[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
Hello everyone, I'm new to XDA, and also new to Android, I've got my note since a few weeks.

I got some questions/problems, and I hope that we can solve them.

1. Skype

1a When video chatting over Skype, I only see myself just for a few seconds, and then the screen (Not the actual screen, but the small window that shows you) goes black. Is this normal? Or is there a way to fix this.

1b When video chatting with someone, the person can't hear me, is this normal(No the mic. isn't on mute) or do I need to use the/a headset. That would be weird since the phone has his own mic.

2. Wifi

When connected to a wireless network you can still see that the phone is scanning for wireless networks, I find that quite useless, since you're already connected to one. Is there a way to turn it off(the searching) I think that it might actually save some battery.

(What I'm talking about happens at: Settings > Wireless and Network > Wifi settings> In the "Wifi networks" bar it says scanning every second or so.

3. Poweramp(purchased)

3a I purchased a 32 GB SDHC card class 10 card from Samsung and I used it for some days, until I found out that we can also use a 64GB card, so I bought that one. But now the thing is that when I browse my music through Poweramp I still see the files that were on my 32GB card.(But of course they won't play.) When I create a playlist, these "Ghost" files are also included, and when a "ghost" file is about to play Poweramp gives me an error that the folder can't be found and then Poweramp stops playing.

3b Sometimes a song plays and suddenly Poweramp skips to another song without the previous song reaching it's end. This ALSO happens when the screen is OFF. Anyone else got this issue?

I got some other minor problems but I can live with those, so I won't mention them.

Thanks for the help.

4. Ringtones

Is there a way to get custom ringtones per contact without installing additional programs?

At the moment I got RingoLite, but sometimes it just resets the contacts ringtone to default.

I'd prefer to set custom ringtones without additional programs of course.

I did look on Google for an answer, but I only found a way to do it at older Android versions.

Contacts > select the specific contact, then options, but there is no such thing anymore. Unless I'm just blind...

Edit 2:

5. Customizing

Since yesterday I got ICS stock, I was able to get it with the help of Check Fus.

Now that I have ICS I decided to root my phone. I used this topic to root:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647148

Now I want to do some more customizations, like change the battery indicator in the status bar. I found out that I can do that and many other thing with

UOT Kitchen. But I'm a bit stuck using UOT Kitchen. I have chosen all the mods at the Kitchen website, but at "File upload", I don't know what files I should upload, since it only says what files to upload when you have

Froyo/Gingerbread. So now that I have ICS will this even work? And if it does. What files do I have to upload?

The other question is: at some mods you have to choose screen size, which one do I have to choose for the Note?

At "File upload" (Kitchen website) I have chosen/left the "flashing folders for system files" on /system/framework and /system/app (For framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk) are these paths still correct for ICS?

@ Status bar mod, what screen size do I have to choose and does the transparency work in ICS (Even though it says Gingerbread only) .

I guess that's for it now, I will edit if I forgot a question.
