[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artviz:
It is hard to find a thread like my question. As I said my battery life is just fine. I tried many different setups (governors, shedulers, kernel, CPU and GPU steps and voltages). What I can not understand is how watching a 720p TV show streamed over wifi consumes 3x less power as opposed to only surfing the net. While browsing it seems the battery percentage is dropping every minute.

Why doesn't that bother anyone else?? I am sure its not only me. And as I said, I am happy with 1200mhz, cause the phone runs smooth and it lasts about 2 days. I only wish net surfing wouldn't take that much battery. It's definitely to much!

There has to be an answer to that problem. Is there a way to limit only the browser rendering to a specific CPU/GPU clock...?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
Yes, with SetCPU.

So I'm in the car and I noticed that it says if I turn on WiFi it will improve location accuracy even when not actually connected to a WiFi network ... how the heck does that work?

Here's a screen shot. Notice the bottom card.

So yeah if anyone could tell me how this works, thanks :)
[General Topics] zyj1023003926:
You don't have WiFi signal
[General Topics] georgeos:
I don't think you understood what I'm saying. I'm asking how is location accuracy improved by turning on wifi even when not actually connected to a WiFi network
[General Topics] swiftstealth:
I think it can triangulate your location based on distance from WiFi networks within range even if not connected...especially for open WiFi networks. Not sure if closed networks would matter. Since WiFi doesn't broadcast very far I could see how this would be useful...to pick up McDonalds WiFi I have to at least be standing in their parking lot, connected or not!

This is purely my speculation. I'm sure there is a more technical explanation.
[General Topics] georgeos:
Doesn't explain how it can geographically determine location though?
[General Topics] SimonTS:
Yes it does. It explains it perfectly and is quite correct. The Wi-Fi network is located by it's IP address, hence the phone can use that as additional location information.
[General Topics] georgeos:
Ah I was under the impression you couldn't obtain an external IP address without being actually connected to the WiFi router first?
[General Topics] SimonTS:
You might want to have a read of this page on ZDNet - How Google--and everyone else--gets Wi-Fi location data
[General Topics] The 11th plague:
Wow, at least my AP doesn't get to know its position without having me know, it's the phone that's giving it away, but still...

Thanks, this was an interesting one.
[General Topics] SimonTS:
If you're interested then have a look at this page as well. It shows your location based on your IP address, but it is only as accurate as the registered records for the IP address - e.g. for me it reckons I am actually 90 miles away because it bases it on where BT have their central connection point for the dynamic DSL IP assignments.
[General Topics] burnduck:
i believe it means you don't need to be connected to the wifi network, but still needs 3G data connection for it to work.
[General Topics] ynight88:
so that works if there're wifi network within range, not so if there's none?
[General Topics] SimonTS:
Yes.
[General Topics] ShockPuppet:
I had always wondered about this too. For some reason I had assumed it was inacurate and never trusted it.
[General Topics] AtoZ0to9:
Between the towers and my WiFi it's as accurate as the GPS... Puts me right at my house...
[General Topics] Soundfx4:
the very foundation of your reasoning is brittle and fragile. IP addresses only know area, as in city. The only way to know an exact location associated with an IP would be if you were the ISP providing the service, and you knew what customers had what IP addresses and their physical addresses. I better revise this before someone takes it too literal. When I say area, as in city, I don't actually mean the accuracy is that much off, but like you even said, the accuracy is not remotely close to where your network actually is, so it still doesn't make sense. Regadless, again, not saying you're wrong, but what you said really didn't make sense. I'm checking out your link though, because I'm curious as to what the answer to this question is.

I'm not saying you're wrong, just you're reasoning on why it makes sense...well doesn't make sense.
[General Topics] SimonTS:
Rereading what I wrote, it appears I made a mistake when I wrote that. What I should have written was that the Wi-Fi signal gives a known location due to the SSID being transmitted.

If you read the other post with the link to ZDNet, you will see exactly why this is so. I also wrote about the inaccuracy of location by IP Address in a later post.

Hey Guys,

I seem to have installed a program that at random opens up webpage with programs? And at random it opens up a pop-up with the same crappy programs...

Do you guys know of a way to find out which program that does this? And a way to clean all excess spam that it might have installed?

- Thanks in advance :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nm8:
you have to think which apps you installed just before those annoying things pop up. Otherwise try installing AD-Free from the market.

Thanks, I will try adfree :)

-Are there any other ideas?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
I use these to keep my phones junk free:

AirPush Detector

AdAway

avast! Mobile Security

The first two will be fine if you just want to block ads but I like the added protection of avast! too.

It also helps to read the comments before installing any new apps as people will usually complain about spam and ads if they're deployed in sneaky manner ;)

Interesting phone.

Does GPS work with this phone?

You posted a link for the IMEI recovery tool.... does the phone somehow have problems with the IMEI so one will have to use this tool?
[Android General] Dezmen:
GPS works fine, even better with custom firmware and patch.

As for IMEI tool, it's just for issues that may happen or even not :eek: Just shared good and handy tool :angel:

Hello xda'ers,

is me again, sorry to bother but today I bring to you a famous mod from AOKP: back longpress to kill.

I decided to post here too because I see LPX roms (ported from I9100), and this is tested and working on LPX roms.

You can find the how to into my github here

It s really easy to do and port an any other samsung rom, simply check out github commit, it s very clear.

I made it for salesale's neat rom, u can find a flashable zip here

Would be appreciate to make a nandroid backup, just in case.

If u have requests for other roms please ask to your rom developer to contact me.

Cheers

Hello
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Quarmzz:
I found a way to easily fix the S Note issue on our device after flashing the 'leaked' JB.

I just thought I should start a new thread since the answer to this question is mostly buried deep down in long threads and it's difficult combing through a lot of them.

This work here is NOT mine. I'm just putting it up here. It was XDA users lee yun khong and nokiamodeln91 who drew my attention to a zip file uploaded by XDA user vijai2011 .

Many thanks to them.

The mediafire link http://www.mediafire.com/?bktsncq1cefybqg

So this is how I fixed it on my phone. Tried it on Classic Rom and Rocket Rom and it worked so I believe it will work on the others.

1) Download the zip file, extract them and put them on your SD card.

2) Uninstall S Note from your device.

3) Locate and install the two apks in the zip file as normal apks.

4) That is it. S Note should work now. You would also see the widget in the widget drawer

Greetings from Ghana :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ZacDerbyshire:
Does it enable productivity tools? I got S-Note working a while ago but if this enables the use of productivity tools it will be great.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Quarmzz:
no please. the productivity tools icon is still grey. I just hope the final official JB ROM would have it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] dinoaus:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] sda5:
no work v4.1.2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] wjlung:
When I was using 4.1.1 XXLS2, SNote worked but productivity tools was grayed me. No matter how I followed the instructions on the numerous threads I found, not able to enable the tools. Now on Bangsti's 4.1.2 XXLS7 and SNote works with productivity tools enabled. I did the three wipes plus format preload before I flashed XXLS7 following instructions stated in OP of the rom thread.

You can remove all instances of SNote and SMemo using Titanium then run com.sec.android.app.snotebook-1.apk found in /data/app. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ethan3686:
sttill not working..It just crashes as you start it and and phone vibrates for less than a second and i get the message 'unfortunately it stopped workin'...Help i want SNote back!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] scorpion100:
does not work
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Quarmzz:
Mmm if you did exactly as I wrote then I do not know why it is not working. However, the latest leak (XXLS7) already has that problem fixed. Plus productivity tool works now. So I recommend you download and flash any of the ROMs.

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] hornus:
I have the latest leak (XXLS7) installed and I have the same issue, SNote crashes. Tried uninstall and install back, but no luck.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] solarboy:
I read you need to format "Preload" from within CWM before installing the ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Quarmzz:
Reboot into recovery (Im sure you are on a safe kernel) wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache. Use MD5 to check if youve downloaded the full ROM, now install. I think it will automatically reboot. Set the device up and let it settle. It should work! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] hawkrider:
Unfortunatelly not work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Quarmzz:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ben3x:
Exactly what happen to me. First it vibrates once (I knew it when it vibrates, it would start), the it vibrates twice. After that, Unfortunately it stopped working. I've tried uninstall and reinstall, like you said, but still no luck. I tried restore from titanium, no luck either. Tried restoring S choice, it went spinning and spinning (waited for about 20mins). Now i have out of idea. :confused::mad::eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Quarmzz:
That is rather unfortunate. But I suggest you download any of the latest leaked ROMs in the Android Development Section of the Galaxy Note forum. For that one, the S Note force close is fixed for EVERYONE. Also, the Productivity Tools works.

So please download any of the ROMs (XXLS7) and let's see what happens..

Cheers.

Wouldn't that delete the notes I've written before upgrading to JB ?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] trancemaster261:
I am having a dilemma, and google is not forthcoming with relevent results, nor was searching the threads here.

So here is my issue, I have updated my sgh-i957r lte to the stock 4.0.4 ics, and cannot find a plausable way to root.

All of the guides on flashing I have found are either for honeycomb, or a leaked version that is not compatable.

The adb guides I have found are also for the previously leaked versons of ics or honeycomb.

So I suppose my question is, how would I go about rooting this update?

I am a fairly new android user, and this has me stumped.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] trancemaster261:
Anybody? I would really appreciate some input on this, even if it's just saying if it is even possible or not.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Eun-Hjzjined:
Go to the i957 development thread, then look for the root method.

Ignore kernel stuff, download the Odin package and the clockwork recovery.

On a windows PC, unzip Odin, and put the clockwork recovery in the PDA slot and run it.

Then, on your tab, download the TWRP 2.1.1 package and install it from clockwork recovery.

That will get you a really good recovery, but not root.

AFAIK, there is no root package for ICS as a standalone zip or Odin tar. But you can then try out danno 2.0.6 and go from there.

Its a telus base, but that doesn't matter as long as you don't use the rogers apps. This will get you rooted.

You can also try nrvates cm10 or dannos AOKP, which are both excellent.
