there are 2 ways a 1280x720 video won't play full screen and aspect ration.

#1 its not 1280x720 either its simply not 720 tall OR the VIDEO is not 720 tall and the black bars are "built into" the video itself.

#2 the video is 1280x720 but has a built in coding for a "different" aspect ratio which the software on the phone is honoring.

Thanks great tips. Here is a few more:

when looking at a text hold the phone as if making a call and it will dial the contact you were looking at.

Settings->S pen > battery saving, Will conserve battery by not checking for S Pen while it is attached.

In the Camera settings you can enable " Take photos using voice" When you trying to include yourself in the picture you can say things like cheese.or use timer option when its too noisy.

Settings > Blocking mode. You can set a time frame where you will only receive calls and notification from people you want. Good for night time.

Does MHL Adapter works for Galaxy Note II

Hi Guys,

I purchased following MHL adapter and HDMI cable from eBay:

MHL ADAPTERHDMI CABLE

But after connecting everything nothing happening, m wondering if Note II supports MHL adapters !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
Hi there. My wife had an HTC Evo Shift....so she went to the Note II. I have the Epic 4g...like you did. I almost went to the Motorola Photon LTE (waterproof!) buuuut.... I decided to hold out till the Galaxy S 4 next year. Started with the G1 and I'd like to get away from the same 2 year cycle everyone else is on. So, I have to wait till May for my upgrade.

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

It does. 11 pin only (or 5 to 11 pin adapter).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xperiax10.awesome:
But mine is 11pin only, plz cross chk my eBay link...is there any settings I need to do???

from the Giant Killer Samsung Note 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
Have you checked the HDMI cable throgh something else to make sure the TV and the cable and the other device work fine? Once you are sure that the TV and the cable work fine..

then

you can know if something is either wrong with the phone (doubtful) or the MHL adapter is malfunctioning or FAKE and not really a Samsung 11 pin adpater (most likely).

Hey guys sorry I've been gone for so long. I'll be updating the OP in a lil while. Thanks for all the awesome tips and keeping this thread alive. I'll be sure to hit thanks on all those who submit something new.

This is such a great community!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] not.plugged.in:
I beg to differ, Im running 4.1.1 stock on sprint and love the ink effect. In fact I need to find a way so I can pull out my pen without the phone unlocking just so I can see that instead of having to be ocd and turning it off again just to unlock it with that effect.

I have noticed though if you put a security pattern/code on that you dont get the option to swipe hence no ripple or ink

Question for you others though. Have you figure out how to silence the shutter sound when recording or taking video?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] engitool:
Its a law that the shutter sound cant be disabled.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
that would be a fiction here in the US. I am aware of NO such law in fact "ONLY" my cell phones even make an audible sound when I use them most of the time. OK My DSLR's make a small sound (the mirror clacking) but the vast majority of my camera's are silent.

maybe your in another country where there is such a law but I am aware of NO such law in the united states of america.

once you have root its easy enough to simply go in and remove the sound (its just an audio file)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
It is law in Japan and Korea more importantly. There was a bill drafted by Congress to do the same thing here but last I knew it died in File 13.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Devi0124:
I believe this is what you are looking for
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
glad it died here. it would be unconstitutional as its outside the lawful venue of the government to decide such things. just as stupid as the wanting electric cars to "make noise" because some idiot was not paying attention and walked in front of a car and after the fact realizing it was electric went "light bulb" lets blame the car instead of my dumb A&& for walking out in front of a car :)

what next? video camera's must beep while recording? cause yeah you can do 4k video at 12fps for a few hundred bucks now. thats 12 4mp images every second :) Grrr I hate stupid politicians that "appease" idiots among us with stupid laws :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] not.plugged.in:

It won't work without power
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] maverick101:
I don't use it all and I'm not sure if it was mentioned. But, for those using multi-Window. If you long press while it's open. You can can move it from one side to the other side of the screen. or move it to the top or bottom of your screen. Or if it's closed you can long press just the tab and slide it wherever you like the tab part to be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcossack88:
Sprint is the only current carrier in the US that does not allow you to disable the shutter sound, but yes congress is looking to sign it into law. But, that won't mean a thing for modders...especially when rooting will no longer void your warranty in 2013.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
to the best of my knowledge it was never a warranty void issue unless they can show the rooting was the "cause" of the warranty issue. (this is US law from what I understand and stems from auto makers an inkjet makers trying to void your warranty for using third party parts or ink)

now in reality it would be hard for you to "fight" a provider who voided your warranty for rooting but to the best of my knowledge it is in violation of existing law to do so unless you can show the rooting was the "reason" for the claim.

The file for the camera shutter is in there if you use root explorer or some other root file explorer. Also the annoying beep when you plug in the charger. Camera focus, etc. Just be careful and rename them to ".bak" instead of deleting them just in case big brother does decide to make it illegal. Stupid big brother.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgmoran:
Hello guys!

Today I was watching the tutorial from curser4eva.com to get AirView on the N7000. I wasn't successful and I get a little frustrated.

I don't really know why but I changed the permissions of the etc/permissions directory to: rw--r--r-- (0644) using Solid Explorer, and then restart my phone, since then I'm not able to access to my interal or external sdcard and also cannot access to a lot of apps.

Here is what I did exactly:

Using Solid Explorer, I copied the com.sec.feature.hovering_ui.xml file from my sdcard and tried to paste it in the etc/permissions directory but it said that there wasn't enough free space (I got the same message few days ago when I've tried to paste and apk. into the system/app directory).

And after this, I change the etc/permissions folder permissions to: rw--r--r-- (0644) using Solid Explorer, and then restart my phone, and after everything loads, a bunch messages of Force Closed services (dropobox, youtube, gapps services, for example) Pops up.

Then I open Solid Explorer to try to restore the permissions, and immediately pops up this message: Error - Cannot browse to "/storage/sdcard0"- An unknown error occured.

Then I jumped to the system root and accessed to etc/permissions and restored the permissions to: rwxr--xr--x-- (0755) and restart my phone, but nothing changes.

Finally in CWM recovery I flashed again the Jelly Bean eybee ROM to try to fix it, without any good result.

And right now I don't know what else could I do, because, in case you haven't noticed yet, I'm a freaking noob :crying:

Information could be useful:

I'm running Android 4.1.1

Baseband: N7000XXLS1

Build number JRO03C.N7000XXLS2

I'm also able to access to the Sdcard with Root Browser, and noticed that all files dates changed to: Dec 31, 1969 06:00:00, and all have the size of: 0.00B

Thanks in advance for your advices!!!..... And an apology if I'm wasting your time.

- José González
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamal Ahmed:
Reflash the room you were on when you changed the permission...

If that doesn't solve then make a titanium backup and do a factory reset, then restore apps

Thanks for your replys.

I will do your advices tonight.

Also, can you tell me which are your permissions and ownership of the storage and sdcard folders? Mine are:

Storage: r--xr--x-- (0550) , owner: 1000 system, group: 0 root.

Sdcard0: rwx--rwx--rx-- (0775), Owner: 1000 system, Group: 0 root

I'll wait fot your answer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R@J$3K#@R:
I copied the "com.sec.feature.hovering_ui.xml" and i didnt face any problem

Actually you are required to change the permissions of xml file..not for the etc/permissions folder

And permissions of storage : r-xr-x--- ,owner: system ,group:1028: 1028

sdcard : rwxrwxrwx, owner: 0:root ,group: 0:root
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgmoran:
Solved!

Thanks guys!

I followed Jamal Ahmed recomendation. I did a factory reset from recovery and then reflash the ROM, and that's it!. And also I was able finally to copy de .xml to the permissions folder :).

Hi Nexus fans,

I love the specs of Nexus 10 esp the awesome display plus the fact that - NO Touchwiz :)

But its the design (looks) which is troubling me, cant Google/Samsung do better than this?

I am not Apple fanboy but when I see iPad n Nexus 10 side by side in any video, its the iPad which stands out better !!!

[Nexus 10 General] deluxxe51:
in my opinion the design is okay.. not awesome not bad its just well, okay :)
[Nexus 10 General] Kookas:
I agree with deluxxe. It isn't horrific. It just isn't great.
[Nexus 10 General] BAR7MAN:
Yeah I definitely think they could have done better as well.
[Nexus 10 General] saryu:
it's not as beautiful as LG nexus 4 but i think i love the design of it. I've been waiting for the grippy plastic material for a tablet rather than steel or aluminium.

i love the front facing speaker design and overall i think it's quite beautiful. but then, i haven't see the actual product just like most of us. So i think this is too early to decide.
[Nexus 10 General] Twoey.:
Not overly impressed with it, it looks too much like the Galaxy Note 10.1 to me.

Maybe this isn't the tablet for you.

But to answer OP's question; I think the design is okay, I wouldn't be embarrassed to be holding one. But next to tablets like the Transformer Infinity and even the iPad. It looks not so good.
[Nexus 10 General] artlove:
nexus 4 looks more nice
[Nexus 10 General] Kookas:
The whole 'not trying to look like iPad' thing isn't really an excuse for it to look ugly. The Nexus 4 does not look like an iPhone 5, nor did the Galaxy Nexus look like a 4S. Yet they both look amazingly sleek.
[Nexus 10 General] jazzespresso:
If Google let Asus design the Nexus 10, instead of Samsung, I am pretty sure it will look much much better. Of course, Samsung needed to tweak the design, so Apple won't sue them. That's the reason Samsung come up with this design starting with Galaxy Tab 10.1N, then Note 10.1, so design carried over to Nexus 10.

I agree that Nexus 10 does not stands out like iPad, but believe the specs and pure Android 4.2 will be the biggest selling point.

I am still debating whether or not should grab Nexus 10 since already have Nexus 7 (loving it!). But considering how good Nexus 7 is, I might not stop myself and order one!!
[Nexus 10 General] iazsibassam:
im sorry i dont like it hehe

im prefer sony :D
[Nexus 10 General] whoster69:
Looks to me are pretty much irrelevant. I'm not saying it is ugly or pretty or anything like that. I just don't really care, so I don't think about it. Function is what matters to me. How something looks and what others think about those looks is the kind of thing Apple fans tend to obsess over (and no I don't mean that as a dig toward the original poster).

Those kinds of things just don't really matter to me. It's function/usability does.

I will say this about the design: I like the high resolution display but really wish they hadn't gone quite that far in the pixel count unless they were going to put an even faster CPU/GPU in. I also wish they had added microSD. I will wait to pass judgement on the shape until I've had a chance to use one since I don't know if I will like how this shape works for me yet. I do like the 16:9 aspect ratio.
[Nexus 10 General] Techie2012:
To me it's borderline ugly :D The strip to attach a back cover is atrocious. But if it has great performance and bright crisp display i'm willing to look past the design.
[Nexus 10 General] r3pshow:
2560*1600p screen is better than my 23" lol !
[Nexus 10 General] Croak:
Thing is, ever try to USE the Prime/Infinity for long periods? That metal gets uncomfortable fairly quickly, and those whirls in the back retain an unsettling amount of biological matter in a short period of time.

I have a Tab 8.9 LTE, which has a soft touch back (looks to be much the same stuff they're using on the N10), with rounded corners, and it's comfortable for hours. Granted, it's not a brick like a 10" Transformer Infinity (and the N10 will weigh about the same), but the materials used go a long way towards making it more comfortable.

Not to mention letting Google/Samsung sell it at a competitive price, because machining aluminium or magnesium is far more expensive than injection molding plastic, especially on a device the size of a tablet.

You want a more premium device, hold out for the next-gen Samsung or Asus tablets that are sure to show up at CES early next year.

25x16 IPS/PLS screens will be commonplace, Samsung will quite likely have a quad-core Exynos 5 ready by then, Asus will be using something like the S4 Pro or Tegra 4. And they'll be "sexier", made out of more costly materials.

But they won't be stock AOSP, they will be more expensive, and they're several months off, not a week and some change.

And if Google let Asus design the Nexus 10, it would have light bleed, screen lift, and just about every other problem that's been endemic to the Transformer (and N7) line. I love my N7 for what it does, hate the fact that I'm on unit #4. I've owned every model of Transformer (OG, Prime, Pad, Infinity) and had to either RMA, return, or sell every one of them. Same with their Zenbooks. Asus makes sexy looking devices, but they can't control quality at ALL.

Samsung's industrial design wins no awards for beauty, but they build their devices MUCH better than Asus. My two year old original Galaxy Tab is still rock solid, as is my year-old-and-much-used Tab 8.9 LTE. And the Tab 10.1 I bought last year and gave to my sister is also holding up great.

[Nexus 10 General] Tomatoes8:
It looks a bit alien but so did the Galaxy S3 which now looks gorgeous. Hopefully this has the same effect in person. However, even if it doesn't, I love how the ergonomics look which could be the reason why it looks so weird. If that is the case, I will take ergonomics over looks any day. Especially since it will most likely stay in the house more than anything else.
