Thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valdeck:
I recently purchased a Galaxy Note (Unlocked) and am loving the device. I was reading online that there was a newer open european firmware (LA3) but was perplexed as my phone was saying there are no upgrades for it. I installed Kies (the UK version) and it updated it's self to 2.2 yet it still does not show any newer firmware than what is on my phone (KKA).

Is there a way to force Kies to let me update? or am I missing a step (I never did create a samsung account).

Thank you in advance...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowayback:
Hi there,

I also recently purchased a Note, and have been spending FAAAR tooo much time lurking on this forum trying to work out whats what with rooting/roming and all things GNote.

Fairly new to all this android malarky and tbh i'm kinda just responding to your question as a way to clarify what, i have, thus far, gleaned from by lurksome xda ways! And as an attempt to stop lurking so much and try and give back some of the understanding xda has given me.

Your question is something I was also rather confused by, but from what I understand - It seems that Samsung rolls out OTA and Kies updates to phones with different CSC codes at different times.

I think it is only the German (DBT) phone which has had the latest LB1 update. I know that my XEU phone is also still on KKA, with no ota or kies updates available.

From what I understand, the way one gets the updates without rooting is through flashing them with a Windows app called PC Odin with the phone in download mode.

Or via rooting your KKA rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

and then flashing the updated firmware with either Mobile Odin or Clockwork Mod.

In all cases I believe you must download the firmware from either the sammobile site or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

If any (or all!) of that is totally wrong - please someone with greater experience wade in and put me straight, but I just thought that seeing as no-one else had responded - i'd try and make something of all the hrs i've spent lurking on here since i got this phone :)

Anyhow I'm sure if you just follow the links i've posted to the brilliant work of Dr Ketan - you won't go far wrong :)

Personally, I've not actually put any of this to the test yet - wanna make sure I really do know my arse from my elbow or in this case - my dalvik from my build.prop before I go messing with a £500 phone....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valdeck:
I appreciate the help :) to answer your question you are in part correct (from what I can gather). Samsung does issue updates based on CSC codes and there is nothing for the UK CSC code. However they also release what is called open updates. Meaning any carrier in a given country can use a open update for that country. Beyond that they release what is called open European updates that any unlocked phone in Europe can use.

My question is the latest open European update is LXA or LLA or something like that which is farther along than the KK5 I am on. Since it is open European I should be able to update to it I would think. There could be something to the fact that the UK is considered part of the EU so it might not fall under even an open European release and if that is the case than so be it.

I am just trying to find out why my unlocked international version of the note can not seem to update to the latest open European update :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowayback:
Ok, so from the sounds of it - i think your definitely better informed than me on Samsung update protocol :)

Haven't heard any of that before. I was under the impression that the XEU code was the unlocked open euro code....

Anyway, just thought i'd let u know that i took the plunge today - deciding that I trusted XDA more than Samsung to update my phone :)

Rooted my stock KKA rom using dr ketans posts as my guide, then flashed the stock LB1 firmware and have since flashed Franco's kernel.....all seems well so far :)

Although one thing i did notice is that my Antutu score was significantly lower after flashing Lb1, but before flashing Franco's kernel (haven't tested since)....

Anyway good luck waiting for an official update - in my limited experience - I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for OEM's to issue OTA updates...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spo0f:
This is cool. But how to find whether my phone is locked or not?

And what about if we try to involve the Samsung support on this question? I'm also stuck with kk5 and i'm also in Europe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valdeck:
If you want to know what region your phone is from plug it into the computer after you have installed samsung kies. Once you do if you look at the screen for your phone you will see three sets of letters and numbers. The last one in the string will have your CSC once you get that do a google for where it is from.

If you are on kk5 like me then you probably have a UK code.

An phone is unlocked by default when you import it from Europe as they use a different model for cell carriers than we do in the states.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinormy:
The simple way to get the latest updates is....change your CSC with *#272*imei# in the dialer pad to the lastest update ( csc)! You don't need root or odin or mobile odin. Just change your country code. This will wipe your phone...but after restart you will get a promt to update your software as soo. As wou are connected to a wifi. There are many post about it...the csc change is described in sgs2 foruns and all over the net. About the country code, please visit sammobile.com and in firmware section you will find detailed info about those codes.

P.S. My note was originaly in XEH ( open Hungary), I'm from Romania so I changed my CSC to Open Germay (DBT-debitel) and after restart i got 2 consecutive updates.

Hope to help, sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
The easiest way to get updates is via XDA. Download PC Odin, and choose whatever Rom you fancy from the first sticky thread in Note development.

[HTC EVO 3D] zbergmark:
How do I do that?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
With root explorer, move it to system/app and change permissions.

Or you can use es file explorer, its free

I think you'll need to rename your current launcher. Add .bak to it.
[HTC EVO 3D] zbergmark:
Thanks for the suggestion, it still shows up in the task manager, another question how do I get ADW to boot with a theme8
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
if you install as a system app (perms 644) and set as default, then edit you build.prop with this line:

RO.HOME.APP.ADJ=1

it should hold it in memory. The only other way to do it is set the OOM value to something like -2 (and I can't remember how to do that). Also, pretty sure adw has a setting to "keep home in memory" which should help also.

in theory if you take the module for cifs and add it to the kernel and make sure its initialized in the startup and it should work.

i unfortunately do not remember what the file is you need to add it to for the startup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
I'll start with this then, what kernels are available for stock 4.0.4 ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] petsasj:
You can start from the fact that 4.0.4 source isn't released yet. So all custom (aka non stock kernels) that work for 4.0.4 are based on 4.0.3. Try one of those.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valdeck:
I have a concern about my S Pen. I bought the unlocked version and love it but I have been looking at some of the various art done by others and am worried there might be a issue with my pen or digitizer.

In a lot of the art done by others I see smooth very fine lines or even shading but on my note when I simply touch the screen with the pen it will interact with it but not draw a line. If I want to draw a line for some reason I have to put a little pressure on it and then it will start drawing. From what I can tell that might be part of the pressure levels in the wacom pen but it concerns me as if I am only using light amounts of pressure often times my lines will stop as if I took my pen off the screen but I never did...

Is this standard behavior that I need to adjust to or is this a issue I need to do a exchange on?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sramie:
it is normal
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Featherbeard:
What app(s) have you been trying? I've noticed that the Smemo app can be a little finicky with pressure, but the Hello Color pencil app from the Samsung store is MUCH better about pressure sensitivity strangely, giving me the ability to do much lighter lines with more control.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valdeck:
Mostly the S Memo app and the Writing to Text thing. I should try that from the market. If I recall the annotate pdf app that I down loaded did a pretty good job with consistency but was a bit laggy to start the line initially.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valdeck:
I am ok with it as long as it is normal I just did not want to have a hardware issue with the phone its self

[About XDA developers] Murmur95:
I find that looking though android roms is often a pain with this site I think there can be a lot of improvements to certain forms (for software, rom development etc) that will enable users to see content easier and find what they want.

1) Posts to a thread does not bump it. This will let you see the newest roms on top and stop necroposts

2) Devs can update their post (bump it) when they release a new version

3) Enable better filters that will sort out specific roms / versions. This will let you just find roms of one version number (ex 2.3.6 / 4.0.3 / JVS)

4) Allow better sorting, You can make sort filters with most views, most replies, highest voted, highest weighted voted, last posted date ...etc

---

Having an improved voting system would also help to know why people voted the way they did by leaving a comment or see the stats without needing to go into a post.

Any feedback would be great and I would like to thank everyone who has helped XDA become great.

Hey dudes,

i took my x8 after a while out of dust and i flashed the nAa-11. So i want to flash a new rom (ICS), but every file that i copy to my sd card looks like corrupt. There is always an error with (bad) in it.

And yes i downloaded the rom 4 times and its the same though.

But theres another problem, i flashed the nAa kernel new because i thought it was a problem there, now my x8 only goes black. (At the moment on stock to get SMS )

Does anyone has an idea to solve my problems?

I try to download miui so i will see if its ok.
[XPERIA X8 General] B.Jay:
Hi exebreez

Try this:

- Backup the data on your mSD to your computer (i.e. put the card into a mSD adapter).

You get any errors in Windows about "File can't be read"?

If not...

- Format the mSD FAT32 in Windows (NO QUICK FORMAT!)

Format went through without errors?

If yes...

- Copy the data back onto the mSD

Windows coughed up any errors like "Failure while writing to drive x:"?

If not...

- Put the card back into your phone and turn it on.

- Connect the phone in USB-Storage mode to your computer

- Copy the update ZIP you would want to flash

- Pull a md5sum of the file on your computer and pull a md5sum of the file on your phone (the USB mass storage drive).

Use this free utility to perform the job.

Do the md5sum's match or not?

The official samsung info on the new android version 4.0 is that it is due for release on the Sg2 tab 10.1 and tab 8.9 and tab plus and tab 7.7 in Q2.

Knowing them it will mean towards the end of Q2 so my best guess would be June from past experience.

Another news article is suggesting that ICS roll-out for SGS2 phone may happen from 1 March. They also say that a schedule hasn't been announced by Samsung for the tablets.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Ciddy:
I'm looking at getting a Galaxy Tab 7.7, as I'm quite bummed out by the Transformer Prime and the GT 7.7 is much more portable. I was shocked at the Prime's lagginess when I got it, it was still running HC 3.2.

Then the update to ICS came.

I have in the whole 25 years I'm into computers not ONCE seen such a dramatic increase in performance as with the switch from HC to ICS. ICS is not flawless however, probably one of the reasons it takes the manuifacturers forever to port it. And the Prime has it's issues, Asus is testing out like the fifth beta update now and nothing seems to resolve reboot or battery drain or screen flicker issues on some devices.

Hope ICS for the GT 7.7 will be out soon to make my decision.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RipplingHurst:
Of course, I have no insurance. I have half my devices insured, but since I dropped my iPhone 4 on concrete so many times and went on two years with no claims, I decided to take a risk this time. Bad decision.

Oh Samsung. Haven't you bonded the display panel to the glass? I'd rather have to replace the glass (simple affair sometimes) than the display itself (I'm expecting around $250, when it's available).

You can see the damage under the glass, on the top right corner (where I think the phone fell first). The glass is intact. Phone doens't have A SINGLE SCRATCH. Nothing, nada. The case is just barely scratched, and although it's precisely where the elago has an opening, the metal band behind it is mint.

However after a brief greening tint when I could see it's still responding to touch, I went to settings blindly, etc. It answers call, lock and unlock fine. Just the display under the glass is chattered, you can clearly see if you look at the right spot/angle (about 1/2 in long).

It fell from, what 3ft?. It's my laundry room. I was coming from the garage with groceries, dropped the phone over the counter, I turn around and it fell. Using the thin elago case (the same type used on my iPhone4).

Oh man. Waiting on a display to show on ebay and I'll do the replacement myself. Nothing for the i717 yet. Suggestions welcome (other than use an otterbox case (are you f*ing kidding me?) or buy insurance next time (I know that and I take full responsibility for it), re: repair shop, dealers, etc.

I mean are there any other options? Should I take to the AT&T store/Samsung and claim it should have survived such a fall? Looks like a lot of Samsung devices are prone to break behind the gorilla glass, so maybe they know about it and they don't care.
