[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverbold17:
This problem occurred to me today and before started posting here, I've found out that it's actually received as MMS?!?!

So in order for you to get the business card, you will have to goto your message, click on the XXXXX.vcf > Menu button > Attached Items > Select XXXXX.vcf > Save.

Then it automatically save it to your /mnt/sdcard/download.

Go there click on the XXXXX.vcf file and it will ask you where to save it...

Althou it works, but it sure takes lots of steps... :(

vcard issues with QR codes

I generally share contact information using barcode scanner's QR code. But the Note's contacts for addresses seems to completely screw them - my address ends up littered with semi-colons?

The other thing is that it doesn't add the contact information automatically the way my HTC Desire did, instead it just takes you to the contact's app and then you have to click add. Weird and typically bad user interface design from Samsung.

Shame this, as it's far and away the easiest way to share a contact's details with someone.

Guys Iam not talking about scanning business cards. Nokia calls theirs contacts business cards..what I am saying is that apparently Samsung does not recognize a contact number sent from Nokia address book via the network.

the damn phone should atleast notify me that it has received some jumbled up crap from a Nokia phone via the network..

Ps-apparently sharing Nokia contacts aka business cards,via Bluetooth works but its limited by distance

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mystic38:
The "damn" phone as you put it simply does not recognise the "crap" from a Nokia phone and so cannot identify if it is correct or garbage..

Given their is no universal standard formatting of contacts, Being sarcastic about the Note and blaming Samsung for inter device incompatability is quite rediculous, however given you feel so strong, feel free to sell your Note and buy a Nokia phone.

Tell them to stop using some ancient ****ty proprietary format. Or get an appropriate app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsrijo:
I love my note...I absolutely adore it, but am annoyed that it doesn't show any indication of receiving the business card at all.

Is there an app that can workaround this problem ?

Given that Nokia is such a big player in the mobile phone business is it so hard for Samsung techs to write a few lines of code to recognise a bcard ?

I have a lot of clients who uses Nokia phones and I can't ask all of them to get new phones now can I ?

Now if someone's sending a contact info I have to specifically ask them not to send as business card and that irritates the hell out of me cuz then I have waste my time explaining about compatibility issues.

I guess I have to live with it for now.... in a few years there won't be any symbian devices left and we'll all be one big Android family with no comparability issues.

Oh and mystic38 , save that energy to tear into an I phone fanboi will ye ? :-)

Cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioweb:
You could just ask your clients not to use outdated proprietary crap to send you their contact information and instead just send an email so you can save the contact information yourself.

It's like whining about not being able to receive ping messages from all your 'boys from tha hood' that all use a ****ty Blackberry.

Writing a few lines of code to recognize b cards probably ends up in a patent lawsuit of some sorts...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pboesboes:
Yeah, Nokia will probably be dead pretty soon. They're not a big player anymore. Maybe it's different where you live, but I don't know anyone who has a Nokia and I've never even seen a Lumia in real life (outside of a phone shop).

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coolkriss:
The "Business Card" is a Symbian feature for Nokia. I dont think they named it the same in their Windows Mobile.

If you are able to get it good over Bluetooth, then it is all fine.

If the Business card is not coming to you over the network, blame Nokia for sending it in a peculiar format.

If your friends are laughing at him, it is their teeth that are showing up. Don't worry about such silly stuff.

[Xperia Arc General] Vic.:
For some reason, every time I try to install a custom ROM in CWM (Gingerbread, not ICS), my phone doesn't get past the bootloader after installing it with CWM. I installed some themes through CWM, so it works for them.I've tried Arconium 7.3 and GingerChaosFZ, none of them work. I have an Arc S and my phone's bootloader is locked and I'm on baseband 56, if that matters.
[Xperia Arc General] nagarajsv:
Almost all custom roms requires the phone's bootloader to be unlocked and requires a specific kernel ( which again requires bootloader unlocked for it to be flashed ) .

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NastroGlide:
So I tested my prime when i got it for bluetooth/wifi issues by using a2dp on my jawbone icon and watching netflix. There was no problems as far as I could tell. I got a ps3 controller and got on onlive to play a game and realized a major wifi fall out. So I turned off bt and went into netflix, started up some Archer, turned on bt and connected ps3 controller, wifi degraded instantly and became unusable. Don't know if this has been reported as I have done a ton of reading and haven't come across this particular issue. Maybe its a bt profile issue.

I also just realized another strange issue. Does anyone elses dock act like you pressed "enter" when you actually presses "shift+b"? Here is it goes:

BBBBB

BBB

BBB

BB

after the first press it makes a capital b just fine but take your fingers off and do it again and it goes to the next line and no "B". weird.:confused:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankurjain3:
problem solved as ctomgee mention

thanks

For ALL whoever are facing problems with the LOCK SCREEN here is the solution :

Tools Needed:

1. Hex Editor

2. Root Explorer

Steps to restore:

1. Using root explorer locate the /efs/imei/ folder. In that folder there should be a file called keystr. In my case the file was missing which is why the lock screen was missing and was causing my problems.

2. using root explorer create a new file called keystr

3. also in root explorer open the file keystr in text editor and type ON

4. now go into hex editor and locate the /efs/imei/keystr file.

5. using hex editor the first two values in green should be 4f and 4e. all others should be 00.

6. make sure you save the file.

7. reboot.

Press Thanks, if it helps you...

Hey I'm having a somewhat similar issue... I was trying to update to the latest cm9 and a different kernel codeworkx made and in the process the kernel instal failed... right after that my power button stopped responding completely... and now it.seems.to.be responding buy not always... seems.to maybe be a hardware problem but I'm.not sure... because the issue started right after this bad instal... maybe its my imagination. But feels like when pressed at a certain angle it works... :-|

Anyway I was trying this method to see if it helps but my hex editor doesn't show me anything inside the efs folder to be able.to.edit it... with root explorer I see two ketstr files... one is just keystr... the other is keystr.bak... should I only have one file or what may be the issue here...?? Both of them are set to on tho... :-|

Any help will be highly appreciated since I really don't want to need to repair the button since there is no warranty on this...

alright so... i kinda screwed up the usb port on my beloved SGS2 few days back... and well it "kinda" work and "kinda" not.. sometime it detect its connected to computer.. and shows "USB cable connected" then sometime it wont detect no matter how many time i plug it in... so i'm planning to go to the reseller that i bought it from and see if they gona replace me with new one or send it to samsung to see if they gona fix it...

just a side note: if the fixing cost/the new phone cost doesnt go into warranty (water got into usb and broke it), my house insurance will cover the entire phone (confirmed)... so my problem isnt about that luckily

yes so.. i want to know what kind of requirement i need for warranty here i list what i did

1st Flashed stock rom with stock kernel (so yea its stock without root or any kind of custom)

2nd Reseted my custom binary (its been 0 for quite while now anyway...)

3rd Factory reseted (just in case it would magically start to work after this.. and to also ensure to samsung guys that i've tried everything within the warranty limit)

now question is.. did i miss something? i will be returning it thursday

ps. sry if there is incorrect grammar or anything... my english isnt perfect
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I'd probably do it this way:-

1) Format cache, data, system, & sd card in CWRecovery.

2) Flash stock firmware

3) Use jig

They won't fix/replace it under warranty given you got water in the USB port (we went thru this last week if you recall). And how did you manage to flash a stock rom if your USB port is borked ? Anywho...:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warrez:
yes i remember mistah XD and it doesnt hurt to try does it? XD for the warranty i mean... and also i flashed it via mobile odin.. first downloaded latest stock rom via checkfrus downloader.. and then dropped it into dropbox from desktop.. downloaded it off from dropbox on android and then flash it via mobile odin done...

I was playing around today with photoshop and I cam up with a possible idea for a new icon pack I would call Solar Flare (or something :P )

Version 1:

The icons would all be with the black background.

If enough people like this, I will make it into a pack ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nordpolcamper:
Great work, but not exactly my case, because that reminds me of the most go launcher themes, that had Icons that looked like this, but there surely will be enough people that think differently ;)

I would suggest though, that you put all your icons into one thread, because that way its easier to keep track of your work, rather than searching for each icon set, but just a suggestion.
