[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
I'd need a few things for me to want to buy it:

Large battery that's replacable.

LED notification light.

2 GB of RAM because 1 isn't enough, and I know because I've had the Note and the S2, and it shows.

If it has those 3 things, then I'll think about it. Any one of them and I'm not going to even think about it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornbread0715:
Nope the screen is smaller that's why I have the note series because of the screen size. I have also found when htc and Motorola make phones with high spec the battery tends to never hold up well

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCA.:
Good points.

S2 lacks a notification light which is annoying to say the least.

Can't comment on the RAM yet cos I haven't used a phone with more than a gig yet.

Large battery is essential. Can live without a user replaceable one but I haven't seen a modern phone with a battery large enough to satisfy me. (Remember how long your old Nokia 3310/3410 used to last?).

Actually using an extended battery in my S2 now. This thin device trend is coming at the cost of bigger batteries... Not worth it at all if you ask me.

One thing I would add to that list is an SD card slot. No slot, no sale. Ridiculous thing to omit imho.

I come from a long line of HTC phones. They are all good but Note 2 is the only one i've used that i need not worry about it dying on me before my work is done. My One X battery last me on a working day, at most 6 hours. The Note 2 has left me impressed with over 15 hours.

Unless you don't mind flashing custom ROM to your HTC, official updates take ages so reach. That being said, i'll probably get the red HTC J for my wife :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
Im here in the US my biggest concern are the Radios (modems). I have had both Samsung and HTC phones. We are in 4g here I had a Galaxy Nexus and I curently have a S3. The modems on the Nexus were horible The S3 is a lot better but not as good as both my old Thunderbolt and the Rezound. HTC's radios are right up there with Moto who IMO have the best. The S3 picks up 4G most times when its strong but cant seem to hold on to it. I love the screen on the S3 but lets face it 5"s not that much bigger than 4.8"..5.5" on the other hand is huge just what my old eyes need. So what to do smaller screen or not so good Modems? Maybe Sammy made them better but I dont think so I dnt think that is one of there main concerns.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
I think the only thing missing is replaceable battery.

I've had to return my note 2 grey due to gap between bezel and screen so I might just wait for butterfly before I purchase again! I've had 2 with the same issue.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigel_s:
OK, so I have just got my nice shiny new KFHD and something is already driving me mad...

After mucking around with it for a while, I'd got loads of shortcuts on the Carousel that I didn't want and so went through them and deleted them one at a time (wouldn't it be nice if there was a "Clear Carousel" setting somewhere?).

However, on re-syncing the device they are all back again!

Thinking that I'd done something wrong I went through them again and double-checked that they were gone (by shutting down and restarting the device). Yup, all gone... Until I synced again and they all came back.

Grrrrr.........

Before I turn the KFHD into a flying plate (not forgetting to open the window first), is there s simple way to prevent this from happening?

Any help, advice or guidance would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Nigel.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chelle01:
Not that I know of, some things you can control in the individual settings, but mine is like that. I clear everything then go to any app and it would throw all my books back on the carousel and I mean ALL. That was one reason I rooted, it was driving me crazy, ocd.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigel_s:
So by rooting your device, have you been able to prevcent this from happening - if so, how?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N_Jones:
when you root you can use a different launcher.

I have an HTC TP2 from T-MObile, Windows mobile 6.1. My phone speaker no longer works. If I get a phone call I either have to put it on external speaker phone or plug in headphones to hear the other person. not looking to spend the money on a new phone. does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thebrenda:
i have tried a soft and hard reset and have pulled the battery. but still no luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wizardknight:
If a hard reset did not resolve the issue, and you are running stock software I would guess that it is a hardware issue. Specifically the speaker has failed, and you will need to replace/look for faults on the ribbon cable inside the lcd panel where the internal speaker is attached.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
This. Unless you've done it before, you're likely to break something as well - taking apart a mobile phone (or rather the 'putting back together' part...) is NOT simple.

[HTC Wildfire S] grex70:
Thanks to this site I now have a rooted Wildfire S which I have added Link2sd and partitioned the SD card to put my apps on.

I have downloaded a separate message app and am wanting another music player. Although I have looked through other posts I can't seem to find a definitive list other than the advice of freezing apps for a while first before deleting

Can anyone tell me if it is safe to delete these once a replacement has been downloaded or would I be better of using another (more streamlined) ROM and adding the things I want then?

Any help and advice muchly appreciated!
[HTC Wildfire S] _hito_:
Yes you can replace it with other downloaded softwares, as an advice, backup the stock software, install the replacement software you want like Go Sms Pro replacement for stock sms software and uninstall the stock one, sms and mms will now handled by Go Sms, if not then reinstall the stock one, I've once done that sms thing on my wildfire s without any problem.

Make sure backup the stock one which you want in replacement with others..
[HTC Wildfire S] Dr. Globbyglob:
All I can say is look through system/app/ and see what looks okay 4 u.
[HTC Wildfire S] Pr3no:
You can just freeze the unwanted apps with Titanium Backup,
[HTC Wildfire S] tizzy7prelude:
The way i tried is to make a full back up then change/modify/delete bits and bobs to be replaced eg. Standard messaging with handcent, android keyboard with swiftkey3, htc lock screen with magic locker and gallery with quckpic. Restart the phone and see if it works. In theory as long as you dont delete actual operating apps you should be fine sorry there isnt a definite answer.. Oh and i found sometimes freezing didnt work, you actually need to delete them

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Sounds cactus. If you can get hold of a jig, you might as well try it. But it's probably a 0.000000000001% chance of working.

Why has it crapped itself ? Who knows. Electronics have a habit of dying for no apparent reason.

If it's still under warranty & you're lucky, they might not be able to tell you've been running non-stock firmware on it & replace/repair it for you. If they can tell & decide to charge you to fix/replace it, it may be able to be JTAG repaired, tho it sounds like a hardware failure to me so that may not be possible.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanstorm:
Jigs look scary to implement!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Devi0124:
I'm sure you could root and edit the build prop to make the play store think it's a tablet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinaldistic:
wouldn't build.prop edit break other things like wallet (when we get it)?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -viperboy-:
you can change the build.prop lines that say ro.sf.lcd_density to whatever you you want. 160 is wayyy too small and the status bar will FC on you. I'm trying 240 right now. Everything seems good so far, but this may cause issues with apps or the Play Store down the road.

You must be rooted to change these values. Also, there are 2 places that you have to change this value. Why? No idea. There shouldn't need to be more than 1 entry for LCD density in the build.prop. so change both, save, and reboot.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Davewadd3:
Is there a way to do this without root because uh, I don't want to sound like a noob but I have a zoppo zp998 and its a Chinese phone, and other is no help out there to root it because not many people know what they are. I can't work out how to do it myself because in recovery mode everything is written in Chinese. The screen is 5.5" and I think this tricking it into thinking it's a tablet would be a great way to get full use out of the screen, problem it is I also can't flash a ROM or boot a tablet kernel because of the whole Chinese thing..
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] willing_to_cooperate:
Hello fellow XDA'ers!

I have come into possession of a tablet that has the following problem:

When applying the OTA update to the SGH-i957 LTE tablet from Rogers, the previous owner plugged in the tablet into a mains power supply.

Because of this, I was told that the OTA update did not "complete." Specifically, at device reboot, the tablet was not accessing the newly updated ROM. At this point, the owner went into a bit of a panic:

- They hooked up the device to ODIN3 v1.85, with no response;

- They wiped all data & performed a factory reset;

- They wiped the cache partition;

- They formatted /cache;

- They formatted /data;

- They formatted /system

- They also made sure all settings were clear.

I tried to restore via Nandroid, but I get the following output via CWM-based Recovery (v5.5.0.4):

restoring boot image...
restoring system...
restoring data...
".android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.androidsecure."
restoring cache...
Restore complete!

Obviously, this isn't good. But wait, there's more! When I am trying to activate the option to "mount USB storage," I get the following error:

E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

I opened the CWM recovery log, and like the Stanley Kubrick movie "The Shining," the log printed following 10 to 12 times:

failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: No such file or directory.

I have yet to connect the device to my computer, as I don't want to mess it up any further. The tablet is currently plugged in to a mains power supply, awaiting resurrection.

I have experience in successfully restocking & flashing my Samsung Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000) via ODIN with Overcome/CM9, so I am more than happy to troubleshoot and thoroughly document anything that is happening with the tablet.

I have searched this specific forum for threads that relate to OTA failed updates, but I have not seen a similar thread or post.

I fully promise to document this problem in this thread if other people have issues in the future relating to this problem.

Therefore, how do I bring this tablet back to its former glory of sweet LTE-goodness?

Thanks,

willing_to_cooperate
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Eun-Hjzjined:
Download the file here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-I957R&pcode=RWC&os=1&type=1#firmware

Get into download mode, Use Odin to apply it. That should get your tab running again.

I went through something like this a little while ago.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] willing_to_cooperate:
It works! It came back from the dead!

It worked!

For anyone that may have the same problem:

1) Put SGH-i957 into download mode (turn off, then hold power and volume up-down keys):

2) When you see a warning, make sure to press the volume up key (therefore, if you're looking at the tablet screen with the power cord outlet on the left hand side, it would be the bottom rocker button, furthest away from the power button).

3) Connect to ODIN v1.85.

4) Load the firmware into the PDA slot.

5) Make sure that Re-Partition and Flash Lock are NOT checked.

6) Make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked.

7) Press start.

The tablet will go through its process, and may reboot 1-2 times. It will build a cache (you will see the Android figure with a geometric ball rotating in its stomach).

After that, it should boot into your carrier's logo screen, with setup of the device.

Thanks again, Eun-Hjzjined!

This process also removes root from the tablet. However, no hiccups when re-installing root.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] PierreLaFrance:
Hi thanks for all your help!

I have an i957 on ATT in the US, and previously had rooted with DaG v2 Kernel, worked great.

Yesterday I used the stock i957M (Bell) Update to get on ICS. Failed on Modem (known issue mo XDA), but rebooted and works fine.

It removed the root (as yours did above) - when I tried to re-root with same kernel on ODIN, everything locked up. Had to re-do the firmware with ODIN as in your entry above - now back in action.

Question: If there was some way you re-did your root so it was compatible with your build, can you point me to it?

Did some searching around, and only found dated sources that talked to how I did original root.

Maybe you have some magic.

Sure would be nice to get SU and CWM again, rather than stock.

[Android General] Komodo Rogue:
My apologies if this thread is in the wrong place. It seems like the best place, but please move to a more appropriate spot if it isn't.

I was wondering if people had opinions on these two new GPUs, given the current/upcoming retail options.

From what I have seen of benchmarks and articles on anandtech, I think it's very likely that the T604 will be generally superior by a good margin. However, the Adreno 320 is available on a 10", 800x1280 tablet (padfone 2), while the Mali T604 (assuming rumors are to be true, and it seems rather confirmed at this point) will soon be available on a 10", 1600x2560 tablet (nexus 10).

Given the quadrupling of the resolution on the nexus 10, which device do you think will perform more smoothly? Obviously a sharp resolution looks great, so that scores the nexus 10 big points, but when paging through the launcher, scrolling chrome, and playing games, which would you expect to maintain a smoother frame rate?

I'm mostly curious about the GPU, but if anyone has any opinions about a dual-core cortex A15 like the Exynos 5250 vs quad core Krait, I would enjoy hearing about those as well! This is all just nerd-dreaming anyway :p

Personally, I would probably go for a nexus 10 if I were to buy a tablet, but I think my 2012 dream tablet would have been Exynos 5/Mali T604 on a 1200x1920, 10" tablet - like the transformer pad infinity - or 1080x1920 on a 7" tablet.
[Android General] Sleepy!:
Bump.

Anyone got any idea about how badly T604 smokes Adreno 320?

And about how badly Rogue will f*** T604?

What's the ETA on A15+Rogue chipsets?

AFAIK, ST-Ericsson is the only one left now that was supposed to be making them, now that OMAP is dead in the water...
[Android General] MrPhilo:
Actually the Adreno 320 is on par with the Mali T604. The Adreno 320 is clocked at 400Mhz compared to 533Mhz on the T604. So if you clocked the Adreno 320 at 533Mhz is should be similar in performance or maybe better.

I don't think Rogue will demolish T604, yes iPad 4 does beat it but be in mind that the A6X actually is really 4 GPU's not like Mali T604 which is actually 4 'Cores' theres a difference (Mind my AMD GPU has 750 cores, what does that mean?) and the Mali T604 power consumption is way less than the A6X and you probably see it in future smartphones. The Rogue should be a competition for the Mali T658.
