[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
It's impossible to tweak until you get the device. It's best to do some research on these forums before or after you buy the phone.

I personally have no lag at all, along with many other people on this forum.

Installing a different launcher and custom roms are just one of the many things you can do to improve performance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
I am currently on one of the ICS leaks, using nova launcher, and have virtually no lag. ICS seems to have fixed video playback being a bit jumpy for me, though it wasn't a huge problem on GB. On GB I was running Solaris Prime, overclocked to 1.83 GHz, and using ADW EX, experienced no lag whatsoever there either. I use Dolphin Browser HD instead of the stock browser most of the time, and that had given me very smooth performance all around, as well as access to desktop sites instead of mobile sites.

If you get a Note that seems super laggy, exchange it for a new one in your first 30 days until you get a good one. It seems as though most Notes are fine, with only a select few experiencing poor performance, most of which can probably actually be attributed to the person's own apps and not the actual device.

Buy it and be prepared for all other phones to pale in comparison to this beast...it has ruined all other phones for me, so that I will likely only upgrade to the Note 2 when that rolls around. This thing is crazy awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MattMJB0188:
Thanks for the replies. I plan on picking it up and loading the custom rom Saurom which everyone says is super stable.

I noticed *minor* lag with scrolling using Dolphin Browser in gingerbread. In ICS, it is smoother than an iphone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bugluv67:
Noticeable Lag

I upgraded my galaxy note to the ICS upgrade. I was a horrible experience as seems to be the norm with ATT rom upgrades. First there was no OTA support for the upgrade. I had to search for the Samsung Kies app and download it. Which took almost 2.5 hours for a 70mb file. Though the program did work okay once i got it downloaded and installed.

So now im upgraded to the long awaited ICS for the ATT Galaxy Note. It turns out its complete garbage. It has all but crippled my phone. The phone lags so bad i cant flip from screen to screen without having to stop and wait 10 to 15 seconds for it to reload each screen. Half the apps no longer work as they should. My Go messenger no longers alerts me when i get a text. When i take a picture to send it to someone. The picture never sends and it doesnt save. it just gets lost in limbo forever.

Answering calls is a futile experience as well. If the phone doesnt crash and reset. It blacks the screen out from lag so long that the voicemail picks up before i can answermy call. So them i have to wait for all this to stop go to my log see who called and try to call them back. Then the phone proceeds to crash back to the home screen 2 out of every three times i try to make a call.

This upgrade is garbage. Give me back gingerbread. Before this upgrade my galaxy note was the fastest most responsive phone i have ever seen. I rarley even had to turn it off to reset it and i think i have only taken the battery out of it once since i got it on launch day. Now the phone has been rendered completley usless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Clearly your phone experience is "not" normal as compared to most users here.

Perhaps you are unlucky and have a bad upgrade ?

Mine went well , and I only did it to test the update to gather information .

If you are not rooted ...might I suggest doing so , and trying one of the many great roms here.

Or you could restore back to GB to restore your original functionality.

Either way ...I'm sorry that your phone experience has been so miserable. And surely there is help here for you ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bugluv67:
Thanks for the reply. I used to really enjoy my galaxy note. But the last two weeks or so have been unbearable. Im no tready to go with a custom rom since it seems to em that most of them are not fully functional in some way or another. But i did read on here that some people had very successful upgrades. So im going to figure out what i need to do to redo the upgrade and try again.

I am running the offical att flavor of ics and it sometimes wants to multitask like the iphone. I do get a lot of music skips when running power amp.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Zwarx:
If you're nervous about stability, don't be. At the very least you could flash a debloated stock based ROM, or if you're feeling a little more adventurous try Cyanogenmod. Very stable, more so than the ICS update.

Its common knowledge that carriers and OEMs make horrible stock ROMs. Everyone has had a problem like you, and have taken the plunge of flashing a ROM.

There's nothing to be afraid of. Its not a life decision that you can't turn back on. Its easy to go back to stock if you're scared. But there's around 10 great options in the Development section if you want stability.

My email retains the email addresses of ALL of the emails that I've sent or received. This includes those not in my contact list. When I start a new email they appear whenever I type the first letter in the "To" or "cc" fields. How can I delete these? Does anyone know the name of the file where they are stored? Thanks.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] snallygaster:
Fixed it.

I still haven't found where it's pulling the email address history from, but it can be turned of with the following registry edit.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Inbox\RecipientAutocomplete]

"MaxSuggestions"=dword:0

Mine was set to 4. After changing it to 0, presto-chango! No more email address autocomplete frustration.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jowlsey:
I've been trying and trying to find a way to change a way to change the way my MT4Gs handles mailto: links, but can't find the answer. I'd prefer to have these links open in my Yahoo account (I know...) instead of gmail. Even if I'm in my Yahoo mail and click on one of these links, it creates the new mail from my gmail account instead of the Yahoo account. The Yahoo account is set as the default mail account.

The links I'm referring look like this- mailto:user@domain.com.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
Clear gmails defaults in applications
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jowlsey:
Thanks, that did the trick.

It took me a moment to decipher your directions. In case someone else stumbles upon this post looking for a solution to this problem, the steps are:

Settings > Applications > App Associations > Email address. Change it from gmail to mail.

Hey, i unlocked the bootloader, flashed a CWM (That does not allow me to mount my phone storage to the PC), tried to flash 2 .zips (the Remove menu thingy, and the SuperSU V.0.87) and when i tried to do that it went in a bootloop(or bootstuck? gets to the "HTC One X - Beats Audio screen, and never gets any further) WHAT DO I DO? Help me please!
[HTC One X] lumpy76:
Hi, i did exactly the same thing and...i got the same result :(....Please, anyone knows how to solve it???????
[HTC One X] DaDoctor:
I am guessing you didnt take a backup in CWM prior to flashing the mods? If not, unfortunately, your only solution would be to bring it back to complete stock and flash the RUU that originally came loaded on your phone.

1) Flash stock recovery:

Grab it from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1579797

Then Boot in bootloader >> Fastboot and issue the following command (assuming that the offical recovery is named recovery.img): fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

2) Relock Bootloader:

Boot in bootloader >> Fastboot and issue the following command: fastboot oem lock

3) Find and run/flash the

RUU for your device

Thanks!!!!! thank to you I managed to unlock my mobile ;)
[HTC One X] askemil:
Can't really tell you what worked, i flashed my RUU but it failed, i tried flashing stock and all that (which i put on there beforehand as CWM can't mount the drive), but in the end it was just persistence that got it, so just keep trying!

If the guild didden work. then you have done somting rong. cuz doing that guild works in all casese

[HTC One X] ShyamSasi:
I think the Menu removal caused bootloop. I don't have my PC with me if someone can upload the stock Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk you could replace that to boot it back again. If nothing works then download one of the Custom ROM (ARHD or LeeDroid) then wipe everything and flash that it should work for you. ;)
[HTC One X] kaskonjunf:
End to unlock again?

How can it be unlocked again? Is there a simple command also or it is htcdev all over again?
[HTC One X] megatronisabeast:
You should have received a code from HTC when you unlocked, check your email for it. Then you place it in file with fastboot on computer, open cmd prompt, type in fastboot oem unlock and it should unlock.
[HTC One X] dgstarcraft:
i agree with this method my problem is my phone will not charge

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPE5CDupEsk&feature=youtu.be thats the youtube video with the issue im having. my phone will not charge in fastboot nor hboot and even if i power it off it will turn on again please helpo

i almost picked up a xoom last night from 1saleday, but i keep reading about non us variants being shipped out from various retailers. searched through the forums here and i see all these model numbers, but im not sure which is the us version (can get ics?). found another one im interested in and heres what it says..

Brand	Motorola

Model	MZ604

MPN	MOTOROLAXOOMMZ60432BLACK

Carrier	Not Applicable

UPC	723755000018

im assuming this is the us version? let me know! thanks guys! :D
[Xoom General] tcrews:
I could be mistaken but I think all the WiFi models can be flashed to the US images hosted at the Motorola dev site....

Putting "any" on the US version upgrade path. Then again....you can also flash any number of the dev community ICS roms as well.
[Xoom General] mrmako777:
thanks bro. found this "Build HWI69 for US Retail" at this page http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/?pubid=987654 under "MZ604 - XOOM WITH WI-FI", so i assume what youre saying is right. if someone else can confirm this is correct, ill be joining you guys over here shortly LOL :D

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SASMareSRB:
Alright, this is not like the biggest problem, but I would certainly like to know if it happens to anyone else, and is it possible to be solved.

So, my WiFi connection is very good, actually router is in my room, and I don't have problem connecting to it, but just a little annoying thing.

When I go out of the house, of course, I lose connection, but when I get back, I see that phone HAS reconnected itself to my home network, but then I try going to some website, and it says it has no connection. In order to make it work I have to turn WiFi off and then back on.

It's not that big of a deal, I didn't even care to post this so far, but it's getting kinda annoying, if I lose connection for 1 sec it's done, it can't reconnect correctly.

I installed WiFi Manager app, but it didn't change anything, it just makes it easier to connect to WiFi again.

So, my question is: Has this ever happened to you, and how can I solve this, is there any way?

Hopefully you can take a bit of your time and read this whole post, and help me.

Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0v3rl0rd:
Hi there.

Yesterday I changed from stock official OTA 4.0.4 to CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.4 v5.0.

On the stock ICS I've been playing some games which progress I'd like to restore back on the CM.

Some of the games I've been playing: GTRacing, N.O.V.A., YooNinja, Robo Defense, Plants vs Zombies, Defender, Defender II, etc.

I've been using Titanium Backup for data (re)storing, and everything (even my credit card mobile token) is restored correctly from stock to CM. But the game I've been playing the most it doesn't - DEFENDER II.

I tried restoring data only, and data+app. Neither does work. It says "restore successful", but when I run the game something weird happens: when I'm for the first time in the game menu, everything seems restored normally (xp, lvl, etc), but when I resume playing (from this restore point), it kinda "refreshes" itself to blank - everything is started from scratch.

Any idea on how to fix that problem?

I snagged a Bionic lapdock recently during the $80 sale, and mine is in perfect working order. Unfortunately Webtop doesn't have the performance I'm looking for and I would rather just have HDMI mirroring, which it doesn't look like it officially supports.

I can't seem to dig up any info on this, anyone know?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] HorsexD:
you can always just switch the Mobile view tab to Landscape and full screen it. IT runs smoother but not as sharp as lapdock view. ICS is supposed to bring us a new webtop with smoother performance but who knows when that will be :rolleyes:

Coming from HTC Thunderbolt...

We could flash just the radio in bootloader.

You just put the file (PG05IMG.zip) in the root directory and bootloader would flash it.

Is Samsung similar?

Some people found certain radios (old vs new) to work better in their area. Just because HTC/VZW updated didn't mean it was better for everyone.

I've read that the ICS leak has a new radio.

Also, do modems/radios have to be specific to GB or ICS?

I know kernels are but not sure about radios.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
or point me to a thread that addresses this....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonEsch:
Samsung you can flash radio's through recovery, you don't have to do it in fast boot like HTC. There are radio threads here, look for the Dev forum for i717 and find the cwm modem thread. It has all sorts of different radios. Word of caution though, anything you even think mIght be tmo will screw your phone up, probably requiring data wipes, re flashing ROM's, etc. the old ucla1 radio is there, the new ICS radio is in skyrocket forums. You can try skyrocket modem also, personally was screwy for me but didn't screw phone up too much. I have the 2 radio's for our phone, I'll upload them to drop box and send a link. Easier that way

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kybard:
I've been using the MIRAGE CM7.2 KANG ever since I got my NC back in January, and I love it. For a while I was using the ICS Tablet Tweaked theme, but decided that I prefer a lot of the look and feel without that theme, especially after later updates made the theme act a little funky.

The one thing I did like about the ICS theme was that the softkey buttons I used were in the ICS order -- back, home, notifications, menu -- while the system theme has (to me) a bit of a less-natural order: home, menu, back, notifications. Is there any easy way I'm missing to change up that order? There are no options I can see for it in the Cyanogenmod Settings menu.

If it'd require some editing of this or that file, I can probably figure it out, but I don't know where to start. Thanks to anyone in advance!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kybard:
After some research and snooping, I figured this out on my own!

I used APKTool to decompile SystemUI.apk (using this guide, sans the HTC-specific parts), and edited res/layout/status_bar.xml in WordPad by finding the items that looked like this:

<ImageButton android:id="@id/status_back"
android:background="@drawable/ic_statusbar_back_bottom"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

...and changing names around (i.e. "back" to "home" in each applicable space).

I also did some editing of the PNG files in res/drawable-mdpi to get a little closer to the ICS flavor. The end result:

...is perfect!

Thanks to the CM7 team for an amazing experience on my Nook and to mrg666 for his KANG!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philux:
Excellent guide, I was wondering how to change the order. :D

CWM Flashable CM7.2 ICS Button Order

I made a flashable.zip to rearange the Soft Keys on CM7.2-RC1 MiRaGe - KANG build specifically 04/16/2012 update. It may work on other builds, but I have not tested. So be sure to backup and try at your own risk.

In the zip is the modified SystemUI with the buttons laid out in the order of ICS

Find the attached file and flash it in CWM to install the new SystemUI with modified softbutton order.

I also included a revert to flash back the stock SystemUI if something goes wrong.

REMEMBER FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!! THIS IS FOR *CM7.2-RC1 MiRaGe -KANG*

I have only tested this for the above build.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kybard:
Nice work! I'm glad this was helpful. I'd just been swapping in the new APK using ES File Explorer, but a flashable zip is a great resource.

Here's a .zip file with some of the PNG files I changed. Switching these out with the images in res/drawable-mdpi will black out the "separator" bars around each of the buttons, and also change the Quick Notifications button to the ICS Recent Apps button.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philux:
Excellent!!! Thanks for sharing the images. Added your PNG files to the SystemUI along with the changed layout and made it all CWM Flashable. ;)

Same Warnings apply as above...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ponyboy82:
This is great. I didn't care for the ICS-style layout in joe's ICS theme, but now I'm really used to it.

Will these also change the battery icon to have the % plus the bar icon? I'm missing that from CM9.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kybard:
If you mean how the battery looks on my screenshot, you can get that through Settings - CyanogenMod settings - Interface - Status bar tweaks - Battery status style, and switching to Percentage. I think that's all there is to it!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ponyboy82:
Ok, I'll have to try this again. I thought I did that last night but just got the numbers w/o the bar next to it.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamo75:
Hi

i love your work and would like to use order and icons in ICS style. I'm using CM 7.2 RC1 Mirage Kang.

However i'm new to "flashing".. opening zip from file manager gives me option of opening with CWM, which after confirming reboots, but based on my knowledge ican't say anything happens. When restarting these modifications (order, icons) are not applied.

How do i "flash" this zip's correctly?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kybard:
Hi shamo,

Put the update.zip on your SD card, reboot into recovery (Reboot --> Recovery), select "install zip from SD card" and install from there. That should do it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamo75:
Hi!

Thank Kybard for the tip.. managed, though the naming convention was actually update-.zip .. wouldn't work without the "-".

However, now on installing, my whole status bar is gone missing.. changed DPI from 160 to 200, disabled full screen in nook tweaks, but too no avail. Any other suggestions?

Thanks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philux:
You should have been able to click install zip from sd and selected the zip using the volume buttons to move around. I wouldn't matter what the name of the file is, as long as the extension is a *.zip. You would manually find the file and select it. Then the "flash" would occur.

What Rom version or build are you on? As stated the .zip was intended to work with [CM7.2-RC1] MiRaGe - KANG build of CyanogenMod April 16 2012 release. It may cause stability issues with older releases of the rom.

Have you went to settings and Tablet tweaks to check the settings there? Make sure the status bar is set to always visible.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamo75:
@Philux-X: I had the expected ROM [CM7.2-RC1] MiRaGe - KANG build of CyanogenMod April 16 2012. Nothing special added as in modules changed, removed, added. Of course there are some 20 apps installed, but none to change UI.

I went through all settings I knew of (Cyanogen mod, ADW launcher), also disabling and re-enabling status bar settings , but no luck. I restarted launcher as well as the NC. Nothing.

Then I gave up and updated to 05052012 which brought the status bar back, but of course the order the usual, not the wished for.

I won't try changing soft buttons till next ROM update, when I have the option to overwrite it again in case soft button update does to my NC the same as the first time.

Thank you all for your effort.
