Hey all. Good that we have thread for pinoys. Sweet.

I'm from Cebu and got the Note for almost a month already, from smart postpaid plan.

Hey Ryan sup?

Hello guys!

By the way, if you are experimenting with phone modems, the best modem for the Philippines is the XXLB1 (got around 5mbps speeds on Makati area) and the XXLA3. however, I am experiencing some troubles with XXLA3 such as losing the ability to send and receive text messages from time to time.

I am using RocketRom v22. XXLA4 comes by default on RocketRom and so far it's not giving me good speeds.

If you have other tests, share it here. :D

Thanks for the referral. I just found out locally I can choose between them, Red Pocket, and H20 Wireless as prepaid carriers who use At$t networks.

Since Straight Talk uses AT&T's network (since it is an AT&T MVNO), does YouTube HQ 720p video stream fast enough on the International GNote without stuttering?

Hi guys. Not showing love on my note. Still busy with ICS on my tablet. Hopefully we can have custom ics soon. Just wanted to say hi.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jermitano:
ive been reading a lot on the thread, just observed a that the roving and continual topic is about screen res problems...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] access.denied:
Yup no stutter. I just watched the Despicable Me 2 trailer in HD and played fine.

Although it did not fill the whole screen but maybe that is how the video was made.

I can further test if you have a link to a youtube video in 720p.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] access.denied:
Hi Ryan,

You're right. Red Pocket and H2O are good choices but be aware that none of their data plans are advertised as unlimited. If you do a lot of web streaming and downloads, Straight Talk maybe better IMO. ;)

Another SIM carrier I'm looking into is Simple Mobile. They have an $40 unlimited data, talk and text but maxes out @3G speeds. Not sure if its worth saving $5 since I know the ST plan can go faster than 3G on the GNote.

thanks for the feeds guys...having a hard time looking for custom enthusiasts here in our country...my head hurts a lot from people uber whining about their screen issues ( i wouldnt tell who but i guess the dude has the same problems posted here)...my best guess about that problem is that its more software related and yeah the pentile matrix screen as well...keep em posted sirs...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emignatius:
I am pretty sure IT IS software related because I didn't have that issue when I first got my note but saw it immediately(first thing I thought I'd look for) after OTA a month later of owning the device. Besides it doesn't really bother me that much as my phone's still main functions are to send text messages and take/receive phone calls.

Had the same problem. Go to your dialer and put in *#*#1575#*#*. This should take you to a GPS Service menu. If you check your status it may be disabled. You can enable it by selecting the 2nd option and then select enable. Should now work after a reboot.

the pouch is great but i have a not so good experienced with it. a friend of mine happened to use one during 6xxx nokia era. he pocketed it and brought it out when it rang. smelled horrible.

he threw it away. that's the pouch that comes w/ orig oakley. he's rich anyway so got a new one but specifically keeping his precious oakley and no longer used for phones.

sorry if this might be of different from jermitano's experience. sorry for OT too :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jermitano:
thats too bad hahaha...just means your friend either doesnt wash his jeans or the pouch itself...:p

seriously a whole bunch of my friends and some acquaintances use this method and i havent heard anyone experience that...no offence i guess its more of a personal problem for your friend if his pouch stunk :D anyways to each is own...

CM9 RC1 flash instructions

Hi guys,

I'm eager to flash the new CM9 RC1. According to CM's wiki,

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note:_Full_Update_Guide

This guide assumes the device is already running

stock Ice Cream Sandwich available from Samsung

. If the Samsung Galaxy Note already has the ClockworkMod Recovery installed, skip this section.​

Is this for real? Sorry for my lack of words to describe it, I'm ecstatic.

So maybe what I'm trying to say is, is this guide OK to follow? Has anyone successfully flashed the CM9 RC1 from the stock ICS, unrooted?

EDIT1

: further clarification: because in the Nightlies thread of CM9, it explicitly says "do not flash from any ICS rom"

Thanks.

EDIT2

: Flash success!! +1 Binary Counter though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ryn888:

Question: is there a way for Contacts to fuse International number format with local? For some reason, SMS doesn't have trouble relating an international format (+63 928 1234567) to its local equivalent (0928 1234567). But receiving calls is a different story. I didn't have this problem with GB, I only encountered this in ICS. I previously had my contact numbers in international format but had to edit many to use the local format because ringtones for individual contacts didn't want to work. One workaround that I find utterly stupid is to save both formats for one contact. I'm hoping there's a better solution because right now, individual ringtones become a hit or miss thing.

i tried it with the hard disk.. and a usb stick on ntfs.. they don't work. either it's the filesystem or the external disk requires more juice/power to run than what the note gives it.

intermittent data connection

just got my dataplan bundled GNote from SMART.

anyone experiencing intermittent data connection?

another question:

Does your GNote easily heat up like playing games or charging?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JoshuaTumanda:

Testing speeds, I get 4-5 downlink and 1.5-2 uplink anywhere.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GNote_ph_user:
Thanks for the feedback. I'm thinking of having one installed instead of my other oleophobic protector which easily gets scratched by our s-pens.

Is it true that the adhesive doesn't hold well over time? I've heard several complaints about it.

I'm ok with the thickness for as long as it doesn't scratch as compared to the oleophobic.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GNote_ph_user:
As for the matte screen protector, I tried it with my older devices already but like you said, I doesn't give justice to our rich AMOLED display and colors.

I'd recommend you try oleophobic if ever you want clear and anti fingerprint bundled into one.

Then i repeat it again the update of 4.0.4 is gone. It says Theres no new update. Weird right?

I dunno why. But my note is rooted so i think thats the reason why.

I just download DXLR from Sam Firmware and install it thru Odin i change my CSC to Asian to so that kies will recognize my note.

I don't want to root it anymore.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ryn888:
Yes that is Asian Firmware. If you connect your note to Kies and it says Your device is note supported that means its about your CSC.

And if it says This is the latest version. You can update fw from the settings of your phone.

You can download csc changer from Play Store. BUT Be careful of CHANGING your CSC it will wipe your data including contacts or sms all setting back to default.
