Are the Wifi direct files removed from this rom ?... because when i tried to connect with galaxy nexus it dint connect.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sandrioni:
Indeed, flashable zip for center clock (which I want) results in systemUI error :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AbuYahya:
I can lije wise confirm this.

Well done on ROM. Much appreciated.

@unholygid :P i put that perseus kernal charged up battery to full, now 50 % gone on just 2 hours of screen on time and some standby! :confused: duno how u get around 6hours with it! :P i kinda loose battery in this rom .like 2% in standby as average with wifi on and even my benchmark is 5170 with this.. i saw 6000 odd from the posted pic at the OP! :P duno why am having these problems :( (rom is rock stable and fast :D)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shr95:
And guys help! I got a bug now gallery is not responding goes into a black screen! Tried everything! Once that happens even touzhwiz crashes! Had to pull battery out! Not able to open gallery at all
[Galaxy S III Android Development] unholygid:
Like i mentioned batt life depends on how u use your hp. I dont have facebook or emails or any batt draining apps running in background. Instead i use the mobile browser for those stuff.

I also use es task manager to get rid of unwanted startups.

Also have my screen set to movies mode.

I enable power saving mode when not playing games.

Disable ripple effect on lock screen

And disable animation in developer settings.

I am at work now...unable to post screenshots quad scores are around 5.3k to 5.5k for me.

To be honest dont depend on any benchmark

Tools too much. I just use it to stress test my hp to ensure rom and kernel is error free.

As long it doesnt lag playing games and scores anywhere above 5k it is fine.

By the way i only have whatsapp running in background all the time. Rarely use sms! Lol

Anyway give your rom a couple of days more before judging battery life. Cheers

having some weird noises in random calls

the call seems like a robot and i can't understand the other side...

can we fix it???

What about samsung weather widget and music player? Is here some way to flash it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ronaldjanr13:
Hi can you guys post for me thrme stock alarm??i cant find themnon the first page..and alsoni would like to have the google now please thanks:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hardkaurr:
coool

its as fast as ferrari .......too hot rom.....very stable.....only phone distortion is the issue.....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] unholygid:
No noise distortion for me. Might be a modem issue. Unlikely rom problem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] unholygid:
My battery life before charging. Display takes most of the juice :eek:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] g33mt4z:
I get the distortion as well, got it straight after flashing rom so I flashed stock volume. I thought it fixed it until today,completely randomly, it's back... But, it comes and goes... Just posting to confirm I have the same issue, I'll have a dig, around the threads, think I've seen this issue somewhere else..
[General Questions and Answers] zatz:
What I'm looking for is probably pretty simple for the right person. I want to modify the modem image on several Androids to flash off-carrier settings during *228 activation. On a phone that's been flashed to a different network, *228 will break data by overwriting the ppp, pap, hdr and mip login credentials with the original carrier's settings.

These usernames can be found as plain text in the modem image. I can search for @vzw3g.com with a hex editor and change the usernames to @anything.com, and *228 will flash 1234567890@anything.com. What I'm having more trouble with are the data passwords. Some carriers might set the meid as the hdr password, others might make it the phone number. These are variables and aren't easily found by searching for strings, and I would like to set the password to anything I'd like.

If anyone here has experience with this and would like to help, post something here or pm me. I'd like to work at this and learn more. Thanks.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] ggolcher:
Our phone has a feature called Quicklinks, whereby if you pressed the search button plus a hardware keyboard key, you could quickly launch applications (i.e. search+e = email app).

Now, a bug in the software meant that the phone would sometimes think the search button was constantly pressed, so you would open the keyboard to answer to an SMS for example, and find yourself launching an app instead. The only workaround was to use the on-screen keyboard.

Before, in GB, this functionality could be disabled by going to Settings->Applications and disabling QuickLinks. This made the problem go away.

------

Enter ICS. The feature, with the same bug is still there, but I cannot find the QuickLinks entry in Settings->Applications. I've looked everywhere and I cannot find it.

Does anybody know where it is or how to disable it on the unusable official build of ICS?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] phoenixbennu:
A little bit of an odd thing to come to light for me, but I have a good hunch that the white color devices have a higher build quality vs the grey ones.

I may go so far as to say that there are slight variances outside of just the color. ...or they were build on different assembly lines...or with different QC on batches because of whatever reason you want to put there....or any number of things.

Now, here is what I base this on. I have gone through a number of white and grey devices for personal use. At least two white and two grey models. It is not exactly a scientific testing, by any means, but with the white tablets I found very solid in terms of no creaking, no light leakage, and just overall solid feel. The grey tablets had creaking, pen not staying in properly, and light leakage, among other things.

I have two boys, 2 and 3 years old, that love playing with Daddy's tablet, and a wife that uses it for personal and school use (until she gets her own tablet here in the next couple weeks). So I have put each of the devices through their paces.

So, mainly for fun and intrigue, I wanted to see if anyone could share any good or bad build feel or issues they have and what color they have. Anyone else have some insight?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] troed:
Maybe because our beloved devices are built in different factories and/or comapnies there might be quality differences and/or also the parts for assembly do come from different manufacturers ...............................
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Mine is black (not gray) and no problems at all, although this is my second one. The first had light leakage.

2 young boys? Get the toughest case you can find. I recommend a silicone case with good screen protector.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] troed:
.......... but always better than iPhone 5 that comes with scratches and leakages in series ......... :p:silly::eek::laugh:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nefariouss:
It's because Samsung is racist.

On the real though I've had both a white one and a gray/black one. No difference in quality on this end.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] naimmkassim:
I dont think silicone is a good idea. I experience it my self. Due to its semi hard material, Silicone case do scratch my bezel when some dirt is between the bezel n the case. I think tpu is a more better case..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sledgie:
I noticed the same thing that i almost weighed this white one last night in lab. Feels much more sturdier, no squeaking yet, and when i read the reviews from sites that had the grey one it kind of confirmed my suspicion. There is somethinig definitely more stable with the white one in my opinion. My grey one had six "scratches" on the back even though it was in the case 99% of the time - which didn't make sense. Then when i read androidpolice's review and saw the same six scratches, i rolled my eyes.

I will say about the pen - because i feel the same way about the squeakiness (although i can't comment on the light bleed - neither had it) that my white pen feels lighter than the grey version. I wonder if the grey version is a different type of plastic or polycarbonate (whatever it is made of) than the white. I wish there was a way to figure out the date manufactured from the serial number similar to Asus.

Now, I know that Samsung has used different components in their phones before. I have a SGSIII on Sprint. It has a different camera module than a colleague's who also has the SGSIII on sprint. The difference on mine seems to be a clearer picture and much better quality in darker areas (especially at night) and not as much noise. I'm curious if Samsung did use diffferent factories, or components on these versions. I personally don't think it was a different line or different factory, but i could be wrong. It just seems such a drastic change but it's entirely possible (similar to Asus supposedly changing innards in their Prime over a 4 month period).

I think a lot of manufacturer's do it (HTC Evo 4G comes to mind with their screens) and it's so early in this production i hope it's not true, but in my experience i wasn't going to deal with 6 "scratches" on a tablet that cost $499 that still had the plastic protector on the back. The sad part of the story is i didn't even KNOW about the scratches until i went to exchange it because it had stayed in the case for so long.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] etotheo:
I can't comment about the white version. I did buy the grey one a couple days ago and made the sales person open the box so that I could give it the squeak test... rock solid. Snapped er up!!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] khanh1289:
Having own both colors, I can say with confidence that the white one is built better. The slot to hold the pen is more tight and less squeek.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] whmcal:
My white one creaks when pressing just around the Samsung logo on the back. Only slight creak. I Can live with that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
There are only three components that differ based on the color - 1) the display because of the colored surround, 2) the molded plastic back cover, and 3) the metal-esque bezel. I'd rule out any difference caused by the display because it hasn't come in to play in any previous discussions. From a physical perspective that leaves the bezel and plastic back cover.

There's no artistry or complexity involved in molding plastic so I'd guess all the bezels and back covers are made in one place and shipped to the different factories that assemble the Note. Neither the bezel nor the back cover have any complex lines or angles (probably intentional) so I doubt there's any challenges in producing an accurate die that the plastic is formed in.

So one of two things is causing some Notes to be less solid than others: 1) assembly issues where they aren't put together properly, 2) a part like the frame, bezel, or back cover wasn't produced within tolerances and fit isn't correct. I'd guess probably 90% is assembly and 10% irregular components. Regardless, I can't see white being any more or less immune to defects than grey. They may produce a week's run of gray followed by a week's run of white. If something happens on the assembly line during a single week’s run all of a single color could be affected. But it would be random as to which one. There certainly could be aesthetic differences caused by color. Look what happened to the blue SGS3’s when they launched.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ugotproblemz:
My grey one only creeks on the lower right corner (where the s pen is located) is this on the white version?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dpwhitty11:
My white one is as solid as a rock.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] megthered:
samsung colors

I have the grey. Not noticing any squeaking, feels great. I didn't buy the white because the IPad was white. I didn't want anyone asking how I liked my Apple.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cbutt:
I have a white 16g WiFi+3g (gt-n8000). The back creaks on the left side. Can't decide whether it's due to build quality or it falling off my bed one night. Regardless, I don't mind it too much.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] macwilson:
This is the silliest thing i've ever heard. :laugh:

No seriously, don't you think they make them with all the same components, at the same factory, at the same time....etc, etc.

The only difference with these is.............Color! Yes thats it!

Or maybe they have separate factories in different countries. That would be cost effective. Maybe even the job requirements are different. The white factory requires college degrees.

BTW, I have both a white one and a black one presently, so it's not sour grapes :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] caaznkid:
Had two grays one creaked one didn't.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mancuk29:
I picked the white up first which was perfect fast and the screen was wow .. I decided to swap it to the grey it was sluggish the pen wasnt repsonsive and I have very bad screen bleed

Its going back and im getting the white again

Dissapointed
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] bpear96:
Same here :D, No light bleeding as well which makes me soo happy considering my iPad 2 (replaced once, still had it) and Asus transformer Prime both had it. The Galaxy Note 10.1 is by far my favorite as well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] relldroid:
Traded my grey in today for a white one (Not intentionally i went for a 32g model but no dice) but i can honestley say this feels so much more sturdy, I read all types of reviews so when i first bought my note i checked for that creaking on the sides, sure enough it was there, this one (white) however does not creak. So you have a valid point.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] megthered:
creaks?

I think you are all imagining a difference in the two models. I have a grey with no creaks, not sluggish and performing perfectly. Was I just lucky?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
Me, too. You can find bad ones in both colors. QC is never without fault, unless the workers are committing suicide and striking. :p
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] relldroid:
I was going to mention it could just be coincidence, but however my grey note did creak and my white one does not. Tried them both in the parking lot at best buy when I purchased them lol.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] moffe:
Just bought white version... must say there is nothing wrong with the build quality. It is plastic, sure. No creak or anything... Well anything can break if you push it real hard, even ipad!

The performance is just fine, smooth and nice!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Honeybadger:
Was it ever determined if there is a build quality difference between the colors.

I'd like to order Grey but will go with white if build is better, they don't sell them locally so I will have to order.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] megthered:
There isn't any actual proof that the white is better than the grey. I have a grey and have no creaks, works perfectly. Others have a white that is just as great. It just depends on how your imagination works. If you get a bad one in either color, blame the color and get another in a different color. That seems to be the consensus.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Okay from what i read some of you are trying to tell white one is Grade A and Grey is Grade B, the same plastic is used in both the tablets its just how the finishing is done that is different. Because the grey has a metailized back finish. Now as far is creaking is concerned plastic will tend to do that thats the characteristic of plastic. Mine is rock solid why would I press it an accute angles or marked spots to see whether it makes noise or not its like taking a hammer and hitting on metail sheet to see what place it makes what kind of noise.

There may be issues with some tablets but I think that to do with a manufacturing defect and not because of color of the tablet.

if we want to find an issue with a device we can invent 100 problems but why do we need to do it if you are happy with your device why bother which such petty things
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
The problem with the note is not it is grey or white , the real bad thing about the note tablet is the common silver frame that exists in both colors , it is very fragile even your hand can scratch it easily I tried too clean it with soft cloth that it's made for screen protectors but it scratched it also :( I think within a month of use it will be full of scratches
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
I just removed my note from its casing to see if there are any creaks none so whatsoever and feels solid like it should with respect to scratches on the frame my case fits tightly and i have to strugle to remove it but no scratches whatsoever the sceen is covered with a protector so no problems with that
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Titanicology:
I have creaky Grey Note 10.1 last week, got it replaced by Samsung directly, they gave me white one. It is very solid!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dale_cooper:
Adding on to this - I just picked up a grey note 10.1 - can you guys do me a favor... push the samsung logo on the back, does the backing move? Mine does. Can you hold the sides, while pushing the back in the middle and see the screen react (when the screen is on)?

I gotta say... I understand why reviews absolutely slammed the note. Regardless of what kind of functionality the pen and software provides, the plastic is cheap plastic, its not lumia 900 quality feeling polycarbonate, its cheap plastic. I think with a case I wouldn't notice it as much, but without it, every time I pick it up its just odd feeling. I contrast this to the nexus 7 which FEELS like a device that should be twice as expensive as the note.

I feel like my posts are continually slamming the note but I'm just being critical, because honestly its alot of money for something that has "rough edges".
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] megthered:
note

I tried to get my grey note to bend, but I couldnt get it to bend at all. My screen didnt move. I dont know what to tell you. My note is fine, si I guess I got a good one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dale_cooper:
I don't know if I've ever seen a product that has more variability - some people have great build quality, no back flexing, others think it sucks. Really really weird. I should go to best buy and see if their demo versions have any flex.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] legion1911:
It is simple:

Gray one flexes, white one does not flex.

Then take a white one if you are sensitive.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] androidjobe:
I have a grey one and a white one, 32 and 16. I will say that the s Pena raw different. The white one fits tighter in both the note, which test me it's the pen itself. That doesnth bother me... what bothers me is that on the same brightness and same color tone the gray display has a yellow tint to it... it's very light and I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't held it up to the white one. The yellow tint doesn't allow the screen to get as bright but it does make the colors look richer....

I'm thinking about ordering a second grey 32 to see if the screen is the same.

It's worth noting while the white can get brighter the color does look more washed out.

Thoughts?

Actually just handed the gray one to my wife and asked her what she thought about the display and the first thing she said was how it looks yellow. Preparing to return...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tenderidol:
Your wife or the Note? :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] pre4speed:
Sorry off topic but being the wife in my relationship, I had to laugh out loud. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] androidjobe:
Actually she is too :highfive:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mexman2010:
i got white one N8000 and no problem at all
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] midas69:
I have a grey N8013 32GB model. The build quality is much better than the white 32GB N8013 model since, well, they don't make a 32GB white N8013 model :laugh:

At least, if they do, nobody sells them.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] scataldo721:
Today i returned my transformer prime and got this (32gb grey) build quality is wonderful
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] androidjobe:
Really making a name for yourself as a troll... not sure what you are looking to achieve with that. Its really to bad too because you have some good things to say from time to time.

As you can see from my tag in still using it, really love it, has made work and home life easier in many respects, but the fact remains there is a quality difference. I have a third one on the way. If I can get a good pic you will be able to see why the manager of my local best buy ordered a replacement unit free of charge while lettering me hang on to this one.

Expect the pic this weekend third one should be here Friday.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
My issue is not with a defective piece but with the assumption that grey models are of inferior quality plus there are few who are making it a point to say thing but never back it up and I speak my mind whether any one likes it or not
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jonathanpeyton:
White 8113

I just assumed that the creaking was a sign of flexibility, Id rather have that than rigidity....

Ive always had Black (grey) phones and tabs. This is my first white. I love it. It makes it look more elegant IMO.

People do ask "Hows your IPad?" and I always answer that I wouldnt own an "I" anything.......
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dale_cooper:
Samir - you don't have the same model as 95% of people in this forum, right?

If multiple people in this thread think the white one is better build quality, chances are, it very well may be. I think there are alot of factors at play that maybe the white ones were either a revision in the manufacturing process or something, who knows, but theres somethign to it when people claim the white seems better built.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Again I would say this that only difference between white and grey is the change in casing so even if there is a desisgn change it will be in the casing are you trying to imply that samsung are building two qualities of tablet and low and one high and to differentiate they are in seprate colour and they forgot that and so mistakenly shipped them together and forgot to inform the local dealers about it and hence even though the grey one is an inferior device according to you and some other it was sold at the same price because samsung forgot about it
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] androidjobe:
You keep asking for everyone else to provide proof, where is yours? How do you know the only difference is the case?

I don't believe the case is the only difference. I strongly believe there are different motherboards for 16 v 32, and until I see someone tear 2 down I'm not going to believe otherwise. I do know, factually, that there is a whole line created by Samsung for demo only product units. So to think that geographically separate factories are shipping the exact same modules across Asia is unlikely as it would cut into profit.... but if hands off speculation is your thing, go for it, ill sit here with my 3 devices plus the 2 I compare them to too at the store.
