[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nogloww:
How difficult is it to root the Note right now? I was thinking about getting one soon but I don't have too much experience rooting devices (I've got a Kindle Fire running CM7 and I rooted my old Samsung Intercept, but those were pretty much rooted with apps or a prebuilt program so I can't take much credit). But I would definitely like to root it. I have gotten used to the freedom already.

Also, what's your overall opinion on the Note? I've heard a lot of good about it but I haven't heard much from developers personally.

I know its size is a prominent aspect but it's also what I like least about it (I haven't held one in my own hands yet though). If I'm into the capabilities of the Note but not its size, should I just go for the Galaxy S II?

Any and all opinions are welcome from Note owners.. I'm trying to make up my mind by the time I get my tax refund back (finally!) so anything you can tell me about your experience with the beast is appreciated.

Thanks,

NoGloww

Rooting is easy, you can use Odin to flash a pre root kernel. Takes all of two minutes. I enjoy this phone a lot. I wish there was a better choice of accessories, i.e. cases, and am afraid to see how gigantic this phone will be with an Otterbox case. Pretty much all good besides that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nogloww:
Thanks for your input. I've checked out a case for it already on Amazon. Have you seen this: Heavy Duty Hybrid Case - Silicone Case Skin + Hard Protector Cover Case (Black Silicone + Black Bracket) with Foldable Stand for Samsung Galaxy Note/ i9220

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0071AQNVW/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8

And yeah, an Otterbox? Oh man, I don't even want to think about it haha.

Do you have a link or thread for the root with Odin by chance?

The hardest part of rooting was getting the Samsung drivers (which wasn't hard lol)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Willanhanyard:
Rooting is super easy. Just download odin, and cwm, and flash it to your phone. Then flash a Kendall or custom rom and done. Takes about 15 minutes for me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonEsch:
I've seen a few, but the build quality isn't where I'd like it. The reiko I hear is sloppy, the kracken is supposed to be good, just looks bad. I've got a speck case and it's embarrassing. 800 phone wrapped in scratched crap. There's a pre root kernel by da g, if all you're looking for is root, that's the way to go. Once you flash that your counter goes up one so it won't matter if you decide you want to go deeper and flash a custom recovery later down the line. Sorry I don't have the link for it, but it's in dev section for this phone and it will have all the appropriate links for drivers, Odin, and kernel.

update, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22684223 there's the pre root kernel for this phone along with drivers etc. that is the reiko case I saw. I read reviews on either that one or that one in black/ blue that said it was a sloppy fit. 7 bucks beats 60 though. According to Otterbox the defender is 6 1/8 * 3 3/4 or somewhere around there. I don't know if that would even got in my pocket anymore

I picked up two cases from Amazon since they were so cheap:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0071AQNVW

Fits perfectly; a bit too bulky for everyday use

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H13M2K

Also fits perfectly. Nice and slim, but provides a good grip. It's what I keep on the Note.

$22 for both. Prime got it to me the next morning. Amazon also has 32GB micro SD for under $25 if you are placing an order anyway ;)

Thanks,I'll Keep that in mind.
[HTC Sensation] RandoTheKing:
I replaced the digitalizer on my HTC Sensation and now it has the No Sim Card error. I've seen a few other users on the internet with the same issue but no solution was posted. Looks like my only option is to try rooting the phone and then unlocking the sim? Anyone have a work around to this issue?
[HTC Sensation] OneOneSix:
hmmm this may sound stupid but have you tried removing the sim card and cleaning it and reinserting?
[HTC Sensation] RandoTheKing:
Yes, of course. The issue isn't with the sim card. It works in other phones
[HTC Sensation] RandoTheKing:
Well I just S-Off, Rooted and sim unlock and I'm getting the same issue. Guess it's bricked...
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
here is the update for the wildfires (VM)

This includes radio, and hboot.

It is custom recovery safe, and requires unlocked or soff

http://goo.im/devs/simonsimons34/marvelc/Update_for_firmware_4-27-12/PG76IMG.zip
[HTC Wildfire S] jchavez1993:
Will yu update bluerdige 2.1 with this
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
working on it now actually :)
[HTC Wildfire S] jchavez1993:
Yay"!!!!!!
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
Actually, some of it will be updated. Im adding everything thats been updated, and making an ODEX and DEODEX'd version for everyone and fixing some small bugs. This download is the one thing that wont be included and for full tech support from team blueridge you must update to this radio and hboot (only if you are Virgin Mobile USA)
[HTC Wildfire S] jchavez1993:
I'm on virgin so triple yay!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
Will I have to re-unlock bootloader after this? Also, is the Goldcard S-OFF method compatible with this Radio/HBOOT?

Also, what radio version is this?
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
Soff before you upgrade, if you want to soff. Soff will always stick, along with unlock. You wont have to re-unlock the bootloader. The radio Im unsure of, but was included by HTC. And i can attest that the signal is way better for me atleast. It solved the problem where I was getting an error with too much data streaming. Hboot is v 1.10.0001
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
How long should it take to parse? It found the PG76IMG.zip, but it said it was parsing and never did anything. I waited 5-10 minutes. There wasn't a progress bar in the top right like normal, either.
[HTC Wildfire S] stangdriver52000:
I am having the same problem
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
Shouldn't take too long. The only thing I can think of is that your not S-Off
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
I'm not. When I follow the S-OFF tutorial, the Goldcard.exe app doesn't reformat so I reformat elsewhere and I continue the process after wiping on another computer and HBOOT tells me "Security Fail!" when I try to flash PG76DIAG.zip and PG76DIAH.nbh. However, since S-OFF problems aren't directly related to this, I'll post in the Blue Ridge thread or general.
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
You upgraded before soff... Downgrade to the oldest possible hboot ruu and then soff and then upgrade again
[HTC Wildfire S] plaitanz:
i installed it but the screen became off and now it doesn't start... what can i do to restore it? i can't also switch on the phone with vol - and power... please help me
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
this is VM only. But an ruu should do the trick
[HTC Wildfire S] midgetman7782:
May I ask what's new?
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
A new radio with slightly better reception and a locked hboot.
[HTC Wildfire S] midgetman7782:
What a rubbish update:eek:
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
I thought so too.
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
Its not "rubbish" its an update with a better radio, no recovery gets wiped, and if your smart your already soff so you can downgrade hboot if you wish. But if you want fastboot commands you must update your hboot, and unlock. Even With LOCKED at the top of the screen you can still flash whatever you want in zip form.. LEARN

UPDATE:

I received the dock yesterday but didn't have a chance to play with it until today. Overall, I really like it. As indicated, there's no way to use it with a case on your phone. I have the extended battery and it's a very tight fit with the extended battery backing on. The battery charger seems to work well also with my spare battery. Also, as someone else mentioned, it's virtually impossible to remove the phone from the dock with just one hand. I'll try it with the standard battery cover, but I suspect it'll be the same.

I actually ended up buying one branded by "Cellet" on eBay as well so now I have two :). They're identical as far as I can tell, just with a different name on the front.

Like many, I've been looking for a dock for a while. Ran across this one on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007PKBVN8/ref=ox_ya_os_product

It has a spare battery charger for the CDMA version which is great. Only one review, but it's a good one. I Google'd a the brand and found good reviews on other docks so figured I'd give this a try. If anyone else has tried, please share your experiences here. I'll put a review in too once I get it. I just ordered it today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
Had one like that for my DROID Eris, worked well. Unfortunately the Nexus doesn't have the durable finish of the Eris, I'm guessing this won't work with a case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndroJak:
The only thing I didn't like about this unit (as mentioned in the Amazon review) is how difficult it is to remove the Nex from the doc - two hands for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] al2x:
Just bought this dock. I was mainly only in need of a battery charger, but for the extra $9 a docking mechanism seems good, plus the battery charger doesn't look to be as cheaply made as the $10 hong kong products that are up on amazon. Again as always, I'll fill you guys in with some pics when it comes in.

[HTC Rezound] survivalist9167:
I know this has been threaded many times.. but with updates to players and new players, I'm wondering what you all are using these days and pros and cons.

I've used PowerAMP fairly exclusively and when I wanna stream for some music I don't have or wanna hear different things, I use Slacker Pro.

I love PowerAMP, but am getting a little tired of keeping all my music on my sdcard. So I have been toying around with Google music..excuse me, Google "Play" Music (eyeroll)... Combined with DSP Manager, I must say its pretty good. But I don't think its good enough to ditch the power of poweramp.... Id put it at roughly 80% of the sound quality of PA.

Yes im using a Rezound, but I HATE beats audio. All it does is add some bass.

So what are you guys using?

Winamp any good? I heard it syncs with desktop app...?
[HTC Rezound] MR4Y:
Media Player Classic.
[HTC Rezound] vvvvv5:
I tried almost all mediaplayer finally now I'm sticked with PlayerPro Music Player....

I didn't like winamp....ya it works with your PC wimamp software but I suppose only it's pro version.....
[HTC Rezound] MountainDew Man:
I use power amp I've tried other music players but its the only one I keep going back to, it just has the best sound quality IMO.
[HTC Rezound] Parcae:
Power Amp is well worth the five dollars. Its customization options make the difference - you don't want the same level of bass and treble on everything.
[HTC Rezound] s0ja:
Spotify + DSP Manager
[HTC Rezound] CataVlad:
poweramp and miui

poweramp and miui. but i like poweramp most. they both got shake gesture controls

[HTC Rezound] twingoonz:
for me I use n7 power pro and the stock music player. Sometimes cloud skipper they are all different I just try to see which one sounds good to my ears.
[HTC Rezound] cl8:
I personally use Winamp, although it is slowly turning bad (paying to adjust sound levels?), poweramp was alright when i tried it, but i see no reason to pay for a media player when the stock ICS media player and winamp do the job just fine.
[HTC Rezound] zioness23:
N& Player for me, i like the interface of that player ...

And i also prefer ZPlayer because of the Windows mobile music player interface:)
[HTC Rezound] jordiluna:
Have you tried PlayerPro or n7player? are great

[HTC Rezound] MissionImprobable:
Maybe I missed something, but does anyone know why Google Music still has no player widgets or lockscreen controls?
[HTC Rezound] prasad12ka4:
Power App all the way
[HTC Rezound] troyism:
or why the hell they haven't made other widget options like transparency.

I still use Google Music or Winamp Pro ... beats audio mod
[HTC Rezound] MissionImprobable:
I stand corrected: they have a whack looking little 4x1 widget that it looks like someone took five minutes to make. Shame that such a great music concept has received so little polish.
[HTC Rezound] zioness23:
I use N7 player because i like the interface:)
[HTC Rezound] Lither:
I personally like PowerAMP
[HTC Rezound] Morpheus NS:
I use Google Music, haven't even tried any other player...
[HTC Rezound] darksurfr:
The beats audio thing is good only if you have Beats headphones. It recognizes it and optimizes the equalizer for the headphones you have plugged in. My Beats Solos sound quite good on my Evo LTE. I honestly haven't tried any other players yet but just wanted to point out that the built in stuff works good with Beats specific headphones.
[HTC Rezound] bellium:
im using winamp for most of the time it can play 9/10 files. only for mkv and streaming i use mxplayer.
[HTC Rezound] dgaud007:
Last time I checked PlayerPro was the only program to correctly display and sort by AlbumArtist, which for me is essential. But I haven't checked the other programs in a while.
[HTC Rezound] graco2213:
PowerAMP the best

Wysyłane z mojego GT-I9000 za pomocą Tapatalk 2
[HTC Rezound] MissionImprobable:
I've never had any issues with Music Mod or Google Music not displaying album art properly. MIUI's built-in player also does this fine.

I like Winamp for it's ease of use for streaming music over bluetooth, but I got rid of it because it autostarts on boot and always runs in the background. I know I could get a start up manager and take care of this but I don't want to download another app just to control one or two programs.
[HTC Rezound] kyramas:
winamp for me too!
[HTC Rezound] dgaud007:
I meant that when browsing for artists in my collection I only wanna see the artists that recorded the albums, not every artist that contributed on every album. This especially critical when you have a lot compilation albums like classical / jazz types. Ex. I wanna see 1 Andrea Bocelli in my library, not 12 different Bocelli's and guests singers.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iman79:
Hello everyone, I got the Rogers HTC one x and put in my fido micro sim and set up the apn, it worked for an hour then stopped working. Phone calls work and I can text message but no data unless I connect via wi-fi. I factory reset again and set it up again, however the same thing. I constantly have to reboot the phone to make data work again for a short period then it stops, then I need to repeat the same cycle again. Has any one else experienced this? Any ideas on how I can fix this issue?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mattymon:
Is your phone unlocked? If not, you need to unlock it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iman79:
Didn't unlock it. Was under the impression it would work for fido since someone else claimed it worked for them with a fido sim. I will try unlocking it then. Thanks for the reply.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] killathenoob:
Go into your network settings and change the option gsm auto/wcdma auto/LTE auto to just gsm auto/wcdma auto

I had the same issue with my phone I unlocked it and set it up with Telus and everything was fine until a couple days ago when I was getting the same issues as you. Hanging that setting worked for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ~David:
You don't need to unlock it, the One X from Rogers will work on Fido and Chatr out of the box.

(Proven by the fact that you can connect. If it as locked, it would never connect. The phone wouldn't let you.)

I have a feeling it's because Rogers hasn't enabled LTE on the Fido network yet. So my suggestion would be to disable LTE on your One X: Settings > Mobile Data > Network Modes > Select "GSM / WCDMA auto"

Edit: Beat by killathenoob :P
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iman79:
Thank you for the replies. I tried that however it still loses connection after a bit of time passes. Sometimes the sim gets reconnected on its own then loses connection fairly quickly again. I hope its not a faulty phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bongd:
Mine's from Rogers and I'm using Rogers in a non-LTE enabled area and it worked fine out of the box. His should as well and I don't think he'd need to change the radio settings in the service menu. But perhaps he may... it's the first I've heard of it.

Maybe get Fido to reset the connection from their end and power cycle it. It may just need to be reprovisioned. They've had some challenges in the last little while and I also had to get transferred to a few reps when I changed my SIM back to my old one temporarily (bricked my HTC One XL for a day but thankfully unbricked it - whew!).

Hopefully it's nothing more than some simple provisioning challenges. Maybe Fido was having the same issue in their centers.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iman79:
So far, I have tried calling Fido and even went to the store to have them try to troubleshoot it. They reset the data connection and I powered the phone off for a few minutes, still the same. Even trying a differnt Fido micro sim gives the same results so it can't be my sim card either. I will have data connection for up to 15mins then it stops working.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bongd:
I'd ask for a device swap. That doesn't sound normal. Now's the best time to request it as well.
