I tried to fix kb lights by myself and it worked @ Dman CM 10.1. On covenant kernel it's not working. Patching with JB litekernel did the trick. BUT energy consumption is sick. Regularly my unit lasts 2-3 days without recharging but today's morning (after kb patch) I've disconnected charger at 7 am and for now (10.30 pm) battery runs around 30% ;/
[Samsung Captivate Glide] thegreatergood:
this is to be expected .... give it time .... scottbot is working hard at it i believe ...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sbiricuda:
Ok, time to be noobs.

I tried to get some answers here and there, but I can't get it through all by myself.

Please forgive a couple of questions:

1) How should i choose what kernel fits best with a ROM?

I could read that not every kernel is suitable for every ROM. That's easy to understand. But in a list of compatible kernel for a rom (in my case, PACMAN is the one i'd like to flash), how can i understand which makes more functions stable?

2) Are those fixes simply flashable via odin?

3) I can easily understand what 'lightsfix' is built for. What about keymap? Is this a patch to fix the unworking keys?

Thank you for your patience. You guys rock. Iphon... what?

:)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] plauclair:
I just tried the lights patch on 10.1 beta 3, it doesn't seem to work. Installed only the 10.1 zip with recovery, is that how I'm supposed to do it?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] thegreatergood:
Ill update the thread when I get home ....
[Samsung Captivate Glide] AzraelsKiss:
The patch should work with litekernel for 10.1. I'm not sure how to get it to work with the default kernel.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
btw the keyboard fix is for all aosp, from cm10 to cm10.1 and all the subtree like PA and AOKP, right?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] szulco:
framework-res.apk should be edited and replaced before applying this patch. For me it didn't work on covenant kernel. Replacing with litekernel did the trick.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] thegreatergood:
updated thread...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] terinfire:
So just to confirm -- this ties everything into the actual lights on the front of the device -- if our capacitive buttons are lit, then the keyboard will be lit?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] szulco:
Yup, that's for now. scottbot95 is working on it AFAIK :good:

[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
I found in a couple of roms that using the physical keyboard in any text entering browser window (including logons for diff websites -hotmail- I was unable to get any ALT or Sym keys working which means no numbers, surprisingly backspace and the arrow keys work. This is in PACMan rom for sure, pretty sure its in rootbox as well but I can't recall.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] thegreatergood:
in browser you need to hold the alt and sym keys down to use them...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kick buttowski:
They dont seem to be working with connectbot
[Samsung Captivate Glide] thegreatergood:
would anyone else be interested in changing the clear all to simply backspace (alt + backspace) i have accidently delete hundreds of texts my self ... plus i've never really used the the clear all ... i would simply hold down backspace ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] szulco:
simply hold down backspace :good:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
in pocketcloud app when remotely controlling a windows machine backspace doesnt work.. not sure if this constitutes an issue with the specific app or not..
[Samsung Captivate Glide] amppcguru:
Backspaced

Yes Backspace only on single click...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Snuuuuupy:
Can we get an option to disable the CRT-Off transition, like on other roms such as this one?

Tried it. Found no use for it. Delete it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ReelFiles:
I used it, it's good for texting with friends from other countries. But it's redundant if they already have facebook messenger.

We have a computers thread. Link's already mentioned.

But this sounds like a malfunctioning video card. You said it's sitting on a rug? Videocards, and computers in general, do not like heat! This includes a lack of ventilation.
[Off-topic] Pennycake:
Have you ever opened it and cleaned it ?

Those things get filthier than a catholic schoolgirl and start to have performance issues (including overheating from dust build-up - which can cause component failure if you let it go too long) if you don't give them a good cleaning every now and again.
[Off-topic] Thats OK:
If that's an Nvidia 230M it's starting to go.

I had a dv6 do something similar...sorry my friend.

HP will fix it for about 320 bucks which I believe is the momboard cost (or it was about a year and a half ago.)

Also try here: HP troubleshooting guide
[Off-topic] DiamondJay20:
As in melting? What bout Geek Squad price?
[Off-topic] Pennycake:
Ah. I see that's a laptop. I was looking at it and thought it was two pictures.

They can still use a cleaning (they still get really dusty in there), but much harder to replace a failing GPU if cleaning it out won't work. On the rug could have contributed to overheating/failing as well. I used to put a sketchbook under my laptop when I had it, so that it could get some air circulation.

If you haven't removed the battery, that can also cause overheating issues. When I'd have my laptop plugged in for extended periods, I'd remove it. They have overcharging protection, but it can fail and even start a fire.

If you're using it mainly at home and not moving it, I would suggest building a desktop in the future - much easier to clean and replace parts (and much cheaper for the same level of power).
[Off-topic] DiamondJay20:
I just ran the 3DMark Vantage and not a single flicker/problem? I did hear the fan VERY loud during it tho, the underside is ultra-hot, and I removed the battery during the test. And I'm not getting a desktop: I need the portability.
[Off-topic] Pennycake:
You said "always been plugged in", that doesn't exactly sound "portable" to me.

Open it up, clean it, see if there's dust or other detritus, anything's loose (doesn't sound like a loose connection, but good to check), or looks bad. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, you'll have to bring it to someone who is. I'd bet there's a ton of dust in the GPU fan, causing it to overheat and fail.

It's also possible the PSU is also crap/crapped out and is causing overheating and failure - dust, old age, and strain can cause this and it's unfortunately not something you can deal with on your own unless you're trained to do so (I'm a big advocate of doing things yourself, but since it can kill you more readily than other parts, best to avoid it). A PSU can fail due to overheating, and it can cause irregularities in voltage, which can cause issues/total failure.

Best case would be it's just dusty. I've seen this clear up with a good cleaning, so I think there's a good chance, at least.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aspataro:
So I walked into a Tmobile store today to get a sim card for my wife and found a Smoke Impact Band Case by Tech21. Never seen the case before but I like it because of the d30 technology.

Anyone else seen this case online? I can't find it anywhere online. Hoping to get it cheaper than retail.

FYI: This is different than the impact snap case that's online.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MeatyCoins:
I work at a corporate T-Mobile and trust me stay away from D30 cases. The buttons are super stiff and sometimes permanently jam your phone buttons, you can get a way better case for the same price. I got the Otterbox Commuter it's the best. I also have a plain TPU with cut outs for the buttons that works well too.

Just stay away from it, trust me!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aspataro:
Thanks for the feedback. I would have thought they were good cases, but I can see your point about the buttons.

I currently have a Mercury tpu case, but I feel it doesn't have much protection. Otterbox is nice but they are so bulky to me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jwwolfe77:
I have a tech21 case with d3o protection for my note 2. It doesnt even have buttons. My buttons are wide open. I love these cases. I bought one for my S3 and it was a ***** finding one for my note 2 but I found it in the UK. I wont use any other case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] WillEat4F00d:
I have the tech21 snap on case from tmobile too. There are no covers for any of the buttons. I needed some quick protection so I went around and got this. The case feels very sturdy and seems like it could take a beating. I'm holding on to this case until the UAG comes out.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jberger:
I've got this case and it works well. I also had one of these on the galaxy s 4g and it was hard to press the buttons, it's not an issue on the Note II case for me.

With the older case, the plastic was MUCH harder and you really couldn't press the middle of the button, you had to press at the top or bottom to get the plastic button to move. That's not needed with the new case on the Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vampyrwarrior:
Bought it, then sold it to friendly pervert

I thought it was a good case until I wanted to give some Christmas pictures to my mom on boxing day, and I forgot my usb cord so I thought what the heck I will pull off the case and put the microusb card in her computer...big hassle. Firstly because of the inner orange trim protection stuck to my note 2 like glue. It wouldn't come off right away, and while pulling it finally off it was so tight that inside the phone behind the actual Samsung battery cover the memory card came out of its slot. The only thing one of my buddies liked about the case and his reason was that he could start the video camera up, then fold the cover over the screen and now he wouldn't have to pay for the hidden camera premium app. Not a reason for me to keep it so I sold it today to him for his note 2. Otterbox here I come.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Does anyone know if a sim unlock is possible?

On the old 1.44.0007 it was a simple process with Revolutionary, but I can't seem to find anything similar for the new hboot
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
You'll probably find what you're looking for in This Discussion.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
I really thought you found a solution for me or a thread I over looked lol.

Those methods work for the old hboot 1.44.0007, not the new 13

Besides that, one of them relies on revolutionary which I can't do, and the other doesn't work period. The sensation guide I follow says strings not found. I got a replacement slide on the new hboot and I need to unlock to run on AT&T. I'm without a phone right now
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
You can always pay for a sim unlock code, or give to someone who has t mobile for a day, have them call and get a code for free, then give it back to you the next day. Once the code is in there it will be perminent
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Paying is not an option, especially if it can be had for free.

Every time I've done this through a friend, the phone didn't have to be actively in use or associated with the account. I asked my friend who is on contract to request a code for me, and she tells me it's a $35 charge to unlock. WTF? Sim unlocks from carriers are always free as long as you have a contract or bought the phone from them directly.

Am I missing something here???
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
Everytime I've had to do this through tmo it has been free, but the sim had to be in the phone when I called. And I'm always on a no contract contract and have been for the better part of 13years (I don't like paying more to get a free phone)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
Call T-Mobile and tell them you're going out of the country and you need it unlocked. It's worked for us for like three phones now
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Not a T-Mobile customer...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Yea I see that now. It's weird, you never needed to have the phone being actively used...

Hopefully I can ask her to try again. I hate to keep asking for favors like this. Not really my style
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoz28:
So I plugged in my headphones and the right earpiece is not working. I thought that the headphones were broken, then I tried it with my iPod and it works perfectly. I tried restarting the phone, I also checked all settings regarding sound including the sound balance on the accessibility settings but all of them are in correct settings. I tried using 3 different headphones but the output is the same, no sound on right earpiece.

After a day I tried it again. The right earpiece is now working but with uneven sound. The volume is low more like 50% of the volume.

Today the right earpiece is not working again. I tried plugging my phone to my desktop speaker and it's the same, the right speaker volume is so low while the left is working 100% fine. It seems that the right piece volume is so low that you can't hear it on the headphones.

Can't seem to get the GPS function to work in Google maps or navigation.

It just hangs there saying "searching for GPS"

I was using the CM10 nightlies and it worked fine on that. But recently started using the CM10.1 nightlies. The most recent being the 12-26-2012 release.

I did a revert back to stock before flashing the CM10.1 rom.

Tried searching the forum but I can't find anything about this device as way too many GPS hits come up in the search.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In theory yes... but since we are not talking about clear ground... other idea was to be able to flash kernels without unlocking the bootloader.

And you say: Not Possible... well, not true, if you find a loophole on system you can perfectly do that.

No the problem is this. The 2011 devices used the same board (mogami) and a testpoint exploit was found to unlock the bootloader. The exploit has been patched on the new 2012 boards and the security is near impossible to crack. The only other option is to find another exploit to crack.
