Hi all ... call samsung just now.

for starhub 3G issue. Please following the below step.

1.Under Access Point Names :Choose "Reset to default"(click left button)

2."Gee!"---change "Proxy" to blank "Not Set"

3."Network Mode" ---"WCDMA only"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joshua:
My upload speed is da bian...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qbell:
Wa...much faster than mine...

The speed testing is under starhub 3G?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Nazar78:
I was from starhub all this while and was only getting 1MB-ish.

Last year upgraded to note thus switched to singtel and so far I can never achieved the speed I had with GB at any time of the day since upgraded to ICS...

ICS - Franco r4 - DXLP5

GB - AbyssNote 4.2 - DXCL1
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joshua:
Nope..on Singtel...

Used to b on Starhub but the network/Data cannot make it..vommit blood so changed to Singtel...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] keithleyson:
Are you on a much higher plan ?

I have the old iFlexi Plus account with the free 12gig data from my old iPhone but my speed is usually maxed at 3.5mbps on my Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sean_FD2R:
My speed also pathetic...crawling pace!

StarHub the service provider!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joshua:
I also on iflexi plus with 12gb data
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
WiFi

Generally, you just cannot expect too much from the data plan, it is just so unpredictable.

Wifi as much as possible.

For me I usually stick to places that I already has multiple WiFi access keys , these will be my preferred places of visits or hanging out.

Places without WiFi, I will usually not do much with my phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joshua:
Whats that "EQ" on ur top left corner of ur status bar?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Nazar78:
The Equalizer app, they changed the icon recently. I prefer the older icon though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rathian:
Singtel's 3G is equally crap la.... i stay on the 5th floor, and i cant even get a decent 3G data speed sitting on my bed.... plus in the middle of the night, 3G would jus disconnect and i would notice that i cant get a 3G connection on my note unless i cycle airplane mode...

i'm on CM9 with DXLC1 modem btw... going to try DXLP9 modem soon....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sean_FD2R:
I guess we have to wait till next year to enjoy the LTE speed.

With StarHub..my download speed somewhere 4mb n upload 450Kb (pathetic speed) off peak!

Need Assistance

Hi guys,

I am simply getting more confused than ever.

I want to upgrade to ICS but the risk of bricking the device scared me.

Am currently considered as a new android user having the below configuration.

ROM: 2.3.6, N7000DXKL2

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-N7000DXLA1-CL886914 dpi@DELL170 #2

Build: gingerbread.DXLA1

Basically, I rooted my stock rom using using DooMLoRD v4 method. My current Gingerbread is ROOT so to speak.

Having this above configuration, how do I go about upgrading to ICS stock rom with root?

I remember vaguely that I need to unroot the device first? If this still correct? Can I just simply update using KIES like that without affecting the phone or increasing the binary count or yellow exclamation mark etc?

Do I wipe or don't wipe, and how should I wipe it? Via reset factory setting etc after upgrading the ICS? Sorry really noob here..

Can I backup my sms / contacts etc using KIES and restore it after ICS?

Please advise, and appreciate it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sean_FD2R:
If you are on stock room, u can update to ICS via kies n is a non wipe upgrade. My S2 n N7000 both also didn't wipe before upgrading. And so far so good, no FC.

You may wanna back up everything before upgrading. You may do it via kies.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
Klies - Will Lost Root

If you upgrade via Klies, you will lose Root.

Which version/direction are you thinking of heading, Stock with Root, custom stock or AOSP?

I quote based on Stock with Root, in view your present GB is already rooted, use Mobile Odin, flash Stock (SG Version - http://www.hotfile.com/dl/156659230/b114250/N7000DXLP9_N7000OLBLP6_SIN.zip.html) with custom Franco kernel selected, wipe all cache added to options and flash.

that is all. you will have a rooted stock ICS.

Edit: my 2 cents, migrating from GB to ICS, I urge you clean install instead of doing a version upgrade. also do understand the EMMC Brick Bug, the default samsung Kernel is also affected, therefore recommended to root with alternative kernel.

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

I had been using LB1 for quite a while, IMO, good.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mamborol3:
Thanks lewisteo for your reply. It is actually one of the most fruitful reply i got.

Regarding the clean install, dont mind sharing how do I do so? Do you mean I can have a choice during the process?

For the alternative kernel, can you also advise any suitable and reliable ones? thanks in advanced.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
Try Them All

Apart from stock kernel which is embedded with EMMC bug, the 3 major CF root 5.6 versions, Franco and Speedmod are safe to use.

The above is true if you prefer a stock rom with all Samsung Apps intact example Snote, smemo etc.

If AOSP is an option, it's kernel are all safe to use, you need to try them and then decide.

Apart from these there are also modems of various sorts that can be explored also.

when I say clean install I meant painfully trash all your data of GB origin and start from scratch, full wipe your phone and start afresh. when you are in ICS, and jumping from version to version, you can keep these data as restore alternative.

Again, if you had all your necessary data backup properly example in Gmail or Clouds like dropbox, i really do not see where is a need to restore your GB data.

Again the above is my personal opinions.

The works to follow, you need to read around and select your preferred path to move forward.

Good Luck with ICS, for me, no regrets at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mamborol3:
thanks once again. although I do not understand fully, but I do have somewhat a more clearer direction. thanks!

dayum.. i'm thinking of getting a new phone, but not sure note or s3 T_T or wait for Note 2. Any suggestions my fellow SG'ians!!?? Is note battery better than s3?? And is it possible to get the note to be as smooth as the s3 is? Cuz i've seen the sample sets in m1 shop, scrolling is a little laggy..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mamborol3:
Thanks! I have upgraded mine with the below path.

- Wipe my current rooted GB

- Upgrade ICS through KIES (PC)

- Root using dr.ketan method via CWM

- Flash Kernel via mobile Odin. (NOT PC ODIN, WARNED not to) (to avoid bricking issue with official kernel)

- Wipe using recovery console, clean reset which does not affect root.

- Restore back data.

Thanks for your advise. =)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
Good

Glad all had went thru fine :)

Anyone tested what's the best modem for Singapore ? Particularly Singtel ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
LB1

Singtel and on LB1, generally fine in all aspect.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] silverstream:
What abt batt life? I tried a few, but mainly to test signal strength. LB2 and LR1 has pretty strong reception.

Will give LB1 a shot
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
IMO

IMO battery life is very dependent on your usage habits and of cos how well the rom sleeps.

I use only black and white for my theme, cancel most sync except for the important ones.

Most of the time my phone is plugged to a charger.

To solve the problem even further, I have a portable external battery that is originally meant for my Notebook, now charging the phone outside, I watch videos for hours in coffee shops.

You ponder and decide :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kopicha:
M1 user. On Stock ICS Rom (rooted) with Speedmod kernel along with XXLR1 baseband. Over all stable reception on calls. Pretty good HSDPA speed and good on battery life as well. Battery life is definitely much better than Stock ICS before root and modification done. Hope this info is useful.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] silverstream:
A good and stable modem should theoretically use less battery than one with lower signal .... but hopefully someone has some real life analysis.

---------- Post added at 04:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 AM ----------

Interestingly, watching video don't deplete batt as fast as 3G/Wifi ... I can watch an hour non stop and only drop 10%.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ahhoe:
I am on GB unrooted and wants to have it rooted, but still staying on GB reason being there's few claims that ICS is not buggy and a battery drainer.

I read through some thread that I have to downgrade, root, then upgrade my software. I got kinda loss and dun wish to brick my phone becoa of a dummy mistake.

I m more of a visual person. Is there any video tutorial to help out?

Any link is appreciate. ;)

Need help with rooting

Fellow Singaporeans!! totally didnt expect to find a thread for Singapore users..

Im currently running on ICS Stock and i wish to root it. So which is the easiest and safest method to do this?

Wht is CWM? Is it to flash custom rom? So is it true tt i can flash custom rom like CM9 or Paranoid Android from PC Odin, Mobile Odin or CWM recovery?

So sorry.. really a total noob in this thing.. tried reading by still quite confusing with too much info..

Hope to hear from you guys soon

P.S.: Totally new flash, rooting and stuff but wish to learn them all..

Actually no need to downgrade. It's extremely troublesome that way. Let's be honest, any flashing of firmware will bear the risk of bricking. The current rooting method for ICS on Gnote works just fine. It is easy and simple if steps are being followed. At least as far as friends around me who did it including myself have not encounter any issue.

For those users in SG, which modem are you on? In any custom ROMs I'm on, I always flash DXLP9 modem which comes with stock LP9 SG.. I thought it's official for SG so it's the most suitable.. Tried LR1 which comes with LPF Taiwan, also quite on par.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Thai Damen:
i am on LPT... LP9 is stock.. asia region is using LP9(thailand too)

lr1 is the lastest one.. have not try that.. but LPT give me good wifi without dropping... i face dropping of wifi at times when i was on LP5 n LP9, thats why i stick to LPT..

i have good battery life.. n signal doesn't drop at all..basically when i was on stock.. my note doesn't last 3/4 a day even when it is in sleep mode.. battery still gone in evening.. currently my note is lasting longer.. when in sleep mode.. basically it doesn't even consume more then 1-2 % batt without compromising with my sms or notifications

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Thai Damen:
gn heating up when in use is a common issue.. it will heat up when video apps are runnning or some other heavier use on the ram.. its pretty common n it happen on all roms..

try searching gn heating up, you will see it is a common issue

as long as it is around 4+ temp it is ok.. get spy cpu.. n battery temp apps(they are free in play store) you can monitor your tab that way..

i am still waiting for jelly bean hehe..

oh.. you all might want to take note.. everytime a rom is install the gn will be warmer then normal.. so if you keep installing rom like 24 times a day.. you do risk getting the main board over heated n eventually burnt the main board.. mainly developer have lost their device becuase of that .. so control the number of installation n re installation on roms to a few daily if you are a reviewer :)
