Keep power + volume up + volume down pressed all at same time for a while, it will reboot into bootloader. Use volume down to select "Power Off" option, press power button and that way you can power off.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHouSHax:
is there any tweak or solution for the very slow response of the SNote app ? whenever I make a new note it takes more than 3 to 4 seconds just to load a new note
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supramon:
It's the same for me actually. So is it normal or is it just us ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamal Ahmed:
I had a Note I (sti have it) and you should see the S Note of that... Loading a Note takes literally 6 to 7 seconds... In my Note II the pages are formed like turning the page of a copy...so smooth. ... No prob with me...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyan2011:
There is a delay in selecting the paint or pen brush from tool menu... is that delay you talking about
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
I also have that delay and its quite annoying
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamal Ahmed:
Well that delay is much greater in Note II and thats annoying....

But adding a page took lightyears on Note I...also doing anything! As much as exporting an image etc
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skander1998:
I guess you guys have to wait a little for samsung to optimize the app.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyissac:
i got a SERIOUS delay sometime using Snote with Spen....switch between brush type and brush size....draw....delay about 3-10sec....really so annoying and i found no solution....dunno why = =
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHouSHax:
I hope any developer of those famous custom ROMs would take notice of such thing
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHouSHax:
No i'm talking about the delay of opening an existing note or even making a new one
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsuki-ame:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHouSHax:
Very good compared to all smartphones in the market, I tested it more than once with many phones and laptops the wifi reception is nearly as good as of laptops and of course much better than other phones
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinyk:
Found it pretty stable, had one issue with it loosing network and wifi while out of service and refused to login again until i rebooted but to be fair it was after a week of use without a reboot so not a complaint. Running i5 side by side and wifi holds longer and stronger than that imho.
[Nexus 7 General] tenble:
You are probably aware that Google Play Books, Movies and Magazine apps are hidden on the Nexus 7 when you are outside of the few permitted countries like US.

Since I am in Singapore, it is extremely annoying for the app to keep disappearing off my screens and folders each time I get out of my US ip. Hence I am using the following Titanium Backup widget to make the process simpler:

View attachment 1414024

Step 1. Go to widgets and look for Titanium Backup [Actions], not the other one. I am using the paid version of Titanium but I don't think it makes a difference.

View attachment 1414024

Step 2. Drop it somewhere on your desktop and you should see the next screen.

View attachment 1414025

Step 3. Tap on Action and choose Defrost and Launch an app.

View attachment 1414026

Step 4. Tap on Select the app and choose Google Play Books or any other app you want, like the Movies/TV or Magazines app.

View attachment 1414028

Step 5. Password is optional, I skip it. Tap "Create the widget" and you're done.

View attachment 1414023

Now whenever you want to read your books, just tap on the widget on your screen. It doesn't matter what ip you are in, what country you are in.

I find that this is the fastest and simplest way for me to access my books. Hope it is useful to you.
[Nexus 7 General] maztahbr:
Great!

Advice: put some upper case letters on thread (HOW TO)
[Nexus 7 General] Rody2k6:
I have the paid version, when I choose the Action widge and chose Defrost option, it doesn't ask me to choose an app, it just creates the widget
[Nexus 7 General] Theasa92:
How about a DNS hack ? would that work ?
[Nexus 7 General] tenble:
Did you choose "Defrost all user & system apps"? That's not the one, try scrolling up, it should be an action called Defrost and Launch
[Nexus 7 General] tenble:
No idea about that. You can try it out.

I like my method because it doesn't interfere with any other apps or settings or internet connections and is real quick and simple.
[Nexus 7 General] chesterr:
What's your widget that you use on your homescreen?

BTW how did you use your $25 credit? I have problems with that :\
[Nexus 7 General] tenble:
Widget is OMC, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sunnykwong.freeomc

the $25 credit? I'm not sure if it is still available for redemption, I heard it might have expired at the end of last month.

Anyway I had to log into Google Play with a US ip address, add in a credit card using a US address, but international cards work fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Slap-Yourself :):
Too bad they won't start shipping until the 2nd. Do you think they'll be available in stores before then?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ekerbuddyeker:
I'm not sure about that source
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ronj1986:
Would be nice to get this soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kyan~:
yeah i kinda jumped the gun..no source at all :( i'm getting my hopes too much up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Yeah source is lacking. I've followed all the rumors and at&t and Verizon have been pretty quiet in the rumor mills.

Sprint have officially announced a Oct 25 release date though

T-Mobile has a leaked image stating the 24th, but that was a week and half ago, but supposedly another leak shows that demo devices are being sent to stores
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] surge27:
Heard T-Mo confirmed in stores this week.

Anyone hear same thing for At&t?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nmcgrawj:
AT&T just announced Pre-order Oct. 25th with it being available Nov. 9 in all stores.

Switch to Sprint?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sling:
If Sprint LTE will be available in your area soon go for it.

Sprint unlimited data is a winner
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nmcgrawj:
I am tempted.

But I am new to the Droid world. Aren't sprint and verizon looked down upon for late/slow updates and locked phones?

That and Sprint plans don't include mobile hot spot..which puts them on par cost wise with the new shared plans at AT&T and Verizon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] randy2:
Due to your newness most DROID users root their phone so upgrading is not up to carriers, and I have sprint and I get upgrades as soon as a rom permits
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] thenumber1guy:
I called a sprint store and talked to this sprint rep that i had a conversation at the store with a while ago and he seems to be quite up to date and knowledgeable. he called the october 25th release before sprints big announcement. anyway he said earlier today that sprint stores should be getting the phones either tomorrow or thursday. the rumors of the 25th being a preorder date are most likely false, and i trust this guy enough to believe that we should be able to stop in at a sprint store thursday morning and pick up the best phone to date :)

hope you guys are as excited as i am :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] donnelljrn:
Does anybody know what the full price will be for the phone on sprint? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sling:
Verizon makes it pretty hard to get into the cookie jar while Sprint lets you in.

Sprints Galaxy S2 leaks flood development thanks to member "Sextape" thus xda development is pretty busy on device.

"Sextape" dropped Sprint leak for Sprint GN2 a couple weeks ago device not released so that's a good sign for things to come.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nmcgrawj:
Yes...i am trying to learn the droid terminology. I've had an iPhone for 5 years and have only been concerned with Jailbreaking that.

Could you explain what people mean when I read "Verizon's phone has a locked bootloader". I took that as saying you couldn't root it to install the new rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] breezeli:
Might want to update the title.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sling:
Verizon makes Samsung put up roadblocks that delay development from cracking bootloader / obtaining root.

There's always worry crack cant be achieved but it does so no worries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
Locked bootloader basically just means you cant flash a custom kernel (i know its more im trying to keep it simple). Devs sometimes have workarounds for roms like kexec on the GS3 for instance.

With the note 2 i dont think ill be flashing it despite being a flashaholic for 4 years now. Just root to get rid of the bloat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nmcgrawj:
Thanks for the info everyone. Sorry of this is getting off topic.

So Samsung wants us to be able to do this, so there aren't any warranty issues? Where as Sony/HTC track who does it? Or are there work arounds for that too?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Actually, Samsung's the only one that tracks it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nmcgrawj:
Looks like I've got some reading and researching to do!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chronzy:
Just pre-ordered mine along with the CaseMate white kickstand case. $649 off contract, ouch. But I'm thinking I'll love the device and the dev support should be strong. If not, I have 14 days to recoup my $ and revert back to my trusty S3.

I paid for overnight shipping and considering the site says it ships Nov 6th.. maybe a surprise waiting on my doorstep after work Nov 7th?

Right now i'm stuck between the Nexus 7 and the SIII depending on what I'm doing due to screen size. The Nexus is a perfect size for reading, and I do a lot of reading on my devices. Could this be the phone that makes both those devices obsolete to me? Thats what I want to find out. 2wks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alaris:
Yeah I recently returned my S3 and pre ordered this. I am looking forward to using the s-pen functionality in my classes. Must say loving android already, but just switched from an iPhone :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xxbeanxx:
Hey everyone. I installed the ota jb update when it dropped and lost root. Unfortunately for me, I had forgotten that I was testing a very large hosts file that I have come to find contains entries that I wish weren't there. I can't revert the file since I no longer have root, so I am wondering about installing the rom from asus's support site.

Does anybody know if installing the downloadable update manually over an existing jb is possible; and, if so, will it revert my hosts file to stock? The OTA update didn't touch the hosts file, so I am not sure if the downloadable one will either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] qery:
I ICS days it could be done with method in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492887 , it should be doable also in JB but read through it to be sure.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JemAguilar:
which would you prefer? Ext4 or TWRP? I wanna know what to flash. I dont wanna use both.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Magic2010:
I don't think you need to create 2 threads to talk about the same thing.

Ext4 and TWRP are both ok and both do the job, install them both and try it for yourself.

Ext4 needs 7mb recovery size

TWRP needs 5mb

Both can be flashed thro your recovery, so you can try them both.

Download them from here:

http://goo.im/devs/Xylograph/Various/Recoveries/NAND

Put in sdcard and flash via CWM recovery, reboot and it's done.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mengfei:
both are OK but TWRP will not run if you try my Triple boot method since it doesn't recognize the WP7 partition, also there could be an instance that you might press the wrong rom when flashing since they sit really close to each other.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaisah:
Hi, I recently installed some launchers and set one to be my default launcher for when i hit the home button. I know that if i go into the app managment page i can reset the default and then set touchwiz as the default however that is not my question.

My question is: Can i create a shortcut to go to the touchwiz launcher without resetting the default launcher? The other launchers i have installed have app icons so i can just click them and they open however touchwiz does not. Does anyone know how to make a touchwiz icon or some way to easily change the default launcher?

Thanks in advance :good:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmergencyMedic:
OK I'm really sorry but I've been searching for days (weeks actually) so forgive me if there is a thread that I can't find - and/or link to it for me if you wouldn't mind. (I get frustrated by people asking the same question over and over, as I'm sure you do too, I really am stuck as I am completely new to android and am still a little stuck in iOS mindset - i.e. can't seem to work thing out for myself lol)

This relates specifically to the SGNII hence it's post here and not in general android forum (where I've also searched)

I'm loosing patience waiting for a 32GB so I'm "considering" getting a 16 and 64GB card and rooting. I know I will have more than 16GB of apps (added up all the once I want/need) and really need a backup facility so......

When you root the SGNII - only to gain root access for modifying the external SD to take apps and, possibly, to use titanium backup:

1) Do you loose any stock functions/apps other than warranty, OTA updates, and automatic app updates?

2) Do ALL apps run ok from the external SD (eg top of the line games, Polaris office etc) - is there any slow down?

3) If, at a later point, I flash a later stock ROM (what would normally be an OTA update) release will it still find all the apps and their data on the SD card?

4) If an app is updated in the store is it easy to update it onto the SD when you know the update is available

I'm sorry if I'm asking the same question that others have asked but I've been searching for days. Many thanks for links or direct answers to these questions. I'd really love a 32GB or above and I'm giving it until the upcoming US release to see if this is a trigger for global release but there are already some pretty tasty deals in the 16GB format on contract here in the UK

Many thanks in advance for your help

Ben
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eng.rego:
1) u will never lose anything even the warranty & ota by using triangle away

2)using special directory binding tools with a class 10 micro sd HC u will got no problem at all running from Ext SD

3)resetting the counter then wipe then flash stock rom ur device will return brand new official

4)yes.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmergencyMedic:
Thank you so much for the reply, sorry if it was a simple question, pushing me more toward the 16gb now (I'd be saving a lot of money on my contract if I upgrade!). - I actually went into the store today to buy one, fate must have stopped me because they only had white in stock (I want grey) lol.

So if I root and use triangle away to reset counter I can still get OTA updates? - that's cool (I'm sure ill be flashing new roms before long anyway - used to love messing with the OS on my XDA exec back in the day - so this isn't too important, but nice to know)

Thank you for confirming apps will have no significant problems running form the SD (I know that things like widget apps need to be in the on-board memory)

I think I've understood correctly from reading around that SD mounted apps will not "automatically" update, again that doesn't bother me - I'm sure there are apps out there that can "watch" for new releases - time to do another search.

I'm not to scared about getting back from root should I have a problem now (I.e. factory reset) - thank you

One more question, if you don't mind:

I've been reading about directory bind quiet a lot over the past few weeks (trying to answer the above questions you answered in 2mins!) - is there a good app that you would recommend for directory binding? There's several on the store and, TBH, the reviews don't really help me make a decision. I did catch somewhere that there was a method to trick the phone into thinking the external SD was the Internal SD and vice versa - what's your views on that?

I think it's funny that rooting invalidates your warranty when even the samsung App Store has program's that require root!

Once again, thanks for the reply

I'm on my Nexus 7 Tablet and unfortunately I have to do a factory reset yet again due to the issues presented in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32943570#post32943570

My Question is if I'm doing a factory reset is it safe to "copy/paste" the /data folder from now to after the reset to preserve my apps and settings? I hate having to download them all again and set everything up from scratch but I want to make sure it's safe. Even if I have to go through it and delete some of the files to make it safe it's better than spending 4 hours setting things up every time it craps out.

I would make a backup.ab with adb backup for the system or a titanium backup for each app but unfortunately I can't get into the apps since it won't boot up. Clockworkmod has an adb interface so that's how I plan to pull and push the /data folder but unfortunately it doesn't have an interface for adb backup.

As my other thread outlines I am on stock everything except for SuperUser su and Clockworkmod recovery.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you very much for any assistance.
[General Questions and Answers] naddie:
Anyway to make sure all Android devices get the same apps as well as data? Examples:

Buy an app on phone, same app shows up on tablet.

Music, files, photos...

Browser tabs. (Chrome let's you open tabs from other devices, but no option for seamless synchronization).

Homescreen icons and widgets arranged the same way between devices.

App data the same between devices - Doggcatcher podcasts the same position I left off on phone is same on tablet.

I use my phone and tablet and find it frustrating that in just can't continue on a different device. Could make it customized such as per app, launcher, etc.

If I was a developer, this would be my million dollar idea. :). But I, not, so looking for an already made solution.

Thanks!

Edit: Would make a compelling feature in a custom ROM that spans all devices such as CM10 or AOPK.
