I don't want to sound like I'm bashing at anyone or anything...but,

First off, the sole reason for donating DEV's is to show them your support. Tarroyo's reply kind of gave me a chuckle, I wasn't expecting such a reply at an XDA-like board.

That said, one of the reasons HTC will not release an update to the DZ is the fact it'll be plenty more work because they'd have to write several code for functions unique to our device, like the Hardware Keyboard. Devices such as the DHD (which are FLAGSHIP by the way) don't have this kind of work and building ICS for it would be less effort, hence less work, hence more time to focus on something else for the HTC DEV's. Even so, doing all of this isn't really hard for them, nor all that time consuming either...which takes us to the second reason why they won't build it, and that is because, for them, it's just not worth it. This has been said DOZENS of times, yet people still go like "petition this, petition that, change!". No change, no Official ICS. CM9, Andromadus, Quattro (and latter ROM's) will be more than enough. Besides, it has ALSO been mentioned that the DHD and DS have almost identical hardware, hence we will have no issue in getting OFFICIAL drivers.

Bottom line/ TL;DR is, we are not going to get official ICS for the DZ; ICS ROM's here will do; and this is almost a dead device as far as HTC is concerned.

By definition, any added worthless crap that slows it down (perhaps not quite as much as older versions) is BLOAT.

NOT INTERESTED.

In the VERY short term, perhaps.

In the long term, it will cripple them.

What we need is to filter the kernel out of the kernel source and learn how to patch newer kernels to work with this hardware. The sooner we get completely cut off by HTC (hopefully already has happened), the sooner this work will be underway, and the sooner we get a REAL GOOD AOSP system running, completely without crap.

This isn't going to work as much as I'd like it to. To be honest some of the other posters are right. Other devices with identical hardware will get the update. With out current ics roms that's all that's missing. That "smoothness" because we don't have the right drivers. Be patient peeps. It took 2-3 months for the nexus s to get ics to where it is. Its gonna take a wee bit longer for us. (Not for me. Getting a gs2 next week )
[G2 and Desire Z General] crestofawave:
RushAOZ, you will be missed. (Just joking.)

But, you're pretty much on spot. Once they release the official drivers for our chipset we'll have a smoother experience, but most importantly a more stable/efficient/consistent one.

HTC doesnt have to release a update at all. They are in it to make money, like every other company.

What they should do is release the source code to the drivers....

You know of course that there is a small phone unit in our Notes!.

Seriously though,I am the kind of guy who likes to keep his handset in touch and not sort of abuse it by constantly snaping in and out,or box it away in another device or a tab for that matter,since mmy Note does both jobs excellently the Padphone is not for me, actualy not even considered it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zamboney:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytung2020:
if someone creates a 4" phone with a 7"screen then I would say a true combination of portability and big screen functionality.

For Note, the size is still a little too big for portability, while it's a little too small as a tablet.

For padphone, it's not very portable (need to carry a pad and a phone).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
I love the idea. If the specs are not up to it, then a waste of effort.

I can see it working really well for the Note, imagine the 10" Note as a dumb terminal for the Note? That would be cool. I imagine Samsung would have to pay Asus quite a bit for the inevitable patent, however.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Souai:
dunno what the heck everyone else in here is talking about but you seem to know what youre talking about.

its not a last gen snapdragon, its a next gen snapdragon. it may not be the S4 pro, but the S4 is already pretty darn fast. for those who havent seen it, the snapdragon S4 dual core outperforms the tegra3 quad core chipset in almost all CPU tasks - thats a dual core beating a quad core.

so NO, the padfone specs do not suck. it has much more processing power than we have, and even though it doesnt have the next gen qualcomm GPUs, it doesnt need it when its in phone mode since it runs at a lower res in phone mode.

the only question is how well will it perform in tablet mode.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJsCrIBbLe:
I actually just skimmed it from my phone and saw dual core snapdragon and assumed. If its s4 then ya screen res is really its only draw back
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoneguy589:
Unless Asus plans on upgrading the phone each year and keeping it the same dimensions so people can keep the tablet and still upgrade their phones....then I think Padphone idea would be smart. Problem is, every Android company changes their device design which is why they never can keep up with Apple. If Motorola made the lapdock so the it wouldn't need a tethering plan, I think the Atrix may have sold better AND they could have made a docking tablet and cornered the market. The Atrix (for me) was a great phone but At&t and Motorola hosed it up.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basketor:
i don't think it's a problem since you upgrade the phone and the tablet at the same time for like 20% price more than just a phone

if it wasn't PenTile screen the res wouldn't be a drawback

your thinking is exactly the reason why have to sufer the pain of PenTile screens :D

tablet - changed dpi to tablet mode. and walla, it's a tablet. phablet? the same.

ultrabook - get some wireless keyboard, and hook GNote to big ass LCD screen...

GNote wins hands down...

If you run the RUU from htc dev and if it says you need to upgrade and when you continue, it gives you some error. Follow below procedure

I did this.

If you are using windows

#1. Log in to your machine using admin rights

#2. Download the RUU from htc dev

#3. run the RUU till step 2(dont actually start upgrading the phone)

#4. Go to task manager and find the application process

#5. Right click and select open file location

#6. You should see a file with name PH11IMG.zip

#7. Copy this file on some other location on your hard drive

#8. connect your phone to computer as disk drive and copy this file on sd root (Make sure its a gold card)

#9. restart your phone in to recovery(Power volume key) it will automatically upgrade.

Steps above are tentative and may not be accurate, I just typed it in here. As i have done this long back i might have missed something. If you need accurate information look for the thread that talks about how to unlock using HTC dev on xda. I got this trick from similar thread.

Once you unlock, you can flash CWM and do rest of the stuff.

I used it on a hike yesterday. Drove well into the mountains far out of cell range. I could not believe how absolutely outstanding the gps was. Not only for the drive, which Google Nav took me exactly to the lat\long requested, but along the hike as well to track my distance. Just amazing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Been using my Vibrant fo r a year or so while cycling. It was notorious for crappy GPS signal even with a plethora of "fixes".

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
You should probably slap the source of this rumor swiftly with a good backhand. Seriously...who would start such a rumor? As the others have said, the combination of GPS and GLONASS antennas gives the Note one of the best, if not the best GPS system in a cell phone that is mass produced today.

what do you use for gps when your out of cell range?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
I was just using Google Nav and My Tracks. Didn't seem phased at all by being out of cell range and relying solely on the satellites. Seemed that cell phones I had in the past relied quite a bit on cell towers for accurate location, however this one does not from my experience yesterday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Since the Note includes the GLONASS antenna, you don't need cell service, stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
GPS by itself doesn't really require cell service (that's why standalone GPS works). Having the cell service helps speed up the initial lock on satellites. Once locked, it doesn't require any cell service.

Google Nav will cache the route data once your setup the destination.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
The GPS on the NOTE is by far the best GPS experience I've had with any phone/GPS unit. It literally locks in on your location in seconds!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
You mean GPS Navigation? Many apps have offline capability.. I use Locus for general "gps" activities (hiking, geocaching, etc), and there are several offline navigation apps on the market, but I don't use any offhand.

Technically, cell service has very little to do with it, aGPS downloads data every few days, it doesn't poll data constantly. It could as well do it from wifi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Agreed, cell service has little to do with the GPS position data, but with apps like Google Maps you won't get any map data (although you can turn caching on to get around that problem).

That said, yes, there are some assisted GPS techniques which use wifi and cell phone tower data to get an approximate location. But the real GPS receiver doesn't use that stuff at all.
