[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
Where are you from? Maybe the JB update isn't available for your country until today.

You can install a Stock JB Rom (one of the official releases) with PC Odin.

Install JB and test your pen again - then you'll know if it's broken.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy_X:
10x for quick answer ThaiDai. I`m from Romania. And I think the update is not ready here (it comes very slowly from carriers).

Pls. can give me advices how to install latest official stock Android with Odin, without rooting (I mean, i hope kies and OTA still working after).

Links, tutorials or something?

I just tested s-pen with testing tools and is working chaotic.

10x in advance. Jim
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
Dr. Ketan's thread is the thing you need.

Follow the installation steps in 1a and 1b.

You can try XXLSZ from Germany (download links in his thread).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy_X:
How about S-Pen, what do you think, is a common problem or is my S-Pen broken or an 4.0.3 issue. How can I fix this?

And btw, on step 1b says to flash an custom kernel (PhilZ) first and then flash stock kernel. This make device rootable and KIES and OTG will not be available? (Allshare and Radio too)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy_X:
I try all day to do something with S-Pen, but useless. S-Pen works time to time and need really preasure to write/draw something. Sometimes I hope not cracking the display with that high pressure. I read tons of threads but never find someone with this issue. Mostly have issues with to sensitive pressure and 2mm inaccuracy (present in my case too). Help pls?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
Did you install another Rom and check S-Pen after this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy_X:
ThaiDai no. I just stay on stock 4.0.3 what comes with the device. I just can`t understand why bunch of ppl over internet has problems o Note 1 with to much sensitivity at S-Pen, an I haven`t it at all. I need to stab the display to draw a single dot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
Install JB and test your pen again - then you'll know if it's broken.

You should try this first - from lamenting it will not get better.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy_X:
I`ll try somehow to test my s-pen on other device or some othe s-pen on my Note to test it. If I can`t, device has guarantee certificate and that`s why I don`t update to JB, temporary. Is very strange tho...

You don`t reply to my question. If I want to update to JB, need to install (PhilZ) first and then flash stock kernel? This make device rootable and KIES and OTG will not be available? (Allshare and Radio too)?

10x in advance ThaiDai.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
And you don't read what is written there. No stock kernel but a stock rom is installed.

But why do you ask JB installation questions when you do not want to install JB?

So use your certificate and let Samsung repair your device or pen
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy_X:
I`ll do that. And if my problem is fixed, after I`ll try an JB Rom. 10x ThaiDai.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy_X:
ThaiDai, installed 4.2.1 official germany stock via Odin and works great. This week I'm going to Samsung service to solve my SPen problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy_X:
Solved S-Pen problem and now my Note with official kies Android 4.1.2 work almost great (a little exception with battery fast draining).
[Android Apps and Games] wojtas1982:
Hi,

Here's a complete working project to use with IGo Primo. It turns on GPS when Igo is Active.

It keeps GPS Active when Dialer is started or Any Call is in progress. It turns off GPS when IGo is stopped.

What you need:

Tasker :)

Igo Primo (or any other Navi App but you will have to edit the profiles)

Secure Settings (for GPS Control)

optional:

Ultimate Rotate Control (I use it to keep screen in Portrait for about 10 seconds when Igo is starting, otherwise Dimka skin doesn't load properly)

So basically when you start Nav App, variable carmode is set, when you turn on dialer from Igo primo variable carmode is kept as well as incoming or outgoing call is made. I made it on Xperia S.

Before that I was trying to use a Condition App Plugin for tasker but it didn't detect Igo properly.

Fell free to test and write your opinions and suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] Emil Borconi:
Hi. Thanks for the zip, however I do have some difficulties to set it up. Can you please write a small howto? What settings do I need to change in igo, and how to import your xml?

Thanks again.

If I buy a bluetooth USB adapter for my PC, can I then share and transfer files between my XDA2 and my PC? If so, are there any particular specs I should look for in an adapter? Also, would this then be able to allow my XDA2 to use my PC's internet connection (ADSL)?

Lee.
[Networking] Rudegar:
yes using activesync just like when you connect using the cattle / usb

if the bluetooth usb follow the std of bluetooth then it should act the same no matter which adaptor you get
[Networking] raheeeb:
special settings

do i need to make special settings to make the XDA II access internet via blouetooth activesync. i finally managed to get my device connect to my pc using bluetooth.
[Networking] joparp:
Re: special settings

Hi,

The only setting you need to do is on PC ActiveSync. Go to Options > Rules > Pass Through (at the bottom of the page) and choose The Internet.

That's it. Once your PC is connected to the Internet, you XDA with Bluetooth ActiveSync can also enjoy the Pass Through Internet.

Cheers
[Networking] raheeeb:
joparp i did the same thing and it is not working!!!
[Networking] yoc81:
Hi i have an XDA 2 and a MSI bluetooth USB adapter (the range of the adapter doesn't matter as far as i can tell because its the XDA 2's 10m range thats the limit). The XDA 2 connects through to the PC using active sync. Active sync doesn't have bluetooth support but this is ok because it can connect to serial (com ports). PC Bluetooth can create virtual com ports to connect to so just make sure that your PC active sync is set to your virtual com port. Then all you have to do is click on tools (in active sync on XDA 2) and select connect via bluetooth. Works great! free FAST internet when in range of the pc (10m open air) and if i can get it working with bluetooth, accessing the lan using Pocket Lan (if anyone knows how i'd love to know! :P ). hmmmm access to mp3's on pc network :p
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambchopuk:
I took the plunge last week and installed JB on my phone. I am running I9070XXLQB. Is there a more up-to-date version that I should be running?

The only bug that I seem to have (apart from occasional lagging and not great battery life) is that geolocation doesn't seem to work in my apps (beautiful widgets, voucher cloud etc) but it seems fine in Google Now
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frzek:

For lagging and battery life i reccomend u to use custom kernel like cocore and custom rom like chuckybean.

Hello Folks,

first of all i wanna introduce myself. I am an 19 year old student from the Netherlands.

My hobby's are football, networking, tweaking with computers and smartphones/tablets and playing on the PS3 xD.

Right now im an iPhone user for almost 3 years and i am beginning to get really tired of it... THe OS is so incredibly boring and there are no tweaking opportunities available. Even if you have jailbroken it, it gets really unstable and there are actually, besides a few cool tweaks, no cool things to do in the OS....

Therefore i decided to order the new HTC One. I was thinking about buying the S4 from Samsung but i stick with my pre-order of the HTC One.

I really like too know from you people what the pro's and con's are if you compare the iOS vs the Android.

Things i like on the iPhone:

- iCloud

- Protube (jailbreak), directly convert and download youtube videos to an audio extension and import it directly to your library.

- Apps for streaming movies/series

Well, thats all...

The protube tweak was really nice, so i wanna know if there is something similar to install on the android os too?

Besides that, i really like to watch series on my iPhone with some apps from cydia (jailbreak)It lets me watch anime shows and tv shows directly on my phone, and my question is:

Are there apps on the android available to watch tvshows (also non-anime shows) and movies? (STREAM-BASED) for free?

Last question:

I read alot about flashing your ROM etc. But i am completely new to android (and i mean completely). If i start reading a tutorial about "how to flash the rom", i definitely lose track about whats going on.......

SO if someone could help me out with my questions, you help me alot!!:D

So thanks in advance, and have a nice day folks!!

:good::good:
[One (M7) General] flyaway9000:
Sorry

Well instead of icloud theres google drive or dropbox

And Im pretty sure theres an app that lets you download youtube videos also check out the android market website.
[One (M7) General] Slim Shady:
well for streaming there are a few like:

cool streaming :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.coolstreaming.android&hl=en

jetflick : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jt.w32watch&hl=en

mivo tv: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mivo.tv&hl=en

as for ur question for flashing is concerned i will just give u a quickie:

first is the rooting (similar as to jailbreak) to gain superuser (admin) access

second is mods which u can flash by using custom recoveries like sound mod,graphics mod etc and by custom recovery i mear using twrp http://teamw.in/project/twrp or cwm http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager since the stock recovery on android does't allow to do much stuff like flashing zip files from sd card or flashing custom kernels

Third by rom we mean here custom os u can say it as modified stock android os of ur phone like for htc one here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191462

this above link will answer all ur questions in detail and if u have any doubts or questions well shoot that;s what forums are for ain't it

Hello,

Recently my phone get stuck a lot, when i am chatting via whatsapp for 5 min,

I am getting an the error messege that we all know ("[Force close] [Wait]"),

and the notifications bar disappear,

and then the only thing i can do is to lock and unlock him,

and if i want to do something, i have to reboot him.

i have tried lots of ROMs, and it's still kept happening.

so i think that thi is a hardware problem.

currently i know nothing about the phone hardware, there is anything that i can do alone, or buy new hardware and install it by my self ?

or i should send it for fix by professionals?

thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston951:
Anyone ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
Try flashing stock ftf then you'll know for sure if its a software issue brcause that should solve any software issues
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston951:
It's a hardware problem.

should i buy new hardware and replace it by my self ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
It's probably cheaper, but if you mess it up, you're screwed.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxxuor:
Have you tried different kernels? Maybe start with Dommkernel for GB which is know to be very stable.

Still sounds like its more likely to be a software issue.

If not then i am not sure what you need to replace or if there are any replacement-parts for it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston951:
I am currently using DooMKerneL and AuroraPlay.

yesterday, i have locked the phone, and i tried to power on the screen and the screen, was off for an hour and half, so i am pretty sure it's a hardware problem.

the issue is that i dont know what part of the hardware i need to replace.

my thoughts it may be the power button and the CPU or chipset,

are they easy to replace and where i can buy them or even better parts that will upgrade the perfomance of the phone ?

i have tried to flash the stock rom via fllashtool, and the problem with the screen kept happening.

can someone tell me what is the problem and how i can solve it ?

Thanks for trying helping me
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
I wouldn't waste your money on a power button, that's not the problem. Also, I don't really think you can upgrade the phone. It'd require other drivers & stuff. You can find parts here. Got the link in this thread.

There might be a guide here.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew9292:
After playing around with kernels and roms, running numerous benchmarks... I found that my N7's write speed is 2-3Mb/s ; read 20-30Mb/s depending on kernels/roms/settings...

My question is, what is the average write speed for N7, i've read reviews where the write was 8Mb/s at least... is mine normal?

Setteled with paranoidandroid + franco kernel btw... all other kernels/rom make not much a difference as it is always in between 2-3Mb/s
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kekx:
I recently read that the 3G version got a better memory.

So which N7 version do you have?

(Or was it the 32GB version? Not sure about that atm..)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew9292:
Sorry for not stating earlier, its a 16GB WiFi only version...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kekx:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/googles-nexus-7-gets-a-fresh-coat-of-paint-for-the-holidays/

So this article says that the 32GB version has a better flash memory built in.

I just benchmarked mine using the "A1 SD Benchmark" (using SlimBean 4.2.2 on N7 3G 32GB) and I got 44,13MB/s (Read) and 12,12MB/s (Write), so it's pretty fast^^

You might try another rom or just another tool for benchmarking, but it is proved that your version uses a slower flash storage.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew9292:
Same here, you might be able to see my result in the list. I just saw yours... With A1 SD Bench mine is R:307.82MB/s W:2.26MB/s ... ridiculous isnt it? *headache*
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kekx:
Take a look here:

http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/mobile/loqbCbKVMWE%5B1-25-false%5D

There seem to be some more people with the same problem.

Is your rom a fresh install or do you already use it for some time now?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew9292:
Yep, i've seen that one too but there's quite some differences here. Mine is a fairly clean storage with about 10GB free, it would be about 12GB because i just transfered a movie earlier to test practical senario speeds. Fairly clean install too, just factory reset + wipe cache & dalvik + install rom & kernel, this was 12 hours ago...

Have repeated that process for about 6 times n tried many kernels... Maybe last resort will be wipe storage, reformat from TWRP and push the files thru usb? I'm not confident on this total wipe and reflash kernel & rom zips.

Will TWRP still be there after a full wipe? Can i just copy paste the kernel & rom zips from my lappy and install from TWRP?

---------------------------

Problem fixed by reseting and then flashing faux's 'reset kernel', now using faux's latest kernel. My first kernel was franco's and since then the 2MB/s problem surfaced even after reverting to full-factory and reflashing everything, but i always went franco first, then others. In my non expert opinion this reset kernel helped in my problem... Thanks!

Thats more like it :cowboy:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Completely normal.

Writing is always slower in flash memory. This is due to the fact that the data can't just be "written": the data must first be read out of an entire "eraseblock" (group of pages) region into the cache, and then the whole eraseblock is erased, the changed data is merged into the data in the cache, and finally, the contents of the cache corresponding to the entire eraseblock are written. Even though the basic page size is a little bit more than 2k, the eraseblocks can be quite large. I'm not sure of what it is for the Nexus 7 but in previous devices I've owned it was 128 kb. (64 basic pages)

In modern flash devices that support TRIM, it is possible that the controller has a pool of already-erased eraseblocks to work with; this is certainly better than the above case, but it doesn't change the fact that if you want to write a 2kb file, you will be actually writing perhaps 128k or 256k of data.

On top of this the eMMC controller is also doing "wear leveling" in the background - even more writing. Look up "write amplification" - it is a phenomenon which is specific to flash memory that has no analog in other media such as disk drives or RAM.

So, the results a given benchmark will report depend on whether the writes are contiguous, and also their size. Androbench reports only ~ 0.2 to 0.3 MB/sec for random small writes, but substantially higher for contiguous writes. But even when the benchmark write size is the same size as the eraseblock group, writing is still going to be slower in flash memory than reading.

I'm skeptical that your kernel switching did anything other than elicit a quirk in a particular benchmark.

cheers
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew9292:
Hmm i'm aware that writing is slower than reading in most media, block sizes and intelligent data writes, quantum tunneling effects whatnot... but for it to be that slow was puzzling, plus the performance hit can be felt when compared to open box since i just the N7 about a month ago, there were microstutters when running games, video, even when playing music or doing anything... not sure how to put it but it wasnt 'butterly smooth' & felt like it was on a kind of powersafe governer, even after a full warranty purpose stock restore... My college gives out N7for it's students so i could compare between & mine was definitely off.

About TRIM i have used LagFree to TRIM the SD/Partitions in the kernels i used, i do know that since my first root and flash i was stuck at 2MB/s +/- write in AnTuTu, even today after discovering A1 SD Bench, it also reported a figure 2-3MB/s with franco & leankernel. Only after this 'reset kernel' and reflash it shot up to >10MB/s... will continue testing with a reflash again later n report if it regressed, but let me enjoy the speed i was deprived for the time being =D

I'm no expert in android/unix/linux so i will never conclude that the kernel was the cause, but the case is this reset and reflash helped after a week of shooting around kernels and roms... definitely luck too.lol. N thank you for the information on the bench apps! Hope this is just a one-off thing... Cheers :highfive:

View attachment 1832918View attachment 1832919View attachment 1832920

600% increase in write speeds?

Idk what else i can deduce here except franco has poor disk performance n somehow affected following kernels till the 'reset kernel'...

Since i always went franco first (r47/48) even after a full stock restore, it explains why all the other kernels after the franco kernel were affected...

Anyone able to reproduce this? If so, can someone kindly inform franco since i'm new and unable to post in dev-related forums?

Yes i know general performance franco is higher but i feel 'butter smooth' on faux after the reset and totally no microstutter.

Not trying to create a war here but just saying that for a person like me, copying HD movies to my N7 for viewing on a daily basis i will need the faster write speeds or it'll take hours...perhaps take this as a bench/guide too to recover from the issue if it affects anyone

[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
I don't believe on those kind of studies anyway, most of them are wishful thinking.

Even if this study proves correct, the "huge" 3D trend won't probably come from LG (or HTC) phones because their small market share don't make them trend setters.

But if the next iPhone or Galaxy has a 3D screen, 3D will immediately become huge. ;)

[LG Optimus 3D] Rho'd Berth:
LG would have had a big advantage, if it would have put 3D on a phone with Gingerbread at release and ICS half a year later.

If it would have put 3D on a phone with double it's memory and more processor speed.

If it would have put 3D in marketing not only focussing on it's gimmicky 3d screen, but more on the camera.

If it would have re-introduced it in the new flagships that followed the Optimus 3D, most of all the Optimus G.

But now the entire experiment is considered to be a 'failure' because it was part of a phone that was badly supported, released with outdated software, and too little memory. Perhaps the thickness was also a factor, but maybe LG was just not able yet to release a thinner 3D phone.

And even then the O3D sold 1,5 million times.

I wonder how often the Optimus G was sold.... It's definitely not that much more.

LG had the big option in had to differentiate itself from it's competitors, but simply choose not to do so.
