[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsmailZU:
safest way is to flash from GB. Its easier to brick your phone when flashing from ics which is what i did:(. Its better being safe than sorry
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Quite a few custom Roms require you to install from gb, not because of the kernel issues, but for other reasons which I'm not too clear on. For instance if you flash paranoid over Ics rom with safe kernel, chances are you'll brick. Always follow the rom threads directions, never try shortcuts and 99% of the time you won't have any issues at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
Alright, but don't you have to flash GB using PC Odin, or can I use mobile Odin? Or can I use cwm?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
It's recommended to use PC odin although I think it's okay from mobile odin also. I wouldn't use cwm as that utilises the existing kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
Alright I will look into using PC Odin.... This should be fun lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praetorius:
You do not really have to flash the full rom. Just flash via mobile odin the abyssnote 39 or 42, reboot to that kernel and flash your custom rom via cwm.

I have flashed stock gb and/or ics back and forth from within mobile odin without issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmas:
+1 (till the eMMc and other bricking issues are sorted out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
Where did you get the GB rom from? Was it from the stock rom thread on here? And where did you get the kernel, I think I may have seen it on download Android rom .com...

I have my ics backed up on my sd card, so if I want to go back to ics can I just use the backup instead of finding the ics rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
Do you think they will ever be sorted out? The phone has been out a while now lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
Haha just had the freight of a life time, just flashed abnote through mobile Odin and the phone got jammed at the Samsung boot screen...lucky this time I have cwm fully installed and went right back to Franco...

LOL
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhasg1007:
Never used PC odin for flashing any roms, only used Abyss kernel 4.2 flash into recovery of abyss and flash any rom and enjoy i have been jumping from rom to rom through abyss kernel No issues till date all well and good, never flashed anything from any ICS kernels or even CM9 kernels, only abyss kernel to be ultra safe. :) ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
It won't let me install abyss kernel for some reason...both files through Odin and through cwm but it just gets stuck on the boot screen so keep having to go back to Franco....bummer :-(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxynotes:
Why not make a backup in recovery when on stock GB?This way you can restore easily no odin what so ever needed!

It is safe to restore even on ICS (or at least stock ics) right?

Can restore cause brick?(this has always been a puzzle to me)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
Apparently it can even if your not rooted or touched your phone in any way...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praetorius:
Thats bcoz abyss is gb kernel its normal you cannot boot ics.

Use abyss to flash OTHER roms from cwm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
Ahhh now I understand, so you have to flash a rom after flashing the kernel before turning the phone on.

But then that means my ics backup won't work then...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
Right if I create a backup of ics with Franco kernel, then flash abyss and cm9 to get ics back do I just have to re-flash Franco then perform a restore of ics?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
Oh my days, sounds like you are not able to install a backup with PA installed, what a pain in the bum, I guess I will just leave it

For those in the U.S. wishing to buy a Galaxy Nexus, well now you gotta wait. On the play store, it says coming soon and you have to wait for google to notify you when it's on sale again. This really sucks for anyone who wants this awesome phone. Hopefully, this is a very brief ban and will be lifted soon.

Edit: It will resume sale by next week.
[General Topics] mistermentality:
How can it go on sale next week when it is banned and google have not patched the os yet?

A court has to lift the injunction first and that has not been done yet.

When do patents expire?
[General Topics] Gorjess:
Maybe it's the nexus without jelly bean preinstalled..

Swyped from my GT-i9100
[General Topics] mistermentality:
But no ban has been lifted and the nexus ban is not jb specific, maybe that's just when they hope the patch will be ready that should allow ban to be lifted?

Dave

( http://www.google.com/producer/editions/CAownKXmAQ/bigfatuniverse )
[General Topics] vx117:
Google will work on Jelly Bean and change some things to make sure that it does not violate the patents. Only the software is affected and google is expected to release the update next week. Thus, since the patent isn't breached, then the ban is invalid.
[General Topics] mistermentality:
According to google sources and sites like fosspatents apple have to agree the product no longer infringes and then if they do a judge can lift the ban.

Apple have been ordered by court to say if it is breaking patents still by thursday so if patch is not out and checked by apple nexus cannot legally go on sale until apple inform the court they are satisfied it no longer infringes.

[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Wow you are a hater...an appeals court has delayed the ban.

What on earth could remotely make me a hater? Considering I use and progran androids I think you're mistaken.

[General Topics] vx117:
Yes! Galaxy Nexus is back on sale!!!
[General Topics] mistermentality:
Yep :)

But....it is a temporary suspension, not lifting, of the ban pending apples response this week. So not permanent lifting yet, though can't see how apple can keep it banned now google are changing the os so should be permanent lift of ban soon.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeaf:
Good fellow, again around here bothering me. I tell the 19 May last buy a Galaxy S2, came factory sealed, in fact I remove the seal, the question is that since last Sunday something very strange happens to me: charge the battery at 100% and start using the phone normally when it reaches between 30% and 40%, begins to fade as the lighting of the tactile buttons and screen, that when I have activated mobile data and the need as more cel battery consumption between the headed or cel energy loss and lose the signal goes out, if I disable mobile data if it holds until the battery to discharge, but connect with the phone off and make me inmediantamente load of 30% when it is assumed that the cel was shut down because was downloaded.

To tell a friend tell me that you step on something like a SE x10 and it was the battery with a voltage problem. Then you believe it is, that the battery is damaged and not the power to mobile or mobile to be problem?

I wonder I did, I did the following:

Calibrate the battery with CWM (I deleted the batery Stats)

I did 3 complete cycles of battery

With a multimeter measures the voltage of the battery and gave me when it comes to 3.80% by giving the prooblema and 4.10 with the battery fully charged.

To rule out problems with the loader, load it with the PC, the battery lasted a little more me, but I spend as already mentioned.

I flashed 5 times and install the ROM Andyx

If I connect to the socket and use it although it is very hard not pass this probleme when I use it only with the battery, when it comes to the percentage of battery I have before mentioned active data and give it a very intensive use (internet, games, benchmarking, etc.).

Since I bought I notice that my view is loaded very fast and just as quick to download, but until Sunday presents ehstos symptoms.

They think it's worth it to buy another battery or mobile internal problem?

Probe version of ICS LPJ European modem with LPS, the LPW and now I have the ROM ROM Andyx Extremev0 Apollo kernel and all feel the same, with percentage and holds more than others, but all happens to me .

Please help and many thanks in advance.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] butters149:
Hi,

Does anyone know a good MAps app alternative? For some reason the app is always turned on and I see 2 to 3 of them turned on in my MemoryBooster app, kind of annoying. I usually have to freeze it in Titanium Pro, but sometimes I do need navigation.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Don't use the damn memory boosters. Every time you kill a task, you waste some 0.5% of battery, because it restarts shortly afterwards. This is THE WAY ANDROID WORKS. Don't touch it because you don't know what you're doing. It's not good ole' Symbian once again where you HAD to free up RAM. Here you should never, ever try to free up RAM. When it's needed, the system will do it for you, because it knows WAY more about apps than you do on a technical level.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] butters149:
really? So our phone comes with 600MB of ram for running apps, according to the Systems UI, How much MB free should I always be having so that the phone does not lag?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Rules of Android memory management:

1) You don't think about memory management

2) You DON'T think about memory management

The system will do it for you and make sure you have minimal possible lag.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xploda:
And in addition, memory that is being used by an application doesn't necessarily use more battery than it otherwise would.

As K900 mentioned, it is indeed better to just let it be, Android will manage everything.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kalte:
Then how do you explain I was able to increase my battery life from around 12 hours to more than 24 just by force clossing crap?

You just need to know which apps autorestart and which ones don't. There are some known memory and battery hog apps that everyone should manually close, sorry but Android memory management just makes sure to have available memory, doesn't care about battery life.

0.5% of battery because of a restar? seriously?

To OP I also have maps frozen most of the time. I like Ndrive for GPS navigation. Sygic is decent, i tried it sometime, so is route 66. Waze is a completely free alternative, but depending on where you live map can need work to be useful, and also eats lots of battery and data when running.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Don't use crappy apps.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xploda:
As i said before, memory that is in use or isn't makes no difference for the battery life at all. I don't use any task killers or so, and my phone lasts nearly 3 days.

Most of the time, it requires more battery to run a task killer than to leave the apps open.

Also, some apps will remain in the memory to make sure that they will start up faster the next time you open them. Having to completely re-open an app probably requires your cpu to work a little, using some of your battery.

All in all, i don't believe that killing apps manually makes any difference.

On topic, you could try Copilot. I used it for a while and it works pretty well imo. I'm not sure how it deals with the memory though.

Can anyone help me with how to combine these multiple contacts into one?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeylanHalfdan:
Not sure if you have tried it out not, but choose one of them, hit the menu button and choose edit, then hit menu again and there should be an option for join. This will bring up your contacts list again so that you can combine multiple entries.

There should also be a way to do it through contacts on the gmail website I believe.

[Nokia Lumia 900] cruiser78:
I have a Rogers Lumia 900 unlocked and am using it on Bell. I have the latest updates and haven't had the data connectivity issue since the first update several months ago was sent out. Last night I lost data connectivity over the cell network and still haven't gotten it back. Wifi works fine though. Is anybody having this issue on a Lumia 900 on Bell?
[Nokia Lumia 900] sinnercrono:
Hey

Hey Brother if you are having data issues and even issues with calls going to VM sometimes outta nowhere go get your sim changed, i had the issue and i realized i was using bells 4G micro sim and i actually needed the new 4G LTE micro sim once i got all that setup the phone part of my lumia runs fantastic no data issues what so ever
[Nokia Lumia 900] cruiser78:
Thanks for the reply. I should already have the LTE sim. I made sure I asked for that when I got my Lumia. I haven't noticed any issues with calls going to VM without ringing... just lost my data last night.
[Nokia Lumia 900] cruiser78:
Well I seem to have fixed it. I added the proxy address of web.wireless.bell.ca port 80 to the APN settings and my data is back. That seems really strange to me that I'd have to do that since it's been working without the proxy ever since I bought my Lumia. When I got it, I tried it with and without the proxy as well as both APN's for bell... pda.bell.ca and inet.bell.ca and they all worked. O well it's working again so that's all that really matters.
[Nokia Lumia 900] pistol44:
Glad to hear it's working now..

Wondering if you can confirm a couple things..

Internet sharing, is it locked for you? As well is MMS or group texting working for you?
[Nokia Lumia 900] cruiser78:
Internet sharing is locked for me... I tried a Rogers sim in my phone and it worked perfect but locked with the Bell sim. MMS it not working as the network setup app from Nokia is available. I haven't tried group texting so I can't comment on that.
[Nokia Lumia 900] pistol44:
Sucks.. So Im in the same boat as with my Titan 2.. no internet sharing, MMS and group text.

So the Nokia network setup app is still unavailable at this time?
[Nokia Lumia 900] cruiser78:
Yes, that is right. It is still unavailable. :(
[Nokia Lumia 900] pistol44:
Is there any speculation that it might fix the MMS situation?
[Nokia Lumia 900] cruiser78:
I'm pretty sure there's no speculation as to whether or not it will fix it. That is the only thing holding back MMS from working as it allows us to change the MMS servers. Once that app is available again, we will have working MMS as long as you put in the correct MMS server.

Telus HTC AMAZE 4G but using it on BELL

i did the usual unlocking phone soo i can use custom roms and such as ARHD GB but i wanted to go to ICS but was running into issues from having a custom rom.. soo did some research and found out i had to go back to telus stock gb rom.. the best way to do this and found very easy to use was the amaze all in one tool kit! basically do the reverse of what you had to do to unlock it... i relocked the boot.. found the stock telus gb rom and installed that.. then basically did all the ota updates for ics telus from the actually device and after got the stock ics from telus and re unlocked the boot and everything is good now.. i know some of you will ***** and complain but like myself i didnt really find anything useful from searching around on the forums except for the tools to do this.. but here you go for all you noobs like myself... if you have any questions dont be afraid to priv msg me

I just want to ask about charging battery..

I use ICS rom now and everyday must charge

my question is :

1. when battery charging is it good to

TURN OFF or TURN ON

the phone?

2. can you explain me about wipe battery stats?

because I still confuse after wipe battery stats..must I charge again until 100% or what else? :silly::silly:

thx
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaDiS234:
1. Better is when your phone is turned off while charging

2. If you change your rom, charge battery to 100% and wipe stats
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fotak-x:
i think its better to charge battery when phone is on because when you turn phone on you may drain battery for 2~3 %

and wipe battery in cwm advance options when your batt is full
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
thats incorrect, with that its like telling everytime you reboot your phone its bad for the battery...not at all, thats just consuming!

its better for the electricity badget though :silly::laugh:
