Hi.

I'm new to Android Open Source Project.

I downloaded "GT-I9100G_ICS_Opensource_Update1.zip" from Samsung Open Source website.

Now, using that I want to build/compile my own ICS Rom for Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G.

I have the Android Open Source ICS 4.0.4_r2.1 completely downloaded.

Ubuntu (32-bit) system

All the basic tools mentioned on Android Open Source (Initialization) webpage.

Please, help.

Thank you.

Remove the battery and hold the button on the download mode, then insert the battery and run.

post your problem in galaxy note sub-forum

anyway is not bricked

bricked is a phone/tablet with

bootloader problems

not your case

a bricked phone looks like "dead" and very hard to be solved without service tools

so be careful when flashing ROMs

!

It seems is not a clean flashing or try the right version of Odin for your tablet/phone on sammobile just take a look here

Hi guys,

Does anyone know of an Android version of the type of App that allows you to make a list of apps that you are planning to buy, then notifies you of any price changes etc? There seems to be loads of options for this on iOS but I have not seen any on Android. The only one I ever found did not show 99% of the Market and seemed to be American.

I would love to be able to log a list of games I am interested in so that I don't forget to buy them when I have money available for games! Notifications of price changes aren't too important but would be nice - the main thing is not forgetting apps I am interested in.

I've got everything crossed one of you knows of such an app :)

Thanks!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bangawasawa:
First, this should be in the Q/A section, in my opinion.

Second, the only thing I've found REMOTELY similar to appshopper on Android is the website www.appbrain.com. I'm not sure if they have an app though.

EDIT: Actually they do have an app, this should be it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vbS5hcHBzcG90LnN3aXNzY29kZW1vbmtleXMuYXBwcyJd

Bear in mind that Android market is not as neatly organized as Apple's AppStore so there is a huge amount of crap that pops out when you search for a concrete title.

I know iOS has that too, but at least Apple cuts SOME of that crap so you are not bothered with wallpapers and such stupid junk. Anyway, I'm not bashing at Android, I think as an Xperia Play user I can say I'm quite happy with what's on offer.

I just wish more iOS developers would consider it worthwhile to port their games.

Sorry for the rant ;)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] aros2k:
'Thanked' for your quick reply! :) That's brilliant, I'll download Appbrain and check it out.

Sorry for posting in the wrong section - this is the only one I use. Mods feel free to move this if need be.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] aros2k:
Seems like a good app but unfortunately no 'favourites' or similar list to remember what you want to install. Any other ideas guys? :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] aros2k:
I've just discovered 'Best Apps Market' that lets you build a wish list of apps you are interested in. Looks good so far, worth picking up if you have been after what the OP describes. Please Thank me if you grab this!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Jotamide:
I'm also looking for this. App Brain looked okay, but there's not way I'm creating an account with my Gmail or FB credentials.

AppZapp Beta

You could try AppZapp beta (search for it on Google Play, sorry I can't add links yet).

It's one of the better ones available for iOS devices but it looks like they're making it for Android now too!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarFishUK:
I bought a Galaxy Note a month or so ago. I'm not sure if this happened before the ICS update or if it came with it as it's still all a bit new. I'm wondering if the following behaviour is a fault (hardware or otherwise), is a setting that I can alter or if it "just is".

I use the Note a lot to play music especially at night as I'm going to sleep, when I have the Note on either the quietest volume setting or something close to it. I have noticed that when the volume level is low on quiet passages in the music it drops out altogether. This is quite noticable as any background hiss (on older recordings) drops to silent then comes back in again as the music approaches a louder passage. It does the same on video.

It can be quite annoying and very distracting. If I turn the volume up (past about half way on quieter, older recordings) the problem vanishes completly so it looks like an issue with the pre-amp or DAC?

I have tried different audio players and different headphones with no change. I have also tried playing music without headphones (using the in-built speaker) and think that does it also, although it's harder to tell.

The wierd thing is googling around I can't find anyone reporting the same problem, which makes me think I possibly have a fault. Any ideas? Could someone else with a Note on ICS try the same thing and report their findings?

Test is: find somewhere very quiet. Play some quiet music on the Note and turn the volume right down until it is barely audible with the earphone pressed in. Try different pieces of music and see if the sound drops out on quieter passages - for me, it does.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krypton_the_slayer:
I found this happening on a fade out of a song (Bjork - Play Dead). On volume 1 the sound would cut out much earlier than on volume 2. It sounds like a classic noise reduction technique kicking in - designed to reduce hiss.

Not much pop music is mixed like this any more I don't think. You'd certainly notice it more on Classical music where the dynamic range is far greater than Pop.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarFishUK:
Perfect - yes, that describes my problem. And yes, it is classical music where I find it most noticeable (especially older recordings which tend to be quieter with quite a bit of background hiss). I wonder if there is any way to diable the noise reduction...?

Appreciate your help. At least I now know I don't have a faulty device. Massive thanks.

By the way the best answer I have so far is to play on higher sound levels and use an set of headphones with an old style (non digital) volume control to bring the sound back down to a reasonable level at the earphonesd. Pretty poor solution really - had hoped for better from my lovely new Note.

I too have this problem with my new Galaxy Note (ICS 4.0.4). I'd be interested to hear from any Note users that *do not* have this problem when playing back audio at low volumes. If you don't notice the audio completely dropping out, please list what version of Android you're running. Thanks!

I guess we need some more experimentation to see if it's a hardware or software issue (or both).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kryglik:
Hi,

I am quite sure this is a software bug. When my note was using gingerbread, it was OK. It started to behave this wasy after the (official) ICS upgrade. Some of my friends are using unofficial ROMs (4.0.3 or 4.0.4) and it is ok - I tested it. So my conclusion is that samsung put some software trying to reduce noise in low audio volume, but it's not working as it should be...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djezpur:
More people are stumbling upon this noise gate problem:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35861

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1717425

I experience it on ICS and also on CM9, only with headphones plugged in (not when listening to music via bluetooth on the Sony MW600).

It does not occur on Gingerbread, but I don't like to use that ROM as a daily driver...

Can anyone confirm if there are custom ROMS that do not have this behavior?

Or is there maybe some way to replace the ICS media playback service with the GB one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djezpur:
Well, all ICS-based custom ROMs I've tried suffer the same irritating behavior.

And it also turns out that GB has the same kind of noise gate, but the threshold seems to be a lot lower and therefore it doesn't kick in that often.

But I've just installed a CM10 nightly, and that seems to solve the issue. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonLaDroid:
my 2 cents

I can confirm, that I have similar problem.

I have the problems only when watching movies. the sound just cuts off when the character stops speaking, so it cuts off the background sound.

I tried different kernels, ROM´s... same problems on GB, ICS, CM9...

I have a hillBilly solution that works for me! When ever the sound cutting starts, I just change the volume for one level. The cutting will off course repeat... but it's indeed better than listen to the clipping...

For black clipping I use highest brightness and film screen mode. It does the trick for me...

But it just pisses me of when I realize that I have the phone with ****ty screen, sound and bricking danger...

wtf sammy... i just cant belive that i paid 540 eur for this, its sad

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonLaDroid:
Just flashed latest PA, and its till there!

Im not an expert! Does anyone remember a background noise reduction option while making a call in GB??

I cant find it in ICS or PA. I think that this background noise redustion system is causing the cutting. It must be somehow connected.... im not an dev or anything but my gut tells me that this could be!

anyone?

Take care

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djezpur:
Well, I just noticed that the sound cut-off is also back on the unofficial 08/31 build of CM10. It was much less noticeable on the 08/28 build. :crying:

The difference between the two builds is a huge decrease in sound volume: build 08/28 was much louder than the latest one. Maybe the noise gate simply doesn't kick in so soon when the system volume is cranked up. You basically get the same effect when turning up the volume completely and turn it down with an inline analog control - as suggested by StarFishUK in post #3.

So my question would be what makes the volume louder on 08/28?

And how can I get that 'cranked up volume' on newer CM10 builds or preferably on ICS roms? Any ideas?

By the way, I totally agree with your 2 cents DonLaDroid. I never had this much trouble with my old Dell Streak...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
Haven't noticed this myself (CM10), but i've noticed something incredible annoying in CM builds, and that's when i'm listening to music with headsets and i'm increasing the volume, it seems that it's "missing" a couple of steps. So when i'm increasing the volume it'll go from 5 to 8 in one step, and not 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,

It should be: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

But it is: 0,1,2,3,4,5,8
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burtcom:
How to test this problem. ..

Go to a quiet room.

Set audio level to one (one click up from silence)

Play some music with soft passages.

For me, the sound shuts off during quiet audio for speaker and wired headset. Note that this isn't simply an absence of sound. The sound turns off then suddenly starts again in the middle of a louder passage.

Bluetooth doesn't have the problem.

A gentleman on one of the Kernel threads believes this may be a hardware issue. The sound clips to cover noise from the speaker.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burtcom:
All, it seems that this is a "feature" of our phone. We will need to contact Samsung for the word on if this is a hardware issue or of it can be fixed via software. Right now it seems this happens in all ROMs, Touchwiz or AOSP.

Workaround is to use Bluetooth or a wired headset with an analog volume control.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djezpur:
No the original leak has the issue too, as well as all the other XXLSA/XXLSC-based roms.

However, on Slim Bean (and other AOSP-based roms) the noise gate doesn't kick in at a reasonable volume level, and is therefore much less apparent. Maybe some dev can figure this out?

High frequency tone workaround

As suggested in comments 40 and 41 on http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35861 (thanks for that idea, guys!), there is a workaround to keep the noise gate open by constantly playing a high frequency tone in the background.

I've created a profile in Tasker, which plays the attached sound (5 secs 22KHz tone) in a loop, as long as my videoplayer is running.

Kind of a quick and dirty way to 'solve' the issue, but at least it seems to work...

Are you listening to music with very soft passages?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daffy2:
The issue described is reproducing perfectly with Coldplay's "What If", from the album X & Y. The sound cuts out repeatedly on the slow, piano intro, over the first 50 seconds.

I own the CD, have ripped to MP3 to various MP3 encodings, as well as to FLAC (i.e. lossless conversion). At low audio levels, using Samsung's headset, sound simply cuts out, cold; it comes back once volume has picked up again in the song. Starting at audio level 5, audio output is smooth.

Similar challenges also exist with some Dire Straits MP3, although most probably is not the MP3, but, in fact, some noise cancelling kicking in where it really should not.

This applies to the default Samsung MP3 application and the default Sound-Player app, on Android 4.0.4, baseband N7000XXLRK, build IMM76D.BULR1.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slc334:
The Rogers ICS update for the Galaxy Note is not yet available. The most recent news is that the update will be available in Q2, and since it is June, that doesn't leave much time. Rogers may just ignore that deadline though, because they don't really care about letting anyone know their schedule. Samsung have already stated that the update is ready on their end, and they have given it to Rogers, so Rogers are just taking their sweet time adding their own crap to it. This means the Rogers ICS will be bloat (Rogers crap) on top of bloat (Samsung TouchWiz) on top of ICS!

The update will be done through Kies, as Rogers doesn't like OTA updates. Sorry.

P.S. - If it helps, Telus have said their update will be out on July 13th.
