[HTC Rezound] carm01:
Yea, it happens to me to, usually when i first set up a ROM, people have stated that after a few reboots, and constantly turning it off, it eventually " gets the point " and sticks after several days. quite a nagging thing if you ask me.

Make sure you set your settings in the wifi " advanced " under:

" Keep wifi on during sleep " to NEVER.

This of course raises another question. of " how to disable sleep in the ICS ROMS. I cant find this setting anywhere. It looks like it was completely stripped out. The only thing close that i have in the .10 leek is under quick settings is power save mode.
[HTC Rezound] beanboy07:
Thanks, I knew I wasn't the only one lol ! Like I said my WiFi settings are set to and always have been in the past to never for sleep and all that. I have never got it to as you said "get the point" ever... I was just curious is if anyone knew as to why and a possible fix for it, that's all. It's not the biggest of issues as that's about the only one besides the ASOP and or ICS lock screens (including widget locker) making the clock appear on the status bar when unlocking...That's more nagging IMO.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rakeshchn:
I have not seen this happen before that an app using the display takes more juice than the display itself. In my case the display was on for 54 mins and Xda app was used for 40 mins. How is it possible that xda app itself is draining more battery than the screen?

Sent from my SGH-T999
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jasvncnt1:
I'm not 100% sure but I thought I read that the app drains battery because of the ads. If you use the paid version it doesn't. Can't remember where I read that. Are you using the ad supported version?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] frankiedizzle87:
I'm coming from a galaxy nexus and this is different usually the screen would be the highest in battery usage by far and everything else would follow suite not the case
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rakeshchn:
I am using the ad supported version. I read that in one of the comments in play store that ads are draining the battry. Immediately rooted the phone (yes, I was waiting for a good reason to root) and installed Adaware. Lets see how it goes. Thanks for your reply!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mobilehavoc:
I see you're using Good (notification) - does it still work after you rooted? Thought it had a root check built in.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] flonker:
Ever since I switched to this phone the xda app becomes horribly choppy and slow and will eventually crash after some use. I've cleared cache and data, but haven't uninstalled and reinstalled yet. I've just been exiting and manually fc'ing every time it begins to get slow.

Have those that are getting high usage statistics experiencing this too?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] neotoky:
It happens to me too. It force closes on me once in a while when I'm on the app for an extended period of time. Using the ad supported. If the ads are indeed draining the battery faster, I might end up getting xda premium.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] peanut1596:
Agreed
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] JediNinjafication:
i had the fc issue for a while but just had to clear cache. It hasn't happened for quite a while. I have ad version and have NEVER seen it use power like that! At most 3%

Something has to be wrong here, haven't seen cell stanby that high either.

Android is upgrading...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] EndlessDissent:
I'm using XDA Premium, and I'm definitely getting the choppy scrolling, too. The app becomes almost unusable. It's ridiculous, because my Evo 4G ran the app like a champ. No battery drain, but the scrolling lag is getting on my nerves.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rakeshchn:
Yes I was using Good for almost a year on Vibrant which was rooted and it worked well. It seems working on Galaxy S3 too after root. Have to see tomorrow if sending and receiving emails work. Its corporate email, so today being Sunday not much work email traffic.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rakeshchn:
Yeah I too have noticed that on the ad supported version. In fact XDA is the only app that lags occassionally on this phone. I hoped may be adblock will resolve it, but since you are having premium I guess not.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rakeshchn:
Cell standby is high cause it was overnight and I was sleeping. So thats expected. But its really abnormal that 40 mins of XDA app has drained more power than 54 mins of screen on time!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] flonker:
I'm not sure if this is related or not, but I have noticed what I believe to be high app caches for the xda app. Just checked and it is 56mb. That's a bit excessive, isn't it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] JediNinjafication:
Mine gets high occasionally and i clear cache. Am a gnex. Wonder if cache is also downloads from threads? I also noticed apps don't really close out when exit. Will be same exact spot as left them. Maybe that's the high cache..?

Android is upgrading...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ExodusC:
Interesting thread, I've never seen that before, it certainly is acting rogue.

I'm using Tapatalk, the paid app that the xda app is built from, and I have no issues with it consuming battery, nor has it given me any kind of choppy scrolling. Tapatalk, being paid, contains no ads, so that does make me think the ads are at least to blame for the high battery usage.

I would contact an administrator from xda and ask them about it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] JediNinjafication:
I don't get choppy or have high battery usage, but occasionally get force close but i think i may have just figured that issue out. I use the free one, not taptalk but just had a fc and haven't had one in while but I wanted to share an app to another thread so hit home key, went to play store, found app, did share button but since xda doesn't show up in share list I'll pick another app just to open it then cut the link and THEN use my recent apps key to paste. I think its either from not closing out all the way and having another one open while accessing it from recents. Just a thought, at least from my end and how I use different settings to open stuff.

Android is upgrading...

EDIT: Another possible fc reason. whenever I get a notification in status bar and I attempt to open it there it goes to the app but never opens the thread or anything so well click my icon on home screen then force closes.

Introduction

Welcome to the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Help Thread. The purpose of this thread is to gather all relevant information into one area, avoiding clutter of the Q&A section.

This thread was started by [MENTION=3311420]azzledazzle[/MENTION], and kept alive by the good grace of [MENTION=4114030]ThaiDai[/MENTION]. It has now been reworked to reflect the current status of the device, with a FAQ completely redone from scratch.

I did add noob friendly again to the title, with the following statement in consideration:

Asking questions without first reading the this post and the FAQ will get you shunned and/or ignored.

Before posting for assistance, you are asked to first read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) below, and do Search of the forum using the XDA search feature. As far as I am concerned, there are no stupid questions. However, with this statement in mind, XDA is a development community that requires you attempt to search and find your answer before posting.

NO BEST ROM OR KERNEL QUESTIONS IN THIS THREAD.

WARNING:

The Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 can be hardware bricked by various things you might do, because most devices have a faulty chip (called eMMC) inside. This leads to the possibility to kill your device with some commands used in the recovery mechanisms. As such, it is imperative that you act with the utmost care before flashing any custom ROMs or attempting to obtain Root Access.

To ensure you do not destroy your expensive device, please follow the warnings in the sticky threads, read the introductions of each Custom ROM, and follow these general guidelines:

Never do a factory reset on stock ICS ROM (4.0.4) (Click here for more information).

Never use the cwm.zip, i.e., called temporary recovery which still is shared on some websites (Click here for more information).

Always use safe kernels for recovery activities (Click here for more information).

[FAQ] Help Thread Revived - [Updated 02nd Feb 2013] ]

FAQ: SIM Unlocking and Device Tools

Q: Is there an all-in-one thread with tools for our device?

Yes and no. There is a great toolbox thread Found Here, but many parts of it are outdated.

Q: I installed custom ROM firmware, and now I have a "Yellow Triangle". Can I remove it?

A: Yes. There are two options: (1) use Triangle Away by [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] (free on XDA) if you are able to boot into a ROM; or (2) Use the USB Jig Method (LINK)

Q: My device is SIM Locked, or became locked after flashing a new ROM firmware.

A: Download Galaxy S Unlock from the Play Store

Q: What is my EFS and should I back it up?

A: The EFS stores your IMEI and other information. It is crucial to back it up, as it is extremely difficult to recover if lost during a custom ROM flash. Backup your EFS (using kTool)

Where can I find ROM reviews for Galaxy note, and I just got criskelo v9 will it get OTA update, if yes, will it affect the root, where can I find popup play apk that is note compatible. Thank you for the wonderful thread:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
1. Reviews will be inside the ROMs thread, some ROMs have video reviews in the OP, so that would be a good place to check, see what the users have to say.

2. What do you mean by OTA update ? Do you mean official Samsung OTA, Or has Criskelo tweaked the OTA to update his ROM versions? Anyway, You shouldnt use stock OTA's on Custom ROMs, If Criskelo has tweaked the OTA to update his ROMs then it should work, Thats something only he will know.

3. Stock OTA's *can* remove root, Just simply re-root if that is the case (tip: SuperUser has an OTA survival mode - Experimental)

4. Pop up play app - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1686165&highlight=pop+up+play

Is there any way to use ODIN with a MacBook?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
It *Can* be done, But it has mixed reviews, Theres a lot of risk involved and ODIN is not official for Mac, Only Modified.

For mac users, Heimdall seems to be the safest way. So i would suggest to learn and use that (or get a windows PC :p) to avoid the risk of bricking your Note

regarding OTA

Actually when I installed criskelo ROM v9 the initial set up wanted me to opt for OTA update. I was surprised for this didn't happen for v7 , v8 so i wanted to know whats the fuss. Some at the criskelo development thread made it crystal clear that stock ROM will not get OTA update.

Thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaukassus:
This question has probably been asked a thousand times in this section, but it would be good to have 1 Correct answer on this.

Since the Note has the eMMC Brick Bug on the Stock ICS kernel, how does one Successfully flash a Custom ROM using CWM without a chance of Superbricking the device?

And also some clarification an why you should flash Abyss 4.2 lernel before performing a full wipe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
To flash a Custom ROM (and avoid BrickBug) you must first flash a safe kernel, You can do this either in CWM or ODIN, People recommend Abyss kernel because it is / was popular and known to be safe, However most kernels now are safe, But make sure you check before hand.

I always use speedmod or any Kernel derived from Speedmod.

If you have CWM already, Download a Safe Kernel (CWM Version) place it on your SD card and reboot to CWM Recovery and install it.

If you prefer ODIN, Download the Kernel (ODIN Version) Open up ODIN, Find the Kernel in PDA section, Connect phone in Download Mode and hit start.

You can also use Mobile ODIN too.

Hope this helps

Inspire to Note noob

Ok...I used to switch roms on a daily basis on the Inspire/Desire platform. Now I've had my Note GT-N7000 for months now and I've REALLY been itching to get the latest ICS since I'm still on stock 2.3.6. My CSC is KK2 (TPA) from 1saleaday.com. I live in the US...not Panama...so I'm thinking that there's a fat chance of me getting the ICS update OTA. Is that a fair assumption? If not...I can possibly wait for another week or so. I've been checking Kies on a daily basis...no update for me. Is there a noob friendly guide that can show me step by step how to get the latest stock ICS by rooting? I've read Dr. Ketan's post...kinda confusing. I don't want to lay a brick. Is there a way I can install the stock Germany rom and change my CSC to Germany or something and be able to receive the update on Kies to make sure I don't foul it up? I'm pretty afraid that I'm going to forget...and accidentally restore to factory settings or something when JB comes out and have a brick.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
It's possible to use the German version, since they have android 4.0.4 already, you may need to flash a different radio too, It depends if you want to stay stock or not.

If you download the required odin firmware along with odin itself, then place the file in PDA section, if the firmware comes in 3 files then add them to their respective sections, such as phone, pda, csc.

You may be able to get csc from a firmware for your region and replace the German one with it.

Then put phone in download mode, connect to pc and hit start.

I'd also advise you to flash a safe kernel straight after the firmware to make full wipes safe.

If you flash speedmod kernel you will be rooted with Cwm and safe from brick bug, then the choice is yours whether to stay stock or move onto something custom

Sorry for the long post :p

Hello there, hope you are having a nice day :P

hope this is not a wrong place to ask..

i have got two questions.

1)I'm actually on stock ICS 4.0.4 rooted and im planning to venture into custom ROM world to be precise the CM9 ones, please guide or point me through.

(Why CM9 you may ask it is related with Question 2.)

2)I'm having idea of connecting a USB Webcam into my note, this feature will be very very useful in my work. Please guide me on this..

( i have done a lot of googling, the nearest i can get was this https://bitbucket.org/neuralassembly/simplewebcam/overview, being a super noob myself im actually lost on this. But im not giving up.

Thank you in Advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
1, To flash a CM9 Based ROM you will need to revert back to GB - So grab a stock GB firmware (links on FAQ section, 2nd post) Flash it via Odin, then flash a kernel (abyss / Speedmod) do full wipe, then flash the CM9 ROM in recovery.

2. Im not sure how that would work, I did recall someone else trying to do this (maybe it was you?) as the webcam would require some sort of power supply and i dont think the phone is capable of that. Anyway, Cant you just use the FFC instead ? I know its not perfect but its better than carrying an already big phone around with a big webcam attached to it lol. (people will think your a Martian from another planet)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coxeroni42:
I hope I may post my question concerning bricked or not here. If not, please be nice to me ;)

I was on ICS LQ2, Goatrip Custom ROM with Goku Kernel. Yesterday I tried to flash GB before flashing a different custom ROM (didn't come that far).

I tried to flash the KK9 Stock GB ROM from the Stock Thread here (one file .tar.md5, Repartition _un_ticked). Flash stopped at several percent flashing factoryfs and nothing happend anymore. I pulled battery and tried again, no success. Now battery ran out and the Note is not charging as the only thing it say is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue...". I cannot enter recovery, nor download modus as battery is low (download should work with charged battery). I am buying an external charging station later the day to revive the battery.

Is there a chance I bricked the device or is it just a bad flash (why?) which can be solved with a new flash? What do you say? I thought I cannot brick it with Odin, just by doing a factory reset in recovery with an unsafe kernel?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Your welcome to ask any question you like here :) This is why i created it.

You can brick with ODIN, you run the risk of damage by making any modifications, Usually getting stuck on Factoryfs is not a good sign - but we cannot confirm you have a brick until your battery is charged.

When you get the battery, report back and let me know if you can get into Download mode, If you can, We can fix this :)

You shouldnt have encountered any issues with a GB firmware, Did you have the Firmware in the correct section of ODIN ? along with NO pit, NO repartition ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coxeroni42:
Well I should have put it into the right section in Odin, as it was not my first time I used Odin and normally I check at least twice that everything is alright. I am absolute sure about NO pit and NO repartition. BTW: this goatrip custom ROM used a pit as I flashed it previously. Does this maybe cause the trouble?

I already downloaded a pre-rooted GB from here, three parts this time and I will give it a try this evening. My hopes for download mode are good, as pressing Vol-Down resultings in the "can't download, bat low" message, but I will see later.

Thanks for your help, I hope I will get it running again.
