[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spfraggle:
I have the UK version of the note and apparently you can change the orientation of the keyboard to support one handed usage depending on being left or right handed. I've seen screen shots of this menu showing how to make the change but my menu doesn't have any of the options shown. I am currently on the latest UK firmware and my device is not rooted.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi,

I installed a new external SD card in my phone. Copied files from my Note on to it. After a day I see the folder gone and an new empty folder LOST.DIR in its place. :mad:

Is my SD card faulty? I used it for over 6 months in the SG2 without any problems.

Please help!

Read this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulyDerek:
Thanks but I did read that thread before posting here and that thread made no sense to me.

My folder having Video files is gone and there is an empty LOST.DIR in its place.

I also do not use a Mac.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two_handed:
LOST.DIR is comparable to the recyclbe bin in windows.

if you do not permanently delete files they end up in LOST.DIR for a specific acmount of time. (that's the way it happens on my computer)

i don't think your Video Folder moved on its own to the LOST.DIR. Anyway, check in LOST.DIR - it should be there. Just move it outta there.

Hi,

Yesterday I had a folder called "VIDEO" with movie files in it on my SD Card. Today, there is just this folder called LOST.DIR which is empty !! There is no trace of the Video folder of the movie files anywhere.

My SD card is blank except for the empty folder LOST.DIR

Mine is a branded Transcend 4GB card.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two_handed:
Maybe it is bricked then. Do you have the possibility to cross check with another hardware, e.g laptop, card reader...

you can also try to format it, create a tempfile and check what happens.

what's the output of:

du /mnt/sdcard/external_sd ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AspiringDeveloper:
After some tests, I found this. If you have your phone connected to a PC (windows) to transfer files to the phone's externalSD directory, then use the "remove hardware option" without noticing there are TWO hardwares listed, then turn off USB from your phone, then unplug, you end up in this bad situation of a directory that's empty except for the lost.DIR (which is not accessible).

If you are careful to remove BOTH listed drives prior to turning off USB and unplugging the files should remain on your phone and be accessible. Your mileage may vary.

PS. I'm pretty certain the lost.dir is as dead as can be and can be safely deleted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two_handed:
It may be dead, yeah, but why remove it when it'll be created by the system again anyway and it doesn't harm?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
delete them all.

Some people have reported them as pushing 3 gigs. I don't have any problem getting rig of 3 gigs of wasted space. If it's 0 bytes? Leave it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two_handed:
As i've said before - it is comparable to the trash bin in windows. You don't empty it, it takes space on your Disk. Empty it, its zero byte.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulyDerek:
Hi, thanks for your efforts but I did not connect my phone to my PC for transfering the files. I cut / paste them from my phone usb drive to the external sd card with the ES File Explorer utility. The files were there for a day, then suddenly they disappeared. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AspiringDeveloper:
Gotcha. I have also encountered this problem. I suspect the problem is similar.

Because you say the files lingered temporarily, diagnosing a fix or work around won't reveal instantaneously if it was successful. My thought is if it is first copied to another dir then flush the clipboard by copying something else (no need to paste it) then copy the file and paste it into the externalSD, then the origin of those won't be contingent on proper disconnection of the drive. I've made two test files: one as described above and one copied direct from USB. I renamed each to clearly identify which is which. Both files were intact a few minutes after unplugging the drive. I rebooted to see if there was any change. Both files remain. I'm not sure how i killed the files using the jump drive before. Perhaps I didn't wait for the phone to complete the process of disconnecting it. **** happens.

If you do find a consistent way that even definitely following proper procedures leads to lost.dir I would like to hear about it.

[NOTE] I will not test (and do not advise) intentionally disconnecting the drive prematurely as a test of that particular possibility. If lost.dir is not produced employing proper procedures all the way, it is of no use to damage your phone or your jump drive simply to investigate if that was the real cause.

"If it's not broken, DON'T FIX IT!"

edit: Next day both files remain.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] spfraggle:
I'm from the UK and have the UK version of the Note. It seems that pretty much everywhere else on the planet are getting firmware updates and we are not. Since the release of the Note, I've read of other countries getting updates yet there has only been one here since release. I'm currently KK5 (or it could be KKA, not sure which number)

I'm just wondering why others get updates as we don't.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Richy99:
different countries always get differne updates, every company works that way with regards to android updates
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nuclearmonkeyuk:
You have the latest update for our country if you're on kka if u feel like ur missing out you could always grab a stock rom and flash that.. latest is LA6 or try out one of the custom roms available :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Towserspvm2000:
Time to bite the bullet! I was wondering when we'd get an official update too, as I didn't want to go down the same road as I did with the HD2 and flash a new rom every other day trying to find a good one. So I rooted the stock rom (same as yours), flashed the Samsung LA6 rom over it, then flashed the Abyss kernal. Much better now! :-) Probably won't flash a new rom now until ICS is officially out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeromepearce:
I'm with you on that.

I have the abyss kernel with KKA. Do you find much improvement with LA6? I have read about a few issues.

[HTC Sensation] UnseenMaster:
My issue started when I was unable to unlock my phone due to me not getting any response from the touch screen. I tried unlocking the phone without battery, sd card and sim card. Even tried a complete wipe on the phone. It became pretty apparent that my phone was done. Called Tmobile and they really couldn't troubleshoot as i had already done the troubleshooting steps. While on the phone with the tmobile rep i noticed that my phone was getting really hot. Didn't think too much of it at the time. Rep told me I would be receiving a replacement phone in the mail in a few days. After the call was over I was about to flash the phone back to stock when the phone completely died on me. As in the phone wont even turn on. I can't even get ADB to recognize the phone. I'm pretty sure the heat killed my phone and even caused the screen issue but anyways..

My question is... will Tmobile be able to tell that i had ICS on my phone? If so is there anything i can do to prevent them from being able to detect ICS on the phone before i send it out? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] wineds:
You could Microwave it? ;)
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
Not a good suggestion, even as a joke. Exploding microwaves are fun on brainiac, in an oxygen rich environment was my favorite, not so good in your kitchen.

It sounds like your motherboard is fried, I doubt they will be able to get anything out of it and you don't really have much choice anyhow.

Dear All,

TANGO

I am so happy that Tango VideoChat is working!! I suppose all ROMS taking the front vs back camera into consideration

GTALK

I am upset though and please forgive me for insisting for GTALK, I really hope this is not an ARM processor instruction set issue on our device, but if yes, still I dont understand why its really impossible to make the correct patches to make it work, and why Tango is able to utilize...

On other phones it works, like cheap Xperia's and our ChaCha not..it seems unfortunately

[APP][ROOT] Google Talk 1.3 with Video calling, Now wifi optional - is the title.

Under this thread there are various ways to install the video version enabled of GTalk. Personally I succeeded with the installation with @MOdaco install apk way and I can log in, chat with no problem. It also displays the camera icon correctly.

Only when I try to make a Video call from my side it hangs, and if other party tries to call me it refers to a network problem

USTREAM, BAMBUSER

(I prefer Bambuser due to the settings more versatility and I think better quality)

can be a Workaround to make your family at home see what you are doing instead of videochat and while streaming in the background you can initiate a call with VIBER for instance

If any other less battery sucking or nicer ways come out nonetheless GTALK updates make possible to work I will post it while being curious what others use... especially for phone to pc (mac)

Fine! I think it should work with Yahoo Messenger too, but wasn't able to try it yet because no one uses it. ;)

Like I wrote in another posting 10 minutes ago, it is not possible getting this to work. I don't understand too why Google is doing this and I also don't even understand why voice talk won't work without video talk (on the PC it does, on Android phones not).

Similar here - so nothing with Google Talk yet.

There was some App that promises video for Google Talk on phones where it usually won't work. But don't try this, it doesn't work on the Chacha either.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeX:
As the subjects states, it looks like there's no way to view pictures when the phone is connected to the PC in MTP mode via USB.

I understand that it is possible to achieve this in mass storage mode connection, however I don't like this as it requires a clumky procedure (Settings->USB->USB Settings->Mass Storage). I also undesrtand that mass storage mode is much faster, but when you need to sync a few pics, MTP mode could do, if it only worked the thumbnail preview....

Is this by design, or there could be a workaround?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansip87:
Hi there, since i'm on Xperia Ray but the devs is not many there, i think i'll post this on Arc's.

My Suspicion is that SE already had embed the Rotation Animation, but apparently turned off now. Why can i say that?

1. In android.policy\com\android\internal\policy\impl\PhoneWindowManager.smali there is a flag called fancy_rotation_anim. The code is like this:

.line 631
const-string v12, "fancy_rotation_anim"

const/4 v13, 0x0

invoke-static {v8, v12, v13}, Landroid/provider/Settings$System;->getInt(Landroid/content/ContentResolver;Ljava/lang/String;I)I

move-result v12

if-eqz v12, :cond_f0

const/16 v12, 0x80

:goto_29
iput v12, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mFancyRotationAnimation:I

2. in android.policy\com\android\internal\policy\impl\PhoneWindowManager$MyOrientationListener.smali there's a code like this:

# virtual methods
.method public onOrientationChanged(I)V
.registers 5
.parameter "rotation"

.prologue
.line 365
:try_start_0
iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager$MyOrientationListener;->this$0:Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;

iget-object v0, v0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mWindowManager:Landroid/view/IWindowManager;

const/4 v1, 0x0

iget-object v2, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager$MyOrientationListener;->this$0:Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;

[B] iget v2, v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mFancyRotationAnimation:I[/B]

invoke-interface {v0, p1, v1, v2}, Landroid/view/IWindowManager;->setRotation(IZI)V
:try_end_c
.catch Landroid/os/RemoteException; {:try_start_0 .. :try_end_c} :catch_d

.line 371
:goto_c
return-void

.line 367
:catch_d
move-exception v0

goto :goto_c
.end method

Now i had a modified Settings.apk to insert Setting$System config named "fancy_rotation_anim" when the Animation is updated. But unfortunately it doesn't do anything. Can any devs that's more experienced than me can investigate this? Thanks

And sorry if this thread has existed before. :o If yes, please mod close this thread thanks.

:goto_29

to read this

(remove the part i bolded above)

.line 631
const-string v12, "fancy_rotation_anim"

const/4 v13, 0x0

invoke-static {v8, v12, v13}, Landroid/provider/Settings$System;->getInt(Landroid/content/ContentResolver;Ljava/lang/String;I)I

move-result v12

const/16 v12, 0x80

:goto_29

that bypasses the check and (i think) enables the animation (if it is there)

it could cause a crash if the rest of the animation is not there.

if it does crash grab the log output and post it here.

i'll take a look.
