[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mancuk29:
I am just abput to return note back to amazon due to screen issues its the 2nd one i have had from them

I have lookes at the qhite veraion and it is available through hamstec for £499.

My question is. does the white version have the same screen.problems as the original black version?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonWolf:
Luck of the draw.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mancuk29:
so hit and miss on white as well as black .. its a shame samsung didnt sort out their screens before they sold the white version
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie:
My white had a worse screen than my black.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonWolf:
It doesn't matter if it's white or black ultimately. Because the screens are manufacturered independently and will be supplied to assembly lines as they need it I'd imagine. I do not think it would be cost effective from a production perspective to have every single factory be capable of producing the AMOLED screens. So I'd imagine it's only a certain number of factories dedicated to producing the screens which are then subsequently shipped out to the various manufacturing lines.

Hence, luck of the draw.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mancuk29:
mm not good ... im wondering whether its worth sticking to the black and try again from amazon or try a totally new company (as ive had two dodgy screens from amazon) clove or handtec ?? £492 with free samsung cover

what do you suggest any experience of either company in the uk ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonWolf:
I would try to get a drastically different seller in an attempt to get one that's from a different manufacturing line.

Either that, or wait until Handtec or Amazon is out of stock and replenishes the stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mancuk29:
I have spoke to clove they have ordered me one direct from their supplier as they had run out of the white version fingers crossed its a good screen
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dax555:
Hi,

I just lost my DHD, just as my husband and i were about to root both of ours this weekend!

We have obviously informed insurers, blocked the sim etc..

My question is this; If someone finds the phone, and roots it, will the insurance company still be able to track it via the IMEI or something??

They said they would put a 'block' on the phone, does this mean just the sim or the actual phone?

After building up to rooting our phones, I'm now thinking if someone finds mine and roots it they will get a free DHD at my expense :-(

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maatsby:
the IMEI won't be changed by rooting it

so if someone found it, and they checked the IMEI it should come up as lost/stolen

but of course that relies on someone checking the IMEI in the first place ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dax555:
thanks +1 maatsby

so the IMEI is a physical thing on the phone?

So basically, if someone found my phone, rooted it, used their own sim, there is no way for the insurance/ police/ provider to track the phone down?? (unless the IMEI is submitted and checked)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steeveeo:
You're close...what happens is if an insurance company 'blocks' the phone they actually put the IMEI number into a blacklist for this country, that means if someone turns the phone on it will be emergency calls only...the phones radio(how it gets signal) will still work although blocked and the cell tower nearest to it will track its location should anyone be tracing that IMEI.....

So....no ones getting a free phone , although that doesn't stop it becoming spares I'm afraid...

Sent from my HTC Desire HD using LEEEEEDROID. . 5.1.1
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbiggyl:
I can confirm that!

My Dad's phone (rooted DHD) was stolen from him last year.

We reported it (in my country we report stolen phones to the provider company who reports it to the general security department).

We gave them the IMEI.

In less than two months they were able to track it down. They contacted us and we got the phone back!

I wish u all the luck in finding yours! Cheers..

Thanks for the info everyone!
[Omnia 7 General] xpc21:
Hi everyone!

Wondering if there is or are anyway to calibrate Omnia battery? I think it is draining too fast, first i left my phone charging for 5hours to completely charge and just send 1 message and download Samsung App "Now" and in 1 hour since has now 92% of it. I use brightness in minimun, use Edge connection and nothing more to spend so much...in moment im using "mirolg" mi7ROM mango 8107 DFT, great by the way!

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Omnia 7 General] mirolg:
after each ROM flash i recommand the battery dicarger tool from MS Market Place.

really it works, really! It allow the battery circuitry to calibrate to the right energy level.

After flash a ROM, I let the battery completly discharging and then I charge my device for minimum 8 hours. then on 30% battery level I repeat this process. my battery has 40 - 50% longer life with the same usage.

"Even though lithium batteries don't have the memory effect issue, they still have a phenomenon called state-of-charge (SOC) mismatch. Battery Discharger employs various hardware resources available on the phone to discharge the battery power at a faster but controlled rate. Charging the phone completely from this state would allow the microprocessors on the battery circuitry to recalibrate and start reporting accurate energy levels.

Battery Discharger is a smart app that lets you discharge the battery of your phone at various discharge rates in a controlled manner. User can configure Battery Discharger app to use one or more of the following hardware resources to achieve the optimum discharge rate"
[Omnia 7 General] lomax50:
Thanks for your suggestion, miro!

I tested the application you mention and it works really well.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jmandawg:
I have a kindle fire and am considering a nook tablet, but I'm wondering does the speaker in the NT really sound as bad as people are saying? How is it compared to an iPod touch?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
I don't have an iPod, but I have no complaints about it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
I've got all three of these in my home. Fire best, iPOD next, Tablet sucks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jmandawg:
Thanks, i'm prob going to wait for the Asus mimo then. Although the Asus transformer speakers really sucked too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rwischer:
No, I don't think the speaker is that bad. I think the internal settings/controls on the stock tablet are what disappoint a lot of people. I wasn't happy either until I installed the Volume+ app. I don't have any complaints since.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] codygs83:
Ditto. The volume is just way to low on the nt.

That being said, I tried the volume + app and didn't see a difference. Maybe I just don't know how to use the app though. What settings are you using on this app to get more volume? All it seemed to let me do is control the volume for alarm, ringer, notification, etc.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] blitz1416:
I really find that to be an interesting position to take on whether or not you will buy the Nook tablet - not that I really care either way if you buy one or not as I am certainly not B&N employee or anything.

I own an iPad, a NT, and have owned an iTouch in the past. Frankly, I wouldn't want to listen to any of these devices through their internal speaker. They are all very small and can only provide a miniature tin can version of sound.

However, I will say that any of these sound great with headphones and can easily be improved with decent set of portable speakers plugged in.

Just my two cents on the subject...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jmandawg:
Well, i was going to let my dad watch movies on it, he's 84 years old, he won't use headphones.

I got the kindle fire, and really liked it but the space is so too limited so i'm returning it.

I was going to get the NT, but the speaker sucks, and personally i don't like the larger form factor for a 7" tablet.

I would get the galaxy 7" but it's too expensive.

Guess i'll have to wait. Thanks for the input everyone.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
Lol, wrong place to tell people not to mod it buddy, were in the android development forum :P

Sent from my CM7 Nook Tablet
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
The on-board speaker for every device I've ever tried out is crap for watching anything. I suspect my father (65) would just toss it in a drawer and it wouldn't be heard from again until one of my nieces steals it.

That complaint aside, have you considered getting whichever tablet you think will actually be the easiest for him to operate and just getting him a set of those plug-in speakers which just mount on top (or the side depending on how you're holding it)?

Like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Macally-Porta...96/ref=sr_1_66?ie=UTF8&qid=1330738941&sr=8-66

If he's going to be seated in the same place while watching a regular set of computer speaker may be preferable.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Hmm interesting find, has anyone used it?. Another alternative is to get yourself an Aux cable so you can plug your NT to most of all music player, i have that setup in my car :D.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
They're pretty easy to find in my area. They're not great, I'm sure, but at least they point in the right direction! :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sweetra:
Get the volume + app if you're running cm7 or rooted. Its really great. Can't believe I lived without it for so long.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ddurandd:
I have CM7 and tried Volume+ but didn't notice any difference. Not sure it installed right though because it kept asking me to "agree" to the license agreement every time I started the app. Are there any tricks to the install?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] noooky:
The speaker (one) in the nook tablet is very poor, low in level, and monaural. A cable into a stereo aux-in for car or whatever is a big, loud, stereo solution for almost no money. Streaming output audio over wifi to clients on the net will keep you wireless, this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23135348 post is looking to port MPD (music player daemon) to android, and there are no doubt others.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] katradar:
SpeakerBoost

I happened upon an app in the Amazon market called SpeakerBoost. I also found it on Google Play. This app actually works, and it is FREE.

It allows you to adjust the maximum volume output for any android device. I loaded it on both my Nook Tablet, and my OneV. The difference is like night and day. I was able to watch a movie on my Nook without having any external speaker plugged in. IMHO, that is one big plus. I don't have to carry around an extra speaker when I travel anymore. :victory: And if I choose to attach the external speaker, it is Much Louder than before.

I'd say that this app is a real find.

Since they don't have this app in the Nook app store, you will have to root your device in order to even get this app.

[Defy General] jesrani:
How does the Defy+ compare to Xperia Mini Pro and Ray phones. I want to recommend to my cousing sister.

We looked at Ace, Wildfire S, Xperia series, Ray, Galsxy SLCD (I have this one)

Defy+ seems to have good features at a fair price. Is the phone good?
[Defy General] kanna91:
I think below the 20k range Defy plus is the best .. for the features and its cost..

It counts only if u are ready to root ur mobile .. :p

Because Motorola sucks in giving software updates and most probably it will remain in GB only ..

Apart from these ..its the best ..Life proof :)
[Defy General] niksy+:
My vote goes for DEFY+, too, because of the superior build quality.

Besides that, no official ICS update is a minus, but CM9 will be available soon enough. On the stock Gingerbread, DEFY+ does everything and opens everything. Really, everything works! That's why I loved it from the beginning.

Other than stock, there are some stable CM and MIUI versions available for it and they will improve the experience further, with good looks and better speed, you know how it goes...

One more huge plus is that "Lifeproof" feature :) It's true. (Read the short story in my signature :D )

Cheers!
[Defy General] jesrani:
@kanna91 and @niksy+, thanks for the replies.

My sis is not going to change ROMS, maybe I can do it for her once initially. I have experience with flashing my Galaxy SLCD, don;t know if this would be similar.

Which ROM is recommended?
[Defy General] daniel_loft:
I would advise you to try the latest stable CM7.1.0-11. That's what I use and it's stable for the average user. (no need for troubleshooting skills and such)

I cannot say anything about MIUI or similar.
[Defy General] LeopardSurd:
I don't think your sister is a great gamer. The stock ROM is enough. Is not as speedy as Cm7 but it has less bugs. And the battery is better. I tried CM7 but I come back to my default ROM (in Romania 2.3.5 it the official one). Just root it, delete 7player, task manager, cardio trainer and zinio and install RAM manager from android marker. The free version has just balance profile but is enought. Is not a app killer because this drains bat but optimise the RAM usage (less lag). Believe me, it works. The developer is one of us, a XDA member.

For CM7, you should wait for the final version.

For a girl, Xperia Ray looks better than Defy. I asked my girlfriend and she told me that. For me, as a male, Defy looks better. Also, Ray will receive ICS update...official. But that's not very important for a girl: she will want a good looking phone, without functionality problems.
[Defy General] niksy+:
A girl, huh? My girlfriend likes my DEFY+, but wants a RAZR MAXX :D :D :D

Best ROMs I know about are MIUI Pikachu Edition and CM White Rabbit Edition. I'm getting 3 days battery life with Pikachu.

Anyway, I don't know, really... I don't like pointing people in the wrong direction :/ I've set up my phone real nice now, but it took a while and, like you said, your sister won't be up for that...

All I can say is that DEFY(+) is a really well built phone.
[Defy General] mrolp:
If I was going to buy an Android now, I would choose a phone with unlockable bootloader,

from a brand that could guarantee upgrade for at least Ice Cream Sandwich.
[Defy General] royale1223:
Get MIUI. Chicks dig it.
[Defy General] Arjoma:
Yep, would be mu recommendation as well if you want to install a ROM (alone because of the beautiful UI.design). Although there are less ROMs for the Plus (compared to the og Defy) I think the Pikachu Edition should work fine, installing ROMs on the phone is super easy.

If possible, I'd go into a store and try these phones, look which suites her needs best.

It is a nice phone with a good price, not really sexy but reliable. Speed is acceptable, camera is ok. The screen is bigger than the one one the other phones you mentioned (except Galaxy S which is better overall imho).
[Defy General] LeopardSurd:
That's the point: SE Xperia Ray has unlocked bootloader and official support from Cyanogen Mod too. Also, it will get ICS officially.

Defy+ is still not directed supported by XDA developers. If you install an MIUI should get the correct batt file for correct battery monitor. Pikacku edition have some stupid bugs like gallery cannot delete pictures.

My advice is to ask your sister what phone likes more (design and construction). Than purchase it. Purchasing any of them is all right. Both have vanilla roms, both are well designed and so on. Also, see that Sony Ericsson received 4 iF design awards.

I've tested a Ray before purchasing Defy+ but I preferred Defy+. Also, before it, I owned a Defy.

Any idea how to change that ?? :D

In theory there must be an SIM Emulation mode...

when i was using that test samsungapps (that included angry birds before official release) i saw that on sim change, again it gives us EULA to accept, but it just had one store! and 1 license agreement that were English

so i mean even it didn't had different stores, it included sim check !

and one other thing

if in one version of kona, sim check is disabled, so what store would it open by default for us? :D

but even with these networks samsung apps opens your countries store!!

As i did some researches MCC/MNC are also used for finding the best network to connect (Auto connect)

so if you can change this, you can connect to another networks!!

so these codes are kept securely
