Priority by number:

1- eMMC bug, known for a long time and can be solutioned if samsung wants to....

2- Black clipping, can get rid of it by not seeing vids or black images.......

3- Battery drain, it's impossible to have to walk with a charger in our pockets with average use. If you use data transfer all day you can't use it for a day (10H)

4- Updates from samsung are a joke, touchwizz may be a great launcher but not with ICS. Tanks for those who developed others..

5- Total lack of interest by samsung: 7 million sold with about 70% of those with a high possibilty to be returned and get a new MB?? That's a risk !!!!! No solution, no excuse, no explanation, nothing from samsung.......

Oh well i really like my note, bought it for a reason and it does what i want but there are too many bugs/problems with it to be a fully functional device. What does samsung about it??? Release SGSIII.......... yeah right nice solution.

Had a samsung before and gave me a lot of problems, i know i shouldn't have gone back but..........let's try to solve this.

add Entropy to the list of people who gets a lot of complains from users..:D

anyway, i suggest that the emmc or wiping bug should be put as the top priority so that when samsung or anyone from their team visits the thread, the first thing they will notice is the said bug... a bold/red text maybe? and put some sticky magic to this thread?

i don't know if its just me but i only care about the bug that kills our devices.. i can live with the other issues...

im going to tweet this thread everyday.... hoping for fast actions from samsung... its the first time i got so disappointed with sammy..

Is EMMC issue a possible hardware problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nickshertzer:
Fix this:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Depends on how you define "hardware". The eMMC firmware is such a low-level item that right now, it's considered a fixed aspect of your hardware. Firmware updates of chips like this aren't even in the eMMC standard - it's a vendor-proprietary extension sort of thing. We've had indications from a reliable source that firmware upgrades ARE possible but they will cause a "traditional" hardbrick in the process, so can't be done except by those who have the ability to recover from "traditional" (bootloaders gone) hardbricks. The trigger conditions for damage are in software (which is why we can work around the defect even though it is present in all of our devices.)

I have the S-pen issue. The Note recognizes a touch when the pen is hovering above the screen.

I also just received my Note from the service center after encountering the emmc bug. So I can't complain about this point - Samsung did fix the problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leppo:
I only wish for:

-foolproof fix of emmc bug

-lighten up on the Touchwiz... AOSP ICS is beautiful and, for the most part, more functional. Don't reinvent the wheel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] programatix:
MMS would not send/receive if Data Packet is not enabled. Previously in GB (Galaxy Note only) it was able to do so. I really hope that Samsung fix this issue for all its Android phones.

After connecting a USB storage device via USB OTG cable, and successfully dismount the device, the phone would not be able to go to "sleep" anymore. It seems like one of the service called "UsbStorageUnmountter" prevents it from entering suspend mode. This problem exists in GB and ICS.

The stock email application does not mark read emails as read for Hotmail account. Previously it was able to do so properly in GB.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
This is exactly why I would not return my 'Note to a service repair centre, for fear of getting a 'refurbished' device goodness knows how old. Secondly, its the reason for my getting a refund on the device and rejecting a new replacement. As I understand, the 'Brick Bug' app will check to see if you have an affected eMMc, but not if you have one where the proprietary firmware has been modified and fixed. So purchasers have no idea if they have a fixed phone or not (unlikely, I feel). Thirdly, and this one prevented me from buying the S3, Samsung do not publish change logs with each update. We now see ICS updates coming through for the Indian handsets, but as usual, the only comment from Samsung is that it improves stability or performance. That's what they said when I upgraded to ICS, so no reason to trust Samsung at all. Maybe the Indian updates do address the majority of issues, but there is no evidence of that if we go by recent history. The most likely outcome is going to be the 'work around the defect' solution that you describe, it is the only logical way to patch up a 7 million unit production run balls up. But that doesn't fix all the issues that I had with my own GSN. And this brings me onto my next point, which is a cultural one. Companies like Samsung will not admit to a mistake or fault, not unless sales fall through the floor and it makes the headlines. I'm not looking for confessions, just change logs. Lets face it, Even Microsoft do that with Windows. The biggest enemy Android has right now, is, SAMSUNG.

Samsung published (and sold) SGN with SWYPE (implemented by Samsung not just soft from swype).

It worked on GB now on ICS only occasionally

SWYPE is aware of the problem and has told Samsung what to do, but......

(link to SWYPE forum= http://forum.swype.com/showthread.p...nstall-versions-after-Samsung-Kies-ICS-update).

Everything S-pen needs to be worked on by Samsung unless they want really bad publicity regarding this (with effect on sales for coming devices), I bought the phone for the pen, but it is mostly useless.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
Sorry but what exactly is it that makes you so angry? Ok you got a defective unit. That's unfortunate but that's just normal. It is simply impossible to manufacture millions of devices without some being faulty. Do you really think they can check every unit before it leaves the factory? They offered you a replacement. What else could they have done? Let's keep reasonable here otherwise the whole thing isn't going to help anything. Because if the complaints are not reasonable they certainly won't take us seriously.

I can second the demand to fix the colour and video issues along with the urgent need to fix the emmc bug. And battery life (wakelock problem) should also be taken care of. But i cannot complain about the quality of the phone itself. I would even say the quality is excellent. And random reboots are not normal with this phone. They only happen with the franco kernel or if you have a defective phone.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
When I get successive units sent to correct faults in the previous units, only to find they have the same faults, I take no prisoners. That was prior to the upgrading ICS software which made performance worse and renders the unit not fit for the purpose. And yes, I do expect EVERY unit to be qc checked, just as it was done by intel decades ago. Myself, and a lot of other guys paid for a premium flagship product and got short shipped. Any company is bound to make a mistake, they are obliged to correct that mistake. Not only did Samsung fail to correct those mistakes, they insisted on repeating the same time over. Its called taking the piss. Thats the beef
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
1. As everyone's said, emmc issue needs immediate attention. Perhaps if a super brick is experienced, replacement motherboards could contain chips with firmware correction applied. Those who need it will be a handful of total owners.

2. Sort out ics battery consumption.

3. Black clipping issue with grey to deep blacks.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Higgsy:
I'm seeing alot of feature requests in this thread. I think the purpose of the thread is/should be about bugs such as emmc/black clipping issues/s pen problems. E.g. Just because some apps etc don't display properly in a lower lcd density is not a bug - Samsung never intended/developed to be this way.

emmc bug is number 1

emmc bug is number 1

But i think the phone feels laggy compare to other Samsung ICS phones. CM9 is running very very smoth on the Note, why cant Samsung get the phone running like that. When

or if CM9 or MIUI gets HDMI support, samsung will be the worst developer, for their own prudukt, by far. How Embarrassing. Shame on you Samsung
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
This thread is full of complaints that have zero validity, rediculous demands, and worthless threats... all of which totally obscures any valid complaint (such as the emcc bug)..

Now, statistically, the Note owners in this forum represent <<0.01% of the millions of Note owners worldwide, so if anyone here believes that ranting and raving about irrelevancies is the way to get any sort of focus, priority and attention on real issues then they need to go back to grade school...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
There are other statistics that come into play which cannot be ignored either, and certainly not by any profesional markeing executive. The first being, if one person says it, 10 more are thinking it, and secondly, it is six times harder to gain a new customer than it is to retain existing customers. In a nutshell, if you loose customers, you have to work harder just to mark time with market share. So, it is in everyone's interest to make thier own opinion known, publicly, particularly if you have a gripe about a product. Its been done before, and it works.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
This definitely does not work. If we really want to create a thread with serious complaints it should be a locked thread where only a mod can write. This way only real, approved bugs would be mentioned. Not peculiar ones like a demand to check each and every unit that leaves Samsungs factories. They never going to take us seriously like this. So if a mod feels like doing so it would be great. Otherwise this undertaking is forsaken.

___________________________________________________________

To the critics, remember the OP said:

1. Post what you believe to be Samsung hardware/software issues

2. We will merge these into a cohesive/concise list

3. We barrage them with complaint tweets with the link to this thread.

I think that's fair enough.

Also, to those who feel the product is just another 'phone, that is a somewhat shallow appraisal of the device. I would go as far as to say that the 'phone element a secondary function. Even Samsung would agree to that one, after all, they called it the 'NOTE' not the 'PHONE' and why would they make a phone so stupidly big, its wider than the original motorola 'talking house brick' from way back in the late '80s. The reason Samsung made it so stupidly big is because its more than a phone, much much more. In fact many people think it's not big enough, so lets introduce the NOTE Mk2, The NOTE 10.1 or are they going to be just phones as well.

If your critical of this thread, remember, its about a buch of guys who spent their hard earned cash on a flagship product that sank soon after its maiden voyage aka the Galaxy Titanic. Rather than sitting on their butts, they are trying to do something positive. If this thread hurts your eyes so much, pop on a pair of pink spectacles and head over to http://www.samsung.com http://www.htc.com or even http://www.apple.com but dont hit a guy for trying to do something. A decerning customer makes a product better.

Edit. If you don't have rosy pink spectacles, don't worry. Take a picture with the Note and it'll put the pink in for you.

Hello everyone..... where have we reached on this issue..... i have been sending my tweets day and night....are we making any progress?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indie:
Hi the truth is people won't complain. I tried doing the very thing a few months ago trying to get people to target Facebook and other Samsung sites. I even emailed gsm arena a few times. This was all on the video and screen issues thread which is now further down the pecking order. Very few people complained on these sites as compared to the thread. What people don't realise is that this is won't go away with 2 or 3 people complaining on behalf of a few hundred. Samsung will just see a few people. We need everyone to post so they see the true picture. I guess people who genuinely complain get their rewards. After many letters and emails and calls to Samsung head office they sent me a direct replacment. The screen has uniform colours and shades even on grey backgrounds and no hue changes (like on my previous) and most of all the black clipping has been improved by up to 90%. I hardly see and clipping now unless I'm in a pitch black room. If I do i just need to change the red to +2 in screen adjuster without changing any contrast so my blacks still look great and its gone. The screen is also sharper than my previous 4 notes.

So people will get their rewards if they are willing to put a little time in. EVERYONE needs to complain at the same time and not just a few.

Hi All,

It's a great idea you've come up with oka1. And the other idea about making some noise on other sites such as 'gsmarena', 'endgagdet', etc., looks good too.

How about putting it up on the 'petitionsite' like some people in the middle east have done where they have demanded for their version of ICS ( poor souls, don't know what they are asking for ). I am not allowed to post links yet, so pls google " ics petition site middle east " for more info & ideas.

I think we need to go with all we got, hit them from all directions so that they take notice.

Since this is my first post pls excuse anything you may find objectionable.
