You do understand the concept that somehere like XDA you hear a disproportionate amount of problems, for every person posting here with a problem, there are 100,000 consumers without a problem just USING their tablet.

If you have trouble understanding this simple concept, ask a grown up.

People always say MOST people's N7's are just fine but it seems whenever there is a problem I always seem to be affected! Although I had the screen lift but tightening the screws fixed it for me. So I would say Asus QC is lower especially at the 200 dollar price point, but not that bad.

Hi!

A friend of mine is in NYC tomorrow, and as there is no way to get the Doubleshot out of the US, he'll grab me a no-contract myTouch 4G Slide.

The question is: will i be able to use it on french networks? I'm not a specialist so i can't give you more info, but i'm sure some of you are ;) All i know is that there are classes problems (UMTS class 1, 2, 3, 4...) sometimes. So is there a risk than 2G or 3G won't work?

A big thank you for any help you could bring.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Knowing who your carrier is would help.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ninj:
Well, any carrier :) I'm on "Free mobile" for now, but that could change soon. I have no idea how to:

- check which bands are used by a carrier

- check weither the phone supports these bands.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jjbz:
You can easily google what 2G & 3G bands each carrier supports, but this page has the bands for the MT4GS.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ninj:
Thank you for the link, it will be useful. However, i find it hard to get precise info about the bands used by the networks here: Orange, SFR, Bouygues, Free Mobile.

Simple question: are they any band in the world that this phone does not cover anyway?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ohgami_Ichiro:
I just came back from Norway last month and the phone worked just fine. I had Roaming service with Telenor.

The phone has Band I so the normal 3G service will work up to 14.4 Mbps HSPA+ if your carrier supports it. If not it will be normal 7.2Mbps 3G service speed.

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

The bands equate to Band I and IV. Band I is the most common World Wide Band used in Europe, Asia (including Japan) and Australia.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] frav:
I'm using a MT4GS here in France.

It has a US T-Mobile SIM card.

It connects onto Orange network. Phone calls work great.

I didn't use data (quite expensive, I'm using Wi-Fi). So I have no input about that part.

If you are looking for a good phone with a physical keyboard - like the MT4GS - I'd try the Samsung Captivate Glide (only with AT&T - easy to unlock and root).

Great phone. Data (3G/3G+) works great here in France on Bouygues, Free, Orange.

In addition to that it packs a 4" screen and a Tegra 2 processor.

The best part is it has since a few days ICS !

I'm using the Glide here in France with French sim card. Works great. A lot more powerful than the MT4GS...

My 2 cents :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ninj:
Thank you forw these answers! Great pieces of info.

frav, you say the Samsung Captivate Glide is better, which i believe, but to be honest i'm a fan of Sense UI :) Also, the MT4GS has ICS too through custom roms. When you say "a lot more powerful" do you mean that much? Could you run Quandrant or something equivalent on both? Thank you :)

Is the MT4GS compatible with all 4G bands? I heard 4G is gonna be a mess about bands (using old 2G, and new frequencies...)

Thank you!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ninj:
Back with 4G issue!

Hi again everyone. It's an old subject, but it comes under light today.

My carrier ("Free Mobile") opened today their 4G network. I'm in France (yes, still :) ).

In France, 2 bands are used: 800Mhz and 2600Mhz. Free Mobile only uses 2600Mhz, but that mau change in a near future.

My question is will i be able to get 4G on my MT4GS in France then?. I think not unfortunately, because it doesn't seem to support 800Mhz or 2600Mhz for 4G... but could you confirm?

Thank you :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
HSPA is only supported in the 1700mhz and 2100 mhz bands.

Free Mobile is rolling out LTE as 4G there is no chance that the MT4GS will be able to utilize that upgraded service. The freq is on 2600 mhz.

It appears their LTE network is in the early stages of roll out, you would likely have poor coverage anyway due to low numbers of towers in service. LTE on 2600 mhz would have poor building penetration and relatively short range due to the frequency being so high and that LTE needs a clean signal to noise ratio for decent reception.

To take advantage of the new service you will need a different device.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ninj:
Hi,

Thank you for your clear answer.

I am working at 50m from a Free 4G antena, and living at 200m of another one, so i would enjoy a great 4G if it was compatible. But as i was afraid, it is not. Too bad :)

I'll get another device when any manufacturer starts doing really good Android high end phone with keyboard ;)

Have a nice day!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cayte2:
I tried this and now keep getting: "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped".

I double checked the my gps.conf file and it seems I did everything as mentioned... any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Seriously, I know you are new here but read my posts right above bud. The person who took this information from another post of mine neglects to realize a lot of stuff does not work in this gps.conf file he supplied. They wanted to be a hero stealing research and post references and post it here like it was a solution. First of all, it comes from another phone not a Nexus. Secondly, I posted it just to sort of show people an example of how complicated a gps.conf could be and what I weeded out to get it working on my Nexus. Here is my gps.conf for you so you can see the lines that I stripped out of it that I know work. Of course you will have to update it to reflect your country. Hope it helps you.

I may have a few other lines to add but I want to give it another day or so and go over my results before I pass it on to others. When I am done my testing I will put up a new post for people. For now this should do you fine. Just update the servers, follow the same order.

Dude. Don't get so butthurt.

I have:

-linked the original thread

-requested people to go to the original thread to thank the OP

-thanked the OP myself in ALL CAPS, as in "THANKS XENOVA!"

-stated I have copied and pasted it from original thread, IN MY VERY FIRST SENTENCE OF THE THREAD

How did I "want to be a hero stealing research and post references and post it here like it was a solution."?

Grow up. The only service I did was to copy and paste it into our forums, so when someone searches GPS fix on our forums, which I had, they would find it. I doubt many people would go to the actual Android Dev forums and search there for a Gnex GPS fix. I have also stated my contributions as such on the 2nd line of text in my OP.

EDIT: Never mind sir. Didn't realize you're from Ottawa. Everything makes sense now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] convolution:
Yea, thats the default. You gotta paste the more detailed GPS.conf over it.

I should throw some infractions around for so much disrespect of others but instead will be placing user notes for other mods to see if some attitudes don't change!

The linked post clearly states it was tested on an HTC phone AND a Samsung and should work on othersl. Of course there may be some erroneous code in that respect but does not mean it will damage anything. Flukester69 not sure what your problem is with this. If it works or not users will report it. It is not your place to tear down somebody simply trying to help others. No one here gets paid for anything and your disrespect and flaming is not appropriate on XDA.

If I have to come back here there WILL be infractions.

I know these GPS Fixes but I want to know one thing:

I live in Finland but I'm Estonian so I'm not always in Finland.. So can it be edited like adding 2 country names and 2 region names (different region and country), does it mess something up or not?

I don't usually use any "GPS fixes" because in Estonia I can receive the GPS signal in 3 minutes at day, at night something in 6 minutes, but in Finland I have have to wait almost 15 minutes to get GPS signal so then I have to put 3G on to receive the GPS signal faster.. :D

My GPS works phenomenally on stock 4.2, but running Sorcery, nothing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dacbarbos:
"Three Second GPS FIX" may sound very attractive indeed but let's be realistic here - nothing will do the trick against "mother nature" a.k.a. dark clouds before a storm. Not to mention the plethora of hardware devices running multiple Android OS versions these days sometime maybe using weak/cheap GPS receiver chips. The topic was interesting enough though as it did help me discover LeoAGPSInjector tool which shall do the trick with less effort (what most people are expecting). Personally I am quite happy with GPS Status & Toolbox PRO app by MobiWIA. As for the NTP part, of course having accurate time is very important but I'm sure most of mobile operator's hardware devices are already using it so simply having your smartphone time automatically synchronized with your mobile operator is enough. This is just a rant so take it "as is". I don't expect any reply.

I've been looking for apps that can apply filters to the color of what's being rendered on screen, I've found two apps so far. One is exclusive for samsung galaxy devices and the other is Chainfire 3D, which doesn't work on ICS. I was wondering if anyone knows of any apps or custom roms that can achieve this effect, basically make the screen even darker than usual by only displaying everything in one color. I know this is used for some OLED screens to save battery life, but it would be great for me in low light environments.

There's an app called Screen Filter but I'm not sure if you have the option to change the color.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GaresTaylan:
Hey everyone. My 8013 has been rooted and running like a champ. Today I ran the OTA update via Kies and it said it successfully installed. I show that Im on build UEALH2.

I was having issues where it looked like the OTA didnt install all the way because I was getting notifications again that it was available. I rebooted into CWM and cleared the cache and dalvik, rerooted and booted into the device again. It went through the OTA installer again. This time when it was done, I checked and no software updates available. Sweet.

But now Im having issues with my screen not responding to touch inputs. The screen is still working, because I can remove the pen and the side bar loads, plus widgets are still updating... but it wont accept any inputs from my fingers or the pen? I did a factory reset to see if that would fix it, but what happens is when it starts up I have control of the touch screen. If I lock the device and then try to unlock it, the screen is immediately unresponsive to touch input. I was going to flash using Odin and the latest stock rom but the only post I saw where the latest rom was posted at shows the file is down: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1847706

Any ideas on what could be wrong or where I should go from here? Ive never ran into any issues like this with past devices.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] vanillanesquik:
Same issues here. Have been speaking with entropy and another member to try to fix this. I am at a loss as well.

Things I have tried:

*MD5 Post-update*

*Wipe Data/Cache via stock recovery*

*Re-flash MD5*

I am now in the process of locating a UEALGB recovery/kernel. If any member has a link to it or can help its certainly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GaresTaylan:
Are you just having OTA update issues or is your screen not responding properly to touch as well?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] vanillanesquik:
No touch, no pen input. Its worst-case.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GaresTaylan:
If you find the UEALGB recovery/kernel please let me know and provide the steps you used to fix the issue.

Guess thats what I get for jumping the gun on the update.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] vanillanesquik:
The update restored touch function but the pen functions are completely derped.

A pre-rooted full package is being uploaded by entropy in the next 2 hours so I am crossing my fingers that this will fix it.

2. Rebooted my computer.

3. Wiped everything.

4. ODIN root injected original firmware.

5. Kies update.

6. ODIN Clockwork Recovery

7. Flash Superuser.

Boom, everything works.

** DISCLAIMER - There is a strong possibility this worked only due to #1. YMMV.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BigAtrain:
Thank you!!! I have been saying this in other threads. Why would you use anything from Samsung knowing you have modified files to have root. :banghead:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GaresTaylan:
I took the OTA via Kies because it was listed in the OTA update thread that it was ok to do so? And that root was working fine afterward?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Because we are dangerous, exciting and chicks dig us.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] vanillanesquik:
The root method 2 specified that OTA was viable with stock recovery. I flashed stock recovery and the OTA failed. We were then forced to update via KIES and touch/pen functions were then bugged. The best way is my method above.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GaresTaylan:
I tried this method and when my note boots up s note keeps crashing every 15 seconds or so without my even opening it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Entropy512:
In many cases, if you ONLY have added su and Superuser.apk - you can safely apply an OTA. However if you've touched anything else in /system - boom
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mi7chy:
Standard practice is to reimage back to stock then apply OTA but the full image wasn't available via Kies until this update came out. This will be less of issue going forward as there's a full image now.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BeerChameleon:
OK so o tried vanillas order and kies froze or disconnect me or something so I odined the md5 tar of the new update and back to no touch screen but like 5 mins so I shut it off and resume later.

What is the best thing to do to get all fixed up?

TA no longer needs a special kernel, just root.

(Why? Chainfire took my kernel and repackaged it with a special initramfs that resets the counter on boot. So TA backs up the current kernel, flashes the "flashing" one, reboots into it, and that kernel then resets the triangle counter, reflashes the original kernel, then reboots.)
