[Asus Transformer TF700] Darksurf:
Paying for software isn't a good solution if u ask me. Why buy what u could do for free? Then again, if u are not a techy and not comfortable with linux, cli, or even learning about bit rates, compression, ect. Buying software may be ur better option. Software will become obsolete and $10 wasted, but knowledge to do it yourself it much more valuable and cheaper on it pocket book plus u won't have to worry if it will work on win8 :P (which is probably NOT as win8 has issues with optical drive software such as burning and ripping software and isn't fully backward compatible to xp and 7 applications).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Alex Ethridge:
This question applies to the Samsung Galaxy Note (not the Note II), the SGH-T879 distributed by Tmobile.

Pardon me if this is a ridiculous question or if it is posted in a wrong forum; I know so little about these things.

I got the Note (referenced above) several months ago. I have beaten my head against a wall trying to get it to record both sides of a conversation within the phone --

without having to use speakerphone

-- with no success.

I've tried many call recording programs, even ones with great reviews, and I think my problem is that Android versions later than 2.3.5 have blocked direct access to the firmware or hardware (not sure exactly which applies here). I have no experience with programming or development and don't want to learn. So here's my question: What would it cost to get someone to write a custom ROM that will allow the call recording programs to work properly? Or is that even a practical consideration at all?

Please, no suggestions on trying call recording programs or the moral or legal implications. Let's just stick to the question about the custom ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] exalgopana:
Pffft! Whatever wrong forum.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] mha1021:
Some of the Custom ROM in Development section has Call Recording Option, Did you try any of those Rom.

For example "Saurom-Projekt The_Hybrid 'Inovation' edition| AROMA" has call Recording. I have not used this rom but i just looked under the change log and it says it has Call Recording.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] cjsspape:
I think its safe to say that 98% of all Dev's on xda dont do this for money so I think just flat out paying somebody to do this is out. second you make a point of saying you refuse to learn to do it yourself which a lot of people would agree goes against the very spirit and intention of this site. Ya gotta be willing to learn if thats what it takes to make things happen the way you want! I hope ya have luck finding your answer though!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] txnr70:
Yea, I'm using Saurom-Projekt, and it records fine unless you are using a bluetooth headphone. That coupled with an app (I use Sanity) gives me automatic incoming and outgoing call recording.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] v3rsatile23:
you obviously haven't tried call recorder by skvalex... Been using it for almost a year. Best 10 dollars ever spent. of course there is one thing you have to do on the note to get it to work but you clearly stated you don't want to learn or didn't want any program suggestions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Alex Ethridge:
Thanks for all the replies.

Okay, I get it. This forum is for developers who help developers; but, I need a solution sooner than the years it would take me to learn how to program. I've never programmed. I've never been in the same room with a programmer, as far as I know.

I have no idea what some of those words mean. I have no idea how to choose a ROM that would both enable my phone to record calls and that would be compatible with my hardware, I understand there are several versions of the i717 and ROMs for one aren't necessarily compatible with others and I have no idea how to choose the correct one. Then there is the problem that the terms I've read in the ROMs' capabilities/descriptions frequently have no meaning to me. I'm lost in China and I don't speak Chinese.

I've tried this kind of thing before and what usually happens is that people try to help and I think they give up and go away in their own frustration trying to help someone who is clueless even about the words they use when trying to help me. It's very frustrating.

So, after having expressed my frustrations and made it clear I'm a non-developer asking questions that only a developer would understand the answers for, what is this "one thing" I have to do, v3rsatile23?

Alex, you have to learn. You have to do your own studying. No one here on XDA has the time to do all the work for you - you have to understand how to flash something, how to recover if you do and something goes awry, how to deal with testing - no one else here can do that for you.

XDA is a volunteer run Development forum - it isn't here to teach basic uses. Please keep reading and don't do anything until you're fully up to speed. Now, before the flames start, I'm closing this thread.

After spending the larger part of four days on the issue, I pinned it down to Wi-Fi channels: apparently, both my router and my repeater used Wi-Fi on Channel 6. Assigned Channel 11 for one, Channel 1 for another (use your router/repeater software for this). Now the tab connects flawlessly.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamess:
Hello there!

So I've just bought a Mini and was excited about the features, especially the NFC and S Beam.

According to specs, both are supported out of the box, but it seems like I'm missing something.

NFC is working with external apps (like bump) but not with built-ins like phonebook's contact sharing and Beam is completely missing - or it is just me not finding that in the settings.

So the question is, where can I find those?

Slight update: it seems that none of the apps available on play can use the phone's nfc.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppero196:
The phone currently doesn't hace nfc.

Nfc chip is located on the battery.

Current releases of the device come with non nfc battery.

It might be possoble on the future to use nfc battery with compatible ROM on early versions of the device
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamess:
It really is a shame... I always wanted to try those nfc tags.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 4Genie:
Hey all, I'm the 4 Genie and I got a question about my EVO.

I got one when it first came out and rooted it via the zedomax method on the first day, before LTE was out. I used it for a few months and had an annoying issue with LTE. When it detected a LTE signal it wouldn't connect and I lost my data connection. Then it wouldn't connect back to 3G and I'd have to toggle airplane mode or restart it. A huge pain in the ass!

Is that a hardware problem or is it caused by rooting? I've got a brand new evo from sprint that connects perfectly and I don't wanna mess it up. But I miss the rooted phone. Also, I plan to use the stock Rom. Thanks.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00336:
Hello folks,

I find myself wondering if I've got something going on with my phone or if it is just me. I find that the device gets very hot with little usage. I find it hot by the camera/led, but it's definitely hot throughout. I know it's not easy to confirm if it is, as there are variables. But if anyone has noticed it, it would help me with my decision to return it for a new device.

Insight from other owners would be great! Thanks!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelaydi:
I've got the ATIV S too, mine doesn't get hot at all.

I used to have the Samsung Focus, and that one did get hot by the camera when playing games, and it would occasionally reboot if it got too hot.

I do the exact same things on my ATIV S now and it doesn't even get warm.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kopacha:
I can confirm that - a friend of mine bought (i intend to buy one for me in the days to come) an ATIV S, and in certain cases it really gets hot in the zone just beneath the camera/LED. I don't think it's going to be a showstopper problem, but still we could say it's rather design flaw, then a real showstopper problem. but one thing is almost 100% certain - it's not a certain unit (yours in that case) problem. I suspect the plastics is not spreading the heat well enough as it was with the aluminum Omnia 7 for an example. Still - Quallcom's processors are known for years, that are always hotter than the equivalent ARM chip. I guess it's a matter of perspective - if it's a problem for you, and you can return/replace it - do it. If it's not such big of a deal - just enjoy your new phone :)

Any device you root VOIDS the warranty. Even if you flash back to stock a lot of devices has flash counters, which tell you how many times device has been flashed with custom roms. Make sure your device forum has the files to go back to stock and find out if your device does or does not have a flash counter. If you can go back to stock and reset counter then I would definitely root it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xKrisx:
Root Toolkit has the option to reset flash counter. But due to the risk of using it. Only use it if you have to.

Rooting requires reading, research, and knowledge. If you familiarize yourself with the proper process and procedures, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to return your device to a returnable/warrant-able state. Rooting isn't for everyone, and only you can decide if it's with the risk or not of possibly damaging your device. Proper research is essential.

THIS IS ONLY FOR SPH-L900!!!

First you need to download this on your pc:

http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote2/rooting/GalaxyNote2RootSprint.zip

You find 4 files in it.

Put Odin and Odin.ini file in ONE map.

Connect your phone to your pc and copy the SUPERSU zip file to your sdcard > download map

(first you need to install your phone drivers, so you can copy files to your phone)

Disconnect the usb

Turn of your phone.

Go to download mode (volume down + home + power)

You get a warning screen, press: volume up.

Connect your phone to your pc

Open Odin

Now you see a yellow box: COM, with a random number, be sure its yellow.

You need to unzip openrecovery-twrp till its a TAR file (be sure its a TAR file otherwise you get brick)

Press: PDA

Select the TAR file

Press START

Now Odin will start, if you see PASS you can disconnect your phonr and turn it off.

After that go to Recovery Mode: volume up + home + power.

When in Recovery Mode, press:

INSTALL

Select your download map and select: SUPERSU.zip

After installing reboot your phone.

Its rooted now!

Ps. Im not responsepal for any damage at your phone if you do something wrong.

No its not a md5 file. Its a tar with an added .md5 tail to tell Odin to check it. It is still seen by Odin regardless so its completely irrelevant to my instructions.

Sprint is kind of confusing on this. Some techs will work on a rooted phone, some will send you away.

I want all software in my device to be under my control. That's enough and my only reason to do it. Not using it for anything else. If in the future Samsung will handle it with stock rom, than I guess no more need for rooting be left. Because stock rom and touchwiz already replaced all ex-reasons where people were rooting now, it's very advanced. -- what I think.
