I am glad i upgraded to galaxy nexus!!

Hi anger management people,

Just to give you an update. People were mentioning that I would regret UPGRADING to Galaxy Nexus by now.

YOU ARE WRONG, I LOVE THIS PHONE. I don't even think about my galaxy note. This is exactly what I wanted and needed.

A nice clean uniform modern ICS GUI, smooth and responsive. Not to mention, the battery life is awesome! Comparing to Galaxy Note, this has almost twice the juice. For example, I woke up at 9 am and battery lasted after hardcore use almost every hour until it finally died at 1:30 am the next day! And this is with all the widgets I wanted actively refreshing and all syncs activated. I could never do this with my Galaxy Note, even conserving battery by purging all unnecessary widgets and syncs, hardcore use would only give me 8-10 hours max.

In addition, I ordered the extended Nexus 2100 battery for even more battery long lasting goodness and as a bonus I heard fits well with the standard stock battery cover. So I don't even need to buy a special case/cover for it.

Furthermore, the ability just to pick up the phone and check my daily activities with one hand is a missed blessing that now I have regained.

Not to mention, I played all the games I had installed on my galaxy note. Exactly same performance.

Oh and one more thing...

Some of you said that Note ICS would make Galaxy Nexus software advantage obsolete. You are dead wrong. I saw the latest videos of Note ICS, it's same old ugly TouchWiz with almost nothing resembling close to ICS on Nexus. Enjoy rooting your devices only to remove all the crapware Samsung has installed on Note to save a few percentages of battery process. This is also the same reason, I turned away from S3... I want pure vanilla experience directly supported by Google, not samsung/carrier garbage apps and OS layers.

I LOVE THE LED NOTIFICATION ON NEXUS!! Brings back to my BB days!

ManicDVLN,

You certainly are a troll teasing all of us note users.

But at at the end of the day you'll always have the latest update

and we'll have this 5'3" beauty.

And as for latest updates (stock roms) once we get official ICS/Sources, no one would give a s**t to future updates.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GocaS6:
Well what can a man say? I wouldn't take that Nexus crap if it's a last phone in a world. Vanilla Android? Why the hell would i need OS without anything in it? Speed related? My Note will destroy your Nexus in every single aspect! Even on GB! And Touchwiz!

So, back off you and your "upgrading" :cool:

Hes damn right, i was having the galaxy noté when they release it , its nice only for the big screen, but a little annoying when im walking and try to use it with one han, i did install a ICS vanilla ROM and its not working as well as on my Gnex, they are 2 different phones, Pros galaxy noté: bigger screen, HD display, pros galaxy nexus: STOCK Vanilla ICS updated by Google, HD display as well. Cons galaxy note: too big (its a pro and a con for differents reasons), Touchwiz, updated by samsung, Cons galaxy nexus: not gorilla glass, mmmmm i think thats all :) by like a said, they are 2 differents phones , both are nice, but i personally prefer the Galaxy Nexus

PD: The Gnote its more expensive only because its big screen.

:rolleyes:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GocaS6:
This is what i really don't understand. You're actually tryin to prove to us that Nexus is better phone then Note.

Well let me tell you genius, you'll never make it because that's impossible. And you can try for a next 100 years.

Enjoy in your silly upgrade, hole XDA community is tellin you that you're actually downgraded, but no, you're the smartest guy in the world.

Well enjoy genius. Goca out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ManicDVLN:
Well don't take my word for it since its Google who promotes it. Google directly supports it and Google even sells this phone exclusively. So Google, your smartphone deity, favors it over note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Princeomi:
Looks like one kid went to the car dealer to buy a car, not sure which one to buy. He saw an SUV Lexus 570, was quite impressed by it. Did not look at any other Sedan and bought it straight away.

Quite ok, but then he could not handle the SUV. He could not see the road properly because of his small built. His garage was not big enough for it. He had parking problems. The SUV's fuel cost was more than the Sedan. He got frustrated, sold the SUV and bought a Sedan Corolla.

Then he thought that others who bought the SUV would also have the same problem. He went to the SUV thread and ranted about how smart he has been. He sold the SUV and bought a Sedan and called it an upgrade!

Naturally the SUV owners were laughing at him, no matter how hard he ranted very few bought his argument.

Frustrated, he said he would never visit the thread again, but could not hold his resentment about selling the SUV and getting the Sedan. Comes back to the thread, more rants than before!

Moral of the story : Buy what suits you and do some research before buying!

Its like claiming the I upgraded from Cyanogenmod to stock rom as the camera now works! Hey its an known issue.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k@ke:
S-Pen scratches screen.

-No it doesn't. It scratches screen as much as using your finger.

Can't use with one hand.

-umm, you didn't know that before you bought this phone? It has 5,3" screen!!!

Display issues, banding, lines and distortions.

-Really? Maybe you had a false Note. All cristal clear and bright here.

Heavy

-Once again, 5,3" screen and this is very light weight for this size phone. Gym?

Battery drains too quickly

-Well, so far GNote has the best battery life i've seen in a smart phone. I've had iPhones and Nokias before.

Flimsy battery cover

-That is true. I've seen better.

ICS upgrade taking too long

-It took five days after your post and we have Official Ice Cream Sandwich update for our Galaxy Notes.

Price is tanking too fast

-This upsets you why? Come on! You would think that after 6 months of the release date, the price might come down. Still this doesn't affect anything how your phone works etc.

Phone feels slower than Gnexus when it has better hardware.

-I haven't compared them.

TouchWiz crap

-What's wrong with TW? Works smooth.

No LED notification.

-And we have a deal breaker!

You have just downgraded your phone. Congrats!

This how I felt when I finally got my Galaxy Nexus.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOsHoqhbUIU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] marc.tulley:
It is all down to preference but I think the majority think its a downgrade.

Last week I UPGRADED ;) to Note from Nexus because I am a big fan of bigger screen real estate. When I went back to my nexus after two days of note use I knew I had made the right decision.

Dont kid yourself with the battery life mate. At stock the Note is definatly slightly better but if you put franco's kernal on your nexus you will be laughing.

I admit Touchwiz is a little retro compared to the GNexus interface but I used Nova (as distributed with AOKP) and I'll do the same when I recieve my ICS update!

I did love the superb dev support and safe flashability on the Nexus! Its definatly a dev phone dream.

In summary.

Reason for Note: Big fat screen

Reason for Nexus: NFC (minor), LED notification (minor) and google/dev flashing action

Everything else is VERY comparible

Now ICS is rolling out these are the only factors IMHO and big screen gets my vote all day long

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] riesan:
What do we have here? This OP try to say he upgrade the phone and still post here and eat his words on saying wont come back to the thread but still comes back..

So what if you change to nexus... That doesn't give you a permission to go and try to insult users that are using Gnote... In whichever you look its a downgrade.. Just carry on with your precious phone.. No need to come here and mock us GNote users.. We love our phone and we dont care about your opinion on nexus... Your post are mocking us thats why some of us not really comfortable with your statement... Dont be an idiot and still say nexus is better than GNOTE as we love our note.... You sure will get flamed as this is a Gnote thread.. Not nexus

FYI big screen needs 2 fingers... Try 1 hand on tablet.. Can you get the picture? Just go enjoy your phone... No need to be a troller and try to change people opinion on Gnote...

but i have never been in love with anyone of them this much i love this amazing

galaxy note is not for everyone especially people who only use them to send and end calls ;)

I was by the way on ICS and i left galaxy S2 , why to worry once XDA is there :)

i have used nearly every custom rom and generally root each new phone on 1st day

tried all AOSP,AOKP, etc

i think you are the stock rom lover kind of user :p:p

well its your choice

what makes you happy is best for you

i would never ever change my galaxy note with even galaxy S2

its a revolutionary phone one of its kind

## Also Posted in Galaxy S forum, in error.

Hi, all.

I used Heimdall to flash the kernel as part of rooting my new phone. The messages in the terminal window looked good and I got the blue progress bar. The phone rebooted and I got a yellow warning triangle and everything freezes. I downloaded a kernel image from Samfirmware and now the phone boots without the yellow warning, but no other change. It still gets stuck. Can anyone help or is my phone bricked?

I can boot into download mode and am using a Linux PC.

At the moment, my options seem to be:

1) Use Heimdall to flash something? I have a 400meg download from Samfirmware, but don't know how to flash the files besides zImage, using Heimdall.

2) Get a USB dongle from eBay to reset the page that says I've altered the handset. This means I should be able to take it back to T-Mobile.

3) Go to a Samsung service centre and potentially pay lots of money to have the phone repaired. Anyone know how much this is (in the UK)?

Thanks,

Chris.

Flash a stock rom, den go to the service center and hand over d phone to them! Act like a noob! If they ask u how did it happen, u tel i slept off, then when i got up, and when i tried to switch on the mobile it got stuck! Simple! :p

Cant you arrange a PC with windows???

As long as you are able to get Download Mod, phone is not bricked...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Using Heimdall. Download the firmware from Samfirmware. Unzip it and you will get to the .tar. Unzip the .tar and you will have all the individual parts to put into Heimdal.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_debian:
Hi, guys!

Thanks for your help so far.

Unfortunately, I do not have access to a Windows box, apart from work, where I cannot download/ install executables.

I've downloaded the Samfirmware stuff, but just don't know how to get it onto my phone. I used Heimdall to install the kernel zImage, and that got rid of the yellow warning triangle, but still doesn't let my phone boot any further.

My first priority is to get the phone working, my second is to have a rooted phone that I can use better software on.

Thanks,

Chris.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_debian:
Thanks, bored_stupid. Quick reply as I have to go to an Amateur Radio training course in a minute.

I used Heimdall on Linux and flashed the zImage ok, I have not tried the frontend, but do have it installed. Do I run it as root?

Which are the best files to use? What would you recommend? I have seen so many links and downloaded so much stuff, I am confused. My original aim was to run Cyanogenmod, as that works well with my current phone (G1).

I would have thought to just follow the CM wiki [0], but for some reason, my phone isn't liking that file.

It may be easier to post the phone to you and pay you for your time :-)

Cheers,

Chris.

When I use the Heimdall-Frontend, I select a tar file and I see the decompressing progress bar. As it finishes, the frontend crashes and in the terminal, I can see the error:

This doesn't inspire me.

Looks like my broken 'phone may need a paid solution.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_debian:
Hi, still no luck with my phone.

Do any UK based devs accept SGS2 phones with the yellow warning sign, and access to the download screen, for fix and installation of new ROM, such as CM? I can pay for your time, as long as it's not too much.

Thanks,

Chris.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
I'm sure you won't need to do that, don't give up hope ;).

Considering you can get into download mode, and are able to flash kernels, can you also get into recovery? If you can, you should be able to do what you originally wanted still by simply flashing a kernel which has CWM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1118693) booting to CWM recovery, sending a CM9 installation zip over adb (or putting it on a microSD) and installing it from there.

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419102 for full instructions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_debian:
oinkylicious,

Thank you for your encouraging words.

I'm not sure whether I can get into 'Recovery' mode, will need to Google that one.

I have an external SDCard reader, so would rather use that, as I have found adb a bit 'challenging' in the past. :-)

My concern is that no matter which zImage I try to flash, they all fail. This leads me to think it may be related to my Heimdall (downloaded and re-installed several times), or the Debian based OSs that I have tried.

I haven't looked at the links you provided, but I guess I just need one good file to try to flash; I'd welcome alternative approaches, though.

I even considered using a 'borrowed' copy of Windoze (shudder), so I could use Odin.

Thanks,

Chris :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
You previously said you can successfully flash kernels.

Recovery = Volume up + home + power (from power off).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_debian:
Wow, major development. I've just booted into Recovery and things look encouraging. It says:

---

CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4

-reboot system now

-install zip from SDcard

-wipe data/ factory reset

-wipe cache partition

-backup and restore

-mounts and storage

-advanced

---

Does this help at all?

Thanks,

Chris.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berq219:
Yeapp thats it. Just download the ROM (.zip file) you want from the android development thread. Put it into your MicroSD card, then go to that CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 screen and pick install ZIP from sd card. Find the .zip file and your phone is back alive! You might wanna do the wipes on the CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 screen after installing the ZIP as well =)

Berk.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_debian:
Berk,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm really struggling at the moment (stress from work); would you be able to point me to the file I need? Ideally, I'd like to install a Cyanogenmod one, so I can use the CM Android App to manage my updates. Is it better to go for Stable or CM9?

When you mention 'the wipes', do you mean install the ZIP, then after successful reboot, reboot into Recovery and do the:

-wipe data/ factory reset

-wipe cache partition

?

Thanks for your anticipated patience.

I didn't put Gapps on the SDcard, because the guide said 'We recommend to use 20120317.'

It says get the latest version from Rom Manager, but it says I can't do that because I don't have a CM recovery installed! ?

Going to see if I can find the Gapps version quoted and put it on the SDcard.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pandamatak:
Device: AT&T SGH-i777

I accidentally upgraded to 2.3.6 today without doing a bit of research on it first. I learned the hard way that they took out the overscroll bounce effect and replaced it with the blue "glow"

I would like to revert to the bounce effect by any means possible, however, I have found that even cm9 uses the overscroll glow effect (with no option to change to bounce) - is this true?

If so, I would like to bring back the bounce effect that was present in 2.3.4. Not only does it affect the settings page but the overscroll effect seems to extend to basically all the apps (including Google Talk, where it bugs me the most). I want to know the best way to bring the bounce effect back system-wide and I'm willing to root my phone just to do it.

I'm not a big fan of 2.3.6's "features" anyway, so if I have to, I can also downgrade to 2.3.4. If I were to downgrade to 2.3.4, I would like to preserve my data and (hopefully) unroot my phone as well so that it's basically back to what it used to be before I got curious and tapped the software update button (I was on 2.3.4 for a long time without being forced to update, it was only after I tried to check for a software update that it began to force me to update, even after turning WiFi off (it resumed the moment I got back online))

Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
