Thanks man. You did get a lot of heat in that thread but I applied you because your base test is what I am after. The typical performance out of the box as the dev hands to a normal user. I won't be changing any settings on the cpu or anything else. The dev releases a ROM setup for a reason so there is no need to be changing it like others posted in your thread.

Ive said it once and I'm sure I will have to say it a dozen more times - Base test for roms out of the box on 2 benchmarking apps, battery and personal usage is what I am after.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CLopez92868:
Great idea!

I would love to see your results!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rickdmemphis:
cpu/undervolting

I really like the idea of testing multiple roms one after another on the same device. It would be the most accurate way to test them imo. Some roms are coming out from the developers either overclocked,undervolted, or any combination of the two. Do you intend on leveling these variables, in any way, before testing or running them exactly as the dev intended.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
I'm going to run them as the dev intended. The main reason why is most people only gain the balls to actually try rooting and installing a rom but most won't mess with overclocking or voltage. I know many will disagree and say things like "these test never work or aren't correct" but I'm after the battery stats, out of box, end user results.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
I just picked the top 5 based on replies/post via their thread. if you like I will definitely throw Foxstar in it. Ive finished with DIGITAL WARFAR and slickMOD and just flashed Paradox II about an hour ago.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rickdmemphis:
When do you expect to be able to post your results? Any previews :rolleyes: Also as I'm sure you already know Warfare 2.5 may be dropping soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
As of now each rom test is taking 2-3 days. I would imagine in the next 7-10 days I would have a full thread with all results.

I plan on doing warfare 2.5 and I'm also waiting for Beastmod 5.0 to also do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
ROMs done:

DARKSIDE DIGITAL WARFARE [v2.4]

slickMOD v3.4[SUPREME]

Paradox II|Paradise|3|5|12| - Recharging to 100 then running benchmarks and I'll be done

Flashing tomorrow morning:

Guys,

please help me.. its urgent.. i think my phone is bricked.. it suddenly got hanged when i tried to make a call.. then i pulled out the battery and then put it again.. but no luck.. so tried formatting and reflashing nik;s 4.5 again.. but it didn;t complete properly.. after the reboot.. i tried getting into recovery its getting struck..its not even booting into normal mode.. then i tried flashing canogenmod recovery through command prompt .. it was successful... now i am able to get into recovey.. but cant restore...i tried installing other ROMs also.. but no luck.. i tried to see whats wrong over command prompt.. adb shell command says
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Restore what exactly? The rom that was giving you all the trouble in the first place? You might want to redownload the rom and check the md5sum just to be sure its not a corrupt download. Dont forget to wipe first, like what was suggested above.
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
before following the above suggestions which are spot on, i would suggest you do a bit of reading to familiarize yourself with the basics.

hope you have made a nandroid backup of the original stock rom.

steps you should follow (or should have)

- nandroid backup of your current rom

- check if s-off'd (and if you want it)

- install recovery as required

- download desired rom and check mdsum

- clean wipe, install

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] myarbro:
Have any of you ordered this for your note? They make this one and the one without the flip cover. As of now, I am using the official flip cover and it is already starting to fall apart. I really like the look of this. If no one has ordered this, has anyone else tried any of their other products? Just curious about quality.

http://www.amazon.com/elago-Handmad...VJBO/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1331222074&sr=8-8

Also, I want to order this screen protector. There is a post here in the forums about it, but am also curious if the above case will fit with this .4mm thick tempered glass.

http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-SGP-Pr...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1331226637&sr=1-1

If it doesn't fit, this might be a good option to go with the screen protector...

Any comments would be welcome :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] manfly9884:
Very nice case. Love the slim design. Will look into it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] myarbro:
Ended up ordering the case without the flip front and a Steinhill Ultra Crystal screen protector.

When it comes it, I will post some pictures on the consolidated white note thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ColSaulTigh:
Just ordered....

I just ordered the flip cover version - should be here by the end of the week. Will post review and pics when it arrives.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Budge:
Please come back and give us some reviews of this case. I really like the look of it. However, I wonder why there's no cutouts for the power or volume buttons. I also wish they had done a little more to cover the corners.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ColSaulTigh:
I think the images are marketing mock-ups. See this description:

Product Features

Designed to fit your at&t, International Galaxy Note perfectly

Durable leather construction with secure closure

Custom cutouts for direct access to all device features

Made by handmade with genuine leather
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Budge:
Yeah, I read that, too. I can see where the cutouts are for the camera, flash, usb, and mic. I just assumed that's what they were talking about. I guess it's possible that it's just a mockup, or you just have to push the buttons through the leather.

Does anyone know if this case is available in black?

Also, SPG makes a Stehen case similar to this one with full corner coverage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aorifan:
i'm interested in this case too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aorifan:
ColSaulTigh

Thanks for the review. It's a really good one and very useful. My only concern is that the phone seems could slip out from the top easily. Am I right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mejori:
i really like the look of this case and the design, but....where do you put cash????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ColSaulTigh:
It doesn't slip out the top, but when you plug the charger in from the bottom, it does 'push' out the top a bit. A quick push back into the case, and all is good.

This case isn't the wallet one. This is just a phone case. They make a wallet version. As I posted in my review, I was surprised it had the credit card slots, as the original pictures on the website didn't show this.

As a follow-up, here are a few quick observations:

1) With the cover open and flipped around the back, the speaker is VERY DIFFICULT to hear. I've missed calls because I didn't hear the ringer.

2) Same problem with it sitting flat on a surface (like a desktop). The leather is so smooth it effectively blocks sound from the speaker. I find myself leaning it up on a pen or something just so there's an air pocket underneath.

3) It slips very easily into my pocket. I thought this was going to be an issue, but it's very smooth and slides nicely into my front pocket.

That's it for now - will report back as more questions pop up and/or I have more observations to post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mejori:
how is the thickness with having credit cards? ..is it awkward when talking on the phone, do you leave the cover closed or flip it back? as far as speaker ..my phone is always on silent ..while at work:rolleyes: ..i only ask because i ordered a cheap $10. wallet "leather case off ebay..i love the concept but damn its bulky!!! its only temporary until you finish your review of the elago:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ColSaulTigh:
Sorry, I didn't see this post update - so here are the answers to your questions:

1) Thickness with credit cards - I don't know, as I don't put any in there. Like I said in my original post, this case wasn't suppose to have a CC pouch. The original pictures didn't show it, and I would have preferred it without the pouch. Based on thickness, I would say that the cards would press against the glass (especially if you are using the Glas+ protector like I am). I've always found that putting cards in a flat cover like this causes the flat cover to distort, so I'm guessing that that's what would happen here, especially if you then put the phone in a pocket.

2) Is it awkward talking on the phone.... - Yes and no. Holding the phone with the case open is a bit cumbersome as the 'hinge' adds width when the cover is open. I rarely hold the phone up to my head, I'm either using the speaker or a bluetooth headset. One note - the back cover, when open and flipped around, COVERS the speaker port, causing the speaker sound to become VERY muted. I usually either stick a finger in between, or if I'm setting the case down, leave the flap open and stick a pen or something under the phone (again, laying the case flat on the desk also causes the muted speaker effect).

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gvmohan:
Just got mine. So far it looks good.not bulky. I still need to get used to this to comment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ColSaulTigh:
3 Weeks Later....

So far, so good!

I get a lot of compliments on the case - it really does look very nice!

No issues regarding durability, wearability, etc. It's not getting dirty from handling, it's not scratched up (so far), and there are no places where the leather is separating, peeling, or otherwise failing.

Bottom line, I like it! Money well spent!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mejori:
i will be ordering mine soon.. just want to make sure it has cc slots!!! thanks!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ColSaulTigh:
Bear in mind:

1) It only has 2 CC slots, and...

2) It wasn't suppose to have any at all!

WHy would the corners be exposed? Makes no sense. Drop it and there goes the screen..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
Which question for ppl who using the flip case... How do you feel when holding it?

I have a Samsung flip case and i hate it. Hard to hold unless take some extra steps to fold the front to the back. When the phone rings, take more time to "flip the cover"..... so inconvenienced.

With my TPU case i use the phone instantly whenever I need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] enny76:
Elago Case

Love the look of the case. Worry about exposed corners. Did you have to cut openings on the sides for buttons? How about the magnet closure? Does it interfere with the Note in any way? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DroidXpert13:
My biggest issue with these types of cases and which was why i returned the samsung flip case is how you have to contort the case to take a picture. You have to have that big flap open to take one vertically or horizontally. Other than that I would buy it in a heart beat! Its beautifully made.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ColSaulTigh:
Made no modifications, all buttons on the sides work perfectly. They're even marked in the leather (power, vol +/-).

Magnet does not interfere with the phone at all, and works fine.

please share your experience regarding Note's Battery life with Bluetooth Headset, for music playback

Is it good going for a blue tooth headset for listening music?

or wired headset is better?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranjan.alva:
Good sound quality... Good battery life... Go for Wired headset.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
I have not found any issues. Battery use is obviously higher, but not so bad that I would not use it. I only use the wired phones when I am going somewhere with no bag and need a 'pocket' solution, as I find the wires irritating.

I have found BT to be choppy on every single device when the set is on the opposite side to my body. I think it is mainly me, and may be because I need to lose some weight (all that fat is getting in the way of the signal :)). I have my phone on my left hip and every BT headset has the receiver on the right.

Interestingly, after rooting, removing bloatware and flashing the abyss kernel, I have no more of these issues. Unfortunately I do not know which of these made it better, but I suspect the kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigmille:
I use Bluetooth to listen to music during commute, I don't think you need to worry about Bluetooth usage affect the Note's battery life too much. The Bluetooth device will run out of battery long before the Note does.

Music quality through Bluetooth is not as good as through wire, but it is more than acceptable for use out and about in noisy enlivenment. Beside to be able to change volume and skip track without touch the Note is so convenient.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiderboule:
Hi, The bluetooth is always activated on my GN and the battery life stays great! I use a2dp bluetooth everyday to listen to my music in the car and with my bluetooth headset and i was surprised because it's the first Samsung battery that doesn't gets out of power until i get back home :) (I had galaxy Mini, Galaxy Ace, Galaxy S and S2...) So go for bluetooth headset, don't worry about the battery life ;) you will be surprised about it :)

As a long time user of my mw600 Bluetooth and testing over months i can say that after listening to music for 10 hours straight my Bluetooth was only responsible for 2% of my battery drain. After listening to music for that long my battery was at 50%.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xamaba:
Battery life seems unchanged, I have two Bluetooth stereo headsets a cheaper generic and the Jaybird Freedom. I use them mainly for audio books and music listening for two or three hours at a time. Occasionally I will also use the data connection and I think the battery drain is almost the same as if I'd not be using the headsets.

EDIT:

PS... Looks like he will have a new version up tonight. I would recommend waiting and trying the updated version tomorrow. Looks like it will have CWM on it so recovery would be much easier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdsnyder:
Starting from Caulkin's 2.9 ROM (my DD for now..),

-Make a nandroid

- I copy the nandroid to my PC, just in case. (dropbox for double safety)

-If the ICS rom you want to install is a tar, use Odin to flash that ROM.

-if Not, flash a Stock rooted ICS leak tar

-use auto root and install recovery

-flash the zip via recovery​

-Use the autoroot tool to root + install recovery (if you didn't just do that)

To go back to GB,

-Flash a GB ROM via Odin (I just use the stock ROM)

-use autoroot to gain root and recovery

-recover your nandroid

-????

-profit!

This procedure has not failed me yet.

I don't know why but I just feel better using Odin to move between GB and ICS. ymmv
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
