[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackstar84:
When you record videos on your galaxy note, does the file contain hidden meta data or watermarks ?, which make the video traceable, such as IMEI number and such...

In that case how to clean all the meta data ???

I know that the pictures you take with the camera contain meta data, but this data is also easier to clean.

Thanks for the post and don't let people discourage you from sharing, it's the WHOLE purpose of this forum, to share.

Besides, it's not like you jumped in the dev section and posted a question on how to customize your lockscreen. Right section, and probably useful to some people.

Hi everyone, i know this should be in general or Q and A but i dont know if lots of people chech there:/ i was wondering if anyone could port the lockscreen from acthojans new rom because it has nice lockscreen notifications and the ability to change its wallpaper! for use on feralab or any stock based rom?? Im sorry about the posting place please forgive me as i woukd really love to have that lockscreen!!!!:)

Thanks -stephen
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kalel29:
Notifications is UxpNxtLockScreen.apk,for the icons just replace them with 7-zip,just unzip the framework.apk,and for the wallpaper its famework.jar related with the settings.apk

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cartmenicus:
Its in acthogans rom.. under display settings go to lockscreen settings
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cartmenicus:
Also kalel do you think i would be able to just copy and paste the framework-res.apk?? Woukd that change it?? I dont mind if it changes other atuff to i like the look of his rom just it wasent stable enough!! So i want the lockscreen:)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] InternationalPlayer71:
Try to copy framework-res.apk,framework.jar,android policy.jar and settings.apk from Achotjan Rom to any other stock based Rom you want!! It should works!! Take a backup before proceed!!

Don't forget uxpnxtlockscreen.apk to place in system/app ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kalel29:
it will work,will change the icons and the color of the windows,animations and all the icons that the framework.apk has,but maybe if you push and hold the power button you may have a freeze on the phone cause the framework.jar has the options to reboot and take screenshot,framework.apk and framework.jar are related,so if you put a framework.apk that not correspond to its .jar you may have this issues,just give it a try,backup all the files you will replace,if you need to restore the framework.apk,or something else use AROMA file manager,with this one you can restore previously backed up framework and other .apks you modify,without flashing again.

Hia guys, something strange happened to me the other day..

I had some change of money in my pocket and when i i put my phone in the same pocket i

and i pulled it out some time later, my change was magically stuck to the back of my phone..

So i tried that again, and it seems that my loudspeaker of the phone is still magneticaly charged. I tried this with some other phones, including the iphone but no phone did the same..

This is kinda odd because as far i know phones arent allowd to do this.. what if i slide it on accident my pin or credit card allong its back.

I

Am i the only one w

Please give me some info on what to do next. Ill post a video later on.

Its your battery your batteries giving off a magnetic field
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
No it's the speaker,i noticed that when I disassemble the phone to remove the battery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pezo:
Of course the speaker is magnetic, that's how it works. I didn't think it was that strong though.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] optik19918:
the magnet on the speaker of the xperia s/p/u/sole/go is not covered, with materials that have magnetic permeability properties, and absorb magnetic field! becose they fownd a way to make it not interfere with the compass and other stuff and to make stronger the magnetic field detection!

so i think is not a problem since is not powerful enough to damage stuff like credit cards!

"found on goolge"

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] joshua_sx1:
If the Xperia S magnetic speaker can demagnetize and damage credit card, then it is really having strong magnet...

And the only advantage of having a mobile phone demagnetizer is when you are in date and don't want to pay the bills...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1c0n:
I have an I777, I did a factory reset, and when it rebooted, I got the Galaxy sII image, but then just a black screen for 30 mins. I pulled the battery out, and now when I boot it, the SGSII logo appears, but just a black screen comes up. I can boot it into download mode by plugging it in by usb/vol rocker down. Did I brick it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Michael3214:
More info is needed for this...... Rooted? Stock rom or custom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1c0n:
I had been running a rom for months, decided to try another, got that installed just fine (ICS) but was having some other minor issues (kies wouldnt connect etc) so i did a factory reset and thought I would just start fresh. On reboot to perform the reset it hung on a black screen.

Update, as of now I have used ODIN to flash CWM back on and gotten into recovery mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Michael3214:
Do you have a nandroid backup from the original rom you were running? The ICS rom you installed, was it one of the leaks?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1c0n:
I would have made one, yes, but I don't have that computer any more (died). I had made one today before installing the rom, but I can't access it, it is on the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
If you made a nandroid backup, you obviously have CWM recovery, right? Can you get into recovery mode by vol up + vol down + power, without being plugged in?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1c0n:
unfortunately no, the phone wouldn't do anything other than the SGSII screen, then black. I'm downloading the stock .tar file now and intend to just use odin to put it back to factory and start again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Michael3214:
Check out Entropy512's Thread in Development regarding [Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root), any other files can be found in there. Its saved me many times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1c0n:
thanks, that is exactly where I found everything, figure if i'm gonna keep buggerin with this phone, keeping those on the new computer can't hurt!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
You weren't running one of the ATT ICS leaks were you? The "stock" ones come with a nice "feature" that can corrupt your internal memory and brick the phone when a wipe happens....

If your Odin back to stock doesn't work, this could be the case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1c0n:
no, thankfully, and i just finished. With success, I am back to 100% stock, with the counter set to NO and my bootloader back to the i777. thanks for the help, panicked a bit. I am comfortable flashing roms with ODIN, I wasn't expecting it to hang using the built in restore feature, luckily it was minor.

Now to get CWM back, backup, and try some more ROMS :D

ICS AOSP question, my phone wont connect to kies to restore my phone but it does with stock/gingerbread roms i have tried
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
thats a statemnent, not a question.

and IRRC your correct. but Odin, and Kies, are both things that are not used often.

Odin, should just be used to get back to stock. Kies....well IDK what that even does, but its from samsung. so it sucks.

Odin should not be used as a tool to flash ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1c0n:
that indeed was a statement, somehow the end of my question got cut off, either on my computer, or, more than likely, in my head. anyways, i don't use kies ever, I only used it as an easy way to back up all my contacts, calender etc, which now i cannot retrieve
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
Yeah from the little I've used it, Kies is just a browser based backup app, but only for pics/music/etc. I think OS updates come through it but there's nothing like CWMs restore/backup options..

I actually uninstalled it on my Mac cause it prevents Heimdall (a Mac version of Odin) from properly connecting to my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1c0n:
yeah, it is useless for anything else
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Sorry man but contacs, calender? really? do you not know that google keeps that stuff for ya?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1c0n:
I do, but i didnt have reliable access to the internet earlier
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Have you looked into using MyBackup to back up that stuff?

Were you on stock ICS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Doing this from within the operating system instead of using cwm has been known to cause problems. I can't remember why or which roms are affected, but I remember reading it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
You need to provide a LOT more information if you want someone to be able to help. For starters, can you confirm that your phone is indeed an I-777? What ROM did you have in place when you started having problems? What, exactly, did you do that caused your phone to get bricked? Can you get into download or recovery modes?

---------- Post added at 09:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 AM ----------

This.

Otherwise, if you are not on stock ICS, when you say you rooted your phone, what exactly did you do to root it? Can you get into download or recovery modes?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
I noticed this a few days ago. I was getting no sound from my NT. Checked the volume... okay. When I put just a bit of pressure on the back panel with my fingers, where the speaker holes are located, the sound came back. Sure enough when I removed the pressure it stopped. I assume there is now an intermittent connection in there. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know if the speaker assembly can be checked or its connection to the motherboard repaired? (I've seen the tear down instructions.)

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circa881:
How hard would it be to get something like this to work with the Fascinate?

I know with the Galaxy Nexus you can plug a microUSB to USB adapter in and use flash drives and external hard drives if you're using the right kernel.

I'm wanting something like this because it would be nice to plug into the network at work and ping printers and stuff like that with my phone instead of finding a computer and logging in or having to wait until I get back to the office.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] celsius1:
I was curious if anyone had any idea if the Prime would be able to run Win RT when released. I think it would be awesome to have access to both systems on this hardware. Hey the Asus Tablet 600 has a Tegra 3 also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fizzerr:
Given how the Prime struggles to run Android properly, I wouldn't place much hope on it. Certainly Asus wouldn't be supporting it. They're too busy as it is trying to fix up the Android experience.

Maybe the XDA devs will come up with something...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
From what I understand, the Asus Tablet 600 basically a Transformer Prime, except it has double the RAM. So, I'm certain it would run on our TF201s, but the problem is Win RT is only available installed on new devices. You won't be able to buy a disc or download it from MS like Win 7 or W8. If someone were to somehow extract the image from a device, say the 600, I'm sure it would be more likely than not that it would run on our tabs.

I'm also hoping for this to happen. Dual boot would be sick, but I might even replace Android with WinRT if I had to. I'd probably go back and fourth between OSes if it weren't too complicated.

Fingers crossed;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ramis:
from what i have read, windows rt would require a different bootloader.

so there is basically no chance it would come to the tf201
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mister_johnn:
I just got the phone this morning and I had it in my pocket, I have touched the wall by mistake and I heard a "crack" sound... yes, it was the screen of my brand new phone. The Galaxy S3 is very fragile, I still have my (1 year old) Galaxy S2 and that one survived to many accidents. This one I would not recommend... the screen is too fragile... now back to the subject, does anyone know any good service near London or a site were I can buy a new screen?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krico:
Can't answer your question about service but I know what you mean about the S2 screen. Months ago I jumped on my S2's screen three times in a row really hard because I was peed of with it and it never cracked. Wish they stayed with the original glass on S3 as S2.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wals1h:
its the size of the screen that makes it weaker... all the big screen phones are much easier to break.. the s2 was a strong phone but stretching to the 4.8 screen on the s3 has made it weaker

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blue13x:
Hi,

One thing I havent seen many people talk about is the fact that S3/2 and the Note lack the Tegra SoC. I Kknow Samsung likes to use their own Exynos, but sometimes I hate the fact that I cant run those THD games which admittedly many are quality games. And.in some cases like Riptide and Shadowgun you do get some extra eye-candy over the regular versions. This is one area were the HTC One X wins I think....the ability to play those high quality THD versions of the game. Im also sure you can root and use chainfire, but sometimes I wish the galaxy line would use the Tegra 3 and have the widest game compatibility. For me this is the biggest downside to what for me is.the perfect phone.

Anyone feel the same?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rayan:
I hear ya!!!

I really miss my Tegra goodness...

Many will say that by using this or using that you can make Tegra games run on non-tegra devices, and that's partially true, however true Tegra graphics are much better...

There are many shader effects missing on those non-tegra devices.

I would really love to see a Tegra based Note (even though I know that would never happen)... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bamboo12:
Samsung does use tegra, i had a galaxy tab 10.1 and it ran like dog ****
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
Like most tegra 2 devices. I've used moto atrix, lg g2x, acer/toshiba tablets.

They just helping wuth androids biggest problem, fragmentation. This isnt a samsung processor issue, this is up to the developer. Think 360 vs ps3.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
Tegra processors are usually on the low-end of available options.

Eg/

SGS: Exynos 3110 = 170

Droid2 : OMAP 3630 = 160

NexusOne: QSD 8250 = 130

HTC prototype: Tegra APX 650 = 100

SGS 2: Exynos 4210 = 140

Sensation XL: QSD 8255= 130

Optimus 3D: OMAP 4330 = 120

Atrix 4G: Tegra2 = 100

SGS 3: Exynos 4412 = 130

*OMAP Skipped Generation* = N/A

Optimus 4X: Tegra3 = 110

OneS: Krait S4-dual = 100

By having early and direct access to their own manufacturing facility, Samsung can develop chips that are slightly faster than the competition and produce them at lower costs.

Apple tends to strongarm the market with early business deals and access to manufacturing facilities too, though not on Samsung's scale. Fortunately for Apple, they don't need the fastest, they need "good enough" at the cheapest price. Since iOS will run faster than Android, due to better and direct optimizations, Apple's offerings can consequently be even faster than Samsung's.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rayan:
Say all you want about Tegra being on the low-end side, but when it comes to gaming graphics they simply blow the competition out of the water!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] violentgoomba:
I have not seen a side by side comparison but apart from the graphics, how many tegra games are really compelling? I have not seen a tegra game that made me wish i had a tegra device.

I prefer Mali. So no.

Sent via carrier pigeon
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
When it comes to the GPU, Nvidia are using competitive offerings.

For instance, the one in Tegra 1 (APX 650) was top-tier in its era, but not the best.

This is forgivable as they were new to the mobile market.

With the Tegra2, nVidia did offer a great chip.

It was about on-par/higher than the SGX540... but it was surpassed with the new drivers and higher clocked SGX540 from OMAP4470. And not to mention the quadcore Mali-400 (SGS2) that embarassed it.

With the Tegra3, there's nothing new.

They offer a gpu that was better than their competitors, but the competitors are rolling out their new gpu. Qualcomm with their new Adreno. Samsung with the T604. Omap with the SGX544mp4. In fact the new A5X gpu is superior to the Tegra3 gpu. Don't forget about the PS Vita either.

here's an interesting article: http://blog.laptopmag.com/tablet-chip-showdown-nvidia-tegra-3-vs-the-new-ipads-a5x

Soon, Tegra3 will be a "mid-entry" SoC, or even a "low-mid" one.

The only advantage the Tegra chips have is the TegraZone. Deeper integration of the software to the gpu, that's how nVidia levels the field.

So you are in fact incorrect. They don't blow the competition out of the water!

They fragment the competition, which I believe is wrong. I think that either nVidia must try harder (they're a friggin graphics company!!!) or that the TegraZone enhancements should be in the AOSP and give all competitors a chance to provide the best software (drivers producing, kernels processing, roms consuming) for their hardware.

With greater competition, the consumers win.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pboesboes:

Tegra - no thank you!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blue13x:
That was Tegra 2. Tegra 3 on the HtC one x and Asus transformer prime flies.

So the myth that Tegra is slow has been shown by Tegra 3
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blue13x:
Riptide GP...Samurai 2 THD, Shadowgun Tegra 3, Fruit Ninja THD, Bang bang racing Thd...i think are pretty good titles and offrr significant enhancements over the non thd versions.

I love my Note...but I do have to admit that a One X with the Tegra 3 has more game support and is faster.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mdrjr:
nvidia is a GFX Company. They'll pay for people develop stuff for their products.

Tegra 3 is inferior to the Mali 400 MP. Ask the developer to make a version of their game using all Mali 400MP Features.

Blame the developer not the GPU itself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
A few Samsungs run Tegras - they have piss poor performance, abysmal video decoding capability, etc. See Tab 10.1 as an example - the tegra2 in that is a POS compared to Exynos4.

NVidia is always first to up the core count but always delivers poor performance per core.

Similarly, the Exynos 4412 smokes the Tegra 3 when total system performance is taken into account.

It's kind of odd that the SoC that comes from a company whose specialty is GPUs is the worst in terms of 2D video performance (codec support) and average at best for 3D.

On top of that they use some funky texture compression format not compatible with anything else unless you use Chainfire 3D.
