[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
The little circular metal ring has a small cut out where the ring is split. This is to grab the tip in the s-pen like the ring was a set of tweezers and pull it out of the s-pen then just push a new one into the pen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
The black tips have a rubber core and serve to provide a little natural drag on a glass screen. The white tips are plastic and are better suited if you have a screen protector.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
Weird, my white tip feels rubbery while inking.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaDSman:
Thanks for the info and instruction guys!

I have no reason to change it yet, but I was just curious and wanted to get the info out there for everybody else.

@troed: No need to be a **** bro...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Well both tips are white but the one encased is black is rubber. The white plastic tip will feel rubbery if you have a screen protector.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
Nope, no protector, white tip, feels rubbery.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmonsushi:
The guy is asking for how. Clip the tip out, stuff a new one it til it hit all the way at the end. If you want diagram look at the online manual

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
He got the answer already.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverbladef:
So when are you supposed to change the tips? Is it supposed to become a little less responsive or gets...ahem...stiffer?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
Good question.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Probably when they are too short. I have wacom-like tablet and the tip is shorter now than it was a year ago. So changing tips is probably once in a year thing, or even more rare.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickeylittle:
Maybe but this post was very helpful with the manual.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MouseTheLuckyDog:
So where do you get replacementrs.

First off back to the original question. You see the same tip changing system with every graphics tablet I've seen. So you sholuld be able to google it or read any graphics tablet manual. I wouldn't be surprised if you could find a youtube video on it.

Second question. I never noticed my tips getting smaller, I thought it was just to change the feel. Where can you find replacement tips?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
True, but your statement "the guy is asking how" made it seem as if the OP had been ignored, which he hadn't, and I just confirmed the fact that his needs had not been ignored. ;)

Yes, the manual was helpful. I already have it, most do, and I haven't looked it up either. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DS1969:
I've been using my Note since I got it in March of this year. I didn't purchase a case as I had my iPhone 3GS for close to 3 years and never had an issue dropping it or damaging it.

A few weeks ago I took a picture and it didn't look real good. I opened other pictures I had taken previously and they looked much sharper. I looked into settings and everything looked normal. I looked at the camera window and noticed it was scratched and dirty looking. I tried cleaning it but that didn't do anything.

I contacted Samsung and was told this is physical damage and I need to pay to get this fixed.

I'm not one to try and get everything fixed for free but in this case I think it's a poor design of the camera window as it isn't caved in and sticks out and can get scratched by having the phone rest on it's back. I think this is the normal way to place the phone when I'm not using it.

I would like to know if you guys think this is a poor design or if I'm the one who messed it up ? I know I could of bought a case and this would of never happened but I think if a phone needs a case to keep this from happening then Samsung should supply the case or worn you that you need one. My iPhone 3GS with no case never had an issue with the camera window getting scratched.

If you think this should be covered under warranty how should I convince Samsung as they tell me it's not.

Thanks for your time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sgs2_1.6:
Just hard brick it and return it in for warranty. That's how most folks nowadays do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 21productionz:
I can't speak for your phone, but I never use a case on any phone. My phones go through hell, very dusty and harsh environment (custom cabinet maker / installer). I have never had a problem with my camera lense cover. And I'm the guy who walks in the office and does the toss slide on the desk with my phone. But one thing I'm very good about is nothing ever goes in the pocket with my phone. Change, keys, lighter, none of that. But as hard as they try to make sure everything they produce is of the same quality, there are exceptions that slip through the cracks.

I love my note!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DS1969:
I always put in my pockets with nothing in my pockets. I will admit I do put it on the counter when I'm at a bar and may move it around on the counter but I still think a 600 dollar phone shouldn't have the camera window flush where it can get scratched.

I sent Samsung an email telling them I find this unacceptable and that this should of never happened and it's not because I'm careless. If they expect us to use a case then supply it with the phone or maybe tell us to never put the phone on it's back as the camera window may get scratched. Guess if they still expect me to pay to get the window changed I will have to learn how to hard brick the phone.

I love my Note and changed because I liked the bigger screen and having a better camera than my iPhone 3GS. I've dealt with Samsung for an issue with my TV and it was pretty hard to get things resolved. Now I have an issue with one of there phones and it seems to be an issue again. My 3GS had an issue with the sensor called Apple got an appointment at an Apple store got there 15 minutes later I was out with a new phone. The new phone had the power supply burn up. Same scenario call got to the Apple store 15 minutes later out with a new phone. That being said I prefer Android over iOS but for customer service Samsung is way behind Apple.

Thanks for the replies. Will keep yo posted on the reply from Samsung to my latest email.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Eric-1987:
That's your bad my camera is fine and I've had it since pre-order. No case either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
I hate to say this but "IF it had a case, this probabaly would've never happend". The HTC one X camera bulges out and so far there isn't a lot of complaints about the camera lense getting scraped. Claiming that it was poorly designed is just a bad excuse.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
I never touch my lens with anything but a micro-cloth (plus it's in a fairly thick case, so sliding it around isn't an issue), and even then I got a scratch on it straight through the middle the first week I had the phone. But it's not noticeable in pictures. You'd REALLY have to screw up the lens to be able to see anything in a picture, the focal point is so far away from the lens...

EDIT: You may be able to just find a replacement lens and fix it yourself. I did that on a prior phone when the lens cracked from being dropped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
The camera is just that lens with a ribbon cable that connects it to the mainboard. Its not too hard to remove. I have seen replacements for other phones available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DS1969:
Thanks for the replies. All I know my pictures look grainy now and when I look at the lens/window it's dull looking and I can't get it back clear. If I messed this up I would like to know how I did this as I have done nothing different with my Note compared to my 3GS. Will look into trying to fix this myself as paying 75-100 to get this done by the Samsung service center is expensive. I could understand if I did something stupid to mess it up but as far as I know I didn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ndmoh1:
Hi, perhaps you should look into getting a replacement lens from ebay.

Here's a link:

I don't really like cases but I went with the otterbox commuter and I love it. You might want to look into a case once you fix the camera.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ukguy115:
My outside silver bezel was scratched from dropping and it also has the camera window. Not to hard to replace. Just need to undo screws and something to pry it off. Found part on eBay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 722ish:
If you've been relegated to spending money to fix it or getting a warranty replacement, maybe try to polish it first, it has worked for me in the past with similar issues. I don't know if its a polycarbonate lense, but automotive stuff always helped me. Meguiars plastiX is the stuff I've used with reasonable success, at least with plastic parts. Maybe trying something like that will help clear it up, if the scratching isn't too deep anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Timelord83:
I am going to try this tonight.. as i also have a very very beat up camera window and mines been in a case from day 1. but its in my pocket with countless other things. i am going to try and hand polish it and if that fails low speed dremel with a polish wheel and some polish creme lololol worst that happens is i screw it up.. i've got a spare note anyways. I'll try and post some before an after pictures.

EDIT:

after looking at the protective shell its just plastic and not even attached to the camera. you can buy the replacement lens cover here for $5 and its 9 screws to change it out

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ukguy115:
That's what I did. Hardest part is popping off the piece. I used something called an orange stick (plastic wedge thing). Its very easy though, hope it works out for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Timelord83:
If u take the phone apart so the back is off 9 screws and a case opener tool. you can bend those tabs straight and the piece falls right out. drop the new one in and bend the tabs down and done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] styz:
If you take some paper and roll it up and put it on either side of the camera when you're snapping the back cover on it will make it pop up enough to stick out a bit further than the camera cover but not so far as to stop it from locking all the clips on the cover. When you put it back down after that the camera cover doesn't touch the table.

Hi,

I seem not to be able to send mails from my transformer via my exchange server. This worked in some point in time, but somehow that stopped. Sending mails from my HTC sensation works without problems.

Also this only seems to be a problem, when I'm not connected to the exchange on the lan, but I'm accessing that from the internet.

Has anyone similar problems - or maybe even a solution?

Try accessing your exchange server via webmail, so it'll be webmail.yourcompany.com and use your password. Webmail is the key....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doibugu2:
Ok, bought my phone off of ebay and have had poor radio connection since I've got it. I loaded almost all of the different radio combinations and am currently on the latest version that just came out a few days ago.

I'm running codename droid rom.

Both at home and at work I can really keep 4g service. This is very annoying because my other phone before this was a thunderbolt and I never had issues at either place. Typically only had 1-3 bars on thunderbolt, but way better than the 3g with no bars on the Nexus.

Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.

You should use it, if you have adb installed. If not, just install ICS@BLUE.

Hello Everyone

I have read quite a bit about flashing but have not tried it yet. I know that the phone can be soft bricked if there is some problem and can be subsequently recovered as well. I also read about something known as nand corruption and I guess that too is recoverable as well.

What I wanted to know was can this phone be permanently bricked and if yes in what cases can it be possible?

I searched google with the same question and found that there can be emmc chip failure but that affects the S2 and Galaxy Note and that too particularly the ICS roms only.

So I wanted to know what is the status of this phone as far as bricking permanently is concerned.

Regards

I was planning to use instructions from the website androidadvices for flashing. It has indepth tutorials. For ex-

http://androidadvices.com/update-galaxy-gt-i9000-stable-jellybean-411-firmware/#.UEe0FSK6Dsk

The tutorial for almost all roms seems to be same!

1.) Update your phone to xxjw4 through odin.

2.) Root your phone.

3.) Apply update via recovery mode.

And if you have to update another rom repeat the procedure above!

But reading few threads on XDA the information here seem very complicated for some roms! :-?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erpurohit:
yes... few users are complaining about loosing imei and not able to connect to network... so best practice says always flash JB over ICS and ICS over GB... always flash JB over ICS....

If you need more info or links head to remics-jb thread in development section.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] thepgo:
I got Xperia Neo V for testing, and being an audiophile I am, one of the first things I've tested is sound equality.

Also, being an audiophile I am, I hate having any sound enhancers, SRS, beats audio etc. (other than rarely a bit of EQ).

First thing i noticed is rather bass-heavy, dark sound, and not really the best accuracy and limited soundstage. Not really the best I've heard. Instantly came to me that it may be caused by some kind of sound enhancer, but I've already disabled what was there to disable(and it was only for speakers).

Is there any hidden enhancer(driver, or a background tool/process) in stock rom, or is it how this phone really sound?

I've already tried non-stock player(mixzing), but it's still the same.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Yes in stock gingerbread, there is a dirty base sound that's why most people use a sound mod but in ICS or jellybean there is no need.

Try Xenoamp from the market, the built in eq alters system eq only, no extra mods, also has an inbuilt headphone calibrator
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] roladyzator:
Use TTPOD or (even better) Rockbox

I've been pursuing better sound quality ever since I got this phone - at first it sounded significantly worse than Nationite N2 mp3 player or my old Panasonic discman.

So I tried PowerAmp and the sound was even worse with everything disabled. Then came Neutron, which did actually improve in transparency from Xperia S GB player.

Then I tried TTPod 3.6 translated by shardul_seth IIRC - what an improvement! The sound was really clear, with good bass contour and sharpness to the treble.

One day I decided to try Rockbox again (the first time it didn't work). I like the interface better than TTPod. As for the sound - at the first glance it was comparable, but since I tried Brainwavz B2 earphones the difference is apparent. Rockbox has better soundstage/imaging, treble that is sparklinh without being overly sharp and fast, transparent bass. Actually the bass was more hard-hitting and full on TTPod, but it just intergrates with the music better on Rockbox.

But the biggest improvement was in the midrange - on B2 it came really powerful, clear and weighty, more physical. TTPod would play mids in a more distant, grey, uncolored but boring way - that's not the case with rockbox.

I have too little posts to post the direct link so to find Rockbox replace the underscore with a dot

rasher_dk/rockbox/android/

I'm using it with Codename 8 GB Rom, tried different roms with ICS, JB, Beats, XSIncrediblebass - to me the "pure" roms sounded the same, while the enchancements sounded way worse, very muddy.

If you like the sound I'd like to hear your feedback:)

I also tried the Xperia Fidelity script, but it is more of a placebo difference. The same guy wrote Fidelizer for Windows, though - and it does noticeably improve the sound.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] martirio3000:
i use volume +

It has different mode for headphones/bluetooth and speakers

So for example i have max BASS at headphones :P BUT i have setted speakers to no bass and increased sound quality
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] thepgo:
@roladyzator

Thanks a lot for your post!

Main problem with the sound was that I use FA eterna, and that bloated bass, suppressed highs and limited soundstage was exactly the worse sound you can give to those iems.

At first installed rockbox... what. a. difference. Totally different sound. Finally can listen to that. I wasn't too satisfied with UI though.

Decided to try TTPOD too. Wow, this UI is exactly what I was looking for. Sound was good too. More distant than Rockbox, bass a bit bloated, but I can live with that. Excellent player. Finally made me stop missing the iPhone.

I posted that thread more out of curiosity(got father's neo V just for a few day testing), cause I'm switching to Desire S soon, but I'm really glad I asked. Finally found my player of choice. Thanks again!

btw. any idea how desire s sounds? good enough?
