[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dr. Evo:
Since when have they not??? I've owned the iPad 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Both had superior battery life to any phone I've ever owned, including my beloved Note.

Moving on... I, too, sold my Galaxy Tab 10.1 after I got my Note. Before it, I was on my tab all the time. The second I got my Note, my tab would literally sit for days gathering dust, before I'd even pick it up. Lost interest after I got the Note. I returned it to Best Buy within my 45-day return period.

With that said, I seriously intend on checking out the new Galaxy Note Tab 10.1 and the new Asus Transformer (if it's indeed coming out relatively soon). I still miss the large tablets for certain things, but it's not a necessity.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Eric-1987:
Are you in another universe? Tablets don't get anywhere near a phones battery life!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] swaggerjacker:
Please tell me he isn't serious.

I have an Acer 10.1" tablet, and an IPad 2. I use the IPad at home more than the Note or Acer. I like all three gadgets, but the iPad is the most convenient. I keep the Acer because it is more versitile than the IPad. "File Management" My note will never replace either. But I do love it. I won't buy the "New IPad". Faster processor? Not needed. Better screen? Dont need that either. To each his/her own.

I am very serious have you seen the specs of tablets recently? I would love to see a tablet get 30 hours stock battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vcolassi:
No really my GF has a "new iPad" & i had the Transformer Prime tab. And i did a test where i almost got 8 hours of CONSTANT video playback. Its no competition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
well the battery life on my nook color (cm7 now sold) and 1st gen ipad (sold) was so much better than my current Note they were in a different universe.

i sold my white ipad 2 so i can get the note.. i dont even pick up my hp touchpad any more, barely use my laptops and macbook any more
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] raqball:
The battery argument in this thread is hilarious..

Love the Note but battery life is nowhere even close to my previoisly owned ipad 2 or Galaxy Tab 10.1..

Back on topic, I also no longer have the need to a full fledged Tablet after getting the Note..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 05GT:
Yea,

I have no clue where the battery argument came from. But yea, the Note is definitely an awesome device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] OkNewMedia:
I also chose the note over a tablet. Actually, Instead of getting the SGS2 Skyrocket and Samsung Tab 8.9, which AT&T was offering as a bundle, I decided to just go with the Note. Now I pretty much never open up my laptop, except to do modifications on my Note. The only time I really use a computer, is when I'm at work. The note screen size makes it the perfect device for doing pretty much anything I want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Autumnfading:
I have no idea about other tablets, but since I have the ASUS Transformer, with the keyboard dock, I have a ton of battery life. The keyboard dock has something crazy like twice the battery life of just the tablet itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryanbmw51:
Returned my TF Prime a week after I got the note. We have a desktop, 3 laptops and an ipad 2 in my house and I never even get within 5 feet of these devices. Note does not leave my hand ever. Never
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sag7392:
Damn, I'm on the fence to sell my Tab 10.1 now...the Note is really a good go between a smartphone and tablet. My tab use has reduced dramatically!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hashbrown:
Battery argument had to be a joke. I can use my Asus TF101 all day. It's about to be retired and sold though. I can do the same things with the Note. Droidmote and Splashtop both work fine on the note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonEsch:
I was looking at that too, also went the other way and got the note. This covers both fields and I don't have to pay for 2 data plans.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eazyweazy3:
I rarely use my iPad.

In fact, this may seem stupid, but the only reason I used my iPad was to check instagram. :o

Now that Android has it, I never use my iPad anymore. The Note does everything I need it to and more, although I am tempted to try out a One X.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vcolassi:
For what its worth. I have a Note and played with a One X today in Att for a out 10 mins. I was very impressed with its butter smoothness stock and the display. The Slcd-2 is amazing. I never used Sense but I was digging Sense 4.0. It was pretty clean.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vcolassi:
Wrong thread my post above lol. Sorry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adelmundo:
I love the huge screen since I watch a lot of YouTube on it, it's like the difference between watching a movie on a 22 inch television vs a 55 inch Samsung LED.

Using the Note had relegated my HP Touchpad to my kid who uses it a lot more now than me. In fact, I'm on a short vacation with my family right now. Before I would be taking a phone and a tablet with me and sometimes even a laptop. This time I only brought the Note, a charger, and a spare battery (which I probably won't even use anyways since the Note has excellent battery life). I also used it for GPS navigation, and it is by far the best smartphone with GPS capability I have ever used, locks fast and never loses signal. Truly flawless.

I also love the S-Pen, I never have to worry about carrying a paper and a pen. It's amazing all the things I use it for, from taking notes, to making a daily to-do list, to even writing out my daily gym work out routine.

Finally the battery life is probably the next best of all smartphones currently out, the best being the Droid Razr Maxxx. I can go easily 24 hours on a single charge with 3 hours screen time, and best I've done is 36 hours on a single charge with a couple of hours of on screen time.

Does anybody know if the install goes correctly, sorry if it's already been asked. I just don't want to brick my phone.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
I didn't want to bump this thread, but I really want an answer. Sooo, anybody know?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
For me on the .173 software it failed but did not brick my phone. But until the bootloader is unlocked/bypassed the razr can not run an aosp rom. + juice defender ultimate ran horribly for me, ive used it on many other phones that it worked wonderful, the razr it did not.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
So that means that since my Razr isn't running an AOSP based ROM that it's highly unlikely that even on .181 it will be able to run, unlikely but not impossible?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Never mind, I put on my big boy pants and checked it for myself. It worked fine. And I love the new battery saving features.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Black Widow is a AOSP Rom, isn't it? And juicedefender runs very well on my razr for three months now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
A fully aosp rom includes the kernel, and since we cant boot custom kernels no rom for our phone can be built solely from the android open source project. I might have to give jd another try, do you guys still get the lag when it initiates 4g?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
AOSP works for 65.1.40 2.3.6 asia stock rom.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
What do you mean lag? I haven't botched anything service damaging like that. But I just set up jd and leave it.

Sent from my DROID RAZR
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
But now we can boot custom kernels using kexec, right? Ok, second core doesn't work but a good ICS custom ROM with a good kernel running on single core beats a stock ROM which is running on dual core. So I think it would be nice if a custom kernel could be built.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
It's been a while since I've tried jd, the last time I did I had horrible lag when I turned on the screen to data connectivity initiating. The dev might have updated since then.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
Kexec is close, I can't use it on my DROID RAZR yet, but very promising. I'd guess most devs will wait for the official update to ics's source drop by moto, giving how hard it is to find/build drivers for the h/w.
[General Questions and Answers] drcspy:
Hello people

New to android programming and I would like to create an app that runs when the power button is pressed (the phone will already be 'on' as such but the screen 'off')

so - one press of the power button to 'activate/show' the screen will make the app run (without requireing the user to unlock the screen please).

is this possible

how do I capture the 'power button press' event and then direct it to run *app xxx*

I thank you for your time in lookin at my question and I sincerely hope I can also one day help others (I have a fairly extensive history online of helping people with windows and hardware issues)

I have two different calendars that I would like to keep on separate widgets. I like the look of the stock ICS calendar widget and I'd prefer it if I could use that one.

Any widgets that look (as close as possible) to the stock ICS calendar widget?

Is there a way to have 2 different calendar widgets using the stock calendar app?

Im looking for this as well. Hope there is a solution.

calender widget

try smooth calender. you can create two different widgets and then set each one to show each calendar i think.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pejmany:
So my Galaxy S II I9100M was updating, and I, unknowingly wiped data/factory reset'd my phone with the Siyah 3.1.1 kernel (which I now know has problems)

So this turned bad, because it got stuck there for a long time. No problem, this happens sometimes? No.

I reset the phone, try to re-install the Resurrection ROM but my emmc will no longer show up. Factory reset is a nogo again, but I have another rom on my extsd, which does install, but doesn't boot.

I go into odin, download mode etc, flash xxlph onto the phone, but here's the kicker:

the odin flash gets stuck at data.img

yadayadayada lots of different rom flashes later, none go past data.img

I can flash kernels, get into recovery mode with non-stock kernels, and get into download mode, but the /data partition doesn't format. I even tried a specific kernel for recovery, rogue recovery, and that can't format it either.

Neither can it find the cache partition for logs.

formatting the /data from mounts and storage gives the error "format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p10"

I saw somewhere (galaxy player 5 forums) that one can use adb to reset the partition sizes, but I have no table either. But I could find one. But I still don't know how to.

Anyone have any ideas and/or alternatives?

Love you all

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
I haven't been thrilled with any of the cases or films I've tried on my Note, but I really liked the look of the Sweet Armor CNC-machined aluminum bumper. So, I decided that while I was waiting for Otterbox or a Kracken or something that I liked I'd go ahead and put this together.

On the front of the phone I didn't like any of the non-glass screen protectors I've tried including Invisibleshield, Armor Suit, and Ghost Armor. Whether it was S-pen tracks, or the Speck case lifted the film I just wasn't happy. So, I finally ended up with a Glas-t and have had it on for a couple weeks and I'm still fairly happy.

Then for cases/protection I've used the Speck, full Invisibleshield, full Armor Suit, and Boxwave Resolute. None of em were really what I wanted. I have an Otterbox Defender on my Streak 5 and I was quite happy with it. I have several friends with aluminum bumpers on their iPhones including mechanics so I figured I'd give the Sweet Armor one a shot. I went with bright chrome for the contrast.

On the back I have a clear film, which I was fine with when the phone was in the Speck or Boxwave cases, but out on its own it doesn't look that good on the Blue Note. I decided carbon fiber might be the look I wanted hanging out of the back of the Sweet Armor but I didn't want to try trimming tabs off the international back cover. So, after looking at pictures, I went to Ghost Armor for their carbon fiber stickers. I chose the gunmetal because the Note spends a lot of time near the windshield, and I hope the lighter color will cut down on radiated heat absorption. (lot of sun in SoCal).

Anyway, they all work fine together, I can still pull the back off the phone even in the Sweet Armor bumper. I'd prefer if the Sweet Armor was a little taller to better protect the screen, but for the time being I shot some pictures of the combo for anyone else who was thinking of going this route.

And, one shot with the watch I wear the most.

That's kinda what I thought you meant... so I clicked on all the thumbs again, and they all worked...

Thanks for the kudos.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
Case looks SICK! Does the bumper make it a lot heavier?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
Thanks. I don't think so it adds a lot of weight. I was actually surprised when I got it just how light it was. There are air pockets and rubber tape on the inside so it isn't aluminum all the way through and right up against the phone.

I didn't weigh it as my gram scale died and I haven't picked up another one yet. Heck, I didn't even put one case in my left hand and one in my right. That watch is just over 1/2 pound or 258 grams as it sits. So, I am not too concerned about weight really, just protecting the phone and looking good.

I do like how solid the phone feels now as compared to the plastic or rubber cases. Any drops so far have only been 2-3 feet onto carpet or 3 feet from the car mount to the floor in the Jeeps. So, no real hard-core testing about drop resistance really.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
Loving the look but itdoesnt look comfortable to hold like My iPhone 4. too many sharp edges. I loved the way my iPhone 3GS felt, perfect curvature, no sharp edges.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
I've never held either iPhone, so I can't tell from my own comparison what its like. I guess it all depends on how sensitive you are. The edges are all chamfered. Small chamfers, sure, but I wouldn't call the edges sharp. The corners could be rounded more for more comfort, but even with messing with the phone for hours on end, I don't find myself in pain. The Speck case is a more natural feel in the hand than this one for me and I think that is two-fold. One is the edges, as you've noted, but the other is the raised corners. The Boxwave case had raised corners as well and I found I liked the Speck case better because of it.

Just ordered the black sweet armor and gun metal carbon fiber. Your setup looks fantastic, so I'm hoping mine looks good as well. Appreciate the pics.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mariol66:
Where did you order the aluminum from? Because the site I went to they are $70+???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
http://www.sweet-armor.com/6-sweet-armor-gnote

And, yep, 77 bucks for the chrome as pictured. Plus, expedited shipping to the US brought it to $102 or $103. Ordered one for me, and one for my girl. Different addresses, so quite a bit into it. But, the Speck wasn't working for us, I was sick of peel-back rubber dual-layer cases, so CNC-machined really piqued my interest.

As you might imagine from CNC-designed (presumably) and machined, fit and finish is awesome. Could provide more protection as I think I mentioned earlier, but I'm good with this for the time being.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
Please post pics. This thread is good, unless you want to start another thread. In all the reading I did on reviews before I pulled the trigger a couple of them were pro-black pretty big time. But, for me, with this price point, I wanted it to stand out, hence the chrome I chose. Also, the "black chrome" on the site I just couldn't tell WTH it really was.

Oh, and thanks. I really like the result too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] faded03cobra:
I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on such a expensive case, but after seeing yours with the ghost armor I had too. I agree I wasn't sure on the black because it wouldn't stand out........and for the price I really wanted it to, but I'm a sucker for black and figured it would look good with the gun metal ghost armor. I did express shipping and will post some pics as soon as I get it setup.

Are you having issues with any of the screws coming out? Is the ghost armor easy to install?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
No problem with the screws coming out at all, and I daily drive some of the most harsh and vibration-prone vehicles on the planet. Old Jeeps.

I actually thought about using never seize on the screws to make sure they come out when I need them to. Steel screw plus aluminum case equals high probability of corrosion and "welding" themselves together.

I just used the included screwdriver and got them reasonably tight. I read somewhere that someone snapped the screws on installation because they used a larger-than-included screwdriver.

As for the ghost armor, I've got lots of experience over the years installing the original invisibleshield. (wet install) The ghost armor was easier to install than the original invisibleshield ever was (no real worries about bubbles, screen alignment, etc since I only used the carbon fiber back portion). So, if its your first time it might be tricky, but the instructions aren't too bad and should get you through it if you have some basic sticker-applying skills.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] faded03cobra:
Cool. Appreciate it. Is the carbon fiber a wet install? Seems like you would just put it on....maybe I just misunderstood ya. Good to hear on the screws, I drive a UPS truck

there not the most luxurious and can be quite bumpy as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
I did mean that it was a wet install.

But it does make more sense to just put it on.

So, I went back and checked the directions, and sure enough wet. The directions state to mix up some soapy water, but I just used a wet solution I had from some other wet install screen saver I didn't end up liking.

Hey op how long did shipping take. I selected the 2-5 days and it still isn't here. No email replies either
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
Surprised to see this one pop back up again. I selected expedited shipping... don't recall a 2-5 day option. It took about a week from placing the order to it showing up to the West Coast. That said, I ordered one for my girl too and she was on the East Coast. It took about 2 weeks for it to get to her, thanks to getting hung up in customs. I got a tracking number on both shipments, didn't you get one?

As for reception, I haven't noticed a decrease in reception of anything yet. I kind of expected to. After putting the case on, I noticed this from engadget:

http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/20/samsung-galaxy-note-for-atandt-passes-through-the-fcc/

The antennas appear to be more on the back than around the edges.

Oh, and as for thickness- almost none. It elevates the back of the phone so it doesn't touch when placed on a flat surface, and its similar for the screen. But if anything I'd like to see the sweet armor be 1-2 mm thicker for more protection.
