[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheFamilyMan:
End of the Note Line for me!

The best thing about the Galaxy Note Line was it was ALWAYS the biggest, baddest, and most powerful beat in the land. I'm kinda bummed by Samsung bowing out of the niche market they created. I don't take many pics but I do use the Xeon Flash as a flashlight - that being said other than the possibilities of the screen resolution of the Sony Xperia Z Ultra - Sony outgunned Sammy.

In my eyes Sony kind of made the Note Line obsolete way before Sammy finally made their disappointing announcement earlier today! Hell, I'd even consider the fresh rumor of an HTC ONE 6.0+ phablet before I'd reluctantly think about spending $700 - $800 on the Note III.

When it's all said and done I wouldn't even use half of the "life partner" apps after it would've been rooted. So much of those apps running in the background are definitely going to eat the relatively same battery that's in the Note II, and that's just the beginning of the list.

I'd bet Samsung sees the writing on the wall and is starting to walk away from the phablet market. After making millions of $$$ they were young the scales as it was, methinks they have a sneeky move up their sleeves and are about to introduce the "Next Big Thing" by creating another - coherent niche market!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
KNOX. Yeah couldn't understand exactly what they said it was when watching it.

Bet there won't be much difference between the 2. They definitely won't let the quallcom out perform there own chipset but also thought they were having some issues with the exynos.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
How are they bowing out? lol

I'm confused by this post. I bet the note 3 will sell like hotcakes. Watch and see..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
well, I dont agree with everything you say, but I will say that I was very underwhelmed by what this phone is going to be; 3 gigs of mem is nice, and 1080p is an improvement, but thats about it; if you prefer AOSP roms, then all those software proggies probably wont work for you, and, of course, depending on how buttoned up the bootloader is, it might take awhile to root/unlock it.

I'm REALLY liking the xperia Z ultra, from what I have seen and read about it. Dont know if 6.3 inches is over the top, but, the looks of that phone, and what all the features are may be where I go in the not too distant future.

The note 3 will be a great upgrade for folks with a note 1, or any other phone, but to alot of us who had a note 1 then a note 2, its pretty much a let down announcement today..I cant see upgrading, since there isnt alot of "groundbreaking" stuff in it, and I dont like that silly "vinyl leather" stiching on the back..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaolin95:
At least the Mega 6.3 feels awesome to me. I hope the Z ultra feel s as good cause unless a bigger note is announced as a possibility. ..i am not going with midget note 3 lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lude219:
Can't say I'm disappointed by the outcome given the amount is leaks in the past couple weeks, but it just confirms that Sammy is slowing down the pace a notch. Realistically, If you have a note 2, there's not a single selling point for the note 3 that would make me fork over another $300/$800 for an upgrade/unlock phone. This is a great opportunity for HTC and Sony to really shine. ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlackBradPitt:
Before Samsung Event:

"I can't wait to upgrade from my Note 2, it's going to be AWESOME!"

After Samsung Event:

"Like I was saying, Sony tell me more about that Experia I'm looking to upgrade"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] force70:
Same thing everyone said about going from s3 to s4.

I say...bigger screen, bigger capacity battery,smaller overall size, lighter, more ram, way more powerful processor, better camera....more than enough reasons to spend a measily $800!

The sonys and htcs coming down the pipeline are pretty sweet too though and def worth looking at. Agree with you there for sure

Keep in mind the back cover is removable. That means they will sell back covers that are not leather. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheFamilyMan:
Explanation of benefits - Making a case to consider a Z Ultra

What I meant by Samsung throwing in the towel was, in my eyes @ least, an easy to understand statement. Why? Because since Sammy took the gamble with the Note, then the Note II it just seems to me - while there are some things to be happy about - they're not following the game plan that they started out with.

The Note Line was about bringing all the best tech that everybody on earth said was going to fail, packing it into a decent format and push it beyond the boundaries of everybody's else's tech at the time.

They definitely knew LG, HTC, Sony, Oppo and the rest would push back after Samsung had the last laugh all the way to the bank. It seemed they were to busy still being influenced by Steve BlowJobs inside the box thinking, whereas Sony risked it all on the Z Ultra. If it ends up being a bust they could probably kiss goodbye any serious thoughts of overtaking Samsung in the market place and beating them at there own game.

While it's great to have a 13 MP camera on a phone it'll NEVER REPLACE a P&S or DSLR. Seriously, who in their right mind is going to print a 13 MP (or greater - including Ultra-Pixel cameras) picture? Surethey look great on a HDTV or large IPS Flat Panel, but that wasn't the point of the whole camera concept being on a smartphone anyway. They were meant to be for those times we didn't have their P&S or DSLR handy, that's it. It's just that all these OEM's are running out of concepts to include on the smartphones they're betting we'll be suckered into buying to create the next "IT" phone.

Printing a huge amount of MP's is going to soak up a of ink, paper, and cash - no matter how many pics you may or may not end up printing. That's what a camera was invented for, capturing a moment in time and saving it for posterity. What use will become of all of these 64GB microSDXC cards were have laying around. I know I wouldn't be using a large format screen every time I wanted to just sit down and relive some memories. Sure there's all of our smartphones and tablets, after a while it gets to be boring relying on technology to simply view some old pictures of loved ones and friends.

Sony could always release accessories like a flash or whatever they can dream up to cover the lack of hardware on their Xperia Z Line.

Keep in mind - crAPPLE's been releasing some pretty boring stuff lately and it seems Samsung has been/is doing the same thing. Now it's LG & Sony's turn to bat and they're the one's pushing the boundaries of the latest tech toys. That's my .02¢!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
Did you happen to look at the features of the phone?

This is more of an upgrade for people who are on a note 1,or another phone.

They don't have to completely rewrite the book every time they release a phone.

This will sell just fine, and is no more throwing in the towel than the s4 was in comparison to the s3, and you know how well that sold.

Just because people here at xda, who represent probably 0.1% of note buyers (if that) don't think it's big enough or "cool" enough, doesn't really mean anything.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] frap129:
Okay, so I bought the n7 v2, went home, unlocked the boot loader, and rooted it. I've tried to flash versions of vanir I built my self, the betas that are posted here on the forums, and I also tried carbon ROM. Every time I flash a ROM, my device bootloops, so I just hold power + vol down to get to boot loader mode so I can boot into recovery. Any fix for this? I've tried flashing a stock IMG and re rooting to. No luck.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] frap129:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TheMrcool212:
Did you even wipe, and perform a factory reset before flashing a ROM?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] frap129:
Yes, I wiped data, cache, and dalvik every single time.

try redownloading the rom and install, could of been a bad download
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] frap129:
With four different ROMs, 2 transfered via adb and 2 from different download hosts, I doubt its a bad download.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] shortyboy:
you should've mentioned that in your original post. id try to reflash to complete stock and start all over. it seems like something you modified in the first rom you've flash isn't being removed from another flash,so going back to stock,you can be sure everything is working first.hope this helps
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] frap129:
I did mention that in the original post, as well as the fact that ive flashed stock a few times already.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bananagranola:
Did you boot into the tablet after unlocking the bootloader but before rooting it? If not, try formatting data (not factory resetting) in recovery. I had the same experience and my sdcard never got populated with the default folders and files, remaining at 0MB. Apparently, symptoms of this problem include being unable to factory reset from recovery, being stuck on the splash screen, and having TWRP demand a password.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] frap129:
I'll try that, maybe its because I restore my data after I wipe it that this happens. Another thing I've found is that after I flash and the restore my system partition that I backed up, su says that no subject binary was found, even though I've flashed it a million times. And some root apps don't work because it says no binary is found.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonNMP:
Hey there,

Alright so a couple of days ago my WiFi on my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone just started acting weird. By weird I mean the further away I am from my router (like 1 bar wifi signal - opposite end of the house) websites load, however if I'm pretty much next to it with a max bar wifi signal nothing loads (or sometimes they do load but take extremely long)

In short, the further away from router wifi works fast, whereas the closer I am wifi works slow or doesn't even load websites/applications at all.

So what's happening here?

Thanks,

Jason

PS: No I'm not capped, and no one was/is downloading anything when I conducted my tests.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
More info required - model number/which SGS2 variant, which rom/kernel/Android version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonNMP:
Sure thing,

I hope all those details help (if they're things there that I shouldn't be sharing to the public please tell me, so I can remove them). Also, I haven't tried the original factory Rom for this phone to see if that fixes the problem, the only issue I have is I forgot what version and such I'm supposed to use.

Ohh and I bought the phone in Australia, if that's any help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Remove the FFC ID but the rest is OK ;) Yep, doing a clean install of stock (with wipe) is the next step. Re: which stock rom to use, go to Samfirmware & use the pulldown boxes to choose device/carrier/country & find one for your carrier. Doesn't matter much whether it's ICS or JB (though don't flash 4.0.4 stock; use something else) as you're only doing it to test.

Before you go down that path though, you could try a 'dirty' (without wiping) flash of your current rom/kernel. Though probably unlikely to work, it's worth a try given going back to stock is a bit of a pain. You could also try some other custom kernels given WiFi drivers are in the kernel & flashing a new kernel (and fresh drivers as a result) might fix the problem if it's a case of the drivers being messed up.

It could also be something router-side causing it, but we'll look at the phone-side first before looking at stuff like that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonNMP:
Alright, So I'm on the SameMobile Firmware site and am now using the drop down boxes, I chose Model: GT-I9100 - Galaxy S II and then I'm stuck with Product Code. What do I chose here? Do I chose Vietnam because the phone was made there or do I chose Australia (Optus) because I remember a Optus boot screen on the original firmware (and the Modem is the same as the Baseband version - I9100XXLS9)?

How do I flash my current rom/kernel? I'm still very new to this whole rom scene, I just go off what I see in videos :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
How do you flash your current rom/kernel again ? To be really honest with you (and I'm not saying this to offend you), if you're asking that question you probably shouldn't be messing with your phone in the first place.

The same way you flashed it in the first instance.

If you still really don't know how to flash a rom or kernel, you really need to read the threads stickied at the top of Q&A and also the guides/tutorials stickied near the top of General. I'm not about to regurgitate stuff like that purely because you're unsure of what to do when that stuff has been asked/answered here thousands of times over the past two years. Also, just doing stuff without understanding what you're doing can easily lead to a busted phone.

Re: which stock firmware to choose, it doesn't matter (as I said in my PP), I just said choose one for your carrier because that's what I'd do, if you had Optus firmware on it previously, you can go with that. It's not really of any consequence.

However...

You need to read all of my PP. I did say to try reflashing your current custom rom/kernel first because this will be quicker/easier than going back to stock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonNMP:
Oh I know what you meant by flash, it's just my lingo that Is off. Dw I understand what you meant now.

Okay, I reflashed my current rom (which was SuperNexus 3.0 Build 1) and that didn't fix the problem any bit.

Okay, now that i've finished downloading the original firmware you say, "doing a clean install of stock (with wipe) is the next step". How exactly do I do a clean install? Does that mean wipe everything, un-root, I've never done this before?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You don't seem to be reading everything I've posted:-

"If you still really don't know how to flash a rom or kernel, you really need to read the threads stickied at the top of Q&A...".

Oh, look. 4th thread from the top in Q&A 'flash stock Samsung firmware'. In other words, as I've already said, I'm not going post stuff for you that's already been posted here & is easy to find purely because you want your hand held.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonNMP:
Alright cheers, I found the thread before you updated your post so dw.

Anyway... I did everything the guide said to do. Tested out the internet just then and its still doing the same thing :/

I don't understand why this is happening!?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonNMP:
[Solved]

Alright so early this morning I looked and saw no reply, so I just went a tried somethings out. I reset my router/modem and now everything seems to be working fine.

Thank you MistahBungle, for being the only person that helped me out of the 200~ odd users who viewed the thread and didn't even bother to reply.

I made this little app mainly for myself but I'm happy to share it with the xda community.

What is it?

Xscaler is a display resolution changer for the 1st gen Nexus7. It scales down the display resolution from the native 800x1280px to 640x1024px making games like N.O.V.A. 3 or Asphalt 8 run noticeably smoother.

NOTE: this app requires root, busybox and Android 4.2 or newer (older versions are not supported).

The UI is pretty basic but does the job just fine.

Hope this will be useful to someone.

Enjoy!

Donations are welcome.

Version 1.3+ has a new version notification within the "About" screen. If a new version is available just tap on the notification to read the changelog and download the update.

I can confirm this works PERFECTLY on the Nexus 7 2013 runnng CM10.2

I have a little request? Can you add can option to set your own resolution? I would like to see an option for 1280x720. The nexus 5 is going to have some insane PPI and I was wondering if this resolution will be supported to reduce battery drain. Most will be hardpressed to find a PPI higher than 300 worth it..

Custom resolution option is on my to-do list... I just need to find the time to add it...
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] domg73:
Ok, added the custom display resolutions option... it's "hidden" for now because it still needs some fine-tuning so I consider it an experimental feature.
