Hi.

I did my first kernel for note 2, everything is correct. I wanted to make my kernel compatible with Stweaks but didn't work out.

I did everything in the ramdisk but are missing some files. I guess that I have to modify some files .c or .h.

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] DerTeufel1980:
You only need to modify the ramdisk. What did you change? And what error are you getting?

Hey guys!

I need to repair my phone so I need to make it to "appear" as COM port but I can't do that. No matter what I do it is just modem/portable device and that's it

Tried many drivers, have KIES on my pc.

Also all those shortcodes which enables hidden menu doesn't work - I have EU model, not US. I would be really glad if you could help me!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
1) please clarify exactly what you are trying to do. Why are you needing it to appear connected to COM port? Post any links you can

2) "Please help" is not a good thread title. This will not target people who may actually know the answer. If you need help making your device appear though it's connected through COM port, then make that your title.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanJonson:
Thank you for your replay! After flashing my phone my imei got messed so I want to restore it. Found few good threads here, but I need my phone to appear as com port.

IMEI is in the EFS folder. What did you flash on your phone? Were you rooted? Which recovery? What backups did you have?

I flashed a ROM my friend gave me, he used it too and all was good. I am newbie at this and I don't have any back up :(

I would forget about this com port business. You do not have a qualcomm phone.

I would recommend changing this thread to a question "how can I restore my imei without backup?"

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
it's probably possible, but you are not likely to get help on xda because changing the imei (basically what you want to do) is illegal. I understand that your intentions are perfectly fine, but it can be used in other ways.

Anyway, you can try and wait for someone to help you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanJonson:
Hi,

I know that chaning IMEI is illegal and pretty hard to do, but restoring IMEI is legal and allowed on XDA :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riso123:
Not sure, but with the i9000 simply flashing a stock ROM was all you needed to do...

the technique for restoring imei w/o a backup is the same as for changing it, that's why it might be a problem

Had to share this one:

Boosted by One, HTC grows its sales by 26% in April. Up 71% since February, with more growth ahead

HTC bet big on its new smartphone called the HTC One. In fact, HTC was so confident in its new smartphone that it promised a turnaround for Q2 of 2013 once the device gained traction.

Early indications and that HTC is in fact gaining traction thanks to the popularity of its One smartphone. HTC recently reported that revenue for April 2013 was up by 23% unaudited compared to March. The numbers HTC is throwing around for April 2013 are $664 million in revenue.

Sources: Slashgear & Unwired
[One (M7) General] BarryH_GEG:
April of this year was down 37% from last year. January through April of this year is down the same 37% from last year which means April didn't improve the four-month average. Looking ahead, Q2 last year HTC generated $3B USD in revenue. With full production of the One they are projecting Q2 this year at $2.3B USD which is 23% below last year. And Q2 2012 was 57% below Q2 2011. So if they make Q2's numbers (which they have provided) they'll be 30% below last year by mid-year 2013. And while April 2013 was 26% better than March 2013, March 2013 was a 48% drop from March 2012 making this year's rosy month-over-month comparative rather misleading. March this year was dismal because of parts shortages so one would expect April to be an improvement. So far, with the One, HTC’s projecting to be down 30% in revenue by mid-year 2013 as compared to last year. The One won’t be “new” anymore by July when the second half of the year starts and new phones from Apple, Motorola, and LG will be out as well as the Note 3 being expected in Q3. With all the effort HTC’s put in to the One if they can’t even match last year’s revenue numbers that’s going to be viewed pretty negatively by analysts and investors. If something as dramatic as the One can’t reverse HTC’s decline, what will?

HTC on Monday reported its revenue performance for the month of April, which continued the company’s downward trend as it struggles against rivals Samsung and Apple. HTC’s sales totaled NT$19.6 billion in April 2013, or roughly $645 million, and cumulative sales for the first four months of 2013 have now reached NT$62.4 billion. April’s performance was down 37% from April 2012, when HTC reported sales totaling NT$31 billion. HTC also saw cumulative revenue reach NT$99 billion by the end of April last year. While the company’s April 2012 sales continued a downward trend that has some industry watchers questioning whether or not HTC should begin hunting for a new CEO, there is one positive sign: As the HTC One began to roll out around the world in April, HTC’s revenue was up 26% over March.​

[One (M7) General] NxNW:
O/T, but the yahoo article you linked to had a link back to BGR showing leaked pictures of google's so-called "X phone".

http://bgr.com/2013/05/03/x-phone-photos-specs-leak/

HTC may be shrinking, but their phones look somewhat novel.

If those pictures are real, the X phone is the most boring uninspired uncreative design possible. It's like someone said let's make it look like the average appearance of a high end 2011 smartphone. It better have a 64-core processor with terabytes of RAM because people won't be buying it for its looks..

Then again google will probably be around in five years to try again. HTC, not so sure. Let's hope they find a niche ("android phones with up-to-date specs and a higher-quality look and feel than Samsung" ) and fill it profitably, even if they have to shrink a little to do it.
[One (M7) General] aydc:
As most news of HTC's demise are exaggarated, this sort of stuff is exaggarated too. They have been making so little money lately, any increase is going to seem big.
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
Increase is an increase is an increase which is positive

Is better than going down which they were. Period
[One (M7) General] BarryH_GEG:
They generated 37% less revenue this April than last April. How is that an increase or positive? For HTC to prove their viability they need to stop the declines (revenue, profit, margin, market share) that they've been experiencing every quarter since 2010. Even if they hit their Q2 numbers they will still be 30% off of last year which is yet another in a series of YOY declines. Not only that, smartphones as a percentage of handsets sold has increased which means that even selling the same number of devices as last year is actually a decline because the size of the market (and HTC's competitors sales) have actually grown.

They've lost market share in every market except the U.S. where they achieved a 0.7% gain. And that gain was on the back of the DNA which was the first 1080P smartphone in the world being sold on America's largest wireless carrier with no new phones on the market that it was competing against. Verizon (the largest carrier in the U.S.) isn't selling the One. Samsung's set up "experience" stores within the largest electronics retailer in the U.S. to push the SGS4 which is available on seven U.S. carriers while the One's available on three. So with the rest of the world slipping in market share any chance of gains in the U.S. are pretty hard to imagine based on the limited distribution of the One and Samsung's bigger reach and marketing budget. HTC has said its future rides on two things: 1) the success of the One, and 2) penetrating China. Both (based on numbers released by HTC) are underperforming expectations. So in spite of the One HTC will be down YOY in 2013 in revenue, profit, margin, and market share. What does it mean? Who knows. HTC's been performing the same way (consistent declines in all metrics) since 2010 and they're still here.

Taiwan's HTC Corp. maintained a 3.1 percent share of the global smartphone market in the first quarter, as its share gains in North America were offset by losses in other regions, according to U.S. brokerage Morgan Stanley. The brokerage firm said HTC's market share rose slightly to 4.2 percent in the quarter in North America from 3.5 percent in the fourth quarter of last year, thanks to the launch of the 5-inch HTC Droid DNA phone, which went on sale in November through U.S. carrier Verizon Wireless. But the company was not able to drive up its global market share, given ongoing share losses in the European, the Middle East and African (EMEA) markets and slow progress in the Asia-Pacific region -- especially in China, Morgan Stanley said in a report dated May 3. The report detailed how HTC's market share in the EMEA markets fell to 3.7 percent from 4.2 percent in the fourth quarter, with market share in the Asia-Pacific region shrinking to 2.7 percent from 3 percent.​

Hey man,

Did you manage to sort this. I am sort off ordered this phone. Does this support 3g mobile data? I am in the UK. How is this phone for general use?
[General Questions and Answers] lallolu:
I know it's too late now to advise you. Are you enjoying the phone?

I bought mine mainly because of the camera and screen. I am not disappointed with the screen but cannot say the same about the camera. The camera software is a joke with very loud shutter sound that cannot be turned off.

One other thing that bothers me is the heat. When I am using Internet on 3g,it gets so hot and the phone keeps shutting down or else I shut data off or turn on wifi instead. And the battery life is very unimpressive.

I was using galaxy a3 4g, so I was able to see the difference. I respect Samsung more now.

The Fujitsu is a nice phone anyway except for these niggles.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AxillarHD:
My kindle's usb port is broken so I am getting a new kindle sent by amazon. I was rooted but did a factory reset and since the usb port is broke, there is no way to charge it so I thought I'd let it get to 0% charge and then be good. But I cannot do this because the TWRP screen pops up saying battery low (at 2%) and then shuts off my device. It does this everytime I press the power button. Do you think amazon will ask for their replacement back? Is there anything I can do to get rid of this screen seeing as the usb port is broke?

Thanks so much for any help!

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ursoouindio:
Hi all

I just ordered a Note 2 and, by all the comments on cases around here, I wonder if I should hurry to also get a case.

But the point is: is it really necessary?

- A case makes this big phone even bulkier.

- A case can compromise ports access, external audio quality and the gps/nfc/... receptions

- A good case can cost a lot of money

- I won't find a case around the corner (at least, here in Brazil). I must buy it online, maybe pay for shipping and wait for like a month for it to come to me.

Hey, I don't want to be critical to the ones who feel important to use a case. Just want to start some discussion here ;)

My point of view:

I'm retiring an old Motorola Defy. It has never used any kind of case or screen protector and its condition is quite good. It is always in my pocket (a lot of times sharing the space with a bunch of keys) and it has fallen to the ground some times, from like the pocket height for instance.

I know the Note 2 is a different phone, so thats the point of the question. I've never had another Samsung phone, so I may not have the right idea about the durability of it.

So, I'm looking forward to your thoughts and experiences on using (or not using) protective cases for the Note 2.

I would prefer not to have one, but I would mostly get one if this really happens that Samsung did a fragile phone and it is important to get external protection.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brayden87:
100% need a case. I got my note 2 weeks ago and bought a genuine Samsung case which is skim anyway. Protects the screen and back from scratches. Plus no case makes it slippery and one drop will mean destroyed phone. Good luck mate!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ursoouindio:
Hi Brayden87, thanks for the reply.

I've seen the samsung case on the Note 1. It really is slim.

It actually is so slim I wonder it really does protect the phone. Would you say it can make the difference upon a drop?

This is one I would like to get... probably easier to find too.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] plugsmustard:
For the love of god get a case. I have a cover for that it a back plate with a leather flap that goes over the screen, and a screen protector. My wife has a full case for hers.

After I get a DIY new screen off amazon. Im buying am otter box. (Rogers send broken screens to samsung and costs $280. Or a DIY is only $16)

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ursoouindio:
Hi plugsmustard.

Very interesting experience. It seems that this phone is really more fragile than my Defy. I don't doubt that, it is so much larger and thinner, it looks like it may brake easily. Its just that Samsung should be salling a phone that is fairly resistant to the day-to-day misshapenings...

But these otterbox are very expensive and would have to find a retailer that ships to Brazil. Can I trust Ebay sellers?

Isn't it too bulky?

What are the least requirements for a good protective case?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Zanr Zij:
Note 2 size is big so I do not want case for it. Only a carbon back cover for better handling and protect camera. When bezel is scratched, I replace it for 5$. Perfect way for me :D.

You can purchase knock-off Otterbox cases from eBay, as well as others such as the Griffin Survivor case (fake, but still provides great protection) Casemate Tough and the Urban Armor Gear Note 2 case, etc.

I got the body glove tpu... slim and sexy. Dropped my phone about 4ft high and didn't get any damage. Of course could be just luck. Phone is big and slick without a case. I would get a slim tpu type of case if you are worried about bulk. It gives a little more protection than naked.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] barflybzzz:
For the love of all that is good and holy, get a case. And you don't need to go crazy buying an expensive one or waiting forever for a HK distributor. I own a bunch of cases because I love to swap 'em out, but my go-to case (and one of the least expensive cases I've bought is the Duzign Sentinel from from eBay that I got for $7.00 from a seller named senyx. The auctions are non-stop and I often see them ending at the opening bid of $7.00, like when I got mine. Shipping is free and the seller is in CA, so you get it quickly:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Duzign-Sent...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item20d25bad89

It's been discussed on other threads, but this one has a cool H.R. Giger alien look to it, offers awesome protection, and it has, in my opinion, the best TPU inner layer of any case (it's got a nice thick lip to protect the screen of your Note 2 in case of an unlucky fall). Heck the TPU is a great case by itself, and the outer shell comes with a kickstand for horizontal viewing. the Sentinel is identical to the Cruzer Lite Spi-Force case which sells for about $20. Just don't get the black/white as the white does get dirty pretty quickly. Mine is black on black and besides my UAG and bamboo cases, it easily gets the most compliments.

That is my .02 . . . hope it helps.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
Not that it's particularly delicate, but it is particularly expensive.

If you don't buy a case, I expect the first bit of damage to trigger a new thread "Scratched by $600 phone! Damn!"
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ursoouindio:
Hi everybody.

Thanks for all the opinions. These Duzign Sentinel do seem quite robust and not that bulky. The looks are quite odd (comparing to the original sober looks of the phone) but are not that bad...

That is the kind of price I would pay without feeling that I am paying a lot to have a bulkier phone.

I wont bother much if the bezel gets scratched. My main concern is the screen integrity.

I do have one year warranty (which I do not know if covers external damage :/) and, if something happen, I could always go DIY to try to fix it. The biggest problem would be the phone become useless for weeks :/

I do agree that it is important to feel safer with such expensive phone.

At the other hand, is hard to believe that Samsung, which is leading against Apple in such quality fight, still delivers such a fragile gadget and even dont provide a reasonable protection option as an accessory. That is very awkward.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ursoouindio:
Case-mate Tough seems very nice and is found at US$ 10.99 on Amazon. Too bad it doesn't ship to Brazil.
