[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] CGeyser:
I recently bought this item on impulse and now I'm regretting it. Here's why...

Lets start with the design/design quality

:

The housing is a very poorly constructed plastic and the button is chromed plastic.

The functionality of the unit

:

To turn it on, you have to hold the button. You might as well buy one of those keychain flashlights. At least with those, there's a switch.

The lighting is extremely dim and it emits a blueish light in your photos. (you'll need to get to at least 7 inches to have a decent amount of lighting).

The package contents

:

Crapply made lanyard, warranty card, instructions, adhesive sticker, and the flash light unit.

Pros

:

NONE! Its one of the crappiest accessories ever! If someone gifts this to you, you'll know that he/she really dislikes you.

Cons

:

-Poor quality material.

-Poor quality construction.

-Poor lighting.

-Poor functionality.

Conclusion

:

If you really need a light source for your Hero's camera, then you should really get a nice pen light such as the 4Sevens Preon. You'll get higher lumens and its far more versatile/portable than this crappy ViaTek Cell Flash. Plus, with the Preon, you'll get a correct white balance.

There's a reason why this item was premiered on "As Seen on TV". Most, if not all of the products there are garbage and a waste of resources.

Btw, the pictures of the package and the unit were taken from a Sony MHS-FS3. The pic of the $20 were taken by the Hero. No images have been Photoshopped.

Here's some pics (click images for larger pictures):

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alanhzl:
My prime rebooted in the middle of downloading the .15 OTA, and afterwards when i try updating again, it tells me DMclient has stop and won't go further.

after messing around, i was able to re-download the OTA and successfully updated to .15.

this is what i did. but do it at your own risk

use any file explorer to access your /cache folder

delete the file called dlpkgfile

going into settings -> application

force close DMclient, and clear data.

re boot, and try checking new firmware again, it will re-download the firmware.

using this method may also enable you to get around the 3 postpone then mandatory update, but i have not confirmed if it does or not. please let me know if you can confirm.

I see that all of finnish saunalahti users have had a working mobiledata connection, well I have not. When I install ICS, I have no APN-data. When I restart/reboot device the APN-data appears in settings, but I haven't had a working mobile data connection at any times. I use roaming of course. Could someone tell me what am I doing wrong?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sanpsa:
Hard to tell. I have done few fresh installs and it takes like 5 mins to phone to ask for pin for the first boot. Some early post said that better to leave the phone be before it asks for pin. So after i have done the first boot settings after fresh install, I leave the phone be and do nothing before i see in the lock screen that it has loaded the apn settings and no pin has yet been entered.

Cant think that makes so big difference, but for me everything works fine, never lost apns...

This problem is quite interesting since I haven't had a single problem with mobile data connection and I've used all the versions starting from version 1.1. Could the problem be related to a sim card? Mine is about six years old.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefenatefun:
Hello all,

I have a rooted HTC Droid Incredible with the latest version of the Stock+ ROM, and I personally dislike the green overscroll. I am wondering if there is a way to change it to, say, red; green goes good with the Sense UI, but it doesn't compliment the phone like red does. Aside from that, I'm wondering if there's a way to possibly add an overscroll action that Samsung phones include. I know that CyanogenMod does all this, but the blue theme doesn't appeal to me.

I've read many other threads about re-coloring the overscroll, but all I get in return is UOT Kitchen, which never seems to work.

If anyone could help out with this it'd be greatly appreciated.

Stefen S.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] ZeNiTH456:
I'm not rooted and updated to ICS this morning. Brought my transformer to work with me since I was excited and was tethering to my phone via ad-hoc fine. I then decided to do a factory reset to clear up the tablet and do some optimization. Next thing you know I can no longer tether to my phone so now I'm stuck without wifi.

My tether network shows up in the available wifi list but when I try to connect it just saves the network but not connect. Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] miketoasty:
There is no reason that a factory reset would block it from being able to connect to a ad hoc network. The only thing that I can think of is that you typed the password wrong but like I said there is no reason it shouldn't work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ZeNiTH456:
I didn't set any encryption on the tether network, it's the only way I was able to get tethering working previously.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] miketoasty:
Interesting, maybe reboot your phone? Like I said, I really don't think a factory restore could do anything that would prevent this from happening.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 34Ford:
I was worried about the tethering. The Prime guys lost it with ics and had to root to get it back.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ZeNiTH456:
Yes, I have tried restarting my phone a few times. I was originally using android-wifi-tether 3.1b11 but have also tried barnacle tether, both have the same results. I'm attempting another reset on the transformer now in case I screwed something up on setup. I backed up all my apps before resetting the first time so at least I can install them, but no network access.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yokem55:
Asus had previously fixed ad-hoc in the August OTA, but it looks like the new ICS OTA doesn't have that fix anymore. So, you might try bluetooth pan networking instead. I don't think any amount of factory resets will get your ad-hoc wifi back without actually reverting to a pre ICS install.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ZeNiTH456:
I was able to find a wifi tether profile that allowed me to put my phone into AP mode so it's now working without ad-hoc. Thanks for trying to help :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bob Smith42:
Dude, PdaNet has a (new) version for ICS for free. It does bluetooth and more. You might want to check out. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] miketoasty:
Just fired up wireless tether, connected to it and browsed the web with no problems.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tone83:
What did you end up using? The same exact thing happened to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TomTcom:
I came from Revolver. After the ICS update my tether had no issues. I use the app WiFi Tether.

The only thing I noticed is that ICS does not gracefully disconnect after I shut tether off. In fact, the wireless rings for signal indicator grey out but are all still present. After a while, I turned the tether app back on and had to dicsonnect/reconnect wifi on the tab. There was a message like something about "continued poor signal". After the standard off/on of wifi all was good.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tone83:
Thanks, thats what I was using but I had a really old version. I guess I should update my apps more.

The problem had been described everywhere with no solution. The only way the echo is off, if the phone is on mute.

And yes, Noise Reduction does not help much either.

I can reproduce the issue with Skype, Viber and any other application as well. So this is not Phone app related. Phone calls are just not possible on this phone if you don't have a handsfree for me.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Y does i believe this b'coz note have extra mic on top, so if call volume high, that mic caches some voice of caller from nearby speaker.

So check by closing mic on top, n try if there is echo or not. if not, that cud b the only reason.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetables:
i got the same problem but .. the solution is to deactivate / disable noise reduction from settings while the call is running

so is there an app that would make "NR" OFF by default ?

hope some one can help us :/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fawaad:
It does help a little but one can still hear the echo.

I also noticed if I press the speaker area at the back of the cover and press it tightly, the echo is almost gone. I think there must be a software fix for it in later builds of Galaxy Note.

Right now I'm on JPKK2 build from UAE. I'm not sure applying non-direct rootable rom would make me lose my root. Probably the newere roms don't have the Echo issue as bad as in the previous ones.

I have had the echo problem since i bought the phone in december. I have found no good solution, but so far my experience is that turning noice reduction off helps and removing back case cover helps. It has been delivered to a service centre and they just replaced the main motherboard which had no help at all. I tried to replace the back case cover delivered by the phone with another back case with a flipover cover. It didnt help at all. I read that someone had success in using a metal back case, but with consequence that the wlan sensibility was reduced. However I am looking for a cover that is slightly stiffer or harder just to see if that helps.

Ok guys, my echo is fixed now. Finally (well hopefully) :P

Basically I followed the method behind Galaxy S 2 issue although the placement of NC Mic rubber and Speaker is different in Galaxy Note. I didn't find the NC Mic to be losely placed but I fiddled with it a little bit, pressed it as well, as you can't do much with it.

I tested a call and it felt as if the issue was resolved by it. However I went on and placed the business card (thinnest I could find) on the speaker in case and saved myself from the reopening ritual.

I followed the guide from http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Samsung_GT-N7000_GT-N7000L_Galaxy_Note_service_manual, ultimately taking you to

Finally It's Solved

Dear All,

am the one who Started this post and the good news you can solve this issue for ever.

How it was figured out? i had a Samsung galaxy S2 which was working fine without any echo issues, which i bought it brand new in Box & never been opened,

I sold it to a friend of mine, which 10 days ago he opened the whole back cover of the phone by removing the Screws and taking it out of it's cover,

The Big Secret and surprise is that he found the Upper Microphone it's pins are not connected by default from the Factory!!!

Ok, guess what Seems that Samsung have been detected by Samsung and they never said anything about it, Conclusion is that Samsung in later devices have removed the connectivity for the upper microphone in newer shipments.

The TEST:

1- we connected the Samsung Galaxy SII upper mic

yes as expected a huge annoying echo when in Call.

2- I opened my Samsung Galaxy Note and it was a bit hard to get to the microphone connecters so i gently pulled it up and placed a very small (A4) piece of paper between the Copper connecters of the Microphone, repacked my Galaxy Note & guess what, the Echo is Gone forever :)

So all you need to do is do as i did for your Galaxy Note and you are done,

I want to note that i tired everything which i read on XDA and nothing worked,

- Getting a new Sim Card from Operator - Never worked.

- Opening the phone as instructed and placing a small piece of paper, business card, rubber - Never Worked!!!

For those who are concerned that the upper mic is used for Recording Videos Voice, it's not true, i made video recordings and it's working very very well.

please reffer and search google for manuals on how to open your Galaxy Note or Samsung Galaxy S2,

It's been more than 10 days and all people i used to talk with using my note have noticed that the echo is gone

Am very happy with this and happy more to post how i solved it,

Good luck for you all,

Regards :)
