That sucks about the display.. For future reference the at&t store by the Broadway Mall is a Warranty & Repair store from what I've been told.. Depending on where you're located there's also one at the Queens Ctr mall.. They replaced my S-Pen when I was having the ghost touch issues.. On the battery door squeak issue.. They all do this.. I used a few vinyl stickers (I race RC cars so they were readily available) on the inside of the battery door and the problem went away.. Maybe even try a business card..It might work.. Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] silentecho13:
Might be an idea. I'm in Westbury, but I'm in the Forest Hills area in Queens a good bit too haha.

I used to race rc cars a while ago, then it got stolen (along with the rest of my house). Poor old nitro 4-tec.

I'll try the vinyl sticker idea, I have a few left actually. I'm just annoyed with the screen now. I keep looking for the scratch whenever I use it. It's traumatizing dude.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SmiLey497:
I don't. Never have, never will.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NightHawkUndead:
Agreed. Tried using them and just can't do it. Keep it in my pocket everyday without one since release day and not a scratch on it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nickel Dime Bay:
Wtf? I would've been in that fools face. It's your fault for not snatching it away, like really? You're just gonna watch him do that to your $600 phone? Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] silentecho13:
Well yeah I literally yelled at him "watch the screen, you're gonna scratch that s***!"

The guy was straight up rude though. He didn't say a word to me at all from beginning to end until he put the cover back on.

I'm gonna stop by at the mall tonight and try and speak to someone there, maybe to check security tapes.

One word. "Sand"

Anything with the same hardness or greater will scratch especially sandy grit.

As for the above trolls bashing this guy for not turning in to "Enter Badarss action hero name" per some long regretted high school beat down you fantasize never happened because "enter fantastic tale of how awesome you tell everyone then sob about the dark truith"..... Ether help the guy who is asking or keep it to your lonely self. No one cares about opinions like that. Chances are the one I'm hypocritically posting right now is part of what I just pointed out.

I'll leave this soap box right here for the next guy. Hope your phone issue gets resolved. Sorry I have nothing useful to post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] silentecho13:
Here's an update for you guys :

I went back to the showcase and spoke to another manager. She was awesome and did everything in her power to help. First she walked over with me to a repair shop, they said it couldn't be fixed.

Afterwards she called her direct manager and explained the situation. They said they would replace it without any questions. I'm supposed to email her and her manager the whole situation and I should be good to go. I'm not sure if they're going to take my old phone and give me a new one or just ship out a second one. Hopefully the latter, my fiancée is jealous of my phone lol.

Side note: The manager, she was pretty hot. Just sayin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] g2tegg:
Haha awesome! Glad to see you got that resolved!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] silentecho13:
Well, hopefully. I'm still waiting on them to get in touch with me. There's always the chance that they'll escalate it and attempt to ignore the whole process. I'm hoping I get something tomorrow morning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crawlgsx:
I am fortunate that I have 2 AT&T stores near me with fairly good AT&T reps. They all actually have intellegence and many of them are phone junkies, not to mention they don't act like corporate drones but people that understand people. I've still met plenty of awful ones of course but I do feel fortunate knowing I have 2 different stores I can go to where I know the reps won't treat me like another average dumb sale.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Glad you got it taken care of.. Good for you.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] silentecho13:
I just got a call from AT&T after filling out a survey....NOW they said they would replace it.

I had to tell them no because the Samsung guys are taking care of it, but I did get a $25 credit out of it...lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xfaega:
Updated my post. Glad you where able to get your phone fixed - replace. There are good people out there just have to find the right one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
I'm glad you got your phone fixed, but I agree with the poster who suggested that you throw the guys phone across the room. I have to confess that I would have done the same thing to this guys device, see how he likes it when you pull off his back cover and pour water or your favorite soda, coffee etc on the open phone. Then I would call mall security and accuse the guy in front of everyone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nivek_k2020:
Glad to hear you got it resolved. I never take chances and always put a screen protector on my phone. One dollar is a small price to pay to protect your screen. Its like driving without insurance, I don't plan on getting into an accident but you never know what might happen down the road.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] srgonu:
Usually I use screen protector on phone. But on note 2 ...nah... My s-pen isn't working as good after screen protector. I tried three different ones. May be you can suggest if you found a good one.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] outlaw2112:
have u tried adjusting the s-pen sensitivity u can remove button and turn counterclockwise to increase and clockwise to decrease after u put screen protector on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] silentecho13:
I bought the iSmooth protectors, they came in yesterday from Amazon Prime.

So far, the company (Javelin Inc) has called me asking for an address, so they're going to ship one out via Fedex (or might have already last night).

I'm supposed to just send mine back after a factory reset, but I'm guessing I should run Triangle Away as well as a full unroot just to be safe.

These protectors do feel smooth. I haven't installed one yet because a new phone is coming. Are they reusable? If so, I can install one today and just transfer them over.

I can't say much about S-Pen sensitivity though, but I hope it remains the same. I'm a graphic designer and I often sketch on my GN2 before switching over the illustrator and photoshop.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugarkryptonite:
Hey guys

I'm running CM10.1 and using Swype...if that changes anything.

I love the stock messaging app and have tried others...didn't like them...one thing I really would like to see is having sending messages instant, like iPhone's, and then you see them being sent.

If any of you have ever used What'sApp before, you'll know what I'm talking about...you hit send, and it instantly shows up in the conversation...whereas messaging has a delay for me (usually when texting multiple people at once, or sending one message after another quickly). There are other little laggy quirks that piss me off...but this is one of the biggest. It's something subtle but very annoying.

Anything?

Thanks,

[Motorola Droid RAZR] brainwash123:
Does anyone know how photosphere can be fixed to recognize properly the gyro and compass sensors? I've tried several roms and 4.2 camera versions and on my phone the horizontal motion is not detected at all and the vertical motion is averaged badly (~15s). So I assume there is a setting somewhere or a device link that needs to be made so that photosphere recognizes the gyro and another setting somewhere else for the time averaging constant.

Panorama works ok and that [I think] it relies as well on the gyro.

Yes, I tried GPS Status calibration, letting the phone on a flat surface with photosphere turned on, extreme rotations around all axes.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] osval.:
The razr doesn't have drivers for a gyroscope, just compass and accelerometer so photosphere will never work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brainwash123:
But opening GPS Sensor and Turbo GPS I see the absolute radial tracking is correct. Google sky works and so does panorama. I assume by this that the gyro (measuring speed of rotation) is not really needed since it can be determined from differentiating the magnetometer.

Maybe a custom device driver can be built that emulates this? Would be interested in doing this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1Android:
I have been running CleanRom 3.0 for about 7 months now and have been getting great battery life. For the last week or so I have been getting horrible battery life and i cannot figure out why. I have not done anything different or added any apps since the fall. I have done all the tips and tricks to saving battery ....display set at 10%/30 seconds, All notifications turned off, gps off, bluetooth off etc... I can usually get an average of 22 hours before needing to look for a charger.

Today:

10.5 hours and 12% left. Not even 2 hours of screen time. I have phone forced on 3g and get good reception at my home where I was for most of the day.

Can someone please give me some insight here? maybe I'm missing something??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] barrackOBAMA:
Maybe your battery itself.

There are far to many variables that play a part in battery life.

Look into 5.6 and remember to toggle off data and WiFi when not in use.

Worth a try.

Edit: now I clearly see you toggle WiFi and data off when not in use. Haha sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnAreBee:
Agreed, try changing kernel or kernel settings, gov types, speeds, tweak options.

Sometimes it take alot of trial and error to figure out the best rom/kernel combos. May also have to change a few things in the rom and/or kernel to do so. Goodluck!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoraDonaldGoofy:
Hello.

I recently followed these (apparently and abridged version of this) instructions to get the Cmod 10 nightlies running on my nook off of a microSD card. My question is this: where are the data files that Cmod (or vanilla Android, for that matter), creates on your SD card? I am trying to figure out how to transfer files from my computer to my nook (as I did with my microSD in the Cmod 7 install running off the internal HDD of my nook), and can't figure it out. Either answering my original question or just giving me a way to transfer my files would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sora
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Depends on what you mean by data files. There are two kinds. One is where CM stores the installed apps and their settings. I doubt that is what you meant. The second are media data files, like books, magazines, music, movies and just general downloaded files.

If you meant the second kind of data files, for an SD install they are kept on partition 4 of the SD, named SDCARD. You cannot see that partition when you put the SD directly in the PC. The only way to see it with the PC is to plug in the USB cable to the PC while CM10 is running and see them with Windows Explorer. And by default CM10 uses a protocol called MTP to let you see them. It shows up in Windows Explorer as a portable device in the left pane below the drive letters.

I Installed Siyah kernel on my S3 with german firmware ELL4. it all worked out good until i tried to set CPU to 1800Mhz. I definately did NOT check set on boot, nevertheless my s3 crashed and is now stuck in a bootloop.

Is there any possibility to remove the overclock without reflashing the whole firmware? thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
you can flash one of the steaks profiles from the thread (e.g. battery saver or something). it should reset all values. you can find the download, if I am not wrong, in the Siyah development or discussion thread.

so where is the cpu setting stored because it somehow still has to be there?

Good to hear that it is working again ;). I guess the safest overclocking is to a max of 1.6ghz

[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
Ok we all know the big one, no FFC or WiMax in post-GB ROMs. I got four more. What do you got?

Even bone-stock OTA's from Sprint have two irritating things I just have to get off my chest.

First, you can't see how long a call was.

(I know, AOSP people don't have this issue. Thank you. Talking about stock here.)

Sprint appears to have a nasty habit of releasing phones with this feature intact only to surreptitiously remove it with an OTA patch *after* the phone has been on the market awhile. (This behavior goes back to at least 2003

judging by http://forums.webosnation.com/palm-os-devices-apps/42853-get-call-duration-sprint-t600-call-log.html, and of course the feature was working fine on the Evo until they released the first Gingerbread OTA.)

Why should I have to install an app to fix this?

Then of course there's the unused WiMax Notifier LED. Minor point except when you are charging the phone you get no LED notifications at all.

(I know, AOSP people don't have this issue. Thank you. Talking about stock here.)

With Froyo and earlier you used to be able to run an app called WiMax Notifier and it worked pretty well. But with GB it broke and you needed tons of root elevation to get it to work. LightFlow works ok, but occasionally it misses a notification.

As everyone knows, features that mostly work except intermittently are the worst of all.

For instance, every AOSP ROM since .. ever .. has that annoying thing where you press the power button and the screen doesn't exactly wake up sometimes. The capacitive buttons come on and the LCD is actually doing something, but you wouldn't know it because the backlight doesn't come on. No combination of minimum clock speed or governor *completely* eliminates this, I'm sorry.

Another example: I had to stop running Evervolv because the alarm clock went off with *no sound* a couple times too many. It works great EXCEPT WHEN IT DOESN'T.

Basically, something only needs to fail 1% of the time for you to COMPLETELY LOSE TRUST in it.

Ok there's a few of mine, what are your pet peeves?
[EVO 4G General] Diablo67:
Damn brother,you dont dislike android,do ya?hahaha,you might want to get an Iphone,hahaha.Just kidding,the only thing thats pushing me away from android,is all the OS's look alike,nothings different,i myself am not a ICS/JB fan and im now sick of Sense based roms also,so i am also looking around at different OS's,i'd like to get ahold of this new Jolla Sailfish or the Firefox OS phones,now i would be interested in trying those out.But in all honesty,my favorite flavor is Sense,but i do like the flexability of ICS and JB.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
OK, I can come up with a few.

Speaking of the LED. The Light that comes on when it's charging. The light that comes one when you do get a notification. Those aren't the only 2 lights under that little screen. So why can't we use the rest of them.

Up until GB, HTC released code, normally within about a month of a new version. GB took a lot longer. ICS & JB, nada. WTH happened to open Source?

Why did my Ca[citive lights die after my first ICS ROM? Why don't they come back, even when I flash back to Stock/Unrooted?? Why do they work, very occasionally, but really, they're dead. I really miss those lights, especially in the dark.

And to Sprint; Thanks for the slowest 3G speeds on the planet, no 4G and probably no LTE in my area, ever, or at least not for a very long time, but hey, enjoy that 480 extra dollars you've gotten from me in the last 4 years...
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
Ok here's one I just remembered: AOSP stock "mail" app. Delete a message by accident? No undo. Stays in Trash folder forever.

No way to move a message from one IMAP folder to another?

Seriously? You're making me download a separate slightly-less-bare-bones mail app just so I can find a message I accidentally nuked with a stray touch?

It's like the 3G speeds thing - there's enough irritations *when everything is working correctly*, never mind stuff that is actually broken.
[EVO 4G General] jlmancuso:
Heck I am happy with all my data speeds but will never have 4g. All I can say about the 4g is that I am glad I don't have to pay that extra for it and not get it. Thanks to the fact I am flashed to someone besides sprint. Almost 2 Mb download burst with a sustained 500 Kb.

Now I have flashed many ics and jb roms and while most of them my back lights work they have never failed to return to working. Sorry to hear that you had that issue hipkat.

Now as far as the aosp lockscreen issue I have only had that issue on a couple of roms. Decks reloaded was the only one I can remember for sure. Yet most of them never gave me any issue in that manner ever.

We all know not every evo is equal. My first one died of the dreaded aosp death. That one never would run decks rom no matter what I tried. My current on will run anything I put on it except one. The only reason for that is the kernel was overclocked to high for my CPU.

Long live the evo!
