Thanks droidzone finally i was able to upgrade my radio version to 5.17.05.23 lets hope now i will not get this hang problem. :)

Very fast & stable ROM Keep up the hard work bro and if possible please provide arabic language as i get alot of sms in arabic but couldn't read them. But in your ROM language list it says arabic included.:confused:

Note: This problem came cuz of ARABIC Language support, I remember i have installed Runnymede ROM & its arabic language support file and just after i changed my ROM due to some problems the problem started (Device hangs) have format system,ext4 partation etc all of them but still stuck with this problem.

Sorry all for being such a noob....

Once Again THANK YOU ALL ;)

Hey guys..so I just did this review on the new convert case

This is very comparable to otterbox, ballistic, etc.. same quality and kinda same thickness

What i liked about it is that when you dont want to use the bulky case..you can just rock the surface case (which comes as part of it) so you get 2 cases in one

Hope it helps you

Thanks for posting! Very good review :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
anytime ..Glad i can help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itch808:
Nice review!

Any chance we could get measurements with only the surface case on (H X W X L)? I like it but am curious to see how much thicker it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] czechm8:
I have the Seiko convert case for my CDMA nexus with the 2100 mah battery. The surface case adds about 1 mm to the thickness all around. Fits very well. I pulled it off after about two weeks to make sure the case wasn't rubbing or causing any damage. All is good.

I like the idea of having the convert case when I need the extra protection for outdoor activities.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
^^^^thank you !!!! And yes I def agree of the benefit of having 2 cases in one :)

SMS App Customization Thread!

​

Here you can post your SMS themes. Show some screenshots of how you have your SMS app set up. Show us your themes and settings in apps like GO SMS, Handcent or ChompSMS... I will post some soon, but it should be interesting to see what people are doing with their customization options in aftermarket SMS apps!​
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DarkPand0r:
Firstly, I'd just like to note that this source is from CNET, I'm not one for stealing information....

After all the slack Samsung has gotten regarding the size of the note, it seems LG is ready to bring something "Big" to the frame, The LG Optimus Vu

A 5" IPS with a 4:3 Aspect ratio... Looks pretty interesting to me. Although if that Design isn't stolen from the Nokia Lumia then I'm french...

**Insert from CNET**

If you thought the 5.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Note was a huge flash in the gigantic pan, you were massively mistaken. LG is looking to make its own sled-sized smart phone, giving us a glimpse of the LG Optimus Vu in a new teaser trailer.

This 5-inch mobile is different from Samsung's Note in one major respect though -- it boasts a screen with a claimed 4:3 aspect ratio. LG, we'd like to take this moment to offer you "room with a Vu" as a potential tagline. You're welcome.

The Korean gadget maker gave a sniff of the device and its quirky dimensions in a post on its blog. And if our deciphering of Google Translate is on the money, LG seems to reckon the 4:3 ratio is perfectly suited to the human hand.

Hmm. We've never had too much trouble keeping our hands on more rectangular mobiles to be honest, but we'll likely see the Vu making an appearance at Mobile World Congress at the end of this month, where we'll get a hands-on and see how it feels.

Not much else is known about the Vu -- the teaser video (which we've embedded below) shows circular metallic buttons and rounded edges that remind us a little of Nokia's Lumia 800.

Along the bottom of the device you can spy four touch-sensitive Android buttons, and while nothing else is known for sure, around the web we've seen unconfirmed reports of an 8-megapixel camera and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor.

We didn't hate the Note, but it is too big to be practical for most folks. In a few years will all mobiles be so supersized? Perhaps we should invest in trousers with bigger pockets.

**End**

P.S. If this has been posted, I'm sorry :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SealsNavie:
As least its small than the note and it doesn't look very appealing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockky:
Samsung and the Note have recieved as much praise as criticism for the its size...in fact way more praise

As always the size criticism is a comment on the prefernce of the criticizer not the Note itself.

Obviously theres plenty big enough market for large screens.[/QUOTE]
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bassarnis:
Hahaha! Nice one! This is going to be shorter than the note and wider. How can that suit better to the hand?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] E_man5112:
It'll only be .19" wider, and half an inch shorter. Might make it easier to reach the top and bottom at the same time, though you will have to stretch a little more to get across. That might not be a bad tradeoff.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] itsjusttim:
Except all the wasted space on that screen as most video these days are 16x9 like the Note Screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vulpix:
Looking at LG's own records for updates, I won't even consider them a viable option.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
This phone was released almost 4 months ago and this one isn't even out yet.

Yeah that's a fair comparison.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
It's strange to go with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Larger screens generally seem to be widescreen.

I don't mind seeing competition - it helps legitimize the 5 inch form factor to the masses.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] spovat:
ya, no android device should be released with gb at this point.. that's just sad
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sprintuser1977:
Dumb ?, what difference would the 4:3 aspect make.?

From the Beast : Galaxy Note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oneiricl:
Well, if you've noticed, since the Note is 16:10, there's some letterboxing (black boxes/bands at the top/bottom of the screen for any videos in the 16:9 ratio (widescreen). You can see this clearly when shooting a video at 1080x720.

That's cos the Note's length/breadth ratio is lower than that of a 16:9 screen. [That's a ratio of 1.78 in 16:9 vs 1.6 in 16:10]

For me, that's the optimum balance between movie watching pleasure and a nice wide (actually high) screen in landscape mode for me to read on.

On the other hand, with a 4:3 screen, the ratio is 1.33. That means a widescreen movie would have larger areas of the screen blocked out.

If I'm not clear or you'd like more info, please check this out:

Wikipedia

In the end, it all depends what you intend to use your phone for.

P.S. Am a little puzzled why they'd go for 4:3 though. I thought that the standards have shifted to 16:9 and 16:10.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] E_man5112:
Space is not wasted on a phone simply because it isn't used in movies. :rolleyes:

A 4:3 would be more of a square shape. This means you get less of a long screen in portrait, and you get a more usable height in landscape (in my opinion). I actually prefer a 4:3 aspect ratio, as I think it's better for web browsing. Other needs and opinions will suit other aspect ratios better.

Here is an example of a 5" 4:3 screen and a 5.3" 16:10 screen such as the note displaying a 16:9 movie frame. You can also see specs such as image area/dimensions, etc.

Just wish it wasn't LG making this, or I might prefer it over the note.

I actually prefer a 4:3 for web browsing (at least on my desktop, as well as the iPad form factor). I would love to see a good implementation of it on a phone. Sadly, not sure that will happen with LG.

On a separate note, I just remembered my mother has an LG Vu already...

Strange to recycle that name into an Optimus Vue for such a different phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adelmundo:
Think of 4:3 aspect ratio as old-school CRT TVs, while 16:9 would be flat panel HD TVs.

Back on topic, I think manufacturers are finding a market for large phones or phoblets. As with the success of the SGN overseas has shown, once you go big, there is no going back. By having a phone of this size, you get the advantages of both a tablet and a phone and only have to carry one device. You also get the advantage of all day use because of larger batteries. There are may plusses with a phone this big.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aerials:
I agree. I had my doubts about using the Streak as an everyday device...but it took me just a few days to get used to it. I still remember in June 2010 when the EVO came out...and I thought 4.3 inch screen was huge.

But after using the Streak, I've become too spoiled with the extra screen real estate. So like even the GS2 and G Nexus both feel too small for me now.

It's even far worse with the iPhone...even if I'm using it for less than 1 minute just to input something....far too small of a screen in general...

Thanks to the phablet market, that's the main reason why I have never purchased a tablet. I would basically never use it if I had one, since phablets already cover what tasks I want to do.

But it's kind of funny to see many people have the iPHone + iPad combination...for that "cool" factor....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xero187:
First of all 4:3 is a retarded design, 16:10 is as square as you'd want.

SECOND and Most Important of all.....

ITS LG!!!

I had a G2X and it made me hate android for the brief period I used one before hocking it on Ebay.

The most buggy horribly buggy phone I've used to date!

Even surpassing my old HTC Touch Pro using Winblos mobile!

If you don't care about Reboots, Lockups, Sound driver crashes, Thermal runaways, and battery life.... It just may be the perfect alternative to the Note!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
This is definitely a 'to each their own' but I prefer a widescreen screen in portrait mode. It's like, well, reading a book.

It's good for forums - less space wasted for short '10char' replies, etc. Longer lines can just wrap.

benefits of 4:3:

point and shoot cameras shoot pictures in 4x3 aspect ratios.

TV shows are in 4:3 aspect ratio.

benefits of a wider screen:

movies/HD shows are widescreen so less letterboxing.

SLR pictures are generally widescreen.

web browsing kinda varies with the web site I guess.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
That LG gadget is full of lolz! 4:3 screen with GB? Anything released in 2012 should be 4.0.3

If they want to compete with the Note they need a similar form factor with the HD-IPS, that will give the note a competition.. especially if it will pack a tegra 3 and ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Knowing LG the Vu won't get ICS ever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eallan:
What does "reading the thread" have to do with it. The Note is still on GB without an ICS leak even. Who cares if it's "4 months old" that's at least 2-3 months they should have been able to get some ICS out the door.

Fact is, they'll both have GB, regardless of launch date. The note in the US market is about to launch with GB as well in a couple weeks. It won't be "4 months old." will it?

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

Thankfully you're not the decider of all things for humanity.

4:3 is a fantastically productive aspect ratio. It's better for everything you do on a phone except perhaps watching videos.

Wow, how "retarded."
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
Hmm. This is definitely a 'too each their own ' thing, but I prefer a widescreen for many things. When it comes to reading, I prefer a longer page. It's more like a book, and it wastes less space for short lines.

For pictures, SLR pictures are widescreen, although point and shoots are 4:3. Anyway, choice is good.

A wider screen would be even more awkward to type one handed.

Actually my son has an HTC Desire Z,with its 800MHz scorpion CPU is blazing fast.Much faster than my GNote.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DarkPand0r:
Not to sound rude but please stop taking this off topic... Were not arguing the speed vs HTC...

Back on topic.. I think a 4:3 ratio could benefit in terms of landscape use... Especially for web browsing. But the notes screen is vertically wide enough, but id like to hold it before i make an uneducated decision.

I used to work for LGM... Personally i wudnt buy one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
Its got a snapdragon. Nuff said

Blazing fast? You mean it has fast transitions?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ngocdao:
They should have dumped the Vu name and went with something that doesnt carry such a sour reputation
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] E_man5112:
And winner for the most ironic post goes to...

SLR's are actually 3:2 most of the time, as are point and shoots. When not shooting video at least. Then they are all 16:9 or wider. To me, 16:9/16:10 is too short to use in landscape and too narrow for portrait. 16:10 is better, but I still have a soft spot for 4:3.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eddiee:
And middle format cameras have usually 5:4 or even 1:1 ratio. Making it more square makes some sense as there's higher area coverage of lens.

But it's best to have camera like Panasonic GH2 which can switch formats. I don't understand why manufacturers don't do this for their top cameras (like Nikon D4), it would be killer feature.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
Man, medium format cameras aren't exactly mainstream.

I don't want to turn this into a camera thread, but cameras now have more and more sizes/aspect ratios. Nikon's most recent point and shoot, the 7100, has 4:3,3:2, and 1:1 modes. The just announced Olympus SLR has what, 40 different size selections? Pretty insane.

Though if you aren't doing some post processing of your SLR pictures, you are really wasting its potential.

I stand corrected on SLRs being 3:2, although I still believe they fit wider monitors/phones better.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
4:3 thats like prewidescreen era right? Lmao if it is, videos will look silly aspect ratio wise
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Very weird aspect radio choice by LG. Though just being LG disqualifies it from being interesting. I like customer support...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
I don't mind the form factor at all ,actually it could have few advantages as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] un4seen:
Who cares about the screen ratio? It's an LG, damnit. I had an Optimus 3D before the Note, and while the hardware was wonderful, software sucked, and how. Stock ROM was so buggy, it crippled the phone beyond repair. And, since I sold it to an unsuspecting sucker two months ago, it had no updates whatsoever. Not a good treatment of a "flagship" device. Never trust LG when it comes to software.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naimmkassim:
+1 same go to LG O2X..first dual core..nice hardware..but sucks software..bad GPU.. eek!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
Panasonic have a 5” phone on display at MWC, looking to hit the shops in EU around 3 to 4 months time.

Check out the link for details and side by side photo against the Note.

The main difference is the Panasonic screen is 16:9 vs the 16:10 on the Note, which makes one hand operation much easier. I prefer the 16:10 format myself, but I can see the Panasonic attract people who find the Note just little too big.

The only spec disadvantage of the Panasonic device is it has an 1800 mAh battery compared to the 2500mAh in the Note.

Hello all

Today i've got a problem:

My defy boot but it stops at the red "M" of Motorola.

I tried to flash a new rom with rsdlite but the defy isn't recognize in bootloader.

The "wipe data" return an error => error mouting /data!

Am I totally ****ed ?

Thx
[Defy General] Zeioth:
Wipe data should work, try to install the last version of drivers and install another rom, and pray.
[Defy General] LeonardoJegigzem:
First of all, did you flashed a SBF before the phone stuck on M??, if yes, try wiping data on stock recovery, are entering properly to the booloader mode??(POWER + VOL +)
[Defy General] champity2:
First , thx.

I tried the wipe data but apparently, the "data" doesn't exist or the phone doesn't get the permission to wipe it => "error moutin /data!"

I tried to flash a new rom by "VOLUM UP + POWER" but rsd lite 5.3.1 or 5.6 don't recognize the phone. I've got the drivers.

EDIT: And in the stock recovery the wipe data works but do nothing.
[Defy General] vaserbanix:
I have the same problem and what i did!

1) pull out the battery and put it back(and let it of)(must be charged)

2)start rsdLite4.9

3)sellect the sbf(with shorter name)

4)conect the phone in of mode (rsd recognize like xxxx3630)

5)start the instalation

(I use ...3.4.2_179-002 and it works great any time)

instalation works good and the phone starts it self
[Defy General] champity2:
Ok I'll try that, but before the phone doesn't start, I had charging problems and the phone wasn't recognize in USB. So I think this won't do anything.

I try it
[Defy General] vaserbanix:
charge in other phone!

or use McGuyver method!:

find other charger, cut the head and you will see 2 wires

oue red and one black, red is +pole, black is -pole

pull out the battery and conect red to +pole on battery and black to -pole

let it for two hours to charge(can try after one hour)

then try to flash SBF!
[Defy General] champity2:
Ok.

What do you mean by "connect the phone if on mode" ?
[Defy General] vaserbanix:
Ised "of mode"

means it is stopt

just put the battery in the phone and conect without start it in botloader
[Defy General] champity2:
Ok thx but when I connect it the phone starts and goes to the "M" and isn't detected :s
[Defy General] vaserbanix:
start in botloader mode if you can! (volup+power)

Give it first "wipe data factory reset" from recovery stock

try to see if it start normaly with old SBF olready flashed

if not, start in botloadermode and flash SBF
[Defy General] champity2:
It doesn't start with the old sbf.

I'm waiting for the battery (charging in an other defy).

EDIT:

Not detected by rsd lite. I tried to detect an other defy with the same battery andit works well. So I think my phone is definitely dead :/ You don't think so ?
[Defy General] vaserbanix:
no i do not!
