[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesyboy:
I know that this thread is a little long in the tooth, but I thought I might add this: a mom and pop company called CPR+ (cell phone rescue) uses the following protocol to repair water damaged phones:

1: Place the phone in a hermetically sealed container with long grain brown rice: the atmospherics inside will naturally pull moisture from the device into the drier air in the container.

2: Replace corroded parts and hip joints on the logic board, and glue.

The rice doesn't work because its rice...it works only when placed in a sealed container by transferring moisture from the device to the air in the container. The rice is there to absorb water from the atmosphere...not the device directly. A zip local bag will work too.

A friend of mine is a son of the family who owned the store. He also made a living for two years buying water damaged iPhones and reselling them after using the rice method.

I've saved two of my phones, my fathers phone, and my cousins Droid this way. So far I'm 4-0. Three out of four of those devices, others tried using a hair dryer, a fan, and just leaving them out for 3 days-- 7 in the case of my dads Motorola Tundra. The Tundra wound up with a seeping battery after a hair dryer was brought to it. In most cases I'd just buy a new battery, regardless.

3 days in a zip lock bag--untouched for the whole period, ressurected one phone after the first try, and the other 3 phones after other methods were tried.

As good as anecdotal evidence gets without a double blind test, dontcha think?

The pens are actually very resilient. I had an accident involving my pen and the toilet (don't ask), by necessity I immersed the whole pen in a cup full of regular alcohol, wrapped it in a tissue paper for a while to let it dry, and it works just fine. I had to immerse it several times in alcohol before I felt somewhat comfortable with using it again.

I left my wife's iPhone in a bag of rice on a mildly warm radiator for 2 days. It worked.

However, using a hairdryer seems to make a lot of sense. You want to get rid of the water asap. Not leave it slowly evaporate like I did.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhl.thakur:
I droped an old nokia in water once.

i followed the same procedure of immidiately removing from water and removing the battery as soon as i could.

Then I just took the entire thing apart and wiped it clean with tissues. Then i just kept it in the sum for abot 15 mins (depends on how strong the sun is). once every thing was dry and seems to be properly cleaned. I just took some rubbing alcohol and cleaned it once again. Dats it.

Assembled every thing and voila!! :fingers-crossed: every thing worked. Not sure how advisable it is to keep electronic components in the sun, but it worked well for me. ;)

Well, the S-pen from my Note 10.1 in 2014 not only fell in the water, as it was washed along with clothing. Once you find it inside the machine, to shake to get the water with soap and became a wash in running water. After this, I used a blow dryer for a few minutes and let her into the compartment in the Note for 2 days. After this, the pen started functioning normally ... would be lucky? rs
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannah Stern:
I am your first thanker. However, that is weird.

I think that the water causes a short circuit in the pen which lets it think that there is pressure.

Has anybody else seen an issue with google talk disconnecting on android 4.0?

I'm using CleanRoms and I know ICS doesn't have an option for enable always-on mobile data. It feels like my phone is going to sleep and turning off data. Causing google talk to disconnect. Is there a way around this?

Also noticed my status changes to away even when I checked off the box to set away when screen is off. Gingerbread didn't do this. My screen name was always logged on and online
[HTC Rezound] ryane67:
having the same issue on my vivid with the ATT release of ICS, not sure what the heck to do about it :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] zen123:
I bought a Lexar 32gb class 10 microsd card for my tab 7.7 but after installing, it doesn't seem to be compatible in that

1/ it causes my tab to sleep of death

2/ excessive battery drain, 90% when standby but only 23% after waking 7hrs later

I'm using an old Kingston 4gb class 4 at the moment with no issues at all but need a higher capacity card.

I was looking at Samsung 32gb class 10 from amazon.co.uk which seems to be reasonably priced but not sure.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] GadgetMe:
I use the Samsung 32GB c10 card and it works perfect without any issues.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] morkli:
I have the same one. No issues either.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] deny_winarto:
Could you guys tell me where did you buy yours?

I want to be careful cos there are so many counterfeit products
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] morkli:
I bought mine end of last year on eBay from seller based in South Korea. Fairly certain it's a Samsung original and not a fake. However, that seller doesn't seem to have any more for sale.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] Maverick777:
I purchased mine at Fry's. It's a Patriot brand 32gb card. No issues here.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] rvnteck:
Im using the same Lexar 32gb class 10 microsd card which I bought from bestbuy for my Galaxy Tab 7.7

Already using it for more than a month now and still working perfectly with no issues or what so ever

My Gtab 7.7 is still on stock rom and unrooted

This device is one of best or maybe the best one when it comes to battery life! Im really impressed.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] daf22:
I also am using the same Lexar 32gb class 10 microsd card. Imported it from Amazon when it was on special.

Not problems with mine.

Maybe you got a dud, are you able to get it replaced easily?

I've an 32 GB Sandisk class4 and it's also working without problems (at least for the moment ;-) )....

Call logs backup and restore

and other applications

Just in case you have successfully installed one of the following please post it. Maybe its my installer or something.

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
SMS backup and restore is fine. I just had my messages restored. Same with the other apps. I would suggest a clean install if you are having trouble.

[Desire Android Development] womble_sanfran:
Thanks for everyones hard work on this. If upgrading from 7.1 can someone confirm if I need to do a wipe?

Update from CM 7.1.0 work? Because i get bootloop...:(
[Desire Android Development] Jordywild:
Have you got EXT4 partition?

Is Cyano 7.2 compatible with EXT4 o EXT3 partition?
[Desire Android Development] frankoid:
I'm running 7.2.0RC1 with an ext3 partition. I have S2E installed for app2sd. I didn't upgrade from 7.1 though, I did a full wipe when I installed 7.2.0RC1.
[Desire Android Development] Jordywild:
Full wipe?

I've got "only" 90 app installed.

Ok: I need a backup with Titanium. :(
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
You need to modify mountsd on the initd folder prior to flashing if you want the rom to see your ext4 partition... or flash ManU kernel.

I will stay on 7.1 too... ;)
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
Then post logcat you probably didnt wiped anything.

Same as above.
[Desire Android Development] satamateur:
home button work
[Desire Android Development] michaeldepotter:
Full wipe needed if you come from cm7.1? Or can i keep my data??
[Desire Android Development] bortak:
Well according to their flowchart of whether we'll be getting CM9 it's kind of between 5 and 50%.
[Desire Android Development] cyberden:
Coming from latest nightly. Everything seems to be working ok (home button, gps, camera).

Smooth and snappy rom :) Thanks very much!
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
I experienced that Home button not responding thing. Although I admit that I modify the rom and "clean" it up a bit. From my personal experience it has something to do with Gapps not being installed. Well at least that's where I experience it.

Lockscreen bug

When I enter a security pin I´m getting 2 screens, swipe and security lock.

Under lockscreen settings there is an option; "skip on security" witch means that slide wont show up if security lockscreen is active.

This option has worked before, but not anymore. I´m still getting 2 lockscreens.

BUT!

If I choose pattern unlock instead of pin unlock I´m only getting the security lockscreen.

Did a full wipe, problem still exist in RC1.

/regards

Edit: Bug is reported
[Desire Android Development] Pai Mei:
I don 't understand...does GPS function? Or not? I read conflicting opinion!

More...I should do a full wipe coming from cm 7.1?

Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] ali8383:
i think we will not see CM9 soon :(
[Desire Android Development] Jordywild:
I've installed from 7.1 Stable but i've lost all my app and I don't wipe full. :confused:

I don't understand.

I've got EXT4 partition of 2 GB.

Back to 7.1
[Desire Android Development] Taiko0:
I have the same problem with the PIN lock.
[Desire Android Development] gizzmoffm:
Great release! But stock browser crashes almost reproducible when quickly navigating between web pages.

Opened issue 4867 in the tracker...

How to reproduce:

- Open heise-online.mobi (but works on many many other pages, too)

- Click on one of the first articles

- While/quickly after loading go back

- open again

- repeat until browser crashes

Sometimes this takes just 1-2 repeats to make it crash.

I was hoping that the reverted webkit accel patch fixes this issue, but it didn't...

Maybe the crashes other ppl were seeing in other apps were only indirectly related to webkit accel (which was really really great... sooo smooooth)
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
Because it mounts the ext partition as ext3 and not ext4 and I already posted the workaround but you dont read. :rolleyes:

Hey is it me or isn't it that the icon on the blade style lockscreen is off center?

[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
Or you can just flash ManU kernel. That will do the same thing to get ext4 mounted. I tried it both ways and it worked.
[Desire Android Development] Jordywild:
So: first flash Cyanogen, after flash manu kernel?

I've just installed script2sd addon edited by Kali.

Have you got a link for this kernel?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
Yeah Rom then kernel. No need to reboot in between.

ManU Kernel
[Desire Android Development] michaeldepotter:
is there a mirror for this rom? Cause the Cyanogenmod link is so slow!!
[Desire Android Development] Jordywild:
Nothing.

Perhaps is my EXT4 partition too big (2 GB)? :confused:

ive got the same issue.

wiped data and dalvik cache.

checked the md5 on the cm7 zip too.

im using amon-ra recovery.
[Desire Android Development] Androidandy:
I have upgraded from 7.1 standard Hboot.

I did not erase caches or davlik

Everything is working fine.:)

I don't use app2sd, but I do have a ext partition, I just don't use it. My app memory is low, but I have only a few more days before I upgrade to the One X :D

7.2 is good
[Desire Android Development] carval2k:
I did wipe everything. I always do it even if came from previous ROM's.

There a major change on GPS from 7.1 to 7.2. On 7.1 the GPS is always the original conf. On 7.2 a new option appears where we should (or not) tell Android which type of GPS must be used. If internal or a bluetooth one. Tried the settings, and nothing happens.

So my report is simple:

GPS works fine in a few seconds on 7.1, on 7.2 never starts, It seems that OS/apps dont even found the hardware...

Thanks for the help!
[Desire Android Development] sander151187:
For all those who have ext3/4 problems: backup your apps with titanium backup and wipe your sd-ext partition. After that flash the legacy a2sd-script for Cyanogen 7 and when you've got your ROM running install s2e from the market. It should work. It did the trick for me. Lost NO data at all, because I had my backup.

Otherwise great ROM. Batterylife for me is slightly lower than it was in CM7.1. Hope this will be fixed in the final.
[Desire Android Development] daniel_pt:
I've been using the CM7.2 since the first nightly release and I don't have any problem that is been reported here... GPS works as it always worked and the home button never failed either! :)

Now I'll update to the RC1 and probably everything will be as it is... Nice and smooth! :D
[Desire Android Development] michaeldepotter:
I was not able to download apps from the market (error 921) after a clean install (wiped everything). I tried to wipe cache and dalvik again, fix permissions but that didn't work so I went back tot 7.1 (by a nandroid backup).

After that I've wiped cache and dalvik and installed 7.2 again over the 7.1 rom but with keeping my data. Now I'm able to download again from the market.

GPS and home button are working here perfect!
[Desire Android Development] Jordywild:
I didn't understand: does Cyanogen 7.2 work with EXT4 partition? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] ElCap13:
after having errors with a fresh install, i tried this way and it works for me! yay! thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] randolph2000:
CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 looks good to me. Although installing application via Google Play/Market looks like it hangs but you have to wait a little longer. I didnt have that issue with 7.1

Battery life seems good. My Desire could stand for 3 days without charging (texting / calls) i rarely use wifi and 3g.

The new animation seems ok as of now. A bit slow sometimes. I hope you guys could have a landscape option for answering calls. :P

The new lockscreen (ring) should be moved a little bit to the center. Its currently more on the left and the right. I hope you could have an option there to immediately turn on the flashlight without requiring password. Anyway that's what on my mind because when you put a custom app for torch/flashlight it always ask for password. I just want an instant launch from the lockscreen without passwords. (for emergencies)

Im using MW600 and its really nice to know that 7.2 have this support for bluetooth showing up the title of the songs. Not so sure about contacts displaying when someone is calling (no one called me yet. :P)

Anyway im just sharing my ideas and my experience with 7.2. Im waiting for the final release for this one and possible updates and features.
[Desire Android Development] sander151187:
For me it does
[Desire Android Development] 19blacktiger77:
I did the install with EXT4 and get bootloop. Make the modify in file /system/etc/init.d/05mountsd ( changing the word ext3 to ext4), rom start, but no app installed. Change Ext4 in Ext3 and convert backup with 4EXT Touch Recovery, and it work. ;)

Not sure if this issue is UOT related or related to the rom but I modded the notification bar icons to G7 so they were monochrome however they don't stick and keep changing between CM and UOT seemingly randomly. Illustrate my point

CM

UOT

Any information required I'll do my best to get.
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
What I know is that the rom has the cianbread theme as default. you probably used the upload framework-res.apk and systemui method on uot kitchen. Try to go to the themes app and set it to System theme. That should apply the default theme, or in other words your uot theme.
[Desire Android Development] rdmack:

Hi Guys!

Hope you can help me. I am still using 7.1, waiting for a stable release for 7.2.

I have just faced a really serious issue... I can not connect my phone to Car Audio via Bluetooth... Its says its paired but not connected... Every other phone can be paired without any problem, and I even managed to do it with my desire with another rom...

Could you help me please?

Thank in advance!

I have to report a issue with the 7.2 RC1 Rom. I had a black screen in rebooting in absence of GSM/3G signal. I was forced to remove the battery two or three times before understand the possible problem.
