[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] UgloBuglo:
Ok, on my Galaxy Note i run pure CM10 with screen density 213, and there I have 7 different lock screen shortcuts.

On my Galaxy Tab 7.7 I run latest Paranoid Android with screen density 160, but here I only get to set 4 lock screen shortcuts. Is there any way to get 7 here as well?

I think I once did something special to get the 7 shortcuts on the N7000, but for my life I can't remember what... :confused:

Have tried to change the screen density several times without success.

Anyone who can point me in the right direction?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] UgloBuglo:

Hey there.

Sorry if there is a post already about this but I tried to use the search function but apparently it does not work at the moment.

I was just wondering if there is any way to install custom themes to our solas. What I am really interested in is going removing the extra backgrounds presented in the dialer and messaging apps. Hope there's a simple way to do this through root.:fingers-crossed: Cheers!
[HTC One X] Doorman404:
Ok, I've got a problem here,

I really need to send the device back to HTC, but

I'm using a custom rom. I looked for the RUU I need

but it seems it hasn't been released.

What can I Do?

If i'll just flash some Sense Rom, Will HTC notice ?
[HTC One X] olivertan92:
I am also interested in flashing my phone to stock version and found the proper guide.

My question is how do i know which RUU to download? there is 1.26,1.28 and 1.29.

and for stock recovery. do we use;

3. Stock Recovery : 1.28 http://db.tt/6mACNeqS OR 2.17 : http://db.tt/gAACW2TN thnx to @mike
[HTC One X] meleelord:
To find the ruu you need type fastboot getvar version-main while in fastboot usb mode. It shall then give you the version you need. When it comes to recovery I would go with the earlier version just to be sure.

The warranty that you get when you make the purchase should cover the device. It should not matter really what you have installed on there as it should not affect whatever you are experiencing.

I would recommend searching the forums for discussions on this matter of warranty as I have only had brief glimpses in these discussions.
[HTC One X] JMT668:
I have the same issue. Just smashed my screen and need to send the phone back but its running CM10. The email they sent me says that they will install all the latest updates so woul they just return it to stock and fix the screen?
[HTC One X] Michealtbh:
Accidental damage isn't covered by warranty
[HTC One X] Doorman404:
HTC clearly say, If you unlock your bootloader, the warranty is off.

and I want them to fix the Wifi problem, which is a factory hardware problem

so I hope they won't mind.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damstas:
When browsing on the Internet, and pressing the home button the whole touchwiz loads again. Is this because im using all the ram when im browsing?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindol81:
If by loading again you mean that you only see your wallpaper and then icons and widgets starts appearing again.. Then this is called redraw and yes is a ram management issue..

To avoid it some suggest Supercharger v6 or bestMultitaskingFix
[Galaxy Note II General] Roybenz:
Is anyone else bothered with dust packing in around the little gap around the screen? Best seen in light. And only visible on the grey.
[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:
The blue s3 had the same problem (I've got a white note 2 after reading about this problem).
[Galaxy Note II General] 05GT:
I just use a little detailing brush every other day or so on my Pebble blue S3 to handle that. One of the downfalls to not selecting the white model.
[Galaxy Note II General] Bholwell:
YES, I too see it, being quite particular it really annoys me! I just use a very fine make up brush (not mine obviously!!) that seems to do the trick.
[Galaxy Note II General] Roybenz:
I had to change to white because of it :o
[Galaxy Note II General] Psyklon:
Whats seen cannot be unseen, dammit!

Didnt notice it until now. Should've never read this thread :crying:
[Galaxy Note II General] riz157:
had mine for 2 weeks bought from handtec. Just noticed the dust issue and slight gap between the top body and screen, plenty of dust so I've decided to return it for another grey one. tempted to get white but I know I will regret it few days after so sticking to grey as it looks much better.
[Galaxy Note II General] RavenY2K3:
Cant see one spec of dust in mine, but surely switching to a white will make it show up more?
[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:
I have a white note 2 since september 29th and no dust on it that I can see
[Galaxy Note II General] Hell Guardian:
god dang it, i was about to get the Grey version (its costs 60$ more) as i know the white version turns yellow after use! but damn it seems everyone agrees that this problem only happen with the grey version, this is sad as i really like it :/

can anyone please post a picture of the dust?
[Galaxy Note II General] allmine1976:
I haven't got any :)
[Galaxy Note II General] americasteam:
Me either. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] achusaysblessyou:
Anyone got a pic?
[Galaxy Note II General] technonerd92:
I just got my Note 2 titanium grey today. I saw it too, around the corner. Will use it for another day to see if it gets worse. Any idea why it is affecting the Grey model only?

Edit: It is most definetly my scratch guard. Not the dust. Sorry for the wrong info. But I am still curious could anyone post a pic?
[Galaxy Note II General] sumeshd:
No problem here..using it since 4 days..and in very dusty environment...
[Galaxy Note II General] AirSupply:
Can anyone post a pic?
[Galaxy Note II General] RavenY2K3:
I really don't buy the fact, that it happens on a particular coloured device, it's the exact same phone! Just a different colour, if it happens to X it'll happen to Y.

It's not like the white ones have a differently designed front where it doesn't have the gap, they are both the same. If dust does get in there, you'll only see/notice the dust that gets contrasted by the colour of the phone, lighter colours would show up more on the grey, where as darker colours should show up more on the white.
[Galaxy Note II General] kersh:
I have the dust "problem", but I don't care as don't affect the screen and it is almost invisible.
[Galaxy Note II General] Roybenz:
It's less visible on the white. I've had blue s3 and white s3 same issue with them.

There is variable gaps on the grey also, I've had 2 Grey. Take a paper and drag across the gap. Does it fall in you will get dust filling up. The good thing about the white one is that dust is not so visible.
[Galaxy Note II General] whmcal:
For me, this will be minor issue. Note 1 has the same. Taking a sheet of paper and sliding it gently through the gaps helps remove dust. Can hardly see it. imo despite picking up fingerprints like crazy, grey seems like the classiest colour.

I like things staying pristine but gosh, if I were going to worry about eg. possible dust build up between keys on pc keyboard, would go nuts! Gotta accept, its gonna happen. Hopefully casemate or others will produce a tough case that covers these gaps.

Honestly, i expect a for 600 Eur device to be properly sealed. I can see myself brushing my teeth on daily basis but brushing my phone ...It does not sound to inviting.
[Galaxy Note II General] :
What do you mean? Turning yellow? That made my inside turn around. The yellow tint on my SGSII almost drove me insane when it was new, then I got over it. I would literally cry if I saw a major fault with my Note II.
[Galaxy Note II General] lingamkrishnan:
Please dont disappoint me!! I came to note 2 from note 1 only because of Black clipping issue and thinking that Note 2 will be having zero issues!! but now!! :confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] yokuoh:
Sounds like this is being blown up out of proportion :)

Very, very occasional dust at top of screen frame can be cleaned out with the corner of a piece of paper.

I've only had it once.

No big deal, it just annoys the OCD in everyone.

If it was dust under the screen, then I'd be pissed off.
[Galaxy Note II General] j89:
I agree.. Come'on guys what's with this fuss about dust. If it's there, it will gather somewhere. Maybe you should all keep the phone inside a dust proof drawer and never take it out :P
[Galaxy Note II General] Kiahnlliya:
I have dust there too. I don't care about it. If I'm out and about and get hungry I can make a nice snack of it, just gather it with a toothpick and no more hunger. Think of it as a feature.
[Galaxy Note II General] j89:
Is S-Pen supported or is tooth pick only? I guess the next version then :p
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
Noticed it about a week ago...i used a razor and got it all out :)
[Galaxy Note II General] riz157:
Don't buy the white man go for grey its much better.
[Galaxy Note II General] jreuschl:
So is this dust only around say the speaker port and the corners, or does this dust actually get in the physical screen area?
[Galaxy Note II General] achusaysblessyou:
Around the frame of the device, not inside the screen (like my Sensation)
[Galaxy Note II General] froidy:
I had a Sensation as a work phone....glad I left that job....what a DOG of a phone! The camera was the best part the battery was the worst, lasted me around 3-4 hours with light use....swore off HTC for life, Note II for me ;)

Yeah, it's about time I moved on from mines :p. But since the ICS release and some custom ROMs, gave new life from the old buggy Gingerbread version of the phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] riz157:
Got my dusty grey replaced and this is much better. The awful gap is no more on this one and no dust.:)
[Galaxy Note II General] Sobakel:
What kind of dust are you guys talking about? I have a Note 2 in pre order, might switch to white if it is annoying. Can anyone provide details or pictures?
[Galaxy Note II General] achusaysblessyou:
4 pages of this and no pictures? Please someone post pics, I swear, I'll give thanks :p
[Galaxy Note II General] riz157:
Dust between the screen and body, it's due to the gap.

However I think it was an issue with the first batch of grey. I've had mine replaced and absolutely no issue with grey.

[Galaxy Note II General] mariol66:
I seem to have the dust issue on mine. at the bottom of the bezel particularly. also the top of the bezels makes a clicking noise when applied pressure as if its loose. I contacted handtec to see if they'll send a replacement. I was part of the first patch as well.
[Galaxy Note II General] sz1a:
Mine does the clicky noise on top too but its almost unnoticable.

[Galaxy Note II General] lingamkrishnan:
Someone please post the picture of the screen with dust!! Can Screen protector prevent the phone from this dust issue?
[Galaxy Note II General] littleguevara:
Its difficult to post pictures of. Either you notice it or dont.

A screen protector doesnt help or prevent it because the dust collects inbetween the screen and bezel.
[Galaxy Note II General] kastafela:
I wonder why the dust in the top only. :confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] MadfishGTB:
I've had mine 2 weeks now and the is no dust at all and no gap between screen and bezel.

I've tried pushing the top of the phone and these is no movement or clicking noises.

I wonder if it was just a small batch of grey gn2's that were affected?
[Galaxy Note II General] Hendrickson:
Its called a vacuum and with the brush extension. Gets rid of it in a second.
[Galaxy Note II General] gabster21:
I also noticed a bit of dust between the screen and the edge. I used to have the same issue with my GNex, however after a few weeks it stopped happening. Hope this will be the case for the Note 2 as well!
[Galaxy Note II General] riz157:
I think it was the initial first batch but since it's been fine.

---------- Post added at 07:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 AM ----------

I would recommend you return your handset if the dust is due to gap between bezel and screen as there should not be any gap. I only noticed the gap after close inspection had mine replaced straight away.
[Galaxy Note II General] Roybenz:
I've Had one white and one Grey with big gap on top of screen. Can fit a visa card in the gap.
[Galaxy Note II General] cabessius:
+1, titanium grey here and no dust nor gap.
[Galaxy Note II General] diehard2222:
Yep no dust here either. Using the grey one.
[Galaxy Note II General] riz157:
Return it mate.
[Galaxy Note II General] DamBadz:
It that a problem when I can put somthing on the top of screen ?
[Galaxy Note II General] yokuoh:
I really can't believe the OCD in this thread.

Funny.

There's nothing to worry about. I could only see dust if I put the phone under a magnifying glass - and then it may not be there...

There's no more or less dust than any other phone - anybody who says otherwise is being dramatic.

Best phone I've ever had!

Love it!

:good:
[Galaxy Note II General] whmcal:
I take back my original post. Indeed there IS a manufacturing/design issue on several phones. There is more than an 'acceptable' gap between the bezel and glass. I found an approx 2 mm gap around area of power button. Bezel actually looked raised / badly seated. Below this power button area, the bezel was almost flush with glass and even. This fault only came to my attention when applying my screen protector.

I have exchanged my phone at carphone warehouse uk. Retailer was kind enough to allow me to visually examine 2 other phones before purchase...one of which had the issue ( in a different location - wide gap at top right corner under bezel).

Advised by retailer to log fault with Samsung ...which I will do.
[Galaxy Note II General] Hell Guardian:
guys for god sake someone post a picture! i will be getting my phone TODAY and i really need to see that problem to know what you guys are talking about in the shop before i take it home!

1 million dollars to the first guy to post a picture of the problem!

[Galaxy Note II General] Hell Guardian:
oh my that's horrible

i can't thank you enough

now i will just have to live with it as samsung didnt bother to care for its production lines after these faults in the S3 :crying:
[Galaxy Note II General] wekebu:
Ugh, I would hate that spacing too. It's probably on the white ones, but the contrast between white dust and white phone is too low to notice.
[Galaxy Note II General] Roybenz:
That's true. I have a white now and it's not visible. It was awful on the Grey.
[Galaxy Note II General] mariol66:
yes on the grey, atleast for me, the dust seems to gather on the bottom part of the bezel. Though not as bad as the link to that blue sgs3 lol. I went out and bought compressed air just use that once a week and youll be ok.
[Galaxy Note II General] whmcal:
Mario166 - good idea!

The gap that I had around the power button on my (returned) note 2 was a good 1mm wider than that shown on the S3 photos. Apologies. Wish I took a photo of the gap for you guys before returning it.

Edit: Here's a less severe example of gap/ unevenly seated bezel - visible on left hand side of the Note 2 photo in this thread. It gets gradually wider, progressing from the middle of the device down to the bottom left corner where it is at it's widest. I photo 1, there also appears to be a slight a widening on right hand side approaching the power button: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1956018 (Sorry to op of that thread -audio09)

Here are some pics. Considering sending this back too. Let me know what you guys think?

Also notice the ear speaker, is that normal?
[Galaxy Note II General] Roybenz:
That's not too bad. Mine was way worse. You will risk getting one that's even worse than the one you have now.
[Galaxy Note II General] riz157:
Is the speaker normal?
[Galaxy Note II General] Roybenz:
It's reflecting the screen. Visible on the Grey only.

That looks just like the very pricey screensaver now being offered by Steinheil/Spigen for Note 2 users...beautiful

As for the bezel gap, I agree that there is an issue with yours but I have seen lots worse. If you are exchanging, make sure that you check the new one in the box b4 you accept. Assuming you bought it on the high street, any reasonable retailer should allow you to examine the replacement Note 2 before you accept.
[Galaxy Note II General] DarkPhoenix:
Thank you for the pics. That would make me crazy!
[Galaxy Note II General] allseason:
Luckily I got the white one, but just for my colour preference not due to the dust issue. It does look quite annoying from the photo.
[Galaxy Note II General] sz1a:
Lol +2 on the OCD! I don't see the problem you guys are seeing! Maybe that's because I look ON the screen and not above it ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
I get what the OP means. There is a bigger gap in between the screen and the bezel on the top of the phone compared to the bottom of the phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] riz157:
Had to return it to Handtec in the end for a refund. Could see led notification reflection between the gap.

When I informed the customer representative he was shocked and said that's defective. I've had it for 10days expect full refund?

Might wait a week or so before I order again.

Now I'm using Xperia T until I get another replacement.
[Galaxy Note II General] SKeijmel:
My gray one is perfectly fine
[Galaxy Note II General] naimmkassim:
I also had those gap..but no dust inside because i never put my note 2 inside me pocket without protector of external hdd cover as in picture..i use it since note 1..learn from mistake last time when i own htc sensation :(
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
Is this really an issue or is there a phone out there without the small gap?
[Galaxy Note II General] ericshmerick:
Dust is in pockets. People put phones in pockets. Dust gets in gaps. It shows on dark phones. People get OCD about it and call it a defect. They return the phone, resulting in higher prices for all in the long run.

Its pretty funny, actually. Your pocket lint isn't a manufacturing defect. Get a white phone and pretend its not defective because you cannot easily see lint in the gap.
[Galaxy Note II General] jlczl:
It IS an issue IF you have OCD. If you don't, it isn't.
[Galaxy Note II General] Dioscorus:
guys, not a biggie... get a case and you won't even see it... not worth giving up the beautiful brushed titanium imo. really makes the phone. white looks cheap as usual, just imo
[Galaxy Note II General] UCLAKoolman:
I agree, the white phone looks cheap compared to the titanium. Cleaning dust off of something every once in a while is no big deal.
[Galaxy Note II General] Kawaisa:
You're bound to see more dust and fingerprints on the grey. Get the white version if it bothers you. Facts of life. Nuff said.
[Galaxy Note II General] slpjcool:
Most Def. The Titanium Grey is too beautiful to give up. Dust? Pfff.... Just clean it up every once in a while, Dust gone! :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] paris.gr:
No offence to anyone but I agree that it is a big issue. Not the dust of course but OCD! :)
[Galaxy Note II General] wtfshouldidonow:
My grey one doesn't have any of those gaps. Bought mine here in cagayan de oro city :D I used a magnifying glass under the sun to confirm this. Really happy :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Provinomico:
Mine didn't have a speck for the first two weeks, but now it's starting to get some here and there. It's a shame, but as it's been said, you just clean it regularly and move on.

On the white model might not be as noticeable, but then, I guess as time passes and phone get used, dirt signs will show first (at least that was the history with the white iphone vs. black)
[Galaxy Note II General] naimmkassim:
Our surrounding is fill with dust..if u really getting feedup with the dust, just get something to cover it..either use protector or even a plastic bag if really have too.. ;)

I have one spot that looks like the pictures, bottom left hand corner. I'm OCD and it's driving me nuts, the place I bought it from is out of Grey right now though so either I get white (which I don't think I'll like) or wait til next week.

Or just move to another planet :p
[Galaxy Note II General] flez1966:
does this dust get in the phone, under the glass? onto the lcd? or are you on about the little groove around the glass/case fitting?
[Galaxy Note II General] whmcal:
The latter. However, on some phones the little groove is not equally 'little' right around. One side or upper/ lower part of phone would have noticeably bigger gap. My first phone had 1 mm gap on 95% of phone and then a 2-2.5 mm gap on one side.

As a self-confessed clean freak, i would consider anywhere but uranus ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] flez1966:
How big a gap!!!!

I have virtually 0 its thinner than my finger nail and equal on all sides

I hate to say that if some have large gaps, but to be honest I'd think a large gap may protect the screen in a fall
[Galaxy Note II General] matt310:
It's the same issue as the GS3...dust gets in the gap between the screen and frame and settles down into it. A toothbrush, compressed air, a piece of paper - all can help remove it, but in my case, even after all those attempts, dust remained. Here are some photos:

It seems, in my case, that the dust is actually stuck under the glass, perhaps to the adhesive or something. I used a q-tip wet with rubbing alcohol to try dislodging the dust, or glue, and that didn't help. I have a feeling all Samsung devices have this issue but it's more noticeable on the blue, grey and black models because dust particles seem to be a lighter color.

In the end, it's a design flaw. The Nokia next to the GS3 is three times as old and not a spec is in any place that can't be wiped off. I have a feeling most phones are like the Samsung, to varying degrees. If I could take the insides from the GS3 and put them into a Lumia, I'd be one happy camper. As it stands, for the price I paid for the Sammy, it's a big of a letdown that dust settles in there so easily. It's like having a big, beautiful house with gutters overflowing from wet leaves and mud. Most won't see, but unfortunately I'm not among that lucky group.
