I have been noticing the battery life isnt quite what ive expected it to be... ive searched around and saw this link letting you download a supposedly working kernel for miui..

The link to the download:http://www.mediafire.com/?e79hokbwsllh6wy

Im just wondering if this will work.. or is there no way to change the miui kernel and still have my phone working?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bellanirys:
Hi! as some of you might know i had problems with my past samsung galaxy note i717, so i returned it. was a bad experience but i'm in loved with the cellphone and i don't wanna make mistakes twice.

I'm trying to buy a new one through ebay, and i want it closer to new.

so i found the "seller refurbished"

and i found as "new" a "floor demo model"

and another one listed as new but without it plastics but under samsung warranty.

What would u guys recommend? and what does "floor-demo model" means?

would you recommend me buying the i717 or the note II? (i read is the same thing... just for the screen)

thanks :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jelliottz:
"Refurbished" is one that was returned, checked over, corrected, and sent back out. Usually has a warrenty.

"New Floor Demo" was probably a device on display at a retail outlet. While it can be classified as "new" since no one ever bought it, it probably has the most use. Everyone and their mother touched it.

"New w/o plastic + warrenty" was probably bought, opened, tested, and put back in the box. I would only worry that the warrenty wouldn't transfer if it has already been registered.

Now to the Note I v. Note II: they are definetly not the same device. Pretty much every factor and spec is different. Dual-core S3 v. Quad-core exynos, 1gb ram v. 2gb ram, 1280x800 v. 1280x720, 5.3" v. 5.5", Android 4.0.4 v. Android 4.1... they list goes on.

If it were me, I wouod buy the Note II if the funds were available. It really is quite pricey. Subsidized would be a different story. I would read reviews on both. Make the decision. One is older but still more than capable. The other is brand new and currently sitting on top of the cell phone mountain.

Oh boy... haha. So my Windows 8 pro disk arrived today and I installed it and everything and told it to keep NOTHING, but it insisted on keeping shizz anyways, so then I decided it'd be a good idea to hit to hit the RESET button in the Control Panel since I had my shiz backed up anyways and WOW... I have some of the BEST PC specs out there and this thing is taking it's sweet ass time. Lol. It's been 12 hours and it's nearly 22%....

So my question to you guys is... Have any of you ever tried this? How long did it take you? What's your PCs specs? Did you wipe all drives? Any coolio info for me on Windows 8 before I switch back to Mint Linux?

Thanks!

Can't wait to see your replies,

I've had the same issue. I chose to do a full clean on the main partition and after 8 hours, I'm at 54%. Hopefully when I'm off work it will be done but that's not a good sign.

When it's done, I'm going to also be performing another reset but not the full clean. I would truly like to know the real differences between the 2 reset options. Does one delete the partition and format and the other doesn't?

The reset option formats and defrags along with segment checks for errors I believe.

Imo, you're better off just backing your stuff up and formating your stuff from the bios / booting from the Windows 8 disk.

sounds a bit dodgy to me, it shouldn't have taken that long at all

oh an just a quick word to all the "updating is bad" folk out there, its been a long time since Windows actually did a proper "update" updates now consist in dumping all your old crap in a separate folder and installing windows to a new folder. Its very clean and no worse then a fresh install, infact I now recommend updating as all the old crap which users inevitably forget to backup is still there for the taking, I updated this system im typing on from Win 7 to 8 in a little over 30 min, start to finish, virtual drived the ISO, and let it fly like poo of a shovel is it some uber fast system?

well its a quad core AMD 905e 4GB of RAM and a good old WD 1TB 7200 HDD, not too shabby but pretty slow by todays standards

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riveting:
Hello,

I recently bought a Samsung galaxy S2 from Virgin Mobile (i9100M). And I plan to bring it to China to a family member who can only read Chinese.

I have unlocked the phone using the galaxy_S app. However, the phone does not comes with an option to change language to Chinese as with most Samsung phones.

Now what is the easiest and safest way to have the laungage change to Chinese. I am thinking of flashing it to a Chinese Rom. I think any CM9 or CM10 rom also have chinese language support. My idea solution would be flashing it to a offcial chinese rom, e.g. a Hongkong version of stock ICS rom and next time I connect to Samsung Kies, it will recongnize my phone as the same one sold in HongKong, so I can update it in the future? But I don't know if that is possible and if it is risky.

Another solution would be flashing it to a stable CM9 or CM10 rom. Any suggestion of roms and tutorials for flashing?

I also know there is an app called morelocale 2, but it only changes the app name to Chinese, all my settings, menu and dialers are english, is there an replacement for them with Chinese lauguage support?

I would not be able to trouble shooting afterwards, so stability is very important. Any thoughts, useful links would all be welcome.

I understand there is a lot of different instruction thread in the forum for S2, I really have a hard time to go through all of them to figure out which is what I need, as I really just want an answer to my specific situation, (all I need is to have the Simplified Chinese language support), so I created this thread.

Thanks very much.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peteinchina:
I think it's easy

I've got a CM10 ROM (Paranoid Android) and I just went to language and input in settings and changed it to Chinese simplified - in the menu it's at the bottom and looks like this 中国

（简体）. The whole thing changed to Chinese.

A lot of the stuff is still in English because the apps are that way, but all the important stuff is in Chinese, like the address book and messaging etc.

Put on QQ, which they all use, and wechat and you're done.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riveting:
Thanks.

Can I flash it to a Chinese version of stock rom? I am just not sure if all stock version for i9100 model should work for this i9100M model? Ideally, I want it to behave like a phone bought in China, so they can update it via Samsung Kies to the next version of Chinese offcial Jellybeam rom when it is out.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giant22000:
Between LTE being overly battery hungry and the lack of unlimited data, I say no freaking way I want LTE! I've had LTE before and it's eye opening fast, but I think HSPA+ is the golden ticket right now. It's very battery friendly and plenty fast enough for a mobile handset.

I've had 2 Gnex's (maguro and toro) and I can say that the battery on the Maguro Gnex is easily 50% better. As power hungry as these mobile platforms are these days, until they make improvements on LTE power consumption, I will not have another LTE phone as I've had 3 of them and they're all power hungry!

Sounds like Fanboy talk to me. Brings me back to the Iphone 4s launch.

My GS3 gets great battery life and radios are getting better everyday.

No LTE is a dealbreaker. You can't honestly tell me that having this outdated technology is adequate. Not when most people keep heir phones for 2 yrs. T-mobile might not even be around in 2 yrs.

One of Androids biggest selling points is that they are always pushing the boundaries of technology. This is a huge step back.

One of the reasons, Apple products are so solidly built is they wait till the tech is old before they incorporate them into their products. I could get a cutting edge sailboat built but who uses sailboats. The Nexus 4 for is a cutting edge sailboat.

A 1.5ghz Quadcore Krait that's about a hair better than the International GS3. They could have at least gone Quad core Cortex A15.

All this so that I can have "Vanilla Android", if that's the price no thank you I'll stick with Cyanogenmod & AOKP.

I have a gs3 on verizon. I was so excited because it was gonna be my first LTE device and once i got it i was so let down because i get 70mbps down and i cant even use it. Watch like maybe 5 youtube videos....data gone. HSPA+ may be outdated but its more efficient.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Screw LTE. Barely any coverage, battery hog, and over all poor implementation. Price cut FTW
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sololhj:
What I meant is, the chipset is only incrementally better, not leaps and bounds better like many were hoping for. I would take the Quad-core Krait over the dual-core that's in my GS3 but since I would have to give up LTE it isn't worth it to me.

Why would I get this over the LG Optimus G. Every spec is the same except for LTE(wait the Optimus also has a micro-SD)

There were already complaints that the last Nexus(Galaxy Nexus) was underpowered. If the Razr, a phone that was released the same month, had an unlocked bootloader it would have beat the Nexus hands down.

I thought the Nexus line was supposed to be the phone that all other Android devices were measured against. The Optimus is already a superior phone. Its pretty much guaranteed that at 2-3 other phones will be released before Christmas that are better than this Nexus.

The excuse about battery life seems like a cop-out considering the number of Android devices that currently have it. While battery life can always be better it isn't like phones aren't selling because LTE is so bad.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarlJ:
Price cut... pure and simple.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmozaffari:
Here is the weird (sad) thing... I would pay full price and more than usual for a proper Android phone right now... Easily $1000 off-contract. I want something with 2GB of memory, 16GB internal but I'd be ok with 8... and not huge (4.5 but I can live with 4.7) and LTE.

I was waiting for the Nexus but now I'm taking a second look at everything else in the market and trying to figure it out. I'm sick of OS update delays but neither choice seems to be perfect. I'm not ok with 5+ inches though so the Note II is out and GS3 is not even on 4.1 yet which makes me pause.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sololhj:
Let me apologize if I offended anyone, didn't realize I was coming off so rude. Just giving my opinion, I don't claim to know everything, but let me apologize anyway.

I wasn't calling you a fanboy, I was just saying that the "LTE battery hog" stuff was the same talk I heard when the Iphone 4s was released. The same stuff that we at XDA criticized it for last yr

For some the pentile display is a deal breaker. Its never been a dealbreaker for me but my eyes aren't great, I've never been able to see the spaceships in those 3d art paintings and I've never seen a noticeable difference between incremental improvements in display technology. Whether we are talking 720p vs 1080p or pentile vs rgb, I pretty much have to let the experts debate that one

The thing is, my GS3 isn't the flagship Android device, the Nexus 4 is. I just figured it should be pushing the boundaries of the technology. Instead of telling me that LTE isn't ready yet, I think Google should be writing an operating system that handles the radio more efficiently.

As for my IQ, while I don't know how to write programming language and I have never taken an IQ test, I do have both a Ph.D in physiology and and MD degree. If you think my IQ is so low then you probably should stay away from any Hospitals in NYC.

I won't dispute the jerk comment, that part is true.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Regardless, I would not want LTE, it will require more licensing and royalties on Google side, which will raise the price of the device for the consumer. LTE plan will also cost me more money, HSPA speed is fast enough for me. It will also drain battery life faster. So all in all I think its a plus to not have LTE, until maybe LTE become more universal and more deployed one day.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punitenshu:
Sprint GS3 has been on 4.1 for around a week now. If you want the latest and greatest versions of Android, just grab a phone with an active community. The Transformer Prime tablet had a pretty stable JB via custom ROM long before ASUS officially released it--although you've got to be able to tolerate occasional hiccups if you go that route.

For the moment, I've been pretty happy with just running Apex Launcher over Touchwiz on my SGSIII--it's pretty close to what stock JB was on GNex.

Definitely the price cut, it's great to be able to afford a smartphone when it comes out! I'm on T-Mobile and not on contract I am finally going to get to upgrade to a new phone :victory:

I care about LTE, but not until it actually has rolled out nation-wide or at least widely in the area I reside in, and by then I might be on the market for a phone upgrade.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleach168:
LTE is overrated. You always see anecdotal evidence with people posting their speedtest in the 20's, 30's, or even 40 Mbps. The truth is Verizon LTE averages less than 9 Mbps nationwide. That's not much more than what you get with T-Mobile's HSPA+. What's more, is Verizon speeds are getting worse as their 4G network gets saturated. In 2011, they averaged 9.46 Mbps. In June of 2012, they averaged 8.89 Mbps. After the iPhone was upgraded to LTE, I would expect their speeds to be even lower today.
