Specs and personal preferences aside, Sony (or Sony Ericsson) phones have been lacking in built quality over the past few years. I would choose a high end Samsung anytime nowadays compared to Sony. Just my few cents ...:silly:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahaddad:
Hi, I was on HellyBean Rom, opened an account with Net10 BYOP and configured the APN settings, everything seemed to be working fine for a day or so, Then I decided to set a lock pattern on my security settings. after locking the device to try it out, it got stuck, rebooted and got stuck on the boot up animation (dimming on and of), never came out, so I erased everything and re-installed the rom. when i entered the same APN settings i didn´t get the data back, other than that the WiFi and phone seem to be working fine, I upgraded to the lastest HellyBean version, and now switched to the AoCP CP 4 Rom, all with the same results No Data! tried to toggle the airplane mode, verified the imei with the imei behind the battery.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks.

Try flashing a modem again. If that doesn't fix the problem, dial *#*#2263#*#* and make sure all or the required freq bands are selected.

Thanks uhm, i flashed a new modem as suggested, actually thanks for that I got better reception at home, but apparently that dindn´t fix the data network, then i tried to dial *#*#2263#*#* as soon as i dial the las * the whole number dissapears but i dont get any menu.

Any extra help would be appreciated, this is the first time I go into the modem updates/options.

Try flashing a gb stock rom like uckk4 from the master thread and then flash corn kernel tar so that u have cwm recovery too. Then flash the rom you want from cwm recovery menu. You could try data connection in stock rom before flashing another rom.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] TheFamilyMan:
I found this app in Samsung Apps for my Galaxy Note I and it had some really cool features so once I received my Galaxy Note II on October 1st and initially searched SA's to see if they were releasing the app for our Note II's.

Finally on October 16th Samsung finally released version 1.1.1. Be aware this is strictly for the Note II. I searched the entire SGN2 forum(s) to check if this was already posted and I didn't find a thing about it. I also wanted to see if anybody knew what this app is - again I found nothing.

So in the spirit of sharing without DRAMA (this is NOT a necessary app for all you nasty trolls out there who always seem to make rude and absurd comments) this is for all you who enjoy the perks of owning the coolest devices in the world.

I hope this downloads properly but if there is a problem let me know and I'll be glad to send it to anyone who asks. The only problem some of you may have is the size of the download, 86.93MB's. It'll be available on Google Drive within the hour. For those wanting it from Samsung just search "Retail Mode for Galaxy Note 2".

10/30 - UPDATE

I've tried to attach the link to download this app but for some reason I can't post attachments in my XDA Premium. I just posted this app simply because it's cool, fun, and the perfect answer to all those jealous iFanatics. And you will get immature comments and questions from every nosy butthead quizzing you about this BEAST. I don't say a word until AFTER they've seen the demos - actually they still ask if it really does all of that.

The Multi-Window screen shuts them up fast!

Yes, it does change a couple of settings and YES, you can retain the settings you had prior to install. There are a few tutorials videos within the app for those who are the brink of buying or for those who've never used a Galaxy Note before.

I never said it was necessary or needed, again I simply thought/think it's a cool. There was/is an app for the original Galaxy Note which serves the same purpose as this app does for this BEAST.It's just a fun, informative, and cool app to have around when you get those dumb, rude comments out of nothing more than pure jealousy.

Direct from my Galaxy Note II GT-N7100!
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] rvbarton:

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Do the Android:
Download Retail Mode for Galaxy Note 2 at Samsung Apps.

Search for “Retail Mode for Galaxy Note 2″.

Install it and enter 5444 as password (Change password if you like)..

Enable service.

And you are ready to show off your powerful Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

Have a FUN! :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] manu_up:
Nice app but ur post is slightly misleading because you say features. This app is mainly meant as a demo mode interface. So triggering this app causes the note 2 to launch the demo mode (toggled from the app settings by enabling the service) and the device portrays the functionality of the Note 2 just like how u see in a store. So that's what its for. Its fun. But not exactly useful. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Searched and found this

[FAQs] Smart Phone : : What is the retail mode for Galaxy S2 in Samsung Apps?

A : It is for use in retail shop only for Marketing purposes –

For Customers: Do not download and install this application.

If this application activated, some functions like as screen lock &

screensaver are removed and it is not possible to restore them.

End-user / Customer does not need this tool. To prevent his use, there is a warning message and a password

setting requirement.

so not sure if that true or not

anyway thanks bro :good:

i'm not sure what you consider to be cool and please dont take any offence by this reply, but this software is not cool it will **** you phone/tablet up, its used for LDU (local display units)

when you see a tablet/phone in a shop and its flashing through images of what the device can do that this app but it does so much more, blocks the lock screen can block wifi/bluetooth/3g has hunderds of permissions makes itself a device admin and worst of all rests your device every 24hrs

as i said i mean no offence and the only reason i have replyed is i was looking how to unistall this ****ing software and stumbled upon your post, i was sold a tablet with the software hardcoded TRUST ME YOU DONT WANT IT its a ***** to get rid of when its installed
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] TheFamilyMan:
I agree and I disagree!

YES I agree with just about EVERYTHING you're saying, I just wanted to point out that I DID in fact warn those who'd install this on their Note II that settings WERE/ARE overridden after install. I originally thought it was cool because (personally of course) I was able to grab a few images and a screensaver(?) I wanted at the time.

Actually I've grew tired of of Samsung' BORING products since they're all basically the same design theme over and over again plus the .02" screen upgrades aren't on par with the niche' market they created. I wanted a fresh, bold, and INNOVATIVE design I'd be happy with until the release of 4K (TRUE 4K) devices. I didn't/don't use my device as a visual capture tool, or want a device full of proprietary bloatware I'd NEVER use.

Yes sir, I graduated to the true beast of all smartphones/tablets presently available in the market today. Yes the Sony Xperia Z Ultra and it's worth every single penny I paid for it. Yes I know there downsides to owning such a device but I have yet to find any of them - this beast is perfect for ME and will keep me happy until the 4K devices finally are finally released.

But hey, Thanks for the heads of up man, I appreciate it, I sincerely do!

Hi!

Just got my replacement Nexus 7 but noticed that it has some backlight bleed. Should I return it or is this Normal? See picture

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loscamos:
I have it on my display, for me isn't a big problem, but If it is for you just change it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doraso:
Thx for the reply loscamos! Do you have same amount of bleeding?

To all:

Do you consider bleeding on picture to be minor? The picture shows the tablet in a dark room with 100% brightness just to show the bleeding. I can see it on dark picture on normal brightness aswell but its not as noticeable as on picture.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
I have the tiniest bit of bleed which is hardly noticeable but I have to admit that's more than I would call acceptable. Especially if you can see it sometimes whilst using apps.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dparrothead1:
Do you normally sit in a dark room, with a black screen with the brightness turned all the way up? Do you notice it under normal use?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doraso:
Not as much as on the picture but yes I notice it a little bit under normal use. I noticed it when I started the tablet under Google logo thats why I decided to download a backlight bleed test app and see how much It was. It is hard not to notice it because I know that it is there. If it is normal I can accept it but if there are tablets without it Im thinking: why should I accept it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doraso:
Here is the same picture taken with the normal brightness I use. Maybe Im just to picky??? :) Looks alot better.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
That's not too bad, I'd say that mine was just about the same. The only reason my bleed doesn't bother me is because I never see it unless I'm booting up.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NK0d3R:
I returned the one in the picture. It was my second return (the first one had 5 defective pixels), so the retail chain I bought it from refused to exchange it for another and gave my money back (if you're from Romania, I'm talking about Altex, a bunch of unprofessionals, they think that the retail buisiness is all profit, no responsibilities/losses/putting costumer satisfaction in front of apparent financial gain). It looks worse than yours, but my first one, the one that had the defective pixels looked better than both yours and my second one from that point of view (the first one had some light bleed, but distributed over a larger area).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doraso:
Yeah that one on the picture is much worse. Im swedish and the company I bought mine from has been extremly understanding and helpful. Have had a fair share of "bad luck" with the Nexus 7. But Im leaning towards keeping this one, as I recall it all my Nexus tablets have had some degree of backlight bleeding. Maybe the ones without it are rare????
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solange82200:
Those pics are bad, return it. I had one with less lightbleed than that, but it still bothered me so I returned it, and am so glad I did

1. What's your problem? Losing your IMEI number is not dangerous or a disaster or something.

2. Can you give some more details? What do you mean

exactly

with "Lost IMEI number"

3. Yes, of course I want to help you. I only don't know how/what exactly.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] AkumDX:
After flashing CronMod-A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT script and found that the IMEI missing....
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] makeyourself:
I had this problem and ended up getting a replacement from Samsung.

If you are saying that you've got a blank/unknown IMEI in your phone settings and also when you dial *#06# then your EFS partition is probably corrupted. Your network will probably not let you make phone calls if this is the case.

I don't suppose by any chance you done the firmware "Full backup with CWM to ODIN format" as per the instructions in the sticky thread on this forum? If you did then try flashing that because it contains a backup of your bml15 / efs partition and you will also get your previous firmware back.

If not then with then I would say prepare the phone for a return to Samsung.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Rubenyz:
Yes, and if so, then

DON'T FORGET TO RESET BINARY COUNTER !!!!!

Because else, yes, you'll know it and I'm not in mood to explain it. :mad::rolleyes:

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] makeyourself:
See this post (tells you how to do it):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23715776&postcount=1

I'm pretty sure a standard CWM nandroid backup does not backup the EFS partition.

You can do it with the app Galaxy Toolbox:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doky.sgtoolbox&feature=search_result

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647703

Mine says zero, I'm not sure that flashing from recovery affects the binary counter, may just be download mode / ODIN.

By the way it may be worth trying to restore your CWM backup, especially if its the stock firmware because you'll need to anyway. Severely doubt it will work to be honest, but you never know.

Thanks for the hep but Still not working...i guess i'l have to sent it to samsung service...

Is it because of CronMod-A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT script that i lost my IMEI?:confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] makeyourself:
Samsung may check to make sure you have stock ROM, stock kernel, your phone is not rooted and your binary counter = 0. Act on that information in whatever way you deem appropriate.

To be honest I don't know enough about the bml15 / EFS partition and how exactly it generally gets corrupted to be able to answer that but I lost my IMEI without flashing anything.
