I would like a Windows 8 tablet, if only to play with. I haven't even tested it out yet though, so I may monkey with it for a few days and realize I hate it. I wouldn't want to give up my Android love though, in my opinion its the best out at the moment. Either way, I'd have to get another tablet, just so I don't screw up my A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] Danny2:
You can download the Windows 8 preview from Microsofr, try it out on a desktop, see what you think.
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
Obviously there'll be no out of the box support for arbitrary devices, but the lack of (community) support for non official devices is purely speculation at this point.

Really, it could go either way at this point. I'm sure someone will at least try, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least a broken version partially running on existing tablets in a year.

That being said, don't hold your breath on it, because there's also a very real possibility it won't happen.

Also, mtmerrick, you can post links of yourself posting links to yourself all you want, that doesn't change the fact that you're spouting one possibility as truth, and noone knows a damn thing about what's going to happen. It also makes you look like a ****.
[Continuum General] DJMaj07:
Hey guys,

I'm running the Miunia ROM and I've noticed for the past week or so that my phone has been force closing things a lot. The phone may just be sitting there, and I'll hear it vibrate once, then vibrate 3 times quickly in succession (which I think means a force close?). But I can't see what is force closing; no popup shows up. Which leads me to think a background app is constantly force closing for some reason... even though there is usually enough free memory.

Additionally, I play Scramble with friends and Draw something. When exiting the games (using the back button), my home screen always shows up as blank. It takes it several seconds for all of my icons and my widget to reappear. I'm thinking Zeam Launcher is being closed and I don't know how to make sure it always stays running. There is plenty of memory, so I don't understand why the phone consistently closes it and forces me to wait until it reloads.

I would ask Miunia's Dev but I am still under the 10 post limit. Can anyone help me with these 2 problems? Despite initially running very well and quick, Miunia is beginning to show some serious problems. I'm considering flashing a different ROM if I can't fix these issues, because I'm tired of dealing with them.

Thanks
[Continuum General] Sccrluk9:
I always had a ton of forecloses in the background. I would upgrade to I've of the ec09 roms though. Pat has made a new rom for that and I doubt will updating munia anymore
[Continuum General] imnuts:
logcat will show you what is force closing, even if it is a background app/process. If you're going to be hacking your phone, I'd consider it a must learn thing as it is very helpful to find out what is going on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
Hi folks,

Just to see how the use of the phone is like here, what's the longest you've ever kept the display on continuously and what app/game were you running? :D

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DPMAce:
For me it's got to be close to 10 - 12 hours. I may have turned it off a couple of times in that period to use the restroom or eat, but you can assume it's almost constantly on.

I was using the studydroid app, and then intermittently surfing the web.

Yeah it's a Galaxy Note, are you jealous?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
Hot damn, was it plugged into a charger or something? Longest I've been able to touch is 4 hours of screen time before the battery is drained. But then again, I'm also doing it whilst playing a game.

Lawl, I'm surprised that the battery lasted that long.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaypeezee:
Just watched "The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo" on my flight from LAX > NYC... was planning on watching a second/third movie but was too afraid of killing my bat and not being able to access hopstop when we arrived =/ That sure was not the case! I had over 70% battery left even after using it to surf/listen to music at the airport before our flight...

Love this battery! Using stock LC1
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dekky18:
I have average 3 and half hours of display time in regular day. Using note from 12h-16h on full battery to about 10%.

Im happy with it but i see other people getting better results... Hmmm:-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foosho:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Goodm7sn:
My maximum was between 3 to4 hours screen on, playing around with phone or surfing web, couldn't get it past that without battery going under 10%.

How others managed to get 6 or 10 hours screen on time ! ? ? Or u guys meant the whole battery uptime?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
About 34 hours (plugged to ac adaptor). For online webcast. It has not touched for about ~34 hours. Standing on a shelf with a running Safari browser (stock browser) at flash online translation of video conference. Wifi on, screen always on with SwitchPro widget.

6-7 hours,while playing/observing chess on ICC App. the setting was to stay the screen on which comes as an option in the application itself,it was on battery but didnt notice how much was left after the session as it was already past five in the morning

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CyberGhos:
Have any of you experienced the burnt in yet? Look carefully!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
34 hours, that's a record so far for continuous use!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DPMAce:
If I'm using the stock battery, I can only get about 7 - 10hours max. But since I use the hyperion extended battery, I can usually get over 14 hours. Hyperion battery last longer than I can lol. Keep in mind studydroid doesn't drain nearly as much battery as watching a movie or playing a game.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
I would make sure you guys are using launchers that hide the notification bar or apps that have the option to hide the notification bar. Otherwise you will have terrible burn out on the top of the screen.

Also try to rotate the phone from right to left when viewing in landscape as that will help prevent burn out.

If you don't think your amoled screen can burn out do an LCD test and take a look at the blue screen test....Then you'll see why you should not leave static images on the screen for long periods of time.

Samsung Screen Test:

type this into the phone dialer and press on the blue and green.

*#*#0*#*#*
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
The burn in is not permanent. Due to the volatile nature of AMOLED in terms of obtaining burn-ins, I'm fairly certain you can download clips to flush and reduce the burn-in's persistence. :)

After a while, just use the damn phone and enjoy it. Stop worrying. :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] werks:
i get like 3 hrs max just browsing the net. wtf!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xeq544:
Browsing the internet is taxing on the cpu, it changes frequency constantly etc. When you are watching for example a movie, the cpu stays at a constant, lowest possible frequency and consumes less power. Thats why tests on engadget usually show 6-8 hours of screen on time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
The burn out of the amoled pixels is permanent. They slowly fade until you can clearly see ghosting of the static image on top of an active screen. This has happened with my galaxy s and sII. So to prevent pixel wear avoid static images on amoled screens.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
What launcher would you recommend besides the default TW to get rid of the notification bar then?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
I use launcher pro. I know adw launcher also allows you hide the notification bar on the home screens.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MeshMage:
A while, I guess.

I guess about 2 ~ 3 hours while watching anime. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DPMAce:
I use my note more and for a longer period of time than most people on this forum. But I haven't noticed any burn in. But now I'm paranoid. So maybe watch a movie on it every so often. Hope this slows the process down.

I gave my Epic away to my mom back when we were all on ec05. Now that she's on EL30?, she's got a severe battery drain. I look at the usage and battery stats say gpsd is using the most. She never uses gps so i don't know why this is occuring.

Anyone know how I can fix it? She's running stock.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octavian90:
Auto brightness seems to behave very unpredictably--when I wake my phone and unlock/use it, it will remain at dimmest setting (too dim), and will seemingly randomly move to a more appropriate brightness (not with intense activity, it's really random), and will again randomly revert to dim setting (not with stoppage of activity).

Is auto brightness messed up with android or the note, and how can I fix it? Just set a manual brightness level?

Running cassie x lite rom and latest franco kernel btw.

Automatic brightness issue

Hello Friends, I have a similar problem as the OP, octavian90.

For my Galaxy Note, following the sequence below,

Applications > Settings > Display > Brightness

By default the slider for Automatic brightness is towards the middle/centre.

I have unchecked Automatic brightness and calibrated the slider to the extreme left.

I have come across the following strange observations -

1] When I unplug my device after charging, the slider resets to the default level.

2] After I recalibrate it to the extreme left once again and make a phone (voice) call, the slider resets to the default level over again.

Is this normal behaviour or does my device actually have a problem? I am very confused and worried. The device is not even a month old.

:confused:

Eagerly awaiting your expertise. Thank you octavian90 for initiating this topic.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YLNdroid:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoonHD2:
Have you disabled the screen saver or what its called that adjust the brightness automaticly.? Works like a auto brightness but it can adjust some things brighter and some dimmer eaven on same light....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempusFudgeIt:
I just checked my settings and the have the slider all the way to the right because last time I manually adjusted brightness for reading in full daylight. It is currently on automatic brightness (I prefer that setting and don't find it changes too often or too laggy)

I just then manually adjusted slider to about 20% from left while on USB charge then turned automatic back on again. I then removed charger and it still shows automatic and slider about 20% from left.

Could be a ROM/Kernel issue? I am using Rocket ROM with Franco Kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
I don't think the position of the slider matters when backlight is set to auto. Or does it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempusFudgeIt:
No it doesn't matter when on autobrightness. But it should remember the last manual setting chosen so not sure what is causing that glitch.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
Hm never really paid attention to the behaviour of the slider. I will take a look and report back how mine works.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
What I found out: On my device the position of the slider before activating auto mode is completely irrelevant because as soon as I activate the auto mode the slider is reset to its middle position.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempusFudgeIt:
Interesting - just turned autobrightness of and you are right - slider went to the middle. Must be by design then. Problem solved :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YLNdroid:
Sorry SoonHD2, I did not understand what you meant. I am confused with the screensaver part you stated. :o

A humble request for an explanation, if required. Thank you. :)

This happens with my Galaxy Note as well. Thus, it seems like it is meant to be this way. :)

I will keep an eye on this and report if and when the Auto brightness slider acts differently.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigjoe87865:
Hi, I haven't been an xda user in a while , I used to love tinkering around with my phones all day long.

now, I life has been taking over and I don't have the time to try out new stuff all day long.

that being said, the last rom I tried was a team whiskey bionix v1.3.1 sometime in early 2011 . I don't even think I wiped anything since.

I want a new rom, I feel like my phone is getting sluggish. I don't want to try roms that is going to make the phone slower, or is made for a faster phone (assuming ICS would be out of the question for me)

should I just stick with my current rom and wipe everything? I didn't have any complaints with it.

or are there better ones out now that wont compromise performance.

also another important thing for me is audio quality and saw many recommendations for voodoo sound. I don't have a kernal that supports it. I am running 2.6.32.9 jaeyoon.yoon

so pretty much what is the best rom and kernal combination for me that has no bugs, everything will run nice and snappy on. I don't want to experiment around anymore. I will straight up run the most recommended one.

many thanks in advance
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atatistcheff:
I was in the same boat as you. I loaded Bionix back in February of last year and hadn't touched my phone's ROM since. For some reason I decided to see if there was anything new and sure enough ICS ROMs were available.

I love being on the cutting edge but my phone has to work too. I travel a lot and when I'm on the road I need to be able to depend on the phone working reliably. Looking at the ROMs available I went with the one with the most forum activity - that was ICS Passion. I flashed it first and was immediately impressed. Most everything works with the exception of the speakerphone which, while it does work, it seems like it picks up a lot of background noise.

Since then I've tried a few others but based on reliability and some UI preferences I went back to Passion. There are several battery mods which is nice, I like the Newborn3 battery style myself.

The other thing I've experimented with is the Kernel. I settled on the Glitch kernel because it seems the fastest to me and has no problem with the lock screen. It has Voodoo stuff which I honestly don't use much. The kernel does have issues creating a Nandoid backup but I never use those either ;-)

After using ICS I will not go back. In fact even the newer phones such as the SGS2 hold no attraction for me until there is a good ICS ROM available.

Hope that helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bones192nd:
First off thank you bigjoe87865 for posting your question as I was in a similar situation. I previously had Axura and it was way too buggy and slugish. I finally had it the other night and started researching posts on the best rom and saw your question.

Second, atatistcheff, you installed ICS Passion and eventually you put the Glitch kernel. What was the reasoning in going about in installing this kernel and not using what was supplied with ICS passion? Would I enjoy my phone with just using ICS?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
Was in the same boat as you until this week - long time Froyo user (Trigger and Bi-winning) for the past year. The GB roms always seemed to be too much trouble and not very practical.

After seeing all the positive feedback on the ICS ROMs, I figured I'd give it a shot and installed ICS Passion this week. Was immediately impressed with the speed, stability and functionality. Only problem I has was the battery life - it was simply awful. Saw posts regarding the battery life of SlimICS and flashed it on Friday. Works just as well as Passion, with the battery life I'm used from my Froyo ROMs. My single complaint is that the stock kernel doesn't support Voodoo sound, but I can do without that for the time being.

Long answer short: there's pretty much no reason to avoid ICS at this point - I'm a very light GPS user, so this is not a priority for me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atatistcheff:
Passion always had a nagging issue with the lock screen for me. That is every few times when I pressed the power button to wake the phone up it would not respond. I'd have to press several times to get it to wake up. I've seen this issue posted about several times. It's really not serious and as with most issues YMMV. I think you'd be fine with Passion and the stock kernel. I like Glitch because the lock screen issue is non-existant and it seems to work fine with Passion.

I'm not going to accuse you of anything, but this is EXACTLY how we at AT&T scratch the phones so that the 3M double sided tape holds better on the security devices. I believe your phone is a stolen model that belongs to AT&T or some other 3rd party associated to AT&T.
