QUOTE(benny888 @ Nov 12 2011, 05:57 PM) for those who doubt, Papago X5 can run : attached screen shots - only issue is the menu hanging in middle Hi Benny,[attachmentid=2532416][attachmentid=2532417] This is the detailed procedure: 1. Download spareparts from market. Launch it - scroll down and untick "Compatibilty Mode". Soft reset phone 2. Select the largest folder, Amend/rename in mnt/ sdcard : Navisea/Organic to 800X1280. For the subfolders CHT, EN, IND, MY - amend/rename the same folder to 800X1280 If you use spareparts I notice the data symbol will only show G, no more E, 3G, H or H+. Also notice the screen not so vibrant anymore... maybe it's my eyes... anyone can confirm this? Which largest folder to modify? Is it 600X1024? CHD, IND and MY folders only have 4 folders with the larget being 480X854... thanks. BTW, if you are thinking to upgrade or not... IMHO, you should do it.. this is the most awesome phone... it's not as huge as I expected it to be... it's really carry-able and definitely can be used as a phone Only one thing to gripe... the call quality is not top-notch, but acceptable.. you just have to make sure u place the speaker correctly to ur ear so the sound can be clearer to you.... alternatively just use bluetooth ear-piece...

what's the largest size microSD card the Note can support?
Which brand is good? Does it has significant difference between high speed and normal microSD card? |

QUOTE(Cynox @ Nov 14 2011, 10:39 AM) btw, the GPS locks scarily FAST!! Test using Papago X5 during the weekend. The GPS locks within 1-2 seconds!! So much faster than my DHD which normally took about 5 minutes or more if i did not use it for a while. Think Samsung must have learn their lesson from the poor GPS in their first gen SGS. +1000... it can even lock when indoors... DAYUM!

QUOTE(hengguowei @ Nov 14 2011, 04:04 PM) Just tried the Galaxy Note at Lowyat and why is it not as smooth as Galaxy S II? I don't own an S2 but this by far is the smoothest android phone I've come across... even my colleagues who own HTC device acknowledged that.... And damn, it's freaking huge. Make the S II look like a baby phone.  Added on November 14, 2011, 4:04 pmAnd Pentile. |

You should be able to press and hold the dock icons and swap them/rearrange out with whatever you wish I wondered the same thing and benny's method works beautifully... thanks sifu benny Added on November 14, 2011, 4:42 pm QUOTE(syedakmal @ Nov 14 2011, 04:35 PM) is there any good apps where u can download videos directly to your phone?

Let me help answer some of your questions :some question need to be clear before i upgrade my s2: 1. battery, how long can Note tahan ? since the 5.3 screen amoled is bigger than s2.? 2. did it difficult to carry when talking to the phone? any ppl found difficult to put in pocket??? 3. did the stylus (the pen) easy to come out??? 4. did Note come out with "white"? thx u for urs to solve my question...^^ 1. so far so good, the batt life i can say it's one of the best.. of course juice defender helps a bit I guess... whole day on 3G (occasional download but whatapps online throughout) morning used from 7am till now about 20% left... i think if u dun on data and wifi, probably can last u 3 days... with normal usage... screnn bigger but the batt also bigger 2200mah 2. Not at all... because it's slim it can easily slot into your slack pants.. jean should be just nice for front pocket.. back pocket should be easily fit.... the weight also feel just nice.. not too ringan like the S2 3. as easy as abc 4. yes... but i tink not available yet in MY |

QUOTE(lovesick_joe @ Nov 14 2011, 02:35 PM) Hi guys... Download and run spareparts + and untick compatible mode..i downloaded Papago x5... the website ask me to download part 1 & part 2. Follow by downloading the map cost 120++mb i copy that file and installed into Note then copy & paste the file. plus rename those file to 800X1280. I think it can use, as i did not copy & paste the part 2 file which still can lauch papago. I wonder what am i missing? Read sifu benny's post at page 59 post #1180 for detailed procedures... or u can refer to his excellent galaxy tab post for much details procedures... it applied the same to the note.... |

QUOTE(KKW @ Nov 15 2011, 12:48 PM) This is my battery usage from yesterday 8am until today 12.30pm This is extremely good but how come your android OS is above 20% and still you can get so good battery life... no widget, no task killer and no juice defender? Still left 20% of battery Usage: 30minute on youtube, 24/7 data on, facebook on, browsing internet, checking mail and play some games.

QUOTE(brainpower @ Nov 15 2011, 12:53 PM) hi waveweaver, regarding the betterbattery you suggested i've downloaded but have no idea how it works. Can teach noobie here? brainpower, 1st thing 1st turn off wifi :Setting > wireless and network > wireless setting > Secondly, i realise my Android OS is utilising more batter % compare to my screen. Any idea/suggestion? My phone can't last me a complete 24 hours with moderate phone call, sms with wifi connected (always on). Any suggestion? Uncheck Network Notification and Wi-Fi Then try again. BetterBatteryStats hard to teach.. u better go here and read all the posts... you will soon get it.. im testing it now as well... 1st day test without modification, fully charged at 10pm, then sleep the phone.. next morning 6am left 90%.. today 2nd day, found out the culprit and am testing tonite... will update tomorrow... also during the sleep time at night the phone is using about 7 to 79ma... which is not right... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 Added on November 15, 2011, 9:01 pm QUOTE(huntedz @ Nov 15 2011, 01:15 PM) mine also same problem =) see above...Added on November 15, 2011, 9:01 pm QUOTE(DarkTenno @ Nov 15 2011, 01:41 PM) guys I saw 2 post about the S-Pen problem, No such problem, update the firmware..."the writing appeared away from the point u touch with the pen" does anyone else have this problem?

QUOTE(nazfaliq @ Nov 15 2011, 07:54 PM) Hmm.. so the Battery in Galaxy Note is good...is it? For my unit :and how about the S-Pen's accuracy? is it good? actually i love this phone of course of its big screen since i am heavy mobile browser and i use GPS a lot.. Still waiting for the official ICS upgrade for Note, waiting for some reviews on the upgrades first then decide whether taking it or not.. i hope this phone will be my 1st android for me can can serve me well just as my nokia 5800 served me well 3 years..^^ In normal circumstances battery is very good.... S-Pen is accurate Same here, I love phone with big screen.... I got a Tab as tablet earlier but it's too big... so check out my fren's Streak.. it's perfect size... then heard about the Note... waited and waited.. finally got it on 11.11.11... Don't wait.. I'm sure you will love it... GPS is super super fast.... This is my first android phone too not counting the tab... and my N95 8GB served me 4 years... it's now a backup Added on November 15, 2011, 9:21 pm QUOTE(waveweaver @ Nov 15 2011, 07:55 PM) It's blue scrolling effect (last time it's bouncing effect). It's like an indicator to tell you, you are at the last page... no need to swipe summore... hehehe Again one of latest Note features. Dont worry :-) Added on November 15, 2011, 9:24 pm QUOTE(DarkTenno @ Nov 15 2011, 08:06 PM) dem really scare of scratching the screen, seriously need screen protector It's a gorilla screen... it would be hard for you to scratch it even if you want it to be scratched This post has been edited by entaro: Nov 15 2011, 09:24 PM |

QUOTE(razin @ Nov 15 2011, 08:10 PM) I am also wondering what is the advantage of rooting.... You get to use Titanium Backup!!! Seriously.. read this : http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Why_Root Basically this should answer it for you : What Do I Lose Having Root The sense that someone else controls your phone The need to sit in an Android chat channel asking how to get root The need for a stupid useless "File Manager" that lets you see filenames but almost nothing else. The ability to have a knowledgeable conversation with a T-Mobile rep about your phone. (Ask one of them to spell root for you)  Added on November 15, 2011, 9:30 pm QUOTE(fit @ Nov 15 2011, 08:26 PM) Just test out latest sygic aura v11.2.1 on my note...running smoothly n the map n layout lot better than papago x5... Confirm.. but I would say the update is slow for certain area.... I worked in Cyberjaya and exit the Cyberjaya/Putrajaya toll from elite everyday... there's no route to Selangor Science Park after the toll in sygic... it's the shortcut to MMU .... maybe cyberjaya still consider ulu place... hahaha Added on November 15, 2011, 9:35 pm QUOTE(Cynox @ Nov 15 2011, 08:52 PM) i am wondering what so great about ICS that hold you back from getting the Note now. When ICS is ready for Note, I am very sure by then Note has already become an outdated model. Note II will be around the corner by then. Then you will need to wait for Jellybean to be on Note II before you buy it. The cycle go on and on and on and on......forever. +1... that's what she says...Just get whatever suited to your usage now. Dun wait for tomorrow.
