[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
I've been wearing my phone on my belt for more years then I can remember - but since I had nothing for the Note up front, I've been carrying it loose in my pocket (with screen protector & ultra-slim bumper case) for a week.

..and I might stay this way for a while. I was always catching my case on things before. I was also hoping the vibration would be easy to feel in the pocket, but this past weekend proved the vibration isn't strong enough.

Might switch back to a belt pouch later, but going to stick with this way for a while & see. Be sure to post reviews of the Tuff case when you get it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Ditto, I've been trying it in the pocket for the last 5 1/2 weeks, also hoping I could get away from the pouch. But it was always hard getting it out, so I'm back to a pouch. I agree it is surprisingly hard to feel the thing vibrate even when its sitting right on your leg.

Updated post #2 with a full review, including pictures.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Two things I would change so far. I never used the D-ring on my old case, and never will on this one. I should have asked them to leave it off. Looks like it will be easy to remove with a razor blade.

I'm glad I got the pen holder/loop, but I should have asked them to put it on the BACK edge, and since I always wear it on my right hip, to put it on the side that faces rear (the right side as you face the back).

Some things for you to consider if you order one.

Nut case for Galaxy Note

This is my 2nd tuff-as-nuts case. My first outlived all of my 3 iPhones. It is still in almost new condition in my drawer. This is the nicest hip holster I have found. I have tried several. The clip will never break. The fit is very snug for the first week or so and then it loosens up. I am very happy with this case ever though it is expensive. I got chocolate leather with belt clip and full magnetic flap.

fit with speck candyshell??

Thanks for valuable info re: cases w/beltclips - will the phone fit with the candy shell over it??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
The fit is VERY tight with no cover. They design to the factory specs and go slightly smaller, counting on the leather to stretch a little.

They will make custom versions for a small extra charge, or you could compare all of their models by size (look for the link on the left side of their home page) and pick one that is slightly larger. The one they originally made for the Advantage is probably the one you'll need. If there is any wild chance you live in central MD you could try my old case and buy it from me if it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sgfainbuch:
thanks techntrek re: quest @ case w/speck

TECHNTREK - THANK YOU

...for your response & very helpful recommendation, I reside in South Florida - though I wouldn't mind a visit to your area...LOL

I really do like the prospect of retaining this slim Speck case when out of pouch - that's when I anticipate a clumsy drop - when in hand. My goal is to, when running errands, remain hands free - as I also will not carry my handbag..

Otherwise, in addition to the myriad of sunglasses I have contributed to Costco customers, they will enjoy a new $300 Note...

I will pursue your suggestion re: the Advantage; not sure I recall the link on the left of the page of which you speak. I do wish I could speak with someone at Nutshell voice-voice...

Many thanks for taking the time to respond - so very informatively!!

...for your very thoughtful response. I reside in South Florida - would very much enjoy a reprieve to MD, though not forseeable in the near future, LOL.

My goal: when running errands I seek to remain hands-free; don't wear a handbag & am concerned about a clumsy drop when the phone is out of the case - hence, why I believe it will be beneficial to retain the Speck case. Otherwise, in addition to the myriad of sunglasses I have contributed to Costco customers, they may have the opportunity to enjoy a $300 Note!

I will pursue your recommendation re: the Advantage case; not quite sure I recall the link to the left of the home page to which you refer. I do wish there was an opportunity to speak with someone voice-voice at this Nutshell site...

The cases really seem wonderful...

Many thanks for your very informative responsess & posts

Here is their list of sizes.

http://tuff-as-nuts.com/beltcasessizetable.aspx

Their case #270 is the one designed to fit the Advantage.

http://tuff-as-nuts.com/htc-advantage-7501xbelt-case.aspx

The list in the first link doesn't include their model #271 which is even bigger to fit the phone plus the leather flip case that came with it, see the link below.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sgfainbuch:
Thanks for the links! Having looked at case 290 (for the NOTE) again, it appears that even with the candy shell - it may fit! I've measured it sev'l times...not sure if I'm missing something. Length may be short by 1/8-1/16th of an inch. I will revisit again with fresh eyes (and some sleep!)

I appreciate your helpful response.
[General Questions and Answers] pbateman:
Hi,

I have written a simple app that uses the videoview class to display

video. It plays MP4 files without any problems.

It uses the hardware accelerator (IVA-HD) on omap4 in galaxy nexus to

decode the video.

However, I want to use software decoding instead of the hardware

accelerator. Is having your own decoder (ffmpeg etc) the only way to

do software decoding?

Under /system/lib I see the following files:

libstagefrighthw.so

libstagefright_soft_mpeg4dec.so

libstagefright_soft_h264dec.so

My guess is that libstagefrighthw.so is for hardware decoding while

the other two are used for software decoding.

I naively thought that removing libstagefrighthw file would make the

software decoder be used. Unfortunately, after removing that file, the

app just throws an error saying "the video cannot be played". Is there

anyway for using the in-built software decoder?

I have unlocked the phone and can load my custom kernel (in case there

is anything to be done on the kernel side, I am up for it!).

Thanks for your help.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] tapan15in:
Hero i will suggest that before creating a custom rom please get your basics clear. And then try to do the advance stuff.

Secondly just a tip never use master rom for flashing. For solving your problem go back to bada 1.2 and this time only select master rom. After you have sucessfully fback to bada 1.2 check if your phone restarts again. Upgrade to bada 2.0 just full download and thats it. Dont tick master rom in any flash after this.

Thanx
[Bada Software and Hacking General] hero355:

Hi, i have a question:

Now, i have ICS installed (thanks to Squadzone ¨BETA 3¨) and i tried to install Google Chrome BETA from the market, but..... don´t appears ....

I tried to install from Market web, and says me not compatible with my device (SGmini).

Maybe Chrome BETA only works on Armv7 and not on Armv6 devices?

If cannot install in Armv6, maybe we can later (like Flash player 11.1 can´t be installed on Armv6 devices) install like as this post can install Flash Player 11.1 on our Armv6 device http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21804344#post21804344????

Its possible install Chrome BETA on our SGMini

I got this error after 2 seconds

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dac1227:
I have been following Skyrocket development from day one, and yet I am confused about the push for NFC in current ROMs.

How is everyone using NFC with their Skyrocket at the present time? Certainly I understand the potential future uses for NFC -retail, data, ect; but what functionality does it serve anyone now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
A quick example. I have a nfc tag sitting on my nightstand. At night when I go to bed I set my phone on the tag. It automatically turns my wifi off, turns my alarm on, and turns the night mode clock on. Its really neat stuff. Paying with NFC (which we can't do yet) is only scratching the surface when it comes to this technology. If your interested more Google search it. There is tons of stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dac1227:
that's something I haven't thought of! cool example. Where do you get the tags? I assume you might then use a program similar to tasker with NFC support?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Funny story. Its actually a rewards tag for a gas station I frequently visit. You just scan the tag at checkout, I'm sure you've seen something like it before. I was just thinking about it one day and came to the conclusion that the tag had to be NFC. So I stuck it to my phone but the pre installed NFC app just kept force closing, so I downloaded one from the market and it worked. I can read and write to it no problem. :) however my wife has a similiar tag for a different store and I can read it but I cannot write to it :( as for blank tags just Google search "blank NFC tags".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dac1227:
I never would have thought to do that, pretty cool. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] karlgo:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eagercrow:
What app are you using as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
I was using sky ics at the time. There are a few roms that have it enabled. As for apps look at the screen shot from market. I've palyed with most of them. I haven't however purchased any blank tags. I think im gonna look into that :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
Just started using nfc on superlite 5.1, ordered 5 blanks from ebay for around 5$ i presume, you could probably get it cheaper from the US sellers.

I'm using NFC task launcher which works great and you can combine it with Tasker.

At the moment I have a tag attached to my car dock which automatically reduces brightness to 0(so my battery wont overheat while charging) and opens the GPS.

Only got my tags yesterday and downloaded the apps so I still got a lot to learn but so far it seems really useful.

I imagine to people with an office or those who use the phone for work stuff it can be even more useful for forcing a sync or almost anything you can think of at a certain place.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] smalis:
Great info in this thread - I now have a tag that will toggle silent and full volume on my phone (for when I go to bed at night and wake up in the AM), using NFC Task Launcher and Tasker.

I am trying to eliminate the audio notification when my phone reads a tag, but have not found how to do this.

Anyone know if it can be done?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] leslie22:
This sounds really cool. I have been searching to find free tags offered by vendors, but haven't had any luck. Does anyone know of a place like the gas station mentioned earlier that gives NFC tags out? yes, yes....I sound really cheap. I am. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
At the moment there doesn't seems to be way to do it in the app itself, you'll have to contact the developer. But when I used the phone on a tag when silent mode is on there was no noise, so maybe you can use tasker to silence it right before and enable sound right after.

To the other guy just buy them, I bought 5 from ebay for 5$ and at the moment got no use for 4 of them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Medic1013:
Lately my phone has been acting up by freezing up or fc quite a bit on apps. Its happens that I soft reset the phone but on boot up I can't get past the samsung screen with the triangle. I've let it sit for 10 minutes to see if anything happens but nothing. Only really solution I've found is to hard reset and start from scratch. This has happened on Caulkins latest as well as the latest sensation rom. I've verified md5 as well to eliminate issues. I'm using rogue recovery stock 1.1.4 currently but had this issue while running rogues' hitman kernel.

This is becoming a pain in the butt and searching for reset problems or stuck on samsung screen brings up to many results to sift thru for any real answers.

FLASHING TOOLS:

Odin => download on: Mediafire - min.us [With odin itself and ops]

These firmwares are odexed and non-rooted. I just removed the bootloader files (sbl.bin, boot.bin). So it is safe to flash them as there is no risk of hardbricking your phone (no chance to brick bootloader so download mode is still possible). I also added datafs.rfs if it was not present so after flashing your settings will be resetted.
