[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PorscheGuy:
OK, so I loaded the new LB1 Open Germany yesterday morning, but it looks like I also need to change my CSC from KOR to DBT to match, which will unfortunately wipe my phone. :(

Before I proceed does anyone have any answers to my original question? Is the LB1 Open Germany ROM the best choice for running on Straight Talk in the US or would I be better off with a different ROM/CSC? My concern of course is the best compatibility in the US, but if the ROM choice doesn't matter for that then I'd like to pick the one that gets the newest OTA updates first, which I think is Germany from the reading I've done.

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YBLEGAL1605:
I too wish someone else would chime in. I am also on straight talk. This is also my first international phone. I flashed from kk1 to la3 open europe. After 1 day of use it looks like this has worse battery life than kk1 Hong Kong. I'm rooted with 1 percent mod and crt off. Android OS is the dominant process even with my screen timeout set to 10 minutes and me leaving it on constantly. Over 3 hours i think it was...cleared my stats just now, ran batt to 0 for first time. I've only had the phone 3 days but I'm lovin it.

Looking for stock builds to hold me over until the inevitable official ice cream sandwich release

---------- Post added at 03:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 AM ----------

Oh and since i obviously don't post alot, i have to say so far both builds feel slow to turn on. And home jump is laggy. Lock screen was slow on kk1, fine on la3. Hope someone finds this info useful...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrink:
I would be interested as well. I am usung the stock KK1 that my phone came with and want to stick with non-custom roms for now. Thanks!

I'm using Germany LA4 and it's perfect.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arrancamos:
Using lb1 from king Droid 5... the best ROM, but dunno why can't download videos from you tube now, no roller tube app omg!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PorscheGuy:
Hmmm, I don't recall seeing King Droid 5's LB1 ROM on Samsung's official ROM list, but maybe I missed it... :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YBLEGAL1605:
Did you try lb1 yet? How's battery life with either la4 or lb1?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hkgrob:
If you are on the Hong Kong KK1, there was an update to LA2 a few weeks back which includes all the newer features.

Regarding CSC, you only need to change it if you want to get OTA upgrades for the rom, but since you are happy flashing via ODIN, why bother changing it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PorscheGuy:
I guess I'm just anal and would like my phone to be set up perfectly. And although I'm quite happy to just use ODIN (and probably will to get ICS sooner) I read in another thread that my CSC not matching is why my APN won't auto configure. Not sure if that's true for sure, but mine won't and I've had all kinds of trouble with data this week. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrink:
Should LA2 have been pushed OTA? I have checked for updates but have always gotten the "you have the latest version" message.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrink:
LOL I know exactly what you mean. APN didn't autoconfigure on mine either and it has been niggling at me ever since. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrink:
I see that this LA2 is not rootable and that I will lose root if I flash it. Is that correct? I also see that it will wipe the device. If it is worth it, I could flash it and then wait for ICS. This is really an interim solution until an official ICS build is released. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rraquib:
AFAIK Straight Talk APN does not auto configure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrink:
Being a relative newb here, what is Straight Talk? I presume it is a method of network identification but otherwise I have no clue. I have read, however, that some other folks' notes' APNS's did automatically get configured and am wondering why mine didn't. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PorscheGuy:
Straight Talk is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) that uses (resells) AT&T and T-Mobile under their own name. It's a great deal because it's $45 a month for unlimited everything, although I hear you should keep under 2GB (or 3GB) per month.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PorscheGuy:
Hmmm, that's too bad as I was hoping that might fix my data issues I've been having this week. :( Might not bother changing my CSC then...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YBLEGAL1605:
Mine have never auto configured, i think you are correct.

Lb1 after 1 day feels good. Doesnt wake as fast as it could...but better. Home jump still slow. O well better battery thus far, os is not dominant!

By the way, check the theme section if you want cwm flashable crt off and batt percent, i made a package for lb1

Did you use straighttalksim.com? Do u have your card with apn settings? Mine works awesome. 2.5mbps on hspa
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PorscheGuy:
Yes I used straighttalksim.com and went back to the APN settings on the card last night. Data is slow but at least more stable today than it has been all week. Keeps flipping between 3G, H and H+ though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YBLEGAL1605:
There is a setting you need to disable. Fast recovery or something like that. I found it on xda 2 days a. Forget where or how. Atts network doesnt aupport it tho

---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

It will then stay at the highest speed it can
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PorscheGuy:
It's Fast Dormancy and I have mine set to disabled already.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YBLEGAL1605:
Well than thats too bad. Maybe its just a regional thing (im in nw indiana by chi)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isriam:
any update on what you guys are now running? i too am in the same boat. wish there was a usa firmware!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PorscheGuy:
I settled on the latest LB1 Open Germany ROM as they seem to get updates first, but I haven't changed my CSC to DBT to match yet as it will wipe the phone, but I'm going to once the official ICS launches since I'll wipe for that anyway. Yeah, I doubt it will happen, but with so many people in the US/Can important the "good" GNote that would be awesome if Samsung blessed us with a US ROM! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isriam:
so you suggest the germany rom and csc package? how are the language packs with that? i only want us english if possible lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PorscheGuy:
From what I understand the ROM doesn't really matter as long as it's an OPEN one, meaning it's not locked to a particular carrier. I wanted everything to match so I could get the latest OTA's the quickest, which seemed to be Germany, but now I think I'll probably just flash with ODIN anyway. Not sure about all of the ROMs but my LB1 Open Germany has a HUGE list of languages, one of which being English (US).
[Nook Color General] avi!:
Yes, as an ebook reader NC is heavy right ? I feel it has too much weight and when I am reading my starts paining unless I mount it somewhere. Also I am not able to read in bed.

I was thinking to get a case, so that i might feel less weight since I can hold it with two hands. What do you guys say ?

Whats your suggestions on it ? OR you never feel it is heavy ?
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Why can't you hold the NC w/o the case with two hands?

Reading on bed? yes, it's kind of. NT is lighter.
[Nook Color General] sjmoreno:
Compared to reading on my iPad (heavy) or Viewsonic G-Tablet (really heavy) I don't think the Nook Color is heavy at all. I can read on it for hours while holding it without my hand cramping like it used to when I used my 10 inch devices for reading.
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
A good case can help, but a lot just add bulk or add edges.I don't find it heavy at all, but the NOOK Touch is noticeably a bit lighter. I don't think you'll find a color reader that's much lighter.

If this is a real problem, you might be happier with a NOOK Simple Touch.
[Nook Color General] plasticarmyman:
it's lighter and thinner than the kindle fire too...

out of my 3 e-book readers that i have had (ebookwise.com ereader, velocity micro cruz reader, and my NC) the nook is the lighter one...and as far as i can tell from checking out other e-readers in stores the NC is one of the lightest ones.

*shrug* just my opinion
[Nook Color General] MrColdbird:
Yes its too heavy for my likes.. But the good performance and price / value make it worthwhile.

After all you get the nc for a mere 130$ while stuff like the Aurora cost you about 170$.

[Nook Color General] TheValk:
I find the NookColor to be quite heavy compared to eink readers, but it is certainly not too heavy.
[Nook Color General] FloydF:
I really don't compare the weight of the nook color to other e-readers, that's not what it's replacing. As an e-reader it's replacing those big heaver hardbound books. As a tablet, it's kind of replacing my 7lb notebook.... It also replaces the 6 monster bookshelves in the other room. Try comparing it to an average textbook, and no that tiny paperback lit/poetry text is not average. Try chemistry/biology text that weigh more than my notebook computer.....

It's all subjective, what do you want? Battery life, cpu, memory, screen, os, lower weight, cost... Personally, I think it has a good weight for the specs, and after using the nook color, i could never go back to e-ink, not as it is now. I would love a 5 gram indestructable tablet with 25Ghz processor & 20 gb video with 3year battery, but it doesn't exist yet and certainly not in my price range. :)
[Nook Color General] Anniraff:
Agreed, FloydF. I sell quite a few signed first editions, mail then to buyers: general weights before packing for last half dozen ran from 1.7 to 3.1 lbs. My NC is considerably lighter, even with case. Of course, I still do most of my e-reading on my old and much loved Nook e-inker, that is, when I don't have a 'real' book in hand.Sometimes you just gotta take the weight.
[Nook Color General] IFLATLINEI:
It aint heavy its my Nook Color.
[Nook Color General] avi!:
So am I the only guy who thinks NC is heavier
[Nook Color General] IFLATLINEI:
My GF recommends P90-x. She says in just a few short weeks youll be throwing that nook around like its nothing! Reading with two hands??? Nah not anymore. Youll be reading with one hand for hours. LOOK MOM ONE HAND!
[Nook Color General] d00med:
I have a very large right arm, so I'm good.
[Nook Color General] k8108:
I have a dell streak 7 and my husband has an ipad. I would take the NC any day over those two. Not nearly as heavy. I have a case that looks like a book cover and my NC just snaps in. Very easy to take out the NC when I'm reading, etc.
[Nook Color General] BruceMcF:
As an ereader, its a bit heavy, but if reading laying down on the couch I prop it up on my leg ~ part of the point of an ereader is if you can't read the text at that distance you can change the size of the text instead of just holding it closer.

As a media tablet, its light, but then I naturally have it propped up when watching streaming video.
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
You just need to build your arm up a bit for reading... or whatever.
[Nook Color General] Sam Adams:
I find it very comfortable. I used to fall asleep reading with the light on... now turn I off the lights set my reading apps to white text on black and if I fall asleep it turns off. I usually prop it up on a pillow and read on my side. I have a Roocase Executive leather case which adds a little bulk but a lot of protection (really like being able to zip it up!)... and lots of variations for positioning on a table. NC and case are about the same weight as a hardcover book.
[Nook Color General] avi!:
So with a case, which makes NC like a book cover reduces the weight when holded with two hands like a real book ?

I don't find comfortable holding NC with two hands in Portrait mode.
[Nook Color General] dparrothead1:
If you get a case, you should really consider an easel style.
[Nook Color General] avi!:
^any link ? perhaps on ebay ?

Thank u :)

Dude, they are, like, 2 bucks at Wally World. Mines made out of wire and all chromy and junk.
[Nook Color General] avi!:
^how I am gonna use that stand with my NC ? :O
[Nook Color General] MISRy:
replace the plate with the nook...
[Nook Color General] avi!:
I don't think it'd make me able to hold NC with two hands & make it more comfortable. Or you confused that I am in need of table stand ? Nope, I am not. And thanks for replying :)
[Nook Color General] MISRy:
Easel style stand. Way cheaper than an easel style case. But yeah I thought you were looking for a table stand.
[Nook Color General] FloydF:
I have 2 stands a portable "Compass stand" I bought from the apple store in Covent Garden, London, and a taller brass easel picture frame stand for my desk. The compass stand was insanely expensive, like 39 pounds (DUH! apple store) but folds very small for travel. Both come in handy if you use a keyboard, or are reading at a desk/table. The biggest problem is the compass stand gets me searched every time I go through airport security, so I may have to look for a plastic one.

As far as weight, I am reminded of my first portable computer, it weighed over 20 pounds and was bigger than many of the desktop computers I have had since. They will improve as quickly as people can afford and are willing to upgrade. As long as they keep the prices down, I will upgrade when there is a significant improvement. I am not buying apple products and getting the next upgrade as soon as it comes out. At those prices I can't afford it and sertainly couldn't justify it to my wife, or myself for that matter.

By the way, I jsut saw the new I-phone 4S (base model) ON SALE for 699 Euro. I am totally amazed anyone will spend that much money on a disposable phone.... What are teses people thinking?
[Nook Color General] rnclock:
I couldn't resist.
[Nook Color General] avi!:
LOL guys suggest me something to reduce its weight, I mean the less-weight feeling
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] c0reyl:
I don't really have a computer. My phone IS my computer. How do I root this thing and install CWM without a computer?

By the way, my atrix has over 1,000 more quadrant scores than the note, WTF?! ? I THOUGHT THIS WAS Samsung's fastest device? This is F-- ing pathetic. My atrix came out before the iPhone 4 over a year and a half ago.. I just got ripped off.... only 2700 quadrant, are you kidding me??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sinful Animosity:
We don't have CWM available yet to us. We do have a modified 3e recovery, which is flashable via Odin. Unfortunately, you need a computer to install the recovery and OC/root kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] c0reyl:
Lame. This phone is so slow :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Synner12:
First, the bootloader on this phone is not locked. Secondly, its a fast phone. My scores were higher than that even before I installed the root/oc kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] c0reyl:
That was the old quadrant probably then. On the old quadrant, my atrix got 5300+ easily. On the new one it gets like 4,000. This thing gets like 2700. What a bunch of crap. The FIRST dual core phone ever made is faster than my new $700 phone.... lawl.

Wtf happened to technology doubling every year and a half? Its supposed to get faster, not slower...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
so you should return it and go back to your atrix if it was so bad ass
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Synner12:
+1

Stole the words right from my fingers...lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Corvette Dave:
Be a little patient. Once the devs have a little more time with this device cooking up some roms and tweaks for it.

If all you are concerned with is your quadrant score you will be disappointed. On all the devices I have had the smoothest and fastest roms had slow quadrant scores.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] c0reyl:
I got this phone for the screen and LTE. I can get past 50mbit speeds in DC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
So then why are you measuring and complaining about quadrant scores....seems the phone is doing what you wanted it to do :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maxjivi05:
Quadrant scores isn't the truth I've noticed this phone is a lot smoother then the atrix and is super fast no lag

sent from AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note Dual Core 1.83 GHz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sinful Animosity:
I don't know how long you've used the atrix, you would notice that no matter which ROM you use, you'll find there's some lag. I've been using this phone for not even 24 hours yet and its noticeably faster than the atrix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] c0reyl:
I had 3d cube transitions everywhere in my interface. Clocked at 1450mhz I had no lag at all. On ICS 4.0.3, it didn't even lag at stock clocks with the heavy interface. Games NEVER LAGGED on the Atrix, even underclocked to 800mhz.

Oh, and ive been using it for a year and a half. The atrix came out before the iphone 4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Synner12:
Clearly you're not happy with your purchase. Just go back to the atrix. Seems pretty simple to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] c0reyl:
An idiot would say that. I love my Note. I sold my atrrix for $150 and bought Alpine door speakers already for my car from that. I'm extremely happy with that.

What I'm pissed off about is that technology isn't getting any better as fast as it should. Moors law is dead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Synner12:
Well...I wish you and your unrealistic expectations the best going forward, sir.

But just in case, here you go...

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] EgoMaximus:
Hey guys,

I am considering switching to WP 7.5 from WM (default ROM) and was wondering, will I see any battery improvements or it will actually drain it faster?

Also, anyone tried Android 4.0? All I care at this moment is battery life and don't mind whether it's WM, Android or WP.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Anden1986:
Hi!

Best batterylife you will get on this device is with WM. Find the right release (some of them have improved power management) and stick to it! You will NOT be able to find better battery-life with Android or WP...

/Anders
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] antonio1475:
That's right. As far as I know, best battery life is with WM6.5. However, I'm really happy about battery life in WP7 (DFT Ultrafruit changing radios and other things). I make more than a day, maybe 2, but being careful about what I do, of course.

:)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] acerate:
Maybe wm6.5 is better.

But I feel wp7 takes better pics.....weird...after taking 240 pictures of a book..the battery from 100 to 13...is this normal or power consuming?BtW,it's standby life can be as long as two days with some general use
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sbhas2k:
Battery life w.r.t various ROMs are as follow

WM 6.5 (Best battery life) >> Android >> WP7 (Worst battery life)

WP7 runs constantly at 998 Mhz (One of the reason for high battery consumption) where as 6.5 and Android can dynamically vary from low CPU consumption to High as required.

Also in WP7 battery life depends on soft radio + hard radio combination.. For good performance with good battery life use 2.15.50.14 Hard radio + 5.50 soft radio.. For best battery life use 2.12 hard radio + 5.50 soft radio..

Trust this clarifies..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pulser84:
Very Low Battery Life...Please help...

Hello friends...

Recently I have installed WM7 to my htc HD2. I found that the battery life is very less.

I have read here that if we use the combination of 2.12 hard radio + 5.50 soft radio.

Please someone tell how to do so....?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
Search the forum my friend, hardware radio is updated via the custom RUU, it does not delete anything.

Software radio needs to be built in to the WP7 ROM before you install it, changing this will mean a loss of everything

Now, whilst battery life is deffinitely less than WM, one thing i can confirm is that its not worse than android, the problem is that it doesnt always charge completely, so for example, it may say its 100% full, but its only half full, so it appears to drain twice as quick, or it might say its empty and its still half full.

It could say anything, for best battery life use an external charger. reboots during the day will help keep it reporting correctly. Tho even then ive noticed that it doesnt always work, some times you need to plug a USB cable in for a moment for it to refresh it.

In short, battery charging and reporting is all over the place, but once you get a full charge it actually lasts quite a long time with very heavy usage.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Fmstrat:
Personally, now that I've found a WP7 ROM that doesn't drain my battery in 5 hours, I don't notice a difference. (I'm now using pdaimatejam, BT on with -3 to -7ma drain in standby, Yay!).

Sure, WM will last longer. Sure Android will last SLIGHTLY longer b/c it doesn't run the CPU full speed when the display is on. And that is a clarifying statement to the above. WP7 does NOT run the CPU full speed all the time, only when not in standby.

Having said that, I get a full, usable day in WP7 with moderate use. I got just over a full, usable day in WM6.5, but I had to charge every night regardless.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] EgoMaximus:
Testing 2.12 now, thanks,

Now sure if estimated battery life is correct, before installing it said 5h, now 2h

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] EgoMaximus:

Is 2.15 better than 2.12 in battery life?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] EgoMaximus:
10h standby (mail sync on) with all the tricks on HD2 2.12, bad :)

Hopefully, Tango will increase battery life.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dxdy:
you can dream.... but none updates for WP7 cant be increase battery life... only can be worse

seems your battery in bad shape or something do wrong... also if you play music few hours, play games, nothing strange if battery not least long...

with radio combination 2.15/5.51 + camera trick, with WiFi on 24 hours at day, my battery working around 30 hours with normal use
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] EgoMaximus:
Hm, well, it said 2h remaining but still holds, another 6 and has battery left... No idea.

I will play with soft/hard roms after Tango is released, as now floashing and losing data for a month or two is pointless :D
