[Omnia II General] sonnyblack100:
Hellou,

I'm about to change my old Omnia II with an Android mobile phone. But I have contacts and some important messages, which need to be saved somewhere, and transfered to my new Android phone. In fact, contacts aren't so much important, but these messages are. Is this possible to transfer messages from Windows Mobile phone to an Android phone? Any suggestions?

Hi! When I change to another ROM and I wipe data, my SGS+ boots fine but, when I reboot it, ALWAYS get stuck on kernel logo... What can I do? When it happens I always flash with Odin but I don't want to do that every time I want to change the ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gokulbalram:
Could you give a fair idea of how much time you waited for?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slash137:
It keeps freezed 5 minutes on the kernel logo and then, automatically it shutdowns. If I try to power it on happens the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gokulbalram:
How often do you keep changing ROMs?

At least it boots upto the kernel right? That's awesome, because the last time, mine wouldn't go beyond the Samsung logo. Just let me know if the next time this happens, it atleast boots to Recovery mode.

Good Luck! Hit Thanks if I'm helpful!

Could be a conflict of init.d files, i always delete my init.d files before flashing another rom.

It boots untill "Samsung Galaxy S Plus - cyanogenmod blablabla" but the bootanimation doesn't appear. After 5 minutes it goes off automatically.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slash137:
Then, if now I want to flash MiUI 4.2.2 and I'm in PAC·ROMS 4.4.2, I must wipe data, dalvik and... how can I wipe the Init.d data?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pryerlee:
just use "root explorer" and goto /system/etc/init.d and delete the files that are in there before flashing a custom rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gokulbalram:
That could be a solution. Although, you never told me if you're able to boot into recovery mode!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pryerlee:
yeah sorry forgot to ask you, anyway if you have a custom rom installed then most roms have init.d and a custom recovery already, you could even boot into recovery and also wipe system before flashing custom rom (which will wipe init.d folder) but make sure you have a nandroid backup first just in case.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slash137:
Yes, I'm able. Haha. Always. I can make it boot one time making a factory reset but, after reboot, it doesn't boot again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gokulbalram:
If you're able to boot into recovery mode, why do you fret? Just boot into recovery mode and flash the file once again. At times, when you flash a new ROM, it first only flashes the kernel (Don't know why) and then you have the ability to boot to system.

Hit thanks if I helped!

I tried to flash more than one time and it doesn't boot... :( f*ck
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gokulbalram:
Ouch. That's bad to hear. Now all you can do is the Odin stuff. Even if a phone won't boot, it'll always go into download mode (I'm guessing you already knew that)

in LG g2 when you press the bluetooth headset button should start google search or other programs for voice commands. when you press the headset button, nothing happens. how can I fix it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robinta:
Ive always ran the fix permissions option in recovery on my s2 after reflashing and to cure minor issues, but I notice Philz recovery no longer has this option and I believe the latest cwm is the same.

Ive ran fix permissions from ROM Manager but after rebooting I then lose 5-6 apps from the phone and start getting 'insufficient storage' errors. Ive covered this in another thread so wont go over old ground. But does this mean that fixing permissions now serves no functionality if not in recovery ? Will clearing dalvik and cache suffice ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
1. Questions shall be placed in Q&A thread, not in General;

2. "but does that mean..." - you already replied to that, didn't you? Or do you want to have the "functionality" of apps disappearing and errors in CWM?

3. What for would you like to clean cache and Dalvik? If your apps are not surviving flashing (typical between major versions), you shall make phone wipe. If the apps are surviving - what's the problem?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyie12:
I have forgotten the password to our Samsung Galaxy Tab -its been sitting in the data center for about a year, not being used. No one remembers the passcode.

I have done the following to perform a hard reset:

Powered the device off.

Held Power and Volume upuntill I get to the screen that says: Android System Recovery

I use the arrow down key to go to Wipe data/factory reset

There is a Droid with a exclamation mark in a triangle, at the bottom of the screen it says Manual Mode

Once I choose wipe data/factory reset I push the power button

Nothing happens, screen print attached.

Battery is fully charged.

Are we SOL with this thing?

Thanks, Kim

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] dlang123:
Thinking about getting one of these 32gb refurbished. Would you buy it again? Most of the reviews talk about laggy performance. Did the updates fix it at all?

Battery life decent? Torn between this and an iPad Air. I am experienced with both iOS and Android, so I understand the differences. Laggy Androids piss me off, but if they are smooth like my LG G2, then I have no problems with them. My iPad 3 on IOS 7 got too laggy, drives me insane.. selling it off.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] cantfindanick:
if you are not happy with your ipad for lagginess then dont even bother buying, rooting helps but no where smooth as ipad2&3 on ios 7.1, especially on chrome and handling pdf & xls & docx. General UI lagginess is expected to be fixed with an update.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] compumasta:
I own a TMO LG G2 so I may be able to give you a reference point. The G2 is damn smooth in EVERYTHING. You know that. This tablet is not smooth everywhere, its just not. But it is damn close in *most* areas.

Here's the breakdown. TouchWiz is the only somewhat laggy part of this tablet. I personally don't spend much time within TouchWiz, because most of my time is within an app. Inside apps, this thing flies very nearly as fast as the G2. Impressive, given the higher res screen. Games are very fluid, Boat Browser and UC Browser both offer exceptional speed and fluidity for browsing, and optimized apps, as with anywhere else, make the biggest difference. If they are optimized, then this tablet will chew through them like butter.

If you plan to use Nova launcher, etc. Then you will have no issues of slowdowns with this tablet. With those launchers, this thing flies, and you still get to keep all of the sPen features, which realistically, is probably why you are buying this anyway. If you weren't, you could get a tab pro cheaper, but probably not refurbed.

For notes, SNote is slow, for me at least, but LectureNotes is a fantastic alternative that offers fast, fluid note taking and is very reliable for classwork or the like.

If you are the type to use ROMs, I hear that there are some awesomely smooth options like CleanROM which retain the SPen features and touchwiz, but optimize it for smoothness.

By the way, a couple of things you should know if you end up purchasing this tablet. First, the speed of the tablet increases greatly after about 4-5 days, depending on your usage. Also, the battery life improves significantly after 2 weeks of use. At the beginning, this tab would drain about 10 percent over 8 hours, and now it consistently drains about 2% over the same time period.

Hope this helps,

-Cody
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] LaRoach:
I wouldn't go near the Samsung. Between the random (supposedly fixable) bluetooth issues, the lag and the lack of updates this tablet was/is pretty much a rip off. I've been a heavy Android user for years but it pushed me towards getting an iPad air. I have to say I'm really happy with the iPad and haven't looked back. It's a pity because the display is absolutely gorgeous and I really liked the pen input. It wasn't enough incentive to deal with all of the other issues however.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Kanczi:
Well... My experience varies. Seems like my note 10.1 has good and bad days. Sometimes performance couldnt be better, everything flies and the battery life is excellent but there are days, when there's noticeable lag and battery drain... My best on-screen time was 10 hours, the worse was 5 - while I didn't use it any differently in either cases, so that is strange. The lag you're so curious about is only in the launcher (touchwiz for the win), apps usually perform very well. As far as updates go, I only received one so far since I got the device (2013 december), so I can't really say anything about that.

Would I buy it again? Well, I'm aware of the limitations of iOS, but I never had a chance to try out an iPad for a longer period of time, so I'm not sure how it would fit my needs. This leaves me to pick an android device, and I have absolutely no doubt, that the note 10.1 is definitely one of the bests. Is it the most fluid experience? No, touchwiz kind of ruins that, but hey, you can always replace that with Nova or something that fits you. In terms of functionality, I'm sure that you can't go wrong with this, you have android+samsung features, which leaves you with an endless pool of possibilities. Even if you don't need the s-pen, the hardware in this device is amazing and with future software updates, I believe it could be on par with the smoothness of the iPad Air. So my answer is yes, I would buy it again, despite the occasional stutter which is present due to touchwiz. The battery life certainly could be better, but it will last you a full day with heavy usage, I usually recharge mine after 3-4 days (I'm not a heavy gamer, I use the tablet to take notes, read and edit pdfs, browse the internet, send emails... etc). The average on-screen time I'm getting is around 7-8 hours with 30-35% brightness (oh yes, the screen is REALLY bright).

In the end of the day, it really comes down to this: do you want to use android? If yes, go for the note 10.1 2014 edition without any hestitation. If you think you could live with iOS (you can always jailbreak and cram out some more functionality) and you don't really need the s-pen, by all means, go for the iPad Air, both of these tablets are absolutely amazing products.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] BarryH_GEG:
I totally agree with what [MENTION=3559222]compumasta[/MENTION] said about lag. There's occasional lag in transitions and app openings/closings but everywhere else the device is fast. You can do some pretty resource intensive things on the N10.1-14 that you can't do with any other device. I open two My Files instances side-by-side in multi-view and drag-and-drop files from my home server via FTP to my N10.1-14 and vice-versa. You can use Air Command to launch Scrap Book and copy pages or snips of content from an app or the web. You can get a spinning wheel occasionally while the device is processing. But it's pretty amazing that something as small as the N10.1-14 is able to do work-horse productivity work at all. If you're a productivity or creation user there's nothing that can touch the N10.1-14. The more I push it the more impressed by it I am.

But are you a productivity and creation user? For consumption and games the N10.1-14 is overkill and the ton of processes and threads open in the background at all times to support its unique and resource intensive features do sap some of the power of its high-end h/w. If you're not interested in those features you might be better off with an iPad.

The new Tab/Note Pro's are running 4.4 with some pretty major updates to Samsung's s/w and apps. Even with that reviewers have pointed out the same transition lag discussed above. My N10.1-14 is definitely not as smooth as my N3 but, considering its pushing three times the display area, it's a small price to pay for such a productivity powerhouse. But if you're lag obsessed you might want to think about what you're willing to live with and I wouldn't pin my hopes on updates changing anything dramatically based on the new Pro's performance.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] TabGuy:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] clouds5:
Lot of negativity here^^ It all comes down to your personal needs, but I would instantly buy it again. It just offers everything I need. Most of my friends have iPads so I've seen what they can do. Ipads have some very nice apps that aren't (yet) available on Android. That is the ONLY upside of the ipad in my opinion.

Lag isn't an issue at all for me (Nova Launcher+root) and there is just soo much you can do with the Note 10.1 where the iPad has very hard limitations. I'm not gonna list them all because it has been listed many times before and it's pretty obvious imho. The iPad is a big sized ipod touch while the Note 10.1 is almost a full PC with pen support.

But if you're just gonna read some news and watch the occasional movie (4:3 screen can be annoying) on your tablet and want something "apple-nice", why not go for the ipad.

If you expect something more from a device like this, something that goes into the direction of laptop replacement, the Note 10. 1 is the way to go. Especially if you like handwriting and sketching.

If you need even more productivity you might wanna look at the Surface2 pro. Or wait for the Surface 3. A collegue of mine has it and he is very happy with it, he does all his IT stuff with it. But it has some downsides (size, weight, battery life, windows).

So for me the tablet world atm comes down to this:

Just4Fun-------------------------------------Productivity

Ipad --------------- Note 10.1 2014 ----------Surface2

For me the note 10.1 is the sweetspot.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Hanson68:
I was looking at a couple of QHD tablets, and the Note was the lightest one with the smallest bezels. I had the Note 2 and almost never used the SPen, so I might have bought an equivalent Galaxy Tab if they had one. As it turns out, I use remote desktop all the time, and the Microsoft Remote Desktop app is hands down the best rdp app... but only if you have a stylus. So I was glad I got the Note after all. And the screen is absolutely gorgeous. With Nova Launcher, there's no lag.

The biggest drawback is so-so battery life that's worsened by the slow charging on the Exynos version. Also, it's a little awkward to hold in portrait mode because of the physical buttons.

If I were shopping for a tablet right now, I would get this or maybe the Note Pro, but probably the 10.1 because of the weight. I might also be inclined to spend even more money on the 4g version for the faster charging Snapdragon supports.

I have zero interest in an iPad, so YMMV.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Itchiee:
Yes I would buy it again, it's one of the best android tablets ever made. The issue is with the Samsung bloat which can be adjusted to your liking. My liking was to remove all the extra things I don't want, will never use, and were stealing resources. I can tell you the new crop of Roms have a much much better kernel which I am using and most of that random microstutter is gone. Buy it and try it, if you don't like it sell it and move on.....

Yes!

I sometimes wonder , How do ipad ios guys survive without a File Manager , Drag and drop data functionality etc that every one is pretty much used to on Windows Pc's .

I love Ios for the look , but its restricting me in quite a few ways and have to find workarounds to do simple PC like tasks .

Anyways , Do any of you guys use the tablet as A Pc ? As on use the file browser .. open files with any program , move files to your desktop from the tablet just like a usb .. or just download some songs .. rt click save as .. etc .

Dropbox is great .. but why keep connecting to the internet everytime when in Android you can save it locally ..

Appart from that the Spen is unique , thats another thing.

I do crib about the stutter n see if it can be made better .. but give up some freedoms for beauty .. just can't do that.

Android is like that rough around the edges clumsy friend but who has a big heart .. imho . :)

If all you want is a consumption device go with one of the Tab Pros or god forbid an Ipad.
