[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert542:
Volume down+power button will get you into download mode volume up+power will get you into recovery
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabour:
Thanks for the response -- however the process you describe does not work after this Kies upgrade. Volume down + power does not get me into download mode -- instead I get stuck in the Android system recovery (3e). (Same with the volume up+power.)

My only options in this Android sytem recovery are to:

reboot

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

I am wondering -- what if I were to place the clockword mod recovery zip file on my sd card and then use "apply update from external storage", or simply reboot.

Any thoughts or suggestions? I was also told I might be able to get into download mode through adb.

Thanks again for dialogue.

No chance... Stock recovery needs the zip files to have samsung approval, not only that but it won't allow a different region rom to be flashed either.... Looks like you screwed the pooch on this little puppy...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimloktt:
Did you update to JB?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabour:
Just clarify, please

So just to clarify, you are saying that it doesn't matter whether I can get into download mode or not (which I was able to do, with ADB), because ANY clockwork mod recovery file that I find will be unloadable (because it won't "play" with stock recovery)? Is that correct?

Don't want to sound argumentative, but does that mean that anyone who upgrades their firmware via "official Samsung" will be unable to root in the future? That's not too cool.

But if so, I can live with it.

Again, I appreciate your time.

I know with the S3 there is a root tool that allows rooting via ADB but I don't believe this has been developed for the Note 10.1 as yet. Everything is done via ODIN... Unless you wish to try the 1st method from this thread to get root access - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831152 - then install a version of CWM manually...

Stock root is very picky about what it will or wont flash.... Even if you have a stock rom, if the CSC oodes, region, doesn't match it will error out...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabour:
No........ that's the goofy part of it. I had an upgrade waiting for me (under "settings, upgrade" and so I stupidly assumed it was the official jellybean. Wrong, wrong! I was simply upgraded to 4.0.4. I can't see any noticeable changes, except for the Android Recovery system having booted out my Clockwork recovery (and the root, of course.)

I've decided to wait a week or so until I get the official jellybean and then decide what to do.

It will also have given you a new template in s-notes - landscape and the scroll bar... It will also have given you the ability to use an exFAT formatted sd card... There were a few other tweaks but not too much...

Hi! I'm running FTS v3.0, and I'm not able to remount my device from adb. It says "operation not permitted".

Of course I have adb debugging enabled,

I can remount from the recovery but not whith the ROM booted.

Maybe I'm missing something very basic but I never had this problem with my old HTC Desire.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blackhawk_LA:
Well, I've learned it's something to do with ro.secure line in default.prop , but every time I change it to 0, it doesn't survive a reboot. What do I need to change too?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stevenb82:
So, I've bought the XT885 outside of any contract, so it is completely unlocked. I have 'boot' the phone using the steps and application on here.. Many of you have probably already become aware that the XT885 only has 2.12gb available for apps, and that when you use the expandable micro sd option you can only transfer media files like music, photos etc. The version of ICS has been edited to lock out the option to move apps to the sd.. Is there anyway around this? I have searched for an answer and have been unable to find one, so if this is a rehash,.. apologies.. Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MMercier5:
It is very easily done using an app called Directory bind but you need to have root access to get it done. There are even a bunch of videos on youtube on how to actually use the app.

When I just got the phone. I remember seeing the full list, and I was able to select some languages. However, now I don't see the full list anymore. The verizon salesman says that he sees the list when he boots up the phone, but after selecting, the list went away. Currently, I only see:

How do I add more languages?

Thank you very much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] argylee00:
my first post, please don't flame (too hard).

I've helped others with GPS and Play store glitch after jelly bean update, and now looking for some help.

My wife has an S2 i777 and did SIM unlock to use with T-MO.

It's GB 2.3.6. The PDA is i777 UCKK6.

I'm looking for RTL with Arabic language support. I've done weeks of reading and I found this nice thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1292841 But that ONLY supports UCKH7

This phone is not rooted.

Looking for noob instructions for RTL arabic support.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jack_R1:
1. Upgrade to ICS and you should have proper Arabic support sans keyboard - AFAIK Hebrew/Arabic/all RTL language support was first introduced on ICS. When on ICS, download any Arabic keyboard from Play Store and you should be good to go.

2. Or move to deodexed GB ROM (any custom ROM) and run madmack's Arabic patcher (google it and you'll find it). It should work on any deodexed GB ROM, since it's based on Hebrew patcher that decompiles/recompiles the framework - but it's also the reason why it can't work on stock odexed ROM.

I suggest option 1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] argylee00:
Thanks Jack.

1) I heard that ICS was a complete failure and has bricked many i777 S2's. Are you saying to root and use custom ROM as opposed to the ATT update?

2) found what deodexed means... www wugfresh .com /guides / deodex/

Do you have any experience with the i777 S2 and ATT ICS OTA update?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jack_R1:
1. ICS is generally a better system on this phone IMHO. I do suggest moving to it through custom ROMs rather than through stock official upgrade - stock-based custom ROMs offer stock stability with customization options, and EMBRYO 5.4 is a good ROM that I'm happily running. Not sure how relevant the infamous "brickbug" is, but it's irrelevant for most custom ROMs.

If anyone more familiar with "brickbug" can chime in - you might get a better picture. I got mine with Gingerbread, installed TWRP recovery and flashed custom ROM about 1/2 hour after I got the phone, so I have no experience with stock GB/ICS.

2. "Deodexed" means - not odexed. With Google help:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/

Stock ROMs are always odexed, so you'll have to move to a sort of custom ROM anyway. And if you do - you might as well go a better route than staying on GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] argylee00:
Since I'm the kk6 (2.3.6) GB, do I need to downgrade factory image first in order to root? Or is there a tool out there to root and put a custom ROM (ICS or JB custom ROM).

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jack_R1:
It's not one tool, it's more.

Read the stickies, they contain rooting guides. See that you understand what you're doing before proceeding.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] argylee00:
Thanks Jack. I was just wondering if I needed to downgrade GB version first.

Hey all,

For a while now, I have been running a very cool AOKP blend on my s3 with all the latest bells and whistles. I am getting kinda tired of all the little things that dont work on this ROM. Does anyone know if there is a ROM that is basically the stock rom of the S3 except the bloatware is removed? Ideally it would still allow for root if possible. I just need a stable ROM where everything that worked with the stock rom works here.

As always, Thanks in advanced!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bsam55:
You can just use Titanium Backup to freeze/remove anything you don't want in the stock ROM. If you search, I believe there are debloated stock ROMs available elsewhere on xda.

It could either be 1 giant mistake, or this is straight up. I waited until today to order my GN2 as I just sold my G3 yesterday. At check out I was offered 5 shipping options, with the golden option being the $14.00 Fedex Overnight prio. After check out I hit up the rep via chat and asked the following . . . and received the following response (see screenshot also):

You: I just ordered the Galaxy Note 2 and added overnight priority shipping.

You: Shipping is listed for the 27th. Should I assume that I will have it by 10:30 am on the 28th?

Sunny: Yes you should receive the device on 28th

You: Great! Thanks so much

You: Have a good night

Sunny: Did you have any other questions for me today?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazydad:
Sorry to maybe bust your bubble but lol all oreders will be shipped by the 27 and everyone will get the phone on the 29th, the day of it been released if it even actually is released. I think your rep might of been confused as were the ones i talked to. But if you do get it,which i think you wont on the 28, i hope you let us know !!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonisinogard:
Okay yes awesome that you got to pick shipping but that doesn't mean it will be processed and shipped by tuesday. Plenty of things could hang it up and make it come thursday by 1030 am but in all honesty i wish you the best and I hope you get it weds at 1030
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] loggainsd:
FWIW the rep I talked to said it would ship on the 26th. My order status still shows 27th so who knows. I did the regular two day shipping
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Meh, he could get it before that. I have heard this before, but didn't think it was true. I guess the only way you can choose S&H options is if you pay outright for the phone. Plus even further proof, some people have gotten other phones before their release date in-store, but lol @ $15 + tax for one day early, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roxboxxx:
I know I probably will be phoneless come 10:30 on Wednesday, but making this post somehow makes me feel better ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Likely because they don't work on Saturday or Sunday. I am guessing we will all see updates, if this is true, on our delivery confirmation as of tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] loggainsd:
That would be awesome if they shipped tomorrow instead of tue

Yea i did pay full price for phone.....

Wish you best of luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Did you get to choose S&H options?

EDIT: But yeah, crazy dad you are right. This happened before with the iPhone 5. I think some people ordered this via VZW/Apple and they were refunded the dough after because there was no overnight shipping. AKA, we all get the phone on the same day as of the release date.

Just saying with the S3 some people got it a day early, but it wasn't due to overnight shipping
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazydad:
Nope said it will ship by the 27th and arrive on the 29th day of release for the N2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Hmm, my friend said he had the option to choose when he ordered his. I guess they might've changed something in the system, which is a good sign.

edit: looks like some other people are claiming that it will ship out from wal-mart on the 27th/be in stores on the 27th.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazydad:
Hope it works out for yall. I just talked to a rep to see if i could change my ship date and he just told me that it wont ship before the 27th and will only have a devlivery date of the 29th.i tried to convince him of letting me get it on the 28th and says that they wont be available to the customer until the 29th.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Yeah, check my post in the previous page. I edited it after you quoted me. This has happened before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roxboxxx:
FYI - I did pay outright so that option may only appear in this case. I also just killed a few chickens out near the railroad tracks to ensure

the gods of phone shipments look favorably on my order.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I knew I forgot to do something
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazydad:
LMAO !!!!!!! thats awesome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roxboxxx:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
The optimus 4x hd is the closest and most comparable to the optimus since it has essentially the same software and is the closest tegra 3 device to the OG.

Per antutus website, the OG beats the 4x HD in total score and GPU. It loses barely to the N7, but that is likely due to butter and software improvements. Assuming both are on the same software, the OG should perform better.

I believe anandtech said Adreno 320 is the best ARM GPU this year minus the iPad's PowerVR GPUs. It is the top android GPU.

Either way, both are great GPUs, but the S4 Pro has a better CPU.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drwario:

I'll find that interesting once we can disable the throttling on this thing, cause right now it's not scoring very well throttling so often.

Just like any business you need capital to build inventory before you can do anything else, and just because you have inventory doesn't mean you can move it. If you don't understand the business world you really should do some research before you lose a lot of money.

Yes, but what would you ship? You need an inventory before you could even begin to consider selling anything. A customer isn't going to wait for you to order their purchase then for it to ship to them.

Edit: going to sleep now and will reply to everything in the morning.
[Off-topic] 063_XOBX:
Honestly? A lot. There are hundreds of different Android devices you'd have to accommodate for. The only way to even realistically start would be with iPhone cases. Wide spread popularity and only one model to have to maintain inventory for.

If you insisted on specializing in Android phones you'd need to pick a few popular models (like the S3) and start small with them.
[Off-topic] Nxxx:
What do you think the are minimum would be? 10k?
[Off-topic] 063_XOBX:
Maybe. Depends on a few factors. How much you're ordering determines both the unit price and the profit on each item. Obviously wholesale pricing is cheaper but that requires larger starting capital, which isn't always realistic. There's no reason to order 10,000 units if you're not even sure you can move 500 and be stuck with 9,500 cases that diminish in value when a new model comes out. You should expect to wind up losing a significant amount of money until you get some real data on what sells and how much of it sells around the time of year you're ordering it (hint, Christmas has a huge effect on sales).

[General Questions and Answers] Hakizi:
So we've been testing a Verizon and T Mobile phone (currently have Sprint) as Sprint has been pretty poor in our area as of late. The T Mobile phone is a Galaxy Blaze, and with it we get amazing 4G signal in the street outside our house. However, we can move literally 3 feet closer to the house, and the signal will drop to absolutely nothing. Inside the house it just frequently switches between very low 4G and very low Edge signal. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Is there any chance that a different phone (we want Nexus 4's) would have stronger reception and not have this problem, or is our house pretty much screwed?
