[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starmug:
Hi all,

This is the first time for me to visit this great forum. I have read some of the threads here but I get some questions for rooting and choosing kernel.

Actually I would like to root my friend's galaxy note for him.

Here is the information about his device:

Baseband version: N7000XXLA4

Kernel version: N7000ZSLA2

I really want to help him to make his device works better but I am so worried that I will make his phone bricked...

would you please give me some advice and suggestions?

1) Can you suggest me a method for rooting the device? The major concern is there would be any yellow triangles and the binary counter will not be affected.

2) Do I need to upgrade the phone to ICS 4.0.3 (official rom) first to carry out the process in an easier approach? I have read "***WARNING! PLEASE READ!! ICS Kernels and Recovery - HARDBRICK WARNING" but I don't really understand that is keep using gingerbread more safer?

3) Which method should I use so I can change back to official rom more easily?

4) I would like to eliminate some bad things about the official rom. First, I would like to improve the camera (there is some red/pink color when I take a white picture). Second, I would like to eliminate the shutter sound and the focus sound for the camera. Is it possible to improve these for choosing a suitable rom? Any suggestion for me please?

5) I would like to improve the sensitivity of the screen and also add the beats audio apps for the phone. Is it easy to do so after rooting the device?

Thank you very much.

OK so I have had it with this issue. I work at a college and they have eap security. The phone pairs just fine with my username and password. I get wifi. But left unattended for like 2 hours, or if you plug in power to the phone it will sit I this limbo mode. I.have to turn off wifi the turn.it back.on.

Now aat home I have a basic netgear router with wpa 2 encryption. I have connected using a password. And WPS pushbutton.connect method. This.problem stillllll exisits!!! The phones wifi icon is blue and I have no connection. Sometimes....SOMETIMES it says disconnected under the settings.

I have 2 friends with this phone, totally stock, and they have the issues.

My phone is 2.3.6 stock. With preserved root. When I did the OTA. Back.when I was on 2.3.5.

I have googled "Motorola 2.3.6 wifi issues" and there is alot of flack regarding this.

I'm looking for.some help.....with a 200mb bullsh!t plan from att. I rely on my wifi aloootttt.

I can provide any kind of information about my phone to fix this or at least find this problems cause.

Sorry about my grammar I'm on my phone posting in rage mode!! Hahaha

Thanks for any feedback.

[Motorola Atrix 2] prasannapmv:
Wifi issues are common with this phone. I even fried my brain for hours to find out the root cause but no luck.

Only thing you can do to be always connected is configure ip settings manually go to settings/wireless and network/Wifi settings/ then hit the below capacitive menu button and hit advanced and under Ip settings click on "Use static Ip"and configure the below four things Ip, gateway, netmask, Dns.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kousik:
Can you please try the following:

Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Wifi Settings

Press the menu button and choose Advanced

Change the Wifi sleep policy to "Never" ... but YMMV.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Emoslayer8:
My phones has always been under the never sleep policy. And sometimes it still shuts wifi off. Like the icon will be gone.

Ill also setup the static IP manually.

I'm no phone noob. I get paid to maintain a campus of computers, basically the networking / it guy/ programmer/ circuit analysis. I work for two departments. Annnyway this is why it bugs me so much. Is it a hardware issue?

I have had the HD2 and never had this issue and I'm a flash-a-holic. I donno. I'm just grasping for a fix this is soooooo annoying.

[Motorola Atrix 2] jakzel:
My school uses an 802.1x profile. With wi-fi sleep policy set to never, and groove-IP set to keep the wi-fi awake, I don't have issues.

Usually.

Sometimes the connection will time-out but will stay on wi-fi so I have to toggle it.

I also use wi-fi analyzer to sort of manage/connect to networks and it seems to speed up how fast the phone connects by a considerable amount.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 41rw4lk:
I remember awhile back someone else had wifi problems and I offered this suggestion to try and fix it. It's not a guarantee, but it's worth a shot if nothing else has worked. Hopefully it does the trick.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckinninger:
The GS3 Verizon is a CDMA device. Supposedly it has GSM compatible radios too. It's supposed to be able to work on GSM networks after a software update coming soon. Does this thing have a sim card slot? I don't see how it would work on GSM networks without it. Does anyone know how this works?

I'm hoping to use it on Verizon in USA, but on Telcel while in Mexico BUT with my Telcel sim. I realize my hopes are slim but if there's a sim card slot maybe it's possible???

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] seoulstyle:
It has a SIM card slot for the LTE. Unsure about compatibility though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckinninger:
Actually, I have an old Verizon Motorola Z6c World Phone here that I bought in 2008. It has a Verizon sim card inside.

Z6c Specs say:

2G Network	GSM 900 / 1800

3G Network	CDMA 1xEVDO (800 / 1900 MHz)

Anyway, there's no LTE involved on the Z6c back then. SO apparently the GS3 will need the sim on non CDMA networks. I just wonder if the software experts here can make it possible to use the sim only at certain times and at the same time unlock the phone.

A lot to ask but will be a huge feature if done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] seoulstyle:
I said earlier that I wasn't sure about compatibility, but I'm starting to believe that this is not possible, as the Verizon version lacks the proper GSM/HSPA+ radios. There's a model comparison chart that you can expand on the Wikipedia page. Software probably won't be able to pull the miracle you're asking for. Sorry :(

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jasondhsd:
Maybe this will help? http://androidcommunity.com/verizon-may-enable-global-roaming-on-lte-phones-soon-20120518/ from what I gather LTE is based off of GSM and its just a matter of unlocking the GSM bands on the phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbeelzebub:
The SCH-i535 did recieve GSM certification for bands 850 and 1900. No HSPA+ though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckinninger:
Yeah, I don't think the current specs out on the GS3 are totally complete. If the phone is admittedly needing a software update to allow the GSM roaming then they can't just put those bands in the specs with no caveats.
[Nexus 7 General] Juicy92:
I have never had a 7" tablet before, this is why I bring up this thread. Currently, my tablet is used mostly for things like reddit or for taking it around the house when my phone screen i just too small. I bring the tablet to browse the web, watch youtube vids occasionally or bring up my iHeartRadio app in the morning because it has a larger speaker. But another thing I use it for is school. See, I often try to find my books online in ebook form as it is cheaper and more convienent, and sometimes even free lol. I have used my HP touchpad for this previously, for those unfamiliar, it has a 9.7" screen, and it does the job well.

I figure the 7" screen would be fine for webbrowsing as I have used them at the verizon store and have a nice form factor and are decently easy to read from, but I wonder if anyone has any experience reading large page pdf files or textbooks with images on the pages. I want to know if this is easy to read or if it is impractical to use the nexus 7 as a textbook reader. If anyone would be so kind as to share you experiences with me or even post up a picture of your Nexus 7 with an ebook using adobe or something, that would be great.

The Touchpad is great for what it is. It is dual booted with the latest cm9 and I really have no complaints. It has its issues, like the camera and mic not working, but otherwise it is solid. The n7 seems to have a better processor, the same ram, and a better screen, as well as more gpus I am sure, but the screen is much smaller. I just worry that 7" is not all that much larger than my sgs3's 4.8" and I won't be able to read texts off of it without constantly pinch zooming and rearranging the screen.
[Nexus 7 General] pham818:
yes, 10 char
[Nexus 7 General] lovenokia:
well i had an hp touchpad too, but i say for you to go for the nexus, it will be a much better buy and will have much longer support than the hp touchpad.
[Nexus 7 General] slack04:
If you're happy with a touchpad, you're easily impressed. Get a nexus. Hint: note the difference between "resolution" and "screen size."
[Nexus 7 General] movieaddict:
for a second there i didnt think u were being serious with that question? lol yes get a nexus 7!
[Nexus 7 General] qpqpqp:
I'd say goto the store and check it out once its released. You have to take into consideration that none of these people actually have the Nexus 7 yet. Save some money on shipping cost and get better return.
[Nexus 7 General] DangKid:
I've had the Kindle Fire, HTC Flyer, BB Playbook, HP Touchpad, iPad, and a Transformer. I also use my tablets mainly for web browsing, Reddit, and PDF textbooks. I'm a student so having ebooks is a huge advantage. Here are my thoughts on the screen size differences.

Pdf reading is easier on the 10" screen. No zooming around is needed.

The 7" has a better form factor, meaning you'll be more inclined to pull out your tablet from your bag since its less of a hassle. It is also easier to hold in your hands (can hold 1 handed plus it will be lighter).

I think you would enjoy the Nexus 7 as the Touchpad is very heavy/bulky compared to any of my other tablets. I enjoyed using my Kindle Fire out of all of the tablets besides the Transformer. The transformer was nicer to use for school since I was able to switch between apps quickly since it had ICS compared to CM7 on the KF.

Also, reading pdfs on the 7" screen will trump your S3's 4.8" screen. My Infuse 4.5" has become a nuisance to read pdfs ever since I bought my first tablet (KF).
[Nexus 7 General] mhbr12742:
Speak for yourself, i have had the nexus 7 since Friday. i can say reading pdf files has been fine and the screen is much bigge than my one X

the applications are awesome. example

Yesterday i was in the pub. decided to go to Calais, used my Nexus tethered to my one x and ordered tunnel tickets there and then, the chrome browser is amazing. I then used offline google maps to get home with the awesom new voice and then played max payne. finally watched all of transformer film, all on one charge.

Fantastic device
[Nexus 7 General] jaju123:
I went from a touchpad to a nexus 7 and also have a gs3. Believe me when I say its a huge upgrade in terms of performance and screen touch response is incredible. The size is much more manageable for typing and for book reading etc. I'd take it over the touchpad any day of the week. Also, I'm using the nexus much more than my gs3 when both are next to me, for checking twitter and Facebook and some quick browsing. Dear I say its actually faster than my s3 as sell (quad core variant).
[Nexus 7 General] Troute:
I've got a TP and have a Nexus7 on order so obviously I'd say yes to the OPs question.

All formats have their advantages and disadvantages, I do a LOT of reading on my TP and there's no denying it gets heavy but the larger screen does make a difference for web browsing. Since I got the TP my old Streak 5 doesn't leave the house and with the N7 coming halfway between the two I'm hoping it's speed will make up for the drop in screen size and of course since it will have a 'proper' version of Android on it it

will

be a smoother less buggy experience.

The TP will probably go back to pure WebOS if the Open WebOS guys can make headway and it will sit on it's touchstone full time, now there's a good idea for Googles' next Tablet, inductive charging!
[Nexus 7 General] ace9988:
To give you a quick reply.....It's what i did =) because this device will generate alot more developer interest than the touchpad means much better quality ROMs too (nothing to do with the devs at the touchpad forum, they did the best with what they had) and they only had 225mb to play with whereas if they increased the partition sizes they could've done alot more with a pretty much open android device. But so far they haven't which is why im here and not there

the downfalls of the touchpad alone....i found the 10" screen size too big for me....plus holding it with one hand made it a chore, otherwise was a good device
[Nexus 7 General] big samm:
I currently have a ipad 3G, ipad 4G , and a blackberry playbook should i go with the nexus 7? Hell freaking yeah!! I love the 7inch form factor and with jelly bean 4core for 200$ that's a steal!!!

[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
I think if I were studying textbooks, I'd prefer a 10" screen. Mostly because textbooks have diagrams, charts, etc... and it'd be a pain in the ass to constantly have to enlarge things on a 7" screen. There's a huge difference between ereading a novel and studying a textbook.
[Nexus 7 General] sabre31:
Keep the touchpad.
[Nexus 7 General] Juicy92:
I guess the answer seems to be to wait until I can play with it in stores

[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
Yea wait and check it out if you can, the touchpad is deceptively great, especially once youve overclocked it to 1.7 and got it dual booting CM9,i still love it. I have the Nexus 7 i picked up friday at gamestop, i will snap a picture for you tomorrow, send me a direct email if i forget, i have to say im sure .pdfs are better on the touchpad, at least the screen size part of the argument, theres the obvious resolution side which the nexus 7 wins. Its all up to preference i guess
[Nexus 7 General] thegadgetrulez:
Yeah, I have a bunch of tablets... I sold them all.. 2 16gb Touchpads both in new condition in the boxes and under warranty, I was able to get $150 each (Bought at firesale, and the shop sells them at $249!), and the old gtab brought an astounding $200. I still kept the ipad2/iphone4/itouches(2,4). The development community for android devices is incredible, having access to the amazon store (free app of the day), and google play is awesome! Plus Quad core, and 12 core GPU is incredible. The hacking of this device is going to be out of this world with its ability. Probably could do folding at home on this dude! Anyway, I will let you know when I get the nexus 7 in, should be any day. :)
[Nexus 7 General] the noan:
Its all about what you want. I had a 32 gb touchpad running aokp and absolutely loved it. It was fantastic for the price I paid(120 after tax at best buy after some reward zone coupons and the fire sale). I used that thing non stop, then I got my girlfriend a kindle fire. I hated the amazon skin on top of android, but I fell in love with the size. It fit perfectly in my hand. Almost got one of those but then I read about the rumored nexus tablet. Never thought twice about the fire after that. Sold some games and got 110 for my touchpad that had the casing busted by the speaker and went to GameStop. No regrets. Good luck with your decision, honestly you can't go wrong either way if it is what you want

[Nexus 7 General] JOLiu:
I'm in the same boat as some of you. I've got a 32GB Touchpad and a 16GB HTC Flyer. I purchased the Flyer to see how I'd like the 7" form factor v. the 10". My impression is that the 10" is a better browsing experience due to the larger screen size (particularly for web browsing, but also for ebook reading), but the 7" is adequate for most of my other uses, particularly as an ebook reader. Also, I like the 7" size for thumb-typing emails.

The big negatives for the Touchpad are the weight and battery life. Even on the latest CM9 nightly build, I'm finding that I need to charge the Touchpad far more often than the Flyer. Based on some of the threads on here, the N7's battery life appears to be quite good.

Since I got the TP at the firesale for cheap, I may just keep the TP at home and sell the Flyer once my N7 comes in (whenever that might be).

[Nexus 7 General] player911:
I gave up my 10" Transformer in exchange for the Nexus 7. I wanted the Tegra 3 and found I liked the 7" Galaxy Tab my son had for thumb typing and toting around.

The N7 fit perfectly.

I would suggest waiting for the new model. I suspect it will have a new Snapdragon and be 1080p like its 10" brother.

The N7 is great now but I'd hate to buy it and have it instantly outdated in a month.
