[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys2Tav:
hi all,

i got a bargin latly and have now got a note but the main donside to this is that is has a chip/crack on the edge of the screen near the menu button.

i need to know anyone oppinion if i can get away with just repacing the digitizer or wil i have to repace the full lcd aswell, im really low on cash now but iv been checking ebay and heres what i found

digitizer - £8.95/$13.89

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Front-White-Digitizer-lens-Glass-Screen-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-i9220-N7000-/300733099033?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item460516ec19

full lcd + digitizer - £118.04/$138.24

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LCD-Touch-Digitizer-Screen-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-GT-N7000-i9220-white-/221002976265?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3374cdcc09

iv added the pics bellow and would love feedback to see what is the best situation for me. my so called local samsung repair centre who carnt even fix phones propperly (feedback from alot of people with broken screens) said that i have to replace it all and they quoted me £180.

please let me know guys :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Ive seen worse :p

A simple digitizer replacement should suffice, theres numerous how to videos on you tube.

Just take your time and do not rush it, Also, Dont skimp on the price, If you get a cheap aftermarket digitizer, the performance might not be as good as a genuine one.

Finally, once you get it fixed, There is an app that can tune the sensitivity so you can get it perfect :) I think its called screentuner im not sure, google it ! :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys2Tav:
thanks man really appreciate your help i didnt realise if i got a cheaper one would make it work crap. how much would you say to speand roughly?

btw i kno it isnt the worst but i ike my phone to be in mint condition especialy as i get bored very easy then it ends up in the mp withing 2 months lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
im not saying buy a really expensive one and get ripped off, I just mean dont buy one made from cheap parts, Like a chinese one.

If you could afford it, Buy genuine, If you cant, buy a recommended one, Check the sellers feedback and scour the internet for recommendations, There may even be some in the accessories section

EDIT: Im unsure whether the amoled screen is an all in one screen, Meaning the screen also recognises the touch and there is no digitizer, Does your phone respond to touch ?

Look at this i found on ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Outer-Len...arts_Tools&hash=item20c7b38727#ht_2782wt_1037 It is just the outer glass screen, So if you get this, It wont affect the touch response :) :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moon2:
I understand that it would affect the sale price, but be careful as I've found the most difficult thing to do is to separate the digitizer from the LCD screen without patience. The safest route would be to get the Digitizer + LCD costs, but ofc it costs ridiculously higher than just the digitizer.

For howto videos, search for "Galaxy Note Disassembly" on YouTube.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Yeah +1

Upon some more searching it seems like a really tricky job, Some say impossible, The choice is yours really, Try it and hopefully save your self some money, Or take the hit and get the whole package - Screen, Glass, digitizer ect.

You could also look at some sort of glass crack repair kit, Like they do on car windscreens, Its only a little crack where the soft keys are so its not disrupting the view of the screen, And it might just save some £££ and a lot of hassle too
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys2Tav:
again thanks guys,

the thing is all aspects of the screen are fully functioning. it did get it at a very good price i will admit it was cheap but it was only because it was too big for the women who had it previous and cex offered her £190 but wouldnt take it because o the crack!

im all for making sure my device look good i know you can say it doesnt ook bad but its just if it was cheap enough to fix i will do it. or if i end up putting it in the MP in a few weeks when i bored it can either buy and throw in the digitizer or the full pakage.

over than that this is why i posted iv never dont it before and iv sceen my mate do his galaxy s1 but thats it lol
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] darekdavis:
Guys,

Is there a ROM out there that has the phone portion of the software removed, making it more like a tablet? I have since upgraded/swapped to a different phone and would like to still use my HD2 as a wifi mini tablet without having the phone option, missing sim card icon present. This may have been addressed before, but I was unable to find any info on this. If there is something like this available I would appreciate any help in finding it.

Thanks for taking the time,

Darek
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mengfei:
i guess none, closes you can get is Paranoid Android ROM with tablet form
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
You could try removing apk file from whatever ROM you wanted. Like phone.apk etc, no promises that this would work but it would be worth a shot.

HTC Dumlock -- Now flash kernels in recovery without S-off

TWRP 2 Instructions:

Install the build of TWRP using your method of choice, but you must actually flash TWRP to recovery. No fastboot booting it. We need it in recovery so that this build of TWRP will be flashed to your boot. This new build of TWRP has features in it to easily restore your original boot.

Reboot into recovery.

Make a backup of your phone.

Tap Advanced.

Tap HTC Dumlock. (If you don't see HTC Dumlock then you need to remove any custom TWRP theme that you might be using.)

Tap Install HTC Dumlock. This will install the app and binaries needed to make everything work nicely.

Reboot your device.

Find and open the HTC Dumlock app.

If/when prompted, give the app root (SuperUser) permissions.

Tap the Execute HTC Dumlock button.

Wait patiently for a couple of minutes. It takes a little while.

If your device doesn't reboot automatically, reboot it manually. Reboot it normally. DO NOT reboot it to recovery.

You should now be in your recovery, but your recovery is flashed into boot.

Tap Advanced.

Tap HTC Dumlock.

Tap Restore Original Boot.

Use your recovery like normal. Flash a new kernel. Restore a backup with a different kernel. Do whatever you please!

Consider donating!

Note, you must repeat steps 8 through 18 EVERY TIME you need to flash boot.

[HTC One V] aaronrw:
Will goomanager install this recovery for me? Thanks in Advanced still learning :confused:
[HTC One V] Hideaki02:
It tries, but I've never seen it succeed. You usually need to flash recovery using fastboot on the One V.
[HTC One V] aaronrw:
Can this be installed via terminal emulator by chance? I'm not too sure what the commands would be if so......:o

[HTC One V] sbkjuggalo:
Alright somebody!!!!!!!

Reboot it normally. DO NOT reboot it to recovery.

[*]You should now be in your recovery, but your recovery is flashed into boot.

[*]Tap Advanced.

I couldn't ever getting working either. When I ran the app to install the required binaries, it said the procedure failed every time. When you finish that step is it saying the install passed?

Me to all the bianerys install but I don't know if they go to right spot I get same failed message and everything
[HTC One V] sbkjuggalo:
OK I'm sure somebody he has done/knows how this works please if u do share the knowledge please I can't believe that there isn't anyone that wants to be able to flash via device------
[HTC One V] jmz:
It's currently broken because recovery is too large. It needs to be rebuilt with a stripped kernel to make it smaller
[HTC One V] sbkjuggalo:
Thanks for the response (I did hit thanks) one question is this something I can do and if SSO how is done? Have some knowledge of Linux and a really smart wife:) or is this a more developer thing thx again.
[HTC One V] aaronrw:
I know you develop for a different device but would you consider doing this, dumlock and goo manager installs would be amazing! Thanks for all you do here....

yes i agree strongly with the person up stairs it would be very very nice i understtand u are very busy and we dont mean to bother u guys but it would be nice to have that freedom and yes i do knw that simon and a few are working on a s-off but that has some time till it is done
[HTC One V] aaronrw:
Was this done recently? :D remember reading this recovery received an update I thought.....

sentfromybrain
[HTC One V] Hideaki02:
I'm not entirely sure who is building these, maybe they are just being automatically built by goo.im, but you can find new builds of TWRP2(latest one is 2.3.1.0 as of right now) over here: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/primoc. I've flashed 2.3.1.0 and it is working perfectly on my VM PrimoC.

I figured many people may not even know about these, seeing as the OP has not been updated in a while. Can you shed some light on this, JMZ?
[HTC One V] jmz:
It is officially supported and that's why it keeps updating in goo app. I need to update op to reflect this
[HTC One V] aaronrw:
Is s - on the reason that goo won't install this recovery on it's own? I'm curious as I've tried several times :D

I did some testing and the One V will never be able to use dumlock. One V is more locked down that the EVO LTE, One S and One X.
[HTC One V] lilrob1213:
Has anyone tried TWRP 2.4? Is there any real need to update from TWRP v2.2.0? Also, if I do then will my stock backup from 2.2 be able to work with 2.4?
[HTC One V] -Duir-:
TWRP 2.4

A little searching goes a long way.
[HTC One V] andrewnelson23:
I just installed twrp 2.4, I like it a lot! What options should I choose for just a generic backup? Like when I used to backup in clockworkmod, it was good, but now it presents me with a bunch of options. What are the ones that clockworkmod backed up?

Second, am I able to restore from a backup made with clockworkmod?

Thanks.
[HTC One V] demoport:
Clockworkmod backed up everything so....backup everything.

Second, no, clockworkmod backups are not compatible with TWRP, vice versa.
[HTC One V] lilrob1213:
Yes I had found 2.4 before, but should I make the switch? or just stay with what I've got?

btw andrewnelson23, did you install it via the goo manager app? or just download the recovery and flash it manually? and what recovery did you have before you switched?
[HTC One V] andrewnelson23:
So I backup the recovery as well?

I tried it by goo manager but that didn't work. I just fast boot flashed it.
[HTC One V] lilrob1213:
I believe the backup settings for mine are just System, Data, and Boot... the other options aren't checked or "X"ed out and I usually enavle compression but Idk if it's worth it or not?

anything special you have to do before fastboot flashing the .img?

EDIT: I went into recovery and that's what was selected
[HTC One V] demoport:
There is no need to backup recovery, cache, or boot. Since our devices are S-ON, you can't restore boot or recovery anyway, and cache is built when you boot your device.

Nope. You don't have to do anything other than fastboot flash recovery when changing recoveries or updating it.
[HTC One V] lilrob1213:
Thanks for the reply so if I flash the new recovery will it wipe my data? or will it keep all my stuff in my rom intact? games and such
[HTC One V] sbkjuggalo:
Just a heads up on twrp web site they have 2.4.0 for us cdma I'm running a few things r changed but factory reset still produces errorwhen trying to wipe sd-ext

Sent from my primoc using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
[HTC One V] demoport:
Your data and rom will be fine. You're writing to the recovery partition, so your /system and /data have nothing to do with this process.
[HTC One V] lilrob1213:
Okay thanks! :)
[HTC One V] andrewnelson23:
I'd imagine that's because you don't have an sd-ext partition on your sdcard? If you had one, it would wipe the ext partition on your sdcard. Since you don't, it just prints that error and continues on. No big deal, really.
[HTC One V] Curiousn00b:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/primoc/

I believe you can get recent test from there too. I'm using one from there. I think it was 2.3.1.0 or something....Can't remember :P
[HTC One V] jaredl45600:
I had issues with new version. I had to downgrade back to the 2. Version
[HTC One V] lilrob1213:
what were your issues specifically? I flashed it and noticed theres a new wipe option for android secure... what's that about? do I need to use that ever?
[HTC One V] jaredl45600:
I flashed the new TWRP and had issues flashing zip files. I tried about 3 files and all three failed. So I backed out and flashed the old 2.2.2.0 ( I think) and same files worked. So I am sticking with the old one
[HTC One V] Curiousn00b:
That's odd. 2.4 is working 100% here. I flash 6-9 files whenever I flash a rom. No problem with it here. o_O
[HTC One V] sbkjuggalo:
I concur 2.4 works fine for me only problem is terminal wont rebbot like in past builds, and still no factory wipe without error

Sent from my One V using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
[HTC One V] riggerman0421:
The error with the factory wipe isn't an error. It is trying to wipe an ext partition on your SD card. If you don't have one, it gives that error because it can't find one.
[HTC One V] sbkjuggalo:
I know why it does that but I have one and it still doesn't wipe it and it causes a non fully wiped install so when u reboot ur new rom is littered with apps from last ROM.

Sent from my primoc using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
[HTC One V] rickyx32:
I'm still using 2.2 and keep going back to it, never had a problem with it. Am I even missing out on much with these newer versions?
[HTC One V] jmz:
Listen. The sd-ext is not an "error" you need to worry about. Sd-ext is used for data2sd. If you don't have that setup don't worry about that message. Iirc all official twrp releases has that partition wipe enabled. That's why you don't see it on my builds but you do see it on officials. So, if you have an issue with data wiping then wipe data and run the command "adb pull /tmp/recovery.log" while still in recovery
[HTC One V] sbkjuggalo:
THx for the response but as stated above i do have sdext and it still doesn't wipe it, i deal with that no big deal. Second in 4.2 my sdcard is so fu*ked off i sdcard, storage, sdext, i will post screen look and third u only have one build of twrp and that is a few releases ago but thank u for clarifying what i already k knew

Sent from my One V using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
[HTC One V] jmz:
It was more for the people that were saying its a real error and causing problems. 4.2 is largely weird with sdcard. As for it not actually wiping ext, do a wipe then adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwach414:
Does the Verizon version of the Galaxy S III have worse battery life than the other carriers' versions. So far I have had pretty poor battery life with my phone. I have had it since Friday the 6th. Since then I have gone through multiple charge and discharge cycles. I've been averaging about 8 - 10 hours of life, with about 2 to 2.5 hours of screen time. I use the phone for about an hour of browsing the web in the morning, on the train to work, then another hour on the way back. While I am at work I turn off the mobile data and WiFi. I basically only use it to check text messages. In that time It'll still drain about 5 to 10 percent per hour. I have already reset my phone to factory settings. It also seems to act normally up till about 70 percent, then it starts to drop really fast. I want to maybe get another battery from the store, but as the phone hasn't even been released yet I'm not sure what my luck would be. Has anyone else been having better results if not similar problems? Does this seem like an issue that could be solved by replacing the batter, or would a replacement new phone be needed to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwach414:
Replacement battery

It seems that Verizon cannot give out any replacements until the in store launch on Thursday at the earliest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] EM2_Rob:
AT&T seems to be pretty horrible. Have you tried CPU Sleeper by eugene373?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwach414:
I have not tried that, but I have tired standard things such as Juice Defender Ultimate and what not. The biggest thing to me is that even when I turn off mobile data and wifi, it still starts to drain rapidly after about 70 percent. I will be at about 70 percent at 4:00 pm and by 7:00 i'll be at 10 percent with 30 min usage during that time frame, with only on LTE during that 30 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jselden:
I have had 4G on all the time, and unplug it at 6am and it has lasted me quite easily until 10-11pm (down to about 10%). I have all data sync on, send approx 100 text a day, play a few games daily, read forums, Google reader, stream music and tethering as well.

I would contact Verizon support. It may be just as simple as a new battery. As of right now I still have 41% left and that will last me the night.

edit: I am also not using any battery saving apps like juice defender or turn off mobile networks either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwach414:
Ya, I did and they said I could come in and get a new battery tomorrow, so we will see how much that helps. I just hope I don't have to get a replacement phone because more or less likely the new one will be refurbished. Plus I hate wasting screen covers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jselden:
If it is under 30 days they will usually replace with a new phone. That has been in my experience. this happened with my Fascinate when I first got it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwach414:
Is it worth trying to just get a new battery first. Or should I just go straight for the phone replacement?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] leewongfei:
Coming from the rezound, 2-2.5 hours is amazing battery life!

Honestly, it may just be the battery. Try that first, and if it still fails, then return the device. Just remember that Verizon only does 1 free battery during the warranty period.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
you guys need to debloat...the problem is the 100 apps that verizon preinstalled has many backgorund services running.

After debloating I went 27hrs w/ 3hrs screen on, 2hrs talk time, and still had 17% percent battery left...like a BOSS!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dLo GSR:
i'm amazed at verizon's battery life. i have an AT&T one and after 6 hours of use and 2 hrs screen time, mine was at 53%. my girlfriends was at 53% with 13 hours of use and 1 hrs 14 min screen time. i cant figure out why.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwach414:
My room mate has one from AT&T and he can get about 20 hours till 20 percent, with 4 hours of screen time. Not to mention making phone calls and what ever else he does on it during the day. My battery life seems normal in the morning. The only reason I want to get it replaced is that at about 70 percent it'll start dropping rapidly even if I don't touch it during that time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] viskey:
take a min and go through all the settings in the phone that you think might effect battery life and if you don't use it that often, shut it off. also, disable the apps you don't want/use in application manager. i have about 24 apps frozen, smart stay off, motion off, brightness at 1/3, email sync set to manual, location services off, facebook sync and notifications off, bluetooth off, wifi off, menu/back lights off, heptic feedback off. i can't remember what else but yesterday i unplugged it at 430am with normal use throughout the day (numerous email, facebook, play store use, texting, hr worth of phone call) and this morning at 6am i was at 9% battery left (this was in 4G). Id say that is pretty good! i am very pleased with the battery life with this phone! everyones battery life is going to be different with all the combinations of settings that can be different.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwach414:
Which apps, did you freeze? Also I just got the new battery so I'll give it a day or so and see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NightxFall:
Is this normal? My screen on time is about 1 hr and 20 min... Not sure if this is good or bad. Yesterday I only got about 6 hrs with around 2 hrs of screen on time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwach414:
I am not rooted either as of now, I am kind of waiting to see if they find a bootloader work around. I disabled most of those apps, plus I picked up a new battery around mid day. The only other thing I have noticed is that the phone oddly seems to charge better while on then off, where as my DINC was the complete opposite.
