Im considering upgrading to the Note II , anyone that has come from the OG to the II , wanna enlighten me why I should make the switch , Im on Straight talk btw !

Because its a much better device.

Why Switch?...Jedixp14+Saber kernel 30.3...UC 120 - OC 1920...GPU OC 800....Speed, Stability, Awesome Battery life. SgH-i317 is compatible with most Tmo Gn2 and n7105 Roms, Kernels and Mods. The 2 is an awesome device but I myself would wait on the GN3 since its so late in the year. But you wouldn't be disappointed if you got faithful GN2

Because you will live a life of anguish and deep regret if you don't...

Because subconsciously you have already purchased a note 2 and love it...

Just because you can...

Yeh....get a new note 2....

Because....:)....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tat2messiah:
Im on straight talk also and i to went from note og to note 2 best choice i made way better device and the quadcore makes a lot of difference...i say make the switch
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] inconceeeivable:
I say wait for the Note 3 or get something else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
because its like going from a Yugo to a Lamborghinni..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Vintage144:
well I do like the Note , so the inevitable is to go to the note 2 , once I got that big beautiful screen , theres no going back below 5 inches period !

Right now Im just trying to find the best deal so it might be a few days ,But the Note 2 is coming my way ,now with that said , what is the battery life compared to the Note? Is is a little slimmer as well? Ive never been to an att or tmobile store (recently) So I havent seen one to really tell the differnce , but the Note does have some limitations (todays technolgy being the main one)! I cant afford the Note 3 when it comes out and I dont do contracts anymore , I dont like paying 4000 for a fone!I bought my OG Note for $150 on ebay and its flawless
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jon3sh:
Battery life of Note ll is way better than Note. I am running my Note ll all day with LTE on plus wifi on /off and got 1 day 6hrs with 10 hrs of screen time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Vintage144:
well I bought the Note 2 , should be here in a few days !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] beirutas:
I did the same few days ago!

It's pretty crazy how much Note 2 improved over Note 1.

Very happy with my purchase even though note3 is coming out in some months.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
I owned the original note and found it laggy as hell..

It is night and day difference with the note 2. This is easily the best phone I've ever owned by far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] beirutas:
I still use Note1 from time to time and flash every single room possible and it's just doesn't come sligthly close to the Note2 speeds.

I really don't believe there will be such a huge gap between Note 2 and Note 3 though as it was with Note 1. But we will see.

And I totally agree, it's the best phone I ever owned. It's slightly slimmer so fits way better in the hand, touchpen works so much better than note1 as well. Battery easily lasts me through the day with plenty of battery still left.

Love it. No complaints at all.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choccy31:
Hi guys

Getting the S4 in a week (maybe 2) and wondered what I should do first before I transfer data over etc.

I want to root my phone so that would be my first objective. What is the best way?

Re the bloatware, is it easily removed as yet and what is worth keeping and not keeping.

For now I would like to keep the rom as it comes (if possible) until such time I choose to change it.

Thanks for your help and advice!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lzk123:
I'll suggest you do a full system backup. Just in case you encounter some problem during rooting, you can always restore back to the backup.

- First of all, enter download mode and flash custom recovery using Odin. I recommend using Philz Touch Recovery.

- Make sure flash is success.

- Boot into custom recovery and do a nandroid backup.

How do you do full system backup?? Did you mean full system image? So If i F#ck up something I could restore it completely?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

It is called a "Nandroid"

In a custom recovery,you will find it in the "Backup/Restore" section.

- connect to pc and check for software updates with kies

- if it finds any updates do update

- factory reset with format usb storage

- insert sim card (and sd card)

- done

Root and backup your EFS file first.:cyclops:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pv_insight:
1)You can root but dont flash custom rom. There is no way to recover/ no stock rom that is 100% failproof. There is an update to mf3 so you need to update and then use the "new root method for att mf3".

2) exchanging files is going to be different. Wheen you plug in the phone, no usb data switcher on 4.2.2. Use samsung link

3) buy an otg cable

4)buy an otterbox

5) fill the phone with apps from 4shared

6) recommend playing with sensor apps because there are many sensors on this thing

I'll add as I think about it.

---------- Post added at 05:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 AM ----------

Important: try not to update and keep mdl and root that way and stop auto updates.

There is a way to root with mf3 if you still want ota updates from att to remain

JB 4.2 on MT6577?

Even with the rom and kernel, you will need ALOT more to work with.

And did you forget Mediatek is Closed Source?

Wish you good luck, you will need it !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] icoolguy1995:
First read things clearly then post.

I have not started this tread for porting JB 4.2.xx i have started this tread to collect necessary files.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
I actually read it :p

My reply was based in, what use can u actually have for

JUST

**hint**hint** the base system and Kernel source code?

Being the rest Closed Source, there isn't much you can do with JUST that.

Don't take it personal, i just hate these Comp. that dont comply with the Android GPL License.

[Sony Xperia ZL] voysturr:
Hello all,

I have purchased the Sony Xperia ZL from Mobilicity (Canada) version (6502) and I want to unlock my phone so that I can use it abroad or even with another provider. I paid for my phone in full but Mobilicity does not want to give me the unlock code. Is there a work-around for this?

Thank you
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
I don't think there is, and since the unlocked versions of the phones are easily obtained, I don't see it happening soon. But since the Z and other phones might have similar basebands, it could happen. How much did you pay for the phone? Could you return it and buy an unlocked version elsewhere?
[Sony Xperia ZL] voysturr:
Paid $700 for it with taxes. Can't return it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
You can't?? That's very unfair, a SIM and bootloader unlocked version would probably be about the same price. Is that their policy to not unlock phones? I would raise hell with them and make them do it.

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

Are you paying the phone off monthly or did you pay the $700 when you got it? T-Mobile in the US for example will not unlock the phone if you defer your payments until you pay it off.
[Sony Xperia ZL] voysturr:
I paid for the phone. Not a fan of contracts. Saved a lot of money on monthly promotions with my previous phone and decided to do the same with this one. Whenever I call, they say that they cant do that or that they have no idea what im talking about.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Sounds like you are stuck unfortunately. You might find an online unlock service that can come out with an unlock code. I suggest you read through some Mobilicity forums, like Howard Forums http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php/541-Mobilicity

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguyenminhlam92:
Hello fellow XDA members...

his morning i woke up, and as usual, my phone was still plugged in into the charger. (Q-Smart Miracle Mach).

But, the thing that actually woke me up, was the phone constantly re-booting, and making the start-up sound + vibration.:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cacoe:
So, I decided to try and de-crap my Star n800 by re-flashing the original firmware.

Another thread from this site suggested that I do it with a sp download tool rom.

I did it and I just got a blank white screen. I've been trying to fix it for a few days now!

It turns out that I should have never used the link provided in that thread, it was for another phone. Having said that, my n800 did still work, I just couldn't see anything on the screen except for plain white. It would take calls and everything.

I then tried to flash CWM so that I could install the correct stock rom (which only seems to be distributed as a cwm restore)

I still had a white screen so I couldn't see what I was doing!

I found somewhere that someone suggested finding the correct uboot for the device which would only be available by finding an sp tool flashable firmware.

I could not find one, so instead, I found a website with many Star phone roms and found a phone that appeared to have the exact same specs (or at least hopefully enough of them for the phone to boot, and I have never had this problem with rk3066 devices..) as the n800.

I flashed the device and now it is totally dead.

does anyone know any sort of way to revive this phone? Some sort of download mode?

Thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cacoe:
Sorry, I was talking about using roms from various rk3066 devices on a tablet I have. It has never cause such a catastrophic problem!

I basically flashed my phone with a firmware from another phone, which on paper, looked identical. And bricked it.

If this helps, here's the full specs of the handset:

Awesome chad! hope u guys enjoy it. Good work!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Some more screenshots. I included 2 sense themes.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
this looks great, thanks. as for the weather, i noticed a while ago (several months ago actually) that weather stopped working on all of the cm ports for us. i thought it was just something i borked in my phone or me not using gps and wifi location in google settings. i havent gotten around to it but now that google has its own settings app try adjusting the location settings in that instead of the rom.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
I've been thinking the problem has to do with the web address the weather information comes from. All the google settings does is link to the ROM's gps settings...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
Looks great bro, my power button is starting to go, so I will try and flash this before it does.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
yeah i wasnt sure. i havent decompiled a rom in ages and the last rom i used that had working weather in it was aokp.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] megaghostgamer:
Really Neat! I've always loved you and Ryans work. Hopefully they can make a 4.2.2 version of this rom and then I can use it =)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Well there's only been 4 DLs so far. I guess there aren't many Shift users left.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
installed last night, excellent ROM. gonna fiddle with it throughout the day. i did notice last night though that when adding/removing toggles it fc's the systemui. tried rebooting it to see if itd help but it didnt. had to set it back to defaults and reboot to fix the systemui.

sorry, no logs since i removed all dev stuffs from my laptop a while back
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
I noticed the same thing earlier when I was first messing with it but at the time I thought the ROM was just resetting the systemUI.apk because it came right back on for me. This morning I changed a few toggles again but the systemUI didn't reset. Maybe after things have settled in that won't happen anymore.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
well i messed with the toggles some more this morning and it seemed to be ok as long as you dont fiddle with more than 2 at a time. do 2 and let it save then do more, etc..

odd bug but systemui isnt crashing anymore.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BigSplit:
Thats the only bug I've noticed so far too. Bluetooth worked perfectly for me.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
That's cool! The problem I have with bluetooth may be related more to my headset. I've had a lot of trouble with it not working on several ROMs.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BigSplit:
Arggg.... If you are viewing the toggles when you dismiss the dropdown then it becomes a pain to open your notifications again. It acts like it loses focus as soon as the toggles become visible and it closes. If you make sure to tap back to the notifications view before you dismiss it though then there is no problem
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
yeah, noticed that too
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Guys, I am unable to duplicate what you're talking about with the toggles. If I close the notification bar while the toggles are showing, when I reopen it they are still there but all I have to do is hit the button just to the left and it shows the notifications fine. In face I've tried this with just a few turned on and with all of the toggles on and its the same thing. I wonder why they work ok for me and not for others?

Edit: There is an option in apex settings/Behavior settings that you can set so when you use the swipe gesture of choice, it'll show the notifications. Maybe this can help...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
i think you misunderstood. yes, the toggles are still there but the drop down is more of a pain in the a$$ when you close it on toggles instead of notifications.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BigSplit:
It seems that it only happens while the phones plugged into the computer so screw it
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] KiDxNinja:
Gonna give this a shot. I'll let you know if i find anything.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
That's probably a good hint as to what's going on. I tried using mine this morning while it was plugged in to a charger and the lag was terrible. I'm not sure where to look in the ROM to try to fix it though...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BigSplit:
I got weather working properly thanks to this post. The framework from that post doesn't work directly on our device but I decompiled it and took the changed smali files from it and replaced them in our framework.jar...Its attached

Also the SystemUI mod in that post works perfectly on this too if anyone wants to play with it...

Edit: I think this is my new favorite rom now that weather works!

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
It's not, we use it all the time on the S3.

Best app that I have.

I went from 10 hours battery time to 15 hours battery time after setting it up, no other changes or tweaks. And the 15 hours is with even heavier usage than before installing

I get 5+ hours screen on time now too, and about 13-15 hours on battery....ANYWAY, it really does help. It does wonders if you set it up right.
