[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgyfreak:
I was using the Spike Pure ICS rom untill I flashed CM 7.2. Now my phone won't boot into Recovery at all. I tried flashing the ICS version of Lite'ning Rom through Odin, but it gets stuck at "factoryfs.img" and I have no idea as to what to do.

Also, I tried flashing the stock Gingerbread firmware after a couple of hours but it says that the battery is low. Will this method work?

Moreover, will I be able to charge my phone while its in this condition?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Can you get into download mode by holding the power, home and volume down buttons when the phone is off? Also, try taking the battery out of your phone for five minutes and then replacing it. Do you get any splash screen (Galaxy S2 Logo) when the phone is powered on? If you can get into download mode, flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com. As for your battery problem, I can't see why plugging your phone in to the charger wouldn't work. Give the download mode and battery remove and replace a go first.

I was able to get the phone into Download mode till yesterday night. Though I left my phone connected to the USB port all night, it now says that the phone has low battery to get into Download mode. That's why I asked whether it would get charged or not!

I've downloaded the XWKL1 firmware and also the kernel and want to flash it as soon as my phone gets charged (if it gets charged!).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Firstly, check the sticker on the chassis of the phone under the battery & check what model you have. Secondly, if the battery won't charge, try another battery. Thirdly, if you still can't get into download mode or any other signs of life from the phone with a new battery, service centre.

Has anyone used a call blocker app that works with ice cream sandwich (ICS) on our Infuse?

Specifically I am running UniPorn b38... but if you have had any luck with a call blocker app working on an ICS build, please let me know which one you used.

I had a couple that I tried out while running gingerbread, and they worked fine.. but I can't seem to find one that is compatible with ICS.

Thanks

[SOLVED]

So far I am having good luck with "Call Master".. right now I am using the free version.. but it has officially blocked a couple "unknown" numbers so far!!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ddochi11:
I recently purchased Mercury Leather Wallet Case from ebay (Link).

I bought a no-name leather flip case from a local shop (I tried to find the same one on ebay for reference, but failed), and it was very nice case. Good quality leather with little padding. BUT, it didn't have any protection at the top and bottom of the phone. And more importantly, there was a magnet behind the phone on the right side, which interfered with s-pen operation. I started taking out the phone whenever I was home, and then I decided to get a new case.

After searching through sites and ebay, I found this Mercury case. I chose this one because the phone was detachable with a jelly case.

First, the case is not as nice as it looks on the photo. It is not real leather, more like plastic and thin. Stitching is well-done for the most part, but it could be better. The magnet closure is using glue and it is already coming apart. I will have to superglue it or tape it up. It can hold up to 4 credit cards, but it barely closes.

The best part of this case is the jelly case. It is better quality than the usual TPU case. It is slippery to slide in and out of my pockets, but provides good grip in my hands. The phone wiggles just slightly in the jelly case, but a very good fit. On the leather case, there is a silicon-based sticky pad, where the jelly case sticks onto. I have had the jelly case on and off multiple times, but it still holds the case very nicely. If I needed to, I can wipe it with a wet towel to clean it.

And here is the second issue. The cutout for camera/speaker/s-pen is slightly out of alignment. If I align the phone to the cutout, outside edge of the phone is at a slight angle from the leather case. If I align the phone to the outside edge of the leather case, camera is off to the side of cutout. It doesn't affect the camera operation, but it is an issue nonetheless.

For the price, I think it is a very good value, because you also get a very good quality jelly case. When I go out, I stick the phone into the flip case. When I am the office or home, I take it out for easy access to the phone.

Oh, it also came with a screen protector, but I already have one on, so I don't know what it is like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ddochi11:
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...laxy-note-at-t-case-ultra-capsule-series.html

I just learned that the jelly case included in Mercury Wallet case is exactly the same material as SGP Ultra Capsule Series. I had them side-by-side.

They both seem to be from Korea, so these cases may just have different branding.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
From the "Ultimate AT&T Galaxy Note Accessory Guide" thread:

Has anyone else used the PowerGen car charger with the Note? I have a handful of other ones that all claim to fast-charge devices, but apparently it only works with iPhones and iPads. But since the PowerGen unit is on the list, can I assume people have used it and confirmed it will give me a 1A charge rate on the Note? I need a charger that can keep up with the Note occasionally drawing 1.4 A or more (display 100% brightness, GPS, LTE, Bluetooth all active, running Navigation).

A quick search for "powergen" in this forum only brings up the above thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slapshot591:
Works like a champ. My battery was charging at 1600mAh while streaming soundcloud and using navigation. Definitely does the job.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ms0529:
I am using my car charger for galaxy tab 10.1 (2.0 amp) and it is working much better than any of the 1 amp chargers I have tried, OEM, boxwave, etc...

I also use the GT 101. 110V charging brick, so when I travel, only one brick and two cables. My experience is that the 2 amp charger works really well and will charge the phone while using GPS full time, where the OEM charger and other 1 amp chargers either maintain charge, or slightly discharge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
Thanks for the confirmation! Of course, now I discover Amazon won't ship that to Canada, and amazon.ca does not carry it. :crying: I'd go see what TELUS has to offer, but I'm sure it will be A) expensive and B) not have dual USB ports, or perhaps not even a detachable cord. :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tdamocles:
If you do find one, also buy a charge-only usb cord.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
Is that still needed if the charger itself correctly supports fast charging? The cord I use now is the one from my Touchpad. I get 1 A to the Note from the AC plug, and the Touchpad gets around 1.8 A. I do also have a charge-only cable (much thinner cord, only two wires), but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tdamocles:
The cord from the touchpad is probably wired correctly internally for fast charge. I bought a similar dual car charger and did not see a difference with the micro usb sync cable. I only saw a difference with a charge-only micro usb cable. The phone sees what pins are connected and determines if it is going to charge in usb charge mode(<=500ma) or AC charge mode(>=500ma).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
So you use the Touchpad USB micro cable to charge your Note in the car? I thought the cable is too short? I am looking for a LONG USB micro cable that is shorted so it will give >500mA.

I am planning to buy the PowerGen but I need recommendation on the CORRECT USB cable that is long enough.

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

What cable do you use?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
I don't think it is, because it also works as a normal USB data cable. If pins 2 and 3 are shorted (D+ and D-), then the cable become "charge only" and cannot be used for data.

Then it sounds like that car charger was an "iPad-compatible" one, i.e.: it does not have D+/D- shorted out to indicate to non-Apple devices that it is capable of more than 500 mA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
The cable is about a meter in length. I only need about half that to reach from the plug to the phone mount on the dash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
So then how does it charge fast then? If the cable isn't shorted? Motorola does the same thing. IIRC its a shorted setup to allow for fast charging. All of my USB cables come from Samsung, HP, and Motorola and I use them as data cables as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
You short the pins inside the AC adapter or car charger, rather than the cable. If I understand correctly, the danger of using a charge-only cable is if you plug it into an actual USB port that isn't designed to supply more than 500 mA. Your device could then try to pull down, say, 2000 mA and potentially damage the power supply on your laptop or desktop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Ahh OK. Well, the cigarette lighter/USB converters must act like shorted out wall chargers.

That's my setup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] btswein:
I'm using the Rocketfish 3.1A Model# RF-M657D with my Note. While using Google Nav, lowest brightness, keys backlight off, Sync off, HSPA+, the phone still loses charge (albeit, slowly). I'm assuming this is because the charger is not internally shorted between pins two and three as it is marketed as a iPad/iPhone charger. I'm using a Belkin Data/Charge cable so I know that is not shorted.

I have been doing some reading and last night, I purchased the "Satechi Smart Adapter Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S (I can't post links yet, google it.) so I will report back when I receive and pair it with the Rocketfish.

One thing I can't understand is how some of you have reported 1600mA from your car chargers. I am reading that without this adapter/cable mod, the Note will only run 460mA or so. With the adapter/cable mod, the Note's hardware maxes out at 960mA. Also, is their an app that allows me to see how much amperage the Note is receiving or are you guys pulling out the multimeter?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tigerknight:
Where/how do you get this info? Asking because I'm curious to see how my car charger does. It has usb ports rated at 2A, and I think it's 2A shared instead of per port, but want to see how it actually does when plugged in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
My rocket fish model must put out more than yours. My pic is above your post. With Google Nav, Google play music (streaming, not native music), full sync, brightness to at least 50% it only lost 4% over 30-40mins.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] btswein:
From what I read, your charger is an .5 amp.

It's not like my phone dies or anything, but it'll lose like 5% an hour and I could be exaggerating. Are you using a charge-only cable or modded cable/charger at all? Like I said, I think this phone is only pulling down 460mA without said mod and I find 1600mA to be incorrect as I read the Note will only pull down 960mA max. We'll see what this adapter does for my charge times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
They only thing I'm using is that exact setup posted. RF adapter and a Motorola atrix desktop dock charge cable.. (basically just a longer version of the standard wall charger)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] btswein:
Ah, charge-only cable is the main factor here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
OK, I lied, I'm using the OEM cable that came with the Motorola Atrix 4G, not the longer cable from the desktop dock. I just checked my car and that's the cable that's in there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
Those people are probably getting those numbers from certain battery monitoring apps or widgets, and they only estimate the charge current based on other readings.

For example, let's say you have a 2500 mAh battery and the battery percentage goes from 7% to 13% in 5 minutes. That's a 6% difference. Assuming 100% is 2500 mAh, that would make 6% = 150 mAh of charge capacity. To dump that much charge into the battery in 5 minutes would require a current of 1800 mA (60 / 5 * 150). However, this calculation assumes that the percentage reading is accurate and linear, and that the battery capacity is in fact 2500 mAh.

The most accurate reading I've found is to look at the /sys/devices/platform/sec-battery/power_supply/battery/batt_current_adc file. It shows the charge current in tenths of an amp. I've only ever seen it in the 9900's on my Note (i.e., 990 mA). Others have reported just slightly higher than 10000, so the Note is configured to draw a maximum of 1 A, probably governed by the power management driver in kernel or the USB controller itself.

Thus on the stock 2500 mAh Samsung battery, you should expect at best 2.5 hours for a full charge. That assumes nothing is using up power at the same time (i.e., turn off the phone while charging). My 5400 mAh Mugen would then need at least 5.4 hours for a full charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Just wanted to update everyone here. I ended up buying the Satechi grounding adapter, and along with my generic data/charge cable and my Rocketfish 3.1A output charger, my Note WILL charge while using GPS. Highly recommended product.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
to my knowledge its impossible to get more than 1amp charge (1000mah) to a stock galaxy note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Correct. Hardware limit is about 960mA.

I'm pretty sure that pre-installed apps like that cant be downloaded and installed from a .apk, Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that they are built into the rom. You may be stuck with whichever music app came on your rom.

You could just use the Google play music app. It plays music stored on your SD and can also stream music from Google's server if you have the desktop app syncing your music folder.
