[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
Ive had my Note 2 now for 3 weeks and I absolutely love it. from the Amazing low light Camera to one of the best Music players on any phone in the business, however, Im finding that Im ending up just using it like my Galaxy S3 or older S2, txting, phoning, wifi and play store, yet i know its capable of so much more. I tried the 184 page pdf manual, but what a joke that is.. theyve built an amazing device with the S Pen usable in every app, yet theyve wasted sections of the manual on how to just turn on/off Flipboard, Maps, Google Earth, Music Player, send a txt or activate wifi.. Really Samsung..

Ive looked on YouTube, yet videos on tips and tricks are scattered around and tend to repeat the same things alot..

So, is there a good website that teaches/explains about how to get into the deeper side of this beast and really use it.. such as S Pen and what it can do in apps, drawings, paintings, diaries and workbooks, how to use it properly

Using the Media player over the web and the HDMI/USB through TV and setting it up..

The deeper side of the camera and video player, great apps and editors and how the device really works.

It seems a shame to spend all that money and then just use it like a SGS2.

I found this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/My-Samsung-...&qid=1368029215&sr=1-1&keywords=galaxy+note+2

But do i need that or is there a good web resource out there

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Just go around open random apps and try out the settings.. you can probably figure out quite a lot of functions through that you might find useful.

To be honest there isn't much difference between note 2 and s3 other than the fact that the screen is bigger and you get s pen. So the point is to utilise the pen!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
Smart dock? Otherwise, it is still just a phone at the end of the day. Albeit a badass phone.

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
I dunno I think its a better media device than the S3, to me the camera and video are much more detailed, especially in low light and has more features and lens apature, also the music player through my Sennheiser mx phones is alot more natural and less bass-y.

But thanks though, going through the S Pen settings has helped learn abit more, im a bit of a perfectionist and dont like thinking im not using its potential :).

But i thought ide share this, in case anyone is feeling like me:

Also..

Star Dock looks interesting, ill explore that.. but never used it before.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheesha_straw:
yes, i agree...was gonna recommend you watch this guys uploaded video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/Lucidmike78/featured), but you already did, that's good, it also helps me a lot as a new SGN2 user, just subscribe & download any useful tips you might need
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
Thanks for the tip, appreciated, theres loads of sites around the web, but theyre all spread out. Hope your enjoying your Note 2 as well. Its a great device.

Let me know if you find any other resources and ill do like wise :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MrTeddyChills:
I havent had the time to send my evo 3d in yet.

Has anyone sent it in yet and got a response?

was it rooted?custom rom? or did you restore it to stock?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] swaze:
I sent my OG Evo last week. Was rooted with stock rom on it. They said it would take 2 weeks for them to get it and another 2 weeks for me to get the giftcard, so I don't expect to hear anything for a while.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
Nope. Got my phone on April 19th and sent my EVO 3D on Tuesday, April 23rd.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MrTeddyChills:
I'm thinking whether or not to restore it to stock..
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] regalpimpin:
I'm gonna send them my OG evo fully unlocked running Evervolv.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] reynoldsrobbie:
I sent my OG evo unlocked with a ROM on it. Don't see why they would care at this point.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rsktkr1:
I have a old EVO 4G thats rooted with a different ROM too. I have got to send it to HTC to get the credit - think I should install the original ROM and unroot somehow?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rydah:
I sent in my sprint HTC evo 3d, s off stock rooted with Virgin Mobile branding. Lmao

Sent From My HTC One, On The Now Network From Sprint!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ScrapSilicon:
heh I sent in my Sprint marked evo 3d with s-off rooted loaded with NegaLite-BluRom on it and almost selected the VM settings :D ..

I really didn't want to part with it but the lure of that $100 card ..

*sigh*
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Paleryder:
What did they say you would get for the evo 3d?

Did you see anywhere you were supposed to sign the paperwork you were to include in the box with your phone?

Thanks

I sent in my old samsung transform running 4.22 LOL the kid was using it for you tube

I sent in a non-3g HTC Dash and its estimated to arrive the 15th.

Can't believe I'm getting $100 for that thing. Haha.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
That's exactly what mine did. All I did was flash a Stock rooted ROM. I too had flashed the VM firmware back when! :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ScrapSilicon:
I did not ( and currently do not as I still have the shipping label page up in addition to a hard copy ) see anything about signing anything but as far as the $100 goes

Item: HTC Evo 3D (CDMA) / Shooter

Qty: 1 Value: $100 (HTC Visa Prepaid Card)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Crystallux:
I went to a corporate store. They didn't even really look at it, just the device itself and that it had a working battery. But I was on AOKP not stock.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wranglerray:
I went to the corporate store too, the rep turned my 3d on with viper rom sense 4 and he was like "wow this is nice" lol

my response was yea I like It too.

But nothing other than that.

if he could see the htc one he handed me now ( insert evil laught)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pmacevad:
This made me lol. :thumbup:

I still have to send my og evo in. Still debating on whether to try to unroot and go back s-on or just flash a stock rom and try to slip it past them. May even flash the stock recovery on there too. I dunno. Just trying to see if someone makes it through without unrooting and gets that cheddah lol.

Sent from my rooted HTC One...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Darkryft:
I've got a Verizon Galaxy Nexus I'm sending in this week, I was already notified it would take 4-6 weeks before I heard anything.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Lauski:
Got the money this weekend. $100. Think I sent it in... oh, 3 days after I got the phone... 4 days maybe ... so about April 23rd if anyone's looking for a reference point. Comes as a Pre-paid visa and you have vendors run it as a credit card, even though it says "debit" on it.

Important note: my tracking info checker from the email still shows my phone as not being received, so don't let that worry any of you checking up on it and wondering.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] SeriesOfTubes:
What do you think HTC does with all these old phones? Mine was an android running gingerbread. The screen was in tact but it was full of dust underneath. I doubt anyone wants it. Do you think they just recycle them?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] oesjmr:
On the HTC Trade-Up site it says that they do recycle phones that cannot be reused. They have a zero landfill policy.

On another note, does the phone necessarily need to be in working order if you pre-registered for the $100 trade-up offer? My one-year-old son got a hold of the Samsung Moment that I was planning on sending in and damaged the battery connector. I've tried several things to get it working again to no avail. I don't remember what was in the fine print.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] buddywiser:
I throw these cards in the trash within 5 minutes of receiving them. By going straight to Amazon and buying a gift card delivered via email. Then entering the code in to redeem.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Lauski:
I recall reading that it would be tested. I had an occasional button issue on mine I made sure to replace before sending it in just to be safe.

But if you had another phone, I wouldn't just send that since it won't match. See if you can go through the procedure again, or re-use your initial registration code to resubmit which device you're sending in, and send in something that's working if you can. Otherwise, you're definitely taking a chance and it's leaning towards no rebate.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
Yes, it is one of the questions they ask you. My Borther-in-Law wanted to use his old EVO4G but the screen was broken and they would not take it for the $100.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
[MENTION=2895451]Lauski[/MENTION] was your trade in phone completely stock or unlocked and rooted?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Lauski:
I made sure to send it in completely stock. After wiping for my privacy, I reinstalled what would be the original OOBE (out of box experience) when the phone first came out.

Didn't read I had to anywhere, just figured it would be best.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
Thanks. I didn't see anything about it either. I just wiped and flashed a rooted stock Rom and left it s-off and custom recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] oesjmr:
That's what I was afraid of. A quick check on Craigslist shows many older phones like the Moment going for $30 and the Intercept for $20, so I might just pick one of those up and get $70-$80 back instead. I haven't filled out the form to trade-up yet, so I should be good to send in any smartphone I can get a hold of before Sunday when the deal is up.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hirent:
What do you guys mean by 'Corporate Store'?

Is it possible to conduct the trade-in in a Sprint store?

I was under the impression that we have to mail this in.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] josh030181:
Got my $100 card today, sent in my og evo 4g rooted with custom rom just did a factory reset.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
Awesome, keep waiting for mine. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Roman G:
I just got mine from my 20 dollar Craigslist BlackBerry. I bought it just to send it in, I did not sign any of my paperwork either.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pmacevad:
Going to try to s-on my Evo 4g and flash stock rom. Then send it in the mail Tuesday. Never unrooted before. Want the experience. :)

Sent from my rooted HTC One...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cfendrick:
I purchased my HTC one on 5/18 and will send an old phone in after just registering this weekend. I believe they extended the $100 offer until 5/19 so I just made the cut off.

I'm hoping things run flawlessly and I see a rebate in 30 days. Flashed a cricket rom and selected cricket as the carrier. *228 programs to cricket and the prl is cricket. Should hopefully be a slam dunk as cricket pretty much activates anything and the phone has zero issues.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
I got my one on April 19th, sent in my old evo 3d with s-off, 4ext recovery, and a rooted stock Rom on Tuesday April 23rd. Got my $100 visa card on Friday May 24th. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] limpet:
Sent inquiry via form at:

http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/?q=contactus

and got a reply after several days.

>Your trade has been received and you should expect

>your prepaid VISA card within three weeks.

My Check Status page still shows "We are currently waiting

for the arrival of your recycled product."

This is for an old, working Motorola Q mailed 26th April.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] riceatusc:
I input my new phones info, but it wouldn't let me print shipping info or any paper work. And it won't let me into the site and support doesn't seem to want to help me. So it looks like I'll be missing out on this even thought I signed up when it first came out
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] limpet:
Arrived today. Took about 6 weeks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 94tbird:
Got mine today as well. No update on the website, still says they are waiting for my phone. Took exactly 30 days start to finish
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jauls:
Got mine today after 5 weeks. Sent in a evo4g with a SOS Rom. Just did a hard reset.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] reynoldsrobbie:
Got mine today. Sent in on 4/30 OG Evo rooted with custom Rom.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] KiamatDusk:
Just got my email notification that my rebate is on it's way. :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
Got one of mine yesterday. I received both cards a few weeks ago. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Danzoman:
I'm going on six weeks out and finally got an email saying it's on the way.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] copekyle:
Can anyone give me some advice here. I got an email from HTC that said my rebate is on it's way... but then I get an email from thewirelesssource.4myrebate.com a few days later saying that I need to fill out another rebate form and send in my proof of purchase (again). The problem is that they deadline to send in this information was on the day they sent the email... and they sent it at 4 pm.... Did I just get scammed out of my old phone?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] HenBoward:
Did you send your device to HTC through the trade up program?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] copekyle:
Yes... I sent it through HTC trade up. (the 100promo). I sent them my UPC, my receipt and my phone. The status on their site changed to complete and showed that my actual worth was $100 dollars. I got an email that said your card is on it's way. Then I get an email from "thewirelesssource@4myrebate.com" saying that the online portion of my claim is complete and that I need to sign the rebate form and send in my UPC and receipt to them with in 30 days of purchase.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
Not familiar with them. The HTC trade up program is administered by Clover Wireless.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] copekyle:
and from what I can tell, The Wireless Source is a subsidiary of Clover Wireless.... The real question is, why am I starting the rebate process over and has anyone else received an email like I've been describing?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] shawnlan:
I got an email from the wireless source too. Just called HTC. They told me don't worry about it. My refund should be shipped within this week.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sslbaron:
I received the email that my refund is on its way about 3 weeks ago, but I have yet to see it in my mailbox. I hope it comes soon. :o
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cfendrick:
I received my email on June 27th that my rebate was on the way. Today July 22nd it finally arrived in the mail.

Slow getting here, but no complaints as the rebate did come through.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggs0817:
i sent in my s-off rooted with stock rom evo 3d & they got it may 27th & I'm still waiting for a response!!! :rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slmclarengt:
Good to know that they simply take a long time actually dispatching the rebate. I was just checking mine today after being told it was "on the way." Surely I can't be the only one sorely disappointed by the HTC Tradeup system. It's just terrible, unable to ever seem to find my rebate status. At one point I could enter any one of my unique keys into the estimate field and it would automatically redirect to the tracking info. Now even with my tracking number in the right field, it fails to return anything.
[Defy General] viniimuniz:
I flashed a CM7.1.0 official in my Motorola Defy and now when I put the battery on the phone, the statusbar shows a "?" on the place of the battery. I've already tried the MacGyver solution and tried to charge the battery with a external charger but still doesn't work. When a use the phone it stays awake for 1 hour and then it turn off. When I charge 100% with the external charger, the phone shows 50% of battery. What I should do???

Sorry for the bad english, I'm brazillian.

[Defy General] Kay Bee:
Would that ROM also help a screwed up green lens (defy+ BL7 rom flashed on it) that simply won't run off a battery? Any battery?

The thing boots OK, but reboots when the PIN input is requested. But I can enter recovery and stay there as long as I like, it won't reboot.

And it runs fine when on charger or USB - like a normal Defy. Unplug -> instant reboot.

Also, battery is not charged but is "recognized" - displays the charge remaining.
[Defy General] Kay Bee:
Instead of waiting for an answer I gave it a try. Answer is: no :(
[Defy General] jalal-jap:
I flash DFP231 ( BL7) on Defy Green Lens , Camera and Battery dosent Work.

Just in Cm10 (2nd boot) roms Camera Work.

If u Dosent Flash BL7 SBF , u can Fix u battery problem.

1-flash Froyo Kernel

or

2-Flash Froyo Full SBF

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php

or

3-Flash BL6 Froyo Full SBF

sorry For my english mate.
[Defy General] Kay Bee:
No problem - I understand you :)

Problem is that BL7 was indeed flashed previously.

But this si the first time that I saw a battery problem this big.

I mean it's not the ususal 50-80% charge - it doesn't run off the battery, only off the charger.

No matter what battery I put in.

I guess the mainboard is a goner.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Garou-69:
Hello,

I create new boot screens with nb_image_converter and change my boot screens with the tool XDA2_Bootimage_Changer.

It works fine !

I do a hard reset (because of an bad application), and the customize boot screens are always present...

How is it possible to keep files after an hard reset...??? I don't understand. Can somebody explain to me ?

Thanks,

Garou

Happy of is QTek2020 and searching information of GPS module
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Rudegar:
well a hardreset puts the device back in the default settings deffined by the rom you can have stuff reinstalled after an hardreset by putting it in the extented rom
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Garou-69:
The strange thing it's not in rom !!

Hello,

Sorry for my english, you don't understand me...

the files is in my windows folder, not in rom file (and not in extended rom).

When i do a hard reset the boot screens that i do stay, the default screens don't come back...

i find that strange...

If we put files in \windows and har reset XDAII, these files must desapear....

Any explication ?

thanks, garou

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] F-bone:
At this point I think this question does indeed belong to the developers section. It would be pretty cool to be able to convert Demo Units to normal phones. I have a lot of friends who own mobile phone shops and would like to make this conversion. Besides it is a shame to have a half-working S4 and not be able to make it work!

Hope that developers can solve this in the future and I would be happy to donate as there is a chance to get my hands on a demo unit, too.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] joaopaulo7:
But if we use that trick (for running live demo video for one minute only) the things we store on the phone will still be deleted? Cheers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] brajko:
Yes, it will. It will even go as far as deleting you r SD card if you insert it.

The wipe in recovery mode won't do the trick either if you have the LDU. The retail mode DCT and retaimedia.zip are integrated in the software and when it reinstalls the apps it will reinstall the RM. Flashing a I9505 firmware on I9505X doesn't work either, it messes up the wifi radio and other things.
