Guys,

I am not sure if its related. After I installed .81 test kernel, the externel SD card is not getting mounted. Also, I cannot see the pictures and videos Albums in the gallery app.

Went back to .79 and still the above symptoms.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
Devil 0.76 was most stable for me, so I'm going back to that. Newer builds give me massive battery drain overnight or the screen being unresponsive and very dark, which forced me to do a battery pull and reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Hey, I recently just updated to the .79 version, and this version gives me the green flash before unlocking bug, i didn't have it on the previous version.

I am running the version "Devil 3_0.79 vibrant CFS BLN CMC #371

Der, just made some changes to CM9 and we now use the Froyo RIL. To stay compatible for most people, you can disable the aries-ril-daemon and make it start on the bootanimation in your init.aries.rc.

[Vibrant Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Thanks. Is there a way to check, which ril has to be used? Other ROMs still may need the other ril.

[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
Well it may work either way, it's just changing at what time the RIL is started, not which RIL is used which is up to the ROM
[Vibrant Android Development] Demetris:
Hey, FaultException am in Europe and i use I9000UGKG3 RADIO/MODEM i hope that Ril change wont mess up my phone :P

Edit: And also cripple the use of Nexus S modems ;)

A 4.1 Nexus S modem is near the corner and am very eager to try it.
[Vibrant Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
here is my new test kernel.

it's compiled with latest linaro toolchain now, by using O3 compiler flags to get more optimized code.

i also have added the support of the "new" froyo ril
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
I occasionally get a dimmed screen that stays dim, and the touchscreen is unresponsive. I'm forced to do a battery pull. Could this be kernel related, app related or ROM related?

Any help would be appreciated.

can we have windows 8 ported on our galaxy note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tknguyencsu:
I would be very interested if there is a way to do it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyrirhcp:
Same here, but I don't think it is possible
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akilesh:
??

Why would you wanna go to windows 8 with android around ? Android on G-note is much more powerful than with windows.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravepark:
incase you haven't checked the "apollo" and it's capabilities please do a brief research...

windows phone 8 is on a whole new level of competition here...

considering the release of windows 8 for our computers... and the Microsoft E3 press conference... i doubt that "crappy" tag someone just gave above this comment...

i've been using windows mobile 6, 6.1, 6.5, windows phone 7, mango... and galaxy note is my first android device...

before galaxy note i was using htc hd2 and i still have that device... (but galaxy note is my primary device) so i thought if we can port android on a windows phone why can't we port windows to an android phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravepark:
and for the respected people who are interested in this idea... i think we need another version of MAGLDR (like we had in htc hd2) and maybe we can install the "apollo" on our SD card...

we may have a dual boot device!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praetorius:
if you can find (or develop) the drivers, yes... it can be ported.

and yes, i dare say any winblows product is crap :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravepark:
you may "dare" **** your pants or eat crap sir/madam, nobody cares about that... and if you find this post soooo uninteresting or "crappy" why bother replying nonsense thoughts of your p-brain which (...is actually dehydrated) aren't useful for anyone?!

and thanks for the motivation you just gave me... :]

i posted this question to discuss, maybe help real developers/people not assclowns/disrespectful people who don't even respect the hardworking developers who create these operating systems for us...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akilesh:
Its my humble opinion !!!

I was also a user of Windows and bada OS' . And with android around they are not even in the competition. And this is my own opinion, so i'll move it off.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
Android is, indeed, more powerful than Windows. But, different strokes for different folks.

Since we have sources now, I'm pretty sure more developers will come along soon and hopefully, for your sake, a developer that can port Windows 8. The more variety, the better, for us all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravepark:
the last line this person wrote is what i had in my mind...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PetrSoap:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DuperMan:
Not in TEN MILLION seconds! ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akilesh:
Being fair, would it be worth to port it in d note cuz, it involves a lot of time and much more risk( With mmc brick bugs in stable releases themselves).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravepark:
LOL sir i don't even know if there is an apollo device out in the market... it is due to release to my knowledge... :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshuaTumanda:
If you want the windows UI, you can install launcher 7. It's a launcher for your note with the theme of windows 8. try it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravepark:
it's not just for the launcher... it's for the windows phone experience

the developers can try porting mango for now untill apollo releases.. :]
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praetorius:
don't hold your breath. those sources are linux based as android is linux based. do you expect devs to develop a winblows OS based on a linux kernel?

maybe.... just maybe.... when the winblows kernel is freely available and somebody is really interested to port or develop the drivers, then maybe you might have a winblows "experience" on your note. and while you're at it, why not wish for iOS port to Note?

keep wishing........

people hate it when the absurdity of their delusions hits them smack in the face.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TanyaOnTelus:
Just flashed tdj's new ICS beta 7.1 and am having problems replying to emails. I'm using my hotmail account as a premium Samsung email account. Sending a new email is not a problem, but when I reply to an existing email, i get an error message saying the message could not be sent and is saved in the draft folder. It actually gets put in the Outbox folder but won't send.

Honestly, I'm not a complete newbie but this has me stumped. Had the same problem in his beta 6. But when I was using his GB ROM, I can't recall any problems with email like this.

Are there some settings that need to be made? Does anybody else experience this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] seamus24:
Me too. Exactly the same issue. Maybe when T-Mobile releases their ICS on June 12, they'll have a new premium email program that works with it. Telus version doesn't have premium email so "Push" uses up lots of battery. BTW what Radio are you using. I'm using LDE but not impressed.

Please delete this thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
(See notes below re this recreation.) Here is what happened when I connected my Samsung charger to the USB port of my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (unlocked O2 UK model) as usual earlier today. I smelt smoke from the USB port. I pulled the plug and saw a yellow flame, then started coughing. The unit would no longer charge. The USB cable came out charred, as is the socket. This video shows the cause under a later recreation - it seems when something pushes very lightly on the central USB 'fin', just like when you plug a charger in, it creates fire.

NB: This recreation was NOT the cause of the issue, and I am not creating a short circuit here. The fault started for the first time when inserting an official Samsung charger today, and happens with any USB charging cable too. I used the method shown in this video later, because it leaves the USB socket open so you can see the flame. I am placing the tool under the USB central fin, whereas the flame occurs above it. There is something between the top of the fin and the circuitry that has a manufacturing fault. I held my breath whilst making this video, with the window open.

[YOUTUBE]lZCvbSIgr90[/YOUTUBE]

Obviously this is very worrying, and I spoke to Samsung's 'Office of the President'... who [edit] are sending out a warranty replacement device on a swapout basis as I cannot be without my phone (it still works! I rely on it for work and have no landline). Initially they refused, but after I posted this thread things seemed to change. They had only told me to send mine in and that "it could take a few weeks to repair". A person I have spoken to before going by the name 'Greg Crenshaw' of the Office of the President also said that my inhaling carcinogenic smoke was "of great concern to us" and that I should "seek medical attention". He could not confirm they would pay such medical bills.

Under the circumstances of their product catching fire, I'm pretty appalled they would not originally offer me a replacement swapout, especially as I started my call to the President's office by asking if the smoke would be carcinogenic or toxic to me. All I wanted was a human, common sense reaction. Unfortunately Samsung seemed to think that nearly setting fire to a customer's home, and potentially causing them to breathe cancer-causing smoke, was not a good enough reason to slightly adjust their "standard policy" and allow that customer to have a new phone before he returns his flammable one which he relied on for work.

'Greg Crenshaw' had stated Samsung USA do not have in their possession any Galaxy Nexus handsets they could possibly send me.

Even though it's their flagship phone.

Seriously, Samsung don't posses a single Galaxy Nexus.

I asked the Office of the President.

Shame on you Samsung.

The purpose of this thread was to ask for advice in how to get a swapout replacement given the circumstances? [Edit] but now it seems one is on the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z06mike:
I would say you call back until you get a replacement. That is complete and utter bull****!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhilDX:
is a "fin" like a pin? i.e., is one of the pins in the end of the USB cable slightly bent such that, when you insert it into the phone, it causes a short?

i think i would take the phone and cable into a verizon corporate store (on a busy day), explain what happened and ask them what they can do about it? make sure they understand it is a fire risk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I would have asked them how they felt about a lawsuit if your home caught on fire from it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
Edit: After watching the video, you have every right to expect special treatment. Makes me afraid to charge my phone are you sure you aren't just shorting it with the screwdriver and its a bad USB though?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
That's not what I said. Yes, by law they have to fix it for free as it's under warranty, but they said it could take them weeks.

They have said they will "consider" any medical bills I send them. He could not say they would pay for any. Not even sure what I'd tell a doctor. "Can you tell me if what I breathed today will give me cancer in 5 years please."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
I am referring to the inside of the phone's USB socket. The female part. If you look at it, there is a tiny flat 'fin' or board sticking out.

The cable is fine - this happens with whatever USB cable you put in there. It is a manufacturing issue in my view. Be careful if you have one.

I am not with Verizon - this is the unlocked HSPA+ model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
Edited my post, thought it was less severe than video showed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
100% sure. This happens with any and all USB cables I connect. Instant smell of smoke. The screwdriver only came out 2 hours after this fault began, and it began with the official Samsung charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kmdub:
Now I am a bit worried...lol

Anyway, I would definitely take it back to wherever it is you bought it. If you got it online, I would definitely contact the seller and inform them of the issue. If the retailer, for some reason, won't deal with it, then why not just get it swapped out per Samsung's policy, even though it may suck? Not saying they are not responsible and that they should not rectify it. It is a safety issue after all. I mean, if they offer to take it off your hands, and you refuse due to inconvenience, then I would say that you are at least partly responsible if something bad happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
I am happy for them to take it off my hands but they need to put the situation right and not leave me worse off than I was. I help them, they help me. That is reasonable.

I purchased it in the UK on O2 (it is now unlocked by O2), and am now in the USA so I have to rely on Samsung's worldwide warranty. I thought by buying into a reliable, trusted brand like Samsung, I would receive a first class service. Sadly any thoughts of such treatment have gone up in smoke :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zlewe:
Samsung is just popular, it is not reliable + trusted.

No offense to Samsung fan:)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kmdub:
Literally right?...:D

Anyway, someone should have told you that Samsung is not known for great customer service, at least not in my experience. You would think that they would just go ahead and modify their standard policy in an instance such as this. Maybe you can show them the video somehow and explain to them that it will be plastered all over the internet...or they could just send you the replacement and get their defective phone back. Just an idea. I do hope you get it worked out though, without incident.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
Thanks. Greg Crenshaw is as high as you can get at Samsung. His email address even starts with "president@". I was shocked - genuinely stunned - that even he could not be flexible enough to take a human, common sense, approach to this problem. Every sentence he said began with, "You have to understand that our policy is...". No, I don't have to. Not when you create a potentially life threatening situation, and expect me to be without the phone that is my work and lifeline.

The funny thing is while on hold their system talks about how Samsung are committed to improving their customer service and providing a first class experience. Then you get to the top and the real person acts like a robot and tells you to ask T-Mobile USA to give you a loaner phone to replace the Samsung product you bought from O2 UK, because Samsung do not have any Galaxy Nexus handsets whatsoever. Ah well, at least robots can't get cancer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Just send the video to all the tech blogs, to warn people of this serious issue. Once the media picks it up, Samsung will gladly send you a new Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusNero:
This.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
I have come to the conclusion that all Samsung cares about is:

1. Making more money off of you. (They are a business after all)

2. They don't want a lawsuit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Haha, this is so very true. Not a bad idea, really. It tends to be very effective.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] se1zure31:
I completely agree that sending this video to the media and getting them involved maybe your only way to get it properly resolved. It's sad that you would have to "stoop" to this level to get proper service...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Send the video to apple, it will soon make worldwide headlines.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
Wow, I would absolutely discontinue to use that device, incase some other part of the phone also goes on fire like the battery, and if anyone seen li-ion on fire you'll know what I mean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
Just to update the thread, Samsung have kindly ordered a replacement device from their 'international subsidiary'. Not sure when it will arrive, but it is on the way to me. I'll keep you updated.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
lol!! so true XD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
I got that same "ask T-Mobile for a loaner phone" bull****. I told them, I'm not under a contract, nor bought this phone with one, they're not responsible, you are" after I called because my power button was malfunctioning.

After them telling me there was nothing they could do but have me send it in for repair, which could take a week, I said "No thank you, I'll just sell it and get an iPhone instead, they never have problems" the lady instantly transferred me to a Warranty Rep to ft my credit card info so they could send me a new phone and I'd send back the broken one. :eek:

TL;DR If something is wrong with your phone, threaten to sell it and buy from the main competition instead, you'll see results. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ballarous:
Just saying, but you could actually sue Samsung over this if you wanted, for the inhalation of the smoke, etc and get a nice sum of money lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MuT7:
It wouldn't be a coincidence that this happened to my gsm gnex as well? :/ does anybody know any sort of fix? Or temporary way of continuing to use the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
I would personally sue Samsung for this, I'm fairly sure they would settle this out of court for a large sum of money than have bad publicity an possible mass recall of their gnex phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
If you buy a dock with a built in charger you can charge the battery out of the phone. Luckily I had one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
Do you have the exact same problem? PM me. We may need to consider a class action suit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Samsung phone's have a special pin recognition mode that is used to put them into special modes, such as Download Mode (anyone who's made a USB Jig before knows what I'm talking about). The thing is, it causes a short electric current if you get the wrong pins to connect, which I've seen before as I was making the Jig myself. If you continiously keep touching the wrong pins either through jamming the Micro USB in wrong or if your Micro USB/Phone port is messed up, those sparks would create your smoke and fire I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
Interesting. All that was happening in this case was a tiny amount of pressure - the same as is caused when inserting an official charging plug to the micro USB socket - was placed on the inside of the socket. I cannot think how this would make the short circuit in the top-right, when the pressure is placed underneath the USB fin. There was no physical connection between the two areas, other than that connected by Samsung parts.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
First of all, as I started your video, because of the siren, I jumped from my sofa, thinking the fire-alarm, of our town went off! LOL rofl.... And lmao....

No, that shouldn't happen, I guess you should send it in...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pstellanyc:
me too

been using the site for a while for tech support, never had anything to add before, but this just happened to me too.

On two occasions, using two different wall chargers and two different USB cables (1 from samsung), the cable has started to burn and melt. It's hot enough to burn your finger on if, like me, you get scared and aren't careful taking it out. Also annoying is that this seems to damage the battery, as the two different batteries i had in when this happened now won't take charges, even from external chargers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
Was there a flame like in my video?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilsonlam97:
This is why I never plug in any microusb cable other then my genuine Samsung cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
This was a genuine cable as stated in the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pstellanyc:
no flame

No visible flame, thank god, but where there's smoke...

And I have to say that the offer of a replacement phone is reasonable, but kind of unsatisfying. I mean, this happens, and I'm sure its a rare thing, but I'm not super excited about having a phone which can get hot enough to burn plastic, especially as I used to charge my phone right next to the bed i sleep in...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Wow, I don't want to add "fuel to the fire"... so to speak..

but I think something happened to me last night. I had plugged my GNex in to the wall socket beside my bed, per usual. My wife wakes me up at 2:00 AM saying "do you smell that? Do you HEAR that??"

My phone smelled like burning plastic. I put it up to my ear and heard a slight whine... like a sizzling double A battery if you've ever seen a battery short out. This was using the Samsung wall adaptor, Samsung USB.

Maybe it's the same issue.. I'm not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
I recommend anyone with this issue email president (at) sta.samsung.com
