[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] K.0.0.L.:
Today I went to a sprint store inside Concord Mall just to test the S pen and was very disappointed. I even dream about this phone but thank god

I haven't sold my GS3 yet.

Click the video link and you'll know what I mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY4eMzw_LTY
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gilbydakid:
Are you really basing your review on a store model?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] denttarek:
It was mentioned before that the security device on the back might affect the performance of the s pen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Devi0124:
Mine works fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bblanski:
It definitely does
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MiguelHogue:
Well I'll make sure when I pick up my note 2 front the sprint store that it doesn't have that device on the back of it before I get it

-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] K.0.0.L.:
You might the right on that. Thank god again I dream wasn't crush.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] K.0.0.L.:
That's my only option right now. I don't think a stranger would let me play with his or her phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gilbydakid:
That's not giving this awesome phone a fair shake though.

People beat the stuffing out of those store models. Trust me, if you get this phone you will not be disappointed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrush:
I have had absolutely no problems with the S Pen. In fact my wife is an Industrial Designer, and said that the Pen isnt too far behind her WACOM and programs she uses for work. slight lag, but nothing to lose sleep over. for me the S Pen is almost a novelty.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] K.0.0.L.:
The reason I was soo critical about it is because I need it to take note in class and always have it with me when I need to study.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] netzer119:
i dont think a phone/tablet/any electronic device could ever replace pen/paper when it comes down to class and taking notes...not even a laptop. our brains learn best when we write things out, not just type them up and to take tons of class notes on a 5.55" screen is just silly...anyway, my s-pen was initially too sensitive and would register screen taps at times when I would only be hovering. following a fix in some thread, I probably love my phone more than all my other devices combined :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkendvoid88:
Theres a known issue with the s-pen and magnets. Mine works great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bradynapier:
Guys - at the Sprint store the pen did not work for me AT ALL - the guys at the desk said "yeah, its not good - buy an iPhone 5 this thing sucks" - i bought it anyway, it works fine... CONFIRMING that at 3 stores I went to in order to find stock in Las Vegas, this was a problem and that with my device - no such problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TWO515TY:
While I do agree that paper and pen are the best, I actually saw a girl in my organic chemistry class who took all her notes on her iPad. She drew structures and wrote formulas with a cheap, standard capacitive stylus, typed out whatever she could type out, and took pictures of slides and a pasted them into her notes. I'm not sure what program she used, but it was quite impressive to say the least. Of course, I think it requires learning the programs inside and out and making sure you can use them efficiently.

I have a Nexus 7 and a Galaxy Note II and wouldn't use either one to replace a notebook and a good mechanical pencil. I'm also not motivated enough to try though either lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrush:
If you're gonna take notes, just do a Bluetooth keyboard... makes more sense.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TWO515TY:
Yea but there are some classes where you can't type everything? How do you draw a structure or diagram with a keyboard?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mr_wrong_0:
There is a great app called handrite in the market and it lets you type and draw in the same file as well as import pictures. I use it in meetings on my Xoom.

I Want To Buy New Phone And I Get Confused Between Galaxy S2 And Xperia T ?? In My Opinion I Think That The Xperia T Is Better !!! But Which Phone Would You Choose ?? And Why ?? And How Much Is The Xperia T ??? (sorry for my bad english )
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolsandie:
Galaxy S2 now stands as an old phone because it has been in Market for over an year. Xperia T is a recently launched new phone, so purchasing a recently launched phone is always good, because of hardware improvements, updated software etc.

About price, its expected to be Rs 25,000 (~ $463) as mentioned in some websites, not sure though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cathaclac:
Saving up money and buy a LG Nesux 4 and u r good to go another 2 years without worrying about changing phone. anyway i think xperia T is a good enough choice for now
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zwindchung:
How much budget do you have? If you are going for high end phone, the new nexus is a good choice...or else you can go for Samsung Devices like Galaxy note 2 or S3...These phones are the best in the market that you can get and their performance quite satisfying though :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybice:
For development i use Nexus One phone - old but really good,

For daily activity i use Galaxy Note,

(i don't like to debug something on Samsung phones - there are enormous number of traces from samsung apps in traceview)

But now due to logs in play market, i also need some phone for development on 4.1 android system,

i think it will be new Nexus model.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Samy:
my budget is about 400$ and iam from the middle east and i will buy the phone in february
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sh7adeh:
So .. after mods closed every topic that have talked about hilbeast phone ... when will you stop defending on him ..

all community didnt like what happen but its a fact that all of us will buy his phone before getting kernel 3

from the deleivery of ics we are hearing news about kernel 3 and now the 4.2 will run out soon and nothing done on our dream (kernel 3 )

maybe its better to admit that kernel 3 for our device these times is impossible and go on with backporting usefull stuff from kernel 3 to our

original kernel

finally i would say that nothing could happened if mods arent defending on hilbeast that much :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loneagl:
Dude all you are doing is flaming the community for no reason..just one day ago you started a similar thread that was locked down.

As for kernel 3.x, some very industrious people including Hetalk,Adi_pat and some others are setting up a UART.and I have complete faith in them, as you should.

So please do not set up threads just for the sake of gossiping.it won't do the community any good.if u want to help contact any of the above members.

Nuff said.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ezence01:
I got my one x last week and rooted it a few days ago via the all in one method found here ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952426 ) and everything worked including superuser. After a few days of use I decided to try the icecoldjelly aokp rom found here ( http://onexroot.com/one-x-roms/icecoldjelly-aokp-rom-for-rooted-one-x-android-4-1-2/ ). The rom flash said successfull and so did the gaps zip. Then when I pressed reboot the phone never cam back on. I tired living it charging overnight in case it lost charge (even though it showed almost full before I flashed). I'm not sure but I think I may be out luck?

Is there anything I can try to get this thing to boot up?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
You flashed an international ROM, you now probably have an expensive paperweight. Sorry, please read the stickies next time

You may be able to dd a partition 4 to your phone if someone dumps one for you, and if you know how/someone is willing to help.

First go try this http://unlimited.io./qhsusbdload.htm

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ezence01:
I figured as much. For some reason I mistook the international rom for the att one :(

If I tried to exchange it, would att be able to notice this?

I'll try your link first, thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
Umm, yes they will notice it. Just don't run over it with your car and make an insurance claim :\

If you can install Ubuntu 12.04 and teamviewer i'd be willing to try and help you
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ezence01:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
don't tell me you want to start a tutorial on dd'ing to restore the partition that was overwritten by icecoldjelly that would be opening a big can of worms ? although maybe not since they are already bricked :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
I will try that if I can't fix it.

They are already bricked so it won't hurt any more than it is right now

If I can fix this guy's phone, then i'll consider starting a tutorial.

I'm going to document everything as I do it, and make it noob proof. IF it works. BIG FAT IF :)

Right now we are trying to time it right and get his phone into emmc mode.. one that's done, I think we should have this problem fixed.

Windows recognizes it as QHSUSB_DLOAD (so its still alive), but when he holds down power, no lights flash, making this hard to time

---------- Post added 28th October 2012 at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was 27th October 2012 at 11:52 PM ----------

Is your mmcblk0p4 from 2.20? I don't know if that would matter.

I think it's because we are using Ubuntu 12.10 and not 12.04, will report back eventually..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
12.10 is not happening, if it's successful on 12.04, even just the unbrick method, I'm not concerned about the downgrade anymore, this could be good news for our little international rom lovers

Will try 12.04 sometime today
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
sorry i was out...no partition is from 1.85 or maybe even 1.73 don't remember,

any luck ?? have you tried to talk to beaups or 18th.abn ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Unbricking has been a real pain in the butt using ubuntu, we found it to much easier and more successful using tinycore from a bootable USB. I don't know why, but it's been proven on several devices so try that. Also, p4 holds the device imei and cid, when it gets corrupted in may be causing the soft brick because p12 is dependent on its information since it also displays the device imei and phone info, so do p12, make sure your using a signed image and do p4, which can be any p4, the imei will just have to be repaired afterward. It will spring to life, I promise you;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
@crappy, nah we had to stop for the night cause I had to get up early and get senior pictures taken.

I had him install Ubuntu 12.04 rather than use a LiveCD, so we'll try it again later today.

@18th

We got to the point where it starts writing p4, but hangs and continuously sends the Reset, I posted in the thread over at the evo LTE forum asking about it, holding the power button for 30+ seconds as suggested prints an error cannot reset device

I am using mmcblk0p4 from crappy, and your hboot from dropbox.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
On the hox, you only need to hold down the power button for about 10-12 seconds so 30 may be too long and sending a time out to the emmc recover tool
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
oh cool you found the signed hboot from 18th.abn i was about to send it to you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Also, what I said about tinycore, you can send files in 1mb increments instead of ubuntu, where your stuck with 24kb increments, it will be much faster, and less chance of any data fragmentation. It's also good, if your going to write something up so people can just use a 12mb bootable USB over a full ubuntu live cd/USB.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
successful in restoring p4 ? the suspense is killing me....:p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
None of the people with bricks are on. I'm about to just update my hboot to the 2.20 firmware, and brick it myself, then downgrade and unbrick
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
that's sacrifice for the community :highfive:

you saw 18th.abn post about using tiny core ? not on windows so can't help there (i'm on a mac...shhhhhh) :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
I'm more worried about not being able to downgrade my bootloader than unbricking.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Its tested and works across the board, just no thread written or tutorial. I personally don't have a lot of time anymore to maintain a thread so I've been hoping someone else was going to do it......absolutelygrim:rolleyes:

You'll get a pile of thank you's:D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Alright man. If I can't recover my HOX, will you help me out?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
I would keep working with someone already bricked ......because...........what hasn't been tested............ once you do the 2.20 ruu, you will still have the new sbl partitions from that firmware.......so once you downgrade the hboot to 1.09 doesn't mean that the protection is going to change on the boot partition, so once 2.20 protection is in place, even tho you will have the lower hboot doesn't mean that the protection on the boot partition will change, meaning it doesn't guarantee that you won't have to dd boot.img the same as with 1.14 hboot. Let me confirm that first, or if you get a unbrick and downgrade have the person flash from sense to aosp or aosp to sense and make sure it boots.

If you do go ahead with it, yes I will gladly help if u get caught up. I'll pm u my gtalk
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
you have the MAN's blessing, what else do you need. LOL :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
One of the bricked users is online. I will test this with him, as I'd like to have him get his phone working before i destroy mine
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
wise decision...otherwise there is always the option of driving over it of course (see my sig) :silly:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dustin4vn:
my best bet is to call HTC and tell them that the phone died on you for no reason.

just don't answer why, say you don't know

I did the same thing, and I hard bricked my phone, nothing turned on, not even charging light or anything.

Send it to them and they'll fix it :P
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
Were trying to help people out of this and figure a way out to help..every one doesn't have 200 bucks to pull out of their ass
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Another big reason none of these methods were ever posted in the past is our forums are watched (of course) and exploits are closed off pretty quickly......already, since this has become more public I can confirm there will be updates coming that make this emmc mode much harder to exploit and the window to write in is much much shorter....already only 0.5-1 second. So, minds well go full on with it and those who take the update won't have the luxury, but at least the information will be readily available for 2.20 users and below.........

It can't reset the device, when it says that hold power button for about 10 seconds, let off and wait for a few seconds until it starts again

Device will always be sdx12, x is the only variable. To find x value, open up a seperate terminal,

sudo -s

cd /dev

ls sd*

Now press and hold power for 10-12 seconds, release

Now spam ls sd* by pressing up arrow, enter, up arrow, enter.....keep on doing it until the partitions enumerate(you will suddenly see a long list of them)

Theres only one sd(x)12, that's where you want to send the files too using the emmc recover tool

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
great idea so you can do it all over again.. we're then wondering why carriers like ATT force manufacturers into locking bootloaders and why insurance keeps getting more expensive :( :mad:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
When it said cannot reset device, did he do a hard reset again to see if it started back up again?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
We've been trying to reset it, holding for ~10 seconds, and it usually does nothing. Just recently we got it to get that far
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Ya, he has to hard reset it several times and the emmc tool will start writing again each time, picking up where it left off each time

I did the same thing, messed it up completely. like his

I send it in and after 2-3 weeks they were able to revive it.

I DOUBT anyone able to revive hard brick

send it it to the company, they know what to do.

for the record I DID SENT THEM MY PHONE, so I know this situation can be fix.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Cool, don't care. If you aren't going to help get out of the thread. Of course they.can fix it. They have the software.available and can.just put a new motherboard

Ok, do you know how to make a bootable USB?

distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/4.x/x86/release/TinyCore-current.iso

http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Make a bootable USB using tinycore.

When you get into tinycore, plug your phone into a USB port, back USB preferred.

and then follow these directions.

1.) Open up terminal emulator

2.) type sudo -s

3.) type cd /dev

4.) push and hold power for 15 seconds (on your phone), IMMEDIATELY AFTER RELEASING POWER BUTTON

5.) ls sd*

6.) do the command over an over again...use up-arrow then enter to repeat the command. you should be executing the command around 3-4x per second.

7.) repeat 4-6, hopefully we get some results

what we are looking for is stuff named sdX12, sdX13, etc. for a total of about ~30 numbers

X indicates a wildcard, it can be ANY letter, for example.. sdc12 or sdf12

report back to me
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DevinCharles:
I'm getting tinycore now, I'll let you know what happens.

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

Got it.

sda sda2 sda4 sda6 sda8 sdb sdb2 sdb4 sdb6 sdb8 sdc sde sdf1

sda1 sda3 sda5 sda7 sda9 sdb1 sdb3 sdb5 sdb7 sdb9 sdd sdf
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Remove any unneeded USB devices and try it again!

:)

we want sdX4 and sdX12 the most, everything else is just 'there' sdX12 may not show up because your hboot is not bricked

Also. Does sda4 or sdb4 disappear on the next ls sd* ? If it was there prior, then it is not the one we are looking for.

can you show me a list of before emmc mode, and then a list of after emmc mode (emmc mode is what happens after you hold the power for 15 seconds and let go, which is what makes those partitions show up)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DevinCharles:
So... I've got everything disconnected besides usb keyboard/mouse, usb key with tiny core, and phone... I get all the same stuff.

Can I pull the usb key once tinycore is up and running? Looking for an old ps/2 keyboard right now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Reboot back into tinycore

sudo -s

cd /dev

ls sd*

post results

put the phone into eMMC mode (by holding power for 15 seconds)

spam ls sd* (you should already be in /dev as root)

post results

**DO THIS AFTER YOU DO THE OTHER 2 STEPS**

one more thing.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40181085/evo.zip

extract to desktop.

open up terminal emulator

cd Desktop

cd evo

chmod +x getbrickdrive.sh

sudo ./getbrickdrive.sh

post results, it should say your bricked phone is at dev/sdX
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DevinCharles:
I rebooted tinycore, sudo -s, cd /dev,ls sd*

I get the same as before, with phone disconnected. Tried again holding the power button on the phone for 15 seconds, release and immediately repeat ls sd* command, still nothing. Maybe I'm missing it entirely. I'll keep trying.

I'm working on getting a browser in tinycore to grab that file, still new to linux, bear with me... Thanks for all the help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
once you run that script it should help us rule out some things
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DevinCharles:
Well I must be doing something wrong. Still no difference in the ls sd* text.

Downloaded the file from dropbox, upzipped to Downloads (tried Desktop but I can't seem to cd to Desktop or desktop), ran the commands you told me to and I get this:

sed: unmatched '\'

Your bricked phone is accessible at /dev/sd
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Ok, well we'll pick this up again tomorrow. Could you install Ubuntu 32 bit for me? I'll give you a quick tutorial, and I'd like to see some things. Then you should be able to repeat by yourself on Tinycore again

Since it's in Downloads did you try this

cd Downloads

cd evo

chmod +x ./getbrickdrive.sh

sudo ./getbrickdrive.sh
