First the bashing and flaming of each other will stop.

And to belittle or point out someone's language that may not be their main language is also bashing and it will STOP. Instead ask for clarification if you do not understand users posts, if you are going to address the post in a providing manner, if not, then do not address it at all...but if this back and forth continues, it will result in infractions with possible banning. That is not a threat, but a statement of warning. For those who consider them self's more educated in the Tech portion of these devices, why not provide some knowledge in a polite manner, without bashing and or flaming.

Thank You

Your Note II have surely a hardware problem, on mine, white is white and very bright. The only annoyance is the phone is too bright at night and auto brightness is not continuous but switch by step.

Screen burn

Slightly off topic, but watch out for screen burn on your Note's AMOLED.

My S2 got really bad screen burn from having Navigation on for so many hours at full brightness driving in the car around Europe. If I view a white page now I can see a blue vertical bar down the right hand side (and two smaller squares on the left that are exactly the same as on the Navigation screen).

It is definitely screen burn - can flash a new ROM even and it is still there. I am running MIUI on it now and have the colours inverted on Navigation to try to balance it back out (4 presses of the home button). You might have thought only CRTs can suffer from this but AMOLEDs can too.

Best to switch your screen off if there is a good distance to the next instruction.
[Galaxy Note II General] Jamal Ahmed:
That, is a point, in which we shall relish, brother :) because non-pentile display in Note II has a much much lesser chance to burn in (not my opinion, there were several articles about it on The Verge/Engadget, search it) :)

Btw i have Note I too, and no yellow tint :o so its not a must in all pieces...
[Galaxy Note II General] dugald5:
I guess the principle is that on a pentile screen the green subpixels have more work to do and will burn out quicker. the burn is actually 'tired' pixels not displaying as brightly as before. However, my S2 (that got screen burn) isn't pentile - it is RGB. Presumably that makes the Note 2 similarly susceptible.

Not that most users would have any problems - I just didn't realise there was any harm in driving lots of hours on max brightness on a (mostly) unchanging screen.

Dug

EDIT: just read this article: http://www.mobileburn.com/19548/new...ed-displays-last-longer-thats-why-we-use-them

which is basically Samsung saying than non-pentile screens are actually MORE prone to burn than pentile screens. So be careful!
[Galaxy Note II General] kersh:
The burn-in screens are not for pentile but for amoled technology, I think that uses phosphor and that it is the guilty

My S pentile, S2 No pentile and note pentile suffered burn-in and it started about 4 or 5 months after using it.

Hi,

i have a problem With my HD2.

i have magldr installed with wp7 and android nativesd dual booting. It happens that wp7/android reboots by otself and it doesNt boot anymore.its like its trying to boot but it reboots while booting. Many times it actualy resets all data so i have to set up all settings and activate system again. Its awkward. Anyone know a solution?

Also, if i leave it to "cool" overnight, it boots to wp7 in 1st or 2nd try.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Sounds like you may have a over heating problem and if so you will have to change out the PCB board to fix it.
[HD2 General] miHah:
yeah, I figured out that by myself :) Its funny because I just fixed my phone (new pcb) - I tried two of them, one wasn't booting at all -.- kinda hate HTCs spare parts :D

thank you for your help anyway!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyleo:
Hi

I bought the Note 10.1 with 16 GB memory thinking that I will be able to move the APPS to the external 32 GB memory I had installed. However APP2SD tells me that "the device does not have a real primary external storage or the primary storage is emulated".

I set the install location as 2 through the SDK adb devices command prompt screen. Still I am not getting the option to transfer the APPS to the SD card.

Can someone tell me whether this option can be activated or is it blocked by Samsung. I am able to transfer the APPS to external storage in my HTC Desire phone with ICS update
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
oh wow, apps2sd doesn't work on the Galaxy S3.

I hope that's not the case for the GN2. Can anyone else confirm?

On my Note 1, I'm currently using Directory bind: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410262

to move stuff off that apps2sd doesn't work with, but it requires root.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/treat-your-sd-card-as-your-real-external-storage-with-swapsd/

is another option, but I'd hate to use that. Internal memory should be much faster than external card memory.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RehaCk:
Wrong forum? :P

Take a look in the note 10.1 forum, under Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development. There are 2 guides how to move your apps to sd. Though you need root for both i suppose!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
And that is the exact reason Google doesn't want OEM's to include expandable storage. When apps are moved to the SD card, they are unable to sync correctly with the OS. SD cards will be a thing of the past within 2 years...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gutsukyo:
Unable to apps to micro sd card.

I have the GN2, and I can confirm that moving apps to the sd card is not possible. Is there some other program that's needed in order to make moving apps to the sd possible? And advice would be much appreciated.

Instead of starting another thread, I would also like to know the answer to this as I just received my note 2 and I cannot move apps to sd card.

Anyone know of someway to use Bluetooth in any car stereo by the use of adding a Bluetooth receiver or something to the auxilliary port? I've messed my up my port on my phone before and I don't wanna do it again with my refurb :o. I listen to a lot of music...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Troute:
You could plug an FM transmitter into the headphone socket and tune the car radio to it if that's any help, those things are very cheap these days and you can get them integrated into car chargers..

[Nexus 7 Accessories] spongers:
Belkin makes a product for this. Two of them in fact. Look it up on belkins website under the iPhone in car section.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] aristoc:
If you're willing to replace your head unit, search these forums for mention of the JVC KD-X50BT. Its a nice Bluetooth receiving head unit that apparently has some pretty decent sound. Reasonably priced, too! I plan on picking one up soon to use with my nexus.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

The belkin, if its the cheap one we're both talking about, apparently has awful sound quality. Maybe the second of the two is better.

Always check reviews, just ignore the idiots lol :)

I remember looking on ebay and seeing what looked like a bluetooth box thing that connected through the aux port.

ie this: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/iKross-Bluet...ltDomain_0&hash=item51a218fae1#ht_2983wt_1032

For a simpler idea, cant one just use a male to male cable to connect it?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] fiendskillz:
i just bought this and recieved it today..

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00727FE5U/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00

its great, no loss in sound quality, easy charging and easy pairing, small with short cord, comes with an adapter so you can also connect it to stereos/tvs/etc.., also has good BT range.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] afrojoc:
Oh thanks this is exactly what I was looking for! Can you easily switch the chord out with a longer one?

Do an ebay search for "bluetooth receiver", you'll find all kinds of devices. As for how well they work, well, let us know. :laugh:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ual4720:
You can try the flexsmart x2. It has a line out and line in jack. It is charger and Bluetooth as well. If you plug the line out to the head auxiliary jack then hook the device up through Bluetooth, you won't have to keep unplugging and plugging in. It could potentially work through Bluetooth.

I would try it, bit my car radio doesn't have an auxiliary jack though. Ill see If I can figure out a way to test it and report back.

Im using the HTC Stereo Clip. Awesome device. A little pricey but I think worth it because it does sound like it's directly plugged into the device.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] nooomoto:
I use the Stereo Clip as well. I've found that battery life on it sucks, so to remedy that I have it constantly plugged into a car charger. This works for me because both my AUX port and a charging port are inside my center console, so they are both hidden from view. Otherwise, you have to recharge it every 2 days or so.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
How long do you have it connected? What's your bt device play time? I guess I don't use the clip enough in a shot to really compare. But I have been happy with it and I too, have it constantly plugged into my car charger.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] afrojoc:
I like some of these that I see here. The GoGroove has pretty decent reviews but can it charge while I use it in my car? Anything that I won't have to take out of my car to charge and has pretty decent audio quality will do. Also if it sleeps on its own when a Bluetooth device isn't connected to it. Really just needs to not be so much of a hassle to use and be reliable.

[Motorola Droid 3] padevoto:
hi to everyone!

I need your help to resolve a simple issue.

I'm using Safe Boot Menu, I've installed safestrap recovery v2.10 on my Droid 3, the phone have SAFE BOOT MENU enabled, I've installed AOKPS ICS on secondary filesystem and I want to toggle SAFE BOOT MENU and replace the original stock filesystem with the secondary partition.

How can I do it?

I need some solucions to commit the changes mades on secondary filesystem.

Thanks to everybody!
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
Safestrap is not designed to "commit" changes as you are looking to do. Rather it keeps two seporate file systems in place and allows you to change between them via the Safe Boot Menu (Safe Mode Enabled being your secondary OS, Safe Mode Disabled being your primary OS).

From the posts I have seen from Hashcode the new version will allow you to overwrite your Non-Safe OS (Safe Mode Disabled). At this point you may be able to do something similar to what you want by creating a backup, then applying the backup to the Non-Safe OS. However that is just me speculating, until we see the new version only Hash would be able to answer that.

So for now you cannot do what you are looking to do.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Just switch to the nonsafe system, uninstall the Safestrap bootloader, load the regular CWM recovery that came out before Safestrap (forget name), flash or backup or whatever you need to do, uninstall that, then reinstall Safestrap, switch to safe system, and done.

Could anyone who understands the inner workings of the CM and chopsticks crews shed some light on the bug resolution process.

I'm particularly interested in the bluetooth audio problems when making or receiving a call on the cars BT system. Seems it's wide spread and discussed on many threads but I've never seen it mentioned outside of forums like XDA and other Android user forums. Do you think it is on their list? Can someone post a link to a bug reporting site. I have bugzilla but I think thats for the AOKP roms .

I also use the Bluetooth in my car and would like for someone to post any way on how to fix it. I'm using orthus 3 ROM works great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
If there was a fix it would be widely known already. From what roger_n posted in the Paranoid Android thread (I think it was that one) the issue is in audio routing, not BT audio, and needs to be fixed by a core CM dev, as it's not skyrocket specific.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stoopendis:
So the fact that it's been around so long is because these core CM devs are super busy..or are they even aware there IS a problem, or is it just low pri.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I can't speak for the devs, but I do believe it's a time issue, not that they don't know about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stoopendis:
Well here's hoping they find the solution soon. I'm a little concerned about a work-around I've heard about where you turn off the blue tooth and then back on after the initial connection....Very dangerous while driving. And costly too. Here In B.C. there's a $175 fine for fiddling with your cell phone while driving.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MasterDecker:
Most likely a low priority, as there is not a Samsung released JB rom for the Skyrocket.

I know it's lame, but what I ended up having to do in this issue was to even before I moved out of park I would disconnect and reconnect my BT. Often times though I found that just switching off the car radio (BT enabled Parrot Rythm-N-Blu), remove the face plate, count to 15 and put the face plate back on then turn the radio back on would do the "trick."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I can pull down the menu and toggle BT easier than I can dial a number while driving...and yes, Ontario has the same fines.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] charbar85:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] charbar85:
There's already similar posts on this. CM10 doesn't have the fix yet, if you want a working BT grab the official CM9 stable version - I've reverted back to as I have the same issue as you ie: car BT is a big deal for me.

How can I add wifi calling to a ROM? I remember back in my G2 days it was an APK I could simply install... but now this is more baked into the ROM.

I REALLY need it and have been dealing with their tech support to reset the "iHLR" settings. I've switched out my SIM but the TM number doesn't match what I've researched works best with Wifi calling.

And now my favorite ROM doesn't have wifi calling :crying: lol
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
WiFi calling on TMobile is terrible. I'm not sure if that was fixed in the latest update. As for porting the WiFi calling feature to other ROMs, it has not been done yet since TMobile has integrated it into the framework (and it works horrible so there is no incentive).
