[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iakovl:
i'm a fresh Gnote user , moved a day ago from S2 with AOKP rom, and well... few problems and questions for Gnote:

basic info: the Gnote came to me (2nd hand) with Stunner 1.4.19 rom, LP5 kernel and LP5 modem. and i only ran it for a day now.

1. i got horrible battery drain... it just drinks power, while i know it has bigger screen and power consumption, it has a 2500mah battery.

with my old S2 with i could get at least 5~6 screen time hours... and more or less a day out of it.

right now i got 13 hours out of it (was sitting in my pocket while i was at work) with 13% left and 3h24m screen time.

how do i fix this? and is the Sam GB roms better in this matter (like AOKP but not at this price)

2. i knew the speaker on the Gnote was weaker than S2, now i know it for a fact.

i have a crazy idea for how to fix it... but that's for later.

i know that Voodoo Louder gives a sound boost for the headphone is good for the speaker too?

3. if i choose to go from stunner to Sam GB/ICS rom... how to do it? don't want to brick a new phone.

4. i use the LP5 modem and kernel... what modem is considered best for the Gnote? i'm used to the KI3 from the S2 but as a new Gnote user i have no clue whats best for it.

5. never liked stock kernels, what kernel should i use with AOKP roms and/or GB roms?

6. the big question... GB vs ICS, AOKP vs Sam... is there an answer to it?

well sorry for the long post, but i'm new to Gnote
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioweb:
Hey, welcome to the Note :)

1. Battery drain could be caused by a number of things. Have you tried doing a full wipe? Some people have reported better battery life on the LP6 modem so you can try that as well

2. No idea

3. Going from an AOSP/AOPK rom to another ICS rom (whether is't a Sammy rom or an AOSP/AOPK rom) is just a matter of doing a full wipe and flashing another rom through CWMR. If you wanna go back to GB there's a number of threads in the dev section with all the instructions you need.

4. Opinions are divided between LP5 and LP6. For me LP6 is perfect, great reception, nice 3G speeds and stable wifi.

5. I really like Stunner's ICS roms. You can try updating to 1.4.26.1, look for his thread in the dev section.

6. There's no real answer to that. I've used Darky, Rocket Rom with SpeedMod Kernel, imilka's CM9 v2 and Stunner (beta 5, 1.4.19, 1.4.26.1) and to me Stunner's is the best I've tried. Great battery life, awesome speed and customizable.

Here's a link to the LP6 modem. Just flash it and see what happens. If you don't like it you can always flash back to LP5. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24928440&postcount=4250

Also a new user

Just not my new note and want to install a rom cuz i dont like all the extra stuff in touchwiz, it really feels slow comparing to my SGS2.

Im not new to rooting and flashing but i havent done any since september 2011 so im reading some post and blogs to get updated. And ofcourse i have some questions.

1. Is it possible to run 2 roms on a phone? like using a rommanager?

I want to test a rom first and keep the stock for daily use till i decide.

2. I think im going for those light roms like stunner or liquid but S-pen button doesnt work on those...now my question is the S-pen screenshot function a part of one of the Smemo or Snote apps? or is it really a touchwiz thing? can i install one of these roms and install an S-pen app to get the screenshot function back with the Spen button?

Thx!

Hi all, i am a new Sony tablet S user.

Very happy about the device.

I'm trying to listen music directly from sd card, possibly with default sony player,or with music android app.

For the moment no solution, the last chance is for me to create a linc in \ pointing to \mnt/sdcard2, but i don't know how to do that.

For the moment i don't wont to root.

As anyone an idea, or an alternative free app i can use?

thanks for the help...

[Sony Tablet S] pcoulson:
Try Poweramp - a very good music app.
[Sony Tablet S] inchia:
Wow,io works fine.

Thanks a lot....

Do you know any other with better interface?

Poweramp works, but the interface on tablet in not exiting like the sony music,or default android music...

Did anyone tryed out with the link in / to the sd location?
[Sony Tablet S] pcoulson:
I dont know of another app that looks as flashy as the native one on the tablet, though it's possible to fool the app into thinking the music on your sd card is actually on the internal memory by rooting and applying an init.d script on boot.

HOWEVER, it seems that the ICS update allows access directly to the sd card, so hold tight and try that when you get the chance!
[Sony Tablet S] dante2086:
Just wait for ICS update. It's already rolling out. It will then read the files from the SD card. Check the video.

I'll do as you all say.... thanks for the information!!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 267841:
Native Google contacts app uses a strangely lower resolution (96x96px).

This was normal in the firsts Android versions.

The new phones includes a large amount of memory and a large screens, and also, the new Android version (Ice Cream Sandwitch) predisposes to a better user experience.

But, by default, the contact photos stored in Android 4.0 uses the older resolution (96x96px), and the photo contacts appears pixelated.

With this app you can make a bulk update of your contact photos to a increased resolution (256x256px) that's shows much better in your new devices.

Also, in older devices, that aren't running ICS, the app allows to make a bulk photo contacts update and increase the resolution to the device max supported size.

Finally, if you have rooted your device, you can increase the size of the contact photos to 400x400px (or more). That sounds good in devices with a large screen, like Galaxy Note.

Instructions

1) Place the desired contact photos (in PNG or JPG format) in a folder of your sdcard. I recommend to use square photos.

2) Open the app

3) Click settings and configure the sources folder to the stored photos folder

4) Go main window in the app

5) Select the photos that you want to update

6) Click the update photos button (the photos was automatically resized to the max resolution supported by the device).

* If you want to use photos greater than the maximum supported device size, you need to be rooted. If you're rooted, go

settings, check the "Use HD photos" checkbox then apply the desired photos.

Please, if you have troubles or issues, contact with the developers via email or at the XDA thread.

Requirements

For real HD photos you need to be rooted and, in stock ROMs, you need to install busybox (available in Play Store).

Known problems

In Gingerbread devices the HD real photos (bigger than 256x256px) isn't supported
[Android Apps and Games] mccune:
Weird Google hasn't come with an update on this low res problem. It's been known for years. Now even with HD screen resolutions Google doesn't fix this :-(

I use a similar solution to yours. I use the internal Phone book in my Galaxy S2 to create duplicate contacts with only a single high res image. After this I merge the contacts using settings with my GMail contacts, setting the high res picture as default profile.

This causes two problems though. One, it doesn't change anything on my Google contacts so it only works on my phone. Second, you have to apply this trick every time you get a new phone.

Would be nice if your application could do something similar but with some sort of simple import/export function. But I'm afraid that's not that simple, right?
[Android Apps and Games] dialmformostyn:
I love the idea, but get "At least one of the selected photos can't be applied" when trying to apply. Image is 300px in height, named the same as the contact and in .png format.

Am I doing something obviously wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 267841:
your're right.

the operation only works in the phone.

the contact photo in google servers are unchanged,

but the (phone) photo was no changed when you sync, only if you wipe the data in the device.
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 267841:
you have a log file in /sdcard/

open and find a contact with error code different from zero.

if the error is due to a contact picture had not previously assigned, the error will be corrected in the next version.

also, appreciate a logcat :)
[Android Apps and Games] dialmformostyn:
Had a quick peek at the log file, says "-4"
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 267841:
hi,

the filename (without the extension) of any photo is the display name for two or more contacts (correct me if I wrong) :)
[Android Apps and Games] dialmformostyn:
You are quite correct, it was a contact that had been joined - tried it on an un-joined contact and it worked like a charm!

Thanks for a good app and great help.
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 267841:
ok, i'm working on joined contacts for new release

But the app FC's every time i try to apply pictures...

Using ICS and can anyone guide me where is DNLA there???
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpsyko:
It's DLNA actually. :D

I don't recall having DLNA in ICS or any other ROM beside Sense. But then, you can always use the third party app such as Skifta. It is DLNA certified app. The app itself is free and can be found in the Play Store.

[HTC Wildfire S] cahir1495:
you should install overclockable kernel for WFS but i think it must be compatible with your rom but i don't know because i am not playing games
[HTC Wildfire S] striker280:
install a custom rom which has an overclockable kernel preferably cm7 or cm9, when it releases, as they can be overclocked and they have a lot of free ram.

Another option could be flashing an overclock kernel on the stock rom.

And if your playing some larger games, download an hvga version because its much faster

Remember to thanks if it helped =D
[HTC Wildfire S] ashrith n a:
Thank u but because I am a newbie I don't know how to install overclockable version . So please help

Not all games may work because most games require an armv7 processor which supports floating calculations. While the wfs having an armv6 processor lacks in floating calculations
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kabrutus:
When will ASUS provide us a fix for our poor WIFI instead of ignoring the issue? They have all these new devices but fail to take care of our issues. Is this how they treat their early adopters? How can you sell a Wifi only device with poor wifi? They need to replace the back cover or replace new hardware or just have a recall. This is unacceptable. If you buy a car and you only get 5 mpg when you should get 30mpg, i'm sure they would recall that car. My luck, first ASUS device and i get first reboot issues and poor GPS & Wifi.. I love the device as far as looks and game performance but, what what good is that if i cant get online to read my emails and browse?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fsured:
While I agree with you I think Asus put themselves in a tough spot. Short of taking every Prime sold and doing hardware changes of whatever type, they can't fix this problem. Someone mentioned that they probably did the gps dongle and quick because a suit was filed against them for it. It was a universal problem with probably every unit. I could be wrong but I don't think they have admitted a problem with the internal gps, just the metal backing possibly blocking the signal.

This wifi/bt thing, it technically works. It may not function ideally but it functions. They may not be under the legal pressure as the gps, it being advertised, etc. It would be great for a solid solution to be found for this but I'm not going to hold my breath over it. The company knows the f* up exists.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Don't take this the wrong way... But speak for yourself. I have no issues with my Wifi. Its just as strong as my Galaxy Tab 10.1 using Wifi analyzer. I am also an early adopter SN#BC
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoMagus:
So you say... I thought the same thing also before going thru the WiFi/BT fallout thread.. pair some bluetooth headphones with your TF201, play some music or run netflix and run speedtest while its going and I dare say you'll be disappointed..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
I've been through this before I even created a video just to prove Wifi/BT works fine when both are used for streaming. Just check out my Youtube video.

[YOUTUBE]W3SDpCFkNZk[/YOUTUBE]

I did this late at night. Didn't want to wake the wife so I'm pretty quiet. My internet connection is caped at 10mbps

What was a little strange about the Speed test was that when I ran the test for the first time it yielded only 1mb but after running the test several more times after that it coincided with the wifi strength of it having full bars so I was getting 7mbps and more. I made the video on the second floor in my bedroom. The router is located on the first floor opposite corner of the house.

Edit: Besides. The OP is talking about Wifi and I was responding to his claims of everyone having weak wifi which is false since I have no problems with wifi.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoMagus:
Seeing how no one has posted a video showing anything but a huge dropoff in bandwidth Id be willing to watch if you link it - but yours is probably like everyone elses including mine. If it isn't then feel lucky its adequate to you.. going from 30m/b down to 2m/b is not to me

**from what I'm seeing its just like mine most of your tests your losing half your bandwidth when its on ..2-4mb occassionally with a spike ..2mb really is all you need to stream both so if it works for you great but I wouldn't say theres no issue we should not be losing that much bandwidth (its alot more for me personally)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thismonk:
Nothing will be done because nothing is wrong.

Welcome to the wireless spectrum and the laws of physics. Inconsistent speedtest results? Drop-offs? Turn on a microwave, kill your stream? Yeah, welcome to wifi.

Deal with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Whats also important to note, the prime is not at all the only Tablet that is in this "wifi situation". Especially the best known Tablet on the world, the ipad, suffers from about the same issues.

Wifi is a radio signal, its the same thing with FM radio stations... In one room you always get interference with Station X while in the other room its perfectly clear. One day it might work well while the next one you cant hear a thing. Its similar with wifi and there are alot of factors involved.

As for me i did several "tests" with wifi analyzer and speed test and my tablet and 2 smartphones (DHD & SGS II) all around my house and in the garden. There is simply no consistancy :) in one spot the prime has the best signal and the best throughput in another it has the worst, in the end all devices performed more or less the same.

But thats just my situation, there is always the possibility that your device is defective in some way and if you feel somethings wrong i suggest you try RMA or just buy a wifi repeater :) But i guess thats about the only things you can do.

Btw: there was an intersting article i read a while ago about a Parisienne Hotel where some nerds (some of them actually invented wifi) had a convention/meeting. Everyone was using the wifi heavily and soon the system wouldnt work at all. They started talking to the tech guys of the hotel and... The wifi was set up totally wrong, all routers and repeaters worked on the same channel with wrong settings. The guys then shut down half of the repeaters changed the channels and tweaked the settings and voila wifi was amazing. I thought that was a pretty funny :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robproctor:
Can someone with more technical experience chime in on this. Its obviously clear that the wifi signal on the Prime is subpar, which is a shame because we paid a pretty penny for this device, and the reason for this sub performance is due to a blatant oversight by the manufacturer. Which, has been resolved, but only in the new tablet model, which in my opinion is even more of a slap to the face, especially (again) considering how much the tablet costs. Now, I am not complaining much about this because while a crappy old phone can get 70mbs a wifi connection my Prime can only get, usually, around 30mbs, though I have seen it hit 70.

But here is my main concern, and I am sure ALL OF YOU can feel the pain of this. It appears that due to the weak signal, the device overly excerpts its resources to try and attain more signal, HOWEVER because of this it seems like the battery suffers quite extensibly, which is what leads me to believe the reason my battery usage shows wifi usually 100% as the top most used butter sucker-upper and it's usually by a landslide. This, if it is the case, really upsets me. Because, while I can live with an average 30mbs wifi connection (because cmon thats more than the ISP even provides), I would not be happy knowing that due to this manufacturer oversight the battery drains an addiotal 20-30% quicker than it would if this were not the problem.

Am I wrong here? Is wifi really not a problem for the battery? It is just odd to me that wifi shows up as using sometimes 50% of the battery!... And OMFG im NOT even joking, just checked battery usage and wifi is showing 94% of the battery.. that seems like a bug there is no way that could possibly be correct! 94%! lol wtf!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Jep i've been seeing that as well. It started with .21 when ever you use wifi the battery drains noticably faster. I also wrote a PM to Gary about that with screenshots and everything, i really hope they can change it back to the way it was before .21 because my wifi didnt improve, but my battery life did get worse.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
you do bring up a great point but wifi will always be the biggest battery drainer. along with display brightness. its a good theory THST if wifi was so poor, it would waste extra power trying to maintain or always look for a signal. Thing is, I don't consider wifi performance THST bad across devices to warrant that. what you saying is like if wifi barely even had a signal and was always connecting and disconnecting the signal. then yeah, extra power is being used to try to maintain it. but that's not the case with majority of primes. some primes have great wifi strength, others have decent strength, others have huge dropoffs in speeds after moving so far away from the router. But i haven't heard of anyone not being able to really pick up their home signal or even barely. wifi in prime good enough across the board to properly see and maintain signal. some peoples issues are when you move far away from the router and the dropoff in speeds.

like I said before, wifi will always be biggest battery drainer. I leave my wifi on 24/7 and I'm overclocked and I still get great battery life. maybe in last update Asus did increase the power signal output of wifi. but nothing so drastic to drain battery dramatically faster. we have an update coming so we will have to see how battery life is after it. whether it improves, gets better, or gets worse.

Also, if this thread starts to turn into another complaining/whining thread, it will be locked. Almost everyone is aware of the limitations of this device (or lack there of), and there are more than enough threads already posted discussing wifi/gps issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
My battery drain is only when Im docked. The wifi kills the battery in the dock pretty fast as it's constantly trying to charge the tablet. If I set wifi to turn off during sleep then theres no drastic drain and acts normal. Just like if it was undocked. When undocked even with wifi always on even on sleep it doesnt drain fast. Maybe 1-2% an hour. This issue has been mentioned before on another thread regarding battery drain during docked.
