It does have a USB host built in. I've used it for dslr controller and USB thumb drives. I don't recall needing to change things to get it to work. I did get an OTG cable for it. Not sure if the cable type matters or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KosanRio:
Anyone? I really hope my Note isn't defective.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maxh:
Works great for me. I got this cable on ebay for $2.39 shipped (cheapest I could find shipping from US) and it works without having to do anything. I've plugged in flash drives and my logitech vx nano mouse.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KosanRio:
Well I've tried every one of these USB Devices that all work on my computer but can't get them to work with my Note

Sorry, I just noticed I forgot the link. Here it is:

I'd say either your cable's not the right kind, or your phone's defective.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
Works great on mine.

I just got some cheap one off of Amazon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Girt:
Works on mine. ATT phone. Cheap cable off eBay or Amazon.

All I've done is read flash drives. Does not work on SD card reader

The trick may be where you look for the files.

Its in mnt /sdcard /usbstorage

UPDATE .. depends what one is attempting.

Does Not work with a keyboard, for me.

It sees the KB but input does nothing.

Bummer.

Which version of the note are you using?

It appears that some carriers have disabled usb host features.

See usbhost.chainfire.eu and look up your phone model.

I was annoyed to see my rogers phone had the feature disabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] charger08rt:
Any work around to this yet?

My note is also from Rogers, and this was one of the features I was looking forward to.

I flashed to the OnlyOne [ICS] ROM and no luck with my phone (Rogers i717r).

Don't know if it's the cable so I've ordered a new one and hoping the actual phone won't need service (though the usb port seems functional in terms of transmitting data and power).

Can it be something other than the ROM and cable (i.e. kernal, drivers, apk -- I'm talking out of my ass here as I have no idea how these things work).

Thanks for your help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] unidentifier:
Got a new cable and it works with the Only One ICS rom. Another post in the forum suggests all ICS updates should work.
[HTC EVO 3D] TheLeapist:
So I'm trying to use chad's AnthraX-CDMA-AOSP-TEST14 kernel with miui 2.2.17 and everything works perfect except wifi doesn't work. I'm on hboot 1.5. I've tried it flashing with flash image gui, booting recovery through command prompt and flashing it there, and several combinations of the two. I've also tried flashing it immediately after doing a super wipe and flashing the rom. Nothing seems to get it working. Any ideas of how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
if other users with the same kernel are experiencing the same issue, could be something the developer will have to resolve.

regardless, the basic troubleshooting steps you can take start with logcat. i posted some information previous about this here:

after logcat, looking at kernel output in /proc/kmsg would be another place to check for information.

if you want, post back the information you gather and we can troubleshoot from there! hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] TheLeapist:
Thanks. I'm checking this out now. In the mean time I thought I'd mention the fact that the wifi doesn't say "error" like it usually does with a bad kernel. What happens is if I try and enable wifi it says turning on forever and my entire phone starts moving extremely slow, even after I disable the wifi, until I restart. From what I've seen no one else appears to be having this issue with this kernel.

Thanks again for the help.

Hi,

Whenever I use an AOSP ROM (ie; CM 7.1.0) with Doodle Jump, the game stutters really bad when the Doodle thingy guy is jumping off springs and trampolines. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix the stuttering game play with CyanogenMod 7.1 and Doodle Jump? The Sense ROM's don't seem to have this problem as much.

Regards.
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Do you use software like setCPU or a script like vipermod to control your cpu speed and its voltage?
[Desire General] Tsjoklat:
No, and all the "performance" settings are default.

[myTouch 4G General] Bl@ze:
hi guys,

I'm an android no0b ... soon fix that problem though.

anyway here is my situation and question:

Does the phones with the 'Bad Screen Issue' take the same quality pics as the ones with the Good screen

I love to take pics... my old nokia 3.15mb cellphone take great shot, I simply love cellphone that take great pics... but

I might be getting a used a mytouch4g (rooted still on froyo) [decent enough price (well as decent as living in Jamaica goes) ]

and from the first day that I saw the the phone I commented "oh i thought it would be nicer... the screen looks so bland... washed out"

the owner didnt even realize that it look bland, and said that its just looks that way , it doesnt affect the camera/pic quality.

I played around with it for a few minutes... my first experience with an android device... I AM IN LOVE WITH ANDROID NOW. but I still could not get around how bland the screen showed..

he only had it for a week before and didnt have much experience with android either.. he got it from someone b4 ... and all he knew is that its rooted.

I really like this device, and checked around online and was shocked to find out about the 'BAD SCREEN ISSUE' , and first i say some comments where persons said that they first say it after the rooted their device and a some1 even said that the unrooted their phone and the issue went away..

but that to this forum and youtube and realized that is a real hardware issue literally a 'BAD SCREEN' most like TFT vs a SuperLcd issue. ( right ?)

I still purchase it from him, and i said the the price is pretty sweet...

i know only know two person who own the mytouch/glacier and I asked them to send me a sample of pics that they took with their phone... just to compare camera quality. In fat hey did n't even know about the BAD screen issue (fortunately for them their devices are ok) ...

I took some pics with the one that i would be getting and I must say I am disappointed ... the pic when send to my pc looks just as washed out and bland as on the phone screen. i seriously doubted that the screen would affect the camera quality.. i may be wrong though.

I am not considering not to buy it... just because of the bright/washed out screen... but it not likely that i'm getting another decent Android phone for any where near this price again.

So guys I'm asking

.1) Does the phones with the 'Bad Screen Issue' take the same quality pics as the ones with the Good screen

.2) (if the forum allows it) some of your guys with the 'bad screen" phones upload your pics so i and have a better judgement of the camera quality. Prolly the camers secsors are determined by th e screen output (?)

.3) If u think that think that unrooting/rerooting will help the camera issue ( yeah unlikey )

4) If updated the android build / ginger bread or cm7 or so would improve the camera quality.

thanks in advance.
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
You have Resolution turned all the way up?
[myTouch 4G General] Bl@ze:
thanks for the prompt reply...

sadly I can not answer that question, as:

1) I did not check (dont know how to as yet), I am assuming that it at its default setting

2) the phone is not currently in my possession ( prolly not for the next two days) .

once again thanks
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
The menu button (second hard button from the left) will bring up settings. Check Resolution. I've noticed that pictures in lower light aren't too great. Remember though, its a phone with a camera. The camera is, at most, second.
[myTouch 4G General] Bl@ze:
hope fully I can get my hands on it tomorrow...

I am hoping that the camera can be adjusted to take quality pics...

sad if my old nokia kicks the teeth out a glacier
[myTouch 4G General] Snakecharmed:
The LCD panel and the camera picture quality are not related. The good/bad screens basically refer to the two vendors HTC sourced for the MT4G's LCD, with the good one being the Sony S-LCD and the bad one being manufactured by Sharp. The differences between the screens lie in their contrast, color rendering, and off-axis viewing angles. There are some theories that the differences are not actually caused by the screen, but rather by the digitizer, but unless the digitizer was replaced, the screen and digitizer seem to go hand in hand.

The camera on the MT4G simply isn't that good. Unlike the camera for the Amaze, I've never read of an editable image compression setting for the MT4G's camera, so I'm inclined to believe that one doesn't exist.
[myTouch 4G General] Bl@ze:
judging from the pics that my friend took with their good screen phones.. am leaning to agree with u... its no carl zwiess lens but , i expected better from a 5mp flagship device

hopefully i can adjust the camera setting to suit my needs (crosses fingers)

what a waste if it doesnt..
[myTouch 4G General] sunlaw2:
I had two mytouch.

One good.one bad.

I have to say the cm7 camera from tdj's 12/30/11 cm7 Kang took some great pictures.

I tested every camera option available(alot of basketball/baseball games),and for some reason that Kang was the best as far as cameras.

Should it have been different? I do.t know why! Cant explain it!

Those pictures were crisp and clear.

I sure I posted a pic in that thread to check it for sure.right around new years.

Found the picture.posted it above.

On both phones the camera was super bad.

Thats why thr darkside was the best side.
[myTouch 4G General] Snakecharmed:
I was not impressed with the quality of the pictures from the MT4G before it died. The outdoor pictures in daylight still had significant compression artifacts, soft focus, and undersaturation. Not natural saturation. Undersaturation. Blacks weren't black. Indoor pictures with incandescent lighting were just dreadful. Honestly, the picture quality was comparable to my Motorola RAZR2 V9x with an extra three megapixels.
[myTouch 4G General] sunlaw2:
Lol.haha.its a phone.its a 5mp camera.

Not bad for what it is.

When uploading all my photos from my inspire I noticed that even though the correct date the photo was taken is shown in windows, my note always assigns the date the photo was uploaded to the phone (note) as the taken date. This is annoying as I like my photos to be in chronological order. Basically my note thinks I took all 2000 photos today.

Anyone else had issues with this?

How long did you wait? first boot with roms usually take up to 5 mins.

Have you checked the md5 sum of the ROM you downloaded and made sure it matches?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guirae:
try calkulin format all 3x then try odin'ing back to something real old. like a eg30 tar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Probably a corrupted download. Double check the md5 posted in the op and the one you're getting on the file you have. Same **** was happening to me. Downloading roms on the computer fixed that. Just taking a minute or two verifying md5 sums could save lots of time fixing lock ups and force closes or worse.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
to ensure successful flashes, you need to format your system FIRST; THEN, wipe all, wipe cache/wipe dalvik, Run Caulks format all, THEN flash your rom..

Too many people forget to format their system FIRST, and that is the cause of many many bad flashes..

Do this, in the EXACT order, and you won't have any problems
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lcorona056248:
Thanks guys ill start over and try again. let you know if it works. Im working right now soon as I get home I'll give it a go

Since MWC is around the corner and Companies are already making announcements I ranted a bit about MultiCore phones. So like the Title says..

What do You think... Do Phones really need to have 2-4-6-8 cores?

My 2cents

To me the need for even two cores still seems over powered. My big complaint is that manufactures just want to ONE up the competition and add more and more even though it wouldn't be fully utilized by anyone in the foreseeable future.

For example. All these companies are slapping MultiCore phones and adding more ram and they aren't even really optimizing their software for the additional cores. It was android and it finally added MultiCore support with ICS, but companies were and still are releasing phones with 2cores running Froyo, Gingerbread :confused: that won't see ICS ever if not for devoted developers to Port it.

To me you can have the most fancy OS with all the Eye Candy you can think off and have it run off a Single(One) Core Processor just fine with no lag and 768MB of RAM and still have enough left for background apps if you focus on making your software efficient and optimized for that ONE core.

Look at WP7 sure its UI was over simplified, but it runs just fine with ONE core and 512MB of ram. And I've seen some very impressive Games run just fine on those phones. Unrelated to phones but look at how Windows (Desktop) handles RAM. Right now with just Chrome open with two tabs its using up 2GB of ram and this is a clean install. I just formatted my HDD and installed Chrome and updated to SP1 so there is no program prefetched. Ubuntu on this computer with just Chrome open only uses up 256-300MB of RAM because it was optimized for low ram machines. OSX86 SL on this computer only uses about about 300-500MB of ram.

So in the end all these multicore phones are doing is using up battery life to feed all these cores when the software hasn't been optimized for it. Now some processors shut off the additional cores when they aren't needed but even then only Games/apps that are aware of those cores will ever really use them.

Companies as they add more RAM and more cores add along with it bugged down crappy software and that just kills the purpose of all that power.

I just needed to spit this somewhere :D :mad:

I think they needs to focus on the CPU speed rather then cores. I'd rather have a dual core phone running at 3.5ghz then a quad core running at 1.2
[Off-topic] Tachi91:
What I think a company should do is focus on

Software > Battery > CPU/RAM

Because if you make you software RIGHT and perfect it then right from the get go you will notice huge performance with a single dual core processor.

Just imagine HTC sense with the speed of stock ICS on the Gnex or any other phone with Dual Core 1GB ram!

If companies like HTC focused on improving their UI with performance in mind, CPU makers at the same time will evolve and develop better smaller processors and will be cheaper then making a monster out of a phone only to cage it with half as UI's that suck.... Cuz we all know that a Single Core 1Ghz processor from today beats the crap out of a similar spec one from early 2000's

I dislike Apple but i gotta give them credit for focusing on iOS more then the actual iPhone.. If Android makers did the same and improved their crapware we wouldn't call it that.
[Off-topic] SteveG12543:
I heard the multiple cores end up saving battery, especially in regards to the Tegra 3 because it has the companion core to take care of easy tasks like email syncing while the screen is off or whatever. The extra cores kick in when they're needed too, they're not constantly running when there's nothing going on. Most of the time, the extra ones are offline (see screenshots below).
[Off-topic] Harbb:
Do we really need hexacore computers? Even though most software doesn't really benefit from them? The majority of computer games rarely put more than 2 cores to any worthy use, the OS runs quite the same with 2 or 4 cores in general and for the most part only intensive applications even benefit from it at all (photo, video, CAD, 3D and so on). We still get them though, and often enough they don't use excessively more power than the previous generation with smaller, more efficient technology. Also, try running your ubuntu setup with an 800x480 res and a comparatively weak single 1ghz, 512mb shared ram setup. It'll struggle for air.

It is good to move into this realm with phones. Play around with a Galaxy S, then with a Galaxy S 2 - both in their pure touchwiz form. The S 2 simply blows away the original. Virtually no performance hitches throughout any usage you can imagine, and this is just an upgrade from single to dual core. New designs don't use any more power than predecessors, and often save power as described above. 4 active cores when needed (completely shut off when inactive), and a seperate low-power single core when there is something basic? Genius.

I'm all for phones with as many cores as they fit, as long as the designs of tomorrow are like the designs of today. I don't see any reason why they won't be, so what's the harm?

[Off-topic] Zorigo:
For a long time i agreed with you completely, thinking more than two cores was fairly unnecessary, but after having recently looked into Ubuntu for Android and the Webtop application in the motorola atrix, i thought if our phones our powerful enough (4 or so cores), rather than have that power needlessly sitting there have our phones be able to run full desktop OS's. Ubuntu seems like the key candidate here, as i did enjoy my brief stint on there.

So too many cores does seem unnecessary just to one up the competition, but if we use that power to have a phone and desktop computer in one, then i am all for it!
[Off-topic] Harbb:
No, it gets a higher score in a benchmark that literally measures the frequency. I have a Nexus S and no matter how much i OC it doesn't compare to something like an SGS2.

I agree with this entirely. Android, in its current state, is a Phone OS. In time I hope to see it gain many Desktop OS attributes, and right now we can already see Desktop OSes run on the phones. There is no reason to turn Android into one, but more processor power means we can turn our phones into a mini-computer worth using at a whim.

Unlike what seems to have happened with the iPhone 4S, the android dual cores don't guzzle through the battery like no tomorrow. Battery technology in it's current state is also limited. You want more mAh? Buy a bigger battery. Anything else is more often than not just a scam.
