GTn7000 on 2.3.6 no updates still

GTn7000 on 2.3.6 no updates still everytime i push update it says no updates available.

can you please help
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
establish updatability nikesh, check your phones csc, plenty info by search available, then check if for that csc is an update, that or follow dr Ketans signature for post on how to update through pc odin.

Or check Kies. The update might only be available through there :)

Make a backup of efs first thought before messing with other roms:)

Does it work with stock rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Sebayxxl16:
I'M NOT SURE IF IT WILL WORK WITH STOCK

If Android freezes at boot screen:

1. Do a fresh install of stock rom via odin

2. install latest recovery.

most important procedure

3. switch off then press only home button and power button

1. wipe data/factory reset.[imp]

2. wipe cache partition.[imp]

3. Go to mounts and storage and format these :

a. system

b. data

c. cache

d. sdext

4 go to advanced and then in there format :

a. Dalvik cache

b. Battery stats [not imp.]

4. Install apocalypse latest final version.

5. install layout properly as suggest in developer post. after installing layout reboot 2 times.

6. mount system and install AMARULLZ DATA TO SD-EXTat this point after i apply the script the screen gets frozen in the android boot screen and i cant even see the bootanimation

7. give 2 reboots after installing AMARULLZ DATA TO SD-EXT.

8. check ur internal memory it will be according to ur partition size.

9.

[if error] if u find internal memory still same then u must have not mounted system go to recovery again and mount system and then flash script again.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mohammedtheking7:
Link to all the files?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] enskje:
It wont work with stock, stock dont have init.d and stock recovery isnt mounting system. Just try Link2sd. Its great app.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
+1 link2sd will work for sure

Hi! Is there any mod for Google earth to fake dual core cpus to make the 3d city available? Due the single-core restriction user without dual core can't see the 3d buildings on e.g. hd2. Any idea? Thanks!

Ad
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tshot:
No, because most devices have Dual Core processor. So, I doubt that people have came up with a hack for that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad2003:
:rolleyes: many people like me are using e.g. hd2 with newest custom roms on single core machines...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waddle:

[LG Optimus 2x] PentagonVS:
I have installed the stock s version and like this rom a lot but there are 2 features i would like to remove.

1. Startup/shutdown sound

2. Lg contacts. I only want to use google contacts

How can i remove these?

I am sure this had been asked before but I could not find anything when searching.

Thank you for your help.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
1) is easy. Use a root explorer and rename/delete the files /system/media/audio/poweron/poweron.mp3 and /system/media/audio/poweroff/poweroff.mp3.

2) Not sure exactly what you mean. If you want to force the phone to only use google contacts or if you want to delete the contact program alltogether (which means you must install another contact manager yourself.) Please explain what you're trying to achieve.
[LG Optimus 2x] PentagonVS:
Thank you for the first answer.

Regarding the second one. I want to only use google contacts. Now by default if i create a new contact it is stored as local lg storage and i need to change it to my google account manually. I like the contacts app itself just not the lg integration in it.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Then 2) is just as easy, you need to freeze/uninstall "LG PC Suite".
[LG Optimus 2x] PentagonVS:
Double thanks. That worked perfectly!
[HTC One X] Pietje_1985:
Hello guys,

Can somebody help me with something. In the past I used an old Ericssson phone which gave me an indication of a connected network/operator signal through a blinking LED on top of the phone.

At the moment i'm using a HTC One X and it only lights up whenever you receive a text message/mail/etc..

Does anybody knows if there is an app which will tell me via the blinking LED on the front that I have a network/operator signal connection??

Thanks in advance!

:laugh:
[HTC One X] AirJonn:
You can try Lightflow but might need root..

Worked fantastic on my Nexus but gave me issues on the One X..seemed to work fine for a while and than got issues until i restarted the app and I ended up uninstalling...think i used the direct/alternative mode in the app.

Anyways you might have more luck or maybe its updated or something, havent tried it for a while..there's a free version and Im sure it can blink if there is NO reception, not sure if it can do what you're asking tho.
[HTC One X] Pietje_1985:
Thnx for your answer AirJonn! I will try that, hope it works....maybe somebody else who has another idea?

Got a stupid question I could not find the answer too, I'm S-ON, so say I am running a rom that supports updates via rom manager, will it update correctly, and lastly what's a good daily driver preferably ICS room that one could recommend for a beginner like me.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
For. S-on users to flash a ROM they must first fastboot flash the boot.img so no ROM manager won't do what your wanting it to do. Also for ICS id say CM9 alpha 5 is the most stable *I have used.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kls629:
Stock email app on my wife's S3 has the notification "Email Sent".

But this is not true, as the Sent Folder shows nothing and no email is going through. (Live.com account)

Is there a fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xpanmanx:
In the Power Saving widget, what does the Sync button do?

The reason I'm asking: I've turned off Sync and rebooted, but my Exchange accounts continue to pull mail.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
I think that only has to do with syncing with Google servers. Exchange is Microsoft and will need to be disabled via the email apk of you want to turn off auto sync.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Exchange accounts have the sync set to a timer regardless of sync enabled or not, that's why it continues pushing notifications.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xpanmanx:
I think that calendar and contacts are not syncing with "sync" turned off, even though email messages are being received.

So I'm gathering this weird picture of Exchange Activesync on the Android platform, in which I can use the Email app to control how often messages are synced, but I have to use "Accounts and Sync" to sync calendar, tasks and contacts....AND...there's no way to schedule those sync operations. I guess they're set to 24/7 pull or something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
In looking at technet, and because Android uses a global setting for push or set notifications (trying to find it in google code), there is an option for the exchange administrator to change your refresh policy..

In the following link, you'll find Exchange Information on 2010 Push. Look at the top left corner of the page, and you'll find more specific information. (I'm assuming that your connecting to 2010)

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997252.aspx

Still looking for the Android side and seeing if there's an easier fix. This will be nice to know since we're going to BYOD at work..

:edit #2: Looking at the Android side; All I'm seeing is a global setting on Email sync schedule. Even going through the fone's calendar sync options, it'll take you right back to the Global setting. :/ Saw some posts talking about Juice Defender being an option for now but it looks like it's really managed by the refresh policy on the Exchange side..

This is what I'm searching for in 'Droid.. "...A short time-out value causes the device to initiate a new HTTPS request more frequently. This can shorten battery life on the device..."

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xpanmanx:
That, sir, was some DAMN useful information. Thank you :)

As it turns out, I'm the Exchange Admin for both of the Exchange organizations to which I keep my phone connected.

I hopped on the firewall of the less-anal retentive organization, and their HTTP and HTTPS timeout sessions are set correctly (ie, 1800 seconds).

I'll need to have the other organization's firewall admin take a peek at their setup tomorrow.

THANKS AGAIN.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
If you don't mind, please let me know what you find out.

I'm going to be writing a policy suggestion to my cio and the more information the better.

Obviously we don't want regular users having to mod their phones with apks that we write. Whole "liability" thing..

Although I highly doubt that most would attribute battery life to getting mail or events..

Hi, and thanks to whoever takes the time to help out,

I would like to make the jump to PhantomPhreak53 CM10, and i am currently using a GB rooted ROM nothing special, and i'd like to know which kernel to download from Chris41g's list of kernels, he has so many and all have similar/different names, Please Help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Those kernels are only for cm9. Won't work with cm10. Just use the one that's packaged with the rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] archangeles:
rieina passagea

I was curious because he specifically said to make sure to have a safe kernel and then links to the page so i assumed he intended for Chris41g's kernel to be what he had in mind for flashing his ROM, so your basically saying, i'm good to go without installing a kernel for good measure ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
No off you want a safe kernel download el29 direct boot and install it via Odin and then use that to flash cm10.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
All GB Kernels are inherently safe so flash away. The new Kernel will be installed as part of the new Rom install
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] archangeles:
Ok, so el29 is what is referred to as a kernal that has a "safe recovery"?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
El29 direct boot was made specifically for flashing ics based roms. You can find it on the epic touch cm9 blog. Just do a Google search for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] archangeles:
CM10 is jelly bean based
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] archangeles:
so the precaution is for people using an ICS based kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Yeah I know... you are looking for a safe kernel to flash cm10. Ics jb same difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] archangeles:
sweet!!!!! forgive my nagging questions but thanks for taking the time!

*come hear you experimental CM10 you*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
i dont know how this thread made it this far... but... its kernel, unless you are making popcorn.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] archangeles:
yea, i realized this and was also curious how far i could go with out being corrected, forgive me ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Edit: haha you guys got me all confused. I was right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
its just a thing of mine as a kernel dev, i have to correct you, but dont take it personally... im not one of those spelling/grammar people..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] archangeles:
as a kernel dev, whats your take on my question? same answer as brooksyx?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
pretty much yea..
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] upndwn4par:
This morning I got a notification from my McAfee Mobile Security app telling me it found a potential threat on my sd card. The notification led me to one of my CWM backup .tar files, so I dismissed the notification and told the app to take no action. I just decided to take another look at my backups and realized that McAfee had gutted every single one of my .tar files. The files are still there, just empty.

I've been using McAfee for over 6 months now with no problems. Must have been a recent update. Back to Lookout.....

:mad:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] pre4speed:
That sucks. I hate how McAfee takes control even on the computer. I used them once on a new computer and had absolutely no control over anything it did so dumped it and never went back. I've been using NetQuin on my phone and ZoneAlarm on my computer.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Been using AVG myself since my annual sub to Lookout expired a few months back. It's been doing fine for me.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] upndwn4par:
I am one of the few people that likes McAfee. I use the antivirus software and online backup on my computers and never had a problem of any kind. Made sense to me to try the mobile product. It worked great too until today.

I started using McAfee when I stopped using blur based roms since I wanted the ability to wipe remotely. Can you do that on either NetQuin or AVG. Lookout can do it, but that would be another $30.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] debt collector:
I used avast for a while. You could give that a go. It was quite good, not very intrusive and doesn't have a noticeable effect on performance. :thumbup:

Since doing a factory reset on my phone I haven't bothered reinstalling it as I don't feel it's necessary for my needs.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
I haven't seen remote wipe ability with AVG. The annual fee is why I stopped using Lookout.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] pre4speed:
NetQuin probably offers it for the premium service as well, but the free version does have an antitheft mode. If someone tries to change the sim card out then it notifies a number you select when setting it up. Also has online backup of contacts which is another feature I use alot in case google doesn't work between new roms.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] upndwn4par:
Sounds like they are all the same (like most apps) - you get some features for free and you pay for the really good features. I'll be back on a blur based rom until official ICS comes out, so I'll just keep using the free version of Lookout.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nw21st:
Lookout has always been good to me.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] pre4speed:
Found thru firefox addons that remote locates, sounds alarm and wipes data FOR FREE. Called TrustGo and I'm using it now.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] upndwn4par:

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nh777:
TrustGo is pretty solid and it came as an add-on for Dolphin HD. On top of security, I use to to save my caller logs/SMS/etc. to a cloud when switching between roms.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] pre4speed:
Oops, yes I did find it thru dolphin. Not firefox. Thanx for reminding me.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] upndwn4par:
That's even better, Dolphin is my preferred browser.

P.S. You just hit 100 "Thanks".
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] elbscorp:

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] snowplow:
Perhaps I am entirely blind, but what is the purpose of anti-virus apps on android in the first place?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] upndwn4par:
Remote locate, lock, and wipe!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] pre4speed:
What upndwn4par said and also there are alot of malicious apps making their way to download, plus its good for web browsing on your phone. Facecrap is still known as being the easiest way to get viruses and most people use that on their phone daily. So its a good idea to have some sort of antivirus on your phone as you would your computer.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad387:
For those of you who haven't seen this here yet, someone has managed to modify Go Launcher so that the continuous message informing you to install the phone version is no more. Because of this, I'd love to give a go - if it were to actually fit nicely onto my screen that is. I need to adjust my DPI. What DPI do you recommend for comfortably fitting Go Launcher HD and what is the simplest method of changing my DPI to this? I am on the stock ICS 4.0.4, which means I have the brick bug also (so don't go getting my phone bricked please).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dohab:
There are planety of apps in the Play Store that can do it.

But you may need to restore your system, so you have to be carefull, I had to restore mine once.

there is a manual way to do it by editing a file, but it's not safe either.

In liquid smooth JB rom, the option to change DBI is in the setting directly.. it's amazing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad387:
I believe that you mean "DPI" and not "DBI", but thank you for the advice regardless of a typing error. So, from what you are saying, there is no safe way to alter the DPI on a stock ROM until Samsung (hopefully) fix the brick-bug problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
Are you rooted? I once changed DPI using "DPI Changer" from play store and I had to re-flash firmware (boot loops), since then I am using root explorer to edit build.prop and haven't encountered any issue since then. You can also use ROM toolbox. But both these require root access.

I have tried 240, 285 and both seems okay.

Long story short, i need to get to the Recovery Mode without using the hardware buttons.

My home button broke, i was trying to flash stock rom from pc odin (to sent it to warranty), and now i cannot setup my phone (i'am stuck at the welcome screen, some processes FC), maybe because i did not wipe data.

So, can i enter the recovery mode without the home button? Via abd commands?

I can only enter download mode as i do not need the home button.

Or, is there some way to wipe data / factory reset via download mode?

if you just want to go to recovery mode.. minus your hardware button... no need for all the hassles....

look for an app in google play called quick reboot... it needs root though but when you tap on that app.. one of the options there is recovery... you can boot your phone on recovery just by installing and simply using that app and with your phone(rooted)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
He has already use pc odin to flash rom, so naturally.won't have root, and juat doing for warranty purpose, so i don't think he.shud flash custom kernel to get root.with pc odin, as in defected device, you can't take chance to raise counter.

Tab 10.1 root/rom running 4.1.1

I just flashed a jelly bean ROM and it was working perfectly until I set up google now and rebooted. It rebooted several times and made it back to the lock screen but it became worse everytime it rebooted until it was stuck at the boot animation.

I properly backed up all my data with the latest CWM version. BUT.......when I try to restore I get a E: Cant mount /sdcard. That means no factory reset. This thing doesnt have a physical sd card either so its not as simple as going to buy another one.

Is this a hardware/driver issue? Im kinda screwed here.........thoughts?
