Hi guys,

I am now a Htc Desire user. I used it for 2 years and I am considering buying a Note. I am coming from a 3.7 to a 5.3 inch screen ;-).

I have a couple of questions:

1. Do you have experience with the change of phones from a very small size like the desire to a note, screenwize? And what is your opinion about it.

2. I used to use a lot of roms for my desire, the development was really good. How is the development of the Note? What are the improvements if you root, other than that you can change roms? So what extra functionality does the note get if you root?

3. What about the build quality and the quality of the speaker?

4. What about the quality of playing movies on the Note.

As you can see i have a couple of questions before purchasing the note.

THANKS!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Desaf:
I forgot to ask about the batterylife. How is the batterylife of the note? With average and heavy use?

1. Do you have experience with the change of phones from a very small size like the desire to a note, screenwize? And what is your opinion about it.

After a day with the Note, you get really comfortable with it, and then you will never like a small screen again.

2. I used to use a lot of roms for my desire, the development was really good. How is the development of the Note? What are the improvements if you root, other than that you can change roms? So what extra functionality does the note get if you root?

Development is good. Root and Roms are the same as what you are use to on the desire.

3. What about the build quality and the quality of the speaker?

Build quality is solid. Its plastic, but it tight. The speaker is loud, especially when compared to the One X

4. What about the quality of playing movies on the Note.

I don't play many, but I enjoy the quality. Better than any other phone I have had.

Battery life gets me through my long 16 hour day with ease. Top notch

As you can see i have a couple of questions before purchasing the note.

THANKS!!!

If you think you will like the screen size, than you will immediate fall in love. If you are thinking it may be too big, than there is a tiny chance the size will put you off, but still you will most likely fall in love.

Roms are very decent, better than many of my previous phones for sure. Right now we are looking at official CM9 soon, iMilka's (discontinued) versions of AOSP and CM9 are pretty amazing all on their own though.

Build quality is basically the same as every other Samsung smart phone I have used. Very good quality, back plastics feel a little cheap to me, but other than that I have no complaints. Speaker is awesome IMO. One of the loudest phones I have owned and very good quality. The earpiece is somewhere in the middle. It's not amazing, but its good.

Watching movies/videos/games on the note is incomparable. It blows every other phone I have tried out of the water, mostly due to screen size, and my personal taste for Super AMOLED over that crap screen HTC uses (again my opinion).

Battery life - AWESOME. I get better battery life with this phone than any previous smart phone I have owned (see sig). It's still a powerful smartphone so if you use it really heavy you can still kill most of it off in a day, but with moderate usage this phone actually lasts 2 days for me, which none of my previous phones could do.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dazzlet:
I had a desire for 18 months them I moved to the HTC sensation I got my note 3 days ago and I had the same concerns as you but I do not regret it one bit I love my phone more than any phone I have ever had
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Desaf:
Hi crawlgsx,

Thanks for the reply. I prefer a larger screen. I travel a lot so batterylife and watching movies are important.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PetrSoap:
Note is a great start for a bigger screen

I came to Note from Dell Streak, the same display size.

Dell was pain in the as.... Every time you drop it - consider problems with screen.

The only detail I miss about Dell is MIUI theme.

Note works perfect.

I use Litening Rom v1.0

Hope MIUI will be ported))))
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] crawlgsx:
I would say go for it then, the chances of you being disappointed are less than 1% from the sounds of your concerns and needs.

The Note is truly an amazing phone, so much so that I have 0 interest in the upcoming S3 or the One X etc.. I will be holding off for "Note 2" and even then unless something changes I see absolutely no reason to move to another phone. The Note on ICS is blazing fast.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] willstay:
I realized I almost stopped visiting/reading mobile review sites. No interest in S3. I may skip Note2 too and directly go for Note3.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ariozo:
If you like it at start you will be in total love in the end..:) It grows on you...

When you have use a Note for a few weeks you will have hard let it go or use other phones.

I always get the new phones but in the end it is always my Note that stays and follow me everywhere..:)

So you guys are that positive about the phone?

I saw something about pentile. Do you see that on your phones display?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] americasteam:
Some do and some don't. I returned my Note because of it. It really is a great device though which made the return a very tough decision.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Desaf:
Guys thanks for all the replies. I decided to buy the note but one last question.

Which colour should i get? Anyone bad experience with the black or white version? And bad experience in terms of seeing scratches etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mastelotto:
Although I'm not a Note owner, I'd like to share my opinion if you don't mind.

Black colors always show scratches more than white. However, deeper the cut the more it shows.

You can always buy a case If you're not completely satisfied with the color too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rebooto:
i come from nokia 5800 touchscreen phone and once use g.note i fall dead for it...for my..it blow every phone in the market coz of the screen size ^_^...

as for color ...white seems to be the best as black color phone is kind of boring...haha

just my 2 cents
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
I have owned silver/black devices all my life until the note. Im a manly man, and thought white was for girls.

I decided to change my sgs2 from black to white when i decided to sell because it brought in more money. After seeing the white version, it openmy eyes.

I did the same conversion with my note after breaking screen(user error) and love the white even better than the black/blue now.

Just from what ive gathered from people is black makes the device seem bigger.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rebooto:
hmmm i always thought that white will looks bigger than black...especially with car.... ^_^
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jazztrucker:
Don't be afraid to get your feet wet as the water is lovely and warm,

the difference is immense between the HTC desire and samsung s2 and note, I had the desire hd and I wouldn't go back to one, I upgraded to an s2 and won't go back to a dhd then I upgraded to a note and now I won't go back to an dhd or an s2, honest you won't be disappointed, also I will have more roms than you can shake a stick at, especially the s2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lrcquest:
I had been an HTC desire user myself. Its a good phone. When you are looking for an upgrade, think you have to take a look at the S3 in terms of

- advancements

- stock ics

- screen size (4.7in) with good ppi compared to S2.

- maybe better battery life (due to larger battery ,better processor)

If you are looking of good development in the XDA

- i will suggest to take a look at the S2 section as there is gr8 development.

I like my G-Note but would suggest the size of S3 or even the S2 as appropriate for a smartphone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blazablaz:
I've had the white and loved it. I had to sell for financial reasons, but recently picked up a black one and honestly there both beautiful. A nice sgp screen protector takes the worry out of scratches so either choice is great. Black to me looks professional and white looks Hollywood :D your amazed every time you see it:p

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelby04861:
I am searching now, but is there a way to show non root status to an app that checks root status, or does one have to go in and modify the app to tell it not to check.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelby04861:
By the way, I did try the ota root keeper app and it seems to work right. My problem more specifically is I want the twc TV app to work but it says it will not work with a rooted device. It gives me the same message even when I supposedly unroot with the app. I can't use the HBO go or max go because of 4.0 ics. Kind of bummed at the moment. They figures out a way to install the checks, now to change that so I can use them again.

edit: Just found the app with the modified buildprop! Works great and now I can watch streaming tv on my phone again(with ICS root). Now I just need to find the hbo go and max go with the modified parts to them.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezster:
Supercurio's root keeper app should allow this, at least that is what other users have stated in market comments.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelby04861:
The app does do just that buy somehow the twc TV all still sees root access. It wasn't until I tried the version with the modified build.prop that it stopped checking for root access and allowed mr to watch TV.

Not no really. Everything seems to be fine. There is a small "hole" on the left side for the antenna. I've only heard that the Aluminum battery covers had problems with GPS.

That looks really nice, I'm using a castmate barley there at the moment but I do like the look of that. Would you recommend it? and how easy is it to put on?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rawr.itservin:
Yes i have no regrets in buying the bumper. The only complaint i have is my jack that i have in my home stereo is too big for the hole on top for earphones. Sorry i couldn't find the correct terms.

But everything else is great. There is cushions inside so in case you drop it, it absorbs some shock. The power and volume controls are easily accesed.

In terms of taking it off and putting it back on, It will take awhile since it's being held by 4 screws.

[HTC One X] Dacoco:
Hi,

i got my One X now and i plan to unlock the bootloader. But i want to wait a little but until i'm sure its not flickering and has no other build quality defects.

And maybe there will bei S-OFF in a couple of days :)

I wonder if its a bad idea to upgrade to 1.28 via OTA because of maybe you need 1.26 for a S-OFF method which may come.

Now the question:

Is it possible to downgrade a 1.28 upgraded stock phone by running the 1.26 RUU?

Thanks

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sivasunken:
Hi

I had a problem occurring frequently when trying to install TheMIDTeam 1.1 Codename "B&G".

Coming from the GB stock rom that can be directly rooted (Version KL3), I was on step 1. while using mobile odin pro and select install file. I choose the midnote base 2.1 and the kernel image zimage. then i select the all the options(Everoot, su, mobile odin and wipe data/cache). i perform the md5 check and it flashes and reboots into recovery.

the problem is at this point. it reboot into recovery but it reflashes everything that was flashed in mobile odin pro and reboots again. it does this repeatedly. even if i pull out the battery and put it back and boot into it. the only way to get out of in is to use pc odin and install the stock KL3 rom.

Please help in the install of the rom...

Thanks in advance

Try flash LP1 repack first with mobile Odin, reboot, flash again base and kernel. This has worked for me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sivasunken:
Thanks for the suggestion. could be able to provide a thread that allows us to download the correct lp1 repack and instruction to help install it.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] not-i:
You can download

lp1 repack from here:

http://www.mirorii.com/fichier/3/501208/I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK-tar.html

- Put it on your sd card,

- open Mobile Odin and press "open file", find lp1 repack file and select it.

- keep ever root, super user & inject mobile odin checked. Also check "wipe date and cache"

- Flash firmware

Once finished you will be in cwm recovery. Boot your device.

Then open mobile odin again and select the base file, then kernel file then repeat - keep ever root, super user & inject mobile odin checked. Also check "wipe date and cache"

- Flash firmware

Hope this helps

Some of 4.0.3 bugs are actually 4.0.3 bugs, not Samsung's fault.

They are fixed on 4.0.4. Remember, I said some. The rest of the big bugs are Samsung's fault. :p

Yeah I tried a lot of alternative browsers, and there are some of them that are better than the original, but still no comparison with GB stock! I mean, ICS should be better than GB, so I don't understand why they messed up the browser! It was so amazing in GB!

Anyway, which are the main differences between 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 ??

Howzit,

I've developed a few Android Apps and decided to check out compiling CM9. I've gotten as far as compiling CM9 into a working ROM.

My problem is this. I've been trying to use the sources of the HAL team (HepHappy, Lupo and AndroidMeda), but unlike them, I have been unable to get the camera working in my builds.

What am I missing?

I have the latests from github.com/p500 and I build using the following command: . build/envsetup.sh && brunch p500

Any advice on what I could be missing?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] htdIO:

I have the same problem. Force closes.

And a quick compare between our logs shows we have the same problem. So obviously we not compiling properly.

Are we missing some parameters with the build or the setup?!

Would a repo update (in other words: repo sync) have updated this. That was my thinking.

Or would I need to specifically apply the patch/update the source?

The patch hasn't been approved yet, so I think it isn't in CyanogenMod's github. If you check BoardConfig.mk in p500 github you will see that patch 13317 is mentioned. I'm trying to compile now, I'll let you know.

Well, I have edited the code manually. I don't know if there are othere ways to do it. They are just a few lines of code anyway.
