[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacmanman:
Dude, you should check in rom's forums, in Omega, v23 it makes bootloop, solution is to right after the install, in CWM do a "Fix permissions" option, and that is it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irvan90:
I tried this. Still stuck at samsung screen..:(

I went back to stock ics 4.0.4. And somehow i checked my product code. It says that the product code is inactive. Could this have anthing to do with not getting past samsung logo when flashing samsung based JB roms?

Also i have to add that i recently had my motherboard replaced. Could this be the problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacmanman:
Hi, that is weird, how you check the product code?

Did you try to install another JB rom, not Omega v23?

JP
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irvan90:
Hello JP,

I did *#272*imei#. The product code says not active.

I have tried a few JB stock roms via Odin and also neatrom lite. All of them get stuck at the Samsung logo.

How To Extend Whatsapp Validity For Free
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] isht97:
Its against the forum rules to ask these type of questions.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] luisoman2000:
whatsapp extends it for no apparent reason. I've been using whatsapp for a few years and i always got an extention ( latest one lasts till april 2014). There is no way to get an extension for free that i know of. (its just a dollar though, so get a friend with a credit card if you dont have one).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Radixtrator:
Hello guys,

after the long wait for Jelly bean on my Xperia S ive had enough of that phone. It lags a lot in the Homescreen, its slow very often, the walkman random pauses, its sluggish and the support is as good as dead. So now im Thinking of buying a new phone in mid Juli. So my question is: What phone do you think i should get? Ive got my eye on the Z and the SP. I know SP is only a midrange phone, but I completely love the design of it. The Z is more expensive, but probably the better phone. I like Sony a lot, because of the general design and the UI. I wont even start about the support because,... well you know.. And im begging you, no Samsung suggestions )
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] luisoman2000:
might as well go all out and buy the Z. Its flagship status pretty much guarantees it will be first in line for updates (at least for this year, cant say anything bout next year). better specs and great design, plus water(Proof/resistant).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Radixtrator:
Yeah I thought so.. I just hope Sony fixes everything in Jelly Bean..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zenx_X:
noo!! i refer you to uy SP i know Z is better in everything than sp but SP is simple and just like the S u can use it with 1 hand and its battery life is incredible than the Z so i refer you to go with SP:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mtakween:
+1 me to the xperia sp is my next phone
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jackmax32:
If you are going to spend your bucks on Xperia Z range phones, I would suggest you to buy the HTC One...

Don't buy the SP, it's a mid - range non flagship phone - - - - - SO FORGET ABOUT LONG TERM SUPPORT(Look how Sony is treating their last year flagship XS, so SP will suck big time in terms of support from Sony)..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Radixtrator:
Yeah the xperia S is almost dead to Sony, thats the only thing ( except the the bugs) that i really hate about this phone..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Don't think and just go for Z. It has amazing support from Sony and should even have long term support. I think that it even has good developer support on XDA, No need to say anything about the performance. I can easily run any game or app without a single lag on my XZ. There is enough ram to anything that you want. Around 1-1.2 GB free ram is perfect for all user apps. XZ and SP are not comparable. If money doesn't matter to you, just go for a XZ. Believe me, you won't regret it.:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FanDroid09:

If your gonna shell out the money for a Z why on earth wouldnt you get the HTC One? Its definatly better in my opinion.

Sent from no where....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ItBankRock:
+1

Yeah HTC One is better in my opinion (even though I'm a total Sony fan). It's chipset and display is top-notch. Battery life is also better than Z.

HTC One - over 10 hours of video playback, almost 10 hrs of web browsing and 13 hrs of 3G talk time

Xperia Z - 5 and a half hour of video playback, 6 and a half hour of web browsing, 16 hrs of 3G talk time.

(source: GSMArena's battery tests)

Despite its 4MP Ultrapixel camera...HTC is trying to provide continuous software updates to provide better camera quality and improvements.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Radixtrator:
That was one of the bigger dilemmas i was facing;) HTC one or z.. I just dont really like the ui htc provides and i simply love all the things sony adds to the roms.. The walkman app for instance. It is by far the best music app
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yzlnew:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Radixtrator:
Yeah, thats what I was thinking.. Lets just hope the JB for Xperia S really fixes everything :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
Leaving my own personal rants on Sony's software support out of it; i too am in the same boat currently owning an Ion.

As far as the big Android phones for 2013, this is all i've noticed so far...still have plenty of time to figure it out before my upgrade, and i'm hoping i'm happy enough with JB to just wait it out until next year.

Sony Xperia Z/ZL: by far the absolute best physical design i've seen so far in a phone. 5" screen freaked me out at first, but its barely bigger than my Ion, just much more screen. I haven't held a ZL yet, but the Z is pretty incredible if you haven't seen it in person yet. At the same time, its a big 'who knows' on its support. Going by 2012, it'll get one update late summer...then barely ever get mentioned again...Soon after 18 more phones will be available, and Sony will continue having no realistic way of supporting devices they already sold.

HTC One: Good design overall. Most are reporting its very durable, good for me as i love dropping things that are expensive. Not sure about all that layered UI stuff they're up to yet though. Only bad thing for me would be the lack of SD card support.

Samsung Galaxy S4: By far the most popular choice, creating a community of users that rivals Apple, and the support that comes with it. Too bad, though, it looks like a toy. I wouldn't be surprised if the box included a Sesame Street DVD.

for all the above reasons, i'd be very happy just waiting it out and seeing what 2014 brings. maybe sony will turn it around company wise, maybe not. But i still think the Z is too early in this mess for it not to share the EXACT same fate as last years flagship.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
Either you live long enough to buy it now,or regret not to buy it later :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darth5zaft:
Unfortunately, the midranger like XP are getting JB 1st before XS. Not to mention XS got ICS latter than 2011 devices.

The thing is the cost of XZ or HTC ONE is twice the price of XSP.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Radixtrator:
Yes, of course those phones cost twice as much as the XS. But lets face it, the XS has horrible support and an extremley buggy ICS.. Why do you guys think the HTC one is so much better? It probably is a bit better, but id really like to know why. Andthe Z is now already available for 500€ which is a lot less than the HTC
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Andycogen:
I would like to hook up my note 2 to my car stereo's video screen somehow. The stereo has RCA inputs on the back, so I bought an HDMI to RCA converter box as well as an allshare cast. I didn't even think about hdcp or anything like that, but when I try to plug the allshare into my converter box, the box doesn't receive a signal. I'm guessing this is because of HDCP. Is there any way I can get my Note 2 to output over RCA, even if it takes a series of cables/boxes? I'm guessing MHL won't work for the same reason
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonstalker:
It would be easier to just take everything that's on there transferred to a USB dongle and plug the usb dongle into your stereo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Andycogen:
Yeah, I was hoping to use it for navigation so I could see it on my stereo's screen instead of having to look at the phone but I'm coming to understand that this is more or less impossible
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjk2010:
Do you want audio only or video also? EDITED: Just saw your post above.

There are a few converters that do HDMI/miniHDMI -> Composite w/HDCP but they are active adapters that you will need an inverter for either 5V or 9V to it and a few other misc adapters to make it work right. It would likely be cheaper and faster to just buy a suction cup mount for the Note II and a 3.5mm to RCA LEFT/RIGHT break out cable. lol

Do not restore on other devices, flashing/using this image on your own risk. By restoring, you will lose all existing data on your phone (since system, data, boot partitions are overwritten).

Instructions:

Install CWM Recovery if you don't have it yet: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2173863

Download and unpack the archives. Copy the it to the HTC_One_Dev_Edition_Stock_NANDROID_1.29.1540.3 Folder to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups/ folder of your One.

Reboot your phone to the bootloader and enter RECOVERY

Select Backup & Restore

Select Restore and the HTC_One_Dev_Edition_Stock_NANDROID_1.29.1540.3 folder. You can select Advanced Restore if you want to recover specific partitions only.

[One (M7) General] yokken:
Dang... could have used this yesterday! :D No worries... I just adb sideloaded a ROM and flashed that.

For those wondering... I wiped data, cache, dalvik, system, and was about to flash but decided hey! I'll completely wipe the user data too! Get a nice fresh start! Yeah... I deleted the ROM. And my backup. WHOOPS.
[One (M7) General] rockd0gg:
This is especially useful if you are rooting the factory ROM. You lose some apps like flashlight, sound hound etc. when you flash recovery since they are stored in data partition (other peeps unlocking their bootloaders experience that too) and data will get wiped. Just restore your data partition back and you are ready to run again.

Do you just flash it in cwm?
[One (M7) General] rockd0gg:
Yes, just use restore in CWM.
[One (M7) General] dbshane:
Can this be used on a 32gb unlocked version?
[One (M7) General] rockd0gg:
Can't tell for sure but I think it should work. If not, just flash back the old ROM in CWM. However I don't think this ROM gives you any advantage.
[One (M7) General] cdordon:
Can this be flashed on the AT&T 64 GB retail version? Same radios and everything... Right?
[One (M7) General] rockd0gg:
You CAN flash it, but the question is, will it run on your phone? You tell me.

Both phones have the same hardware but a different CID, I think this should work just fine like any other ROM.
[One (M7) General] cdordon:
Didn't work, install aborted.
[One (M7) General] rockd0gg:
Can you please elaborate? What did you do, error messages etc?
[One (M7) General] cdordon:
Tried to flash in cwm, and chose the zip, and it said install aborted. Not much else to recall. Something didn't match it so it kicked it back.
[One (M7) General] rockd0gg:
Did you read the instructions above?

Unpack the archive, copy the folder to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups/ and use RESTORE not install zip.
[One (M7) General] cdordon:
Ah. That would explain it.

Edit- did it correctly, worked like a charm!!

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Warrior1975:
So far, quite nice. Its definitely nicer tham the N7. It matches my GNote 2 quite nicely. I hope Seido comes out with a case for it. The case at Best Buy was too pricey and not what I really wanted. $49, a bit steep for a note book cover.

I think my N7 has seen the lasts of its days, but only if I can convince wifey to let me keep this.

Just wanted to say hello and share my initial experiences. Its very comfortable to hold.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] guthrien:
I love the feel of it in the hand, I think the weight is about perfect for a device like this. It's pretty nice using it as a notepad with how good the SPen works too.

That said, I think the placement of the capacitive buttons feels way off. In portrait which seems like the desired orientation the buttons feel too pushed in toward the center to reach naturally. It feels nothing like my note 2 in that respect. I think it's to avoid the problem you have in landscape where the buttons are easy to hit. Either way feels off, and there should be an option to turn them off. However, being able to press them with the stylus is long overdue, the phone should have that tech.

Best thing about this tablet is how good it gets SPen usage, it's the best most useable version Samsung's made in my opinion. If you mainly take handwritten notes, this is the best tablet I've tried.

Worst thing is screen resolution. If you're used to nice, high pixel density screens this is a major downgrade. It looks as bad as the iPad mini to me despite having better ppi. I looked at it in the store trying to judge this very thing, but once I got it home and started reading on it the text blur immediately started to bother me. I'm a heavy reader and this part is bumming me out. The reading mode just adds a sort of sepia tint to the page to reduce glare it can't magically make the text crisper.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dr.m0x:
Had one since yesterday and it's very nice. Coming from a Nexus 7 and a Note 10.1. This is my favourite things about each combined into the one package. I get the nice portable size of the N7, combined with the multi window and s-pen of the note 10.1. the 10.1 was just too bulky for me and it's been collecting dust ever since I got the Note 2.

The screen resolution hasn't really phased me, I guess coming from the 10.1 has helped a lot in those regards. While things look fuzzy on that thing this looks nice and sharp in comparison.

I'm not sure if I'm imagining it but the software seems a bit more optimised on this one too. There was a slight lag on the 10.1 but this is every bit as buttery smooth as the experience on my Note 2. Good work Samsung, getting better all the time.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Dannyada1988:
Can you describe the nicer terms?I am just confused about that.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] redpoint73:
In some of the online reviews I read, they mentioned that the N8 felt a lot smoother then the 10.1. It does seem they tweaked the software for better performance (as well as having some software features and customer gripes on the 10.1 apparently corrected). And some of it may be due to the slightly better CPU.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] almostinsane:
Picked one up yesterday to replace my N7 as well. This thing is as fast as my laptop, browsing is buttery smooth and pages load extremely quick. IT feels a lot lighter and thinner than the N7 and definitely a huge step up in perf.

While the DPI/res of the screen is OK, the colors and black level are superior to the N7. Videos look fantastic. And finally I get more storage with a SD card slot.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] iCurmudgeon:
Grabbed one too. After putting up with the ridiculous lag on an ASUS TF700 it's a joy to use the Note 8 just for its response time and buttery smoothness. Already rooted mine.

Also found a cheap case on Amazon that appears to support the on/off function -- screen goes off when I close it, comes back on when I open it up.

Exact same for me. Just sold my Note 10.1 today...luckily for the same price I bought it for! So that's a win. LOL Like you...also had the Nexus 7 and so far this seems to be the best of both worlds.

Well, the processor is a bit faster and might have better architecture (not my area to really say) which might be a little of what you're experiencing. I also noticed when my Note 10.1 started to fill up...had about 2gb left of free space on internal storage...it was starting to get little lag spikes as well. We'll see if the 8.0 has that issues since I plan to install the same apps!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] aimfire72:
I agree, also got one this week and was pleasantly surprised, way better than I expected - best Samsung tablet I've ever used.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] chefdave12118:
I've had mine for a few days now. Coming from every tab you can think of (I'm a bit of an android junky and write for an android site :)). Most recently the Nexus 10 and 7.

A few pros - Snappy tablet, s pen works well, nice size, decent battery life, attractive looking tablet and the cameras are fine.

A few cons - Screen is very grainy (look at your notifications in the top left before you pull down the notification bar and your app icons), menu and back buttons are poorly placed (Samsung should have went with on screen for this size. I hit the back and menu buttons way to much in landscape), of course the cheap plastic feel and finally the price tag ($427 is pretty steep for a 16 gig).

These are just a few pros and cons (quickly written on a CIG break at work). I love the tablet, but my two big gripes are the screen and the price tag. Other than that I recommend this tablet to anyone seeking a tablet this size. Now let's hope this tab gets a lot of dev love (that brings me back to the price tag).

Edit. My beef with the screen is most likely because I'm coming from a Nexus 10 (best tablet screen I've ever seen) and a DNA (best phone screen I've ever seen). The screen on the Note 8.0 is fine.... just very grainy coming from those devices.
