don't know that you will get any response here within regards anything from JELLYBAM, beings it and the developer were banned from XDA.

have never heard of that one myself as far as being a fault with the Note. If it is a rom issue, you would be better off hitting the MODMYDROID website I believe. if not, look them up on facebook.

good luck

I717 Screen Problem

I recently bought a GNote I717 and there are a few issues. The biggest problem is that the screen glows even when it is all the way turned off. Image below. The other is that the water damage dot is red. The phone functions as it should, but the battery life is sucking because the screen is always on. The screen is very nice and crisp, it only glows when it is asleep or turned off. What can I do to fix this...? I still have 2 months on my Samsung warranty and could get it refurbished, but would they accept it if the dot is red???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Nope water damage voids the warranty.

That's the entire point of the water indicator.

That's really weird that it stays on like that.

You could try disassembling the device abs going over every nook and cranny with a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol...

But that's mainly the first line of defense against water damage... to dry up any water before you even turn it on. at this point I'd say the damage is done.

Hmm, it could be a kernel issue, I doubt it but maybe.. try flashing the latest firmware with Odin and see what happens.

updating from blackstar ICS to JB

Hello XDA,

Im going to be updating a friends ATT Galaxy note that has been running the blackstar ICS rom to the newest blackstar JB rom. would it be possible to just flash the new update via TWRP or would i be better off flashing the official update via ODIN, then re-rooting, installing TWRP, and flashing the Blackstar JB update? Ive read somewhere that when updating whole OS versions its best to flash the full update before installing a custom rom so that it updates certain areas that are not updated when just flashing it via custom recovery.? TYIA!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Nah just flash the Rom you wanna end up using... no reason for all that wheel spinning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shane1diamond:
Right on. Thanks for the response. i usually would just jump right in and do that with my device. but just wanted to ask and see if might have any adverse effects. being its not my device to tinker with and fix if any probs would arise. Mahalo!

I have maybe a stupid,but i can't find an answer anywhere on the forum.

If i have I717,and i unlock it with unlock code bought on ebay/straight from AT&T,and i want to update radio/kernel/ROM, will i need to enter unlock code ever again after these manipulations ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Nope. Once you insert the non carrier sim and enter the unlock code ... its a forever thing ..

Ultra confused by rooting business

Hello everyone,

I have been scouring xdadevelopers trying to take in as much information as I can but I'm (a) missing something critical, (b) not understanding what I'm reading, and/or (c) not cut out for this rooting stuff. I have an AT&T Note running 4.1.2. I'd like to root it. Now I'm no programmer, but I'm tech literate. I run linux (have windows, too), am familiar with what "root" is, and love to customize my gadgets to no end. Back in my iPhone days, I hated using anything but a jailbroken device and never had any trouble maintaining one. But damn, there is just so much information in these threads that I'm really quite lost.

I'm seeing conversations like: twrp vs cwm, tutorials for rooting stock gingerbread, how to use odin, just flash custom roms, make sure you're using a ROM that is for your kernel... but I'm really at a loss for what is really being said and I seem to be in the minority. My most desired outcome is to get rid of all the trash (bloat) that AT&T forces me to have on my phone. To meet this end, I believe I need to root. My stupid question for you all is: what the heck am I supposed to do? I downloaded the most recent twrp .tar that, as far as I can tell, is for my device (i717). Do I then just use ODIN to flash that to my phone and then I'm rooted? Custom ROMS, I gather, are modified operating systems? Do I flash these using ODIN as well. Do I do this after I do the twrp stuff?

I'm not really sure what else to ask. I suspect I'll get linked to a lot of threads which I've already read, in which case I may conclude I'm not tech savvy enough to do this. As I've said - I've scoured the SUPER threads which are loaded with info, I'm just still not comfortable with what I've learned. My least desired outcome is obviously bricking my phone (first world troubles, eh?)...

Any help you can provide is enormously appreciated. I understand proper etiquette is to read first then ask. I hope you take me for my word that I've done that. Sorry for the lengthy post.

Cheers!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
The easy answer for you is flash the correct TWRP tar file in Odin as per instructions. The latest version of TWRP (as I understand) offers the option to root the device. I didn't use this method but it seems the simplest.

At that point you can use an app like titanium back up to freeze the apps you want to rid yourself of. Freezing is preferred over deletion.

After you get more brave, you can flash a custom rom using TWRP.

A lot of these thread have been around a long time. So information has changed, and it can be confusing. This thread is here for just this reason. Please feel free to ask whatever you want. Many helpful people visit here.

How do I remove the focal camera app?

I just updated to the latest 9/28 HellyBean rom...

I read that many people have problems with the latest focal camera app and restored the the one from the previous build...

So I backed up that old focal apk... Installed the new rom...

I have titanium backup and went to the focal app and chose the option to uninstall using an exploit... It said failed to find the apk for focal...

I went to the app manager and uninstall isn't an option...

Any assistance would be much appreciated...

Stupid question in-coming:

4.3 was just released on the forums, it appears to be stable. I am rocking a SGH-i717M. The Bell edition.

The 4.3 update is for AT&T models, I've read it will work, but the ADM.. (im not sure what it is exactly) is not the same between bell and AT&T, and i will have to manually change it... what are the settings and how do i change?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Any 4.3 rom is a custom Rom... nothing officially has been released for any note passed 4.1.2.

And what you're thinking I believe is the APN, access point name,

System settings/more/wireless networks/access point names. Click on yours write down everything, then when on new Rom go to same place and create a new apn.

Kernel to fix audio problems

My i717 is completely stock on 4.1.2. But, for some reason it doesn't do audio out of the headphones or speaker. It won't even play an audio file. Any attempt to play an audio (or a video with audio) file results in an error and the application hangs. If I have the phone on bluetooth it works fine. Someone mentioned to me it may be a kernel issue, but I'm not sure what kernel to use, or if it's even a kernel problem.

I'll root and do all that if I have to, but I was wondering if this is a known issue and how I can fix it. I've ordered a replacement speaker/jack assembly, I have no problems replacing it myself, but is that the problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Have you tried using different apps to see if that changes anything? Does it ring when a call comes in? Do you get notification sounds?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ericcorp:
I get no sounds of any sort from either the bottom loud speaker, headphones, or top ear speaker. I only get sound on bluetooth.

When I attempt to play any audio files, or any video file with audio, the app will freeze up and be weirdly unstable. Google Music reports it can't play the file. It happens on stock 4.0.4, stock 4.1.2, and CM10.1.

Maybe it's modem related, since all those things would be unchanged across a ROM flash.

"ROM Settling"

When do you guys let your rom "settle" On first boot at first welcome screen? Or after logging in at first home screen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
I've never once let a ROM settle and never had an issue, but if you must just let it sit after first boot before signing in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ericcorp:
Wondering about my audio problem, would flashing a new modem or radio help? I use it on AT&T, so is there a recommended modified radio to flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
I don't believe flashing a modem has anything to do with your audio problem. If you're looking for the latest AT&T modem, search for UCMD3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
That is an odd problem. So I'm guessing that you don't have any audio through YouTube as well? And you've tried different aftermarket apps to play the audio files? I can't imagine the modem would cause that problem, but I guess anything is possible. Can always hop on one of the modem threads or the super everything thread and try a couple different ones. If you don't mind starting from scratch, I would either use Kies or Odin to flash back to bone stock and start over if all else fails.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ericcorp:
Yeah it's odd. The device was bone stock. I unlocked it and installed CM10 to see if maybe it was a kernel or roms issue. But it didn't work.

All apps that play sound don't work. It's not that the app tries to play and its silent but it will actually freeze while I assume it's trying to play the sound. If I load a video in MX Player, for example, it will just play a frame or two and then freeze. If I open voice search it hangs on the little prompt tone and never starts to listen.

I have a new headset jack and speaker piece arriving tomorrow and if that doesn't fix it I'll buy a new bottom speaker unit. Also keeping an eye on a few eBay broken screen units that I can scavange.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
So if you go into the settings for example and try to change the sound for the ringtone it just freezes up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ericcorp:
For that option no, when I select it it works, just doesn't play any sound. Every other app freezes or locks up.

EDIT: One more odd thing, if I do a voice recording in Evernote or S-Note, it records, but when I click finish or save, the apps completely lock up. It's at the point now where I can't even open up S-Note now, when I close it and reopen it locks up. I'll clear the app data and it will reopen. Very bizarre.

Laggy Gnote 1

I have had a telus i717 for almost 2yrs now. I'm in Canada.

My phone has been getting laggier and I tried wiping it and restoring it a few times.

I keep almost no data on the internal storage. says 10.1 of 10.7GB free.

I want to speed up my phone and was wondering a couple things:

-Can I use a really fast sd card as RAM or Cache? That should speed things up as I only have 750Mb of RAM.

-Whats the simplist way to overclock? Do I have to Root?

-What is the fastest sd card type supported by the telus i717? (I tried a couple 90mb/s cards and they both shorted out losing all data even from pc access, etc.)

I am pretty handy with electronics and some plc programming, etc. But I have never rooteed a phone and I worry I will need some files that I wont be able to find etc.

I would like to hear from anyone who has a telus note and installed a custom rom and the steps they took.

Can anyone point me to a resource for rooting/overclocking this phone and the files I need?

I know I dont ask much do I.

Thanks all!

http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/

This is the method I used on my telus note. Worked like a charm. Try a variety of roms and find one you like. Many are oc'd already or can be by simply flashing the appropriate kernel and using trickster mod to modify or simply set using performance tab in the settings of your custom ROM.

Edit: Googling will tell you the cool things that can be done with a rooted phone and custom ROMs can breath new life into your phone.

Just keep in mind that only stock ROMs support all the Samsung apps and they are the most stable. That being said custom ROMs can do a whole lot more, are highly customizable, are faster, but may be missing things like mhl support. If you don't know what that is, you probably won't miss it. Even if you run a 4.1.2 based on stock ROM I believe you will appreciate being root.

"Searching for GPS" when

When I revive my Note from sleep, if GPS is enabled, it immediately starts doing "searching for GPS". This wouldn't be much of a problem for me (it's not like AT&T can't track me by what cell towers I'm on, and google knows where I'm going before I decide to go there, and I don't run anything with GPS permission from anyone else) - except that the phone is unbearably slow while it's doing this!

I'm getting sick of having to turn off GPS to use my phone for anything other than navigation, and then turn it back on for navigation... then off as soon as I'm done. It's such a dramatic slow down that simple tasks (like pulling down the notification bar, or dragging my finger to unlock the screen) can take so long that I think I didn't do the motion (I just witnessed 2-3 seconds for pulling down the notification bar before it moved at all)

Running stock, unrooted 4.0.4 ICS (reviews of the stock 4.2 update for note online indicated performance was disappointing). This issue is not new, has always been present with this phone, even when i first got it and it was running 2.3.

Is this issue unique to me, or does it happen to everyone?

If it happens to others, is it just this model ?

Are there any ways to fix this without rooting, other than keeping GPS off except when I'm using it?

Are there any ways to fix this with rooting? I suspect that the app doing it is something I use, so I can't just freeze the app with titanium.

I will be upgrading fairly soon (and will be rooting the new phone, likely a Note 3)

Do newer versions of android have better tools for controlling GPS use? I remember hearing about an android update that would introduce a "line item veto" for permissions. What version is this?

Or is the problem I described not relevant on newer phones, and they don't lag while searching for GPS?

I've tried searching for this, but I haven't been able to get applicable results - trying to refer to the lock screen, or just after unlocking the phone (as in leaving the lock screen) returns oodles of results relating to problems people have had while unlocking (as in carrier lock), and lots of people reporting problems where the GPS can never get a signal (the GPS gets a signal for me, it just c-r-a-w-l-s while doing so, and tries to do so when there's no need to)

Thanks

So I know this isn't a question that can be answered easily, but maybe some of you have experience about this. My girlfriend has the HTC One S, completely stock, she doesn't know/care about rooting and all that. I have the Note, and I immediately rooted and installed the Padawan ROM. I see that they have similar specs, but does anyone know why her phone just seems to run so much faster? It is so smooth, even with bloatware and whatnot, whilst mine has almost none, and I have tons of extra memory. It just perplexes me to why mine runs slower.

Question on Unlocking SGH-I717

Deleted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
Not sure exactly why but I'll tell you the Samsung ROM does run laggy on the Note. Even though ptmr3 has done a great job optimizing the Samsung ROM in Padawan, by its nature it still runs laggy (though very stable I might add). However, if you install any ROM based on CM, AOSP, etc, you'll notice a significant jump in performance.

BTW, there are a few HD differences between the devices and I don't know if those are contributing to the performance. The HTC does have a newer GPU and the processor even though Snapdragon based is different, Krait.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MadnessG:
Yeah, out of all of the ROM's I've flashed, I keep going back to Padawan! The battery life is incredible, it's the only one that's super stable. Do you know any ROM's that are CM based and stable?

Which ROMS replace modem and which don't?

My CallerID is no longer working on Fido. It's worked before I did a lot of flashing. I suspect I've got the wrong modem.

How do I know which ROMs will overwrite the modem and which won't?

Does it matter whether they're odin tars or CWM-based zips?

Does it matter whether I find them in "Original Android Development" or "Android Development"?

How can I experiment with modems to get the one that works?

I've found the old threads with original/stock modems and tried installing only the modems using TWRP. Doesn't fix the problem.

Any guidance most welcome, especially from a Canadian with experience with this specific problem.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
You mention flashing. Changing ROMs does not change modem (usually). It does not matter where you find the modem or how it is installed. But if the caller ID does not display on YOUR phone properly then I would think it is a network issue. What do you see when someone calls? Unknown Caller?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kodyclarence:
Ok, although "no question is a stupid question" is true, but me knowing quite a bit about rooting, flashing, reprogramming etc. with Androids I should already know the answer to this question. BUT being that I have never really needed to do so I am unsure of the answer. I have a friend that I updated his AT&T Galaxy Note from Gingerbread to Jellybean 4.1.2 then rooted it. Now, with Gingerbread he had good service where he is at, but with the Jellybean radio he does not. He wants to revert back to Gingerbread just to get his signal back but he likes the Jellybean look and features. Can I just flash the Gingerbread stock radio and keep his Stock Jellybean 4.1.2?
