[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrew G:
S-Note for Windows

There's an S-Note for Windows that will let you sync with Evernote or your Samsung account and do things like export to PDF, which will presumably be faster than doing it on an Android device.

I'm a new XDA commenter so I can't post a link, but you can find the S-Note download on the Samsung website.

Hope that helps - sure helps me!

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 AM ----------

I didn't find this so much of a problem. In the Web version of Evernote, you can read the S-Note files just fine. The pages are displayed as images. Of course what you say is true in the Evernote Android app - pretty annoying.
[General Questions and Answers] Ahmed.Essam:
Hello, This is my first post on XDA and I am sorry if this is the wrong forum for posting this question.

I am a computer engineering student and I willing to make an augmented reality browser for android as a graduation project(something like Layar and Wikitude); however, I want to make it from scratch(without using any Augmented Reality API like the ones Layar provide), I want the application to be smart and to be able to detect stuff through image recognition and back it up with locations provided through GPS and I am willing to use Google Maps API for fetching Points of interest and other APIs for different uses...

I have very basic android programming experience and average java programming experience. I am going to work in a group of two and I have a 10 month period to make the app.

The question I hope any of XDA developers would help me answer is :

Can it be done or do I have to look for another graduation project? If yes, what materials(books, tutorials,...) should I start searching for if I want to make this project better?

I appreciate any help regarding this question...

Sorry for my bad English...
[General Questions and Answers] KingAmir:
Sounds good.

Yes, I do think it is possible. And by the way, great Idea for a project. I know someone in my university that did something similar. And seeing as google provides image search, you could borrow google's service for that image thing you mentioned.

Augmented reality is becoming a massive business and it will be interesting to see what you come up with.

Sorry if this isn't what you wanted but this is all my experience in augmented stuff combined to answer your question. But nothing is impossible. As a heads up This project may be a lot of work.

What computer languages do you know?
[General Questions and Answers] Ahmed.Essam:
Thank you so much for your assistance. I have an average knowledge in Java and C languages.If it is not much trouble, can you ask the person who did it in your university about the best resources to start with in order to achieve a good application.

Also, Thanks a lot for the great tip about using Google image search.
[General Questions and Answers] KingAmir:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Derekao:
I have been a EVO users for (2) years making the change to SGIII. I hope I am making the right decision. Couple of questions:

S-off obtainable?

Bootloader Y/N?

Battery Life?

Good Stable Rom?

Tell me what you guys think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
We don't need some soff because Samsung usually isn't a ****

Everything else hell yeah

Some things even hit this phone first

Hell I'm testing something for a guy that will be one of a kind once he shows it off
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
The bootloader on the SGIII is not locked (so the equivalent of S-OFF on the HTC bootloaders does not apply). You simply use the Samsung Odin tool to flash a custom recovery so that you can then root or install a custom ROM. It is very easy to do.

The battery life has been good in the two weeks that I have had the phone but of course it depends on phone usage. I can burn the battery down if I am using the phone constantly but with my normal usage it lasts considerably longer than my Evo did.

When I look around I do find some other ROMs around but I have not made that leap yet. I am just running rooted stock. There is enough of an adjustment for me coming from Gingerbread Sense to Samsung ICS. I have not felt the need to do anything other than simple mods at this time.

I came to the SGIII after being on the Evo 4G for two years... I was torn between the Evo LTE and the Galaxy SIII. The things that drove me to the SIII were: replaceable battery, 2GB RAM, USB OTG...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Derekao:
Thanks for the update. I came for OG EVO to EVO LTE which I currently have but many problems have pushed me away. I did an (OTA) and brick my first EVO LTE. One thing that drives me nuts when i am in a call screen goes black. Non removable battery not a big fan either.

I will see tomorrow when I get my SGIII!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
S-off obtainable?

Samsung doesn't have S-On and S-Off but instead Locked and Unlocked. Unlike HTC's ****ty unlock, the samsung unlock fully unlocks your phone.

Bootloader Y/N?

There's a bootloader, but the place where you flash stuff like radio, recovery, etc. is in something called Download Mode. You can use an official samsung tool called ODIN to flash the stuff really easily.

Also every computer has a bootloader. A bootloader is what checks if all your hardware is working and initializes it when you start the device.

Battery Life?

Excellent. I can get 5 hours of screen on time. Similar to the Evo LTE.

Good Stable Rom?

All of the touchwiz ROMs are stable and good. They are all pretty similar so I'd recommend Blazer or FreeGS3.

If you want AOSP, Cyanogenmod nightlies are the best in terms of stability but AOKP and Paranoidandroid are still pretty stable. Keep in mind that none of the AOSP ROMs are stable, but are good enough for a daily driver. If you need stability, use touchwiz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] santanac:
Wont regret it, my wife has an Evo LTE which i rooted (what a pain in the ass to get s-off) and the Gs3 feels way superior. Dev support for evo lte is not even close to the GS3. My previous phone was an EVO 3d and after having this phone no way im going back to HTC.

Sent from my GS3 on the **** network
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Derekao:
That is exactly want I was hoping to hear. I am unrooting LTE as we speak and taking it back later today.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Duce HD2:
Welcome to lag free world.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I think you'll be a happy camper. Just make sure you don't root it the second you get it out of the box. Make sure you provision everything first and make sure your 3G connection is working. I jumped too quick and didn't have any data and had to call Sprint.

Check the Dev sub forum and you'll find videos by qbking that will guide you step-by-step on how to root your phone. It's a simple process if you have any knowledge in the subject at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] edufur:
Yep... I think if HTC wants to survive, they need to take a few lessons from Samsung. They need to give up on the control thing. They are gaining nothing by doing that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] os2baba:
I never thought I'd ever hear anyone say this! Back when I was suffering through my T-Mobile Vibrant (Samsung Galaxy S) days, I was firmly in the #neveragain camp. I couldn't wait to jump to HTC. Then sometime around a year or so ago, things started changing. First, I guess because of the success of the galaxy line in general, a lot of devs started working on the Samsung phones. The Vibrant still suffered, because it had horrendous GPS (still does to some extent) locks and Samsung wouldn't release either the source code or updates. But the open source community worked wonders. I think the Vibrant was possibly amongst the first phones with an ICS ROM - working ICS ROM. I have been using ICS since December on my Vibrant. It got the JB ROM almost 2 months ago - a stable daily driver JB ROM.

Even so, this was all the open source community with Samsung doing Jack. When I saw the specs for the HTC One X, I was sure I was switching to HTC. Then Samsung hired Steve Kondik and I'm sure he's had something to do with this, but Samsung suddenly started releasing source codes left right and center. As others have said, they never locked the boot loader in the first place and now with the same device on millions of phones (with very minor changes), they have the best of both worlds. But I was still determined to get the One X - especially when Sprint added a SD Card, a kickstand and a dedicated camera button. The display is phenomenal (the one place it totally kicks the S3's butt), but the non removable battery was giving me some pause. I spent some time in the HTC EVO LTE forums and started seeing the multi tasking problems and decided that with the 2GB RAM and the removable battery and the developer community, I was better off with the S3. On top of that, I think HTC went in the other direction. From a nudge-nudge-wink-wink co-inhabitation with the open source community, they went with locked boot loaders, slower releases of the source code.

I finally pulled the plug and decided to go with the S3 - although I must say, I did debate for 5 minutes whether I should wait for the Note 2.

I don't anticipate running any custom ROMS yet on the S3 that I'll be getting next week. But I'll definitely be rooting it and installing Nova launcher. If Samsung hasn't released JB by next month, I'll probably be using CM10. It's already very stable on my Vibrant. It's sure to be stable on the S3 in a month's time.

I wish HTC well and hope they come out with a good phone the next time I'm in the market for a phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] david032766:
I had the evo lte for 3 days and could not get a 4g lte signal in my house. I never loose lte in my house with the s3

Sent from my bad ass Odexed Blue SIII
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elephant007:
When I was due for an upgrade, well a line was eligible on my account, I was looking at going with the HTC LTE and decided that I wanted to be able to pull my battery so I didn't give it another thought. I upgraded from the S II to the S III, it was a good move. I had the phone for about 4 hours before I decided to root it and about a day and a half before I decided to put a custom ROM on it

I chose Team Sonic-FreeGS3 mainly because it has the same look and feel as the original stock with added tweaks.

I unplug my phone at around 7 am each morning and use my phone for email and text mainly while at work with some phone calls peppered in, when I get home usually around 530pm, I will have 75% battery life left. I'm very impressed with this ROM and it continues to get better and better. It's very stable and I haven't run into any issues with this ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ppero196:
You should check Motorola's policy. No single way to unlock bootloader :crying:

Next phone...definitely Samsung, maybe from Nexus line
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
Hey Derek, I came from the originals evo also. This has some keyboard lag at random times, and very minor issues, but hardly noticeable. Better than the new evo, compared to the old evo, this is heaven. Look at this, just from texting all day, kik, facebook, xda, and some web browsing and YouTube a little. But one thing I must warn you about, when you get it, at first battery life will seem to suck but it doesn't. You just happen to be going crazy with it not putting it down XD and downloading stuff and personalizing and all that. Screen on in the screen shot is total time on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] james33440:
I sold my EVO 4G LTE and got a S3. Couldn't be happier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
why sell it? Its so new you can go back to sprint and ask to return it for the S3? XD
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FunnySideUp:
after reading this thread, glad I'm getting a s3 over the evo 4g lte!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] james33440:
I used my upgrade for the iPhone 4S is why. Bought the EVO new for $549.95 from Sprint.

Sold the iPhone for $450 on eBay 2 weeks prior to the EVO release. I pre-ordered two. Sold one EVO for $350 and bought the S3 for $360 with an otterbox case of eBay. Couldn't pass that deal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ronnienyc:
I have both, and each has it's advantages. Though I think I'm going to stick with the Evo because it gets data in places where the Samsung does not. Also the Evo gets a good voice connection in places where the Samsung roams.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
Those are only location related XD for your loction (state or town), it seems to work better for you. All depends on the towers and location and obstructions in your state or town.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

How do you buy 2 EVO LTEs with $450 when everyone sells them for $600? Im not that good at math but im sure somethings left out XD

Can you port this to "insert ROM/firmware here"?

as of right now i am only porting this to Triune

So I flashed this over my rooted stock phone that wasn't on LH1, but the release before it. Now I've got this error Select an action. No Applications can perform this action. Activity %1$s is not responding. Then something about violating strict mode policy.

I can't get the phone to sync via USB in Download/Recovery or at the point where it's stuck with that error. Any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
upgrade to LH1... why would you flash files from a different firmware :confused:

the update from LG1 to LH1 was pretty big... not only did lots of xml change, but so did some policies.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Fweega:
Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking when I did it last night. Too much to drink etc.

So where can I find LH1 and can I flash it through Odin3 with the phone in download mode because that seems to be the only place I can get a connection made to the PC?

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: I found a LH1 stock rooted ROM. We'll see how this goes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
ahhh okay. np. i wouldn't use an Odin version though. there should be a CWM flashable one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Fweega:
Problem is I can't get the files to the device because USB doesn't work while the phone is booted and it's stuck at that error screen. I'm trying to figure out a way to push the files to the internal sdcard now through download mode.

EDIT: Back on a rooted LG1. All good now I just need to flash LH1 then this theme again. Lol.

Just a thought but you may want to black out your phone number in the ss.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
thanks but it's not a number that is or will be used
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xxlikquidxx:
Why? Can you put it back please? I find this feature really helpful!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
because it wasn't a part of the initial release, i found that it cluttered the extended status bar, is not AOSP, nor beneficial to myself. i've considered making a separate package. the only problem with this is there's already 2 in my OP (AOSP, ATT add-on). so if i throw this back in, then i'll have to make 2 more instead of just one, bringing the total to 4, which starts to confuse some people because there's so much there.

instead, i am considering adding in the 15-toggle mod. would this be suitable, or do you have to have that slider back? to me, a brightness toggle is far superior to a slider, since you never get an accurate brightness % each time you move a slider...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xxlikquidxx:
Adding the 15-toogle mod would be great. The reason for this is like most people, I have the brightness at 0% for indoor location. When i walk outside, i look at the phone and can't see anything in broad daylight, and with the slider in the status bar or the brightness switch, its a really easy fix to the issue..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
okay awesome. should have this added for next week :)

edit: this is being put on hold. there's an issue with the mod and guess what it's in regards to? you guessed it, the brightness toggle. it will only do dim/100% or auto/100%. you can select the others in the settings, but it just doesn't work like it should. so, with that being said, until it's figured out it won't be added in. sorry mate. i would've been able to update today had i not found this problem. it was a rather easy edit.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
i apologize for having an update right after another. since the toggle mod didn't work out, i figured i'd go ahead and theme a few more things. not sure if there's much left to do at this point...

i'm considering throwing the brightness slider back in. if the toggle mod can't get fixed, and i can get the brightness slider placed where i want, i probably will.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xxlikquidxx:
well, if that's the case, can you do the battery icon mod to something like this? Blue Circle Battery Mod.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29323827&postcount=2

The current battery icon is in grey, so when my brightness is at 0%, it's really hard to see and sometimes i have to move the phone closer to take a second look. If you can lighten up the color in the blue circle mod, it would be wonderful!!

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
unfortunately, i'm not working on battery images right now.

however, i have implemented the brightness slider back in and will update some time next week when i should have more to add in for updates.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xxlikquidxx:
Well if you are not planning to change the battery icon, can you at least change the color of the battery percentage on the current theme to white instead of gray? It is really difficult to see gray. White text on black status bar is much easier to see even in broad day light.

Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
no, sorry mate. it was never white to begin with and that would look very odd. i've gone with consistency throughout my theme, this is why it looks pretty good. it wasn't white in the first place. it currently matches the silent, vibrate, clock and toggle off colors. again, i'll be throwing the brightness slider back in this week so hang in there. if you're running the AOSP 4G icon version, i have a flashable i can send you if you can't wait. it's done, i'm just looking for something else in the theme before i update.
