[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gramme66:
My husband passed away on the 5th of this month. He had a Samsung Galaxy Note II 1317 AT&T rooted. I have placed it for sale on: http://swappa.com/listing/LPJ295/view as suggested in the market place. I have an unlock code from AT&T so anyone can buy this phone for use with another provider. They gave me instructions that I can pass on or do I GUESS...

I need to get everything off of this phone with accounts and password. He had Titanium backup on the phone can I use this?

Can someone tell me instructions on how to remove everything to prepare if for sale?

Thanks

Remove ext sd card

Reboot device to recovery (Vol up +home +power)

-Select wipe cache

-Wipe data (Factory reset)

-Reboot

It should be complete stock now. Except root still remain there, but I think that's not concerned for you.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveid:
Also wipe internal storage.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
If it's rooted then you might see an app called SpuerSU.

Go to SuperSU app and scroll to the settings Tab.

Then click on Full Unroot. Next, enter recovery mode by fully turning off the phone. Then hold volume up+home button and power on buttons all together until you see the Samsung logo. Let go of the button and you will enter recovery mode. Do a wipe cache+ factory reset. Also my condolences. I hope you're okay.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead soul:
sorry to hear about your husband passing away.

you can connect the phone to the pc with a cable and you may see some disk drives appear on the MY COMPUTER section if your are using Windows pc and assuming drivers are installed

open the drives and take all the pictures/files of from the disks or just copy everything on the disks to you computer and delete the contents of the disk that's on the phone

this is the simplest approach
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gramme66:
I have done this method and all seems to be set like a new setup....Thank you appreciate the simple instructions.

Donna
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
If you have did this with custom recovery then chances are there some data still remains (not in case of stock recovery)on int SD card.

For that you need not fund out which recovery you have but do this.

-Open my files from application drawer

- all files - sdcard0 - select all the contents and simply delete.

-it will recreate some folders even after deleting all. That's android needs those files and ignore it.

Now it's complete stock.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gramme66:
Hope that didn't happen because I have shipped the phone out. It sold OVERNIGHT while I slept...was thrilled...maybe the person knows what to do to get stuff off..will have to trust God on this one.

[HTC Rezound] gk1984:
My wife has a Droid Bionic and the thing freezes constantly, it's really a p.o.s. from the get-go. She's ready to get something else, not ready for upgrade, and we're looking at the Rezound used. I am an experienced Android user, but have a few questions about this particular model.

Most important question is what are the common problems with this phone keeping it stock and unrooted? She isn't comfortable letting me mess with it like that. But is the latest OS update stable? Does data stay connected well? Random reboots? Freezes? How is all of this?

How's battery life for you guys with this phone? What's a realistic expectation for an average user (not power user)?

Is this on ICS? I haven't found any clear info with a quick search yet - I'm sure I could work a little harder to find it.

Did HTC eol this device? Is there nothing more coming down the pipeline officially for this phone?

Anyone play with the Droid Bionic and this one as well want to chime in on the user experience? I used to own the HTC Evo 3D which is similar, some comparisons to that would be great too (currently HTC ONE - the rezound probably wouldn't even come close to comparing).

Biggest concerns are stability and a half-way decent battery that won't drop to nothing in an hour for no reason like the Bionic does. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
The last OTA is very stable, data stays connected fine and there are no issues worth noting... no reboots, freezes, etc.

Battery life is a real issue with this phone... On a standard battery you can expect ~1.5 hours of screen on time depending on what you are doing, if all you are doing is checking emails, Facebook, and looking up little things here and there (light average user) expect 12-15 hours of use before you are in trouble and seeking a charger. I recommend an extended battery. On my son's Bionic with a standard battery he averages 2.5 to 3 hours of screen on time with the stock JB ROM, significantly better than my Rezound, and with most AOSP ROM's he gets slightly better times than that.

Yes, ICS is the current OTA, and no, there will likely be no more official updates to this device. The developer community is very active though, and many major ROMs are supported on the device (although not officially). We have Jelly Bean up through the current 4.3 release currently.

Honestly though, the Bionic is not a bad phone... My son has one and on the official JB update it was kind of flaky but with Safe Strap installed and running CyanogenMod or Avatar the battery life is much better and more stable. The Bionic has a lot of official supported ROMs too, that the Rezound does not including CyanogenMod, Liquid Smooth, PACMAN, CarbonROM, and Avatar.

Overall comparing the two, the display pushed the Rezound into the lead, but the Bionic is a solid phone and you are not gaining a ton by dumping the Bionic for a Rezound... You should look into something a little newer such as a Samsung Galaxy S3 or a Droid Razr Maxx to get significant improvements in battery life. The real issue here though is WHY is the Bionic draining like fruit in juicer, there has to be a reason and it should be investigated before just jumping to another device. Don't get me wrong, I love the Rezound and on Stock firmware it is fairly solid, but again battery life is less than wonderful.

Note that the Rezound has had it's share of problems as well, so be very careful buying used... proximity sensor failures, charge port issues, headset issues, SIM slot failures, and more. Also note overheating was a very common issue and phones that overheated significantly could have other random issues.

My two cents worth... if battery life is a significant concern, look into a Razr Maxx or S3.

I thought we should have a general gaming thread for our nook hd's and HD+'s. I use mine for gaming a lot of the time so I figured that other people probably do also. You can post anything related to gaming on the nooks here such as games that run great on the tablets, games that aren't supported, asking question pertaining to how games work on the tablets etc. So, does anybody know any really great games or have any questions about games on the nook? If so, fire away!

Games on nook HD+

I'm currently running stock, unrooted 2.1.1 with nova launcher and sideloaded g-apps on a Nook HD+.

I've only put a few games on it so far. Iron Man 3 and Epic Citadel both run very well, which was a pleasant surprise.

Epic Citadel also has some benchmarking features which report decent scores for the Nook HD+.

I also installed Google Ingress, but it just crashes after launch. The crash occurs just after the opening graphic with the globe. This happens under 2.1.0 and 2.1.1.

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot the Ingress issue beyond the basics (clear cache, reinstall) ?

I am running CM11 on my two Nook HD+ (latest Feb-26th nightly, I just updated both tablets)

I have a strange WIFI related issue with Minecraft PE. Minecraft PE allows you to share your game (your world) with any other device running Minecraft PE on the same LAN. When I open a world with any other device (HP Touchpad, phone), all other devices in the LAN can see the game, even the two Nook HD+. However, when I start a world with a Nook HD+, no other device (the HP Touchpad, the phone, not even the other Nook HD+) can see it.

I wonder if anyone else has found this problem ..
[Nook HD, HD+ General] pumpjack:
Games Not Working - the haunt (1&2)

the Haunt and the Haunt 2 (and, I assume, all their other games) will not run on my Nook HD+ running CM11 (latest nightly) with PAs 0-Day gapps. In fact, these games stopped working on my Nook Tablet (16gb) after I upgraded it from CM7 to CM9. I contacted the developer (Synthesis Design Solutions), letting them know I was trying to play their games on a rooted Nook HD+ running CM11 (etc.) and they told me to try and download the games from the Nook Store again. Huh?

Well, I didn't download them from the Nook Store to begin with - I no longer have access to the Nook Store after rooting/modding - and the games WORKED on my Nook Tablet running CM7 until I upgraded it (as I said), so now what? Why did they stop working? What was different between CM7 and CM9 on one device and having CM11 on another? If those games ran once, they should always run, unless there was some change in android... And why can I download from the Google Play store, install them, and then they don't run? Really?!

I've tried just about everything to get these games working, except modifying the build.prop, just so I can play the darn things! I tried a couple of Xposed modules (RootCloak and App Settings), and they were no help. So I am left with this: a black screen with a little message saying "Warning This device is not supported."

So, anybody have some idea of how to make this work, short of modifying the build.prop?

Also, I won't purchase any more games from this developer in fear of them not working as well.

Thanks!

[Nook HD, HD+ General] zeppelinman_2000:
Well my best guess is they check for screen dpi and error out, change the build prop settings and see if they run? Best guess I have for that error, I had the same on some games from a old phone that I had to change build prop to 120 and reboot to play them.

Has anyone tried CM 1.2 final stable release with the Wii remotes? I cannot get the HD+ to detect the WiiMotes at all.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Odenknight:
I have also tried using WiiMotes, and it will not work on android builds that are 4.2 or newer. I made a CM10.0 SD-card build, and WiiMotes work on it, but the HDMI out to TV causes the HD+ to reboot.

There's an explanation within one of the development threads as to why the WiiMotes are not working w/ Android 4.2+. Something about how the Bluetooth stack doesn't contain some legacy code that the WiiMotes used to communicate. PLEASE do not quote me on this, as I am writing this in a hurry. Search the forums here for the proper explanation.

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

Im looking for some help. I have rooted my GS4 and installed CWM. This was all quite straight forward and simple. Now that I have that done I want to flash a custom ROM however any time I try to do this it just ends up bricking the phone and I have to reinstall touchwiz. This is a long painful process. I have rooted the phone again since reinstalling touchwiz however when I tried to flash a ROM again the same thing happened,

I have now rooted the phone again but don't want to install a ROM as I think it will do the same thing.

don't know what is going wrong.

phone is the i9505 model.

Thanks in advance

Make sure you flash the right rom and also follow the rom installation instructions. You can also try to redownload the rom, your download might be corrupted ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Download Philz Touch Recovery from here http://d-h.st/wSF. Reboot in download mode and flash the recovery with Odin 3.04. After it boots turn off the phone or pull the battery if it doesn`t and go into recovery mode (press volume up and then power). Once in recovery do a full wipe and flash the rom you wanted to flash.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m5james:
I've got a two part question for some issues I'd like to address while on 4G (some I've called Sprint about, others I know you guys will have the answer since I'm rooted) that I hope to resolve.

My issues with Sprint is that if I'm on 3G and looking at images via websites, pics obviously load slower, but they're always nice and crisp. I notice that when I happen to be on 4G and go look at images, suddenly they load super grainy. I spoke to someone else who is also on Sprint w/ an LTE 4G phone (not a Note II, something else) who experiences the exact same problem. I've called Sprint about it, but I get the usual run around saying they're addressing the issues, fixing towers, etc. When I first started getting 4G in my area about 3 months ago, it was BLAZING fast, connected the second I came off the freeway and stayed on strong. I realize over time that I'm sharing the same signal with others, but damn.

My issues that I'm hoping you guys can assist with is in regards to the phone staying connected to to 4G more via changing thresholds. As I id before, it was awesome. Now it's gotten to the point where I or the phone have to be near a window, or occasionally I can leave it on the top edge of my couch...but if I happen to handle the phone to answer a text messages, it'll often drop back into 3G. The problem is that I use my phone tethered to my laptop for watching TV....Top Gear, Family Guy, etc that I stream. On 4G it's great, but once it drops to 3G it turns into a buffering nightmare and some shows/sites can't handle jumping around for time frames, so lets say if I'm 15 min into a show, go into 3G and come back into 4G, the show never recovers and I've got no choice but to restart the show. I'm just curious if there's a way to change at what point/signal strength that the phone wants to swap back and forth and basically ask it to stay on 4G more often than not when I'm at home where I actually get 4G.

As for tethering, I'm a stock rooted ROM using TrevEMod tethering because the stock tethering app won't stay turned on, I'm assuming due to using the stock ROM. What I'm curious about is a way to have the phone automated in that once I plug it on, the tethering app turns itself on and then back off again once unplugged from a power cord. At one point I'd used some app where it had me enter parameters to do this, but it only worked to turn on the stock tethering app which won't work.

Bottom line is I'd like my phone to stay connected to 4G more often than not, turn on tethering when plugged in and turn it off when not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] YrrchSebor:
as for the tethering, if you are running the stock deodexed rom, there is a mod you can flash to make the native hotspot work :) then you will be able to use Tasker or however you automate it turning on. if you are running stock odexed you could always flash stock deodexed, if you were intent enough on making it work.

here is the hotspot mod: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2232553
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m5james:
I truly don't know if the stock ROM is odexed or deodexed, I just did a simple rooting procedure and nothing more so I could install a tethering app. Maybe I'm just being naive, but coming from my Epic days where I rooted, ROM'd, kernal'd, OC'd, etc days where I removed tons of apps, added others, etc I never was able to get battery stats/calibration to work correctly, which in turn wrecked havoc on that phone...phone would get super laggy, bog and stumble, then I'd reset the phone and I'd go from 20% battery life to 3%, then realize why the phone was freaking out. Now that I've got this Note II, it works great, I've never felt the need to OC or anything (I wouldn't mind removing stock apps but the SDX Stock App Removal Tool doesn't work), so I'm kinda hesitant in flashing any sort of ROM for fear of reliving past experiences...right now the phone simply works great, I'd just like a few simple features. Any input to sway my decision?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] YrrchSebor:
i hear ya, i too like a nice stable setup with everything working. your system is probably odexed if al you did was root, but if you have a file explorer app, when you go into /system/app, you will see each .apk also has an associated .odex file. the deodexed rom has the odex part added back into the apk, but otherwise is exactly the same, no tweaks or anything, every bit as stable, and with nothing removed, but it is easier to make mods for a deodexed rom, such as the hotspot mod!

the decision is yours. it is always a bit of work to flash a rom, but this is defintiely a way to keep the stabilty and reliability, and have the hotspot working the way you want it to! the rom is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2241930, if you choose to go this route. this is exactly my setup, with the hotspot mod, and it runs great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m5james:
I'll read the thread, thanks for the link. Any suggestions for something that will enable the tethering app automatically based on being plugged in, and I've had no luck finding anything in regards to people changing thresholds for the 4G connectivity.
