[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WereCatf:
I will be getting a Galaxy Note next week and as I have never owned a Samsung device before nor an Android phone (I do own a tablet but it is a WIFI-only one) I would like to pose a few questions:

* Is the bootloader locked on Samsung devices?

* Is it safe to install all OTA updates? Like e.g. on my Acer tablet the newest OTA update disables root access and locks the bootloader, too, the previous updates didn't do this and thus it definitely isn't safe to blindly accept OTA updates. If it isn't safe to install OTA updates which version(s) should I avoid? (I am located in Finland, northern Europe, if that bears any significance)

* What is the best PC-to-Phone and Tablet-to-Phone tethering solution? Googling around and Android Market suggests PdaNet for this, but it is not free and while it isn't exactly expensive I wish to know if there are other alternatives.

* Can Galaxy Note play high-profile H.264 1080p with H/W acceleration, or can it only do baseline-profile H.264 1080p with H/W? My Acer tablet does not do H/W high-profile so it kind of sucks for consuming random video content on the Internet.

Otherwise I have scoured the forums somewhat now and it seems Mobile Odin -- whatever that is -- is the preferred way of installing custom ROMs. I don't know yet how to root the phone, but I suppose it'll be easy to find out. Also I know ICS is promised for Galaxy Note but that Samsung hasn't seemingly given any timeframe for that, and the CyanogenMod ICS ROM is missing too many things for it to be suitable for my uses. As such I don't really have any other questions at the moment, but I would be grateful if someone offered some useful advice that I should know.

OT: I got to play with a display-model at a local phone shop and geesh damn the screen is big for a phone! I'm quite excited, can hardly stay put waiting for the end of next wekk :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WereCatf:
No one knows an answer to any of these things? What interests me the most is the H.264@1080p high-profile vs. baseline-profile question.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
* Is the bootloader locked on Samsung devices?

- Nope.

* Is it safe to install all OTA updates?

- If you're not rooted, yes. If you're rooted it does occur that it will remove root access, but it you flash a custom ROM you won't get OTA updates. That's no problem since you can easily flash the update manually within minutes. So don't worry about OTA updates.

What is the best PC-to-Phone and Tablet-to-Phone tethering solution?

- I have no idea since i'm not using it, but PDAnet is the most popular (i think)

Can Galaxy Note play high-profile H.264 1080p with H/W acceleration, or can it only do baseline-profile H.264 1080p with H/W?

- Not 100% sure, but i think you have to put it in a mp4 container for it to work.

About rooting, it's very easy and you can follow these steps. When you've done that you'll have CWM which can flash ROM's and make full backups of your ROM's in case you want to restore or something goes wrong.

There are a couple of things (like the video playback and tethering) i'm not sure of, so some other people will have to step in and possible correct me :)

Will it work on windows

Hey! will this app work on windows? How to batch resize using this? Can this handle transperency? And will it perfectly fit to MDPI from HDPI or it will have FC's???
[Android] mDroidd:
fc has nothing to do with size, I think...

windows, not yet. How to resize: option resize and follow on screen notifications.can handle transparency.

But no windows yet

[Android] Waddle:
Hey, I was just wondering what the build from source option does. (I'm not that amazing dev so this might help). Does it compile stuff Aosp, or cm7?
[Android] mDroidd:
yep IT does! It can prepare your PC for building, and compile AOSP GB, ICS, oxygen, cm7, and maybe another one I forgot... Wasn't it clear? I'll as more screens

Greets!
[Android] Waddle:
Seems cool. This will really help me out with starting an Aosp rom. Thanks
[Android] mDroidd:
You're welcome.happy users, that's what I am doing it for!

Today ,I made a big update, and added the option batch theme. Also made the tool git, installer file (much smaller and better), new directories support, code cleanup, and some fixes. And also, Apk multi tool is not more then a weak away from release.

Greets!
[Android] Waddle:
Thanks man,

This is a pretty amazing program. I looked at the script code and i am really suprised by how long it is. Nice job! As i type this, i am downloading the source code for gingerbread.
[Android] mDroidd:
Nice :)

If you want to, I can learn you how to code it. If you look at the code of the dsixda kitchen inside the scripts directory, copy that and put it in the main menu, it's as longas my script is now. That's what I wanted: ONE script

Greets!
[Android] v6ser:
How do I resize?

Is saying values:

I Have to put the directory?

Can you make a quickly tutorial for me? I just need to resize and then I will give credits to you also.
[Android] mDroidd:
If I am right, it says

Usage: SrcDir ext DestDir perc

Source dir contains the images you want to resize

Extension should be png

DestDir is where the resized images will be put

Perc is the percentage, from HDPI to MDPI IS 66%

Hope I helped.

Greets!
[Android] v6ser:
Yes it says, Usage: SrcDir ext DestDir perc

But you have to type on the Value thing I said before.

I typed:

~/src 9.png ~/src/new 36

36 is ldpi(is that right?)

And says this is not a command.
[Android] mDroidd:
Gimme the screen res of LDPI and Ill calculate. Never resize .9.png

Greets!

I'm not a fake.

I prefer people to reply to me and give feedback instead of thanking me!

But thanking me does show if you apreciate my works.

The name tells everything. General discussion about every single hidden feature/easter egg you may have found from ICS. ATM there are two pretty cool ones I know. First is the "Flying Ice Cream Sandwiches" which can be seen HERE

Other one is the RocketLauncher. Instructions HERE

Did you guys know about these already? Word is free

So..this is a feature...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Swissguy36:
The first one doesn't work for me, it shows the android but when I tap it; all it shows is Android 4.0.3 on the bottom and nothing else starting :( damn it's so cool I want it too xD

[Galaxy S I9000 General] inozako:
Well, as for the first one, 'FLYING ICE CREAM SANDWICHES", it is available as well on Gingerbread but with different animation, second, it is a launcher, so i dont think both of this are a feature for ICS..=D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wav2000:
Agree, the second one is a launcher related feature. The first one I've seen with different roms, so maybe it's an android devs prank!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zacburgess:
I like it

they both work for me
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwes1020:
Well as the title states I can get the vibrant added to the android open kang project builds (aokp). But I would need a working device tree.

I still have my vibrant even though I never really use it. But I would be willing to bring this rom to this device.

Of course it can be ported but what's the point when there is a dedicated build bot to do it for you? Anyways if you are willing to help shoot me a pm, I will reserve all credits for you. I simply want to spread a good rom to the device I learned on.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex9090:
There is a port of this Rom a couple of threads below in this section, person who ported this might be interested in this.

Side note, you better be working on some kind of cool red theme for ICS!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwes1020:
I've got a lot of ics themes ;). But when and where I release them is the question.

But yeah I need a device tree to give constant support I'm sure I can hack one together, but since I have a gnex I'd rather not spoil my time. I'm simply trying to help out. I always loved my vibrant and just trying to show some love.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
heck yes. That would be Amazing man. AOKP on ALL of my devices has a great ring to it.

i'm using HTC 7 trophy "Windows phone 7"

when i able to connect my HTC phone bluetooth with Creative WP-250, but when i play music or watch video the headset has no sound.. the sound only came out from my phone speaker

spec: headset

http://sg.store.creative.com/headphones-headsets/wp-250/437-20617.aspx

Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)

Bluetooth Profiles:A2DP (Wireless stereo Bluetooth), AVRCP (Bluetooth remote control), HSP (Headset profile), HFP (Hands-free profile)
[Windows Phone 7 General] andreacorti:
I use the AD2P headset from altec lansing (i don't actually remember product name) with my Omnia 7. music is fine, but videos (and it's known) cannot play audio to a2dp. to allow this you have to change some registry key
[Windows Phone 7 General] NebZoNe:
Hi,

you should ask in Windows Phone Q & A

in that thread you will find how to enable audio via AD2P when watching a video

but it's strange you have the same issue with Zune music...the bluetooth icon is visible when you connect your headset?

edit : andreacorti, thank you I always think that everyone have a reg editor in them device...my mistake
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] laeta:
So my SGS2 is about a month old and lately, it has been draining rather quickly. I decided to take out the battery and reinsert it. I noticed my battery level had dropped about 20%, but it fixed the problem for a couple of days. Now, I have to take out the battery every day in order to get it to last past 8 hours and the percentage of battery left drops about 20% every time (i.e. before taking the battery out, I'll have 80%, when I reinsert it a minute later, I suddenly have 60% or so). Do you think this is a faulty battery or faulty phone issue? Also, I have not done any software updates on the phone if that makes any difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
maybe be faulty hardware.... BUT

have you installed any new apps lately? check out the general section for common causes of rouge apps causing battery drain. also its the fuel gauge for our phone. entrophy has mentioned countless times that random percentage drops are due to it

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
I have been to a couple forums trying to discuss this phone. and I always come across arguments over what version is better. seems like there is a lot of animosity on both sides. but mostly on the international side I was just wondering why. we are all in the note family .we should be united in our love for this great phone. either version so what I'm asking is cant we all get along lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
It's called post-purchase rationalization. When you buy something expensive, you'll naturally defend your reasoning.

Because they purchased their version, they have a case of cognitive dissonance because they won't purchase the AT&T version

A fox sees some high-hanging grapes and wishes to eat them. When the fox is unable to think of a way to reach them, he decides that the grapes are probably not worth eating, with the justification the grapes probably are not ripe or that they are sour (hence "sour grapes"). This example follows a pattern: one desires something, finds it unattainable, and reduces one's dissonance by criticizing it.

As we've seen from many, many benchmarks between the devices, the benchmarks are on par in most regards. The exynos has a slightly better GPU, but the CPU is not quite as power as ours for floating point operations and a few other things.

Oh, and ours is LTE ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
And I don't want to trash the international but when the international users trash AT&T version it's like really come on man just be happy with what you got or sell it and get the us version and the only really difference that matters the most is the LTE you even know how much faster this thing gonna be lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
A majority of the AT&T users who bought the note, are the ones who are talking trash about our version.

Just ignore it though. We'll have mostly separate communities. Development will be separated too.

They can have their non-LTE phone and be happy. Most of them aren't from the U.S.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macwilson:
If this is causing you some distress, I suggest you wander over to a 'feel good' thread, like "Gorilla Glass" in the title (although these seemed to have died down a bit).

Oh yea, almost forgot to ask, does the Note have Gorilla Glass? :banghead:

Duck..!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] p51d007:
Why did I buy the international version?

Main reason is I got tired of at&t dragging its feet in releasing it ;)

The processor didn't mean much to me, I don't play games...

LTE? Going to be at least a year til it gets to my market, if that soon.

Updates...I prefer manufacturer updates, over custom roms most of the

time. Manufacturer roms almost always hit WAY before a carrier releases one,

if at all.

Bloat...unless you root, getting rid of carrier installed bloat is next to

impossible LOL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Almost all of your reasons can be tweaked/altered in some way to match or exceed the international note. We are on a developers forum so I would assume most people are going to take control over their own devices and negate carrier updates and bloat. ATT can try and cripple the device all they want but Ill be flashing a rogers or telus rom as soon as theyre available. Did wonders for my skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I bit of overgeneralizing going on. I am on this board and android central and have not seen this although the mods are quick to look at this for "signs". The thread on throttling, which many of us commented on, is way more over the line than this thread has ever been. It is not hate to point out the differences in the phones. They are different and will perform differently. In a few weeks this board will be full of posts why the ATT folks are not happy with their purchase and problems with their GNote, just as on the other forums.

Having said that, the ones who bought the International version should either be happy with their purchase or sell the GNote and get the ATT version if they want that and not try to tear down the ATT model. We get it, it is not a exynos...so what. If you want LTE, which I do, you do not have any other options.

I will be getting the ATT version, provided the reviews are what I expect them to be. (and keeping my International GNote) So I will have both and go back and forth between the forums. There is a lot more similar between the phones (touchwiz) than is different. There is a lot that can be learned from folks who already have the phone, on tips and tricks for example.

The ones who are getting the ATT version should not dismiss the experiences of the International GNote owners and the International GNote owners should not try to put down the ATT version as any less capable a phone as the International. As to what happens on other boards, I do not know or do not care. THIS board has been very civil, so let's all work to keep it that way!

Peace everyone!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
So the international version cant reach at&t lte type speeds over seas on a different network?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
No. There is a Korean LTE version but the ATT and Canadian Models are the first with customized LTE radios to be launched outside of Korea I believe. The International GNote is HSPA+.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
He's got a point. We will all be complaining about AT&T when they get an official ICS update and we dont!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MMAHavok69:
That's Not hate... The LG VI is ugly and were just shocked that LG would make something like that. It looks like a huge Nokia windows phone with LG's UI on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
I feel the Note community needs to come together so we can direct our attention against the Vu...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
I did preorder the AT&T version so I'm gonna be right there with you. As others have said, the international version is likely to continue to have a bigger dev community and we don't have the option that I777 users have taken of porting ROMs easily because we won't be running the same hardware. Hopefully there will be enough similarity to other, popular Snapdragon devices that we can get CM9 going in a reasonable timeframe. :)

The fact is that both devices have advantages and disadvantages, even if some are based more on personal preferences than objective criteria. Any time people feel strongly about their stuff, they will invite flame wars. My advice to rational people is not to take anything said on the internet to heart. Lots of people get heated about things and escalating any sort of conflict on a forum--especially on a forum that is meant to be devoted to development and sharing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
I'd have a hard time if AT&T offered one Note with a Sammy processor and another with 4G. I think I'd take the 4G...actually, that's what I'm doing. But I could easily go the other way, especially if I was still on Sprint with their awful Wimax coverage.

I wish I could have my cake and eat it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
Well between the AT&T S2 and the Skyrocket, I would choose the skyrocket. A lot of that is because of the development that's been going on recently.

I'd rather have these threads locked.

We're here to talk about our AT&T version.

-Not the LG 4:3

-Not the International version

-Not benchmarks comparing the 2

Everyone who buys the AT&T version will be incredibly happy with it, and before long we'll have an awesome dev community for it.

So just be happy that AT&T is offering a phone like this, and we'll all have something huge, fast, and badass.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] reinbeau:
And with that

I think the thread should be over. Really, the handwringing isn't going to help. I'm sure we'll have developers, I'm sure we'll have root and mods and all that stuff - once the actual phone is in actual developers' hands :D
[General Questions and Answers] Nexus04:
Hi I have posted this question in tge Desire S section but no one seems to have an explanation.

If I have to switch my phone off, when I restart it any apps I have put onto the sd card have "disappeared". Now another user has suggested that they have become fragmented and you can get them back by connecting to a pc and de-fragmenting the sd card but this takes a while.

What I would like to know is, is this just the Desire S that this happens to? Or is it a hardware related bug due to the make of cpu or memory in this phone or is it a bug with the Android os. My phone has 2.3.5 btw.

Any android developers out there that can explain why this happens, or is it likely to be something i have done like folders on the sd card or patitioning it incorrectly or something like that.

Its a little annoying as I have to switch my phone off quite often depending on where I am working.

I`m sure there must be someone on here who can tell me why this happens

Thanks for looking
