[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vocal:
still trying different things as no replies on my post.

when I leave my device connected to PC (switched on as normal but showing only samsung logo) after 5 mins PC says found USB device, device not recognized. then after 5 seconds it disconnects. and it goes in circles. same if I try in bootloader mode, but it stays on samsung logo as well. In DL mode, PC recognizes only composite device and modem.... Any ideas please? I dont want recover data anymore as I think its lost but I would like to unbrick my note2 :(

Did you flash pit file? If not, download it from here http://d-h.st/Dlv

Using ODIN, select the PIT file, and make sure to TICK the Re-partition option.

I hope you already have a stock ROM downloaded. In the PDA tab of ODIN,select that rom and then press start. Wait and pray.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeeshanonlyme:
Are you sure the repartiton option was ticked? I seem to have forgotten whether it should be ticked or not.

Do one thing. After loading the necessary files, tick re partition.

if it fails,

Load all the necessary files and make sure repartition is NOT tickd.Report back.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vocal:
If I choose PIT file, re-partition box is ticked automaticaly. W/o re-partition box ticked, I have message: no binary file selected.

As I mensioned before, In DL mode, my device is not showing model number. Does it matter?

Before I tried all possibilities and suggestions on Win 8 PC, now trying on win 7 and I have more promising results, however I will try on newly installed system just to be sure that drivers and other stuff are ok. I tried different USB cables and different batteries. Still nothing, so hoping new system will help. except, anyone has different idea?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vocal:
Ok, so I have done some research and even if I can put n7100 into DL mode but there is no product name displayed, device needs either new EMMC, or new PCB or JTAG. I will go with JTAG as my first option and will report as it might be usefull for someone in the future

Everytime i press the calendar softkey it defaults to day view, i then have to change it to month view. Checking the calendar later the view will revert to day view. I have tried changing my outlook view on my pc to month view (which is what i have anyway) but this has no affect.

Is there a reg tweak for this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fermin:
yes, there is. I use Agenda Fusion, the app for the week view is \Program Files\Agenda Fusion\FusionViewWeek.exe. This has to go in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open. Don't remember if I had to do a soft reset after changing the value.

:arrow: Be advised: This only works with Agenda Fusion; for other software, use the appropriate path and file name.[/b]
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fermin:
thanks for your help but i thing you have misunderstood my request, i would prefer to continue using the standard calendar that comes pre-installed on the device rather than use a third party app. I just want it to default to month view when i open it.[/quote]

Yes, I understood you. I don't know how the internal calendard handles week and different views; if it's with a different .exe, you can use this solution. Otherwise, try switching to a different view and look at changed settings in the registry.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] s4vva:
that sounds like a good idea, where in the registry would you recommend i look? (i can make changes to the registry but i just dont know where everything is if you know what i mean)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Good tip vijay

If you want to map left softkey to this link - then place link in \windows say 'Calendar Month.lnk'

and then edit registry

HKCU\software\microsoft\today\keys\112\

'open' value name = ''\windows\calendar month.lnk''

and soft reset
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Calendar month view cab

Always have month view appear when you press calendar softkey

I put together a cab that will automatically do this for you.

Install and soft reset

also included are day view or agenda view versions - unzip to find the cab
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] stmasi:
So...

Does that mean there is NOT a reg tweak we can implement? I would rather the calendar ALWAYS open to month view no matter how I load the calendar.

Thanx.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Yes there is a reg tweak and it is detailed above - the cab does the reg tweak and installs a lnk file so it always opens on month view on softkey use but not on today calendar tapping. Is that what you wanted as well?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dma97701:
Yes.

In fact, I'm not at all interested in the softkey approach. I am just wanting a reg tweak that will force the calendar (no matter how I get to it) to default to the month view.

Thanx.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
dma97701: There's no global override in the registry.

First, understand the idea: to launch the calendar, the OS runs PocketOutlook, with a command line "calendar", thus

poutlook.exe calendar

To force this to launch in month view, you need to launch

poutlook.exe calendar -vm

Now, you need to edit this wherever you want to launch the calendar from - whether that's a today screen launcher, start menu, soft key, hardware key, whatever. There's no global override in the registry.

So, to do this for the start menu, find your "Calendar.lnk" file and edit the properties of the shortcut, using a good fileexplorer like GSFinder.

To do this for the softkeys, do the above anyway, and then point the registry key

HKCU\software\microsoft\today\keys\112\

to the above Calendar.lnk.

If you JUST want the softkey method, use Mark's enclosed cab file, which will do the whole thing for you if you're uncomfortable with editing the registry.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tj80:
Odd!!

I have the opposite problem! When I press the Calendar softkey it defaults to Month view - I actually want it to default to Agenda. If I tap the Today screen directly it stays in whatever view I last had Calendar in. Maybe the firmware affects how the softkey functions? I'm using the latest T-Mobile UK ROM.

Any ideas how I can set the softkey to open in Agenda view?

Cheers,

Tim

poutlook.exe calendar -va

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tj80:
Shortcut does nothing??

Thanks for the reply. If I create a shortcut to "\Windows\poutlook.exe calendar -vm" or even just "\Windows\poutlook.exe calendar" it doesn't do anything at all. If I just create a shortcut to "poutlook.exe" it does nothing, but at least explorer recognises it as a shortcut (which it doesn't if I have any parameters after the exe at all).

I'm using Total Commander to edit the shortcut and have tried putting it in quote marks, putting the Windows folder in the path, leaving out "calendar", putting it in, adding a dash (poutlook.exe -calendar) and nothing's working! What am I doing wrong?

Thanks again,

Tim
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
In GSFinder it looks like this:

"poutlook" calendar -va

opening it directly in Notepad, your .lnk should look like this:

27#"poutlook.exe" calendar -va

V
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Dave...:
On mine if I start the calendar with either the soft key or the hard key

and it defaults to whatever view is set in the menu.

Startup calendar, in the bottom right of the screen click on MENU/VIEW

and choose the view you want ie: Month,Agenda etc.

On mine it sticks to that view even after a reset.

Dave...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tj80:
Working!

Brilliant, thanks everyone. The problem was that I hadn't put quote marks around the exe. Changed the shortcut and set the registry key and it works perfectly! Interestingly, the softkey was preset to use something called "HTCCalendar.exe" in \Windows - and that's what always defaults to the Month view.

Cheers,

Tim

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SHC:
I have a MDA Vario II. I want the left soft tab to open agenda view. I have tried the suggestions here with no luck.

The Calendar shortcut in Windows looks like this:

28#:MSCALENDAR?outres.dll-10002.

Reg key....112...\Windows\LSK\HTCCalendar.exe

I can edit them as per instructions here and all the calendar items open ok except the left soft key which says "Calendar.ink cannot be found".

Any further advice would be appreciated.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hanmin:
It seems that your left soft key is pointing at "\Windows\LSK\HTCCalendar.exe". What does this file do? Try running this file on your File Explorer and see if it works. If not, try to point this to any of your Calendar items that you said is working.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SHC:
Thanks for reply.

The left soft key registry entry opens the Calendar in Month view.

I've followed the advice here but cannot seem to get them to work. This entry does not seem to point to the same place as the other shortcuts (they seem to use a different shortcut to get to the same place).

In fact, in Windows I have 2 shortcuts, the one listed in previous post - which I can edit using Resco and another which I can't edit at all. If I edit the editable one using the advice in this thread, then the left soft key doesn't work but the other shortcuts still do as before. It's baffling me.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SHC:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Oh sorry misunderstood you - here is a cab that always opens in day or agenda view

Unzip to find the cab - install then soft reset

EDIT the syntax to get day view is -vd, to get agenda view -va : I think you omitted to make the link file and put it into the \windows directory.

I think we can all agree after seeing this video that once the single speaker ringing thing is fixed,

there will be no issues with ringer volume whatsoever :D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kkk516o52-E
[Xperia Z2 General] solwretep:
Whats good about it? Microphone isn't even pointing in the same direction. Also, his voice or silence is captured in the averaging of the volume - which actually renders his test invalid.

Even if numbers were accurate (throught that iPhone mic) 3 dB difference is huge since its a logarithmic scale.

Also, he is talking about audio quality which has nothing to do with audio amplitude which is what he is trying to measure.
[Xperia Z2 General] SolidR53:
Are you crazy, he is using a Zoom H6 (http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/h6/) with stereo microphone.

It features a complete audio quality meter, this is absolutely a valid test.
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
The OP talks of ringtone volume, so according to the test Z2 definitely is louder. At least on the chart.
[Xperia Z2 General] solwretep:
No its still not a valid test. He doesnt point the mic in the same direction towards the speakers. And also the distance is different. And thirdly he is averaging over a timeframe in which there is silence or talk. The test doesnt say anything. And what does this have to do with ringtones?

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

The Z2 is louder than what?

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

Are you guys kidding me? If this was a middle-grade school laboratory test the teacher would cry...
[Xperia Z2 General] SolidR53:
This is the microphone, its stereo, so its average pointing direction is straight forward.

His talk is added after the video recording... and I find the distance to be about the same, but if they don't, its certainly an invalid test for sure, but you are assuming here.

Still a valid test.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

What kind of internet troll are you?
[Xperia Z2 General] solwretep:
Its obvious that that mic-pair is very sensitive to where it points. I bet you move that mic 10 degrees and you get a completely different result. Amplitude of sound drops as 1/R^2. He is keeping the mic way to close to the phones as a small change in distance will have a huge impact on amplitude. Put those mics two meters away and you will have a much better comparison.

This test was performed by an amateur with cool gadgets and it says nothing. And by nothing I mean NOTHING.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------

1.) If you average something using just 2 data points you are getting rubbish

2.) They are directional microphones. Otherwise you wouldn't record stereo properly. As such, you have to take the distance along the trajectory of the mic, and not the shortest distance from the housing of the mic (if so, you would have been correct).
[Xperia Z2 General] g4rvd4:
Yeah, I've to agree here that the test is not scientific at all. And the thing about unscientific experiments is that results are inconclusive and can be interpreted either way.

The one thing he could have done to make this perfect was to keep the microphone apparatus in a fixed location and position about 1 meter away from a phone stand, on which the phones should be mounted one by one.

Exactly my point. Thank you.

I've made sure that Windows Firewall is off so it's not blocking the app.

Is there an issue with Nokia's servers or am I just doing something wrong?
