[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
Hopefully this is where I should have posted it......

Hello,

Seen this being brought up a lot but i have the galaxy note which was on ICS standard before, I then did the update to JB through Kies or via the software update button and after a while realised it was slow and that everyone was having the same problem. I then found everyone said to do a clean install and a hard reset and just start fresh which I have done. After a couple of weeks now its is still running slow and laggy and just painfully annoying, can be there for a bout 5 seconds sometimes longer waiting for apps or things to open.

Any ideas on what I can do?

And like I said its all standard haven't put a custom rom or anything on there as I don't know how to do any of it but is it worth learning how to do it and doing it?

Thanks

want to try custom roms? Check allmost all of them here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28517899

also the steps are mentioned on 1st post of all the roms. Be on safe kernel before formatting or flashing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxPixX:
Yup, your experience pretty much sums up the JB update for the note - c**p. However there are a few things you can do, first install a ROM with an XXLT4 base or higher, after that then uninstall as many apps as possible that you won't use and that you can live without. It will be a bit better but still, not as fast and smooth as ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varad297:
Revert back to ICS! Flash the ics stock via ODIN. Download from sammobile.com
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
I think I would like to yes but every time I have tried I cant do it and get confused lol.

As I said my phone is completely standard not been flashed or anything so would need a whole step by step guide to do it on and would then need the ROM or OS whatever its called to install. I have a galaxy ace to test it on. I think the thing that was scaring me was that my phone is still under warranty so wouldn't want to ruin that but then I might try it anyway??

Cheers

Yeh its really weird why its so bad like I said I love the update on my S2. Hmm where can I get access to that? but yeh don't want to go back to ICS as I like JB just a bit of a pain. Thanks

Ahh na I like JB the layout etc so wouldn't really want to but its just a pain :(

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varad297:
There is a detailed guide provided on how to root in the forum and it's very safe. I rooted the phone the next day i bought it! Don't worry u can try it, the methods prescribed here are very safe, just follow the instructions to the letter. And custom ROMs will give u a much different experience altogether!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
ahh nice well ill have a look and see if I can do it should be good. Is there anything newer than the version Samsung have provided do you know?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varad297:
Yes totally, if you have a look at the touchwiz based ROMs you have the inherent samsung features with new customisations. Some other custom ROMs like CM based give you a native Android experience. Try them out!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
Ohh right yeh I would like to give them a go would be good, do you have a link to the ROMs at all please?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
Ok so I have got a link to some custom roms which treacherous_hawk has given me but couldn't find a step by step guide on how to first flash my phone and get it started?

Need a step by step guide for dummies on this as like I said never done it before haha, im a computer engineer as my day job but just cant work these out :(

Im a bit consumed, so what is the very first thing I need to do is it flash my device or ROM it? If im right the ROM is the operating System isn't it?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varad297:
Follow this...

Firstly root your phone. The guide for rooting is there in dr.Ketan's thread. I'd have posted the link but I'm currently on my mobile device and it's tedious. Just look in the Android development forum and the thread for how to root will be right there. Next after you root and flash a CWM recovery (you'll find the kernel with such a recovery by Phil and it'll be there in the same forum that teaches you to root). After this, you can flash a ROM (yes it's similar to operating system!). Try ROMs like the PAC which are feature packed and stable. Please follow all the instructions to the letter. And do not forget to hit the thanks button ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calversbuyuk:
ah lovely ok im going to look for this thread and see if I can find it. Like I said I have a galaxy ace I might try it on first to see if it goes well and then I can work on my note to see what happens. Once I finally manage to root my phone I will then try a ROM and see how I go, if I have any questions ill post them on here and see if you can help :) :fingers-crossed:

thanks, have hit that button too! :)

[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
So I waited patiently for the camera to come out... and I do love it. I do not use a camera very often, but when I do... it seems to have considerable lag.... which is pretty odd for the specs...

So my question is, is it worthwhile to flash this device? Be it a more recent version of android, custom roms etc? Like phones, will it make the camera a better experience?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenY2K3:
When I flashed the latest firmware it made things a lot better than when I got it out the box, there is some lag from time to time, but no where near as much as before.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SausPud:
Just got mine last week. Got the ek-gc110 (wifi only) version. No lag on mine at all. Got latest version of software on it.

Also in case it helps. Put a 32GB Class 10 Micro Sd card in it and set it to save to card NOT camera.

Make sure class 10 card or you could get lag as data takes longer to write to card.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davelis828:
Hi fellass. I will be sending my Nexy to LG to repair the earpiece (constant buzzing).

They said it takes 10 days for the whole process. Hope they fix it or send me a new phone.

Anyone has any experience with LG's repair policy?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphantomx:
May I ask how loud is the buzzing? I just got a nexus and I can hear the buzzing sound only when I get too close to the earpiece
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davelis828:
The room has to be quiet + phone next to ear. It is obvious when making Viber calls or Skype sometimes.

Starting to doubt my decision to send it since so many have it (using repaired/replaced phones).

Other than that the phone is fine (301K here).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Headcase_Fargone:
I'd be curious to hear some RMA experiences as well. It's looking more and more like my battery or USB port is busted so I'll probably be sending it soon. I'm wondering how long I'll be phoneless.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icecicle:
im interested into why you aren't just going to google for a RMA on the buzzing noise? I sent mine to LG to get fixed because the screen had cracked it took them about two weeks to recieve/fix/and send my phone back. and on the sheet they sent with my phone they said they sent me a replacement phone but when i called a lady about it because the new screen they put on it had a yellow blob in the middle she insisted that they just fixed mine (which makes no sense because the bezzle has new dents and not the ones my original nexus had) and want me to send it back into them so they can fix it again. . i don't got time like that tho i would legitly fail my summester classes without the calendar on my nexus
[Motorola Droid 4] 41.:
I'm considering buying this phone, mainly for the Webtop functionality and the physical keyboard (I own an atrix). Problem is, webtop goes away with ICS/JB, and GSM doesn't seem to work on GB. Droid 4 also uses Maverick as a base, which is better than Jaunty.

My country has no LTE, btw.

Is dual booting ICS and GB a possibility? Did someone get the radios working on GB (all I read points to this not being the case)? Should I give up and look for some other phone?

I also considered giving ICS a try and downgrading to GB when Webtop functionality is need, but everything I read points that is a big no-no. Is there a way to downgrade without getting a brick?
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
The closest you're going to get is a separate install of Ubuntu on the phone

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1516778

Not sure of the current status of that project.

BTW if you own an Atrix lapdock, you'll need to modify it to flip the HDMI and USB ports before you can use it with the Droid 4.
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
Is there something specific about the old version of WebTop that you want? I've only ever used v3.0 on ICS and JB with my LapDock, and it works just fine for me.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
The old webtop booted into a fully fledge copy of Ubuntu Linux, allowing you access to all the desktop linux apps, providing an Arm binary is available or you compile it yourself.

Combined with a lapdock, especially the older non-touch lapdocks, this gives a completely different experience, more like owning an actual laptop or netbook, rather than just Android tablet mode which is kind of rubbish without a touchscreen.
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
With you - I guess if that's what you were expecting, or used to, then I guess the WebTop 3.0 experience is disappointing.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ibanez89:
A big hello to all, since yesterday I own a nexus 4 and I wanted to thank you all for introducing me to the way of modding of Android (the main reason for choosing a nexus).

I hope that this phone, thanks to all of you, can live forever :good:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
no gadget, computer-like-thing and stuff like that can life forever

even if it doesn't break, there is this little thing called "Moore's law" , so eventually a new device will come out really soon running newer software that older hardware can't run

in the end, how are manufacturers gonna make money if they sell us one device for a life? :)

it's just that the nexus series gets better development , so your phone will keep up a little longer than usual

anyway, have fun with it :D
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] poggle:
Not sure if this belongs here but it happens on my GT-I9305 rooted with stock ROM.

Baseband version: I9305ZHALI2

Build number: JRO03C.I9305ZHBLJ1

I have 2 privacy issues which concern me:

1. I have deleted my photos but all the thumbnails remain in sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails

It concerns me the thumbnails in this folder date back to the very first photo I ever took even though I regularly move them to my computer in case I lose my phone. Is this normal or should all traces of a photo be removed once it's been deleted?

2. All my calls are logged in S Planner and I can't figure out how to turn this function off. They include every call I make and receive as well as any SMS's coming in or out. Does anyone know if it's possible to turn this off because I can't find anything in the settings?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] krs360:
You should be posting in the i9305 Q&A section!

1) Just delete the thumbnails folder.. it will rebuild with only the images you still have on your phone the next time you open the gallery!

2) No idea how you managed to get it to do that.. mine doesn't and I can't find any option for it. Sorry.

I have been trying to do something like this for along time.

Now i changed the images on the contactimage zip file. this is the only thing i did.

Then i re zipped the file. i tried installing and it never worked?

Now is there something i have to do?

Do i have to sign the file or something please help.

I have even tryed doing this with the push method still got nothing.

i took the apks that i needed and changed what i had to and then re zipped the file and changed it back to a apk file.Still got nothing please help?

??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biglil1:
On ur desktop place the zip file on it then extract it there. Open the extracted file. Compare ur images to those in this file to a sure the fact that they are of the same name and size if not make the proper adjustments. Assuming u have 7zip (if not googke it). Open the unextracted zip file useing 7zip. (Right click on the file choose open archive). Navagate to the images that u want to replace then after compairing them with urs (again making sure the are of the same name and size) drag n drop ur images in the window opened by 7zip. Do this for all three apks in the original zip file then flash in recovery should be good.

Hope u can follow this I typed it in a hurry (on break at work).

Thanks helped out a lot. I appreciate it!

I didn't understand at first but I had to read it in work/hurry mode. Lol

I was just unzipping the files changing the files then rezipping, but I set the files to exactly like the old one such as the name, pixels and made sure they were png files. Which I'm guessing you really can't do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
U zipped a apk..

Not sure if rezipping and the renaming is safe..

Anyway with winrar or 7 zip open the apk to view drag and drop your images where they belong.. It will over write them.. Or you can highlight and poke delete on your keyboard to remove..

No need to unpack it..

Use the same method to replace images with in a flashable zip.
