[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxonhtc:
Battery - undoubtedly go for Note II. No second thoughts there. Hands down has the best battery life of all phones except Droid Razr (which lacks quite a few features of N2).

If you like the screen size, and battery life is your priority, it's a no brainer IMO.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numbnutsuk:
I've just had to make the sane decision as you. I'm also in 3 and I decided on the note 2 for screen and battery and after a week I made the right choice. After it being off charge since 7am this morning it's now 8 at night and I have 52% left.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshm.1219:
I just made this decision, went with N2. It's already ready to go development wise and you don't have to worry about new phone hiccups or wait a long time for a proper portfolio of accessories. Plus the bigger screen, s pen, and most likely better battery make it worth it to me.

But if you're a stock ROM guy, really want 1080p res, or want the new CPU architecture, then S4's the way to go.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyelm:
Buy a note 2...no contest here. Its got nice screen, big screen, big battery, s pen and just about all s4 software features are coming.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akuma2012:
How did you miss my thread? The note 2 is all you need for 2013 and beyond till the note 3
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3vo3d:
I was also a HTC addict. But was really disappointed with their take on battery and storage. I was tempted by the s3, no s4 in January, but I wanted the big screen. Believe me every day I'm so glad I got the note 2. If I had to choose today between the s4 and the note 2 is still choose the note.

As long as you are happy with size pick the note.

Enjoy.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FarReach:
I've had this same question roaming around my mind for a bit now. Since T-Mo is ending contrancts if you want to end and go on your own. My wife and I are eleigible for an upgrade in June.... not free but if we get a new phone T-Mo is making changes where we would be paying about $20 a month to pay off whatever phone we choose, and that will actually still be cheaper then our plan now. I was thinking about waiting it out for the note 3 but I honestly don't have the patience for that. Went in a T-Mo store yesterday and dude told me it won't be until November most likely until the Note 3 get dropped. I can't wait that long..... I'm getting the Note 2 over S4 and probably sell it in September or October and use that money to get the Note 3.

Notes are big, almost too big but from what I have read peeps love them. Probably take some time to get used to them but I'll learn :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haplok:
Yeah, the size was initially scaring me too, but I got used to it real quick and now would definately miss the screen estate on a smaller device.

Actually the S4 felt like a small toy when I tried it in a shop (also due to low weight).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxonhtc:
I admit that it's slightly (again, slightly - and I've not got the biggest of hands either) awkward to hold at times, but the positives by far outweigh the cons for me. I'm a big time reader (mostly comics :P ) and watch movies on my device. My hands get tired like hell while using tablets and my eyes hurt while using the tiny sized devices - Note II hits the sweet spot for me :) And I don't have to camp near a recharge socket either.

Two is better than one, Note II, waiting for Note 3...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolipopxx:
I need a little help here. I'm currently using Cyanogenmod007 v11, but the latest version is v16. Do i need to do a full wipe or just flash the latest ROM without any wipe?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Normally if u were upgrading from v11 to v12 or v15 to v16 etc u would just flash it over unless the OP says otherwise but since u r going from v11 to v16 then full wipe, there would of been alot of changes between the 2.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Regardless if you full wipe or not, always make sure you make a nandroid backup! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolipopxx:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maze0121:
Just wipe cache and dalvik cache and you be fine
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zer4tul:
if the auther does not say you should do a full wipe, then you don't. just wipe cache and dalvik cache is enough.

you can check out the change log to see if there are big changes ( such as from based CM10 to based on CM 10.1 ). if there are, i personally suggest you to make a nandroid backup before you flushing.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
Hi there O4X Users :)

Today I tried to access my hidden menu (3845#*880#) to look

for a solution from the baseband wakelock thread,

but I always just get a short loading time with "USSD code running" and

after that it says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code."?

I had the same problem back when I used another dialer (MIUI) on stock firmware

and now on CM it seems that the dialer can't access the hidden menu

(at least for me) :rolleyes:

Somebody facing the same problem?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Su!c!d3:
It is because in CM is no hidden menu. The hidden menu is a LG app, and not available in CM.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
Thanks for your reply:)

And how can I use the options that where available in the hidden menu,

like disable fast dormancy etc.?

Anyway to do this?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
there was an option in o4x secret menu to disable fast dormancy? O_o

I would like to somehow enable "USB audio in dock" for only the car dock and disabled for desk dock.

About your V30A installation experience...

Hi anas/LY,

May I ask you if you have completed your V30A download at a nice pace of 43 kbps? ;)

I so, have you been able to flash it? ..and if so again, what were the results? Is it the original V30A version? Does it also update the Baseband?

I am asking you because I also own a P990 (LG 2X) which I updated last week to the Official V30A ICS from LG. And in that case, it did indeed update the baseband, saving, finally, the phone from tons of problems. Now working like a charm, finally, just as we would expect it to do right from the beginning.

So, if you can, I'll be happy to read your results and know if that version of the V30A for the P920 is updating the baseband.

Cheers,

Sly
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvsroot:
Hello I've installed CM 10.1 on my Nook and it works with until End of April.

After installation of cm-10.1-20130429-NIGHTLY-encore.zip the Nook Bottom and the emulated Home Key are not working anymore.

After that it's getting worse, Version 05/02 doesn't boot any more and stays at the boot logo forever.

I've reverted to version 04/25. All versions share the same problem with missing menu entries in settings, for example Developer options and Performance. I can't post in the correct threat so I post it here.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
The new versions require you to activate those menu items. Go to settings, about tablet and tap the build number several times. That will activate them.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvsroot:
Thank you. That's something you must know. I tried to find an option...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kellym:
Thank you for this answer, I was going crazy trying to figure out how to enable USB.

Edit: okay, maybe that wasn't as easy as it seemed. I activated developer options, android debugging is selected, yet my computer (windows 8 laptop) does not recognize the nook, I want to transfer files from my external hard drive to the nook. I updated whatever drivers I thought I should before posting, so I'm not sure what else I should do. I don't see an option for USB mass storage, only debugging. Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You do not want USB debugging on to use USB mass storage. Turn it off. Then go to storage, menu, USB computer connections, and check off USB mass storage. Then when you plug in the USB, there should be a notification in the notification area. Select that and it gives you the option to activate it.

But by default CM10 /CM10.1 uses MTP and not USB mass storage. When you plug it in the device shows as a portable device in Windows explorer below the drivers. But you never know with that crazy W8.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kellym:
Okay, I'm getting closer to figuring this out. I disabled the debugging. Went to storage, checked off USB mass storage then plugged in device which defaulted to MTP, and you're right, it shows up as a portable device in W8 file explorer. When I click on internal storage in W8, I get an error message the device is not responding. Am I not able to transfer/copy files to emmc? I took out the SD card (as you explained to me the thread I normally correspond with you through) before rebooting after flashing CM10.1. I do not yet have a separate card for files, I'll have to buy one this weekend. Thanks again for all of your help.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You can go back to USB mass storage and try that.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kellym:
When I select USB mass storage, the nook disappears from W8 file explorer. The laptop recognizes it with MTP but no access to files. Is this a driver issue?

---------- Post added at 06:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 AM ----------

Same thing happens when I try our other laptop, also W8, recognized with MTP, no access to files, unrecognized with USB mass storage selected.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kellym:
Last question, I think. Is having an SD card installed mandatory for files? I tried emailing a book as an attachment to see if I could save it that way to my internal storage, but I get a pop-up that an SD Card must be in when I try to view/open the pdf.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes, some apps require an SD. Older versions of CM allowed you to swap emmc and sdcard. But it is not implemented in CM10/CM10.1.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kellym:
Does that mean I'll need to use an SD card to read books from? I'm still not sure why I can't enable USB mass storage or access/copy files to emmc. Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It depends on which book reader app you use. Most require an SD, but some, and I don't remember which, allow you to specify where books are stored. Just buy one, they are cheap and don't have to be very big to store books and such.

CM10.1 has been making some changes lately. About how emmc is accessed and that may have messed things up for MTP. It used to work nicely. Getting an SD will help with this issue too.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kellym:
Just curious if you're running any of the release candidates? When I went into develop options to check, there is now rc1 and r 2. I'm not sure if I can jump to rc 2 or if updates need to be installed in order. From what I've read, if I take the update from the Nook, I do not need to wipe anything?

Oddly, now that I have an SD card, I can access emmc via usb and I have not changed any settings since taking cm10.1. If I remove the card, access to emmc disappears, but at least this is forward progress even if I can't explain it. Thanks.

I have not tried it. But you can flash it directly over the older ROM without wiping with no problems.

Hallo everyone

I just got a brand new class 10, 32GB SDHC card, a great upgrade from my previous 4GB. Instead trying to do a complicated move over, or should I say upgrade, I choose to simply start from scratch with my new favorite Desire Rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2070704

I pop in my new card, boot into 4EXT Recovery Touch (1.0.0.5RC9), format and partition the sdcard 1024MB for EXT/rest for fat32. I toggle the usb, copy over CM10.1_VJ_4.2.2_V6.2.zip and try to install it, but I get the following error:

set_perm: some changes failed

E:Error in /sdcard/CM10.1_VJ_4.2.2_V6.2.zip

If I try with the older version: CM10.1_VJ_4.2.2_V6.0_Sense_Data++, I get this:

If I try to install the ROM on my old 4GB, then it works without anyway problems. I have no idea why, or what am I doing wrong. I have been installing lots of roms, and I've never encouraged this problem before. What am I doing wrong?

If I then take out the 4GB stick, and do my first time boot with the 32GB card, then it seems to work! But this doesn't seem like a good solution (this is just my bad guesswork though)?

Couldn't I just first time boot with the 32GB card? What are the negative consequences (if any)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Erase your ext partition, then try to install a ROM again. If it does the same thing, then it's the sd-card's fault.

First time boot doesn't help if you'll lose data from your sd-card being faulty.

Hey folks,

Is there a utility/hack that allows you to change the GSM band from 900/1800 to just search the 1900 band? Since upping to 1.72 my radio always locks onto the 900 band and stays there for ages before locking onto my operator (on the 1900 band). I have to have at least 80% signal level. I know that 900 generally is a stronger signal (the other operator is always at least 10-20% over my operator), so thats why [note: I cannot roam with the other operator].. I know the new iPaq seems to have a band select, and my Treo 600 does too....

HTC do you have a util?

Any help greatly appreciated.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] HDJ80:
Try this: go to phone, tools, options, network, network selection and put it in Manual, select your network and OK.

Tell us if it works well thus.

If it dont work, you can install old radio version.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] am-imate:
Thanks folks for the replies.. That's actually how I have it set now (manual on my operator), but for some reason when you turn the radio on it locks on to the 900 band and just sits there.. If I walk around until a strong enough signal is obtained from my operator it'll lock on; but as you can imagine this is really annoying.

Thanks again for your pointers. If I find anything out I'll let you know, as I've also shot an e-mail to Carrier Devices; and will shoot something directly at HTC.

I may also drop down to Radio 1.10; but I hate having to re-install all my software again.. :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] HDJ80:
You can make backup, install old radio version and make restore.
