hey I have been away from note some time now...

so I've tried to read about the BRICK problem..

I just can't figure out if there is any safe ICS ??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gartner83:
As far as I know the LPY was an issue and as long as you don't wipe data/factory reset in that one, than it shuouldn't be a problem either...I'm on LQ2 and have been on LP9 I think and I even accidently wiped data in LP9 and nothing happend. So you should be safe as long as you're not on LPY and like get the LQ2 or LQ3 version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
ICS is safe with a safe kernel i.e. CM9,franco kernel etc which are clear of any wipe bug present in the stock ICS kernels.Hence, the CM9 nightlies,ParanoidAndroid and other ROMs which utilize to CM9 kernels are safe.

Alteratively, you can also flash to GB and then flash a ROM with an unsafe kernel and then flash a safe kernel via PC Odin.It's recommended to go through flashing GB as it reduces risk.However,do this at your own risk
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fslateef:
According to my understanding/knowledge none of available ICS official firmware/ROM is safe. Use safe kernels and ROMs mentioned by warfareonly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apd:
Mostly right. Any AOSP kernel is safe - eg CM9. But then you don't get touchwiz, if you want that.

There are a few Samsung based kernels which have the brick bugs removed. They are probably safe - there have been no bricks with them that I know of.

NEVER wipe or format using stock ics kernel (whether from cwm or within android) if you are rooted.

To be completely safe, either use Odin or from a gb kernel. If you are rooted you don't have to flash a full gb rom - just flash abyss 4.2 and then reboot to recovery (do not reboot the device). Then wipe and flash a cwm flashable from from abyss recovery. There is no danger of the brick bug provided the wipes are done through the gb recovery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gartner83:
Yes,you are right. The kernel must not be official,has to be custom(and not based on lpy) to be safe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohmob:
I am on stock DDLP8 with stock kernel. I am planning to flash paranoid android. Can anyone confirm if following steps would work properly:

1. I flash franco kernel via PC odin.

2. Flash Paranoid Android using CWM.

Or shall I resort to the longer & safer route of going back to GB first & then flashing paranoid android.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
Read the instructions given on the Paranoid Android ROM thread.They clearly state to go back and flash from a GB rom...Here, I've posted the info for you

--->DON'T flash FROM ANY SAMSUNG ICS OR ROMS BASED ON SAMSUNG KERNELS

--->Flash any stock GB rom with odin / or any GB kernel ,root deviceand reboot into recovery once again before flashing this

--->Install Rom: http://d-h.st/agf 119.46 MB

--->Install HYBRID Gapps: http://tjohansson.is-a-geek.com/file...0511-fixed.zip

--->Wipe caches, factory reset is a must if you're coming from another rom than CM9

Next time, read.Safety always :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deiandrei:
Hi guys,

Me and my girlfriend have both a Samsung Galaxy S2 running the official ICS 4.0.3.

Since the upgrade to ICS, Google Talk won't connect on WiFi anymore.

When I use the 3G network, Google Talk works fine. As soon as I connect to any WiFi network, GTalk goes offline and I am unable to send/receive instant messages.

As I said, me and my girlfriend have the same issue! And it appeared only after upgrading to ICS.

GTalk version is: 4.0.3-239410 (330)

I already performed a factory reset of both phones and also of my home router.

Any other internet application (Google Play, Internet, Facebook, etc...) work fine on WiFi.

I have also searched the internet but there are only a few others affected and there is no solution provided to their problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deiandrei:
Solved

Hello again!

As I said, me and my girlfriend had the same problem. 2 days ago, the battery of my girlfriend's phone went empty and the phone turned off completely. We never tried to turn off the phones completely until now.

After she turned on the device again, Gtalk started to work also on WiFi.

Then she told me that Gtalk is woring again and I restarted my phone.....of course it didn't work for me. Then my idea was to also turn off my phone completely. After turning it on again, BOOM !! Gtalk started working also for me!!!!

I have no logical explanation for this, but I am really happy that I can use Gtalk from home now, when connected via WiFi.

So, reboots didn't help, but complete shut down did help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkrol73:
I have the same problem on S3. My GTalk also started to work after turning off my phone. But then I went out for a while and phone was connected to 3G. When I came back there was the same problem again, phone connected to Wifi and GTalk offline. In this case turning off helps again but I think it isn't best solution for this issue.

WIFI Notification stop in jelly bean

I have just bought S3 few days back . Its with Jelly bean 4.1.2. I am facing the same issue. Notification works fine in mobile network but not in home WIFI. The problem starts only if I change twice in between wifi to mobile ( wifi -mobile -wifi ). I am using notification for Facebook messenger and Gtalk. I tried to do factory reset or hard reset or tried in friend's WIFI but nothing works to that problem. Only i thing I see, it works if I reboot the phone then the notifications start to work again in WIFI also.

I just installed Max Payne on my phone and now it keeps telling me I have low storage. When I check my programstorage it says "1.4 GB used and 2.4GB free" and then I go to media storage it says "7.1 GB used and 800MB free" so why the **** does it keep saying I have low storage when it doesn't automaticlly go to programstore? Isn't this phone supposed to have 7GB of internal storage? How can I get rid of it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
I have no idea where the "trip point" is on the warnings, but have you tried moving some of the media off the phone (500MB should do it) and see if the warning goes away?

I store between 15-52GB of music on my external SD. I get no warnings. It just works.

Can you post the output of a "df -h" command (using adb, connectbot, sshdroid, etc)? It's a linux computer, and they all provide lots of tools to diagnose and fix pretty much any possible problem.

The problem is not music.

They all go to media storage and I am running out of storage on that piece of **** place
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
You can change where/how filesystems mount, but you'll have to learn to use Linux and work from a command line. There's no poke-n-smile answer to your dilemma. yet.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] eyriiii:
And this is not fixed in ICS?

I should have traded this piece of crap for SGS3...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
Copy & paste of the ReadMe

Moving app to SD is handled by Android. App 2 SD app only provides an UI for you to manage it. Currently, Android only supports the primary external storage (i.e. internal USB storage) for App 2 SD. If you have two external storages, the external SD card usually is the secondary external storage. Android only moves apps to the primary external storage.

:D I don't think there is some problem with the game but there is some serious problems with the phones storage system...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
It's Linux. You can change everything about the filesystems, where they mount, what they mount, when they mount it. But you have to do it, there isn't any smearware for doing this, and being lazy/petulant won't get it done any faster than blaming the phone is doing now.

Google /etc/fstab.

You'd have a different problem with the Samsung. It would be a "POS" too, no doubt, but in a different sub-forum. So there's that.

You're the one who posted because your

telephone

is so full of games that it's warning of low space. You say the phone is a piece of crap, presumably because its software designers did not design it for the purpose YOU intended - a purpose so lame and unexpected that nobody has created an app yet to handle it.

There are apps out there to do every stupid thing humanly imaginable, and app developers are breaking ground in the gut-wrenchingly-retarded-tasks arena. Yet this task is not covered...

Has it occurred to you that maybe, just maybe, you have too many games

installed

?

You can back them up and uninstall them... It only takes 2 minutes to restore ShadowGun, and that's a good-sized game.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] chrisjm00:
Another thing to look for is how many safestrap backups you have. I got the same warning. I had 4 backups on the internal storage, and at 1.2-1.6 gb a pop, they eat up your storage real quick. The gingerbread backups were the biggest.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] htcmodteam:
From what I can. Work out its the storage on the external memory card. I have a 16gb but only 467mb left so I get the same warning.

If I put a clean one in I don't get it I think the warning is at around 500mb or 1gb

And dont tell me to use the search box. If you know a better way to search be my guest and let me know. Maybe I dont know the terms used that will yield good search results.

It seems to me that every one abandoned the TP2 before ST = (StraightTalk) started the Bring Your Own Phone Program so this may have never been discussed yet.

So I got the voice, SMS and data working. But my phone is still trying to connect to sprints server to download the pictures people sent me via MMS. Where do I input the MMS settings ST gave me? The only setting I could find was for APN and when I updated that the data started working. The rest of the fields are not there with the APN.

I am using the AT&T sim from Strait Talk. I have the Sprint TP2 with my Straight Talk sim card in it. Set to GSM only. The worst part is EDGE speed is slower then Sprints 1X.

[Galaxy S III General] braintheboss:
This is simple curiosity ... I have looked that gives about 2700 bogomips SGS3 (1.4Ghz but I suppose I do not know). My Q6600 at 2.4Ghz gives about 4800 ... to give a 6600 3.4GHz ...

By a simple calculation would give about 2400 bogomips at 1.2GHz ... So basically, at least in this test the power of SGS3 is comparable to desktop CPUs ... I guess obviously other factors such as the bandwidth of memory will make daily use faster performance but it is curious what power has advanced cell phones ...

The only question I have is whether to just memory (1GB), there would be much difference in compile-time code C. ..

[Galaxy S II General] jellywobbles:
Hi Guys 'n' Gals:

If like me you have been struggling with poor GPS on your SGS2, then I may have the answer!

I am running Foxhound SniperWolf - have tried just about all of the "good" radios & have swapped regularly between Abyss / Siyah kernels to no avail.

Where I work (in Hampshire, right on the coast), it would often take up to 5 minutes (sometimes longer!) for Sygic to lock onto satellites. GPS status used to just about give up - it was hopeless & yet my trusty TomTom would lock in about 10 seconds! It really p*ssed me off! ;)

Now with the following combination - FoxHound SniperWolf ROM, Siyah kernel 3.2.8.2, Stock XXLPX modem & Crypted AGPS Patch - I get a lock in 10 to 12 seconds maximum - every time from work! At home, even indoors, I get a lock in about 10 seconds!

To be fair I think a very large portion of my success is down to "crypted" and his fantastic AGPS fix which you can find here

My Samsung Galaxy S2 is now superb for any GPS application!

If this helps anyone - please click the THANKS button below this post.

Cheers :)
[Galaxy S II General] Azurren:
I'm skeptical about "patches", "fixes" and "hacks" which are supposed to improve or fix things.. Imo if the changes are really worth having I'm sure the veteran developers around here would include similar functionality in their roms / kernels as stock or recommend you install them.

That said I have no idea what the Crypted AGPS Patch does. From what I can tell it modifies the gps.conf file

Thus editing config, not adding any new drivers / coding to significantly change how GPS works

It maybe that the major speed increase you are getting is due to the patch setting a new Local GPS server. FasterFix (free from the android market) will allow you to set your GPS server yourself to greatly improve GPS Locking speed.

I've set mine to the UK (uk.pool.ntp.org) and can achieve a GPS lock within 4 seconds

Just tested the speed while writing this. Believe me I have nothing to gain by exaggerating :D
[Galaxy S II General] MaRw1n:
Thanx

NICE
[Galaxy S II General] jellywobbles:
Maybe, if you had read the thread that I linked to in my post (as jje did) before you replied you would have had a greater understanding of what crypted was doing with his fix; and more so, what FasterFix does / does not do! ;)

Be rash - try it! Believe you me - it works! :)
[Galaxy S II General] Azurren:
Loving how you cut the quote at the point where I read through his thread and changelog and report back what it

appears

to do :p

Still, I have an open mind.. I will give it a try (although I remain dubious) :)
[Galaxy S II General] jellywobbles:
Look mate - I don't want to cross swords with you, but ... you said in your post quite clearly

As the dev says in his thread that I linked to, he uses his own NTP SERVERS - he very clearly explains what his AGPS Patch does!

I understood what the AGPS Patch was doing. If you also understood what the AGPS Patch was doing, then why on earth would you say that you have no idea what it does?? :confused:

Anyway - no matter - it works brilliant for me - end of!

Cheers :)
[Galaxy S II General] Azurren:
Well what I meant was that I don't know what his patch actually did.. Of course it uses different servers (As you say, that's explained in his thread) but what ELSE does it do?

For example, this is different from my current GPS.conf:

QOS_ACCURACY=50

QOS_TIME_OUT_AGPS=95

QOS_TIME_OUT_STANDALONE=80

QosHorizontalThreshold=1000

QosVerticalThreshold=500

Do you know what all these changes do?

Regardless I've done my own testing and checking.

5 tests using FasterFix: (uk.pool.ntp.org)

17 second lock

5 second lock

5 second lock

6 second lock

8 second lock

5 tests using the AGPS Patch:

15 second lock

12 second lock

3 second lock

39 second lock

14 second lock

33 second lock

An extra one as the results differed greatly

Hybrid: (Using the patch with uk.pool.ntp.org)

14 second lock

6 second lock

7 second lock

9 second lock

7 second lock

Some further testing:

Ping this: ntp.derekgordon.com

230-240ms

His server

And Ping this: uk.pool.ntp.org

44ms (Stable)

UK server

Both tests seem to confirm the same.

NOTE: These tests were done in the UK, I believe the sever for the "patch" is located in the USA. Therefore I have no doubt that the patch would provide better results for those in the USA

I keep calling it a patch when all it's really a config (text) file :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] jellywobbles:
OMG - far far too techy for me! If you are really that concerned, you really should direct your comments on the devs thread right here - I am sure he'll love to "engage with you"! For me - I am not interested, OK?

It works brilliantly; I don't care or understand what it does, or how it does it - end of!

Similarly, I drink Woodford Reserve bourbon - love it in fact, but I don't give a fig how they make it! :)
[Galaxy S II General] Azurren:
You're completely right, you should use whatever works well for yourself. All I posted was the tests (Really simple, just using GMaps and counting how many "blinks" the GPS icon did before locking :p)

The "Ping" tests just measured how long it took to "talk" to both servers

I would recommend you try-out FasterFix though, it may reduce your GPS lock speed :)

You could always just re-patch it if you want to revert

Oh and this has been bothering me for a while so I'll just say it.. I didn't give this thread a one star rating. :(

It's possible although a bit unwieldy. Flash stock rom (wipe everything in the process), set it up, make a nandroid backup, wipe data again, flash CM, make another nandroid backup. Now when you want to use stock, just restore the nandroid backup (no need to wipe data), vice versa to use CM. I've been doing this for a while to test my two roms, works fine this way. Limitations are that your smses, contacts, emails, apps etc are separate in each rom much like how dualboot does it.
