Yeah, I had a crack in the digitizer glass. I bought a used ebay screen for $50 and replaced it myself. Works like a charm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Underground_XI:
I am experiencing a weird issue with my intl note. whenever I go to smemo and try using handwriting option the pen leaves no marks on the screen. it works fine taking screenshots or with other tasks but it just does not work when comes to handwriting. any suggestions would be appreciated!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] markovianmind:
just to be sure, are u pressing the push button on s-pen while writing. Coz if u do then it will not take notes
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] finnybro:
yeh... the button...

Make sure you aren't pressing the button.

Or else you might need to head down to the shops and buy some digital ink!
[HD2 General] szymciosek:
Which system is better ?

Android ? Windows Mobile ? Windows Phone ? And why ?

Thanks for responses.
[HD2 General] slybunda:
windows mobile and windows phone are the fastest and smoothest operating systems to run on the phone. android runs slow and sluggish with poor battery life because of incomplete driver support on the hd2.
[HD2 General] jackpku:
Windows mobile is better.Android need more RAM.
[HD2 General] rainor94:
Android ICS runs very well and is very smooth. Android is best on this phone imo.
[HD2 General] harmonikas996:
If you are a business man then - Windows, if you're a boy hungry applications and games - Android ICS ;)
[HD2 General] slybunda:
seen android run on devices with less than 256mb ram, so hd2 is deffo capable with its 448mb ram.
[HD2 General] 433Mhz:
Windows Mobile is too old. It is as if you were using Windows ME. And there are no apps, of course.

Android runs very well but not as good as on the top single core devices like the galaxy s or desire s.

WP7 is the smoothest but the Android OS offers so much more.
[HD2 General] htccraze:
What this really comes down to is personal preference. As 433Mhz stated there are some trade off's between the two. WP7 does run nice and smooth on this phone but doesn't offer as much as Android. For the novice person or every day user WP7 is just fine but if you would like a but more then Andoid is what you should be looking at. ICS does run quite well on this phone without any glitches, hold ups or any other problems. Besides ICS there are several ROMs that run great on this phone and i know i will stick with Android but like i said, this is based on personal preference.
[HD2 General] whywolf:
you can't expect a satisfactory answer. If you can tell us what you want to do with it it's much easier than talking giving advices in general.

I'm using Android because of:

- there's an app market (google play)

- many navigation and open maps apps

- many tools for synchronization and data x-fer

I don't use Windows:

- no market any more

- less apps

But one thing maybe true (I can't say it with certainty):

if you wnat to synchronize it with you outlook and this is your main usage then stay with windows.

Battery life is the same with windows and android - that's my rough experience...
[HD2 General] Celestion:
"Businessman"

I have bought my HD2 with Win 6.1. Then the Win 6.5 update came, and I was satisfied, though still waiting for Win 7 (official). However, after a while, I have given up waiting (and I have learned that it is very restricted, like Apple :-)) and switched for android (Froyo). Now, I am using GB (2.3.5.):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733649

(sorry for the "marketing" :-))

It is essential for my to keep my PID synchronized with Outlook, and without any clouding (e.g. through Google account). That is why I always chose Sense ROMs, for they offer the HTC Sync which is flawless.

So even for a businessman (I am actually a researcher, but I consider my phone-usage similar to that of a businessman), I can recommend android:

- it is new, up-to-date, versatile (office, entertainment, gaming)

- tons of apps (even for free)

- no restrictions (like Win 7), especially after rooting :-)

- safe (backup and restore, sync)
[HD2 General] tikuh:
I like android much more then windows.... there so many app and tweak,mod, games huhu.....i think we can make ios for HD2 hehe...:D
[HD2 General] wavesshock:
I switched to Windows Phone 7 although I'm really an Android fanboy. I love the amount of Android apps, but on WP 7 side everything looks more polished and with its specs the HD2 is capable of running the OS really smoothly and without any glitch or hick up. Now I use WP 7 primarly
[HD2 General] pttruc87:
If you want your HD2 to be a making-receiving call device == WinMo 6.5

If you want your HD2 to be a nice looking PDA with quite enough features == WinMo 7

But if you want your HD2 to be a super killer tool to archieve every tasks you want, the only answer is Android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
A deal came across that I could not turn down someone was selling a brand new 55inch 3d smart tv and a 3d bluray player with 2 pair of 3d glasses for a $1,800 dollars I said all I had was $1,000 truth is I had $400 bucks on me and my note and after 15 minutes they called and told me they would take the $1,000 so I put my note on Craigslist and sold it in a half hour and I know I got a good but I miss my note and I was wondering do I get another note this week when I get paid or do I wait for the gs3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mark1s:
If I was you I would wait for the Galaxy Note 2.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gotshoaib:
HTC one X or HTC one XL or Sony Xperia S or get back to Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
I'd say resell the 3d TV. They were getting rid of it for a reason.

Then buy another note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
they sold me the tv because they really needed the cash the tv is 2 months old i have the original receipt and the tv is still under warranty
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] *Omnipresent*:
Enjoy your new 3d smart hdtv while you wait for the HTC One X or the GS3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Flustered:
Where is the receipt from? Best Buy?

You might not have a sweet a deal as you think, because there have been some great specials on the Samsung UN55D6900.

And as far as him having the original receipt, you can get an original receipt for anything. You buy whatever item you want a receipt for at full retail price using your credit card, get and put the receipt somewhere, then take it back to the store and say you lost the receipt but you purchased it using a credit card. They check the purchase using the credit card and that's it, you just returned an item but kept the original receipt.

And to keep this post on topic, buy this: http://bit.ly/H2YK5F
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joshnichols189:
While a valid point, I don't see anyone going through the trouble to do this for something as large as a television. I can see it being on sale and being flipped on Craigslist but not the original receipt method, unless someone (and I know these people exist), was very dedicated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
Yea I even took the receipt back and got the extended warranty on the tv the fact is I know the people and remember them buying it they are not strangers they even saved all the original packaging and I figured it would be easier for me to get another note then it would to get a tv like this ya know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:

No brainier for 1,000 with the free BD player and glasses included. If you need an extended warranty I suggest squaretrade through Costco. 99 for 3 years, it doesn't matter if you bought the TV there or not or whether you are a member or not (they charge an extra 5% to non members)

Screen Capture Shortcut

I installed "Screen Capture Shortcut" by tomorrowkey on my Captivate forever ago. It sits in your notification area and you can set the delay until capture. I have since rooted, but have not yet bothered to look for another screen capture.

(I got it so long ago, I checked to make sure I could still find it. Both AndroidPit and Google Play list it - but Google Play says it's not compatible with my device! So I have not tried to download it again myself for fear of messing up the working install I have. Sorry I cannot yet post links...)

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] afcrib:
Hi all! Since I've got more then 100 downloads in the first 2 themes I've decided to launch the 3rd one with a thread :)

These themes are made for ICS dock tho they can be used on other bases, and they are a product of some research of themes available on other places (except theme 2 my creation) with a lot of tweaks and adds made by me so they feel more complete. Except theme 1 all others were made from scratch, taking some hours in front of pc :rolleyes:

They need a bit of work to set them up but i think its not much for the result. All the step by step tutorials are in the zip files, as most of the things you need.

For those that don't have photoshop i uploaded the PNG files of the themes (only problem is you can't change wallpapers, icons, text, anything). Still you will be able to have the theme :)

I'm not an expert and I don't present myself as one, I just love these themes and decided to share them with you guys and hope you all enjoy them. ;)

These themes are not to FLASH or to use with cm9 theme chooser!! Please read the guide

What android version you have? If you have 4.0 then you should choose in multipicture setup on Workaround for some ap.. the "For Honeycomb Tablet"

If you are with lower version dont choose "None". If still doesn't work try more in that part.

hi all,

ive just installed 4ext recovery touch on my evo 3d (gsm).

I have cwm already installed and ROM manager.

can I remove cwm and ROM manager now that im using 4ext recovery?

and 4ext recovery is great!
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Yes, you can uninstall Rom manager. But don't delete the clockworkmod folder on your sd, it holds your backups and 4ext can restore those.

And if you flashed 4ext, cwm recovery is gone.
[HTC EVO 3D] boru6:
thanks wikd,

if i remove rom manager will the folder containing those backups remain?

just a thought im going to copy all backups to my pc.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
It should stay, I've flashed a lot or roms and that essentially uninstalls it, but my folder stays.
[HTC EVO 3D] boru6:
thanks again wikd,

I copied all backups and roms to my pc,ive now removed rom manager and cwm backup folder is still there.

have checked with es file explorer all seems well !

and again 4ext (free) is great.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] defriend:
Hi,

I have a Samsung Captivate (running AT&T stock 2.3.5, unlocked) and am almost about to pull the trigger on the Skyrocket (late to the party.. I know). What am I getting into? I keep reading about ICS delays, unable to root, unlock etc. Is it worth it?

I thought about waiting for S3, but maybe not.

Go ahead, do your best, talk me out of the S2 Skyrocket..

Regards

Nick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wasabiman123:
Don't get the Skyrocket, your better off waiting for the S3 for sure, or the HTC One series, basically our phone, although a great one, sadly has little to nothing going for it anymore versus any new phones coming in the next few months, basically there's no point getting the Skyrocket anymore. Hope that helped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] defriend:
Which one specifically from HTC? I love the Samsung screens. Have noticed that the HTC screens looked "washed out" - is that still the case?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wasabiman123:
Well it depends what carrier you're on, no one knows for sure which phones from the One series are gonna land on what carrier, but ATT will probably get the higher end One X, while Sprint might get the One S. Also I think the new HTC phones use Super LCD 2, so might not be that bad, worse than AMOLED tech for sure but probably fine tbh. Also I think the new Sony Xperia phones are coming out too, those might now have the craziest specs but they're really nicely designed and are gonna have some of the better cameras to be on phones this year :D For those you'll want thr Xperia Ion, look it up it's a beautiful device ^^
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] marvin02:
I have had my Skyrocket for about a month and love it. I rooted it and removed a bunch of the AT&T and Samsung stuff, but it is otherwise stock.

I came from the Dell Streak/Venue family of phones. They worked very well but the Streak was too big (5 inch screen) for everyday use and the 4 inch screen of the Dell Venue was just too small. The 4.5 inch screen of the Skyrocket is just right :D for my needs.

The Skyrocket is very snappy and unless I have a heavy use day the battery lasts all days for me (12-14 hours). Today has been light use, almost none really, and the battery is at 73% after 13 hours. Most days I am in the 25-30% range after 18 hours.

I use Launcher Pro as my home launcher and am not big on widgets that update. I do not use twitter or facebook, but do have 3 push email accounts that I use K-9 for. My biggest non-phone uses are as an e-reader (Kindle, Nook) and as an mp3 player (usually wired directly to the vehicle radio*).

I use the GPS 4 or 5 times a week to check traffic with Google maps or look for alternate routes due to an accident. The gps locks fast and I have had zero issues with it.

Right now a refurbished Skyrocket is $20 with a new contract at the at&t web site. This is what I paid for mine.

* For the connection to the vehicle radio I use a Scosche cable. It includes a mic and makes the phone hands free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fukenbiker:
what phone to wait for...

Good suggestions ideas and experiences already posted, I thought I'd share how my wife now enjoys her new Samsung Galaxy Note. It is HUGE. Too big for me to carry in my pocket so I'm stickin' with my skyrocket. She has a purse instead of a pocket, and her eyes are even worse than my own so a bigger screen was a no brainer. It's a nice phone, that note, it sure is. Nice big screen, seriously.

This skyrocket I use is pretty darn good, suits all my needs. I rooted it with no problem, and I flashed a version of cyanogenmod on it, and it's flawless. Cyanowiz it's called here in the forums for skyrocket. It eliminates all the AT&T carrier IQ, so I can turn on the wifi hotspot and let my friend at work use it, as his Sprint service and signal is sub-par, and it makes his iphone 4 go faster. Downside of showing off like that is it blows the lid off my tiered data plan.

(no ICS yet, heard it was buggy anyway)

I'm not sure how much better a device can get, I hear rumors of an Iphone 5 and mentioned by you is a S3? Cool! Perhaps hanging in there with the captivate a bit longer will yield an even faster more modern device.

I'll just say the difference between the skyrocket and the captivate is a dual core processor and yes it's faster, but if we're talkin' out of pocket expense as something to consider, it pays to stay a tad out of date and content with what you already have! If you're eligible for upgrade, you're also eligible to kick AT&T to the curb with no extra cost and consider other carriers. I'd talk to neighbors and friends about the performance of Verizon etc, instead of automatically just starting a new 2 year contract with AT&T, check all your options.

Hope that helps decide.
