[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
(This is intended to be a 'how do you show off your stylus', although in retrospect, it's going to turn into a 'best apps' thread,

so perhaps it should be moved?)

Just wondering how you show off your stylus, or what makes people oo and ahh at it?

I don't draw and my handwriting sucks so I don't do either. (Might have to get that 'Draw something' game though)

the new game 'Shogun' is a ton to play with the stylus.

It's a 'bullet hell' game and it's MUCH easier with the stylus as you can see all the bullets around your ship. I think it's my new stylus 'show off' app.

I had a lot of fun playing 'nemo picross' with a very tiny grid, and drawing with the stylus. Really nice.

Its an S pen. Not a stylus. Stylus is what was used with old resistive touch screens.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kersh:
Ehh, no.

It is a stylus as is a wacom pen that always have been called stylus or wacom pens.

s pen it is only a marketing word.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Baghli:
hmmm, ok sorry my bad.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] keilbaca:
Any other awesome shmups on the Android? Unfortunately Cave went to the iOS :( :(

I haven't found any fun use for the stylus until you mentioned shmups. I am now a very happy camper. :D :D

EDIT: Already am 220th in the country. Its a grazing shmup. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] david.huwyler:
i think the best stylus app is s-memo :) i use it very often!

i havent found an as useful stylus app... but maby anywhere out there is an better one???

I prefer Jotter (For Galaxy Note) for the following reasons:

-option for palm rejection

-option to disable back key

-just one tap on a widget to start writing

LectureNotes - Good note taking app

SketchBookMobile - Basically photoshop for the Note

OmniSketch - Cool sketching app

Pretty sure they're all available as free/paid versions, I bought all 3.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] steveblue:
how about the xda galaxy note forum page as the best stylus demo

the demo is - that all frustration is lost with this phone, including having to zoom up just to hit a link or read text and miss hit the link anyway. So I have 3 demos I show all the time - really this is one:

I have a url ready to go of a dense page of the XDA forum with small text and many pages of comments, and I show how with my stylus how perfect and fast I can hit on even the supper small next of an author or the next or number page buttons perfectly ( on the bottom right of the page). I explain how I can do this while walking and never miss any hyperlink or button again. demo 1

I then have a pressure sensitive demo with zen brush all set up, where I go into a great picture already made ( already they are impressed) and I have purposely made room available at the bottom to make a very light to very hard brush strokes, where the different levels of pressure sensitivity show up by seeing the very very thin to very very think brush strokes - people go wild. it takes pracitse to do the very light especially with a screen protector. demo 2

last I have a smemo page ready to go with 3 lines of text I already wrote out in freehand (' buy more potatoes' is one of the lines). I have enough room to add another line and usually write "do it now" ( easy and I never mess it up). Then I hit the 'handwriting to text' button and get perfect text ( which I already knew would work). now folks with mouth open. demo 3

I also mentioned that this is approximately what apple would call a retina display, this is the only retina display with a full wacom tablet underneath it.

additional non stylus demo

The vlingo dead accurate speech recognition is actually the most successful demo to freak them out. I have it ready to go, say 'Hi Galaxy' , say Play "Let it be" and the music starts, I then either say dial the persons phone number and wait for their phone to ring, or 'say gmail' in which I show them swype ( many folks seemed to have no clue about swype) and then hit the mic and dictate alot of email. all perfect.

Lastly I have a HD movie, of nature from youttube downloaded on my device (called Best of HD movies: water/wasser) to show the beautiful screen.

I also show I can use it with one hand, put it my pocket and put it up to my ear. I mention the phone is a game changer and if Apple came out with it the world would be going crazy. and Smile.

ps - google 'gesture search' app (always a shortcut on my front page) impresses folks too, when they see I can call anyone, play any music, open any app in one or two swipes.

Thanks for the heads up on freenote.

The best note taking app for me.

I really like being able to combine handwriting, text and drawing all really easily.

Still trying to work out which handwriting mode works best for me (I think 2 cell - as long as I keep my writing in a straight line so words split over the 2 halves of the page don't end up looking wonky). And still tweaking the recognition timing thresholds, but definitely my favourite so far.

The limit to the amount you could fit in sMemo is way to small to be useful for anything more than post it note type notes.

Freenote will be useful for taking notes in just about any situation.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vasko:
Hi,

Anyone knows about any remote desktop app that can take advantage of the stylus?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smaragdhk:
Citrix works...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vasko:
Thanks, do you know if it works with terminal services alone? Or do you have to install Citrix on the deskt aswell?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smaragdhk:
Don't think it works as a standalone app. For work we have it running on a server, and staff use the client software on their handheld devices.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vasko:
I see, I'm looking for a terminal server client which could be less cumbersome with the stylus than the actual app i'm using.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smaragdhk:
Hmmm... Remote RDP perhaps? There is lite version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockky:
Why better than lecture notes or Will?

I couldn't find LecureNotes in the Market on my phone (tried searching for Acadoid, and also tried changing my region using Market Enabler too). I could find it on my web browser on my PC, but when I try to install it via the web, it says it's not compatible with my Galaxy Note and won't let me proceed.

I'm not sure what Will is...?

I did try out Handrite, Fliq, Genial Writing and sMemo.

For me, the handwriting entry process works best in freenote.

It seems to be the most tweakable to be able to get the settings just right for your speed and style of writing.

Plus it's quick and easy to swap between different modes of input (handwriting, typing, drawing freehand, highlighting)
[7 Mozart General] stephboyle127:
Hey guys, Tried to install a stock rom as my phone was resetting and having problems with charging. Was on the Latest Nextgen Rom with HSPL installed.

Didn't reset back to RSPL before trying to install the stock Orange UK rom 1.30. Install got to about 18% then stopped with an error, didnt notice which one. Could do nothing with it, so removed battery. Now won't even switch on. Couple of questions.

1. Is it bricked.

2. If bricked can i sort it myself.

3. If bricked , it is still under warranty. Can i send it to HTC for repair, will they find iv'e messed with it, lol

4. Should i have installed RSPL before doing the stock rom.

5. Should I just claim my insurance.

Any help would be appreciated
[7 Mozart General] h3nno:
I presume you have tried charging the phone?
[7 Mozart General] R3PUBL1K:
I've sent two phones back via Orange Care that were bricked...a Nokia n70 and a HTC touch 3G. Both bricked. I believe Orange have an admin fee now.
[7 Mozart General] stephboyle127:
Hi, have tried charging phone but nothing happens, not even the red light.

So i should be ok going through Orange even if its just using the warranty cover as i dont have Orange Care just seperate insurance.?
[7 Mozart General] Graviticvortex:
I bricked my T-mobile version of Mozart exactly same way.

Also no lifesigns whatsoever.

HTC service replaced motherboard under warranty.

I dont think there is any other solution other than trip to service.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangor gubbins:
Hi guys,

I flashed my phone with the latest checkrom revoHD V6 as per Spider's instructions (full wipe). Afterwards my phone couldn't connect to 3G. Wifi and 2G work ok. So I flashed the same baseband I'd had previously, but that made no difference. So I flashed back to the restore (VillainRom V3) I'd made with CWM before checkrom. Now I can't even connect to 2G. I tried reflashing the baseband, but again no difference.

Any ideas of what to do next?

Cheers.

Check your IMEI (*#06#) and report back.

Don't post your full IMEI or anything, just say if it starts with 24 (I think) and has loads of 0's in it, that's the default development IMEI.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangor gubbins:
Hi rev,

Cheers for that. I checked my imei number, but it was blank (small panic). Having just read that some people got theirs to reappear by turning off, removing sim, and rebooting, I tried that. It worked.

I also have a efs folder back up.

I think the problem may have occurred because I flashed the modem (using CWM) while the ac charger was plugged in.

Lesson learned: ALWAYS MAKE A FULL BACKUP, ESPECIALLY THE EFS FOLDER.
[HTC Sensation] pnlrogue1:
I'm stuck

I got my Sensation back from repairs with 1.18 and pressed on and rooted. I now run rooted stock 2.3 with S-On but unlocked using HTC method (Revolutionary didn't work for some reason) and ClockWorkMod with SuperCID

This is where the problems started

I can't get S-Off

I have tried everything I can find (literally been on this for hours). I've tried:

Revolutionary 0.4pre4 (which fails to gain root - possibly because I've already got root)

HTCSuperTool (v3 of which appears to be broken, btw)

Downloading various firmwares and flashing them (using the PG58img.zip/bootloader method)

I've even tried running the RUU exe and pulling the rom.zip, renaming that and dropping that in the SD card

Running the RUU (both the latest T-Mobile UK and the latest ICS version)

The weird thing is that it reads the PG58img.zip files, loads them, starts to parse them then goes back to bootloader and doesn't read them again unless I reboot the bootloader

Update: Re-locked the bootloader and still can't run the RUU for ICS

Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] pnlrogue1:
Anyone? Please help!
[HTC Sensation] vegi71:
I've just been through all this after getting my phone back from repair. Mine came back with t-mobile branded rom version 1.50.110.2 and wouldnt s-off with revolutionary. Luckily the phone still had supercid so i flashed RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_R_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_228602_signed.exe and revolutionary finally worked.

Thank you, I'll try that (if I can ever get a slot on the FileFactory download server...)

I've got a 1.17 hboot.img from Kohr-Ar (used in one of the PG58IMG.zips), could I use fastboot flash hboot hboot.img to flash that or would i be left with a brick?
[HTC Sensation] pnlrogue1:
Ok, got the ROM and tried to flash but I forgot that I put the CID back to the T-Mobile CID. Now, I can't change the CID, I always get:

(bootloader) vreg_set: request is duplicated id 14

(bootloader) pyramid_init_sd, SD card power on ok

(bootloader) sdcc_init_memory_device done

Any ideas now?

did u find any solution , i am exactly in same situation i also did exactly same thing now stuck
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Try to run ruu ???
[HTC Sensation] pnlrogue1:
Afraid not. I tried all sorts of things - best I can say is do NOT try to flash your bootloader using the fastboot method - found that out the hard way...

I think flashing an alternative ROM may help but I'm not sure. Maybe contact the devs of Revolutionary - it just wants a way of skipping the Zerging Root stage in V0.5...
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Find my post and do it step by step run ruu then change cid
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pixelguy:
I flashed my phone back to stock a while ago not realising i flashed it with tmobile france software then did an OTA upgrade to gingerbread and it stayed as tmobile france, meaning now my phone always thinks im roaming lol

iv found an old tmobile UK sbf file which is the 2.2.2 older software version and im planning to sbf flash it then do another OTA update which will hopefully put me on gingerbread tmobile UK :)

im just asking to see if this is a a safe thing to do or could i brick my phone by downgrading sbf files etc...? thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheeparecurious:
NO.

No, nope, nonononononono.

No.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pixelguy:
why not? please explain lol i dont want to ruin my phone
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheeparecurious:
LOL no problem. The "One Guaranteed Way in the Whole Wide World" to brick your phone is to SBF flash to an older version than what you're on currently.

Unfortunately I don't have any experience in getting different carrier's firmware; just didn't want to see your phone get screwed in the process.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pixelguy:
ah i see thank you, i guess il just leave it and get over the annoying roaming symbol then! haha what would happen if i flashed over it with a UK version of the same software?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheeparecurious:
I guess my question would be: are you actually being charged for roaming? If so, I might change your title to ask how to get back on UK Tmobile -- someone else might have some better ideas.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pixelguy:
nope i dont think i am just get an annoying popup all the time saying im roaming when im not and okay ill try to do that thanks

I am unable to unblock/Defrost the apps that I have frozen using Gemini App Manager. Does anyone know how to do it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thaiiy:
Use Titanium Backup's Power Defrost option (in the Batch Menu). Only thing is it's in the Pro version.

Other users on XDA here have successfully unfrozen by backing up the app, uninstalling, resetting phone and reinstalling app.

I think System Tuner or App Quarantine may also unfreeze, haven't tried it myself cos Power Defrost worked for me.

It won't be compatible for many reasons, one because it's not touchwiz, a samsung phone, or ICS
[HTC EVO 3D] manemzjum:
Is there nay kernels that support an extended battery im not even sure if there is an official eb like there was for the HD2

But from previous experience with my HD2 the extended battery worked but drained to 15% as normal but stayed at 15% for another 7 hrs
[HTC EVO 3D] wloftus:
this sounds like an issue that may be saved in the battery cache in the overall set up... when installing the new extended battery try booting into recovery and clearing the batte3ry cache then booting into your rom
[HTC EVO 3D] manemzjum:
Sorry i should have been clearer i haven't got an EB yet i have ordered one and am just wondering if the experience will be the same as with HD2

Or if the kernel would recognize the extended capacity
[HTC EVO 3D] wloftus:
theory states yes it should recognize it... for fazct i don not know for i dont not have one....but the cache should recognize the the larger capacity considering the batteries have a separate bios nowadays
[HTC EVO 3D] manemzjum:
Sounds about right to me will update post when battery arrives
[HTC EVO 3D] manemzjum:
Well after getting THIS Battery

I fully charged it and used it through out the day and after 9 hrs i was still sitting at 75%

Now as previously mentioned on the hd2 the extended battery used to drain to 15% as normal and remain there for several hours

Ironically enough the evo seems to be the opposite it seemed to stay at 85% for a considerable amount of time but 9 hrs of use including playing some games like angry birds draw something general facebook use and some messages seems great could easily get 2 days use from a single charge and only 4.50

Makes phone a big chunky but also quite comfortable

So i just installed the new BM 5.0 and i was deleting unwanted apps via Titanium Backup pro .. i was doing it so fast that i accidentally deleted task manager! now everytime i click on the widget "Active Application" it fore closes! i tried to look for the stock task manager in the app store but could not find it! is there a way to undo the delete without doing a nandroid restore?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] moondrius:
Use the feature in Titanium that can pull apks from cwm backups. You should be able to fix it with that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:
thank u for your response! But i do not know how to do this feature you speak of, mind teaching me? thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
1) Open TB

2) Go to Backup/Restore

3) Option soft key

4) More

5) Extract from Nandroid backup

6) Pick Task Manager

I personally tried it once and it didn't work for me, worst comes to worst I'll upload you the JobManager.apk (I assume that's the one you're talking about? The Samsung task manager?). But I assume it works, otherwise they wouldn't include the feature.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:
i tried those steps and did not find task manager .. i guess it wasnt backed up ... but i do have a scheduled back up every sundays ....i think its the samsung task manager, the icon was a pie graph .... it would be awesome sauce if u could upload it for me :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
http://min.us/mj9kYFJoR

To install it, you'll need a file explorer with root access (ES File Explorer, ROOT File Explorer, etc.). Then you'll have to move it to /system/app (to get to /system you'll have to go one level up from /sdcard to get to the root folder /). Make the permissions read "rw- r-- r--" (how you do that depends on what file explorer you use) and then reboot. Should fix the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:
the file does not exist or it is unavailable...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
I'm guessing you're doing it from your phone? Minus has a quirk with mobile sites. Download it from your computer or change your user agent to desktop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:
Who needs a pc nowadays anyways? hehe .... downloaded it with Dolphin browser and it worked, will let u know if this works! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:
so i am trying to move it to system/app ... but its saying it cant move because the file is read only..... im using Root Explorer btw....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
It'll be an option in root explorer along the lines of "root access". I don't know the exact process because I use ES. Play around in the settings of root explorer until you find it. By default it's disabled to prevent users from actually screwing with their system operating system without knowing what they're doing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:
did not find anything under settings but there was a button that said Mount R/O or Mount R/W ... so i selected the file to move then i went to system/app thrn i clicked the mount button on the top and it worked! Thank u so much for ur help and fast responds! :) u really saved mr from alot of grief.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
Yeah it's the same thing, you're just allowing the system position to be written to. No problem. Is your task manager working as usual now?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:
Yes it seems to be working lime its suppose to! But i wonder why its called Job Manager, and what i deleted was named Task Manager...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
Not sure. Android has a native task manager other than the Samsung one so that might have anything to do with it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:
thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:
so it seems like my task manager is having issues .. most of the time when i open it via "active applications" , its frozen, like i am unable to press anything ..i have to reboot always to make it work. budo u know how to fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
Was it working fine when you first installed it? Either way, there's always 5 generic steps you should always take first when trying to resolve an issue:

1) clear application data

2) reboot to recovery and clear cache

3) clear dalvik cache

4) fix permissions

5) reboot

See if that fixes your issues

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Stock taskmanager sucks then again they all do, how on any os has force closing n app ever been healthy 4 the device? U were smart removin it to begin wit. ;) if u only put it back bcuz of the button in recent apps, its simple enough to remove

Or replace with text only..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
It's useful on occasion if an app hangs, I go into the task manager and force close it, forcing it to load all over again rather than using the ram stored state which isn't working. But force closing arbitrarily certainly provides no benefit to your device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Ye but then u c the ppl who think its there to free ram n hit the close all button n wonder y they gut issues lmao

XD personally I felt more confident removing it then leavin it, considering there's better on the market, n only way to get stock outa the ram after openin it is to use another taskmanager to force close that? Lmfao stock sucks xD
