Excellent! Thank you so much!

Excellent! Another one down. :)

Would either of you be willing to try download the Japanese package?

Thank you so much, both of you!

Im interested in installing other language packs but when I search on google play which ones am I after? Is there an official google or Samsung packs on there?

Id like to try out the Japanese one just need to know which one from where lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jvardrake:
I don't think it will work

Hello.

I am basically in the same boat as you, and I wanted to let you know what I've found out.

I have an AT&T sgh-I317. If I go into Language and Input> Samsung Keyboard, there are two places you can select "Input languages". One is for the top level keyboard settings, and one is specifically for handwriting. Basically, it looks like this:

Settings> Language and Input> Samsung Keyboard> Input Languages

Settings> Language and Input> Samsung Keyboard> Handwriting> Input Languages​

When I went into Settings> Language and Input> Samsung Keyboard> Handwriting> Input Languages, "日本語" (Japanese) was listed as an "Available Language", so I downloaded it. Doing that, however, did not allow me to input Japanese from the stock Samsung Handwriting Input Method. For example, when I tried using the Samsung Input Method to enter text in my dictionary app - even though I had Japanese downloaded - I could still only select English.

I then went back into the settings for the "Samsung Keyboard", and this time went into the top level Settings> Language and Input> Samsung Keyboard> Input Languages menu. By default, I had Deutsch, English (US), Espanol (US), Francais (FR), Italiano, and Korean listed as "Downloaded Languages". Of those, only English (US) was enabled. On that same screen, there is a section for "Available Languages". There are a huge number of languages included in that second list, but Japanese is NOT one of them.

As an experiment, I enabled Korean on this screen, and then went back to the Settings> Language and Input> Samsung Keyboard> Handwriting> Input Languages menu, and enabled Korean there as well. After having done that, I was able to select Korean from the stock Samsung Handwriting Input Method.

From that, I have come to the following conclusion.

Samsung DOES have the Japanese Language pack available for download as a "Handwriting" input language (Settings> Language and Input> Samsung Keyboard> Handwriting> Input Languages). It will work, but it only functions as part of a "Handwriting-to-text" portion of the "Productivity Tool" that is present in the S-Note application.

Samsung does NOT have the Japanese Language pack available for download for the top level keyboard (Settings> Language and Input> Samsung Keyboard> Input Languages). Since they do not have it, you cannot enable Japanese there, and this prevents you from using Japanese Handwriting recognition anywhere other than that one S-Note application.

In short, it makes Japanese Handwriting effectively worthless. They really need to add Japanese to the list of available top level input languages.

EDIT: I wanted to add that I checked the Google Play Store, and I don't see any official Samsung Japanese (or any other) "Language Packs". When they told you that you could download them, I think they meant from inside the settings menus like I told you I was able to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rinwashere:
Thank you for the info! That's disappointing, but looking up S-Note export options in the other forums, I found this:

I know S-Note can export as PNG (not so good for note writing) and PDF. But 1) is the PDF an image or actual selectable text that can be copy and pasted out? I'll live with that! and 2) what HasC said, exporting it out as a text (file? message?) works?

Haven't figured out how to use handwriting to input Chinese. In one of the settings it says you can input Japanese and Korean by handwriting, but in another setting it says you can also input Chinese. I am confused. I am still exploring. This is a lot of fun.:rolleyes:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jvardrake:
To input via Chinese Handwriting with the stock Samsung Keyboard to have to have Chinese (中文) downloaded/enabled in both of these places:

Settings> Language and Input> Samsung Keyboard> Input Languages

Settings> Language and Input> Samsung Keyboard> Handwriting> Input Languages​

Once you've done that, you should be able to go to the app you want to use Chinese Handwriting in, make sure you have "Samsung Keyboard" selected as your Input Method, click the handwriting key on the keyboard (it's the one directly left of the space bar - it looks like a T with a pencil next to it), and then press/swipe the spacebar to select "ZH(CN)". After you do that, you will be inputting via Chinese Handwriting (I'm not sure whether it is traditional/simplified, as I do not speak Chinese).

Again, the reason that Chinese works, whereas Japanese does not, is that Chinese is available as the top level (Settings> Language and Input> Samsung Keyboard> Input Languages) Input Language. I don't understand why Samsung allows the option to download a Japanese language pack for Handwriting, but not for the top level keyboard. Not having it available for the top level setting, makes the handwriting setting useless.

This would be super cumbersome. You would be better off paying the $12USD for "7notes with mazec (Japanese)" (It's available on the Google Play Store. I'd give you a link, but I'm a new user here, and the system is telling me I can't use hyperlinks yet). 7notes is a note application, but it also comes with a Japanese handwriting input method that can be used anywhere on the device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] x2h:
that's so cool. I can input chinese by handwriting now...thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] privard:
Hope this helps

The Galaxy Note sold by Docomo in Japan is capable of using the Japanese handwriting to input text into any app as a regular input method. And it works beautifully--not dependent on stroke order for any character with more than 4 strokes or so (I entered some way, way out of order) and forgiving of misplaced, missing, and extra strokes. Korean, Chinese, and English input methods also available on the device, nothing to download. You can also switch the interface language to english, korean, or chinese (or of course japanese), so you're not stuck with a japanese interface. I spent about half an hour playing with on in the store today and used japanese handwriting to enter text to notes, word processing docs, calendar, browser search box, and a website.

If you happen to be coming through Japan, you can buy an unlocked one from Docomo. I don't know if they have the Note II available yet.

All of that suggests there may be a way to make it happen. You may want to search to see if anyone's cooked up a ROM based on the Docomo ROM yet (might have to search in Japanese).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rinwashere:
For those of you who are using the SGH-i317M from Telus, we do not have Japanese language pack available, nor do we even have Handwriting > Input Languages. I can't even get Chinese handwriting to work.

Thank you for the tip! I mean, on one hand, I'm sad that Samsung (or perhaps, due to licensing, our carrier) is not able to offer this built in. On the other hand, I'm happy to support app writers who bring me the apps that I need!

TL;DR: I guess Samsung didn't give the SGH-i317M (ie. Canadian Note II) CJ handwriting options (K is okay). Until we can get at the ROM, we'll just have to live with 3rd party ones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MobileJesus:
I'm using the GT-N7100 ALJ3 and I've got no Samsung Keyboard> Handwriting> Input Languages option :(

Any way I can just install an .apk into the /system to enable it?

I can only use the English handwriting mode

Bump to see if anyone found a solution to add stock Japanese input to non-Docomo based Galaxy Note 2.

So I don't know if it's just my phone, but push notification of emails in Gmail does not work. There is not option in settings to have Push notification. It only lists never, every 15min, 30 min, hour, 4 hours, once a day... and even when I put it on every 15 minutes, it doesn't notify me when I have an email. I have to manually go in the Email app and refresh the email. My hotmail works great though and it has an option for Push. Did I set up the sync schedule wrong? I have peak schedule at every 15 min, off-peak at every 30 min, peak days selected for every day of the week, peak start time at 6:00am, peak end time at 2:00am and manual for while roaming. This is another concern of mine for this phone. My iphone did a great job of notifying me when emails came in.

Thanks!

Questions:

Under Settings -> Accounts and Sync ... Is sync set as on?

When you click on your gmail account name, it should give you a list of things to sync (mine has: calendar, contacts, gmail)

Is Gmail checked as on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] danzerdelight:
I can't seem to find what you're talking about. I'm pretty new to android. Would you happen telling me what settings to go to? Device settings? Email settings? I'm using the email app for gmail, not the gmail app since I have more than I email address.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cryptoknight:
You'll have to set up your Gmail as a separate "Exchange ActiveSync" account to get proper Push.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] danzerdelight:
That is so much better. Thank you so much!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spycedtx:
Btw, you can use the Gmail app with multiple Gmail accounts. I use it for all of mine, and the email app for non-gmail accounts.

A few months ago I bought two N8000 phones and I was glad they came with full Hebrew menus.

But now I bought a device that came without Hebrew.

So I tried to update the version with this method

bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.it/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html#comment-form

And now the device turns on and works, but the screen remains blank white.

I saw on the forum that people have asked for the problem and you told them they have to replace the DSP_BL file and reflash

The problem is that the links are broken and I can not find the appropriate version for me.

I'd be grateful to anyone who will help me

I have tried full and partial update with many versions:

12.06.12 firmware.rar

20120705_e1808_v75_jbl1.zip

I downloaded also this tool SP_MDT software fot flashing.rar But I was unable use it

I downloaded also this two packages, (Taiwan101_STAR-N8000_V.05-1.zip + Taiwan101_STAR-N8000_ICS_V.09.zip) but they are not suitable for use with SP Flash Tool v3.1216.05 (they not have scatter.txt file)

please help me to fix my new phone:crying::crying:

Hummm.... eu tive problemas certa vez com o root e fastboot no windows 7 porque não acontecia nada, mas eram problemas de drivers. Seu caso eu nunca consegui reproduzir aqui, então meu palpite: experimente em outro PC, com win7 ou xp, instale os drivers e reinicie o PC. Habilite o ADB e fontes desconhecidas e o "permenacer ativo" no seu tab. e reinicie tudo.

Após reiniciar, desligue e entre no fastboot, conecte no PC com o cabo oficial, não esqueça de carregar o tab. em pelo menos 80% e veja se foi.

Para facilitar, é possível utilizar uma VM para isso, uma vez precisei intalar o windows xp no VirtualBox pra usar o fastboot e fazer root pq os drivers no win7 estavam estranhos.

Pra testar o fastboot, você pode usar aqueles comandos de limpar dados do usuário:

Primeiro crie um arquivo com o notepad++ e escreva essas linhas:

[MENTION=5137149]fastboot[/MENTION] erase cache

[MENTION=5137149]fastboot[/MENTION] erase dalvik

[MENTION=607132]pause[/MENTION]

Salve como wipe.cmd

Se executar com sucesso então o fastboot está ok. Essas linhas devem apagar o cache dalvik e o cache (não afeta nada demais, apenas limpeza de cache, é bom pra preparar o tab.)

Ah, e não esqueça de desativar a internet pra poder desabilitar também o antivirus ou o firewall se for Comodo, assim nada irá de atrapalhar durante as operações.

Good luck, Merry Christmas!

Since I can't post in the ROM dev due to my lack of posts, I wanted to say to developer that I have Sabsa Prime v8.0. The wifi works fine but on the home screen the MENU option does not. Not a big deal at all. So I get the Sabsa Prime v8.5 which has a fix for wifi not working and the MENU on home screen fixed. Load the rom fix and to my surprise, wifi is not not working, MENU on home screen is working and the phone took 45 minutes to fully boot. Reflashed my radio hoping that would fix and nothing....so back I go to Sabsa Prime v8.0. with wifi working and MENU on home screen not working.

How does one as a nwby get this type of info to the developer......I read through pages and pages....but no one had this issue with the updated rom?

I am a novice to smart phone, but not to building software.....albeit known as dinosauer developer I have learned some coffee(comes from the JAVA bean for those not in the know) along the way, but very good at what I do. I have bricked my phone, unbricked, and now using Sabsa Prime which I like. It has about the same battery drain as Rev6.33 of 1% every 2 hours idle (from what I have read I am lucky on that, but maybe not). I have found that video (Dice Player) plays at a drain of 18% an hour with MP4 formats and I get 16% an hour burn for FLV......which is interesting.

Previous roms, would be AT&T ginger bread 2.3.3 stock and Rooted, 2.3.5 stock from AT&T. Rooted that and downgraded, then Rev6.33, Rev7.04, CM7.2ace, and now Sabsa Prime (ICS 4.03.) Same radio on each rom.

Phone Specs

HTC Inspire 4G with Sabsa Prime v8.0

Radio is 12.69a.29U_26.17.14.11_M

RIL is 2.2 that was associated with the radio.

i came from 4.2.1. updated to 4.2 and now my tablet wont stop saying searching for GPS (i am indoors and no GPS lock can be found).

nothing has changed, i have the same APPs haven't removed or added anything except updating via OTA yet now after the update this searching for GPS wont go away and i have to toggle it off now.

i have always left GPS and Wifi on with 4.2.1 and didnt have this problem and its draining my battery so i disable GPS.

anyone else see this on theirs?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehumble1:
1) turn GPS off

2) download gps status

3) wait until you are outside and stationary

4) turn on GPS and run gps status to see if you are getting any kind of fix on satellites.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crachel:
Zillow (an app in the Play Store) causes this on my device. If I force closed it, the GPS icon would go away. If you're not using Zillow, maybe another app is the cause. Try force-closing anything you think might be using GPS

I really, really wish there were some way to see GPS usage history. There has got to be a way to do that. A log of what apps used the GPS, how long, etc
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szeiger:
Same here. I also noticed this today and the battery drained quickly. It looks like the Weather Channel app was causing it in my case. It had an unusually large share of the battery consumption (according to the Android battery monitor) and uninstalling it seems to fix the issue (will take another day to confirm). This was working fine on 4.1.2.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
Mine also has gone AWOL. I tried the on-off trick, all styles, but no joy (and waiting 2 hours was not a possibility... I needed it there and then).

I'll try the apps suggested, but as Gps is a core service, and one Google relies upon, it's disappointing that this crops up after an update to 4.2.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgtpepper64:
Thanks for bringing this up. I was having this problem, and I have The Weather Channel too so I went to uninstall it and right when I did the GPS notification went away. It's looking like it may be a problem with the app then and not the GPS. Maybe something changed in the background and they have to make some modifications to the app to fix it.

I reinstalled TWC and when telling it to find me through GPS on the first run, it doesn't seem to want to get my location. I did it indoors before so I don't know why it wouldn't pick it up now. But at least it doesnt seem to be constantly accessing the GPS. I was going to do a factory reset to figure out if it was a problem with the system update itself but I'll just chalk it up to an app problem right now.

It's strange though, in 4.1.2 I don't remember getting any notification that the GPS was searching\locked on unless it was Navigation or Maps doing something. Either way, I dislike this new GPS notification thing overall. On the other hand, it's a good thing that we know the GPS was being used improperly. I hope they update The Weather Channel app soon. Weather Underground is slow even on the Nexus 7.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgtpepper64:
I left The Weather Channel uninstalled and had the GPS on again... still a lot of usage so I've just turned the GPS off until I need it. This is very unnecessary though. It has to be something in the operating system (I don't have any apps running in the background that should be using it so much when fine location isn't required). :confused:

Has anybody else tried a factory reset to see if this alleviates this problem? I really don't want to be the first and then lose important things I have saved to memory. :/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svzurich:
In 4.1.2 when using Navigation, GPS would be lost at times. Firing up GPS Test Plus would show no satellites, then rapidly find them, and suddenly Navigation would work again. I sometimes had to toggle GPS, sometimes didn't.

In 4.2 so far, I've had GPS vanish in Navigation, and stay vanished in GPS Test Plus. Toggling GPS doesn't seem to help. Rebooting is required to locate the satellites. Annoying.

Sorry for the bump but it seems even after uninstalling The Weather Channel and the factory reset I still get GPS activation for a long time from time to time. I seem to have found the process in the battery usage that's causing it. "Fused Location". Not sure what uses this or what it is, it has an android icon. I force closed it and GPS stopped searching.
