[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] N1NJATH3ORY:
HI im just downloading as im typing this Galaxy note unlocked UK Spec i did flash the Car phone WareHouse firmware last month is this ICS??? Any one else tried updating there Note today ???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
Doubtful, think ICS will be a full wipe, probably around 500mb.

I went to see if there were any updates for mine on O2 and got really excited when a 2 part Samsung disclaimer came up... Then realised I had to refresh recently and this was the first time I'd done an ota search :p

Rest easy, it will come soon enough :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
It will just be the LC1/LB2 update. An ICS update would be significantly larger than ~100MB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Serj Alexandrov:
I just got the update last night and you are correct it is the LC1 update. Just wondering though would the change log be the same for this version as the roms? If not where could we find the change log ? The only real difference I've noticed is the S memo menu now has an option to only detect S pen input and the lock screen has changed slightly. Any other info would be greatly appreciated :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bassarnis:
Samsung doesn't release changelogs for firmware updates. If i am not mistaken, they released a powerpoint/pdf showing the touchwiz differences from GB to ICS for the galaxy S II.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] _pigro_:
only other notable (sorry!) change is the option for a "one-handed" portrait keyboard and removal of banding on black images (eg. lockscreen) which previously affected some devices.

Several folks have said that the s-pen accuracy is improved and the lag is decreased too. I think I've noticed that too - while I'm pretty sure the s-pen can now be much more accurately positioned on-screen, the lagginess improvement may be pure placebo (the phone UI is in general slightly more smooth after the update, and the brain does funny things sometimes).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrodsep:
Hi guys. I'm experiencing something that is taken away from my great experience so far using android. A couple of weeks ago I downloaded gReader (free edition) to read my feeds. Everything went fine until I used the help/about page. When I used this part of the app I was sent to a porn ad. Thinking that it was a problem isolated to that part of the app I didn't use the help section again. Today after I downloaded ChompSMS and set it up, I went to send a text and the app redirected me to another porn page.

What the hell is up with that? I was running AVG antivirus but it didn't block the ad. I have downloaded now Avast antivirus because my brother recommended this app as being better that AVG.

Now I ask of all of you. What can I do to prevent this from happening? I'm running stock 4.0.2 on a GSM Nexus. I have only downloaded apps from the store and 4 apps from the web (amazon appstore, volume+ from devs web site, get jar from official site and play store update from xda). Any help will be very appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Did you uninstall the original app (gReader) and made sure all of its contents were cleared?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephoneguyusa:
Well I think your phone is tying to seduce you... Man what can't this amazing phone do!

sent from my GSM Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrodsep:
I downloaded the app directly from the play store and chompsms as well. Don't understand the part of the contents cleared.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Easiest way to stop ads is to root your phone and install adfree from the market (or play store as its now known).

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrodsep:
Is there any solution without rooting? I don't want to void my warranty...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You won't void your warranty by rooting...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Rooting is considered tampering as far as the manufacturers terms go. It would void the warranty if rooting was related to the problem you are experiencing when sending the phone in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You forget that you can eliminate ALL traces of root, so you cannot tell the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrodsep:
I'm very new to the android eco-system. Do I have to unlock the bootrom to perform root?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No you don't. There is thread in the general section with instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akoepke:
Instead of going through the process of rooting your phone and installing an ad blocker how about just ditching the app that is causing the porn ads.

If you don't know which app is doing this then download Lookout Ad Network Detector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Good point. There is also Add-ons Detector and Air Push Detector as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Unfortunately, some hardware issues make it impossible to unroot your device, so that wouldn't be an option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Well, I guess you are right.

Basically, the things that could happen to prevent you from not being able to "unroot" are the following:

1) Device does not power on; or

2) USB port stops working. But in this case, there are still ways to "unroot" in most instance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
If your usb port isn't working, chances are you can't charge your phone and it won't have power to reverse the root.

Either way, if Samsung deems your device was broken because of rooting, then you're screwed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
I recommend Adaway instead of AdFree too (that is after you unlock and root your phone). Extremely rare when I see an ad in anything. AdFree I was seeing ads still. That was the worst part when I got my Android was all the BS popups and inline ads, it drove me nuts in less than 3 days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwiggington:
Did you uncheck interest based ads if so could be a bad app

Sent from my Apple Mac 2 in 1983
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Yeah, adaway seems to work better, although I wish we had the equivalent of noscripts for the default browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrodsep:
Thanks again to mskip for suggesting rooting and installing adfree. But I have rooted and found that adaway works best and I have no more unwanted pop up ads. Thanks again to all that helped
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Yep that would be definitely cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulHarris:
I would Prefer Add-ons Detector...

Welcome to the E4GT family! Just a couple things to know 1) Stay away from ROM Manager 2) Stay away from CWM Touch or any temp recoveries 3) Be very careful when using an ICS recovery (for now atleast til all the kinks are fixed) such as Rogue Repacks. Have fun!

Rom manager great for flash if used to boot into cwm recovery when using a steady repacked kernel. Never wipe data or reset in recovery when using an ics recovery. Use calks zip to wipe. Partitions changed in ICS and you will brick your phone

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlf55:
Hello, i'm new in this forum, i was hesitating about pass to ICS, i have a SGS 2.3.3 ( Kies update Belgium ) and i read and read a lot of tutorial here about how to update manualy his phone

I have some question about that,

What does ICS do more than Gingerbread ? I mean apart by his theme and these kind of thing.. Like does we gain in battery life ? Is it faster ?

Thanks and sorry for my english, i'm still a student :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Generally battery life goes worse on custom roms. Nobody is sure why, but it just happens.

What does it do more? For starter you can use Chrome app, which syncs your desktop Chrome browser bookmark with your mobile app. Then there's the movie and photo editor. The ICS camera also has more function. The stock samsung camera app already has panoramic mode, but the ics camera app has funny video functions that modifies your face - long face, big eye, big nose, small mouth, etc. Not really useful, but fun nevertheless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CyberManiaK:
I have read a lot of threads regarding battery life.. But I really don't care having 2 days with 3 or 4 hrs of screen time.

My deep sleep is actually very good 96%-97% in 8 hours... But I want to know what to do to minimize the battery USING the phone while browsing.. Screen brightness I always have it a lowest possible.. Also have it UV a bit, using LiLRom 1.5.1 with entropy 3/5 right now is dropping like 1% in 3-4min... Is there anything else I can do to increase the time for lets say around 6-8min ? I guess 10min/1% will be impossible..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
80% of the power usage is due to the screen. That's the price we pay for amoled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Disabling "Use Wireless Networks" under Location and Security in Settings helps.

That will stop the apps that you are using from unnecessarily polling your location. For example, I've seen Facebook turn on GPS every time I access it even when all I am doing is checking my Wall. Turning off above mentioned option prevents this.

If your browsing the forums, you need to use the black theme in Tapatalk (xda premium). Black is our friend for battery. Could also drop your CPU/GPU clock down 1 step, but the screen will be #1.

I'll write a guide soon then post it in my battery thread. All suggestions will be welcome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CyberManiaK:
Yup, guess you are right, but I think it´s possible to get a bit more usage.

Well I use Facebook on web, that way I don´t have to deal with all the wakelocks it produce.. But anyway thank you for your suggestion.

Well I don´t browse only the forums. You mean messing around with the bus freq. for the CPU/GPU ??

Because that thread is focused mainly on battery drain while sleeping and if you read my initial post I already have that sorted out.. here I am asking for USING the phone, not overnight drainage.

Yeah I have read your thread and is a very nice one but the problem on that thread is that it became some sort of competition of which combo rom/kernel have the better battery for a period of days.. And not squezing the most of screen ON but using the phone. I did some test a few months ago, and if only the screen is ON but without touching the phone it will get nice times. But once you start touching the phone is when the power consumption is bumped.

But will be nice to see a guide with some values to mess with freq,mv,etc.. to get a balanced consumption between usage and performance..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Well, that was just an example. I too don't use the FB app anymore. The focus was on disabling the "Use Wireless Networks" option :)

I am trying to crowd-source what people do to get good battery over here in an xda thread. If you add your settings to that form (after jumping to that post), it may help telling you and others as to what settings help towards and against good battery life.

hello every one iam just got my S I9000 ( not plus ) i want links for tutorials about how to root my phone and get the newest baseband and i want link for the best kernel and rom ( best rom in graphics/speed/games )

thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
First of all, there's no such thing as the best rom - it's like trying to compare apple and oranges and saying one's better than the other. I usually recommend people to start with stock-based roms (so no AOKP or cyanogen mods) simply because it's closer to the stock rom and usually to flash.

As for rooting your phone, if you are already planning to flash a new rom, there's not much point in rooting it now. All custom roms are rooted. If still want to learn to root (which might actually be a good starting point), you need to tell us what firmware you are currently on.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] flashman2002:
Use Mattgroffs razr utility. It allows you to unroot. But there really is no point in removing it as it wont effect the phone. The only reason you would really need to have it gone is if you had to turn your phone in for a replacement.

Is mattgroffs utility different from doomlords? I wanted it gone just on the off chance something does go wrong, no point having it on my phone of it its rooted.
