My upfront apologies if this has been posted already - I'm finding that with stock messaging app (which stinks) when a message is received the whole phone essential locks up. It comes back but it just sits there. Is this the messaging app or something else? Better off doing it thru data via Google voice? Go to different SMS app? If so which one do people reccomend? Thanks!

We are getting ready to switch from sprint to att. I am looking at getting the note and I have a few questions. How is the gps chip in it? Have there been issues loss of service or sleep of death with the note? I currently have an Epic 4g Touch and it has issues with LOS and SOD as well as a weak gps chip and I am hoping that samsung didn't do that with the chip on the note.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayRokk:
You might get loss of service but 99% of the time its because you have the wrong modem

Samsung went above and beyond on the GPS. The Note has access to the usual AGPS and GLONASS, making it basically the most accurate phone out there.

Well first off the note is a great phone i love mine. And as far as the gps goes i used mine just this weekend to get me all the way to beach(which is a five hour drive for me) and it never lost conection once the whole way there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] porkenhimer:
AMAZON.COM has it cheaper than BestBuy. Get the Note or if you can wait save your money and wait for the Note 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dincdoes.me:
Note 2 ... Jesus... Get the note he needs a phone now not in the distant future lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
If you have a sams club near you check them out for a note. I bought mine there and the nice thing about them is you only pay tax on their prices not full retail. Though amazon you don't pay taxes at all :-)

I guess it depends if you want your phone today or tomorrow will determine where you go.

As for the phone, it's a wonderful phone and everything else it can do, just make sure that you play with one so you know how it fits in your hands

Hi All

Hoping someone has the good grace to help me out here.

My Indian 3G variant Flyer was updated OTA to Honeycomb which unfortunately resulted my tablet basically locking at the white HTC logo screen.

I've followed a number of tutorials here with no luck trying to get it back to GB.

Tablet Info:

Locked and S-On

Hboot - 1.11.0003

Microp-0950

Radio-3809.07.004.06_m

eMMC-Boot

The issue I am running into in when I run the GB RUU for my tablet.

I get the Error [140]: Bootloader Version Error.

Would appreciate some help or where to from here please.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Was your flyer rooted or anything prior to attempting the update?

Flyer
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
Unsure unfortunately, I bought second hand and was running stock GB, but it did have the Revolutionary Hboot.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
your hboot now says s on but you were s off prior? That does not make sense to me

Flyer
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
Yes that how it stands at the moment, was on Stock GB then updated to OTA HC.

Nothing but the white HTC screen after that.

Followed Globatrons HC downgrade tutorial and now just get stuck at the RUU install procedure with the Error [140] Bootloader Version Error.

Appreciate the replies mcord.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Couple of things

Sure you have correct ruu

Which downgrade procedure

What steps in the downgrade procedure did you accomplish
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
Oh man, you are testing me, I've looked at multiple threads concerning downgrading. I'm sure I followed this How to return to S-On after revolutionary first and foremost.

And got through to the RUU install, then that's when I get the error.

Im pretty sure that my RUU (RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_India_2.27.720.1_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_205504_Signed) is the correct one but I'll check my cid again to make sure.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
I am nottesting you just trying to figure how screwed you are

Ok so you were s off when you tried OTA, first mistake

After it failed you attempted to return s on, second mistake

Sounds like you succeeded in pushing s on hboot through recovery but now your ruu won't run because you show a hc system that is newer than the ruu you are trying to run

I think

I think you want to try to gain soff using revolutionary first
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
No problem, just a figure of speech :p.

Yeah, like I said bought second hand so was unsure of the unlocked/locked state. But after going through these issues, Im learning to become very comfortable with Fastboot and the guides here.

Ok, so how do I gain soff with revolutionary without booting into Android and no adb?

Again, I appreciate the help mcord.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Not sure this works but try this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194709

If not maybe htc dev unlock

I am concerned that you will not have USB debug enabled and that could be a problem

Do you know if a ruu exist for your device for hc
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
Yeah I've looked at that, the issue is 'Note: The device should be fully booted to android now, do not go to the bootloader or fastboot.'

I'll have a look at the HTC Dev Unlock but unsure if they even do it for the Indian Flyer.

Was thinking the same thing in that I may have to wait for an HC RUU to become available, which I do not think has happened yet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
We have to get you recovery
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
I'm all eyes and ears mate.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
No s off no htc dev unlock I think I am out of ideas outside of maybe a gold card of another version of hc but I am no help in making one
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
Hey no worries, appreciate you jumping in to help out.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jutley:
I think I am going to have a similar problem my flyer wifi model os due back Friday from repair I had to restock it all cause screen was playing up.Well htc will upgrade it to HC as standard so what would my option be?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
Does anyone know if there is an Asia/India Honeycomb RUU available?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mhkabir98:
Yeah, HTC dev unlock does work for India Flyer, but nothing to do with India, just chose Flyer WWE
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
Thanks bud, a long shot but I'll ask anyway, will the WWE RUU also work on the Asia/India Flyer?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
ok, I've managed to unlock via HTC Unlock Bootloader.

Device Info now is:

Unlocked

S-On

HBoot 1.11.0003

Where to from here team?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
I think you need to flash a recovery, my guess is gingerbread recovery, then this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18508210

Buy since you cannot bout into Android you would try the adb steps in recovery

Flyer
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
I've flashed recovery thanks mcord, the Revolution recovery which worked and tried flashing LeeDroid and the accompanying boot.img.

Those flashed all ok however I still cannot get past the white HTC screen.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mhkabir98:
Now that you have got recovery, you can do the adb commands, just following whatever guide you were using from the step where you left off.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
You need to downgrade to GB

Flyer
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
Appreciate the replies guys, but just how exactly? From what I understand I still have the HC 'hboot' which basically tells me to 'stuff you' when I try the GB RUU.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Follow me here

You were gb s off then tried OTA

OTA cannot over write s off hboot and your device had hc parts with gb hboot

You returned s on but still have gb hboot

You gained htc dev unlock but to my knowledge you still have gb hboot

Link I posted earlier has steps to adb push a file that should let you then flash a hboot gb ruu provided it is the correct one for your device

This of course depends on my understanding of what you did being correct
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
Thanks mcord, basically yes, that is where I am at.

I'll have a look back through the thread ([GUIDE][Flyer+View]Gingerbread S-OFF/Recovery/Permaroot?) for the file to adb push.

Will keep you updated.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LallyNZ:
You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.

All nice and dandy on stock GB 2.3.4!

Something to note, on the Downgrade from HC beta leaks or official HC OTA to Gingerbread thread I had to use the adb commands from the

A big thanks mcord!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
The difference in command lines probably was because you were in recovery and not booted android. In either case good to see you are up and running

i want htc flyer asia rom ple ( ROM Version: 3.60.720.1 )
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] harsh2012:
I had the same problem last year

how it happened is that I rooted my FLYER 3G GB and then updated it to HC by going in the setting>about phone>update

it updated but hanged on starting on the HTC white screen

but my tablet was in warranty so I somehow unrooted it again and

submitted to service center they took one week but changed the internal main board and thats how my problem solved....//

So I can say you were rooted and then tried to update.

You can unlock your Indian Flyer by the HTC Dev Unlock method, I have done it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rotohammer:
I've done countless tests trying to tweak the AT&T Note to get better data speeds on T-Mobile, but it appears the best solution may be the simplest.

Tools required:

Propane torch

Hammer

9ft (3m) 18 gauge wire

Ok, forget the tools list, get some aluminum foil from your moms kitchen drawer and some sissors and start cutting some pieces like I show in the pics below. It's trial and error, but very easy and requires no special tools or mods. The foil size and placement is very subjective to how you hold your phone and the type of case you have. There may not be a one design for everyone, but I'm hoping with more folks testing we can get closer to optimal.

FYI, this works due to one of two priciples, detuning the stock antenna or by becoming a passive radiator. I dont have the tools or rf credentials to figure out which it is. Who really cares anyway?

I've attained dowload speeds of 9500kbps and upload speeds up to 2600kbps.

PS: Don't blame me if Mom yells at you for using all her foil!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xpprofessional1:
i can't wait to try

this, i hope it works for me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] babymatteo:
Does the brand of the foil matter? Lol j/k...can't wait to get out of the office and buy some foil on my way home.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rotohammer:
What's really funny is all the detailed effort I put into strategically placing strips right on the antenna foils underneath the screw cover to find the sweet spot, for it only to fail once the screw cover was re-installed. A real pain, considering how much better the external foil works. The key is to let the foil touch the metal shell under the back cover as you snap it back on.

I think this pretty much will prove that its not the radio, but in fact just the antenna design once and for all.

The amazing thing is you dont even have to unscrew anything or glue anything.

Just lay the foil strips down and snap the back cover on

Windmobile can go up to as high as 8 Mbps down, and 300ish Kbps up on a SGS2 T989

but on my NOTE, the highest i ever got was 3 Mbps down, in the same spot were my T989 gets 8 Mbps down

so this thin foil trick will be very interesting if it works.

then i can finally dump my SGS2 and use my G.NOTE as a full time phone :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
well pretty much everywhere i tested I noticed an improvement of my down/up speeds.

some better than others. i really doubt if its a placebo effect.

still more testing.

best of all, its a free mod. go pick up a gum wrapper off the street.

I'd love to try wind too, but i cant justify spending $10 more/month. they only have 2 plans !!!

Mobi's 100Mb/hr then throttle (for rest of hour) is killing me.

Rotohammer, have you tried giant sheets of foil or would that block signals? Or maybe longer strips in a s type pattern?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
I hear if you use a red marker on the foil, you'll get three times better results!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Afishl1:
I tried this and I'm not sure if I'm getting better speeds or not since mine are fairly inconsistent to begin with, but I have a theory...

If any if you recall, remember how people have said they get better speeds when they have fewer bars (this happens to me as well)? Maybe the foil is actually just lowering the bars and thus increasing speeds?

Btw, my thought on why that happens is maybe the phone is coded to send more power to the antennae when there is a lower signal thus increasing speeds?

Sent from the Galaxy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rotohammer:
Yes, buts smaller thin strips give the best results in my tests. I had luck with a 5x5mm square taped right over a spot on the antenna itself, but as soon as I re-assembled the case it went back to crap. I only get good speed when I hold the phone with the current strip. In my car mount its back to crap uploads. Hence theres more tests to be done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rotohammer:
I tried it, even strips of bacon taped onto the rear case, but no joy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cyi1:
lol i just tried this and my down speeds got noticeably slower... from 1.5mbps-4mbps now down to under 1mbps. The upload speeds however have gone from 150-300kbps to 2.4mbps

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Drunken1:
Tested here in Cleveland OH,

did speed test before, just to see, got 3128kbps down, and like 87 up

used the strips like in both pics at once, got a drop in speed up and down.

Using the method in the first pic,

Got about 4127 down, and like 991 up.

It definitely improve's upload speeds, download increase was only marginal, but it definitely impacts data. Thanks rotohammer!

I'm running Saurom Rom RC4, using the Blaze Modem, gonna flash the Updated Saurom Rom and see if it makes any difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
Agree here- improves uploads speeds. Does little for DL speeds.

Before the foil strip on the bottom I had DL 4-7 and UL of .2.

After foil strip DL was 4-6 and UL was .8-1.

I just flashed the sgII ics modem and it's working better than my ATT speeds. Except my ATT UL was 1-2. DL was 2-3.

Only better on lte with att was in the red zone! But I use it mostly in non lte areas.

I can live with these t-mobile speeds. I may be switching. I will monitor the note for excess heat that I had when I flashed the first modems for GB.

I'm running Flapps ucl2 ics rom. I am in North Jersey and these speeds are very good compared to my initial tries back in april when the fix was first figured out. I don't seem to have much heat but it's early.

The foil definitely helps upload speeds.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erodelite001:
tech at T-Mobile told me that they use 1700 and 2100 band together on all 4g phones

the one for ATT note only gets 1700

so in July im buying t-mobiles note when it comes out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] goalcam:
This device actually is capable of 1700mhz AND 2100mhz, but there has not been an official modem firmware released by Samsung that allows the usage of the 2100 band. There have been a number of unofficial modems released from previous phones that use the same chipset as the AT&T Note that allow T-Mobile 3G, but some of them are not terribly stable.

In any case, you can make the AT&T Note work on T-Mobile, but if you don't need it right away it might be best to just wait for it to come out on T-Mobile. Keep in mind though that there has been no official announcement from T-Mobile about them getting the phone, let alone a release date. Also, once we get the modem firmware from the T-Mobile device, we may be able to replicate the same performance on the AT&T device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
according to tmo news its gonna be released July 11th..

but yeah no official word
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Drunken1:
Only reason I popped for the ATT version is that I have grandfathered Tzones aka cheap data, and all of the recent phones have been imei locked, meaning they force you to upgrade to the expensive data plan, which isn't an option. Also trying to stay out of contract which means buying devices outright. Hurts up front but you save in the long run. Like everyone else, eagerly awaiting the release of the Tmo Note, cause the ROMS that will come out of it will be great for us Tmobile users. I guess I'm just blessed, Here in Cleveland, The Blaze modem works pretty good on gingerbread, just flashed the OnlyONe ICS H4per ROM, and the siileakedmodem has been pretty good as well. Was able to watch Netflix in the car while wife went in the store, good enough for me.
