[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] t0kgrumps:
Lol is there even the port of the os to our note? We can't even get ubuntu to run correctly on our note. Well I think GB has the best battery life among ICS and JB but the bad thing is that it not only lags but lacks some things from jelly bean. Btw, samsung started releasing stability fixes for the note 2 recently. http://www.sammobile.com/2013/06/18...ty-update-galaxy-note-ii-still-android-4-1-2/ I really hope Samsung does the same for the note (will never happen) or some dev ports the system for our note along with the fixes
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xeltos:
It's evident that samsung screwed. Big time on note jb update. Its a battery killer, and slow. I just switched to cm and am happy so far.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ravensysteam:
Live Note and Sweet ROM V9 both provide excellent Battery life. I achieved 5 hours screenon-time with 16 hours, even playing some games and drawing with sketchbook Mobile.

As for AOSP-ROMs, Utackas PA aint that bad. Also, the FSC ROM build by asf58967 is the one I am using right now and has pretty impressive battery life too (even though with heavy usage, TW remains the winner).
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] saeker:
I upgraded my rom to 2003 and now I cant write another rom to it. Everytime I run rom.exe it tells me the connection was forcibly shut down and to check my USB connection. But then I can turn around and sync it.

what up!!!!!!!!!!?????????
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Fortinbras:
What is your ROM version?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Mobile1:
Rom upgrade

It doesn't matter what Active Sync you are using. If you upgrade to 2003, you can't change to anything else by activesync. The easiest way is to use XDA Tools. Here is a link to someone who had the same problem. This thread helped me when I was in your situation. you can find the software and everything you need in this thread.[/url]
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
i dont think he want to go back to 2002 i think he just want

his 2003 to work with active sync
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Qman:
Yes that sounds about right, your only option now is to use the boot loader

method to up/downgrade your ROM. So if you don't have one already its time to get yourself a PC SD card reader.

BTW what ROM are you trying to up/downgrade to?

I'm planing to modify a USB <-> MicroUSB Charging Cable to activate "Car Mode".

On many other Phones it is possible to activate this Mode by putting a resistor between PIN4 and 5

Does anyone know which resistor is required for Nexus4 to:

- activate Car Mode

- activate Dock Mode

- activate other? Modes?

HTC Desire e.g. uses 1M for Car Mode

Samsung uses 619k
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Unfortunately car mode was removed from android in 4.2.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptpost:
I'm on 4.2.2. and Car Mode ist still present!

I use Tasker to activate Car Mode by NFC-Tag, so maybe it came back?

The link you provided just removes the "HOME"-Button for Car/Dock-Apps.

In older versions it was possible to come back to the App by pressing "home". Now "home" will be "home" and show Homescreen.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mondegreen:
The Nexus 4 costs a mere $299 and the Nexus 7 tablet only $199. Many analysts think Google is heavily subsidizing these products, selling them at break-even or even losing money (to an extent, that may depend on some cost-accounting assumptions--suffice it to say, they aren't believed to be profiting from the hardware sales).

My question is--will this pricing be sustained? I care both for theoretical reasons--it's just an interesting question--and personal reasons--I am going to switch to T-Mobile's Value Plan, which offers cheaper rates in exchange for eliminating hardware subsidies.

Thanks for your opinions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vansimon:
Yes for me yes
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hreidmar:
I've seen an article like 3 months ago where some chinese company made a 4,7 inch phone with such specs that it could beat the Galaxy S3 and the price.....only 199 US dollars. =)

Samsung, Sony, HTC and every other major OEMs OVERCHARGE their products. $ :cowboy: $

But in my opinion yes Google will stay with the prices as their goal is to make phone affordable yet powerful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NixZero:
dont forget that google's gains from ads, searches, datamining, play store sales and in-app sales and ads.

they dont really need any hardware revenues, they got into phones and tablet sales just to shock the market which (mostly for tablet) was growing stale and lazy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechMasta:
I'm pretty sure they don't make a loss.. they might be making a slight profit in their hardware but the main profit comes in the software;)

Updated Thoughts on Nexus Pricing, Ref Moto X

Most of the predictions and pundits said the Moto X would be very affordable off-contract, perhaps even below the (very impressive) $299 price point of the Nexus 4. What a bust that turned out to be. The announcement didn't even talk about off-contract, then later in the day it came out that off-contract will be typical high-end pricing.

But while disappointed, I'm not really that surprised. I've had my doubts about whether Google will continue low Nexus pricing. It would seem to cause a lot of relationship conflict, with carriers (in U.S.) but especially with manufacturers. The handset makers are, understandably, touchy enough about Google owning Motorola. Having Motorola become the disruptive, low-cost competitor would only fan the flames. Thus, not surprised that the Moto X doesn't impress on price.

So back to Nexus. There are those who believe the Moto X is the Nexus 5...meaning there is no real Nexus planned for this year. If that proves true, it reinforces the point. I also predict a phased rise in the price of Nexuses when they do come out. The next one, whenever it comes out, will be $375-$400 for the low memory configuration. Then the next one will increase by another $75-100, at which point they will have reached their equilibrium price. Also, there may not be a Nexus device every year--only when Google has a reason for releasing one.

I really hope I am wrong. A few months ago I switched to Tmo's new "un-carrier" plan. We have data for a family of 5 for $120/month (the kids have to make do with 500 Mb, which really isn't that bad). Depending how often you buy new phones, and whether you get BOGOs, etc, it is about break-even

at full retail pricing. But if you can get Nexuses for $299, it offers very compelling savings.

(P.S. Yes, I do understand Google makes money off ads, not devices, and if they really wanted to, they could sustain low Nexus pricing forever. I didn't mean sustainable in the pure profit margin sense, I meant it in the marketing and partner relationships sense. :cowboy: )
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vic_singh:
Simple answer: yes!

But: there is always a "but"

Unless you're into tech and knows the product offering then this will be a steal, however for 90% of the consumer shopping for a phone looks at features which they never use. Samsung, HTC, Sony etc. All can charge $600 because they have justify their developer team also the money spent on marketing.

Sammy has Touchwiz, HTC has Sense, etc. which try to differentiate then self from other manufacturers. Nexus products were intended for developers however Google saw the potential of gaining market share from Apple and jumped on the opportunity.

Unless other manufacturers pressure Google to change their price point we will continue to receive great products at low cost and for that thank you Google.

Hello,

I have some problems using a mouse with my phone. I guess android use this key assignment:

Left button: normal click

Middle button: home

But with the One X, all mouse buttons perform only normal clicks. Some ideas to fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jowshuf:
Hello everyone

I'm having a problem with my Sim card and or holder. It randomly says Sim card not found or missing when it's perfectly still. I tried replicating the problem by throwing my phone into the couch and shaking it, but that doesn't do it. I have flashed multiple roms, flappjaxxx, cm 10 "stable", paranoid android, but as of now I'm on 100% stock. I used kies to restore to stock and i updated my baseband with I717UCMB4. Is there a clear cache option? I didn't clear any caches going to stock. As of right now it works but will go out sometime today....

Thanks in advance and I have found a $9 replacement with tools but that's 9 dollars and far away. :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
It's a known hardware issue, call warranty. This topic has been covered multiple times and a quick search would yield a lot of results. At&t replaced mine no questions asked. I had a repair place near me and walked in after talking with warranty on the phone with a wiped phone and handed it over and they handed me a new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jowshuf:
What if it isn't covered by the warranty? Can i replace it or no? I apologize but I really did search and again but I do not see my particular problem...

Once again thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
I suggest you take the device to a qualified repair shop...

While it is possible to change this item yourself, it does take expertise, and the proper tools...

your call of course....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jowshuf:
Sorry to bring it up again, but I've searched and the only temporary solution is to take the sim and battery out for a minute to place in another phone which I get a random text from 1-000-000-000. It says in the text....

Alpsgaacds01.attwireless.net:5400f=0.......

Blah Blah Blah.

I'll keep searching and I'm going to call AT&T to see if they can help. My phone is out of warranty btw...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
You can call Samsung and ask for the price to replace the sim slot. I doubt it would be above $50. You don't have to be under a warranty to get a good repair.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jowshuf:
I ordered the part and i will post results. I have replaced my charging port before so this shouldn't be harder.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jowshuf:
Finally got and installed my new sim card and sd card tray and it did not improve my condition... It still randomly says the simply card is not there.... I'll try getting Samsung to fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
A couple quick questions.

1) Why wasn't your phone covered by warranty? Did it suffer water damage or did you open it?

2) Have you searched online for a repair center? There a couple good one's out there that'll probably take a lot less time than samsung will.

3) Did you just replace the tray or the whole board it was attached to?

If I recall correctly (someone correct me if I'm wrong) if you send in the phone for repair instead of warranty they'll charge you an evaluation fee and could take up to a month to repair it. I had a similar incident with my old blackjack and they decided I was out of warranty and charged me a $50 "evaluation" fee. I told them to keep the phone and went out and bought a blackjack2.

But back on point. Check online, there have been a few good vendors and a couple recommended on XDA for repair, I just can't recall any of their names. I hope it goes well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brad1970:
Same issue

Did Samsung fix it or did you get the issue fixed?

I am having the same issue, I bought a new replacement SIM slot, did the replacement, worked for like a whole 2 minutes, then told me SIM card issue and to restart and hasn't seen the SIM card since. I've owned the phone for like a year and a 3 months, so I'm really doubting it's under warranty anymore (standard warranties are generally only a yr anyway) plus now that I've done the work to replace the card they may take ye ol "you've opened it, no warranty anymore." route.

I've put my SIM card back in an old iPhone 3G I still have & it gets recognized no problem. Wondering if it's a motherboard issue at this point. I'd go ahead and buy a Note II but I'm afraid as soon as I do they'll announce the Note III and that would just plain ol' SUCK!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
It can't hurt trying to see if you're still covered under warranty. Unless it's obvious it's been worked on.

Also a few people reported fixing SIM card errors by reverting back to stock with Odin. Then reflashing their favorite rom.

No SIM after Upgrade

My Note developed the "No SIM" problem after upgrading to the new AT&T stock ROM 4.1.2. The first time this happened I took my Note in to an AT&T kiosk and picked up a new SIM. The next day the error happened again. I decided to do some research and find and fix the problem myself.

A lot of trial and error later the problem seems to have been solved. My device has been running just fine for three days now. Of course, it could just be coincidence... At any rate I DO NOT promise that this will work for you, but the steps I used are:

1) Do a full nandroid backup.

2) Do a Titanium backup of all aps.

3) Go to setting, -> More Settings, -> Mobile Networks, -> Access Point Names. Create a new APN and populate it like this:

Name- ATT Phone

APN- Phone

Proxy- Not set

Port - Not set

User Name- Not set

Password- Not set

Server- Not set

MMSC- http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

MMS Proxy- proxy.mobile.att.net

MMS Port- 80

MCC- 310

MNC- 410

Authentication type- None

APN type- default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri,internet

APN protocol- IPv4

Enable/disable APN- (check mark)

Bearer- Unspecified

Once that is done save and exit, then make the new APN the default.

4) Have a fully charged OEM battery handy.

5) Remove back, battery, & SIM card.

6) Clean SIM by wiping with a soft, lint-free cloth. May use a bit of acetone if necessary, but if you do make sure you get it ALL off. Wipe the battery contacts while you're there.

7) Reinsert the SIM and the fully charged battery.

8) Boot into Recovery and do a full wipe.

9) Reboot and wait a few minutes. Check that the "No SIM" error is gone!

10) Setup may be via Google Restore, Titanium Backup, some combination, or just a full reconfigure.

I worked for me, maybe it will for you, too. Thanks to RangerCaptain for a link to the APN settings..

Peace Out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zancro:
Scratch the approach above. After two days I'm right back to the same "No SIM" error. I've ordered a replacement SIM port from eBay. I'll edit again after I see if that works. Sincerely apologize if I misled anyone in the meantime.

The system is still there (and bootable) but all my data is lost (music and photos as well as backups).

Now my question to you, I desperatly need your help... How can I get my stuff back (those mentionned above).

I tried some known windows applications like recuva, but they don't recognize the phone (an MTP ting maybe ?)

TWRP won't mount the sd card while in recovery : getting error "unable to mount 'usb-otg' "

Does somebody have an idea ? Please help me, being unable to use my phone because of not wanting to make the things irrecoverable is a pain :(

How is the best way to get custom recovery back? Do i need to do the full bootchain flash sequence in Odin, flash just recovery in Odin, or can i use rom manager to install recovery? Thanks!

Why can't u just download it again from the play store? If u initially had it all your info should still be on your phone; j7st need to reinstall recovery. I have to do this with CWM & TiBu every time I flash a new ROM.
