[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hajime_android:
I tried S3 and the Note (both with ICS installed) in a store side by side today. Although many people have mentioned that the S3 is faster, I did not notice any difference. (I have tried Note+ICS in different stores. Some devices are faster than the others for unknown reason.) The only time I saw the S3 is faster than the Note is from a youtube video which showed both devices doing the benchmarking. The S3 completed the task faster with higher score.

Anyway, I have decided to buy the Note. We all know that people who have upgraded from GB to ICS have many issues. Has anybody bought a Note with ICS pre-installed? Have you experienced the issues raised by users who upgraded from GB?

I have two choices: 1) buy the Note with GB, wait until Samsung release an updated version of the ICS with bugs fixed. 2) Buy the Note with ICS pre-installed.

I heard that down grading the OS is not possible. If I buy the Note with ICS pre-installed and I have issues raised by other users, can I install the OS made by the talented XDA developers? I heard that even the official ICS has a problem of bricking the device. If I buy the Note+ICS and not satisfied with the performance, will I be stuck?

Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Akiainavas:
Go for GB one. The update is already available so you can always update yourself - and what's more important GB is easy to root so you could run CM9 or any other ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hajime_android:
Seems like if I get the Note+ICS and experience problems as others reported, it is difficult to go back because the official ICS can break the device. Even Samsung gave the ICS source code to the talented developers here and a fix may be available soon, it will be too late for me to fix the device because ICS has already been pre-installed. There is no going back. Am I right?

If I decide to root and run CM9 or any other ROM later, can I still install and run Premium Suite? Can I also install the cool stuffs from S3 to the Note with CM9 or any other ROM? Touchwiz seems to be an UI made by Samsung. I heard that it slows down the device. If I root and run CM9 or any other ROM, I can opt for whether or not to install Touchwiz. Right? Won't I void the warranty if I root the device?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Belfia:
You can allways revert back to gingerbread if needed.

About cm9 and touchwiz. Thats a nono. Cm9 is AOSP and uses trebuchet launcher. Touchwiz is samsung own launcher that comes on top of samsung based roms.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hajime_android:
I am confused. Samsung told me that once upgrade to 4.0, I cannot go back to GB. Could you please clarify? What is AOSP? Is trebuchet better than touchwiz?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Akiainavas:
There is no way to downgrade to GB with built-in software updater. But you can always flash stock GB rom and revert the device to how it's been before.

AOSP is Android Open Source Project. Basically, CM9 is one of AOSP's iterations. And yes, trebuchet with CM9 is a lot better, smoother and better designed than TouchWiz. Look at CyanogenMod9 videos on youtube.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hajime_android:
Excuse me, what does "flash the rom" mean in the Android world?

If I have a Note+ICS pre-installed, I can still downgrade to the stock GB by flashing?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] glensta:
this doesn't explain it fully but its good information for you

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] apd:
Can I suggest that you get the GB version as it gives the greatest flexibility for rooting and upgrading (as the OTA update is already available).

Can I also suggest that you don't do anything about rooting / flashing until you have read a lot more on this forum. Once you're up to speed, you'll know the risks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desertegl:
tl;dr What files do I use in Odin to return to stock from a phone that boot loops? (i have no idea what software was on there before it started)

The phone came from Canada (Bell). Previous owner tried to unlock it for use in the US. Phone worked for a few days then turned off & wouldn't get past boot (it would show animation & sound then go into a black screen with menu/back key lit up). It was also missing volume up/down keys. Phone was given to me as I was moving back to Canada. Now here I am in Canada...

I've ordered & replaced the volume keys, got into download mode, and using Odin I've flashed "I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA". I've no idea what software version was on the phone at the time. I used pit 512. The phone reboots and...

The failed actions are due to me not having an SD card correct? And at the bottom there it says it applied the CSC-code 'KOR' for Korea? I'm in Canada.

Now the phone goes into a loop, flashing the "Galaxy S GT-I9000 Samsung" logo on and off for ever (no animation or sound this time). I also tried flashing the latest from sammobile (under GT-I9000M). It's a single file and that put me in a boot loop as well.

Any advice greatly appreciated!!!

I was thinking. We dont have any windows applications for our device at the moment. Would it be possible to build a java based application that re sizes apk files. like say you got a framework from the one s and u want it re sized to our dpi 240. you open the app select the apk file you want to re size then select the DPI you want it re sized to then select do job..... wait about 10 minutes and its done :S This can be done but are any of you nice developers (java) willing to do this. this then can be used on ANY device and will help many many developers like me out. :) i hope this can be done for all our sakes. thanks very much and thanks to all the people who support XDA this is the greatest development forum in this world

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fsured:
When streaming video from youtube, or other sites and I hit pause during that stream, the entire loading of the stream will stop. Whatever is buffered will play but the stream will not resume loading from that point forward.

Example: Say I'm streaming a cartoon from the web and the clip is 5min long. About 2min into the clip I have to pause it because the phone rings. When I come back it will only play another 30 seconds and then stop (the stream which was already buffered plays). The player will just show the little symbol for loading/buffering but the wifi transfer icon on the tablet is doing nothing. I will have to reload the page and the video from the beginning.

The same can happen if I try moving around the clip. If I wanted to jump 30 seconds into the clip or backward in time it can trigger the player to stop loading. It will also happen if I open another app and return to the browser; like reading a new email. If I'm using netflix to stream I don't run into this problem. I assume its because of their programing in the app etc.

Is this a limitation to streaming video on mobile devices when it doesn't complete the buffering if interrupted? A computer will just continue to buffer it into memory for playback but are mobile devices set up to stop that loading so that memory is kept free? I know our primes have browser issues with freezing and rebooting but I don't know if this is part of the browser issues the broader prime community is experiencing.

I am on stock os, I use boat browser and the stock browser, and tried the suggested remove all browsers, uninstall flash, and reinstall trick. My phone has always been bad at streaming video so I can't really compare that with my tablet.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cardinalryan:
Hello,

I am brand new to the forum and a 5 year iPhone user who recently switched the HOX.

First of all...I love the phone, but I'm having some real issues with messaging.

My wife and I both have the HOX...using the stock messaging app, it seems that mms messages (that are below 600mb) are taking a long, long time to be delivered or are not being delivered at all.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix? Any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bothfly:
Yes, I'm having MMS issues from time to time as well.

Sometimes a picture will send, sometimes it wont.

As for MMS video, you have to take the video from within the message app, it wont work if you take a video from the camera app and try and send it like you can on the iPhone.

I'm from the iPhone as well and these little bugs are annoying but spend a week or so on this phone and try and go back to the little screen on the iPhone, I did and didn't like it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cardinalryan:
Oh, I agree 100% with you...the iPhone looks like a toy to me now. I've been using the HOX for almost two weeks now and for the most part it's been a good transition, but some of the little things are starting to annoy me...like this mms thing...I don't even use mms that much, but if it's a feature, it should work.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Well then there really is no need for a video guide because it couldn't be simpler. You should also make yourself clearer in the OP, saves everyone time.

1. Update to the latest stock ROM 3.14 with radio 2.15.50

2. Download a ROM from the SD section

3. Place the folder labelled Android (it may have a different name, but it is essentially the folder in which the files are directly stored) on the root of your SD card

4. In WinMo go to the file explorer, open the file explorer and run CLRCAD then HARET.

5. After first boot, reboot a few times then enjoy Android

Here's is a few video's about the question you have along with a useful video about XDA.

1. Useful video on being new to XDA

2. Several video's about installing Android onto the HD2 can be found here and here (if you want a sense ROM download a sense

ROM instead of the one in the video) the steps however will be the same for either

3. re-read each step several times over and try to get an understanding of whats going on

BEFORE

you begin to flash the ROM over

4. if you are stuck and can't figure it out use the search button to try and find answers, still stuck

open a thread up and ask for help

5. I'd also like to add that if your really desperate there are tutorials you can buy on ebay ($2-$10 normally) and a person on

facebook found here that will do it for you for an enormous charge. I think its under LARIS in the middle of the page

Hopefully this will get you going and you can use the video's along with the guides other member's have provided already. I

forgot to add that there is a really great site that has a great video on installing Android along with some other useful video's

like reverting back to stock and how to load a custom ROM with easy step by step instructions. Here's the link to that.

Does anyone know of an external antenna for the GN? Perhaps a backpack style or battery door or even a case that plugs into the external antenna port?

I live in an area where I often have very weak or no signal. I have tried several radios and have similar performance on most of them. So I figure the better fix would be a better antenna.

I guess as of now I will just suffer since I really dont want to goof up the connector. I did destroy the connector on my Vibrant and had to solder bridge it. I used the wrong connector and it got stuck and actually ripped the connector off of the vibrant, so i solder bridged the 2 points on the board before even powering up the phone for fear of blowing out the radio while not having the antenna connected. It worked the same after "removing" the connector so it wasnt a complete loss.

Oh well maybe Ill look into a wilson amp or something similar.

I've noticed a strange glitch in the Android music library. Any albums that I download from Bandcamp come up with a very glitchy-looking black and white album cover in the album list view, or just no cover at all. Once a song from the album is playing, the player screen shows the album art just fine. I primarily use PowerAMP for music, but since it utilizes the android library, this is more of a problem with Android than the app, I think, as the problem exists in the default player as well. Does anyone have any clue as to why this is, or how to fix it? Thank you. I'll have some screenshots below.

This is for my HTC Raider from Rogers Canada.

Below is I've done

1. sim unlock, by use the code bought from internet

2. unlock bootloader via HTCDev (bootloader for ICS and bootloader for GB).

3. S-OFF via wire trick.

It runs Dark Raider v1.5.4 with stable kernel, without SIM card, so far so good.

But when I try to use Rogergs sime card, I got boot loop issue like this :

It can boot the ICS system, show unlock screen, and can even unlock screen by sliding circle and get into home screen and check app drawers, but when I turn off flight mode (thus turn on radio), after a while (20 to 60 secs), it will reboot; and again, reboot to ICS, after a while, reboot, .....

I've try other ICS ROMS/kernel combination, such as

AT&T VIVID ICS with stable kernel, no lucky, same boot loop

AT&T VIVID ICS with stock kernel, no lukcy, same boot loop

Try to use FIDO sim card (use rogers network), no luck

but if I change to my old T-Mobile sim card , it works fine, and it find rogers network and even show me it's 4G. (T-Mobile use Rogers network in Canada). No reboot loop anymore.

Can anyone here give me some suggestion about this issue?

BTW : My raider use the new HBOOT to boot ICS. If I want to switch back to GB, can my new HBOOT boot GB? or I have to downgrade HBOOT?
