I am darn near ecstatic that GPS worked right out of the box! I nearly got lost when I used GPS when I got my infuse:-P. Good job Sammy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zer0nine:
Wow this is great to hear. My first Android Samsung was a Vibrant and we all know how good that GPS was. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ndn715:
+1 whatever the reason, the GPS is ridiculously fast on this phone...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
I don't know what it is about the Note, but they actually beat every single other phone (android, iphone, and others) in terms of GPS performance.

And I'm talking like 12 sat locks instantly with 3m accurcary. It's ridiculous.

Glonass + Barometer ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] droidal:
That is so refreshing to hear and deserved after the Captivate fiasco.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
I actually loaded a GPS test on every Android we have on display (7 at my store) and then the Note. The Note beat everything else EASILY.

Just the fact that everybodys GPS works makes me,so happy. Samsung you did well for once.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dacket84:
They probably got tired from all the cries about some of their other products being sub-par and said "You know what... you want your freakin GPS to work?! WE'LL MAKE YOUR FREAKIN GPS WORK. EAT IT... now what? NOW CRY ABOUT YOUR GPS!" :p

(because the company as a whole thought that way...) :rolleyes:

Anyway...

Sitting at my desk where I am now I used to get maybe 1 or 2 sats on my Inspire... 5 or 6 on my a500.. Note I get 20 sats... and I'm not even outside. It's exceptional to say the least. Very pleased. :D

Great GPS!

I had a captivate which had terrible Gps. Then i had an infuse which was a bit better, but the note is amazing. I get a lock within seconds with a 9 foot accuracy on 11+ satellites indoors.:eek::D

I doubt it, seeing how it's an American phone, and the Ruskies aren't exactly our allies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] t3chw00di:
re: glonass use

Yes the apps are using both GPS and Glonass. They are just getting the info passed to them from the hardware. I compared my note to a friends samsung (can't remember the model) phone a while on a road trip. We both ran GPS test and she got 10 sats on hers. I got 17 on the note because it also uses Glonass.

I use professional Trimble GPS equipment at work in construction and survey, and they also use both GPS and Glonass so I'm used to working with both already.

:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] californiarailroader:
I'm surprised Glonass is enabled in devices sold in North America, or Europe, but I guess it's always good to have a back up. I can't see the Russian ones on my AT&T Note (I bought it on Thursday of this week, and it came with Gingerbread 2.3.6), the max satellites I can see is 14.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] t3chw00di:
Glonass is a global system, the same as the US GPS system is, and the same as the european Galileo system will be once it's built. As far as the number of sats the sgh-i717 can pick up, I'm sure it's not locked to a max of 14. I have a canadian version of it and tonight I was showing 22 sats.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] californiarailroader:
Cool, I'll have to try mine again today and see whether it can pick up on them or not. I found out something interesting, while I knew the US, Chinese and Russian's could disable each others GPS satellites in time of war, apparently the European Galileo system is supposed to be immune to that-

"One of the aims of Galileo is to provide a high-precision positioning system upon which European nations can rely, independently from the Russian GLONASS, US GPS, and Chinese Compass systems, which can be disabled in times of war or conflict."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_(satellite_navigation)

It's supposed to be more accurate than GPS or Glonass too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] t3chw00di:
Yeah it's supposed to be more accurate but they plan on charging for the real accurate side of it. As far as jamming, I'm sure the US will find a way to take the others out if need be :/

BTW on GPS Test, if you look at the skyplot the sats are all numbered. IIRC the sats with numbers under 40 are american and the ones over 40 are glonass.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] californiarailroader:
Good info, thanks! I guess mine is seeing the GLONASS satellites after all, I am seeing some marked 70 and above.

Hey Guys,

I installed Nova Launcher in the Chinese ICS Rom on my Note but my wallpapers dont scale properly at all! I have the correct resolution on em. In Fact all of them are downloaded from the wallpaper section in XDA for Note. They scale perfectly in TW launcher but not in Nova. Anyone knows why? Any setting I am missing? Please help! I love this launcher!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gitdroid:
Hi,

I set wallpaper from stock wallpaper gallery and it scale fine.

I still using the default option in nova and not yet change dpi or any display settings in this ics chinese rom.

Have you change something before?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itismadhan:
No, did not change anything!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
I have found this with another launcher (ssLauncher). When selecting from the gallery the size went completely wrong.

I selected from another source (Pic Viewer perhaps?) and it was set perfectly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
Try launching the new gallery app from drawer - the one with the red-purplish icon - and setting your homescreen and lockscreen wallpaper from there.

That's the way I'm doing it, and it scales images just fine.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
By any chance, did you guys install ADW Launcher before installing this ROM?

My wallpaper scaling problems started when I installed ADW......fixed them by installing another rom and doing a full wipe.

Also, you can use quick pic or wallpaper wizardrii from the market (both are free)

Btw,

which link did you use to download the ics leak rom......I downloaded the torrent one but I lose root access ? I'd be grateful if you could give me the link.

Many thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gitdroid:
I never use adw on my ics rom, just install nova after tw launcher and never have any issue with wallpaper.

I use repacked version from chainfire, its rooted and cwm included. You can download it here (torrent) :

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itismadhan:
I have the CF repack too but I am still having problems with scaling. The temp solution I have is setting the wallpaper with Tw launcher and then switching to nova. But still after some app exits the wallpaper scales back to its zoomed state and i do the whole thing again. Dunno what seems to be the problem. love this launcher a lot to give up for this scaling problem

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda6969:
I am also having an issue with 1.00. The top of the wallpaper is cut-off or underneath the notification bar. I am using a Galaxy Nexus.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanTh€R:
guys i hope i solved ur issues....read the following

The native screen resolution is 720 x 1280, but native wallpapers are actually 1440 x 1280 because of scrolling. However, Android always forces you to crop your wallpaper to "their dimensions". So, if you are using a static wallpaper setting like Nova, you need to tweak your wallpapers.

Basically, you want to embed a 720 x 1280 wallpaper on a 1440 x 1280 background. Then when you go to set the wallpaper, you stretch the cropping tool to its MAX size and it cuts out the "excess" background leaving only your 720 x 1280 image.

I have been trying to have ROM Manager create an automatic backup using it's backup scheduler, the problem I'm having is that it never seems work at night. I can get it to work when testing it during the day, but when I want it to do a scheduled backup at 1 am it never works. Does anyone else have this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Hmm, I wonder if the "DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER" in capital letters in the FAQ title might have something to do with this?

Do you know of an alternative way to easily schedule automatic backups?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waddle:
Chainfire has a cwm manager app that you can use to schedual backups. Just take it from one of the roms that includes it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
When you say it worked during the day but not at night did you set up the time and day to do it for the daytime and it worked and when you set it for the nighttime it doesnt work? What rom are you running? I am on CM7 and it worked on schedule just now for me so I will try it tonight for 1am and see if it works for me on cm7. I know other samsung based roms dont play well with rom manager anyways so that could be part of the issue? I will update tomorrow if it works correctly.

Thanks for your response :) I am also running CM7. As far as the tests go, they all seemed to work just fine, I even scheduled one 15 minutes out, and let my phone sit to see if it would work. It did work, and I went back and looked at the CPU spy and it said the the phone was in deep sleep. I was wondering if that might be throwing it off. I also have some other automated backups, such as my sms backup running and automated TB as well. They run just fine, it's just the ROM Manager that's giving me trouble.

[HTC EVO 3D] TheMC1192:
Hello I will be receiving my EVO 3D soon and I'm pretty sure it has an eng hboot and I was wondering if I should leave it as such or should/could I flash it to hboot 1.4? I pretty much want the same rooting abilities I currently have on my EVO 4G I'm not looking to delve into something I know nothing about...Thank you
[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
Understand:

(all are assumed that bootloader are unlocked)

1.4 hboot S-OFF = you can root like we've traditionally have for years and flash any rom

1.5 hboot S-OFF = you can downgrade the hboot to 1.4 and root and flash roms as will or you can keep it and still root and flash roms as will.

1.5 hboot S-ON = you can still root and flash roms as will BUT you just need to flash the kernel (boot.img) first before you switch roms via Flash GUI or fastboot and that's it!

I really don't understand why one extra step bothers people so much? if your hear, you like the hard way, IF you wouldn't then you would stay stock, unrooted and keep living the normal life.....
[HTC EVO 3D] TheMC1192:
I'm not worried about doing a little extra leg work trust its just that I was under the impression that you cannot get true s-off on hboot 1.5. But that wasn't my question I wanted to know if it was possible to upgrade the eng hboot to hboot 1.4 and how or point me to a thread that has that explained.

go into bootloader and it should say
[HTC EVO 3D] patrao_n:
There is no soff currently for hboot 1.5. But its real easy if you don't want to use a computer. Just use joeykrim app called flash image gui from the market. There is even a free version on xda. Use that to flash a kernel. Then boot into your recovery and flash the rom. Definitely easy. The only thing hboot locks to my understanding would be radio. Well kernel too but thats an easy workaround with the app.

both times it crashed my phone something crazy com.phone.service or something kept freezing, couldnt make calls or texts, etc

anyways, after factory reset 3 times i am just going to lose those logs... this is something Android needs to work on... while i HATED ITUNES... at least i could migrate all my stuff over without a hassle!

Hi all

I have a HTC Desire HD and have just rooted it. I've got the MIUI AU version and I love the interface. Only problem is, it doesn't seem to like my contacts very much. For example, even though I have someone saved in my contacts, when they text me, the text just shows their number and I have to save them again. Why would it not recognise the saved contact in the first place? I have limited understanding of all this root stuff and the main reason I had my phone rooted was because my previous interface wasn't that great and the phone was laggy and buggy. I also has millions of apps on the phone that I couldnt uninstall. (android 4.0.3)

Basically, can anyone give me any advice to sort my contacts out and have my phone running as awesomely as possible with this new rom?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnahc79:
Be sure to undo anything you did that requires root access (defrost apps, etc)

For unrooting, it depends how you rooted your phone.

1) if you used the one click method, there's an unroot button

2) if you used the fastboot preinstall method, delete the su related files:

http://androidforums.com/atrix-4g-all-things-root/423259-best-way-unroot.html

It may be as simple as only removing su from /system/bin and uninstalling superuser.apk, but doing a full unroot is the safest way IMO.

I just updated today. ATT 2.3.4 with locked Bootloader, rooted with the one click method. When I went to use the one click method to unroot I received an error message saying that I didn't have the proper back up files.

I've restarted my phone 3 or 4 times in the last 4 hours and so far all is well!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark9781:
OTA Rootkeeper is good only if you used a root method that uses the zergrush exploit. Most of the one click methods use it. I however, used a method that edited build.prop.
