[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itismadhan:
I am at work right now. Will post pics of the Note once I get back home (Can't post pics of iPhone and Note together cos I gave the iPhone away). I am not saying that the Note's display was bad but when I placed them side by side I could tell that the iPhone's display was better easily. I thought the Note should beat the iPhone in display easily because of the Note's higher resolution.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxano:
iPhone 4 (and 4s) has smaller screen, but higher resolution: 3.5 inches 960 × 640 px at 326 ppi. So it's screen shows more detail than the one on the Note.

I played with iPhone 4s and the Note side by side and would agree that movies, for example, often look "better" on the iPhone, especially the darker sciens. Although the overall picture is smaller, the iPhone's super LCD screen tends to give "more natural" look to a video than the super AMOLED screen on the Note, especially if the quality of the video encoding is not that great. In my experience anyway...

That being said, the quality of screens on the Note appears to vary quite a bit. There's a couple of rather long and active threads here discussing the screen issues...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MarkB709:
I've had a problem with the t989D since I got it. Here's what I want:

**Auto brightness turned OFF and the brightness remain at minimum setting.**

However, with all the roms I've tried (Stock, Juggernaut 4.1- 5.0, Tuesday) I always have the auto brightness OFF and the screen always brightens up to about 75% whenever I turn the screen back on.

Note: the settings still show as if the brightness is set to 0%, but the actual brightness coming from the screen is the same as if I turn the bar up to 75%. When I start to move the adjustment bar a slight amount for the brightness, the actual screen light drops right away. It only stays on 0% as long as I'm using it, but then is really bright again when I lock, then unlock the screen.

Is anyone else noticing this? Beyond that, is it possible to prevent the screen from adjusting it's brightness while the auto brightness nis off?

Thanks for any assistance!! :)
[Networking] FBA21:
It seems that many other people are having the same problem in the other forums and I thought I would share some info I found.

For those on T-Mobile who have Android phones, you may receive a "SIM Card Added" message.

This is not because of a ROM you are running. Even those with OTA releases of Android are having the same problem.

It seems that the newer SIM cards have a compatibility issue with Android.

Because I am a new user, I can't post the research I found as it is an external link. In YouTube, search "T-Mobile SIM Card leads Android Smartphone(s) to reboot" for some of what I found.

If anyone else has information on the subject, please post it here!

Happy modding! xP

P.S: I am running Andromadus v12 (alpha) ICS ROM on the T-Mobile G2. I was running the OTA version of Gingerbread (2.3.4). Same problem on both ROM's.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
I am moving from a blackberry to the Note coming March. I did used the blackberry as a modem a few times following the directions from the blackberry forums. Now I know that there are some applications for these android phones that you can do the same thing but do you have to root the phone to be able to use the wifi hot spot without ma' AT&T knowing? I cant have a phone that I cant "tether" to it, that will be a deal killer...

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] camaroz28:
Yes, you have to root AT&T android phones or buy a tethering plan (rip-off) if you want to tether.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
I know what you say about ripoff. If you already have a data plan why having to pay more to be able to use it with a different piece of equipment? I can only guess because the phones are less heavy on the network than what a pc could be since most websites for mobile devices are less data heavy.... Still, should be your option... Thanks, I wanted to stay away from rooting if possible. I am computer savvy and not technology impaired at all but I know a small percentage of phones can brick from the procedure... It will suck if I am part of that small percentage... lol!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] camaroz28:
I've never heard of bricking a phone from rooting. If you don't follow the steps right, maybe, but it's a very simple procedure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] drksilenc:
u can brick a phone if u dont odin properly. aka put the .tar file phone instead of pda

its not technically bricked but your modems are done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
Im pretty sure I can follow the procedure. Im new to android and when I read about any of these procedures I see the warnings about it so I think there is a real (as small as it is) chance for that to happen. Actually, if my memory serve me well when I started to investigate about the android market I think I seen a post of 2 about people phones being bricked... but I could be wrong....

Thanks for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jcc266:
I rooted my i717 following DA_G's method. Today I used the "Wireless Tether" app I got from xda awhile ago to create wifi hot spot with my i717 4G LTE data plan, but I got an error message saying "Tethering started with errors!" and there was no "Show Log" file to be seen to see what's wronng... I was able to use the same tethering app to create wifi hot spot with T-mobile 2G data ($2 dayly fee) on another phone.

Please help. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
You need to start your own thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Robes1:
I pay for the tethering plan because I need more than 2GB and if you go over that then they'll just throttle you anyway. Actually they'll throttle you before you even get that far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
I only tether in very few ocasions. I probably didnt tether last year for over 4 hours total and most of it was just waiting. I use tether for my work when I have to leave the office for something that I cant avoid and I have already used my lunch time. I login to the vpn, set the laptop in the front seat so i can hear it go off I someone is trying to contact me and that is it. If I used the phone as a wifi every day then I would definetly had a tether plan. My use is very sporadic but when I need it, I really need it and must work. I used to do that in my personal blackberry, once I get the Note I will use my corporate blackberry for that up until I decide to root it. I read about this app that let you tether off the Note and you dont have to root it so if I must I will get that... I will probably root the phone close to the 30 days of having it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maxh:
I think you have to delete or freeze the TetheringManager.apk that AT&T put on there in order for it to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jcc266:
Thanks for confirmimg what I read about freezing/unstalling AT&T TetheringManager using Titanium Backup/Restore. My remaining question is: do I use "Wireless Tether" app or do I just use AT&T's stock "settings/wireless and network/tethering and portable hotspot"?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carlitos66:
I am not sure about this, but I believe if you sign with the devil (AT&T) for their 5 Gb data plan it will include tethering already automatically?

I was same as you, very afraid of rooting or using Odin etc, untill I did follow instructions step by step on XDA forums and succesfully rooted international Galaxy S2, installed firmware to my Galaxy Tab etc. Guys here are awesome with helping newbies and people who are lost and don't ask stupid questions. Don't be worry, lets buy Note :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jcc266:
Update:

I did a backup for TetheringManager with TitaniumBackup app, and then uninstalled it. I proceeded by using "Tethering and Portable Hotspot" in AT&T StockRom, and I got the wifi hotspot to be seens & connected to two devices OK.

I also tried the "Wireless Tether" app that I got from xda, but the same error message ("Tethering started with errors!") appeared. I do prefer to use the latter which seems to have more download/upload information. Anybody knows what to do to make it work? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 06:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 AM ----------

Oh I have the "unlimited" 4G LTE data plan grandfathered/transferred from my iPhone 4S 3G "unlimited" data plan. I think if we get Wireless Tether work for AT&T SGN, there will also be less network "problems".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
There is no need to run any 3rd party app (the one you mentioned is notoriously buggy last time I tried) if you rooted. Just uninstall the 'Tethering Manager' app using TitaniumBackup and you can use the built-in wireless hotspot feature. You will get caught regardless which app you use. AT&T is packet sniffing. If they suspect you tethering, they will catch you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] codeworks:
You are correct on the 5GB plan including tethering. I was on the 3GB plan for $30, however, my 21% corp discount only applies to the $50 plan, so I figured it was worth it to convert to the $50 plan with tethering which after my discount was only $9.50 more a month than the 3GB plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DarkH2O:
Just a heads up...

I tried this app from the market called SVTP that enabled wifi hotspot without root on my Note. I used the Lite version that is free but limited to 2 days of unlimited use, then 5 minutes per day after. The full version is not limited but is $15 bucks.

Maybe there are other apps that do what this does that aren't so expensive.

Oh yeah, to the OP, you should change the thread title, cause you don't have an app for that, Canonical does, and it's not gonna be an app, that just wouldn't be possible, it's gonna be a full os that'll essentially dualboot, and from the looks of things it's integrated with android pretty well, which means that there's a LOT of work too be done on the Hardware manufacturer's end, or we'll need some amazing dev's too do a lot of work, and even then, i can't imagine being able too flash roms and have it work, i think we'll probably see a rom or two eventually created with Ubuntu baked in, i don't think we'll ever see an apk we can install and boom! Ubuntu! That would be nice though.

+1. This is what I understood when I read about it. It's not going to be an app to install on current phones. It'll be integrated by the mfg on select phones. Also, It is said to only work when docked, so you may not be able to access the ubuntu features directly on the phone. Still could be very interesting.

Supercurio tweet about this before on how this doesnt actually work. Most developers put this in the rom because people ask for it. It is rather easy to do with root explorer. It might look diffrent but you are looking at it differently. You want to see an affect so it is there. It is like if you believe in it. It will be there.

There is thread somewhere around here showing pictures even if it does work its very insignifcant effect.

What would be more effective is bringing back mdnie settings in the rom. So you could adjust the volumes of color.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsolomou:
Hello,

Lately I've been having some issues with my Samsung Galaxy S II. I am currently using the Omega v10.4 ROM, although I have reset my phone to stock multiple times to check and confirm that this is NOT a problem caused by a ROM, as this happens on stock as well.

Apparently, my phone does not like the standby mode. Most of the time when I unlock my phone, there is an issue that arises which basically makes the phone freeze/hang/lag at the home screen. I am not able to use the soft buttons on the bottom, nor click any of the buttons on the home screen, or slide between other screens. The main button DOES work, and prompts me to change to a different loader.

I've tried this with multiple loaders, and everytime this happens I get the error message "[insert_current_launcher_name_here] was forced to close.", and I get to either force close the launcher, or report/wait. "Wait" and "Report" pretty much do nothing, I just sit there and look at a frozen screen. However, when I do "Force Close", the Launcher at hand is (obviously) force closed, and restarts. Then everything's fine again.

This keeps happening over and over more frequently over the past few days, and I have no idea what caused it. I have not recently dropped my phone, and even though it's got a warranty, I got it from CeX, so I'm not sure how much they can fix on it, if they actually can.

I searched around and some people say it's faulty wiring, but it used to be PERFECT, and I've had it for more than 3-4 months now. Does anyone have any idea what could have caused this and how it can be fixed?

Thank you,

Richard Solomou
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Given you're having these problems with stock, I'd probably do a format of the internal SD card (also format your external SD card if you have one. Obviously back your important stuff like contacts/sms/call logs up), then reflash stock via Odin. Obviously you want to avoid restoring anything but your contacts, sms history & call logs, I.E. do not restore any apps or app data (including/especially system apps) in Ti. You need to to an absolutely clean install.

If you're still having problems after this, make sure the flash counter is no & showing Samsung Official in download mode (jig it if necessary) & return it for warranty service.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsolomou:
Alright, I'll try to format the internal SD card; I don't have an external one. The way to do this is to unmount it via Recovery and then select "Format SD card", correct?

Thanks,

Richard
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsolomou:
Hello,

Thanks for your prompt reply, here's what happened after I attempted to do that.

I'm not sure if I should continue with Stock after this. What does that mean that it cannot mount /sdcard? Isn't that supposed to be the internal one, since I do not have an external one?

Please advise.

Thanks,
