[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
I've had my phone since before Christmas, and I do have stuff in my pockets with it during the week at work, though nothing metal, and the screen is still just as nice as before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bendystrawboy:
Ive had some scuffmarks appear..I just used some automotive scratch remover and it works great..

If theyre scratches you can feel with a fingernail..then youre out of luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imablackhat:
Haha what scratch remover
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Yourrid:
Well I think I'm going to try the Best Buy thing. Maybe my phone will unknowingly jump out of my pocket and shatter its screen next week.

The scratches are very small and hard to identify, but whenever I pull up a completely white screen, the scratches cause the light to reflect different colors. So a fully blank screen (white) has 1-2mm long and very thin blue/green/red-ish lines across it. Extremely annoying considering I will be having this phone for the next 2 years.

Any advise on the Best Buy warranty or the best way to go about filing for a new phone?

Also, screen protectors will be in hand whenever I get my replacement Note since it seems they aren't as durable as once thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
It's actually very simple... If you don't want to get ANY scratches on your screen then buy a screen protector. :good:

Hello guys

I currently own a Galaxy Note (N7000), but I found one guy who has a white Japanese Galaxy S3 (SC-06D) of 32GB.

I know this version has 2GB of RAM and a dual-core Krait CPU, instead of the quad-core Exynos... So...

Do ROMs for the I9300 work on SC-06D?

Also... how about the kernels? Cause I know the kernels contain drivers for the chipset, which... is different on these two versions, so a kernel for the I9300 can't possibly work on the SC-06D :/ . Or... am I wrong?! :/

Please provide information! :eek:

Thanks in advance.

Post made in reaaal hurry. Did search, but didn't find anything conclusive.

[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Never flash a rom that is not made for your phone model, you will brick.

The I9300 roms don't even work with the I9305 and the only difference is the I9305 has 2GB RAM and LTE connectivity.
[Galaxy S III General] Formhault:
Yeah... figured. Thought there can still be a chance... :(

I'm not getting it then. Thanks for the info!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] distortedloop:
Recent ROM update w/ app restore has resulted in some fairly consistent random reboots. This is first jelly bean device I've had that I've needed a logcat from, so I just learned that logging isn't that simple any more.

I've tried a couple of different methods to capture a log (aLogcat, Catlog, adb logcat), but never get output. Moved Catlog to a system app after reading in its store comments that that worked, but no joy. Granted read logs permission in terminal per another suggestion, still no go.

Any ideas how to get a log on the Note 2 to troubleshoot something like this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wcypierre:
Open your file manager with root access and go to /dev/log/ and check whether the file "main" and "system" exist or not
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] distortedloop:
System, yes, main, no.

I wonder if logging was turned off by this ROM's chef. I know some do that to improve performance. I'll check on that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mojorisin7178:
I don't know if this WL help you at all I really don't know how to read log cats but I do know that I use system tuner pro and one of the functions is log and when I go to it it appears to be a logcat. Also I used another app from the market I forget which I will to back and check. Also one other thing that maybe will help you in this situation is chain fire has an app that replaced your boot animation with a live log cat so when you boot it would kinda look like when you boot up your windows PC. You have to pay but its only like 2 bucks. And it says it is a real live log cat not per recorded. I don't know if any of that will help but just a suggestion.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

The other app was. Called logcat extreme
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wcypierre:
Most probably so as some of the devs do remove the log files. Now, go to /system/etc/init.d/ and check every file in there for this line:

rm /dev/log/main

If you found that line, add a hash(#) in front of it to enable logcat so it will become

#rm /dev/log/main

If you want to disable the logcat again, just simply remove the hash(#)

If you can't find that line of code, then search for your apps(there are some apps that will delete /dev/log/main)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] distortedloop:
That's enlightening stuff. I've never played around with init files and start up scripts.

Sure enough, one of them does remove the log, and remming it out has brought back logcat function.

Thank you so much for the help and the education.

Interestingly, my random reboots seem to have stopped for the time being, meaning I don't need the logs for now, but I like having them available.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wcypierre:
First of all, you're welcome :)

I have been doing some research on logging features for the past few months, so I know how to troubleshoot some problems that are related to logging.

If you want to, you can take a look at my tool, AIOlog, which is a command line program to extract logs(which encourages me more to do more research on logging).

Anyway, have fun with your new knowledge and don't forget to spread it to those who needs it :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] distortedloop:
Already shared the solution on the Jedi X ROM thread. ;)

Your tool's in the play store?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wcypierre:
Nope, as Playstore only allows apps that are compiled using their sdk while my tool is a tool compiled with g++.

But who knows? maybe I'll make a logcat app in the future(but I don't feel so as there's a lot of alternatives in the playstore)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fivefour:
Run this:

su

cat /proc/last_kmsg > /mnt/sdcard/last_kmsg.txt

This is the last syslog after a reboot and extremely helpful in debugging random reboots.

---------- Post added at 04:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 AM ----------

Why not simply use the NDK?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wcypierre:
NDK increases the complexity of the app and there's better alternative such as catlog and alogcat.

Moreover, Google has implemented a restriction on apps logging so its another no no for me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenSam:
I installed CM 10 last night and the gapp pack compatible with 4.1. Everything looks good and current except I have no camera at all on my D700. The camera button does nothing, there is no camera app, and if I try to get to the camera through 'Movie Studio', the application fails. I searched the forum but it seems most people's camera app just crashes. Mine doesn't exist at all.

Thank you. I appreciate your help. I hope I don't push my luck but I am very new at this. Can you give me a little more information on what that means and where to find it? I searched nitestkernel and didn't find anything that seemed relevant. Do I need to wipe all data before flashing this or just go ahead and flash it on top of the CM10 and gapps that are already installed?

There is the newest one, just flash it on top, no need to wipe....this kernel will also add voodoo sound and color so you're headphone sound will be amazing if you download voodoo sound from play store to use with this kernel
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenSam:
Awesome, thanks. I managed to fix my issues by doing that arduous factory reinstate, then back to CM Mod and the latest google apps. Both WiFi and Camera work now. I am going to go for the gold and install the latest kernel you sent me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cap223:
I have a rooted Galaxy SII Skyrocket on AT&T version 4.0.4 Baseband I727UCLI3.

I rooted in early December and everything was working fine until 2 weeks later most if not all actions ask me which app I want to use to complete an action. I always select the "Use by default for this action" option but no matter what, it will ask me again the next time. I have gone to settings and "Launch by default" section says "No defaults set".

**As everything install at your own risk. This is only for the Sprint Samsung Epic 4g Touch***

So just thought I'd share this apk since it fixed my GPS. I have GPS locks and navigation working properly after installing this apk.

I have this working on AOSP JB and it already comes in CM10 (credit is due to cm team for this - ty!). If anyone can get this working on TW, ICS or any other ROM, please advise.

Download AngryGPS

http://db.tt/0xgctlIW

Download Google Maps (if you don't have it)

Download root browser or anything that let's you change folder permissions.

Installation:

Turn off GPS

Turn off WiFi (if on)

Navigate to settings>apps>system apps

Wipe data and cache for maps & network location

Install AngryGPS

Copy and paste AngryGPS in system>apps folder

Change permissions to rw-rw-rw

reboot

Turn on GPS

Go into maps and get your lock on :)

Its best to be outside during lock since our phone gps sucks indoors. (At least for me)

Navigation:

So it's this YOUR app? Or did you just stumble across it? I might download it but think I'll wait to see what others have success with it

hi together,

at first, sorry for my bad english, ...i'm from germany.

some time, i was owner of a rooted and flashed KF which worked fine. 6 days before, i installed google play and the keyboard was offline. i went back in twrp 2.2.2.1 and make a wipe and forgot, that i need the software to flash it again. i'm an idiot, i know.

now, i only have twrp in recovery and don't know what to do. i'm not confirm with linux/ubuntu and the handling of soupkit.

facts i have at the moment:

- a KF with twrp 2.2.2.1

- my 2nd pc with a brandnew ubuntu 12.10

- information, that my KF was found on usb in bootloop and twrp, see below:

windows-user@linux:~$ lsusb

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 18d1:d002 Google Inc.

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter

"Google Inc" and "Lab126" ist the same. google in bootloop and lab126 in recovery mode.

can anybody help me with ubuntu and soupkit, that i can transfer a flashfile to my KF ?

with best regards, stefan

Does your computer recognize the kf? If it does, then why not transfer a rom to it & flash it in twrp?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] das_es:
thanks a lot :angel:

five minutes before, i found a threadto do just this :good:

at the moment ii try it and i hop it works with aliendroid v8, ....now i will see if this rom has german language.

and a question: whats in your opinion the best rom for a KF ?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Actually, your problem may be easier to fix than you think.

1) Download a ROM of your choosing to your computer (for stock, choose MoDaCo).

2) Boot the device into recovery (use SoupKit if you need to) and select the "Mount" function.

3) Make sure there is an [X] next to Mount SDcard (you should actually see "[X] Unmount SDcard" when it's selected)

4) In Linux, you should get a prompt asking what you want to do with the mounted volume. Select "view folder" or something similar. Or you could open your file manager and look for it under devices.

5) Transfer the ROM to your sdcard.

6) Wipe system, factory reset then install the ROM.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRidz11:
Hi all,

I have just purchased a N9330 Note 2 and I am wondering if anyone has managed to merge the phone's

Internal Storage (512M) and Phone Storage 1.68GB.

The Internal Storage will always run out of space (since it is only 512M) and the low disk space warning would come on.

I just want to merge these two together so I get about 2GB of space for Android to run from since I already put a 16GB micro SD

i feel the 1.68GB that is factory partitioned as a storage space can be put to better use and solve my low disk space warning.

Also I am trying to clear the Dalvik Cache from this phone. How do I do that?

I really hope someone can help me. Thanks!!

Cheers..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
There won't be a way to combine them, but there usually is a way to swap the storage mount points so the phone recognizes the external as the internal and vice versa by messing with the vold.fstab file. Any method to extend your storage either via that method, or by using other ways like Links2SD or CronMod will all involve the phone being rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrexTrey:
You can easily merge/resize the storage size, please refer to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2240954

Dalvik Cache can be cleaned using Titanium Backup or Link2Sd or any similar program.

Just remember to factory reset after resizing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jake21:
I'm a bit confused; on the note 2 there is a hotspot configuration. If you have a tired plan is it free to use; or do you have to use an alternative (such as foxfi) to avoid charges? When I click on it it doesn't seem to mention anything about payment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Yourrid:
If you have a "share everything" plan, then yes it is free. If you are on the old school "family plan" where you had unlimited data, then no it is not free. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
If you are on an unlimited data plan, you need to use a widget or toggle to activate the hotspot.

For some reason, this gets around the activation check so you don't have to pay the monthly access fee.

On a tiered plan it is free anyway although you would rather quickly run through the allowed data amount.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jake21:
I have neither; I have a tired plan which is not unlimited and not a share everything plan.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mkhalil06:
just install a custom rom and it will be free regardless of what type of data plan you have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
Aren't all tiered data plans "share everything" ??

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

All you need is root, you don't need a custom ROM for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jake21:
No; I obtained my plan last year which was after they stopped offering unlimited but before they started the 'share everything'. It is actually possible to get a non-shared everything plan today (at least according to verizon faq) but they do not explicitly mention them (also I have no clue if the faq is out of date).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunyazz:
You don't even need root, just a toggle widget. Was using the widget on stock phone for weeks before rooting/unlocking.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
I didn't realize that. I rooted my phone five minutes after I took it out of the box......

I know we used to need root to use the free wireless tether, but the VZ hotspot was not an option back then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eXiled Killah:
I'm sorry. I literally just got this phone today. Was this "toggle widget" removed? I went through each widget on the phone and found no toggle anything widget of any kind. Could you point me in the right direction please? Download?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] moemoney12:
Search the market hotspot toggle or something similar. Use the widget to turn on hotspot.

I use swicthpro widget. But the are plenty of free alternatives.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
Right, there are TONS of free widgets in the playstore that will work.

If you flash any of the custom ROMs at somepoint, they all have it in the taskbar ready to use.

Thanks guys. Literally searched hot spot toggle. Got fattin. Works fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mryanmarkryan:
Just on the off chance..

I buy 6 gig a month with Verizon on the latest plan. Regardless of whether I use the original verizon rom or another one with free wireless I still am adding to that 6 gig pool each time I use the network whether from my pc or from my phone directly correct? I'm not missing anything am I? That's the point of my post :) Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jake21:
On verizon if you have a non-unlimited plan you have free hotspot period. There are no restrictions and this make sense. Unfortunately with AT&T on the lower level plans (such as 2GB) this is not the case; so on at&t they do attempt to restrict hotspot usage for those who do not pay for hotspot service but it is harder for them to restrict with custom rom.
