[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paverity:
Samsung NOTE - dead 32gb SD card

first - apologies - I am not an XDA developer (I am a retired architect... and a noob)

This thread came up when I searched "Samsung note destroys SD card". I will simply report my experience in the hope that others may find it useful.

I get a Samsung NOTE G-N7000 in late August & buy a 32Gb SD card from amazon (specifically getting a Samsung one to avoid any incompatibility)

I load about 7gb of music tracks onto it from my PC; it works perfectly& gives me good quality music playback until a week ago; then all playback form the card becomes impossible with an "unrecognised file type" message. I format the card in the phone. I dismount it. I slot itn to my PC, where "my computer" says that it has zero gb capacity, & will not format it. I mount it in my old Blackberry Curve which says it has 29.2 gb capacity - I format it - & the curve says it now has 1.2 gb capacity. The PC still says it has no capacity.

The only possible cause I cant hink of it is that I seem to remember there had just been an Android software uprgrade (to 4..0.3.?)

I find Samsung phone help, ring them, and get very badly run around - several times I am given a phone number for "Samsung SD cards" which is actually the UK "Orange" help number. I have rung three or four numbers at least threet imes each before I get through to Samsung SD cards help. They ask for photos of both sides of the micro SD card - having (I presume) established that it is a genuine Samsung product they e-mail me a product return form & code.

I have sent the card off to Florijn in the Netherlands.... I am not holding my breath.

It has not been a good week for memory...

- Outlook Express started to compact messages as the computer was closing down (so I have no e-mails before 15th Nov 2012)

- this SD card died on me

- & I forgot to go to a folk music dinner &music session that I had booked a week previously

I begin th think alzheimers might be a welcome release....:p

Your "watch this noob" video... perhaps one of the funniest videos I have seen for a while ... and certainly the most annoying... andyou expect "thanks"? :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qazibasit:
Well thats something really unusual. Because i am using my note for a year now and bought a 16 gb card with it. I onky encountered 3 errors where my n7000 stopped Reading the memory saying bad memory and what i did was to take it out of the slot and then reinsert it again and It worked fine.

The only advice i give to everyone. Dont plug ur phone to the pc or any other device always keep ur phone wireless with other devices so thst the malware cant replicate to ur storage. I use kies air or bluetooth exchange in cases there is large data i cooy it to the usb and then plug that usb to my phone and it works ok.

Hello,

I am leaving in France and my actual ROM is JPLPC. Yesterday I get a notification to make the available update. I think this Samsung message but there is no what ever information as what update is it.

Anyone over there specially in my area had received such message? Should I perform the update or let go.

OK, now that we've sorted out that other thread...

I've had a look @ Checkfus, it seems your carrier released an updated firmware on 7/6/2012 - BULPD. So I guess it's up to you whether you want to update or not. As Samsung don't release changelogs, it's hard to say what's changed in this update, I guess you could ask your carrier & they might be able to tell you.

I bought the dock for the infuse and it does fit, although a little tight. The problem is the mount and arm are HUGE!!! It won't fit anywhere in the car. The search begins for a car dock that will work well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demarcmj:
I ordered a ProClip mount. They're pricey, but I've heard nothing buy good things about them. I don't have mine yet, but I'm pretty excited about it.

Thread I started a few weeks ago about them: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1734940
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sjmoreno:
big and poorly designed

Yeah, I ordered this dock and tried it out this morning and it is definitely huge. Aside from that the clips that hold it in place is mean to be used in portrait mode rather than landscape mode so the piece that your phone clips on to pops off the mount really easy. Another complaint about this dock is that in order for you to pop your phone out your thumb/finger will hit either the power button or the volume rocker on the phone.

Coming from a nicely designed Motorola Droid X phone and car dock this dock is a really major down-grade.

I have adjustable Pro-Clip mounts in my GS450h and my MDX... I have used them for years and have had no issues. If I get a chance, I will post pictures.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thacounty:
ExoGear makes a mount that is basically a big clip. I have it in my car and everyone loves it because it is completely universal. It will hold anything up to the note with room to spare but I haven't tried anything bigger. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of a charger, but it is minimal and easy to use.

Edit: Found it

[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnadke:
Or you can get a Tetrax.

Though, this solution still requires plugging your phone in. The pro is it's case-friendly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tryptonite:
I've thinking about getting this. Do you think the suction cup will stick directly to the dashboard, not the glass? I want to use a dash mount but I don't want to use a sticker to stick anything on my dash that would leave residue behind.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] micromania:
doesnt it bother you guys that AC/heat vents will be blocked in the cold winters/hot summers with the vent clip mounts?

because of this i took matters into my own hand and modified a cheapo universal mount and glued it directly onto a part of my car.

here in NJ it's illegal to have ANYTHING on the windshield or dash. buddy of mine actually got a ticket for that recently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SlyN:
I am having a problem connecting to a EAP secured wifi network on cMiui (same problem exists on Mystic's Glory 4.1).

What is strange is that connecting to the same network works without any problems on CM9 (nightly build 7/2). I have tired the usual suspects, reflashing the rom, re-booting, turning airplane mode on and off with no success.

I have edited the wpa_supplicant.conf file to add the network (I also copied the version I used with success in CM9) but that doesn't help. The last thing I have tried is manually copying over the bcm4330.sta.bin and wpa_supplicant from the working CM9, then re-booting but still no joy.

Does anyone have any ideas? I am sure it is something simple but I can't seem to find it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SlyN:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tocirahl:
Hm...I'm not really sure what's wrong, but at this point, I would just try a full wipe and reflash the ROM, - shrugs -.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zslev:
Just received my brand new gnex from Expansys UK, and while everything seems legit, I notice that the gnex box is not shrink-wrapped with plastic or anything. In fact, the only thing holding the lid bit and the bottom bit together is a little seal sticker on one side.

To those who've bought this phone in the EU, is this normal?

...maybe I'm being a bit paranoid :p

If the seal-sticker is there then it should be okay... Mine was the same, although it came from NL instead of UK in my case, but that shouldn't matter.

Now I decided to do that and also i just dived right in to a Rom with Android Kitchen to understand what it actually is, how the files are compiled, and what you can and can not change. By doing this i was able to understand how to Build a slightly modified Rom from CM9 Source and successfully flashed it to my Bionic.Here is the thread i followed to do this.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Imatoasta:
Is there anyway to output audio through the usb port and into a set of ear buds? Like a micro usb to headphone jack adapter? I hate having the audio jack on top and would love to use the bottom usb port instead.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Imatoasta:
Bump
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] blackhemi4x4:
I dont know of a actual stand alone adapter for this, but, if you get a samsung car dock, infuse dock for example, the bottom piece should route the audio.

That piece of the dock plugs into the usb port and that piece has both 3.5mm aux and the usb so you still can charge. I havent tried, but a usb extension cable should allow it to still work without having to plug the bulky adapter directly into the phone.

Thats the only option ive found so far.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Jsick:
I would like to see this more often...Apple has so many great docks where you can charge your device while outputting audio. I wish Android had more support for this.

Hey fellas,

I got my hands on the Case-mate barely there recently and wanted to share my thoughts on it. It's a snap on the back case which is made for someone who wants to keep the device as slim as possible, so it won't offer much protection either. It features a matte coating which is comfortable to hold & feel. Ports and cutouts are properly aligned and for the most part, it is what you would expect from Case-Mate.

The best so far that i have been using are:

drk.HD CM9 Kang - its the most stable, but a little more stripped down in my opinion

Abduction ICS v 1.82 - Mostly stable, only one reboot so far. made from AOKP M5. A lot of apps will randomly FC, there is no consistency with the FCs, except the Legacy Play App never works, which is a bummer cuz i wanted to try it. So far it has the worst battery life from what i can tell, either this one or the 4th Kind

Abduction: The 4th Kind - my favorite over all. Its fairly unstable as it randomly reboots... a lot. Only a few apps give me issues. there is consistency in what is unstable, a couple of toggles cause reboot. Has pretty poor battery life, even when underclocked. i really like all the AOKP additions, but its too unstable for a daily.

Does anybody have the AOKP Build 40 ROM? AOKP isn't on goo.im anymore, but i wanted to try a pure AOKP, rather than a build based on AOKP.

Also, the camera doesn't show a picture, but it does take them. Could probably be fixed by taking a previous working camera and libs from a previous build, but I don't take enough pictures (or any) to warrant me trying.
