[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] pietrucci:
The latest version gives a lot of stability problems on my MDA Compact. After 2 of 3 on/off-switches of bluetooth I have to reset my MDA. After installing the previous version I have no problem anymore.

By the way: there is a way to use the latest version of Pocket Bluetooth: when you pair your device and get the "flashing" screen from Pocket Bluetooth, go to the Today screen before you finish the pairing!

There you will find the Pocket Bluetooth screen. Select the COM-port and finish. Then go back to the bluetooth manager en finish the pairing.

I hope you understand my explanation. It worked for me.

But as said before: the latest version is not stabile, choose the previous.

why should one use Pockte BT tools with Magician?

Thought the BT Stack is good enough these days (well: final Himalaya versions were good enough also)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Panja:
I'm using it because I had problems getting active sync to work.

With BT Tools it works after 10 sec :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] izaah:
You can use any task manager like MortButtons to switch to the BTTools before finishing the pairing.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kuikkaj:
Hello,

I just got my N7 (LTE model obviously) today. I noticed that before activating the T-Mobile SIM that came with the device the signal strength indicator indicated LTE connection. After activating and rebooting the device I only ever see 3G or H.

So the question is: Are others getting LTE data on their N7 using the accompanied T-Mobile SIM?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NDELEON:
Coming from Sony Xperia P to galaxy s4 was a great step to take. But I am at the verge of regretting it as I cant us this device at its optimum performance. If I switch from EDGE to HSDPA which I do all the time when I need a good internet speed. I observe that it takes sometime for the connection to be established. Like for instance if I click on a web page it takes about 4 seconds before the device start transmitting and receiving data.

Most frequently, the network bars drops and connection will be lost and regained at a very frequent interval by so doing disconnecting and connecting back the internet data. I never experience did on my xperia P.

Have you experienced this problems? and how did you fix it please

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi All,

I've waited some months now, until the person I know is finally about to upgrade their phone and sell me their old N7000. It is a UK Vodafone Contract N7000, so hopefully from what Ive read about the internet, it should already be unlocked...

However, is this still worth getting as a phone? And what would be an ideal/good price to pay for it...?? Apparently it is in mint condition, with no scratches on case or screen, except for a couple of scuffs near the charging socket.

1) The person wants £150 for it... Does that seem fair, or do you think I'm being ripped off, based on its age?? And could any of it likely to fail anytime soon...??

2) Are the batteries easy to swap/replace yourself, does the back cover just pop off, or do you have to break a seal?

3) Are there any signs/faults I should look for...??

4) Just before the person is about to sell it, they took it to VodaFone to be repaired. Vodafone returned it back, unrepaired... with a sticker saying "Faulty/Unrepaired" however a go-between friend, has actually tested it, and says it runs fine... Is there anyway to check if it is faulty, whether it is the brick bug? The original owner has sent it in once before for repair (claiming brick bug) but turns out to be user error, to do with Apps. So just need to make sure the device is working like normal or if there is anything wrong with it...

5) What is better, to get the old N7000 second hand with out warranty, or buy a new ZTE Blade V that is newer has warranty but hardware not as good, and as yet has no Dev support...?

Cheers, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi guys,

Any opinions please, as i maybe getting this tomorrow.... And don't really want it to be another phone i sell within a week of having it...

Thanks, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daedric:
Too much for a out of warranty and possibly defective device.

No, no seals to brake, you have to remove back cover and battery to insert SIM card and SD card.

Reboot, check for a Yellow triange. It's presence means the original owner has flashed unsuported roms. Not a defect though.

Check every button, check back cover for damaged pins, check chromed frame. Check if the device charges well (usb plug working ok) and if the headphones work (headphone plug working ok). Test all buttons.

Whitout knowing what was wrong, it's very difficult. Test it like you would test a device, see if every thing works, from phone, camera, net, buttons...

Though the quality of the ZTE Blade V is not on par to a previously flagship phone, it's not to disconsider. It's a Qualcomm quadcore, better processor. Screen and camera are inferior, but for screen size it's resolution should sufice (cannot quote on color reprodution). Read this

Still, considering question 1), every other question is pointless. IMHO of course.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Daedric,

Thank you for coming back to me with your very useful and helpful Answers.... All of that makes sense, and feel a lot better for the backup opinion....

I'm fairly OK when it comes to Android, but based on this models (not this specific phone i am to buy) past history of risk to brick bug, thought I'd see if its worth it.

My original was the first ZTE Blade, so anything is a plus.. ;) although it Dev community has been amazing. I got a G300 when the Blade died. I only had the G300 a week from new, wasn't overly impressed.

Always had my eye on this, as i know the person selling it through a friend. The original owner wouldn't have a clue how to ROM it, she barely knew how to use it really... And so don't know what previous faults were as she didn't know herself.

I'd like to check if all the phones storage is available and no faulty eMMC blocks found, can i do it through that App in the play store... And assume its a non destructive check, as the device wont have Philz recovery when i view it, although may have too just to get root

Thanks regarding batteries, not seen this device up close... I wondered if they copied Apple by forcing you into an expensive battery replacement. Also due to being a year old, might look to get spare battery if itndoesnt hold well... Although there is no indication i know of that it does hold its charge...

As for price, what would you think is fair price based on age, potential risk of bug... But despite its in great condition?

I was thinking ZTE Blade V as its new, quad core and will have a year warranty... Otherwise features of N7000 and big dev support make it a winner for me...

Thanks again for all your help though, will certainly test it.... :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daedric:
Red flag there. The polish in their nails ruins smartphones. Also cars. :D Now i'm being sexist, apologies ladies :D

Since she's the regular type of user, any damage that may have happened came either from factory defect, or miss use. Maybe she dropped it.

Faulty eMMC blocks are irrelevant. I bet every phone has them, and the eMMC controller just remaps them to backup blocks, withouth the user even knowing. It's not going to be easy to find out if the eMMC has any bad blocks, the controller prevents it. Still, 30 or 40 badblocks is not a concern, 4000 would :) That would be noticable, either the device wouldn't boot, or the storage would be very small (like, from 16 gb to 10 or something) Don't trouble yourself with this, the eMMC brick bug is a entire different issue.

Apparently (i haven't tried myself for obvious reasons) the stock ICS kernel as a bug that when running certain eMMC commands (namely, the famous SSD TRIM command of Android 4.3) would completely brick the eMMC, rendering the device a brick. It's a bug on the eMMC controller.

If you buy the Note, and it's running ICS, under no circumstances will you wipe/factory restore in CWM. You can only do that AFTER flashing a "no brick bug" kernel, such as PhilZ. There's a app that can check if you have the problematic eMMC, but it isn't worth the risk. Just follow procedures, flash SAFE kernels, and be happy.

Batteries are reasily replacable, just don't enter the bandwagon of the 5000mah battery stock size. It doesn't happen. It most someone might get 3000mah instead of 2500mah. When in doubt, buy genuine.

As for price, what would you think is fair price based on age, potential risk of bug... But despite its in great condition?

I have a note, vodafone PT, a small dent on the chrome frame near the headphone hole, two tiny marks on the screen. I don't have the invoice, and even if i had it it's out of warranty (2y in PT). No one will give me 150€ for this. So... Try to drop it to 100£ :D Haggle :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
LOL, the sexiest in you... ;) :good: he he he.... But true though, apparently it has been sent off twice for faults. One of which was not found, the other I dont know about yet (but will find out tomorrow when meet my mate, not the one selling it, but the go-between). Plus she has reported other things not working in the past, when they were fine... lol Yeah, she's just the "regular type of user" ;) lol

Oh, ok... I think I got confused somewhere with this eMMC bug, and that if ya get it... obviously the first tell tell sign is non-booting... But I wondered if she (may not even know) or if Vodafone returned it saying Not Repaired, if it was missing storage. So I know its a 16Gb model, but was wondering if I get it and I only see like 10Gb storage or summit?? lol

Yeah, I am aware of the ICS danger wipes... (which do scare me...) And so the first thing I will do, if I do get it... Is put Philz Kernel on straight away... I am a little confused as to which one I will need, but I am sure that will make sense when I have the thing in front of me... ;)

Only couple of things now...

1) If I install Philz Kernel via Download Mode (so no Yellow Triangle), when I flash a new ROM, does it wipe Philz Kernel, or does it stay there? Do I have to keep Flashing it after a ROM?

2) Now you got me worried about Android 4.3 (as if ICS wasnt bad enough). So if I install a Android 4.3 based ROM, is there a chance I could possible brick it with CM10.2, or does Philz Kernel take care of that too...??

Makes me wonder how Samsung managed to sell that many Note, Note II, S2, S3 and S4 devices that all have faulty components, one way or another... Starting to think the ZTE may be a safer bet... ;)

That said, someone told me as long as I use Philz Kernel, I have nothing to worry about.. and can go about Flashing ROMs like I would any other phone...

So can running this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check&hl=en be dangerous for the device thing? Is the media check, destructive? or does it run in a read-mode only...??

I tried the above App on my HP Touchpad, because as far as I am aware it doesnt suffer the eMMC bug of any kind, and just wanted to see what it would do... It said my 32GB passed fine... :) Yippie... lol

Ah cool about the batteries, its only in case it dont hold out... But I would imagine it would still be ok... I had my Blade 1 for about 3 years before the Touchscreen went, and yet the battery was as good as the day I got it...

As for price, yeah thats exactly what I was thinking too, around the £100... at a push, I'd say £125... meet half way. But certainly not £150. As never know it could die on me at any time, esp if she sent it to Voda twice....

Thanks again, much appreciated...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daedric:
If you install via download mode + Odin, you'll get the Yellow triangle. The best bet, is to put the kernel in the sdcard, reboot to recovery, and flash it through there. After that, you get the CWM or other recovery and can flash at will. No yellow triangle for you :)

The kernel devs have disabled/disarmed the bug in 4.3/CM102 kernels as well, you won't have the TRIM effects of 4.3, but you won't have bricks either.

I'm not sure if all this devices share the bug, and S4 only has it if it's a exynos, the Qualcomm one probably hasn't.

True, but most kernels state on OP that it has the buggy code disabled. Remember, PhilZ's kernel is a TW rom kernel, not a AOSP/CM kernel.

Running it no, it just reads the ID of the eMMC controler and reports if it has been confirmed or not to be faulty, TRUSTING it is dangerous. Stay on SAFE kernels.

Of course, it's not using Samsung NAND :D Still, the TP does not support TRIM yet...

Stay safe, if the device seems weird, ask for a time. Like, give half and the other half next week. Gives you time to check it. Of course the seller might not be up to it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
My mistake, I got confused between Download Mode and Recovery Mode... God, I am doomed to SamsungHell, before I even get this device.. :( lol

Thats cools, I had a feeling the Devs of each rom, would remove any iffy/dangerous code before releasing... However, I am a Noob to 4.3... What does it mean by "wont have TRIM effects"? Is this a useful feature, on a safe device?

Fair play, just seen Apps in Store that fix Freeze, eMMC, and Sudden Death, and makes me wonder how reliable Samsung is.. Think I'll stick to Qualcomm again after this device.. ;) lol

I'm confused now, so if I install Philz, I cant then use it to wipe and install ROMs, such as PAC Rom (4.3 based) as that has CM base in it... So will that rom, do something to Philz, if I flash it??

I'm still very new to this N7000 m'larky.... and so think its prolly best I stick to just Philz, if thats the correct thing to say/do...??

So the TP could support TRIM (whatever that is??) in future, and so need to be cautious there too...??

Your right, she prolly wont agree to that... However, I think she is ok... So she will prolly let me just use it first before taking money... Or if summit does go wrong, providing I didnt cause it (hopefully) I am sure she would take it back, and refund... She got the device on Contract, and so she has already paid the money for it, what I give her is just extra cash for what she'd prolly just leave in the draw when she gets her new phone... I am seeing my mate (not the seller, the go-between person) tomorrow, who I get on very well with... We are going for drinks, so will get chance to have a good play/feel with it tomorrow, and see what its like...

Sorry for all the Noob questions, on any other device I am ok, as I feel safe with those, and can tweak and flash to my hearts content... Just, hearing so many danger stories with this... and once you Brick it, there is no going back... :( No switch off, count to 10, and reboot and all is fine... Its dud with this if all goes wrong... :( So thank you for being so patient and helpful to me with this... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Daedric,

Ok, I saw the phone today... and it is in MINT condition... No scratches or scuffs anywhere over screen, or rest of body of phone... Except for tiny tiny scuff near charging socket, but that is all...

Phone appears to be fine.... played around on net, downloaded Apps, opened camera... I didnt take any pictures as it didnt have an SD Card in it, and didnt want the flash to go off in a pub... ;) Although I was expecting the LED to turn on when I selected it in the camera. It does on the Huawei G300 when its too dark. But still, Im sure this will work...

I downloaded AndroSensor and they all seemed to be working....

I ran the eMMC Bug checker app, and of course it has the chip as expected. I couldnt test the media, as it wasnt Rooted, and didnt really want to Root as it's not mine yet... So not fair on seller to make changes.

All seems good... However....

1) When I went into Storage, Total Available Storage, I think USB showed up as 11Gb. Is this normal, as its a 16Gb model... Has the other 5GB been alocated towards ROM, and various other partitions...?? Or is there space missing...???

2) Although I didnt see it when I used it, apparently the phone Freezes from time to time in certain Apps. And this is why it has been sent for repair... Although the first time, apparently Vodafone put it down to the type of Apps she had on, and that there was too many. Second time, they didnt repair it... They just returned it as Faulty / Not repaired. And then on further inspection, the fault appears to be Battery. As the battery has a sticker on it saying Faulty.... Even though it seemed to be holding its charge ok.

2a) So, are the freezes normal, under stock JB 4.1.2? If I installed a custom rom, will this ease/fix the freezes. Or if I even did all the wipes and reflashed any rom, is it likely to fix it?? ie: bad stock rom install ??

2b) Could battery have any likely hood it freezing or acting odd?? (even though I didnt see this myself) I could just buy a new battery for it...

So, not sure what kinda price to go for.... She has quoted £150, its in MINT condition with box and everything with it.... Only ever spoke to her online, as she is a friend of a friend. Do I go for the £150, or do you think its not really worth that, in case of issues... (ie: sent to Vodafone twice, even though they didnt fix anything) and for the chances it could 'only assuming' break outside warranty?

Thanks for any input.... :)

Cheers, Lister
