You cannot use Kies Air to update firmware it is only an app which allows file management on your phone via pc web browser. You have to use KIES installed on your PC or OTA. Start Kies first, then plug your phone into the USB. Hope that helps ;)

Anyone in uk / europe tried singapore version any issues?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Nayfuslis:
Hello fellow Singaporean. I updated to maysian rom yesterday.. Don't think any different from sg rom right? Anyone can help take screen shot at the settings showing the kernel version. Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mancuk29:
Use the pen press button whilst stylus on touching screen it shoukd do screen captyre after about 2 secs
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Nayfuslis:

My experiences IMO, since on ICS, never went back to GB again, performance and Black bandings on GB is noticeably worst once you had experienced ICS.

Should not be the other way around?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deathst:
That would be the entire of SG :(.. Hmm Must be Starhub..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Markuzy:
Me here. Upgraded via pc Odin to jb and then rerooted it.

Currently on the Speedmod jb kernel, wondering about any experience with lags or anything?

I'm considering flashing another Touchwiz rom (dunno, maybe Ultimate ROM) because of audio skips during runs with Endomondo with poweramp in the background.

I'm letting it stabilize first though.

In the meantime, the update removed smemo, the snote will import the smemo notes it seems, but failed to do so with password protected entries.

Loving google now haha.

Multi Window I still feel is kinda useless without it being modded in other roms to use all apps.

I've managed to figure it out using the Multi Window Manager app eh

Glade to meet users from Singapore.

My note is with Singtel, over a year already,

no problem other than the original charger is dead,

got plenty of chargers at home anyway.

Here I wish to share my experience with internet speed,

originally I'm able to get 3 to 6mbps depending on location,

that's very good speed.

But on the way I flash this and flash that, I couldn't get good speed,

thought Singtel start to limit my 3g speed, but now found it's my rom fault.

After trying a few rom with modem, I'm able to get 6mbps download speed again

with modem XXLB2 on cm9, I believe that the modem plays a very important part here.

if you guys facing speed problem,

can try flash XXLB2. It will make you fly again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] devll:
Isnt XXLB2 a GB modem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joshua:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mushmom:
It's safer to flash a stock GB ROM (XSP) through PC/Mobile Odin then upgrade via Kies. If you want to keep root, use Mobile Odin's Everroot. Don't flash directly as it may cause hardbricks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Leechoonhwee:
Shouldn't be ICS problem because I am on CM9 and data is very fast. It could be even faster than my home broadband. :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lwm99:
When I updated from GB to LPY, I needed to delete and re-create the M1 APN to make the mobile data connection work. Now I am on LP9 have not encountered any issue yet.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Markuzy:
I have yet to update myself (downloading the huge zip file now D:), so far so good with no reports of people bricking due to the eMMC bug on this ROM and kernal.

Someone on facebook got stuck @ n7000 logo after OTA, but probably an unrelated softbrick. Wiping and resetting via recovery didn't work.

He is now downloading the zip online for flashing through Odin.

EDIT: He managed to flash ICS via Odin to unbrick. Didn't catch the eMMC bug.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ycneosg:
I think is "DXLP9 Modem + Starhub" problem, a friend of mine (but is using SGS2) which had upgraded to the official DXLP9 (coincidently the same version as Note) ICS is also having the same problem with her Starhub data connection, and for Play Store it always time out. Have checked the APN setting, completed Gee! configuration for both internet & mms.

She has no such problem when using the Hydra H2O & HyDrOG3N (both based on AOKP) ICS built.

Hi all .

Anyone has a case of Galaxy Note colour display becomes extreme dark / tinted / purplish after updating to ICS 4.0.3 ?

Was from stock GB then update to ICS via KIES. Found the screen becomes very dark.

So I downgrade back to stock GB using PC Odin. Screen colour back to normal. Thus rule out hardware problem.

Update to ICS again using the stock ROM :N7000DXLP9_N7000OLBLP6_N7000DXLP5_HOME.tar ....and screen colour display goes back to black tint.

Uncheck the Auto Brightness - same problem.

What I noticed is , when I switched on my Note , at the welcome screen where you see " Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N700".. the wordings are displayed normally for 2-3 seconds before it changed darker.

Before I go Samsung Customer Centre at Plaza Sing , thought I could verify if anyone has the same issue ...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
If Klies, why not?

If you are upgrading from Klies, why not just download the entire stock rom, install via PC Odin, this way you do it once keeping the main OS as backup in your PC, you can revert if you need to anytime, and also you do not have to worry about network speed or availabilities. IMO :)

Well Important is the APN name of the Telco, the other infos upon connected will be pushed automatically to your phone.

Hope u understand what I meant, the rest of the infos are similar to DHCP. Key here is which APN to connect to when it was not detected maybe due to different CSC used, but if you used SG Rom, you can be assured all the blanks will be automatically filled in.

Of cos there are cases when you need to offset APN name because you might be within a Private VPN group.

A few post back please

I posted a few post back regarding what you might face?

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

The danger is the kernel in a full wipe operation.

just start fresh with a safe kernel like Franco (actually as of this writing only Franco for Stock Based), execute the full wipe as and when you wishes after that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrix Ashburn:
Do you have wifi issue with Franco r3?

Thanks but will not stay long..just wake up. Going to flash Criskelo.

I use when he just release and I like it. Now will combo with Criskelo+LP5 Modem+Franco Kernel.

But Idk as I ask about wifi on Franco r3
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Markuzy:
The danger lies in stock factory resets on non safe kernal too. The danger is there regardless of root.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
I Say Again

If you had read, the danger is in the kernel, and if yours is not rooted, you stand a chance to get into trouble if you Full Wipe your Phone.

In such scenario, IMO it is inevitable a Rooted phone with safe kernel should be the way to go for now.

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

My Wifi had been working fine, did not really have problem with Wifi before.

maybe it is the 5GHz thing, mine is G at WPA2, TKIP, and working well.

I am now flashing Midnote to test the DSP.

Maybe this thread should be rename as "Singapore User Group", sounds better right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrix Ashburn:
+1 Agree..Why not! We dont only stop for Singapore stock ICS.

Some flashing, tweaking and modifying posted here can make others Singaporean that never root/flash/tweak confident to try or to get some info as they know that someone from Singapore with Singtel/M1/Starhub network use it with no issue. Am I rite? Just my suggestion ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrix Ashburn:
Yes you can..if you encounter any error. Full wipe will eliminate lots of error.

GB to ICS seem quite a big update.

First attempt I do without any wipe.Im not satisfied.

Second attempt I do full wipe from GB, flash ICS full wipe again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
yes you can

All you need to do if you are on GB now, then Full wipe first before you upgrade to ICS.

Of cos if data need be retained, then do not factory wipe.

Technically, when migrating to a new family, that is GB to ICS, you should full wipe.

Because GB is safe, just do not do it in ICS.

Simple solution, right?

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

It is about Singapore relevant example APN, maybe if I up to my server, definately our guys here will benefit from the speed based on Geographical location.

On top maybe we can help each other maybe to the extend meet up or even resell some stuffs, etc etc... I think the idea is cool.

Need to ask OP of this, only he can change Title, right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrix Ashburn:
Excellent idea! Agree with that!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrix Ashburn:
Yes..you're right.

Yes..it not advisable. But i did it cause im on official ICS.

If anything goes wrong (touch wood), I still can go for warranty and say: after I update via KIES, I do factory data reset on setting menu..etc :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
In GB on you do it

You read again, I say to full wipe in GB, GB has no such bug, only ICS has.

If you want safety and requires a full wipe when you are in ICS, in a non rooted environment, PC Odin back to Stock GB, Full Wipe then flash to ICS.

safe and sound that is if you value safety of cos, if not, BTW your phone is in warranty so just go to Samsung if any misadventure should arises, they will honor.

IMO, similar to Iphone I really find no obstacle to why we should not root the phone, for me there is only advantages and none bad???

You tell me other wise?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrix Ashburn:
Is good if you're the OP for this thread or idk if you can overtake over the OP.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
thanks but No

believe me, I am a good teacher but never a good leader :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
NP :)

NP, we are here to help.

Yes, after ICS you still can wipe, but if done in ICS you stand a very Small chance to brick. alternatively you can revert to GB first before you wipe then go back to ICS.

If rooted, you just need to have a safe kernel and you can then come and go from any to any, even GB to ICS safety.

:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrix Ashburn:
You should not do what I do, cause that what I attempt but I not asking you to do it. So sorry if I make you confuse.

Follow as what lewisteo said: "All you need to do if you are on GB now, then Full wipe first before you upgrade to ICS."

Cheers ;)

If you need to root it, then I suggest Mobile Odin together with Franco's ICS Kernel, short and sharp, no need to follow Dr Keatan's step, I personally just tested it.

If No root required, PC Odin the stock and you are done.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sean_FD2R:
Thanks Josh,

coincidentally I'm on Starhub too, :D

Probably will wait for next release as I'm enjoying the stability of GB...on SpeedMod kernel. Battery life not an issue for me. Hardcore just released untested kernel might as well wait for more stable kernel from Hardcore.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
not recommended to restore but it is safe, the danger hrre is compatabilty then you start blaming the os, so developer will normally not recommend. plus if you install new, the apps will warn u if it feels might have problem.

i do not have game though, fyi.

no complication where you need to patch this patch that, 15 toggles, usb connect works out of the box.

add carbon tweaks, add only ram and dobly. and also backup your master startups for safety keeps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
hear me if you wishes, if you are coming from gb and diving into ics, do 1 painful cleanup and format everything.

after that, this will mark a new milestone, and you can go from gb to ics or aosp to stock.
