[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minnkwonn:
I have a Galaxy Note II with a striaghttalk SIM in it, and i was just browsing the web, put it back in my pocket, and when i tried to turn it on, it wouldnt turn on.

I tried replacing the battery, doing a hard reset, charging it, connecting it to a computer, but it wont even show the start up screen.

I bought this seven months ago from Newegg, but I rooted it so I probably dont have the warranty. Does anyone know how long/much it would take to fix this? Also, has anyone had similar problems?

Thanks in advance

[General Accessories] j814wong:
I have a Sandisk 64Gb MicroSDHC card. I've been using it for sometime on Android and. I've used Android to format it but never to partition it. I've also used Android to wipe data on the card. I've formatted it varous times again on Ubuntu.

The card was working fine but today, I decided to format and clear all the data on it. Much to my dismay, after when plugging in the card and formatting it, Windows read it to have only 27.8 GB space even though it was empty. Ubuntu also showed 27.48 GB only.

I've not much problems with the card on Android and Ubuntu but today, this serious problem occured. Just how does a 64GB card reduce to 27.48GB? I've formatted the card to FAT32 and EXT4 multiple times to no avail with GParted.

Previously, some time ago, I've formatted the card to FAT32 and because the computer, I forgot if it was Windows or Ubuntu and because the computer read it as having 30GB space, named the card 32GB Volume or something like that (The name has long since changed to one of my choosing). However, Ubuntu still read the card as having 64GB of space and filling it up with more than 30GB worked just fine.

What happened? How do I resolve this? I need the card to work on both Ubuntu and Android.

This is my card. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005V7WIA2 Based on reviews alone, it seems to be very good quality. I've used the card on Ubuntu, and Motorola Defy (Android), and the Motorola Xoom (Also Android). Both Android and Ubuntu have worked with the card just fine except for one thing Occasionally, when copying files to or from the card, I get an error message. Sorry but I don't recall what the message said.

Also, sorry for this mess of a post. I'll try to reword it once I have the time or overcome my exaggerated grief for this unexpected tragedy.
[General Accessories] alfavictor:
Use h2testw and check if it might be fake (i.e. actually 32 GB, but re-programmed and re-labeled to say 64 GB).

I got delivery of a new 32 GB thumb drive an hour back and am running the test as I type this. Makes sense to test out all new flash memory purchases as soon as you get them. Lots of fakes going around.

If at all yours turns out to be fake, then you're lucky you got a 32 GB, and not a 2 GB! Hope yours is not such a case!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steste01:
My nexus 4 has started to develop some issues. The most annoying one is the frequent failure of the camera to record video. I press red record button which registers the touch but no recording starts. It will work for a while after a reboot but always happens again.

When i try to use an alternative camera app to record video i get a message saying "oops video recording is not currently working on your device" so its not just the camera app playing up.

Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it. Running stock and unrooted.

Edit: so playing about with this a bit more and ive discovered it only happens after i try to watch a video from the gallery. So i boot up my phone, record a video and its works ok. I can record videos fine. However if i go into the gallery and try to watch one of the videos playback fails. If i then go back to the camera and try and record a new video i get the issue as described above. BUT if i do the same thing but view the video outside of gallery (i used mx player) the video plays fine and the camera recording continues to work.

So it seems its an issue with gallery playback of the video. I have forced stopped the gallery, cleared data and cache but that didn't help.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] tobixdev:
Hi.

If someone have improvement advices for this thread PM me.

This won't work for sense ir smth similar.

I'm not responsible for bricked(or smth similar) devices cause of ROMS ported by this method.

I don't know if this works for non-aosp/cm based ROMS. You may need to do some more things to get it working.

Try to use the same android version for both ROMS For 4.2.2 use Cm For 4.1.2 use Stock ROM.

You won't have a compatible source code. This means you can't update the ROM through syncing and recompiling. But you won't need a Linux distro fot this Method.

Actually its very easy.

firstly follow this tutorial: http://www.fesilo.com/forum/android/guides/113-guide-guide-to-port-roms-fast-and-easy to get a booting ROM :)

then download this Tool -> http://www.virtuous-ten-studio.com/ it makes de/re-compiling very easy.

now you just have to fix those anoying bugs :P

to fix Phone.apk FC.

Be sure to put in the submenu smali API level to Android 4.2.2(in VTS) and tick use smali debug output and in the submenu build tick use old signature

Decompile telephony-common.jar from both ROMS.

Copy the X3RIL.smali found in /com/android/internal/telephony from the .jar of your base ROM (cm 10.1,stock rom) to the .jar of the ROM you're trying to port.

Recompile and replace the one within your old one from HOX ROM.

Decompile framework-res.apk from both ROMS.

open /res/values/arrays.xml

press Control+f to use the search function.

enter auto

copy the arrays config_autoBrightnessLevels,config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues,config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues,config_autoBrightnessKeyboardBacklightValues to the .xml off your ROM and overwrite the old ones.

then copy and overwrite power_profile.xml and storage_list from your base ROM to the ROM your trying to port.

Recompile and replace the one within your old one from HOX ROM.

actually this was the magic.

I hope I forgot nothing. Please Excuse me If I did. It's half past 23 here and I had a very exhausting Weekend;).

I will update this thread in a few days to make it more userfriendly :)

You can PM me if you have Questions.

Very Interesting and useful..

Infact i find some guide simple to try...

Good Job!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SnXo:
Very nice Tobi good job :thumbsup:

Hopefully that gives power to the people for making some good Roms and Programms for us. It isn't that difficult to do ;) just a little bit reading and then learning by doing.

Best regards SnXo

Notice that will work with every rom. The easy way is snap from HOX but you can choose Roms from others too... To keep it iesy you should have the same resolution and Androidversion nothing more... That's it!

Maybe a admin can make this as sticky that would be nice ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HowDoIVoIP:
I like that idea because I take a LOT of ****ing notes on my computer. To open them up and edit them on my phone is a really difficult process right now.

1. Open Dropbox using a 4-digit pass

2. Go into /txt/ and open the .txt file.

3. Figure out what buttlog of an app is going to handle the editing of the file (whether it's DB Text Editor, ES Note Editor, SE TextEditor, or Polaris Office -- all of which suck for one reason or another)

4. Scroll endlessly to try to find which part I'm editing and then edit and save it.

I wouldn't mind that process if

-the notes were able to be saved and synced in my Dropbox folder

-were all able to be secure/encrypted

At any given point I have about 15 tabs open on Notepad++ on my computer all with sensitive data. Maybe you have an easy solution for me without making a 20MB~ Truecrypt file I'd have to send/receive each time I want to edit my notes on my device.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] anyadike:
A bluetooth headset & an S-Pen are great for jotting down notes or important info when someone is on-call.

One trick I have started doing is when I'm done the note, I will do a screen-save before saving it. This does two things - the note is now saved in a format that can be easily emailed or MMS'd to someone, and it puts the screen-shot notification on your phone to remind you to take-care of the important message...

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

For me, I love how the S-Pen makes it practical to access the fully-equipped 'Desktop version' website, and not the neutered "Mobile version" website. It allows you to accurately click on links of all sizes, and you can actually access the "Mouse-Over" menus and functions as it was meant to be done.

Also, when using the S-Pen, experiment with pressing the button with your thumb or index finger. These are the two most common ways to hold the pen, and you'll probably find one much more convenient than the other, but it seems to be personal preference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] FarReach:
Whenever I try drawing or taking notes in order for it to be comfortable for me I rest my hand on the screen and that messes everything up. I still trying to get used to that, but I do use the stylus to swipe. Makes it easier to text and write emails.

I also found out to hold the button on stylus and trace around pictures to make collages and stuff. Or I'll trace and paste random letters and send my family and friends "ransom" style messages as a joke.

Can't wait to see what I find out next about this phone :thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stondec100:
I find the most intuitive features of the Note II is really the S Pen and S Note. I use mine for pretty much everything on the phone.

I take a lot of Notes and this would have been pretty much impossible without the S Pen. I also hate swiping my fingers on the phone as it hurts. The S Note really helps here. I can't imagine using another device without the S Pen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SithDagger:
Several drawing programs such as layerpaint, sketchbook mobile, sketchbook pro, cloverpaint, and others have a pen only mode that has palm rejection for drawing, but you can still use the fingers to navigate and move the canvas.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Some_dude36:
The most use I get out of the Spen is jotting quick notes ,addresses and phone numbers pertaining my small business I operate . Also signdoc mobile has allowed me several times now to sign commerce grade signatures and email them where if I hadn't had the Spen I would've psychically had to drive to the location harboring said document to sign it irl . So that's been super helpful and handy . Thirdly I just enjoy drawing stuff sometimes. Here is a quick portrait I drew of a friend. It actually kinda looks like her too. I wish I had at the time known how to draw on whitepage but I didn't know how . Either way this is she :)
