QUOTE(getajob @ Mar 16 2012, 06:23 PM) As recommend by Uncle Benny, MIDNOTE ICS is most compatible with Abyss Kernel 3.9... =) i hope this answer can confirm u... =) wrong info dude. Abyss Kernel is flashed just to enable you to flash MidNote ICS. You CANNOT flash Abyss 3.9 then reboot MidNote ICS ROM, it will HANG!!! there is no custom kernel yet for ICS ROM on Note yet, so dun even try!!

QUOTE(Duckies @ Mar 16 2012, 11:25 PM) Damn how to import contacts from my old sony ericsson to note??MyPhoneExplorer not working for me  google is your best friend. I believe there is certainly a way - maybe export your SE contact to a standard format like CSV and import it into your gmail account. HTC has a very good transfer program which not only transfer contacts but also all the sms from SE to HTC phones. My wife manage to transfer all the contacts and SMS flawlessly from her old SE750i to the HTC Desire I pass to her. I am not so fortunate though, coz that transfer program can't recognise my Palm 680.  So googled around and found some ways to export the contact from the Palm and import back to Gmail via computer. But all the sms gone.

QUOTE(razin @ Mar 17 2012, 09:47 AM) wow.. nice, hopefully XDA will get a custom rom adapted to it soon. If it reduce the lag, i might go back to GB. Although ICS ROM is smooth and fast but the non display of CallerID on my set really tearing my hair off. QUOTE(alvinwh @ Mar 17 2012, 10:49 AM) guys.. i wan to know any diff between ap note and sme note except the warranty by both party? would it effect when rooting or software diff? most likely no difference but you dunno the source of the AP. But AP set cheaper by a lot? if I were you, i will pay for the warranty. I only buy "AP" phone on my own, i.e. i crossover to Singapore to get a singapore local set if it is cheaper there.

QUOTE(alvinwh @ Mar 17 2012, 11:23 AM) if 200-300 difference not worth at all. but of course if you are looking only for the white colour then it is personal preference, price difference is not relevant. any previous white galaxy S or S II owner here? I am just wondering whether white colour set will turn yellowish or not after some time - like 2 years? Might get a white S III for my wife for her birthday present end of this year but i am quite concern of the potential yellowish problem. The HTC desire i pass to her seems not able to catch up anymore. Play Cut the rope on it and it will lag.

QUOTE(AMDunFreak @ Mar 18 2012, 11:08 AM) last night went to shopping mall and have some hands-on experience on galaxy tab 7.7... it doesn't feel smooth compare to my note on ginger bread... probably overloaded with many apps... i tested the demo set too, very smooth and fast. Very tempted to get, waiting for the price to drop further but Google Asus is planning a 7" tablet too, so might wait and see. Not urgently looking for a tablet coz my Note can act as one now.  BTW, downloading MidNote 1.6 GB with LC1 now. Will revert back to GB ROM till the callerID problem solve on ICS leaked rom or until the official ROM released by Samsung. No luck of CallerID in my Note with ICS ROM...sigh... This post has been edited by Cynox: Mar 18 2012, 11:25 AM

QUOTE(Damonzero @ Mar 18 2012, 07:21 PM) Today kindna free and use it to play game, the game is Lair Defense, not HD and just a normal tower defense. Bright Level set to lowest, Low sound, 3G and wifi and unnecessary background apps off and guess what? It only last less than 2 hours when the battery hit 15% from 95%. Quite disappointed at the battery performance. I know the screen is big and need more juice to run it but whats the point if u want to enjoy the device but constantly need to worry the battery level, buy extra battery, charger at office, car etc... Hmm... i think it is just norm among Android phone, maybe iphone too but since i din have an iphone before, i will not comment on it. My previous HTC Desire and Desire HD also won't last too long if playing games constantly on it. If you want to enjoy the device, go get some power for it, it needs energy too.  Do you expect yourself to run marathon for 2 hours and dun feel exhausted?

QUOTE(lhooipg @ Mar 19 2012, 11:36 AM) Hi guys, Just want to confirm, is G.Note only support FAT32 file system? NTFS cannot support? I mean for USB tumb drive....tks... yes, NTFS not supported unless you do some mod. Btw, i just revert back to basic stock LC1 Rom.  But it does seems much smoother and responsive than previous GB ROM. @JET: My screen can rotate both way in landscape, on GB LC1 ROM.

QUOTE(jjamain @ Mar 19 2012, 11:54 AM) Thank you uncle benny..you had successfully convince me to flash ics DONE 1. WIFI-OK 2. Camera-OK 3. Camera Video-OK 4. S-PEN-OK 5. Keyboard-OK 6. Phone-OK 7. Caller ID-OK but a bit slow in performance but have the ICS experince. make me so jealous.  My Note just refused to display CallerID on ICS ROM no matter what I tried. but how can it be slow? Because of the slow CPU speed? I feel ICS ROM is still much smoother and more responsive compared to GB ROM, even the latest LC1 also can't fight.

QUOTE(jjamain @ Mar 20 2012, 08:16 AM) Save if you type the url on your own and not click from email or elsewhere. Check the url and it should be https he is asking about the app. There is a Maybank app in the Market..opps.. Google Play. Not accessing the M2U web site via browser. yes, me and my wife did use that app, seems safe. But we dun have much money in internet-link account anyway. Normally bank in the fund, transfer them to pay bills and credit card immediately, just left few hundreds or less for daily use. Although Internet banking should be quite safe if you follow the strict discipline but no system is hack-proof, so i rather play safe.

QUOTE(jasonkhoo87 @ Mar 21 2012, 09:06 AM) ok. thanks for replying.im asking because i read from previous post that galaxy note need to avoid from magnetic thing. It will cause the pen feature fail to function. but if you have not get a magnetic case, why risk it? Just get a non-magnetic type for peace of mind.

QUOTE(benny888 @ Mar 21 2012, 09:30 AM) In page 180 of the online manual : • Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow your device to come in contact with magnetic fields for extended periods of time.So is your choice to follow or just ignore the manufacturer's instruction wow... Uncle Benny is really Android encyclopedia. QUOTE(benny888 @ Mar 21 2012, 09:34 AM) You can only run one launcher at any one time. Other launchers are disabled You can hold down power button and you will have option to disabled data network can use more than 1 launcher just a bit leceh. when you press the middle button, need to select which launcher to use everytime if you din specific a default launcher. I am using a SGP book type - non-magnetic. Very slim and compact.

QUOTE(vin39 @ Mar 21 2012, 09:47 AM) RM196 with postage - bought from kirra0820 @garage. QUOTE(benny888 @ Mar 21 2012, 09:49 AM) I am not encyclopedia . The first thing which I always do before buying any smartphone/tablet/Mac is to download and read the manual first . So by the time I get the phone I already know most of the stuffs on how to use it You will be surprised many stuffs /features you did not know exist. It is a simple step , anyone can do it but I find most users do not bother and prefer to be spoonfeed everytime they have any issue when most of the time answers are already in the manual You can easily download the manual here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/...1104_Screen.pdfyes, i also have the same habit, download user guide and read thru thoroughly before i got the actual device on hand. But i admit somehow i din go thru the whole Note's user guide coz have been quite familiar with Android. And the fact that i got the device on day 1 make reading the user guide less "important". yes, i find it annoying too when some one asking some basic questions here which the answer can be easily found in the manual/user guide.

QUOTE(MR_alien @ Mar 21 2012, 12:56 PM) 1 friend of mine...just got SGN...seem to be alot of problems...problem with ads on notification and messaging section native camera apps crash with the angry bird apps is your friend's one a brand new sealed set? or a display set that being "molested" by the shopkeeper? is he running custom rom or stock rom? I did get these pesky annoying ads after i flashed certain version of custom ROM, can't remember which one but not all custom ROM will have this problem. iirc, stock rom does not have this problem. for me, the only way to get rid of it is to flash another ROM. Others may have a better solution. This post has been edited by Cynox: Mar 21 2012, 01:48 PM

QUOTE(KNRY @ Mar 21 2012, 04:32 PM) Yes caller ID is working. Flashed with GAPPS that was released 4th March. Had a problem with importing contacts via saved vcf file. Also problem syncing calendar. Ended up using KIES to sync with outlook to import contacts and calendar. previously not saving your contacts to google/gmail? why need to import? thanks for the info.

QUOTE(benny888 @ Mar 22 2012, 12:29 PM) I read your blog - i think is your flashing method - you must start with a clean Chinese leak and install latest gapps datedc 4 march; my comments on your NOT OK after using Midnote more than a week already NOT OK: NEVER happens at all to me ALL your listed cases: it is indeede cstrange you faced such issues -Sometime fail to run phone and contacts app. Have to use GoPhone and GoContact : I use default app never use these go apps -Dolphin Browser HD freeze if you type on the address bar too fast. -Fail to run My files due to Internal Storage Error Message. Scary man. -Message received with no Sound notification -Lock screen sometime freeze and have to wait -Nova Launcher frequently crash and re-startfor the record, i also did not have those problems on MidNote ICS 2.0. It is actually running smooth and fast without any problem on my Note, except that somehow my Note just refuse to display CallerID for me. maybe every Note is unique and thus has unique "personality and issue".
