"My smartphone, doesn't matter iOS or Android, gets tweaked until it takes care of every single electronic need of mine."

Where do you get off being,

Okay, now back to beating apple into butter!!!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thinguy:
Been with Apple since 3G, then 4. Also iPad and MBA. I love my Apples.

But i got tired of the same plainness of iOS. And with no sign of a major iOS upgrade on the horizon it's only going to get more dated.

iOS, it's great stable, usable. But it's used by every Grandma and tween you see. It's locked into a certain style you can't change without jailbreaking and jailbreaking sucks resources, stability, and has a 'greasy' 'dirty' feel.

Anyone on the fence with Note. Go play with one for about an hour straight. Then pick up your iPhone. It will feel like a tiny kids toy.

If you're new to Android be patient, it's different, it's powerful, and it has a few rough edges, but you'll love it. Don't jump into rooting and rom'ing. Take it slow. There are plenty of widgets and launchers that you can use to customize your Note without diving into the deep and still rough waters of root/rom.

Get the visual voicemail (vvm) app found in these forums -you may need to call ATT to provision vvm on your account again. . Especially if you started using the ATT messaging app, you can't use both.

kies air is a very handy tool that comes with the phone. It allows you to easily manage items on the phone -see youtube videos.

Doubletwist is also supposed to be good, but haven't used it yet.

If you already use gmail and have a lot of contacts, clean them up in gmail rather than on the phone it's easier. And you can merge your phone/gmail contacts on the phone.

Some recommended apps for iphone users

JuiceDefender Ultimate -helps with battery life

adw launcher

go launcher (and it's add ons)

go sms pro

beautiful widgets

Amazon app store

smooth calendar

tapatalk -great forum access

Dolphin HD browser

Opera browser

Hope this helps, please share your finds, I'm learning too.

Hey guys, switch from IPHONE 4 to the Note here. Is there a way to transfer my contacts from the IP4 to the NOTE?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sailador:
first you need to hook up your iphone to itune..then switch to gmail sync...then sync all your contacts to gmail..once you done that...add gmail account to your Note...then boom..you have all your contacts
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jgonzo432:
What I did was just retype all of my contacts to Google Voice. That way they are always on whichever device I use. And they get synced automatically.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sailador:
one app for you...google voice...it is awesome
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
nice to see iPhone users coming over to Android.

Welcome :-)

I converted almost 2 yrs ago. :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] reup247:
Download the Bump app on each device. It works really well for this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] waltah!:
You can have Visual Voicemail that's very similar through AT&T (if that's the one you have) It's part of the data plan and Customer Care or local store can change it to include VVM. There's no charge or anything, but it just has to be provisioned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ej5:
Thanks. I tried google voice today but for some reason the voicemail greeting message sounded really garbled no matter how many times I recorded it. I ended up going with AT&Ts Messages app. Combines visual voicemail and texts in one place. So far I like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mrandyp69:
Woo

Just sold my iPhone 4S on eBay for 440. Picking up my white Note tomorrow from the ATT store.

CANT WAIT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Install the official AT&T Visual Voicemail app from here:

It works perfectly on my rooted Note! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ej5:
Thanks I ended up just activating AT&T Messages, which was already installed. Gives visual voicemail i was looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
How well-calibrated are the accelerometers in your GNs? Mine seems to be slightly off. Laying the phone down on a level surface, this is the reading I get from GPS Status (which also displays accelerometer data):

The interesting parts are the "Pitch/Roll" numbers and the yellow "blob" at the center of the compass. The pitch being a bit off (N01 = 1 degree tilt down/forward) can probably be explained by the "hump" on the back of the phone, but the roll being off (V02 = 2 degrees tilt to the left) is a bit more troubling. I have to noticeably tilt the phone to the right to get a 0 degree reading. Ok, so this isn't really a problem in everyday use, since it's a pretty small deviation, but it's a bit annoying to the perfectionist in me. So I would like to know whether this is "normal" or if one should expect a perfectly calibrated accelerometer.

EDIT: Actually, when I turn the phone vertical the left tilt error seems to pretty much double. Also, even though the phone shows close to 0 degrees up/down tilt when level, it doesn't show anything near 90 degrees when held vertical. It's more like 85 degrees, and I have to go way past "zenith" (so the phone's screen is angled slightly toward the floor) for it to show 90 degrees. This means that in apps such as Sky View I have to tilt the phone up a bit to get the horizon vertically centered on the screen.

Are these accelerometers just that inaccurate, or is it just mine?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
Anyone? I would really appreciate some answers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leonironchef:
are there not apps that you can use to "recalibrate" and correct this? With all measurements systems there will be inherent errors due to the hardware, which is why the recalibration comes in, and there are simply too many variables, eg how flat is your flat surface? Is the casing on the phone flat?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
No, there's no way to globally calibrate the accelerometer. You can do it locally in certain apps, but the problem will remain in every other app.

And about the "variables": Of course such things will affect things a bit, but they can't account for all the issues I'm seeing. Not even close.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
Nobody has two minutes to try this out and check what results they get...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yiannisthegreek:
This is another feature of my SGSII that I LOVE and miss on my GNEX (thank GOD I still have my SGSII).

On the SGSII under Settings there is the ability to calibrate your Accelerometer and the Gyro as well. Why they did not incorporate that into the GNEX I dont know. Maybe there is a Dev that can port the settings over?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
Yeah, it seems like such an obvious thing to include on the OS level, since these accelerometers clearly aren't always perfect out of the box (I've read about several people who have similar issues with their GNexuses).

How is the one in your phone? Do you experience any of the problems I'm describing?
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I just got around to downloading the speed test app to see how fast me x2 is and after the first test here is what I got:

Ping:19ms

Down:4989kbps

Up:703kbps

Now I dont know much but something tells me that up speed is a little low.

Im on cm7 with the Mash up script and wifi on.

Will the numbers be different if Im on 3G? Are these numbers even remotely good?

Many thanks to all!!
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
Apps aren't always accurate. I'm not sure what you meant will it be different if I'm on 3G? Wifi and 3G will always differ, wifi is much faster depending on your provider, where 3g can lag at times

On 3g I usually hit 3d and 1 up

Where wifi I'm like 25 down 8 up out there about.

:) SMILE :) It's Not Illegal Yet :)
[Motorola Droid X2] g0thm0g:
Your ping time and up/down speeds can vary even when connected to the same tower or wifi network depending the congestion at any given time on the bandwidth provider's network, among other factors.

Your seemingly low upload speed could be attributed to other devices on the wifi network using the upload bandwidth allotted by the isp at the time you performed the speed test. It may also be the case the connection supplying the wifi network is 6Mbps down/1Mbps up. Your upload and download speeds while on wifi can only be as good as the connection from the isp regardless of the settings on your device or how many other devices are on the network.

For what it's worth, I have a Verizon 3G Network Extender plugged into my wireless router, meaning that both my WiFi and the Network Extender can only supply a connection that at best is only as fast as my cable modem's connection to Comcast. Eliminating all conflicting variables (e.g. no other devices on the network when running tests), my Droid X2's 3G upload and download speeds are consistently slower than when I'm on wifi.

19ms is a pretty good ping time, btw.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Lots of useful info. Thanks guys!
[Motorola Droid X2] MunkinDrunky:
I have also been curious and suspicious of my 3g data speeds. When I was stock and rooted with 2.3.4 I would get on average 20-30 kilobytes/sec in my house with a poorer signnal of -87dbm this is using speed test and checking the down up speeds with the mobile network app that puts the speeds up on the notification bar. I used that to monitor downloads and web browsing speeds which agreed well with speed test. In a good coverage area -67dbm I achieved pretty consistently 130-230 kilobytes/sec. I am now running eclipse 2.0.4 with CMDA build.prop edit to increase 3g speeds. I ve only noticed a doubling of speed when in -87dbma area nut otherwise I cannot achieve anyhigher than 300 kilobytes/sec. I wonder could my radio be weak or bad? I thought 3g speeds would but up to ~500 or greater in really good coverage areas.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I never considered radio quality when I looked at my speeds. Exactly how one would go about checking ones radio quality is far beyond me. Its definitely something worth exploring (in my opinion)
[Motorola Droid X2] MunkinDrunky:
Right I would also need to test other 3g speeds on a different phone on the same networko in the same area to rule out network end probs. Plus I got my DROID x2 used so that might be it there. Also if the radio heats up from persistent use that might reduce efficiency and lower speeds.
[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
Those are fairly decent speeds. For a mobile device, that's about what I would expect. Your ping, 19ms, means that it takes .019 second to reach from your device to the Verizon servers, then to the servers of the sites you are accessing, and then finally back to your phone. Anything less than 80ms is considered good, so you have an excellent ping.

And to clarify, your upload speed will never be as high as your download speed. It's a throttling mechanism used by all (and I do mean all) internet providers of any kind to prevent things like hogging their bandwidth with torrents and the like. It's essentially an industry standard.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rha_december:
I installed Juice Defender on an HTC Sensation 4G running the Virtuous Inquisition rom, and now it constantly reboots my phone after being on the homescreen for a few seconds. Is there a way to remove Juice Defender?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aroni125:
Does it crash on the lock screen? If not, and if you have debugging enabled:

(Windows)

1. adb shell

(ADB)

2. su

3. cd /data/app

4. ls

5. rm {filename of Juice Defender apk}

6. exit

If you have debugging disabled:

(Device)

1. Enter into the recovery mode

(Windows)

2. adb shell

3. su

4. mount -r -w /data

5. Follow steps 3-6 in the debugging enabled steps.

(Device)

6. Exit recovery mode.

Hope those methods work.

Can someone post a stock battery mod in a flashable zip file for check rom v4 LA4

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreekDirt:
Does anyone have a link to the stock firmware and kernel of UHKE2 (the Trinidad and Tobago version)? I bought this phone factory unlocked and that is the version it came with. It has worked great all around the world. I am selling it to move over to the Note and would like to put the original firmware back on it.

I can't get the links in intratech's thread to work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Sammobile.com
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreekDirt:
The ones they have are for Chile. Claro and Telefonica carriers. I have been there already.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
In that case, you're probably boned.

Ask in Intratech's thread & might have a copy (unlikely, but worth as shot). You might be able to get the latest (not the original firmware that your phone came with, unless the latest is that) firmware available for your phone/carrier/country with Checkfus (PC version). Do a search for it on here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreekDirt:
I used Checkfus on my phone, but will try it on the PC the next time I am near one.

I guess technically I could use any generic firmware.

The person I am selling the phone to is really not capable of maintaining a customized phone so I need to ensure that they can use Kies to restore to stock when things head south.
[EVO 4G General] jeffbud98:
i know there are other threads about this but those are outdated but can somebody here please provide me with a copy of their default sense launcher
[EVO 4G General] roids87:
If you uninstalled it, you could just reflash the rom without wiping anything. I'm also pretty sure the launchers are different between sense 1.0, 2.1, 3.0, and 3.5. Don't quote me on that, as I haven't ran a sense rom in months.
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You're right, Rosie is even slightly different on different versions of stock even tho they are 1.0 there are minor changes that could cause problems best bet is to wipe cache and dalvik and flash the rom on top of itself to get Rosie back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
I just bought a new SGSII and I'm finding the storage mounts a bit strange. I'm seeing that there is a "usb storage" on the phone as well as the external SD storage. However, it is not allowing me to "Move to SD Card" for the phone's storage and requiring me to use my (slower) external SD card. I've tried to use the ADB "pm setInstallLocation" command to force it internal, but that doesn't seem to work either. Is there any way to use the USB storage on the phone for "app 2 sd"?

Thanks,

Craig
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Did you read the FAQ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
I did (before I rooted), but even reviewing again now I'm not seeing anything relative to this. What am I missing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
That there's no benefit to moving apps to the external SD with this phone's file system and amount of built-in storage. Save the ext_SD for your data, movie and music files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
I didn't see that. However, I'm confused by this. I was not being allowed to reinstall some of the apps I had installed on my Captivate since I was out of space. Move to SD cleared up space so that I could finish restoring my apps.

I wonder if something is not set up quite right on my device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Which app are you trying to move?

Everything should be installed on your phone automatically unless you change it to your card. Unless a Rom you are using has it set differently, I think ShoStock has an option to do that automatically.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
I don't think I was entirely clear in my question. My device has:

1) Internal Phone Storage

2) Internal "USB" Phone Storage

3) External SD Card Storage

By default, applications are installed to #1 which is a smaller partition and bound to fill up. If I chose "Move to SD Card", it automatically goes to #3 and yet I want to put it on #2 and I'm not allowed to do that. If I pull out my external SD card, those applications will disappear. I'd like to be able to have "Move to SD Card" use #2 instead of #3, as that storage is not removable and will also (theoretically) be faster.

This is how it worked on my Captivate (both stock and Cyanogenmod), so I'm very confused about what is going on with this and I'd really like to change things up to work as I'd like.

Thanks for insights,

Craig
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
The Captivate uses a different file system and mounting system than the SGSII. You would be better off to redownload the apps from the Market, then restore just the data for those apps. I had major problem with restoring my Captivate TiBU backup to my SGSII until I did this. Your problem is that the apps that were installed to the SD card on the Cappy do not have the same corresponding place on the SGSII. Trust me, reinstalling from the Market and then restoring the data is the best bet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
That is exactly what I did. However, it still does not change the fact that I'm not allowed to use internal SD storage when I move applications.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Considering that the internal USB storage is not an actual SD card, the App to SD function is working properly. The SGSII considers that to be extended system storage, not an actual SD card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
What is extended system storage supposed to be used for? This is new to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
User generated data like photos, music, videos, downloads. Just not apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
OK. Thanks. I guess I'm not thrilled with the way this is being done now, but it sounds like I don't have much of a choice on top of stock ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
How many other phones give you 32gb of internal storage separate from RAM and the option to add another 32gb externally? Be happy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
Sorry... Didn't mean to sound completely unhappy... Just forces me to re-think my use of storage... To some extent it may actually *reverse* my previous use of storage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
No worries. I came to Android from years with WinMo devices. This is my 2nd Android phone and it always takes a little while to adjust.:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
This is my second Android phone as well.... along with multiple ROMs on the last phone. Which is why I'm always amazed at the number of different ways these things get partitioned.
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
I want to see if my recent power button issues are related to the most recent firmware update for the phone vs an actual hardware issue. This only started happening after I updated, so if I can go back to a previous version I'd love to try that before exchanging the phone.

And when I say firmware I mean PRI, not the baseband/radio

FAQs

Q) Will an offline speech engine be built in?

A) I hope so. I'm waiting to see what features of Google Now are made available to developers

Q) What languages will it be available in?

A) At first, English only. Once I have the framework functioning correctly, I can turn my attention to translations (thank you for the messages I’ve received offering translation help).

Q) Will it use natural speech recognition?

A) Over time it will, but in the testing stages commands will be more structured. As my algorithms develop, so will the application's ability to recognise exactly what you want.

For the conversation mode I’m really up against it. I’m almost trying to reinvent the wheel knowing that Google are no doubt sitting on a very advanced algorithm purposely for this… They are more than welcome to allow me to use it…

Q) How much is utter! going to cost when it’s out of beta?

A) I don’t know as yet. Not more than a couple of dollars... I just need to make sure that whatever the price, it's more than worth it.

Q) Which speech engine does it use?

A) In the video I used IVONA beta (available on the Market here). This option is configurable so you can use a free or premium engine of your choice.

Q) Google’s Project Majel will no doubt surpass this application. Why are you bothering?

A) Perhaps.. It remains to be seen the direction Google take and whether their focus will be too much in the interest of nudging you towards Google services, rather than providing an open and configurable voice integrated assistant.

For example: If you assign ‘Save Battery’ to a command, on detection utter! could go ahead and minimise your brightness level and screen time-out, turn off (or restrict) all data connections, set your device to GSM only, turn off vibrate functions and screen animations, underclock and undervolt your CPU (requires root) etc etc.. Is that what you expect from Majel? Personally, I don’t… [Update - I think I was right about this!]

Q) How do I register to beta test!?

A) Hang around this thread – thank you.

Q) The icon you used in the video for utter! was lame!

A) Yes! I just borrowed the inbuilt icon for now. If you think you can design a better one, please feel free! Maximum respect (at the very least) from the first post is offered in return!

Q) Can you adapt Siri to do these things please?

A) I honestly have had these requests – I’m afraid that’s not going to be possible now… or in the near/far future /ever…
