[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugget:
Hey Rydo, yep I have rooted my phone now. I used CF Auto Root method and the plain GT-N7105 version package. What that guide doesn't say is that you need to wait until the COM box is yellow before attempting anything, otherwise your phone isn't connected with Odin. That was my mistake on the first attempt... yep n00b error. But I don't mind because I've only been using Android for 5 days, so I am a n00b. Haha. I also installed Kies on the PC I was using, let it install the USB drivers then uninstalled Kies.

EFS backup is a good tip, I used this method - super easy (seems much simpler than that other guide for GSIII) and although the guide is for N7100 it went fine on my N7105T: [TOOL]Backup/Restore EFS (IMEI) for SGNII

The only thing about rooting is that I'm not sure if it's possible to return the binary count to zero on our phones (which from what I've learnt I thought there were some methods where you can simply root and then still have a 0 binary count at the end of the process). Triangle Away does not want to work for me, I've heard from one user on the Whirlpool forums that it's something to do with the N7105T firmware. The solution is to flash plain N7105 firmware then run Triangle Away, but I don't know enough about that to be sure that the T firmware isn't needed for some reason... anyway I'll see what pans out as more Aussie users get hacking. Aussie telco's, eh? Fun times!

After having and S2 and gong to S3. I was happy with the jump. Not as big of a deal as original hope but it was nice. Going from the S3 to N2. Again not much of a change but wouldn't hesitate to do it again. SPen never really use but gaming on the screen is really nice. I can officially now get rid of my Xoom for cheap now.

Happy new year to all :)

It has been or more than a week... I'm still finding this device incredible. Especially after my hours of video play, battery is simply fit at all. Performance is far perfect. Two split window (Internet + Messaging) + VideoPlay popup and it can go loooong hours with that.

Just 10/10, size is perfect for who seek it particularly. I have completely left my daily agenda and started handwriting, it recognizes super fast and even understanding words that you can't read it.

Screen is beyond perfect...

This was the far best deal I've ever done for an electronic device. From my point of view; it's flawless...

(My 'smartphone' past: iPhone 2G -> 3G -> 3GS -> 4G -> Note -> Note II ;; So I can compare in many aspect)

Thanks for this thread,

Regards,

ive owned this phone for 2 months only, and currently i would still choose this phone over the other currently available phones. not sure if i would still say the same months from now, especially if note3 comes out.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armilpp:
I love everything about it..but one thing that i still can't do due to screen size, i can't text with 1 hand. Probably some of you who have giant hands can text with one hand..but me..nah..i can't. With the stock keyboard i have a hard time reaching over with my right thumb to touch the letter A, i end up having to use my other hand to hold the phone, or i use the one hand texting keyboard. Other than that, great phone.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Att.Fan1982:
Try using the swipe feature available on the Samsung keyboard as well as several other keyboards. Makes typing with one hand easy!

I don't have that problem because I can't text with one hand anyway lol.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamolah:
Try using the 'one-handed feature' Samsung provides with this phone
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
Both my brother and I are not tall people yet we can both type one handed lol. I think I have freakishly large hands? Perhaps its the way people hold their phones?

Anyway, I still love this phone a lot. Only thing is the little lag here and there lol. Negligible but noticeable (I'm picky :p )

Love it!

Really love it!

The size is just nice for me. I got large hands and I am an IT guy so it got features that is absolutely useful for my work not to mention for my personal use as well.

The only downside I got right now is the 4.1.2 update that totally raped my battery life.

Now the next gadget I am getting will be the official smart dock.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Ive been using it for 2 months now and I've yet to experience a better phone than the Note 2. And finally it has brought mankinds greed, to want more, at a halt...for the time being atleast.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sz1a:
I really like it. The novelty has definitely worn off and I appreciate for its basics now.

The screen is big which means its easy to type on. I usually liked physical qwerty keyboards but with the Note 2 they are obsolete. I hated typing on my S2.

The battery life is great. Whenever I need it I can be assured I have enough juice left to do what I need to do. This is a major flaw in most other phones.

The Spen is great for my purpose. I develop apps and whenever I get a new iteration from my programmer I can go through the app, take screen shots and annotate what changes I need made.

Even my 66 year old mom bought a Note 2! She came from a Series 40 Nokia phone with a 256 color screen. She tried the iphone 5 and found it way too small to type on. She might not use all the features but she can easily text, take photos, use the navigation when driving and access the internet when she travels.

I think the Note 2 is a GREAT all-arounder that comes to the rescue whenever needed. I reverted back from 4.1.2 because it deducted too much from this experience. I intend to stay on 4.1.1. indefinitely with the Perseus kernel to prevent the sudden death bug. :good:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugget:
After using the Note 2 for a little bit more I have noticed something strange in using the keyboard. I thought it would be somehow better to use with the haptic feedback, and you'd expect the larger screen to make it easier - but compared to my iPhone 4 I continue to make lots of typing errors. Thank goodness for SwiftKey otherwise it would make life really really frustrating. I don't know what it is about the iPhone keyboard, but just the simple click noise and the key spacing/touch areas seem to be dialled in perfectly. Maybe I just have to get used using a different keyboard...

The only thing I don't like is how s-note is quite laggy...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetpants:
Had it for 10 days now. Awesome device but coming from gnex the os feels disjointed and clunky in parts. I dislike that samsung seemingly have used all the colours of the rainbow throughout the os.

The device is outstanding. There are a bunch of features that are above and beyond vanilla android. I only hope that their merits can outweigh the cumbersome ui.

Love the size, screen, battery, performance and features. Dont like the UI (and am surprised by sucky cam and wakeup lag when compared to gnex).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faithlessx:
yes,its the best phone ever.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anirudh412:
My thoughts exactly! The iOS keyboard, and to a certain extent the WP7/8 keyboards seem to be much better in terms of typing accuracy than the Android counterpart for some reason I cannot fathom. And this is after trying AOSP, Samsung and SwiftKey.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
You kinda already answered your own question, iphone keyboards have the same "heatmap" function as SwiftKey, making rapid key presses a little more forgiving. :)

love my note n7100, love the big screen, love watching nba games on it, movies, love the speed, love everything, except one thing... and thats recording live music of my demo bend on practice... i used to do it on my iP4 with native recording app, and the sound was as good as it can be if you are recording in a garage booth just to capture an idea of a creating song.... when i do it on my note 2, in the same room... the kick and the snare are too loud, it pops and clicks no matter which app i use... so thats the only bad thing for me, but its real important... :(:(:(

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badrello:
Great phone.

I came from tab 7 inch then note 1.

I couldn't use the note 1 as a primary phone due to the battery life.

Now I rely ONLY on the note2 and I am a heavy user.

The only remarks are:

1- cant mount it from pc as in note 1

2- camera of note 1 is much better in quality expecially in night photos.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezo91:
Im not happy with mine and here's why

1 the finish of the note 2 is not good I have the grey one the top bezel when I press on it makes a clicking sound

2 when using keyboard I have two problems sometimes the L O buttons are not sensitive that I need to press hard on them or a couple of times to work same as the enter button

The second thing is that when I long press the dot button the mini symbol keyboard sometimes don't appear

3 the power button and the volume rockers are loose makes me feel like they won't work

4 the battery drains fast idky although im following battery saving tips and have the battery power saver on and it still drains it is sometimes good when im not using it but when I start to use it begins to drain like 1% for 5 mins and when I go to sleep I enable power saver and turn all off it still takes 5-10% in 9 houra with it sleeping I check the batter stats and there is no blues

When gaming or using apps facebook twitter etc 1% for 2 mins why?

5 there are some glitches and lag when scrolling power saver off and cleared memory in ram

Im not happy with mine and really sad I don't know if I can change it and afraid they take it to make tests on it to see if it can be replaced with another and when they are done playing with it they give it back worse and say it has no problem.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raintech:
I've disabled auto brightness and increased it to top. Also changed colour warmth to Dynamic. And started playing Need for Speed Most Wanted with almost maximum volume. It took only 10-15 unit from my battery after playing about 1.5-2 hours. Battery is really good. I'm sorry for what you're experiencing, I think there's something wrong with your device.

When I've started gaming the battery was at 75~ and once left the game it was 62~.

Hi guys, I need to learn how to add a normal pop up on my apps first opening that will display a changelog and a small license.

Currently my app is set to work on devices running GB-JB.

Thanks in advance for helping me learn how to achieve this.

EDIT: I think I have found a method. After some testing I will post back the instructions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GuestK00222:
Got my Seidio Innocell dock Jr. today. No matter what charger it's plugged into, stock for S3 or my new 2.1amp, it charges considerably slower on the dock compared to being plugged into the phone directly. This is a big downfall for me. I have a Seidio active case and love it. Are there any other home docks someone can recommend that they know won't slow charging? It's slowed charging by about 50%, on average, I'd say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue6IX:
Could be the cable. I've had it charging through the mhl adapter using a knock-off cable and lost about 1% every ten minutes.

Using an OEM cable gets me positive power in same scenario. Same everything else - knock off cables are garbage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GuestK00222:
I'm using the cable that came with it. It's unfortunately a male usb on both ends. Not your standard microusb so I don't think I have another cable to try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] leperme5siah:
Like everyone and their mother, I am tired of waiting. I am completely lost in the forums, and I know I will get all kinds of crap for posting this. Since my S3 is my main, I have 1 big question... What is the easiest way to put the official JB leak on my S3 while maintaining the ability to accept the OTA when Sprint pushes it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am brand new to this, I have tried reading all the basics but I just want to be sure. Thank You.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
It's no way to root Jellybean and then accept the OTA as far as I know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dbenney:
if i understand the SGS3 right, all you have to do is flash to stock unrooted, accept the official OTA update then use odin again and root. but why bother unrooting to accept the OTA when you can jsut flash a rooted port of JB. Plus if you take the OTA update and then reroot and flash a custom rom, then the whole process taken to get the OTA was a waste of time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] broncop3t3:
Ok, but if I flash the zip from here do I NEED to flash the kernal? Also, can install this over the top of rooted stock?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Read the OP of the link. You need to clear caches and data as a general recommendation. The kernel is up to you, it comes with one already.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] leperme5siah:
Thanks everyone, your replies are helping me make my decision. I'm just nervous about the whole process. I guess I just want what the OTA will offer but don't want to wait for it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
To root, or not to root? That is the question...

Samsung Galaxy S3

OdexedBlue ROM

LI3 Stock Kernel

LIF Baseband

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dlx509:
Whats the advantage of using different kernel?

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

To root is the answer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
Trust me. within HOURS of the "official" release there will be copies here on the forums rooted and all other crap.

SO install the leak and forget the OTA all together. once the OTA is posted here (likely prerooted etc..) just flash that.

SUPER freaking easy once you have done it once you won't have any issues in the future.

just remember check check again and then check again that your flashing a compatible (SPRINT) rom. and you should be just fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] leperme5siah:
Just in case anyone cares, I flashed freeza's LIH and I am thoroughly impressed. Battery life seems a little lower but other than that, it's running perfect. Thanks to all who encouraged me to go further down the rabbit hole!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
Keep going by reading the thread more. The battery issue with the LIH leak has been brought up hundreds of times, and there are several solutions.

ROM - OdexedBlue

Baseband - LI3

Kernel - Stock LI3

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johnp453:
I am running Jellybean now and would never unroot to take a OTA. Like others have said on here before the OTA comes out we will already be on it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
the easiest way is to root install clockwork or twrp (WARNING twrp does not appear to be able to access a 64gb card have not tried CWM)

then flash LIH (very stable no issues really)

when the OTA comes out you just come back here and install the "rooted" version of the OTA. I would be surprised if we did not get it first.

OUR updates are EASIER than the downloaded OTA

these are MASSIVE files. let your PC and home internet connection do the work of downloading the update and then simply "flash" the new update. faster easier safer etc. etc..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] leperme5siah:
Thanks all, running LIH with LIG modem. Still can't find which modem is best to run for battery life though... With that being said, I am serching through the forums looking for the best one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
" The battery issue with the LIH leak has been brought up hundreds of times, and there are several solutions."

Can you elaborate? what thread is best for this? I noticed LIH is MUCH better on battery life than the last leak if I can make it even better than it is that would always be welcome :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] leperme5siah:
So you suggest using the LIH modem over the LIF and LIG? And out of curiosity, what are people referring to when they that the ROM "settles in" over a couple days? Once again thanks for everyone's help :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
when a rom settles, it simply means the software kinda learns how you operate it, kernal learns how you use your phone, such as how often and what you open on a daily basis. usually first couple of days, battery can be horrible, its gets better as you use your newly downloaded rom.

message brought to u by my JellyBombed GalaxyS3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] leperme5siah:
Thanks!

Thank you very much for explaining that to me! I just flashed both the LJ1 update and modem... I'm gonna rock this through the week and let it "settle in". So far so good!

You've made the right move kid. I was in exactly the same situation as you, but I eventually took the plunge. If you do get yourself in trouble, do a good bit of studying on this website.

Gonna need some experts help here.

I have UCCW track my gmail on my homescreen.

I decided to play with the invert gmail mod to make my gmail black. So I backed up gmail on titanium backup. UCCW was unable to track gmail after I did the invert. Tried to restore back to the backed up gmail but TB hangs at restoring gmail 4.1.2...

So downloaded gmail from google play and now UCCW won't show the amount of mail I have on my homescreen. It's reading ---.

Is UCCW somehow tied to the original gmail I had so now it won't track the new one I downloaded?

Edit: Nvm. Fixed it.

Just kidding.

After upgrading from Cyanogenmod 7 to 9, the gmail portion of my UCCW widget would only display ---

I couldn't get rid of it so I simply uninstalled and reinstalled the UCCW app and that seemed to have fixed it. Hopefully this helps someone else.

Things I have Done (In this Order):

Followed This Guide for Unlocking Bootloader and Flashing ClockworkMod Recovery

Unlocked Bootloader

Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.3.1 Touch

Flashed the EU Radio from Here (Still using Stock ROM)

Flashed CyanogenMod 10 NIGHTLY 20121012 Build

Tried to Restore Nandroid Backup (To No Avail)

Flashed Ville-Z Kernel

Flashed CyanogenMod 9 NIGHTLY 20120917 Build (After CM10 didn't work)

Held down the VOL- Button while Rebooting to try to gain access to the Bootloader several times (To No Avail)

Used the ADB Reboot Bootloader Command while in CWM several times (To No Avail)

So, I decided to root my HTC One S today, because I have a Samsung Vibrant that is running CyanogenMod 7, and I really like the abilities that come with being Rooted. I Rooted my Samsung Vibrant myself with no issues, however it seems that my HTC One S is giving me a hard time.

I think the main problem is the fact that I didn't Flash the Boot.img file from the CyanogenMod ZIP, however, now that I am unable to access the Bootloader, I can't even attempt to do that.

Also, I got the CyanogenMod 10 Nightly to get to the Boot Screen when I first flashed it (I only did "Data/Factory Reset"), however, it got Stuck while Booting, so after 15 Minutes of waiting to see if it would proceed, I rebooted it, another 15 Minutes went by with it stuck, and after about 5 Reboots, I gave up, Booted into the Bootloader, hit "Recovery" and got into CWM. Did a "Data/Factory Reset," Wiped Cache Partiton, and Wiped /system, Tried to just Restore my Nandroid Backup, and then began the flickering while its Rebooting and the Bootloop.

After that, I got thrown back into CWM, and then I did a "Data/Factory Reset," Wiped Cache Partiton, and Wiped /system, and then flashed the CM10 Nightly again. Same result, Bootloop, Tried This Solution for trying to get out of the Bootloop, to No Avail.

Then I wiped /system, Data/Factory Reset, and Cache Partiton once again, Flashed the CM9 Nightly, and the same thing happened. It Reboots, screen flickers a few times, and then i'm back to CWM.

So, i'm stuck. I can use ADB with ClockworkMod Recovery, but I can't get into the Bootloader at all. I imagine that there is a way to Flash the Boot.img from CWM, but I have no idea how, nor have I found any Threads on the topic. I would appreciate if you guys could help me on this. I've spent several hours today trying to at least gain access to the Bootloader, but to No Avail. Oh, and sorry for the Wall of Text, I wanted to make sure I covered every angle.
[HTC One S] frdd:
Can this adb command get you into bootloader mode? Use while in CWM but might work while the phone is trying to boot a ROM as well.

adb reboot bootloader

There is a corresponding fastboot command as well, fastboot reboot bootloader or maybe it is fastboot reboot-bootloader.
[HTC One S] WinterPhoenix96:
As stated above, adb reboot bootloader can't get me into the Bootloader. Also, Fastboot doesn't work inside of CWM. I also just tried adb reboot bootloader and fastboot reboot-bootloader while its rebooting (Trying to load the ROM?) to No Avail.

I only get:

C:\Android>fastboot reboot-bootloader
< waiting for device >

And it hangs. This is the same result I get trying fastboot reboot-bootloader from inside of CWM.
