[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veletron:
Hi

I have a Galaxy Note bought from Handtec in the UK. They shipped me a Polish device. This Polish device has a CSC set to 'KOR'. The device is being used in the UK. The device is stuck on XXKJ4 2.3.5. I have no interest in either rooting the device, or trying out custom firmwares, but I do wish it to receive the official updates via either OTA or Kies.

From reading these forums, 'KOR' is not a valid CSC. So I use the *#272*Device IMEI# method to change the CSC. I select XEU as the new CSC which I believe to be for the UK where the phone is used.

I now get an OTA update which I download, but the phone refuses to flash it (tried several times). I try via Kies (downloaded from Samsung UK), it says "your device does not support software upgrading via Kies".

I wish to end up with a bog standard UK note at the end of the process, or at least something that will find/get the ICS update when it turns up.

Last time I order anything from Handtec. Updating a phone should not consume this much time, it never did on my iPhone. I love the Note, but need it to 'just work' due to a lack of time to muck about with it.

Can anyone offer a solution that does not involve ODIN, rooting, custom roms or any other non-Samsung provided solutions?

Kind Regards

Nigel (rather peeved with his Note!)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veletron:
Just tried XEO (polish) CSC, and tried to update the phone again. Failed in the same way. Looks like I am going to have to send the pile of dung to Samsung and have them fix it up with a UK (English) ROM/CSC on my behalf. Kies still reports that it cant upgrade it either.

Waste of time
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxh:
Rooting and flashing the latest stock ROM on my Handtec Note was rather simple and pain free. In the time you've already spent, you probably could've done it several times now with a time allotment added in for flashing ICS when it's released. LA4 was even a non-wipe ROM, so I didn't have to re-do all of my apps and settings.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxh:
And there are so many benefits to rooting, I don't see why anyone would go without. Full usage of Titanium Backup is in and of itself enough reason, let alone Ad-free Android, LBE Privacy Control, and several other great root only apps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veletron:
Well, I finally got it to flash by setting the CSC to DEU. It still would not update OTA, but at least Kies would finally see that it was an updatable device.

I used to spend many-a-happy hour fidding with my many WinMo phones and trying out various roms. These days I just need it to work (like my iPhone4 did!). That includes seamless major revision updates that see all my apps/config automagically put back on the phone after the update! It should not really be necessary to root a phone just so that you can do a full backup (incl settings) of it.

I love the note, its far more practical/versatile than my iPhone ever was, and the screen is superb.

Risk of a bricked device, too many custom firmwares, and custom firmwares that change every few days etc are the reasons I have not rooted/flashed with ODIN. I also do not know where to find a stock UK LA4 rom to flash to the device.

Due to the CSC being KOR, and having to change this, The phone wiped its self, that would have been the deal with or without root afaik.

The only stock UK rom listed on the sticky here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 is UK carphone warehouse. Which I imagine means I would get all of their crud on the phone too.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xupru:
The Accessories thread seemed to be mostly reviews, so I'm putting my question here, hopefully it's not in the wrong place :)

I use the Galaxy Nexus LTE with Extended Battery generally, although sometimes I have long work days/spend extended time outside/heavy use, so I replace the battery with the original to keep the phone going.

I got the Otterbox Commuter case for $40+ (and it went on sale on Amazon the week after), and am fairly happy with it, although it is a pain to take off and put back on when switching batteries. My large hand grips it well and although the feel of the power/volume rocker isn't convincing, it does respond when pressed normally. The fact that the screen protector that came with it only fits over the screen portion is irritating and causes dust to gather on the edges.

So my two questions are:

1. Is the two shell design of Commuter case much more protective than the Diztronic? http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...=UTF8&qid=1324672504&sr=1-1&tag=5336653508-20

2. Is it a good idea to just get the Diztronic for $10 and use it on days when I don't need as much protection? Or should I just stick with the Otterbox.

Thank you for you input!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sean is here.:
My 2 cents:

I don't have experience with a Diztronic, and I don't have a gNexus...but my thoughts are:

1. Otterbox has a proven reputation. They provide incredible coverage and protection. One of (if not) the best.

2. A case is like insurance. God forbid you should drop your $700 (or w/e) phone, do you really want it to be in the care of a $10 case which may or may not be questionable? For me, that would be a negative.

3. If you check other case design reviews, single cases have proven to often fail the drop test.

The 2 shell design of the Commuter is no accident. It's earned it's stripes. I'd stick with the Otterbox, if I were in your shoes...but again, I only have an SGS2.:D

So, some weeks ago I switched from MIUI to the Stock-ROM. Since that I have some Problems with my Battery...now I'm using CM9

On the Screen you see my Problem, on booth Times the capacity drops I reboot my phone...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Try changing kernels.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vfdesignz:
Okay, I will try the LP6 Kernel in the latest CM9 Build.

/edit: Okay, it's the LPB Kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sooti:
Ya, the LPB kernel has some issues from what I heard including: battery, touch screen and some other minor issues, i'd recommend everyone to stick with LP6 kernel for now
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
The kernel is the heart of you phones firmware.Thats why when you flash the wrong one you brick your phone.By changing it you can fix things that you thought had nothing to do with it.People think thats it only a kernel,just another part of the firmware but its probably the most valuable when it comes to how your phone functions.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
This can still happen on a stock ROM if the stock kernel is corrupt.It can be fixed by reflashing the kernel or firmware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vfdesignz:
Glad to hear that I'm not the only one with that Problem.

Now I have the LP6 Kernel. It's better...

@shumo: I'll check your link If I will be online with my PC.

@makrilli: Yeah, but sometimes the CM9 ROM is crashing or freezing, so I have to reboot...

[General Questions and Answers] Solar.Plexus:
Hello all,

Does anyone know of a program to edit .ttf files? My tablet uses DroidSansBold.ttf as stock font for the clock and such, so I'm looking to extract that .ttf file and replace only the numbers in another font.

I'm running Windows 7 and I'd like it to be free to download. Yes, I did a pretty thorough Google search, but none of the programs I found did what I needed.

Just thought I'd ask and hope someone has some experience with this. Let me know, thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] LiseyKat:
:confused: I just purchased this Iconia on clearance. I brought it home, went through set up everything went fine and I love it.

Then the update thing popped up, I was like "cool" and said OK download. I waited and nothing seemed to happen.

I clicked on the third button over on the bottom (not sure what it's called) and checked what it was doing. It was not downloading. So either I get a bar with downloading and 0% out of 100% or it just dissapears when I say OK download.

It's not a deal breaker. Just annoying. Thanks.

Android version 3.1

Kernel 2.3.36.3

Build number Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2
[Acer Iconia A500] HideyoshiJP:
This may sound silly, but have you tried a full shut down, bringing it back up and trying again?
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
If it refuses to update then you could always root the thing, install clockworkmod and manually install an update from SDHC. That atleast works.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
please check the fallowing .

Since you say that you bought the tablet on clearance..

Was it new in box and plastic wrap..

was this tablet a return. IF This is the case .. browse the app folder .. LOOK for programs like Acer Recovery Installer... Bustbox .IconiaRoot. .

these things will give you indication that the tab is rooted...

download root checker app from the market can also check for this..

if its not been rooted .. try going into settings /privacy and reset the device.. post back if you figure any of the above out. The more information you provide the easier it will be to help you get to 3.2.1 latest android system

Good Luck
[Acer Iconia A500] LiseyKat:
It was a floor demo model, reset to "new" settings. I don't believe it was rooted since it didn't leave the store. I did powered it down and back up again. I wanted to post this before I reset the device, you said in settings/privacy? I don't mind resetting to like it was right out of the box. Thanks again for the help.
[Acer Iconia A500] shin lucifer:
Floor Demo models are very iffy. The brutality they endure in the hands of people walking by, it's troublesome...
[Acer Iconia A500] LiseyKat:
I did a reset, still no update love.

I called tech support for Acer and talked to two different levels of support. Basically talked me through stuff I had already tried. Force stopping and clearing cache of updater. Rebooting, turning on Bluetooth (?) Still no luck.

He wants me to let it sit and see for a few hours and gave me a number to use when I call back to set up sending it in to be fixed. He has no idea, never had this happen before.

Oh well so much for wanting an easy android tablet, without the bugginess of my rooted nookcolor. ;) Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] LiseyKat:
So the good news and the bad. Good news the tablet wasn't the problem, my internet connection was. I guess satellite internet and Acer's update servers don't get along.

I brought it back to Staples and spoke to a easy tech guy and explained what it was doing, he hooked it to their wifi and poof it started downloading. Boy did I feel stupid. So let the big patch download there and went to the free MC Donald's wifi for the following two smaller ones.

So all is good in the tablet world again, even received the case and screen protectors I ordered.

Thank you. :-)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] petebiggs:
I want to use Thumb keyboard when I'm not using the physical keyboard and the physical keyboard the rest of the time.

This should be fine but when I set the default keyboard to Thumb keyboard when I plug in the physical keyboard some of the keys don't match up. E.g. the " key becomes the @ key and the £ sign becomes the # sign (I'm in the UK).

The only way I can do this at the moment is to keep switching between the Asus (UK) English keyboard and Thumb keyboard, but that's a pain.

Any ideas? I was thinking I might be able to solve this using Tasker but I can't find an option in Tasker to recognise the keyboard docking (plan was to switch the keyboard on docking event).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] regalpimpin:
I use thumb keyboard, and the dock and haven't noticed any issues like this.

Everything seems to be mapped out properly.

Must be the difference between the US dock and the UK version.

Or a setting in thumb keyboard. Maybe something is set to UK try US, or vice versa
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hyflex:
The "ASUS Touchscreen keyboard" defines the key layout, the physically key layout between UK and US docks are different however the hardware is the same (US layout) so when change software keyboard it uses the docks default hardware layout (US)

It's annoying because the software keyboard sucks but we have to use it in order to use our docks unless we keep continuously switching between ASUS and our software keyboard of choice...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
There's an app in the market called "Keyboard Manager" or something of the like. It will do exactly what you need.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stretchwookie:
this does work, note that its only for rooted users
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hyflex:
I'm not wanting to root yet, does anyone know anything for non-root users?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
Did not realize that. May I ask what your worry about rooting is? It is extremely easy, and just as easy to undo. This very thread is an example of one of its benefits.

Not accusing, just genuinely curious where the fear stems from.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hyflex:
Will it not void the warranty, I didn't realise it can be easily undone on the prime as I know with my phone I've had to unroot two HTC Desire Z's to regain warranty so they can be replaced and it was fairly long winded.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] petebiggs:
I'm also reluctant to root. My Prime is working sweet as at the moment and I don't want to risk any problems.

I'd rather pursue the Tasker route - does anyone know if there is a way for Tasker to pick up that the keyboard has been plugged in?
