[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmick30:
Hi, folks!

I am using Nokia N8 atm and I am considering either buying a proper tablet, or selling Nokia N8 and getting the 5.3" Note.

This is my situation: I am soon starting a small business of a sort that will involve me needing to use a bigger screen than a normal smartphone (Note will be fine!) to show some drafts/designs/presentations to the customers. Also, excellent GPS performance of Note is what draws me to it. So, basically, if I go for this one device (in order to avoid "hauling" both smartphone and a proper tablet), it would have to satisfy that certain, should we call it "educational" type of tablet usability.

I've watched youtube videos of other professionals who use it, and I believe that Note would be perfect.

Now, what is your overall opinion/experience regarding Notes more complex usage than checking FB status and reading up on Kardashians and usability of Note as a tablet to a certain degree?

Also, if you use the Note for a professional purpose, to what extent and complexity does it go?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmick30:
Looks good. :) But, what about keeping stylus/S-Pen capabilities and finding alternatives to and replacing S-Memo and similar apps that come with the Samsungs Android installed on the device/Touchwiz ?

As I said, I am interested in retaining the full capability of the device as a phone, while still being able to use to a greater degree than I would a much smaller Android smartphone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incisivekeith:
I think you are well aware that you WILL be making compromises regarding the screen size compared to a tab. Having said that, if you don't want to carry two devices, and are really considering the Note, the best option, if possible, is to try out the device for an extended period of time at a store or from a friend, because no matter what we say here, your needs and comfort level will vary.

I use my Note, when I need to, to jot down ideas and sketches of structures of ppt slides, etc. I can certainly see it can be used for more than that, but I just haven't used it that way yet. It's a really great device, but you need to know it fits your needs, so try it somewhere.

The battery life is decent on ICS, and the display is gorgeous.

You could list your potential uses and maybe people can better answer your question.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmick30:
Oh, of course... :) I mean, I don't expect from a 5.3" smartphone to have a real estate of a 10" tablet, or to even the same type of interface.

As I said in OP, I will be showing the customers (one at the time mostly, in 95% of cases) and using Note for

*graphs,

*short presentations (anything that at least resembles basic functionality of MS presentation, ie. PowerPoint),

*some stuff that resembles time lapse of say, development of a town centre over the 30 year period,

*interactive brochures of a sort

*price config. quote

*filling in e-forms/configuration forms

*and of course, some basic stuff: to be able to reply to customers emails while on the go, and ad attachments to these emails. Also, S-Pen will come in handy, if for example I need to annotate, or change some simpler design sketches in PDF (or any alternative to PDF there is on Android).

Basically, what I want the Note for is to be able to have the tablet usability for stuff like that, without need for, I don't know, 3d games, angry birds, and whatnot.. :)

Any word on GPS performance (which is supposed to be the best yet) ?

i recommend trying your premiun suite that came with ics its very useful to make charts and ecuations using your s pen i use that since i got it and its a super improvement.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmick30:
Hmmm, yeah I've read about that, what worries me is the fact that a portion of people complain about the (official) ICS on Galaxy Note, comparing to Vista on PC. :) Now, I did come across reviews of custom ROMs based on ICS, but which enable the user to use the premium suite too...

I am not too sure I'll be brave enough to try and the root the Note, as I will be buying the device with at least some warranty left on it...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akilesh:
perfect phablet !!

When it comes to serving dual functionalities it is the G-Note Reigning supreme. With the premium suite functions from the Ics bandwagon making the note much more powerful, my humble suggestion would be that you go for the Note. It is much easier to carry around and also serves both the functions of a tablet and a smart phone. :) But anyways the ball is always in your court because it is you who is going to use it. Cherios.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incisivekeith:
The GPS is quite good on the phone. And for all the functionality you need, the Note should help you, although with a smaller screen than a tab.

GB on the Note is good, and ICS is too. People who compare ICS to Vista may have suffered issues due to flashing and such, but for your needs ICS will be okay.

try flashing litening note rom 2.0 great ics based version stable fast and battery friendly.

Ive been working on a project at work which includes.

Joomla based cms with web based forms

I designed it for use with tablets however the galaxy note perfoms better than the playbook and a generic ics tablet.

Oh and i gave the presentation on the note to my bosses so it should meet some of your needs
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MR.change:
I use it mainly to browse the web ,read Ebooks ,learning Japanese by listening to the audio file while reading the pdf transcript ,annotating what I think is important in the pdf on the go (with adobe reader and the Spen) ,so yeah it's got some excellent learning potential ,the high res screen really helps it here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigstarrynight:
Consider your clients age. Over 40, and eysight degrades in the reading dept. IE, if you were to start showing me designs etc. on the note, I would probably loose interest quickly, and you, my order. However, consider a 10" tab and a crappy clam phone. Maybe HDMI from the Note to a bigger screen, now that would impress me, and have the wallet on standby. However, if you insist, I recommend that you go for stability, and for me that means no ICS, stay on gingerbread. This worked well, GPS was blindingly good, and never let me down. The phone never crashed or re-booted itself, the camera was acceptable. Don't go overboard about the s-pen, I feel its a gimmick, and one you'll probably loose anyway. If your clients are young, try the Note, if they are 40 or 50+ don't go there, use a tab, or use HDMI on a really big screen. And lastly, dont use ICS just yet, I'll guarantee it'll embarrass you when you least need it . It did me, and it wont be happening again.

Hope that helps :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MR.change:
I agree, the post above me is a very wise one.

As for ICS, try cm9, yes you will lose some of the Spen functionality but you will be more than impressed with the speed, battery life, and stability.

Just got my new epic a couple hrs ago. Last one broke.

Rooted and flashed cleangb on to it.

Got a popup a couple minutes ago asking if i wanted to update mr7 from el30 to fc09.

Should i? Will it mess with the rom?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Shame on you should know better than to post questions in general LOL. If you want to stay on clean GB then you will have to modify your build.prop to stop the update. Otherwise flash an FC09 rom.

I'm in the same boat. But, I have cleangb MTD. I gave my phone to my son after I picked up an ARRIVE WP7.5 to try out. He told me he got a prompt to update. I have been looking for info. Is it worth upgrading to? And is there a link that will give me more info and what's needed to update? Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You cannot update on a custom ROM. You can flash an FC09 ROM. There are a bunch in the Development forum. You can also edit the build.prop file to stop the update notification.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmebryan:
OK, thanks. Are there any links to the what's included in the new update? Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
On Sprint.com if you can navigate through their crappy website to the "update firmware on you samsung epic" page it will list the features of FC09.

The only thing really new from el30 to fc09 is the "optimizer" (sprints version of juice defender....)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORDFIRE00:
If u want to stop the pop up, just allow the update to proceed, let it fail, pull battery, then reboot ur phone. That's it
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
That will only stop it for a little... you must edit the build.prop for it to never return...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
Can you please tell us in detail the steps you followed and what tools you used?

"I flashed it and it broke" is a bit hard to diagnose :)

1) I unlocked by bootloader by doing <thing you did>

2) I loaded flashtool and flashed <file X> I found <where'd you get file X>

3) Then I etc etc etc.

Then we can see if you missed a step, or did a step the wrong way around etc.

Cheers,

Tim

sorry lol was in a rush when typing this my bootloader was unlocked with the 2 probe method and wire and loaded the ST18i_Official_4.0.4_Stock_ROM_RAY_jjdoctor into the flashtool and just flashed , i got the file from the forums here i know i prob just done a stupid thing by flashing straight away but could really do with a step by step guide as im a noob at this kind of stuff or directed to a good guide , i also just restored the phone back to stock and its working again thanks to wotan client so i cant try again hopefully getting it right this time

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yujin_11:
I got stuck a lot of times but i haven't asked about it... because I researched...

then when I get stuck, I repeat, get stuck again, revert then look for another process

It always pays to be prepared

Yeah yeah, everyone is new when we start modding their phones... but due to the age(relative) of the thread, there were already exchanges of questions and answers.

I bet you haven't heard or seen the help thread

Here's what I do EVERYTIME I do mods on my phone:

research (what files, how to do it, expected results)

research (fallback methods, including what others have done, read the threads/conversations/posts etc...)

yeah they do take a long time (2 weeks to 1 month)... then...

I executed the processes on my own, and boom! they WORKED

It pays to be prepared...

[Nook Touch General] drmtesta:
I recently rooted my Nook Simple Touch Glow and when I try to side load apps through dropbox I get an error "Install Blocked; For security reasons you phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in the Android Market."

I've read up and there should be a check box in the applications menu that allows unknown sources. The trouble is there is no applications menu.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
If you have sqlite3 on your desktop or your Nook, you can just do:

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

sqlite3 settings.db
update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';
.q

adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
[Nook Touch General] drmtesta:
Sqlite

I haven't used Sqlite before. I downloaded it. Do I just run the text you posted in the dos box?

Also, do I need to have the nook attached through usb?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, you have to have ADB working however you use ADB.

That's either WiFi or USB.

The quoted code is normally what you enter.
[Nook Touch General] cceerrtt:
check in dos box that you have sqlite3 command available. Also you need working android debug bridge (adb) working, through wifi or usb, in your case it would probably be through wifi. I do not recommend you to continoe unless you learn something about adb and make it work. (search forum or use google)

the rest is piece of cake. first (adb) command from #2 downloads one database from nook. Another 3 commands opens that database locally, changes the security setings that enables installation of non-market application and quits sqlite3 client.

last command uploads the changed database back to nook.
[Nook Touch General] drmtesta:
ADB?

Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately, I really don't know what ADB is.

I haven't used any of these tools. Can you give me a little more detail? I'd hate to make a mistake and screw something up.

Thanks again!

Mark
[Nook Touch General] drmtesta:
Sqlite

Thanks for the instructions. I was able to turn on the ADB bridge using adbWireless and connect the device.

I'm confused about the command line in SQLite3. I entered everything as listed, but nothing happens. I don't want to copy over the settings.db until I know it has been changed.

What should SQLite say if I have entered in the command properly?

Thanks again
[Nook Touch General] cceerrtt:
sqlite3 settings.db
update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';
select value from secure where name='install_non_market_apps';
.q

As you can see I have added one 'select' command into sql section. If your database has been updated properly, select command should print new value 1 (before zero).

I have written this command right now, don't have a chance to test it but it should work.. at least it cannot screw up anything. :-)
[Nook Touch General] drmtesta:
Sqlite

I'm entering everything as is and either I get

...> with nothing after it

or

Error: near "sqlite3": syntax error.

In either case, the select command does not tell me if it is updated.

Again, sorry for asking so many times. I'm close!!
[Nook Touch General] drmtesta:
Sqlite

I figured out what I was doing. I opened the SqLite window separately when it should have all be in the one cmd window.

So what exactly did this do? I keep getting the same error message that it can't install non market apps. Is there a menu setting I should change?

Thanks again
[Nook Touch General] drmtesta:
Got it

Just rebooted and now it's working. Thanks!!
[Nook Touch General] GabrialDestruir:
A simpler way to do this, assuming you've used something like GlowNooter and is to go into Nook Color Tools and uncheck and recheck the Non-Market Installs. This will allow you to sideload.

After flashing .209 from .181 I seem to have issues where I do not get any sounds from incoming calls and messages. The notification light goes on but no sounds. If I try to modify the sound via settings it freezes.

Any thoughts or similar experiences?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GS2_Man:
I checked around and unless I missed something in the ICS discussion topic, I haven't seen anyone report this issue.

I am running stock ICS, un-rooted and am also using Go Launcher and Go Locker (relevance explained shortly).

Before updating to ICS today, the only time the default factory unlock screen would appear would be after a reboot. Once booted, Go Locker would unlock the phone.

After the ICS update, the factory default lockscreen appears anytime I try to launch an application from the Notification screen (click on text message, USB storage, etc.) even though I've already "unlocked" the phone using Go Locker.

The only way I've found to disable this "forced lockscreen" is to either turn off Go Locker and use the default lockscreen OR to use Go Locker and select the default lock screen to None or Swipe.

Is there a solution for this that doesn't require root?

I kinda liked having the pattern lockscreen on reboot and would prefer to keep it, but not at the expense of having to unlock every time I get a notification.

Thanks in advance, and apologies if this has been reported before :confused:

[EDIT]

- Problem occurs when using a security setting above Swipe (face unlock, pin, pattern, etc.)

- When clicking on a notification and using the Face unlock setting, phone freezes and does not show camera (power cycle will clear it)

- Go Locker tries to unlock after factory lockscreen after power cycle

Since this was working fine before the ICS update, my uneducated conclusion is that Go Locker needs an update to accommodate changes made in ICS.

Hi,

got a questions to ask anyone response will help. This is my third Defy from Moto. First one screen went crazy after 9 mos. some part on screen stop working so i got replace then when i getting 2nd one found this website and of course everything look interesting who would want to stuck on 2.2.1 version right when you can get to 2.3.7 now. So I start reading, save all files that needed everything seem easy so i start w/o reading some parts lol...I had tmobile MB525 so I go with top one on list SBF page. Root with superoneclick 1.95 -> flash with RSD Lite 4.9 everything went fine....finished said reboot manually (that something haven't seen on any thread) it stuck on M logo with red circle won't let me do anything else (Power+ or Power-, remove battery all that) so read again found thread said fix with JORDN_U3_97.21.51 and process went fine up and running again but this time back to 2.1, simcard no signal, all app not work beside browser with wifi which assume can fix later. did this and that (don't even remember what else I did) but don't want to mess up again which end up the phone won't even turn beside white light while connect to PC so contact Moto that the phone ran out of battery put to charge over nite been 2 days and the phone never turn back on hope to get lucky which i told them while on the phone that i know the phone was a refurblish when I got it maybe something went wrong. Yup, they send me a replacement one again so this is my 3rd Defy in one year...

I'm not sure I still want to play with it anymore but like i said I don't want to stuck on 2.2.1. but there're lot of thing I don't understand and seem risky like the 2nd Init don't even have idea how to put it in the phone with apk file which i have a zip file w/o any .apk. PPl said just put in SD card it's already apk so I did but in the file manager still can't run the dang file. so everything stop....I got another file call defy_recovery-1218-0326-signed.apk and it work but don't think it does like 2nd Init.

And if still a go, which SBF you guy do, CM7.2 or CM9. I did wrote down all info in about phone this time just incase it will help anything in future.

Thnks in advance

Heeeeelllp! I was trying to get touchwiz 4.0 on my Samsung Galaxy S WIFI 5.0 running android 2.2.2 when it wouldn't let me move the apk to the system/apps folder. So i made a stupid mistake and moved the apps folder out of the system folder and into its parent folder what ever that folder is. While it was moving it started coming up with force close messages tell me that so and so had forced closed and it was just constantly repeating the force close vibration pattern. Then while it was still moving the screen went black (but still on) yet the force close vibration kept going. So i rebooted and the pattern was still going even when the boot animation was there and when the boot animations has finished i just displays a black screen but yet again there is still the force close vibration happening. It boots into recovery ok and i am rooted. No CMW or custom rom though. I was using a root browser, dont no wich one. Can you help me get my data back or even my galaxy working with my data. thanks

Now that's a realy nice title you picked there for your opened thread.

I ques a lot of people will understand your problem with that title. ;)

Edit; maybe I'm being a bit of an ass like this sorry but I realy don't understand why people opening threads with a title like you use.

If everyone would start a thread with the title heeeelppppp imagine how far we would come.

Anyway, you write you are still able to come in recovery mode and that you placed the apps out of the system folder into another folder whatever that would be..

Can't you reverse it by digging into your folders, find the apps folder and place it back in sys?

I think that's the most easiest and only step to get your data back.
