[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChicoKiri:
You can reflash the modem of the i717 for full 3G compatibility on T-mobile AWS bands, so that might be an advantage over the n7000. Moreover, with the recent Skyrocket ICS leak, I'd expect to see some sort of ICS on the i717 within the next couple of weeks.

If you're not overly concerned about warranty, I'd honestly recommend picking up an i717 on Craigslist/eBay and taking it to a prepaid AT&T MVNO like Red Pocket or Straight Talk. If you're in an area where T-Mobile offers better service, eBay can get you an unlock code for $25, then just flash the proper modem and head to T-Mo prepaid or Simple Mobile. Either way, you're looking at $45-60 a month.

While performance may be marginally better on the n7000, I found the i717 to be in no way lacking after two weeks of use. The biggest deciding factors for me was cost. I wanted the security of a manufacturer's warranty, and Expansys offered a new n7000 for less than I could pick up an i717 here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teseract666:
Hmm, I'd never heard of Red Pocket. It appears they have coverage anywhere AT&T does. The $60 for unlimited talk/text/2gb data is appealing and I'd not have to worry about contracts and such...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChicoKiri:
If you're looking into the MVNOs, I've heard Jolt Mobile offers better service than Red Pocket at the same price. Either way, Red Pocket apparently has the nasty issue where, if you try to re-up your plan a few days early, you lose the last few days of the plan and the new billing cycle starts up the day you pay. I've heard of no such issue with Jolt.

I'm personally opting for Straight Talk next month. They recently started offering sim cards for their AT&T and T-Mobile services. They market an "unlimited everything" plan for $45/month, but the truth is if you go over 100MB a day, you risk them cutting off your service. That's not an issue for me, as I don't even hit 100MB a week, but some users prefer the comfort of using 2GB whenever/however they want. If you go over with RP/Jolt, they just cut off data until the next month.

Moreover, Straight Talk is one of the few AT&T MVNOs to get access to AT&T's roaming partners. Most others are limited to just the AT&T towers. It's something to consider if you travel a lot.

As of now, none of them have access to AT&T's LTE service, so regardless of the device you choose, you'd be limited to HSPA+ service, which really isn't a bad "limit" at all. If you're concerned about battery life, SAUROM for the i717 is based on the Canadian i717 ROM, and it gives you the option to turn LTE off. Obviously not an issue with the n7000.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teseract666:
I think I'm just going to suck it up and get the I717... I have my eyes on an amp for my home theater and it pretty well goes out the window for lack of funds if I get the N7000. Hopefully AT&T doesn't sit on the ICS upgrade for too long compared to the N7000.

If I didn't get a discount for service through my employer it would probably be a different story.

That and with my luck I'd have to ship the thing back to the UK for warranty service when something went wrong with it...

Thanks for your input guys.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teseract666:
Ruh roh... it looks like AT&T is going to be a pain about my credit. Odd since Verizon and T-mo never had any issues (though T-mo made me pay a $50 deposit).

I may have to go International after all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChicoKiri:
Been toying with the n7000 that came in today.

Handles videos like a champ, but not much better than the i717. 8bit 720p mkvs still fly, thanks to hardware decoding. 10bit 720p mkvs resort to software decoding and stutter.

I've tried two video players for the 10bit video. MoboPlayer plays them full-speed, but there are plenty of graphical glitches like color wash out and excessive blockiness. MX Video Player plays without graphical issue, but video is somewhat slow and stuttery. I'm hoping an overclock kernel will help.

Ocarina of Time ran more smoothly than it did on my i717. Still not entirely smooth, but definitely playable.

As far as functionality, LTE was always out of the question, but I apparently traded the NFC chip for an fm radio. That's actually worthwhile to me, as I attend several events over the year that broadcast audio over local fm.

I am -not- enjoying this home button. I've got fairly large hands, so I haven't had much issue using the Note one-handedly. The issue is with the capacitive buttons. Since I hold the Note in my left hand, on the i717, I could comfortably reach the Menu, Home, and Back buttons with my left thumb. I never used the Search button. On the n7000, what used to be the Back button is now the edge of the Home button, and the Back button is pushed further to the side. It's not entirely unreachable, but it's very uncomfortable. Then again, most users here probably have hands smaller than mine, so your mileage may vary.

I'll be toying with ROMs tomorrow, but quick glance tells me the ICS roms aren't as stable as I'd prefer, so I'll hold off on those for a bit.

So yeah, if I had to compare the two right now:

i717: LTE, NFC, more comfortable Capacitive button layout

n7000: FM Radio, Cheaper New (unless ordering 32GB model), better Emulator performance

Both handle movies amazingly well. While the n7000 definitely has more ROM options now, that'll fix itself in time, and what's currently available for the i717 is good quality. ICS should follow shortly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technillion:
me too...

I know how you feel...and a lot of us are trying to decide which way to go. I say HURRAY! we at least have the option..lol.

I was hesitant but I swapped my n7000 for the i717. For me, it was about getting some cash back and ATT data consistency.

I dumped my n7000 for $600 which put +$300 back in my pocket after I went to the AT&T Store. I tried the i717's LTE for a few weeks in the Chicago area. I ride the commuter trains from the Illinois/Wisconsin border down to Chicago and with the i717, my data connection is nearly 100% consistent for the entire 1.5 hour ride! That's amazing and something I NEVER got with the n7000's 3G/HSPA+ connection!

With all the differences between the two devices being hit or miss (buttons, ROMs, tweaks, bloatware, etc.), I couldn't find any reason big enough to hold on to the n7000--especially since most of these differences have been or will be eventually fixed via software.

NO REGRETS! ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teseract666:
Well AT&T approved me with no deposit (yay) so my i717 shipped from Amazonwireless yesterday evening. If I'm lucky it'll be here Friday but probably more like Monday.

Got a contract now, but the phone was $250 + $325 ETF so even if I bail I still pay about the same as the International version on Amazon.

I'll miss the Exynos but oh well, sometimes practicality trumps geek factor.

Either way it'll be way nicer than my original Droid X running a hacked together 2nd init CM 7 ROM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
I just noticed the ICS stock camera doesn't save the pic as filename YYYY-MM-DD like the GB stock camera did.

That info is in the EXIF data, but I need it in the filename too for sorting.

Both Camera 360 and Camera FX store with the date but only after the app name ..... Like. Camera360-2012-03-26.jpg

Does anyone know a camera app that will fix this? How about the GB Vivid camera app?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
So does anyone have the Gingerbread Vivid camera apk. Can I even swap it for the ICS camera?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
Well, I found Fast Burst Camera that saves in YYYY-MM-DD.jpg format. It's a great camera app.

Its blazing fast too. It only lacks two features. It uses a constant on flashlight instead of flash and it doesnt geotag the pictures yet.
[Defy Themes and Apps] f.swagga:
Since HTC SYNC does not support MIUI since the htc sync if for sence rom theres a fix that i found & its quite better & faster. In your play store look for [AIRSYNC]. Buy it or just google the apk and download it [ NOTE: When downloading it will download also double twist with it and download both. Connect your device an mount the sd card. Transfer the apk were you want to and use any apk installer. After installing it go to your, laptop or computer and run double twist[AIRSYNC], and on library just transfer your itunes playlist and start the fun. I have use it for 2 weeks and i had no problem with airsync

[[BONUS]] you can use airsync wireless ;DD

[[IMPORTANT]] google Double twist exe and download it for your pc or laptop at a website name toms guide ;)

What does that mean and how do i do it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
It means you need adb installed which is a package that is Dowloaded through the android sdk available on Google developers Website.

Adb is an interface tool for interacting with android via terminal.

Once these are setup you can run those commands.

Friends

I recently hardbricked a Galaxy Note (N7000). As the board (SMDK4210 / S3C64XX) is similar to Galaxy S II (both i9100 and i777), is there a way to somehow resurrect it without disassembling it?

Here's what I get during boot through UART:

Welcome to Samsung Primitive Bootloader.

.......................error found: 10

Normally, the PBL should say "Sbl found at 0x...." instead of the error.

Is there some way, using dltool for instance, to re-upload a working Sbl.bin somehow, or force it into Download mode? Is there some way to trigger something during PBL that would allow this stuff?

I'll be taking it to Samsung Service Centre on Tuesday anyway if not, but could've been intreresting to see if such thing is possible - which would mean waaaay easier unbrick of Galaxy S series.
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
A big dead spot appeared across screen (spot that does not respond to touch) a while ago, so I decided I was going to send it in for repair. I tried to flash it back to the original gingerbread firmware with a gingerbread sbf file, and it wouldn't boot all the way up (bootlooped). After that, I tried another sbf, and it gave me the "failed to boot 1" error, nothing else. I tried a lot of stuff but couldn't fix it. I probably could have but really didn't have the time for it so I just sent it in how it was with the same error. Do you think they'll repair it software wise first, then fix the screen, only fix the screen without messing with it, or just send it back with no changes?
[Atrix 4G General] ovitz:
If your Atrix is visble in RSD you can try to reflash service SBF and apply pdsfix via fastboot.

But probably they will fix software first then fix the screen
[Atrix 4G General] Savant:
Most likely they will just send you a refurbished phone.
[Atrix 4G General] Dual_Everything:
Yes that's what they did for me. I had no insurance. I took it to an at&t store that

was also a repair center and they did it right there while I waited. They take your

battery, back, and sim card (memory card if you have one) and put them in a new/refurb phone.
[Atrix 4G General] tngay510:
glad they did that on the spot for you. i had to sent mines to motorola to fix that since att wouldnt do it.
[Atrix 4G General] ATRIXXIRTA:
Store repair

I think if you take it into a repair center thats at store level, they'll be more likely to fix it since theyre less likely to get super indepth with the phone and firmware, and probably wouldnt get to the point where they see the "unlocked" screen ;)
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
Well it doesn't show the unlocked part after the sbf flash, only "failed to boot 1"

[HTC Sensation] tritran18518:
I have 3 htc phones (HD2- mytouch 4g- sensation 4g)and all of them have similar heat issue. For example, my sensation ( ARHD 6.5.3, stock kernel ) gets warm when i play Angry bird Space for just about 10 mins. If i play a flash video from a website by using 4G( 1-2 bar signals), the phone is extremely hot. Do you think is it normal ? Beside those 3 phones i mention above, I've used lot of phones before ( nokia 5530, dell streak, iphone , samsung vibrant, samsung focus, google nexus s..) and i personally feel only phones made by HTC have over heat issue.

p/s: i use anker battery right now, but the heat come from the sensation itself (bottom part), not from the battery.
[HTC Sensation] jthumanist:
Most likely it the amperage or flow of current in the battery. I bought a 1900ma Anker battery and its not heating up noticeably. I think the batteries are under powered for how much the phones use.

Sent from my HTC Sensation ARHD 6.5.1XE. Rockin'
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
Heat is normal from a processor doing intensive tasks, thats why your desktop has a fan on the CPU. Those other phones you mention should produce similar heating doing the same task, but might not conduct it out to the casing as HTC does.

I'd rather know the phone is hot, than just suffer a CPU fail.

That said I've noticed a huge difference in temperature after moving to ICS non-stock and non-sense ROM, the phone is only doing two or three things at the same time, instead of 30. HTC fail by making sense so bloated and inefficient - adding to the heating issues.

bro it will definitely replace the default music player of your rom (which i assume is either music 2.0 or 4.0) !!

try to back up and freeze your default music player using titanium back up and then push the new music apk, after that you can back it up also so that if it will be easy for you to switch music players (depending on your taste) without even deleting the other or you can delete permanently the other one. :D:D:D

ps: if you want to get your old music player back, use winrar and find the music apk located at the system app of the rar file of your rom and extract it.

Update - Sprint tv upgrade fails on fd02.

You can use the backup from previous version (if you have) or install apk attached.

Some more info is available at post #5.

Update - it appears that moving from tfc24 to stock rooted fd02 is causing some app failures. Sprint tv & titanium backup are the examples based on my test (no factory reset).

Moving from Calk's fc24 to fd02 had no issue.

*****************************

So far I've heard lots of people complaining about Sprint TV is not working.

Just before, I re-flashed my rom to FC22 (it's my third time moving back to FC22) and checked Sprint TV. It's working now (at least for me). FYI, my current rom is Calk's Stock Rom FC22 and I didn't apply his Bare Rom Converter.

When I launched app, it asked me to upgrade, so I did, then

Sprint TV launched again and asked me to download the new Sprint TV app, so I did.

It's launched third time and brought to me to the HD app upgrade (need $2.99 to subscribe). From the subscription screen, I just clicked 'back arrow' because I didn't want to pay for HD. From the Sprint TV Home page, now everythings are working now.

If your Sprint TV app is not working, try it again. It seems like current app needs to be upgrade or replaced to make it work.

Attached is the current version Sprint TV apk (which is working on my phone) and if you are not able to upgrade, try attached apk.

How to install -

1. backup your current Sprint TV App

2. Uninstall current Sprint TV and install with attached

(or just replace /data/app/com.mobitv.client.sprinttvng-1.apk with attached apk)

permission 644.

Hope this help.

I tried to download the Sprint TV from SprintZone. The downloaded Sprint TV app asked me to update the app but the update was not succeful and Sprint TV FC'd.

If it happens to you, you can download the attached app. The same way that I mentioned above. It worked like a charm on FI25 Stock Rom.
