[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mottyengel:
As many of you know from personal experience, the galaxy note is extremely tough. I've seriously lost count how many times I've dropped it, hard, on concrete, marble tiles etc. And the screen hasn't cracked. At all.

I was shocked therefore to see the galaxy s3 drop tests. Minor drops seemed to shatter it easily. I was terrified that the note 2, which is really just a super sized s3 would be the same or worse. However...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kabuk1:
As far as I'm concerned, the GS3 test was biased. If I'm thinking of the right video(the iphone 5 vs. GS3 drop test vid), the guy was practically HURLING the GS3 & just dropping the iphone normally.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tha_King87:
Pretty strong phone for the most part, even my GSN suffer some abuse when I came to drops but no real impact marks or screen damage. But what really boggles my mind I don't even remember not once my stylus coming out, wonder how Samsung designed the slot for the stylus to stay in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] goresick:
I just dropped my note today, first serious drop I've had. The s-pen came out, I didn't get to see the angle of impact against the asphalt. It fell about 3ft. No damage to any part of the note, gotta love Otterbox Defender.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] spinky360:
If you dont have waranty open the phone ... detach the battery HOLD VOLUM + and plug USB . Should see it as an " ? Device ". If it see it that is ok. Plug back the battery and use the V+ + USB to try to power it up. And try to see if you have energy in the battery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheSidiO:
Xperia S comes with battery inside the phone, you sure you can remove it yourself?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tomfan203:
I think so, coz I used to disassemble electronics.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tomfan203:
I do hv warranty till next yr, but do I already vold my warranty by unlocked bootloader, flashed ROM n kernel ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krabappel2548:
Try this:

- Connect your XS to pc using USB cable

- Press volume up + power button for 15 seconds (untill the phone vibrates 1 time)

- hold volume up, now you should be in fastboot mode.

This should work for everyone who flashes a wrong kernel :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] spinky360:
Depends. I dont think so. Will suggest a full power off. Plug out battery, and with the battery out hold power button to eliminate all the power from capacitors. And after I will try to start it.

Do you have power?

Sent from Hell using Xperia-S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mharckk:
when you hold power button + volume up for 10 seconds does it vibrate?

if it does vibrate or not try this:

1. charge your phone for about 1 hour (doesnt need to have a led light),

2. i guess do u have flashtool already, download any firmware for your phone.

3. since your phone is not booting, once you have the necessary files and place the firmware on the folder of flashtool, (c:flashtool/firmware/your downloaded firmware),

4. open the flashtool then click the lightning icon and choose flashmode and choose your firmware, a tab will flash and say turn off your phone then connect via flashmode (whatsoever), then connect your phone via flash mode (power button + volume down), this will not connect immediately, what will you do is to push the power button+ volume up and wait until it vibrates 3 times, then after that push the power button+volume down, then the pc will detect your phone and flash the firmware, and then wait until it finish, once finished power on your phone. ( it happens to me also that my phone does not turning on and thats what i did).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tomfan203:
Just tried, not working as well...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] amaectpo:
Does Project Butter is work on 4.1.1 on Prime. On Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 worked more smoothly then Prime. I think Project Butter is off
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThiaiZ:
You mean on your Prime right ? Cause JB on my prime and many other users here it is working as the name says.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] texstar:
Everything is working wonderfully smooth on my Prime since the update to JB 4.1.1.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
I'll be honest, I only have a weeks worth of experience with Android and the ICS that came on this but smoothness, operability etc... I don't see a huge difference.

Not a complaint. I was fine with ICS and am fine JB. The only thing that seems to have truly changed is the fact that now I don't have the wierd video issue on the left edge in JB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slowatsch:
For me it feels like I save 0.5 seconds on every tap/action with JB, it adds up quite a lot if you use it often. It's certainly not a huge boost, but for me personally it was also fine before. Biggest boost for me is faster switching between apps, with ICA I had some apps which took quite some time to load again if I switched to "desktop"/ an other app.

Also if you feel no difference and you're not satisfied, try a factory reset, according to the feedback thread it does wonders to the performance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chantas:
Updated to JB and I also don´t think it´s more smooth....I heard that performing a factory reset does the trick! Im going to try it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] powerarmour:
If Project Butter is a v-sync'd 60fps transitions across the whole GUI, then no, I don't think it's quite that on JB on the Prime (just test it back to back against a Galaxy Nexus, you should notice the difference in frame rate)

But... it's still miles better than ICS was on the Prime, and it's mostly smooth in anywhere that counts anyway tbh.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrCapcom:
Its smooth here but I will say I have NEVER done a factory reset and my Prime worked great but this time since its the what 2nd major OS update I updated to JB and then did a factory reset so I would do it. :angel:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] southpaw930:
I've done the factory reset and I have to agree. I'm a little disappointed that this doesn't perform as well as as JB on my Nexus 7. That device just feels like it puts my Prime to shame. It was quicker after the reset but even in performance mode it's not as snappy as the Nexus 7 which is disappointing since in performance mode the Prime has a higher clock speed. They both have the same number of pixels so I wonder if it has to do with the size of the screen. You'd figure since they are made by the same company on basically the same hardware that Asus would be able to have this perform just as well as the Nexus 7.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] amaectpo:
Yes with JB Prime more faster and smoother then ICS. But Nexus 7 more faster and more smoother. Nexus 7 and Prime have simular hardware, but Nexus more more and more faster and smoother. My Galaxy Nexus with low hardware ( two core) more faster and smoother then Prime with simular resolution
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brainimpact:
what you mean off? I'm sure project butter is just code change in JB to make it faster and smoother if codes not used then it simply cant be 4.1.x can it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Revelation_Space:
I haven't really noticed any difference either. I occasionally feel like there's the tiniest hint of a speed increase, but then I just wonder if I'm only noticing it because I'm looking for it. Haven't done a factory reset, but then I never even filled half of my 64Gb of storage. I was planning on resetting after the update, but now I can't root and so can't backup all my apps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kerapil:
user experience is better. i had ics with build.prop tweaks and JB is as fast as that without tweaks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lineager:
The big difference on JB is the speed of installing apps from Google Play. No more laggy as ICS
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratman6161:
At first, I just accepted the OTA and let it update itself. Honestly, after that it was better - but I was disappointing that there wasn't a bigger improvement. So I went ahead and did a factory reset and that seemed to make a big difference for me - for the better. I did lose root along the way and have not been able to get it back. But I would say that after the factory reset, it was definitely noticeably more smooth and responsive than it was under ICS even though under ICS I was rooted and had all apps I didn't want frozen with Titanium backup.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mothman0:
I finally got updated to JB last night (after much hassle), and I instantly noticed that everything is much snappier, smoother, just generally quicker. Opening/closing apps, moving between home screens, scrolling content, etc, is all much nicer for me now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yuhfhrh:
Project butter is on, but the transformer prime itself is just a tad bit laggy, which is probably what you are noticing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Thom4s:
For me with ICS everything was ok. There were some slowdowns but nothing serious. Browsing was ok. No ANR's except when downloading torrents or something, then everything was slow and had lots of ANR's but just pressing 'wait' on the ANR and everything went ok.

Right now with JB I have noticed that it's not really smoother, it's the same. The widgets sometimes don't load or take like a second to load. In ICS widgets came instantly with the homescreen. When browsing, it's slower to have multiple tabs loading. When downloading torrents everything is REALLY slow and totally UNUSABLE. It was very slow with ICS but still usable.

So actually for me, I didn't see any advancement. I don't understand because everybody is so happy. I really like the tablet I'm just frustrated why it's so bad at multitasking ... why can't it just give priority to the task in focus and let the task in the background go slower? Also it has 4 cores and create stunning graphics and games, it can load maps and all kinds of textures as fast as consoles, why not a simple interface? This just boggles my mind.

I had stock ICS.

I upgraded to JB and then did a factory reset and reinstalled all my aps.

Was ICS just good with me for some reason or is JB that bad with me for some reason?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dadonjig:
I think my prime is way better on JB. The benchmarks are close to ICS, but because of the smoothness of JB the user XP is worth it.

No factory reset, restored root with voodoo root keeper. I have sympathy for those who are having problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jochman:
Project butter is running as default. There is no way (as I know) to turn it off.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vincepasky:
Hi,

I was on stock launcher on ICS because I thought JB would bring me the buttery smoothness it promised... but it didn't. It runs smoother, especially in stock browser, but the animations when killing and opening applications isn't "buttery" smooth. I don't want to turn off those animations because I think they would look nice at 60 fps. The weird thing is killing an application from within another application is way smoother than from the home screen hence my question: What launcher do you use since the JB update and does it make everything smooth on the Home screen? (including the animations when opening and closing applications).

So far, I've tried the following:

Nova launcher (my favorite so far but has the same problem as the stock one)

Apex launcher (not as smooth as stock or Nova)

Go launcher (looks bad imo and not really smoother)

Launcher Pro (It is smooth for opening and killing applications but the page transition is laggy and icons look bad)

Holo Launcher (not that smooth either)

..... some others I can't remember, but none were perfect.

I've also tried the Force GPU rendering in the Dev. options which doesn't seem to make a difference and change the 3 animation scales to .5x instead of 1x which makes the sketchiness less noticeable but doesn't fix it.

TL/DR: What is your TF700 Launcher after Jellybean update and does it make the animations from killing and opening applications buttery smooth (60 fps).
[Asus Transformer TF700] chugger93:
Nova launcher, animations set to fast. Dev options set to .5

Buttery smooth....not sure what the issue is with your setup
[Asus Transformer TF700] vincepasky:
I re installed Nova and tried those setting and it makes things better. Thank you. Did you notice what I was talking about on stock launcher tho? The animations being sketchy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] chugger93:
not really...my stock launcher is pretty smooth too. :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I made this for myself. But I thought there might be another Oriole fan in the Android universe who might enjoy it.

Originally I did the black carbon fiber but last night I decided to make it more orange.

It's formatted for the 960 pixel screen height so it'll look best at that resolution. But a friend put it on his Galaxy SIII with the much larger screen and it looked pretty clean there without any pixelation or distortion. So if you're finding this from a Google search and you have a different phone, try it out. It should look okay.

Full disclosure, all of the elements are taken from the internet. (The carbon fiber background and the logo). I just mixed them together.

All right, no phone is perfect.

Anyone found any quirks and workarounds that they want to cry about?

I have very few right now.

It is a bit annoying how little internal memory we have, especially since I don't think apps2sd works?

I find the back cover kind of a pain to snap on. (white)

I just grabbed paladog off the market, which I played a lot on the note 1.(free in Samsung apps in note 1,but the market has a newer version). I have to admit it feels really weird playing it now with the new Lower resolution. It feels..... Squished.

I think that's it so far - I had a lot more with the note 1 but the note 2 took care of most of them.
[Galaxy Note II General] wonsanim:
App2sd is not working?:confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] Magnus3D:
Althought i don't yet own the device :( i have read in the manual that the pen tip is not a replaceable one on the S-Pen so when it wears out you have to buy a new pen. This is a poor decision done by Samsung considering the S-Pen on the Note 10.1 has replacable pen tips.

I noticed that Facebook remains in memory even after you close it or not it ever opened.

There is a patch to close it completely or do not open automatically?
[Asus Transformer TF700] xcal321:
It's not only the Facebook app, many apps do the same. They start up at boot or other actions. They either remain running (as a service or otherwise) too keep you up to date (notification).

Other than uninstalling, you can use a tool like System Tuner. I think you need root for this. In its task manager, select a process, then scroll the list on the right side down to Receivers. Uncheck the triggers you want to disable. This can potentially render your app unusable, so be careful what you disable.

An alternative, if you do not use the app, but still keep it or cannot install it (useful for apps that came with your ROM) is to freeze them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
This might be kind of a hassle.

If you tap on the recent apps list.

Long tap the Facebook app it will give 2 options.

1 is remove from list

2 is app info

Tap app info

Then force close

Some say swiping from the recent apps list closes the service.

I don't believe it does.

At least this may be a way to shut Fbook down.

There's a lot of info about closing down applications on the Google Android developer blogs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
Thanks for the reply. My TF700 is root!

The application I would not freeze it because sometimes I use it.
