's driving me nuts. I brought a droid razr. it seems like when you are on a call for about 30 sec and you are talking with your ear to the earpiece you cannot change the volume unless you move he phone away from the ear.

I have tried this on a few phones both razr and razr max. I remember this on my droid X i see this on posts in regards to the Bionic.

I also downloaded something called volume control that helped at first (I thought) but we are back to the same thing again.

I called Verizon and Motorola of course they know nothing about anything like this happening to their phones. Moto wants me to send in my phone. the fact that there service center is 1000 miles away i don't feel comfortable because working in the pc industry a lot of times the items you send in comes back worst.

There are other issues with this phone to. The visual voice mail volume does not work all from the ear peice on my phone nor any razr razr maxx phone i've used

Theathering does not go to some https websites such as hotmail yahoo

I'm mainly concerned about the in call volume while on the earpiece. i never rooted a phone and kind of scared to. but and can give me some help I would really feel better thank you

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] peterlan_99:
Dear all, I've been using Android for quite a while. I have a question related to LINE application, one of the famous chat application available in the market.

As we know, this application is supported for both Android and iOS. Thus, when there is some message being sent from iOS users who included the Emoji font, our Android is not able to see that font. Our Android system shows just only the block of square.

I've try to do something as in this link See EMOJI and other fonts! [ROOT USERS] But, it still showing the square block.

Does anyone have any other method to see the emoji in LINE application?

Thank you very much in advance

PS. I'm using Huawei Ideos X6 U9000 ROM MIUI 1.11.11:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lazyfai:
Newer iOS (5) uses Unicode encoding for emoji, old version (4) uses old encoding.

The mentioned font only support old encoding, so I have built a new DroidSansFallback font, in case you want to try: http://lazyfai.dyndns.org/emoji/DroidSansFallback-emoji-ics.ttf

Rename to DroidSansFallback.ttf before writing to the device. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vetvito:
^ is this color or black and white only?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] peterlan_99:
I have tried this, at least there are some symbols show up.

But some kind of Smiley face is still in square block.

I'm looking forward to find ways to make it more compatible with android

Thanks

Has anyone used Daroon Player? It claims to play vob files but I cannot get it to. I would like to rip a movie and just be able to play it without going through all the work to get it to an avi or mkv.

I think I have it figured out. I was just putting the vob files of the main movie in the folder. I think it needed the menu screen file as it plays the files like a DVD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keem85:
Hi there! Thanks for taking time reading this..

I have the GNexus GSM version. It was rooted with Cyanogenmod working JUST fine, until I decided to un-root it. I downloaded the official room from Google (http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/msg/43c3a418144fc6c5?pli=1) and started flashing the Bootloader aswell as the room with theese fastboot commands.

My problem now is that the ROM keeps spinning on the splashscreen. I can't get past it! Also when I'm trying to access the Recovery mode, there is a red triangle. I can't connect the USB to the phone as the (adb devices) does not recognise the phone...

Any idea on what I can do?

UPDATE: I managed to get "fastboot" to work now. Now it seems I can't flash back to Clockwork Recovery image. It fails when it tries to write. Same goes to flashing radio images.. Any ideas?

What I get:

sending 'bootloader' (5300 KB)... OKAY

writing 'bootloader'... FAILED
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
get device in bootloader

connect to pc

./fastboot flash recovery cwm_recovery.img

./fastboot reboot recovery

done, flash desired rom.

the recovery you currently have is the stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keem85:
It worked! Thanks a bunch man!!!

If you don't mind! Would you guide me to Googles official GSM rom? Because this link I posted above seems to only be an update of some sort. I was trying to flash it from Clockwork Recovery.. (I never should have taken my original backup out from /sdcard/)..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
grab official 4.0.2 (there's no "official" IML74K/4.0.3 update yet) from here ; 180mb+ download;

untar it; you'll see several files, one of them will be flash-all.sh.

this is the script that you can use to automate the process of restoring to stock. if you open it with a text editor, you'll see how it does things.

now, you already have a bootloader and a radio installed, so we need to know if it's worth updating them.

bump your device to bootloader. in the left bottom corner, you'll see current installed versions.

if bootloader and radio are older than the ones provided by ICL53F tar you just downloaded, you might want to use flash-all.sh alone, once in bootloader you can just

chmod u+x flash-all.sh

./flash-all.sh

if the versions you have installed are already up to date, no need to reflash bootloader/radio, or use flash-all.sh.

among the files extracted from the previous tar archive, you see another file, something like image-maguro-icl53f.zip.

inside this will be more files like: userdata.img, system.img, recovery.img, boot.img.

we've got no need to reflash recovery.img, obviously because we have cwm already installed.

flash these separately, in order (like flash-all.sh does)

./fastboot flash boot boot.img

./fastboot flash system system.img

./fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

./fastboot erase cache

and at last,

./fastboot reboot

that should have you back to android UI, let it boot, don't send bad vibes to it :P

before anything else, be advised that there's a file in the rom

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

that, when reboot is called, will overwrite cwm with stock recovery. either delete this file or rename it. (ofc, you'll need su privileges, not available in a stock rom).

p.s.: there's a lot of threads that explain how to do this, not to mention official/unofficial fastboot guides. please try to search more next time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keem85:
Thanks alot man! You really saved my phone!!! :) I will save this for later use! I hope other people having the same problem can find this post!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Glad that you got your problem fixed but people need to stop improperly using the term brick.

If your phone is capable getting into bootloader and recovery mode then it isn't bricked. A bricked phone is a phone that doesn't turn on, unable to get into bootloader and recovery mode.

Thanks, this way it will not mislead people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keem85:
Yeah I learned that earlier today :) Sorry for that! Got one question thou.. The reaseon for me to restore it to stock rom and unroot it again is because I'm one of the unlucky having both signal drop issues and touchscreen bug. The signaldrop is the worst. It constantly drops from full signal to zero. Ive tried alot of roms and kernels and it fails even with the stock 4.0.1 I had when I bought it (now I have 4.0.2 after the help from bk201doesntexist)..

I don't know exactly how to ask this dumb question but I'll try.. When I now have restored it and upgraded it to 4.0.2-stock, and then flash it back to custom firmware cyanogen etc; Will my core change of software (4.0.2-stock) still be in my phone?... In other words, my signal issues and touchscreen bug might have got a fix from my 4.0.2-stock update?

You see, I've had this bug on EVERY rom I've tried. I've tried five different
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
i've had network signal issues before; updating baseband/radio to XXKK6 solved it for me (also updated bootloader to PRIMEKK15 at the same time, which probably isn't related in any way to erradicating the issue, although there's a nice way to test, just reflash "old" XXKK1 with PRIMEKK15 installed to see if issue still persists, i'm kinda lazy :p)

touchscreen bug.. you mean multitouch at the edges of the screen (there's a quick fix, just screen off, screen on again with power button, it will start working again), no, we still need to wait on google for that i think, but yes, there's a chance some good custom rom has the fix for it (cyanogenmod is a great example of a great rom), although it's not on aosp master branch yet.

note: benefits of aosp master branch - bleeding edge aosp tree. all the latest stuff go in there, is the most active branch of them all, the easier of them all to make changes in.

release tags (like 4.0.3, 4.0.1) are specific moments in the tree's timeline, hence no changes can be done after they're released - supposedly, they're stabler. Official OTAs actually originate from release tags. So you could build 4.0.3 official OTA yourself, if you cloned aosp tree and checked out 4.0.3 tag, and then build.

the master branch doesn't have a release number, it's ongoing development. to build from it is to have the latest version available of android on the date you built it.

Hi there.

I was using the Turkbey ROM and liked the framework and icons that were used. I have changed to the illusion XT ROM and have copied the framework-res, twlauncher-res and the SystemUI pngs over to this ROM and everything has changed nicely.

The only thing I cant seem to find out how to change is the background of the Settings menu. I have copied all the PNG's over from the Turkbey ROM but believe this is set in a XML file somewhere.

Could someone please pont in the right direction?!?!?!

whatsapp contact refresh

hi,

I hope this will help.

in whatsapp, touch the new message icon on top right hand corner. then touch the menu icon at the bottom of screen. touch the refresh icon.

It will sync the contacts.

as for the duplicates in contacts, i normally delete the ones for whatsapp. as whatsapp will refresh to the original contacts in phone or google account.

good luck.
