icon_rolleyes.gifLINK:My little post about non-verbal communication

With the kind permission of XeactorZ, the TS of S3 thread, I reproduce some content which is relevant for us as well since both the Note 2 and S3 share a lot of similarities.


1. Strictly no discussions on warez/cracks or pirated apps. Please keep the thread CLEAN from such illegal stuff
2. Do NOT ask for links to such apps or links to get free apps which need to be paid for
3. Do NOT post links or references to such sites that promote downloads of pirated, cracked, warez apps
4. Any requests or demands for apps specified under points 1 to 3 will be outright ignored and will attract warning and suspensions from the mods. The community will help in the policing.
5. Please be civil and polite in your posts. Saying "Please" goes a long way.
6. Posts / assistance given in this thread are on a voluntary basis by the members and please respect that.
7. Readers are advised to try out any suggestions at their own risk.
8. Learn to use "Search Topic" at bottom left of each page before asking. Do not blame others if you don't know how to form a search term.

9. Read the first page if you have a question. Then read for 10 pages, AND the last 10 pages of a thread BEFORE YOU ASK ANYTHING.
10. READ UP THE BASICS BEFORE YOU START ASKING HERE!! BASIC QUESTIONS WILL BE POLITELY DIRECTED TO PAGE 1, or not so politely directed elsewhere...
*However, if, after reading Page 1, the first and last 10 pages, or simply lurking, has helped you solve your problem, it will be appreciated if you can post a "Thank you" in the forum since we do not have a "Like" button or "Thanks" button*

General Overview, Key Features

Launched in Malaysia 11th October, 2012. In stores from 19th October,2012 thumbup.gif

Malaysia has the N7100 model by Samsung Malaysia Electronics (SME). The N7105 LTE model may be obtained from other importers but LTE coverage is very limited as of now (Q1 2013). There is also a dual-sim model (N7102) available in selected markets.

UPDATE (2013-05-28): The LTE N7105 by SME has been approved by SIRIM. Arrival may be imminent. credits bingozero.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Latest firmware for Malaysia: N7100XXDMF2_N7100OLBDMD2_XME Android 4.1.2, Week 3, Jun 2013.

You may also get an "Access to the software update service..." message like in the pic link below. This just means that the Samsung update server is full. Try again at another time. Patience is virtue.

Access to the software update service screenshot

Samsung does not provide any meaningful changelogs. SO NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HAS CHANGED COMPARED TO THE LAST VERSION(s).

For those who already know how to flash: Download official firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ - login first.

You will download a zip file. Unzip it for the tar file to be used for flashing

A word about the terms "AP" and "Ori" (not the best choice of terms, but this is Bolehland blush.gif )
A real Samsung (or any manufacturer's) device is Original whether it's SME or AP. We get our terminology confused due to the use of the term "AP" here whereas the correct term is "Parallel Import" or "Grey Market". And again due to the proliferation of counterfeit goods in this part of the world, the term "original" is also misappropriated to denote "Genuine".

SME vs AP is simply a matter of distribution channel for a Genuine product. You can also get "original" counterfeits since it comes directly from the manufacturer of said counterfeit.

From Merriam-Webster:
Definition of COUNTERFEIT
1: made in imitation of something else with intent to deceive => LYN's historical topic on the subject - AP, Ori, Water

Or perhaps more politely, "unbranded clones"

QUOTE(fruitie @ Apr 25 2013, 10:15 PM)
Yoobao, it shows original. Yes but it has different messages to show if it's original Powerbank.

Most of the time, those fellows buy cheap Yoobao accessories like screen protector and peel out the stickers and put on their fake Yoobao. So when you check warranty n it will show original but actually it's original for the screen protector not your Powerbank.

Powerbank's original message slightly differs.

I'm on mobile now. Let me go back home and check out more info for you guys.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Apr 25 2013, 10:55 PM)
As promised in my previous post, these are the two different authentication messages. Credit to mirrorstore, one of the original Powerbank sellers on LYN.

However only in Chinese characters, so for non-Chinese readers, you better compare yours with these messages. Check it from this website: http://www.sz12365.net

1) Original YooBao PowerBank's authentication message:
您所购买的是深圳市锐讯天成科技有限公司生产的羽博正品产品,敬请放心购买使用!谢谢!
商品品牌 : YOOBAO
商品归属公司 : 深圳市锐讯天成科技有限公司

2) Use other original Yoobao's accessories' code. The message:
您所购买的是深圳市锐讯天成科技有限公司生产的YOOBAO羽博正品保护类专用品牌YOOBAO羽博正品保护类专用,感谢您对深圳市锐讯天成科技有限公司产品的支持!

The easiest way to check is verify your warranty from this link: http://www.yoobao.com/defend.asp, make sure the message is same as no. 1.

http://www.sz12365.net also can be used to check for other brands' warranty, so it is better to use Yoobao's own verifier. smile.gif

Note 2 Basic Operations and Common Issues
==============================================================

XDA site for Galaxy Note II (N7100 and N7105)
Samsung Galaxy Note II - N7100 and N7105
XDA has 2 threads for Development (ie ROMs, kernels etc) discussions.
The one called Android Development deals with ROMs/kernels/tweaks etc that are "cooked" ie modified from STOCK.
The one called Android Original Development deals with ROMS/kernels/tweaks etc that are built from scratch (AOSP/AOKP) or are entirely original in their approach.
Note that AOSP/AOKP does not fully support all Exynos features as Samsung has sadly not released the full details of the Exynos processor to the dev community.

Galaxy Charging Current (GCC)
LINK:The original XDA thread describing what it does (from S3 thread)
LINK:The other XDA thread describing it in the Note 2 thread
Get it from here: LINK:GalaxyChargingCurrent APK

This is the best way of detecting incoming charge current for your Galaxy Note 2 (also works on the S3). It does not seem to work on other devices. It reads a file here /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_avg
This provides an objective method to compare charging variances, and will help to narrow down slow charging issues. Very often it is the cable, or a combination of a lousy charger with the cable. The Note needs a charger that outputs at least 1.5A (with GCC readings of 1400 and above) for good charging speeds.

After extensive testing by forumers, and most notably brotan, good chargers output 1500 and above. brotan has a supply of DUAL USB, DUAL 2A output chargers that have been tested working by several forumers. He also has original cables that can carry 2A current properly.

Read brotan's extensive writeup on batteries and charging - brotan

If you experience slow charging (ie normal is 2+ hours, anything longer than 3 hours is slow)
Posted by sai86 from an XDA post, v22/2094
QUOTE
I knew something was wrong when it took my phone 6 hours to charge from 22% to fully charged on the stock kernel, so I had my carrier swap my data cable. Swapping the data cable didn't fix the random slow charging issue. If you view the battery stats under settings, your phone will indicate what kind of source it's getting its charge from. I discovered sometimes when you plug your phone in via the stock travel AC adapter, your phone detects it as a USB port. It's not the charger that is the problem, but how Sammy designed the charger port or an error during the assembly process. I found a work around to avoid the phone thinking it's being plugged into a USB port. Once I initially lineup the data cable with the charger port, very very gently push down on the data cable as you fully insert it into the charger port. If you don't do so, it's usually a hit or miss when it comes down to what the phone will detect between AC and USB mode. This is the first phone that I own that seems to have this issue. Every since I've figured out what's been happening, I've been able without fail to avoid the slow charging issue.
Note: Use GCC whenever you plug in and you can determine immediately whether it is charging as AC or USB. USB will show a reading of 460 only. Re-insert your cable until it reads above 1000.

Introduction to Rooting - Part 1 - TheoryMuch of this post is compiled and written up by me based on reviews of various sources around the net and other sections of LYN. Sources and Contributors are duly acknowledged. If you wish to reproduce this writeup please PM me that you are doing so and acknowledge me as well. Thanks.

A bit of evangelism before we begin:
10 reasons why Android is still better than iOS - AndroidAuthority - 2013-01-17
Read the comments for a feel of what people think after having read the article.

Since we're actually going to discuss rooting, here is an article for you to understand why your phone is not supplied rooted out of the box:
Why Doesn’t Android Come Rooted? - 2013-03-12

So now let us begin.

A very very brief description of phone architecture: portions of writeup credits to antt00 for clarification

The table shows components of the architecture from bottom to top. At the lowest level you have the physical hardware, then upwards you have the firmware and the rest. The userland is where the User (you) interact with the hardware using the programs/apps you installed.

I'm writing this because you are holding a portable COMPUTER that has phone capabilities. So you should treat your device like a COMPUTER first, and a phone and/or camera second. See this:LINK:Smartphones are the PCs of the future

A "ROM" typically contains a kernel, a radio (some have several you can choose from) and the userland. Some ROMs do not contain a kernel or you can elect not to install its default kernel and use the one you currently have.
I provide a link further down this writeup to the Cyanogenmod wiki for a further explanation.

The Baseband or Radio contains settings to connect to the transmission towers, while the CSC contains settings specific to your mobile operator in the APN list (eg Maxis 3G, Maxis Streaming, Celcom 3G/2G etc)

Component Changeable?Description
Rest of ROM (userland)
Y
eg monx, Alliance, Phoenix (usually "ROMS" include the kernel and radio as well)
Kernel
Y
The Kernel is a low level component that handles management of the hardware. It exists in all Operating Systems like Linux, Windows, OSX etc. Android is based on Linux, and Google has been cooperating with the Linux community to merge kernel development effort. eg Abyss, Perseus, Redpill
CSC (Carrier/Country Specific Code
Y
CSC settings include the APN (Access Point Names) list for your region's telco settings. It provides some parameters for your specific telco (eg Maxis 3G, Celcom 3G, Maxis Streaming etc). Some ROMs contain multiple CSCs for more region support. You typically do not mess with this otherwise you will not be able to access the data network.
Baseband (also known as Radio)
Y
The radio handles your phone's hardware communications with the telco network. It simply allows your device to fulfill its phone function. eg DLK5, DLK7. Some apps allow you to change the network parameters used. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS unless you REALLY KNOW what you are doing!
Recovery
Y
The Recovery allows you to perform some functions like flashing mods and ROMs. It is the lowest level component that the user can interact with. eg CWM, Philztouch, TWRP LINK:What is CWM (explains about CWM, but applicable to any Custom Recovery)
Firmware begins:Bootloader
Y
This starts the phone booting process when you press the power button. It is also the location of flash counter. Triangle Away changes values here. The bootloader is UNLOCKED. However, there are no custom bootloaders yet for the Note 2.
Hardware (components)
N
Screen, Battery, the stuff you can touch

Of course someone like AdamOutler (on XDA) can mod the HARDWARE. That guy is a real guru.

You CAN mix and match components marked "Y" from different countries, kernel, ROMs etc. It's fine, although some Radio versions may give you reduced signal performance.

A note about CPU, RAM, ROM and "Storage"
Think about you sitting at a desk with drawers. You are the CPU. The RAM is like your desk space. The larger your RAM or desk space, the more stuff you can work on at a time. But then of course, the more you work on, the more "you" is needed ie multi-core CPUs. Storage is like your drawers. The larger your drawers (storage) the more stuff you can store (your mp3s, mp4s, pdfs etc).

ROM, in this case, is technically "Read Only Memory". It is like the master plate used in printing, or perhaps a DVD. You can deface, tear or crumple your printout but you can always get a fresh printout by stamping from the master plate. So the ROM is actually a master plate or clean slate you can revert to if you have problems with FCs (forced closes) or random problems with your phone. You get the clean slate by performing a Factory Reset.

In your phone, the ROM resides on an area of Storage that is accessible by the Recovery. In the early days, a ROM was a physical chip that you replaced or re-flashed with special hardware. Nowadays everything is highly integrated.

Some additional clarification from Cyanogenmod if you're still not satisfied with the writeup here.

Now you can begin.

Rooting for Beginners - some general explanations and understanding

The simple, non-sexy, non-flashy, techie answer: root gives you administrator (ie God) access to your device.
Root DOES NOT change your phone in any other way. No speed-ups, no slowdowns, no other changes or magic. But it OPENS THE DOOR to magic icon_rolleyes.gif

Other answers using different metaphors:
Easiest Explanation EVER To Explain Root Vs Jailbreak
Think of it like the Matrix: Jailbreaking is comparable to what Morpheus could do. He could bend the rules of the system to overcome certain restrictions, but was still bound to its rules. Rooting is what Neo could do. Not only could he bend the rules, he could completely break them


LINK:Difference between ios Jailbreaking and Android Rooting
an excerpt:
Now while IOS users might consider jailbreaking their iPhone the same thing as Android users rooting their Android phones, there is a HUGE difference. In fact, you can't even compare jailbreaking to rooting, and here's why.
Android out of the box allows users to install 3rd party apps (also known as sideloading), already allows you to install themes, and even allows you to install applications directly from your SD card or internal memory of your device. Everything that IOS users hope to accomplish with jailbreaking their device is already included as basic functionality within Android.

LINK:Another article explaining Rooting from Android Authority

Does Rooting Void warranty?
For Samsung phones, it's a yes and no answer. From the terms and conditions, rooting/flashing will void your warranty, but Samsung Malaysia is not strict about this. So far there have not been cases of Samsung rejecting rooted phones, but please be prudent and perform a Triangle Away counter reset and flash stock firmware before turning in your phone for warranty.

If you live in the USA, rooting (of phones only) is legal as proclaimed by the Librarian of Congress, so you shouldn't have any issues with warranty. The US legal system has not clearly defined what a "tablet" is, so you can't root tablets. We don't know the case for "phablets" laugh.gif

Can rooting damage your phone?
It is a one in a million chance. If you are afraid of this slim chance, don't root.
This usually happens due to PEBKAC issues. Therefore, if you are prone to PEBKAC, do not proceed. Please google PEBKAC for your OWN UNDERSTANDING AND PROTECTION.
If you do not suffer from PEBKAC, then please ensure 1 very important thing: your download is NOT corrupt. For Windows, use this tool: HashTab by implbits
Make sure that your file MD5 matches the one from the host site. If the MD5 matches, your download is clean, and you may proceed.

There may be cases where you will not have the MD5 from the host site. If that is the case, use this tool: http://www.7-zip.org/
Install it. Select default options, and then run "Test archive" from the right click menu. Passing the test will give you a good indication your download is not corrupt.

What is the Flash Counter and Triangle Away?
There is a counter in the phone that checks for flashing of custom ROMs. If you have flashed a custom kernel or ROM, the counter will increase. When you get into Download mode, it will show that the counter has increased. This tells Samsung that you have modified with your phone.
You can reset this counter by using Triangle Away.

What is this about "locked bootloaders" ?
As you have seen from the writeup above, the bootloader starts your device. In Samsung, it also contains some checking code to determine whether you have a modified recovery and/or kernel. However, Samsung did not lock down the bootloader. A locked down bootloader means you can't root, can't change recovery, kernel or ROM. We all fervently hope Samsung continues in this fine tradition.

Now, other manufacturers practice bootloader locking as a so-called "security measure" to protect, ostensibly, the user. See link above about why your phone is not rooted out of the box. Here is a link to a post by an XDA forumer about bootloaders for Samsung, HTC and Sony.

Also see this post (2013-03-08) by DooMLoRD, a recognized XDA developer, on his steps for unlocking the Sony bootloader. Warnings quoted from his post :
QUOTE
Quote:
For Xperia™ devices released 2013 or later (for example Xperia™ Z and Xperia™ ZL), the SD card of your device will be formatted and you will lose all content (for example photos, music, videos) when you unlock the boot loader.
DRM keys WILL be lost forever

So we should thank Samsung for being more mod-friendly than the other manufacturers.

Introduction to Rooting - Part 2 - Procedures and Tools
BEFORE YOU PROCEED: ONE OF THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


So why do you want to flash a Custom ROM?

The LAST, and optional, link reiterating the same things discussed in this post. Read it if you wish, the last bit on troubleshooting is good information.
DroidViews - Things to Do Before and After Installing a Custom ROM + Troubleshooter - 2013-03-23

Rooting requires that you get your phone into Download Mode:

Getting into Download Mode
Download mode is how Samsung's official flashing software, Odin (Windows pc-based), talks to your phone.

Press Power + VOL Down + Home buttons simultaneously while the phone is off.

How does "Official" (ie unrooted stock ROM) Status look like in Download mode - tot31
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


After you're done rooting and flashed an appropriate Recovery, you can get into Recovery Mode for :
1. Flashing ROMs (rooted stock, custom ROMs, mods)
2. Performing system wipes
3. Performing "Nandroid" backups

Stock Recovery only allows you to perform system wipes.

Getting into Recovery Mode
Press Power + VOL Up + Home buttons simultaneously while the phone is off.
If you have difficulty getting into Recovery mode, > LINK:try this

GL to SD (root) - to move your large apps to SD Card
Get huge games to external SD and work fine.
So you can easily move the game data files to external SD card and solve the problems that internal SD space is too small or slow.It also applies to other games data to external SD,

If, after you have done the internal/external swap, and wish to revert back to unswapped state, DO NOT DELETE your init.d folder. See series of posts discussing this problem:

Most Popular ListsThis post will contain results of polls and surveys on ROM usage, Kernel usage etc.

Polls here will show Top 3 items monthly in the Summary Tables.

The reason this was made was after many questions about "Which is the best ROM/Kernel" etc. Now I know that this is usually a subjective response, and reading XDA will show you that each ROM thread's users say "OMG this is the best ROM" and so forth.

I thought that making this survey (now in its 3rd version and integrates ROM and Kernel ratings) will improve the situation by giving each ROM and Kernel a numeric score, and also a rating for Screen On Time. This allows an at-a-glance view and attempts to show the aggregate results of what others have experienced of a ROM.

This then would at least give those intending to try a ROM/kernel an indication of how the experience will be like.

==============================================================

Grand Integrated ROM & Kernel Usage Survey

** VERSION 3 AVAILABLE** (2013-06-03)

You may submit as many entries as you wish. Data will be reset monthly.

You may submit multiple entries for all the different ROMs, and VERSIONS you have tried.

ROM Score Table - sortable !!!

May 2013
May saw version 2 of the survey, and attempted to fix the issue with bulk submission. It resulted in a feature scoring system whereby a ROM will get a score from 1 to 5 for 9 scored features. This provided a more granular insight, AND it allowed scoring individual versions of a ROM to show proper data.
This chart shows how the ROMs scored, and the highest dots are the highest ranked ones:

Highest ranked by scores were:
Assassin 6.0 (score:42.61, count:49)
BoBCaTROM 8.0 (score:42.00, count:25)
PhoeniX 11.0 (score 41.00, count:21)


April 2013
April was the first version of the survey and merely showed a count of entries. This left the results open to bulk submissions skewing the results, however it was the first time we could see an aggregate result, and here they are:

Useful Applications and TutorialsOne piece of advice. PLEASE CHECK APP PERMISSIONS BEFORE INSTALLING. An app should not have permissions beyond what its stated functionality should be. For example, a Wallpaper app should have NO PERMISSIONS. A Launcher will naturally have access to permissions for Calling and SMS and Phone Hardware (vibrate settings etc).

If you install MyHotSexyGirlLiveWallpaper with access to Calls, Network Status and SMS, then .... whistling.gif

LINK:About Mobile Antivirus - 2013-04-18
Excerpt:
QUOTE
Semantics of Fear
Applications claiming to be “antivirus” are merely detecting what has the potential to be malware, something that a developer of an application may have snuck into the software code that is meant to steal data or interact with the device in such a way as to cause it to send premium SMS messages at the victim’s expense. This is more correctly defined as being a Trojan or form of spyware, but given the years of conditioning by security firms “Virus” sounds a lot scarier.

Common Senseless
Although these detection capabilities may be marginally useful to the end user, they do not by any stretch of the imagination fit the definition of an “antivirus” or replace common sense – that is to say, being cautious about which applications you download and then carefully reviewing the permissions for each application if you do install it.

Does that “Barney Wallpaper” app you download really need access to your contacts, call history and location?


For lots of Android Apps, please camp here:
XDA:Android Development and Hacking > Android Software Development

LINK:Here is another link - Makeuseof Best Android Apps

Reddit has 2 megaposts listing apps created by devs on Reddit. You may sort by "New" for a better view:
Reddit's Apps Repository Part 1
Reddit's Apps Repository Part 2

Another Reddit post listing "apps you can't live without"
What are the apps that you discovered and now you can't live without it?

You may share your findings of new toys in the thread. I will add worthwhile app links here.

I have a thing for statistics, so I've made this table for my own viewing pleasure. Others may also find it useful, educational or entertaining.

Legend:
Version is self explanatory.
Started is the Start date of the thread, and Ended is the day the thread was closed. All formats are YYYY-MM-DD.
Total Days counts the total number of days between the start and end days of a thread.
Total Posts is self explanatory.
Total Views is an incremental number tracked by LYN whenever someone views a thread, so even though the thread is closed, if someone views it, the number will still increment.

Hence the Statistic Last Retrieved column shows when the Total Views number was logged.

The Note series is made for productivity and business use, thus the S-pen and larger size.

If you can handle the larger size, and don't want to wait, then get a Note 2.

If you think anything more than 5" is too big, get an S4.

If you can wait, then wait for a Note 3, which is expected to be 6".

Do read post 4 under Reviews and Testimonies for what a lot of people from ALL OVER THE WORLD have shared from their use of the Note 2.

And this post on XDA just a couple of days ago:

i really hope Note 3 will be under 6" , its really to large to handle if that big. I would most likely to skip and jump to another phone except it comes with even better battery life than current note 2.

You are right, the Note 2 stock ROM is the best ever TouchWiz ROM of all Samsung phones. I was also on rooted stock for several months and got comfortable with it.

Should I wipe my cache and dalvik cache after or before I root? This is something that has been bugging me for a long while now.

Those of you who love the Note 2 will have no issues with the bigger 6 inch Note3. You will get use to it within a day. Having used the bigger 5.9 Vega, 6.1 Mate n 6.3 Mega I would say Note 2 size 5.5 seems small already
Nowadays you see Sony, HTC n several China n Korean makers jumping into the 5.3 to 6.4 display sizes to capture a slice of this increasing market
It is like what Steve Job had said, something along these lines " create something for the user who does not really know what they want" n having used it they just cannot accept anything else
When Samsung released the 5.3 Note many expect it to fail. History had proven this wrong
My first 5incher Dell Streak was a failure mainly due to its bad lag n mediocre performance.The Note easily dispose it off

Samsung slammed with downgrades as Galaxy S4 ‘marketing charm’ fades
http://bgr.com/2013/06/17/samsung-galaxy-s4-sales-estimate/

The issue is that the market for high-end smartphones such as the Galaxy S4 and the iPhone 5 seems to have for now hit a plateau while the action has moved more toward low or mid-tier devices that are affordable for consumers in emerging markets.


QUOTE(hooh888 @ Jun 17 2013, 05:50 PM)
"I am not sure why people still use screen protectors on today's high end devices especially phones like the Galaxy Note II with the enhanced toughened glass it has." the rest of what he said i'm not too sure. i mean a screen protector won't make the phone look as ugly as he said.
*
no matter how tough the current glass is... it's still prone to scratches. and i'm one of those that is kinda fussy abt even minor scratches on the glass. it happened to wife's s3. all she did was put inside the purse/ handbag. when the scratches showed... she said "i thought you said jard to get scratched... so how now?". i didn't expect the sracthes to appear in just 1-2 days... i was in the process of getting the SP.

the same should apply when one puts the phone in one's pocket.

I'm wondering if sony releases the zu 6.44 in 2 weeks' time will samsung wait till oct? There is likely credible competition this year. The xz was released 1 mth befire s4 and htc1 at the same time as s4. Despite production issues htc1 is influencing buyers and so is the xz. I don't know what samsung thinks but I believe they shd be prepared with the note3.

i shared earlier... i dun expect Note 2 to be getting that update so soon... coz otherwise, they won't have any good reason to sell Note 3.

4.2.2 should come with most of the things that S4 has got like dual camera recording, etc... they should all run fine on Note 2. and if note 3 dun have anything new and interesting to sell, they'd lose sales to Note 2.

ASP avg selling price going down is a good thing due to multiple suppliers unlike the processor market where intel is unchallenged.

A note3 at rrp 2099 will be really sweet with 32gb and lte.

But with Note 2, ever since the announcement, I was counting the day for it to come to Malaysia. Now, 8 months later, still loving it. My previous phone was just 2". it feels so natural holding Note 2 as if I never had 2" phone before thumbup.gif

Those of you who love the Note 2 will have no issues with the bigger 6 inch Note3. You will get use to it within a day. Having used the bigger 5.9 Vega, 6.1 Mate n 6.3 Mega I would say Note 2 size 5.5 seems small already
Nowadays you see Sony, HTC n several China n Korean makers jumping into the 5.3 to 6.4 display sizes to capture a slice of this increasing market
It is like what Steve Job had said, something along these lines " create something for the user who does not really know what they want" n having used it they just cannot accept anything else
When Samsung released the 5.3 Note many expect it to fail. History had proven this wrong
My first 5incher Dell Streak was a failure mainly due to its bad lag n mediocre performance.The Note easily dispose it off
*
i dunno la... i still think hitting 6" will be weird for me. the thought of putting that to my face (i know, its only 0.5" difference between note 2's 5.5") plus it might be stretching my hands a bit when i play or use with two hands (holding it with one and writing with another)...
update 1: i mean... can see the size increase slowly creeping in... next, 6"... then maybe 6.3"... then 6.5"... 6.8". before we know it, we're holding a 7" phablet to answer the phone call... biggrin.gif

dunno la... i guess i need to feel the 6" out there and see how it goes... wait, that sentence came out kinda awkward... doh.gif

Internal ... hmm.gif the Mass Storage mode tool does not work with internal SD... I think the last option is some form of ADB undelete ???

hooh888 can you shed light if ADB can perform undeletes?


===========================
UPDATE:

Your Android device is not the place to store your photos
http://www.androidcentral.com/your-android...ore-your-photos

When (not if) you lose everything on your phone or tablet, you'll be thankful you backed up the important things

We just got another heart-breaking email from a reader who has lost all their pictures and video because the SD card in their Android device went belly-up. We get at least a few of these every week, and it's horrible having to tell folks that there is a very good chance they'll need to use complicated forensic data retrieval tools to have any hope of getting those memories back if they can even get the media to be recognized in a computer again. Not having a good answer is the worst part of our jobs.

Now, this is not the SD card vs. no SD card debate. The same thing can happen with the internal storage on your phone, and while corruption isn't as common, accidentally erasing everything is more frequent -- especially when folks are tinkering with things and wiping and flashing "stuff". Don't go thinking this doesn't apply to you, because it does.

No matter if you have 64GB SD cards, or 64GB of free space on your phone, or even just 2GB of free space, don't use it to store all those pictures and videos you'll never be able to get back if you lose them.

There are all sorts of methods to save all those pictures of friends and family, some simple and others more complicated. But I promise there is at least one that will work for you. If you're OK with the cloud, I can personally recommend DropBox and Google+ as great ways to store all those pictures and video, and they have fine grained settings to control when to upload, so you can stay away from your data cap and use Wifi. Other services may be the same, so be sure to investigate all of your options.

Or maybe you're not a cloud kind of person. That's fine. Plug your phone into your computer and drag the folders with your pictures and videos to a backup location that isn't quite as volatile as your phone's storage. I promise, one day you'll erase everything, or drop your phone into the pool (or worse). When that day comes, you'll be glad you kept good backups.

How to watch TVB's latest dramas using Android PPS影音? (No rooting is required)

Before you start following this instruction, please register a PPS account from http://i.pps.tv/kh_register.php as you will need to login with this account later.

1) Download this apk file (this is v1.0.2 - an old version known for the ability to watch latest TVB dramas): http://depositfiles.com/files/o3racrnjo or http://freakshare.com/files/kocsxcaz/pps_pad.apk.html
2) Uninstall all PPS apps from your phone
3) Restart your phone
4) Install the apk file I attached in step 1
5) Launch the newly installed PPS app
6) You must tap on 跳过 a.k.a. skip on the pop-up window
7) Tap on 个人中心 - 会员 (can be found on top right)
8) Login with your PPS username and password, then tap on 会员登录
9) Make sure the bottom two boxes are ticked (记住密码,自动登录)
10) Exit PPS
11) Go to Settings > Application Manager > PPS影音 > clear cache (if any) > clear data > force stop
12) Launch PPS, repeat step 7 to 10
13) Restart phone
14) Launch PPS and enjoy!

user posted image

Very important note: Do not update your PPS because it will actually delete all these settings and you will not be able to watch again with the latest version.

Note 2: You may not succeed in your first attempt, so restart everything from step 2-14, you should be able to get it worked after that. Patience is a virtue. smile.gif

Note 3: You will not be able to search for all TVB dramas, this method is only for you to watch the latest TVB dramas, which means those currently airing or just finished airing.

Note 4: If you are just too lazy to follow the steps, then just download Kascend Video Player from Google Play and you will be able to watch TVB dramas from this app as well. laugh.gif

fruitie do you have workable link for the pps v1.0.2? those 2 links are dead.

Busy day, but something quite informative:

1080p Does Matter – Here’s When (Screen Size vs. Viewing Distance vs. Resolution)
http://carltonbale.com/1080p-does-matter/

I’ve read various articles debating the importance of the 1080p. I want to set the record straight once and for all: if you are serious about properly setting up your viewing room, you will definitely benefit from 1080p (and even 1440p.) Why? Because the 1080p resolution is the first to deliver enough detail to your eyeball when you are seated at the proper distance from the screen. But don’t just take my word for it: read on for the proof.

There are a few obvious factors to being able to detect resolution differences: the resolution of the screen, the size of the screen, and the viewing distance. To be able to detect differences between resolutions, the screen must be large enough and you must sit close enough. So the question becomes “How do I know if need a higher resolution or not?”. Here is your answer.

Based on the resolving ability of the human eye (with 20/20 vision it is possible to resolve 1/60th of a degree of an arc), it is possible to estimate when the differences between resolutions will become apparent. Using the Home Theater Calculator spreadsheet as a base, I created a chart showing, for any given screen size, how close you need to sit to be able to detect some or all of the benefits of a higher resolution screen. (Click the picture below for a larger version.)

Might we get wind of Note 3 on Thursday night? 7pm BST... 2am Friday lerrrr..........


Samsung to live-stream its Galaxy & ATIV event from London
http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-live...iv-event-london

A quick heads up for those of us who can't make it to London on Thursday for Samsung's Galaxy & ATIV event -- it'll be streamed live on YouTube. Specifically, you can find it at youtube.com/SamsungMobile.

Start time is 7 p.m. BST, or 2 p.m. on the east cost of the U.S., or 11 a.m. out west.

We don't know precisely what Samsung's bringing our way, as far as Android is concerned, but it wouldn't surprise us if we get a look at Samsung's recently announced Galaxy S4 Zoom camera, or the rumored Galaxy Camera 2 -- or possibly even the as-yet-unannounced Galaxy NX mirrorless camera. Or perhaps something completely different.

Best way to experience it, though, is to be there in person, and we'll be on-hand at the event from London.

=======================

ADDED:

Galaxy Note III Coming September; Analyst Confirms
http://androidheadlines.com/2013/06/galaxy...t-confirms.html

We all know it’s coming, the Galaxy Note III that is, Samsung have stuck to the same release schedule for the paste two years and this time around, there’s nothign to suggest that things are going to change. The Galaxy Note line is an important product line for Samsung, and what was once a niche market for those that needed a bigger phone, it’s now becoming something of a mainstream product.

Analysts are a funny bunch the world over, that much is obvious but, they often hold more knowledge than us and occasionally they let a little slip, as FNNews reports. This time around, a reputable analyst has been talking about Samsung and the lowered sales forecast for the Galaxy S 4, and while he was at it he let slip that the Galaxy Note III was on track for a September release. This isn’t exactly shocking when you think about it but, it is good to know that Samsung are looking to keep the Note line very much alive and kicking.

If you remember, the Galaxy Note II was announced at the IFA conference in Berlin last year and if the Note III is headed for a September release, it stands to reason that IFA will see yet another Note announcement. This year’s IFA runs from September 6th to the 13th – plenty of time for Samsung to announce another big-seller, no?

When the Note II hit the scene, there was little out there that could compete, not just in size but in added value. A larger smartphone does not always make for a better smartphone, Samsung have always known this, which is why the S-Pen plays such a pivotal role in the Note line of products. This year though, phones have gotten a lot larger and Samsung themselves are selling the Galaxy Mega series for those that just want something bigger. There’s word that an upcoming Sony smartphone is going to take on the Galaxy Note, not just in size but, also in terms of added features. The question is, can Samsung keep their “phablet” crown?

From my anticipation, nope.. no Note 3 until Q4 or end of Q3.
Most probably the New Samsung Galaxy Camera since it was launched almost this time last year..
If not, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom..
Note 3 wouldn't be that fast looking at Samsung's trend

Something about flash memory wear

First from the article
http://androidandme.com/2013/06/opinions/o...ive-ever-owned/


Then reddit picks it up and gives some insightful comments
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1..._from_the_best/


It seems that the same problems that affect SSD performance will also affect the eMMC chip ..... since it is flash and it has a flash controller.

However there is no TRIM command available to us unlike in SSDs.

Guys, need some advice.
I cant seem to mount my 16gb usb stick using otg cable.
but i can mount 1gb usb stick without any problem.
i have tried format it to fat32,exfat and even ntfs.
cable problem or usb stick problem?

One possible reason :
To run the USB , u need a certain amount of power from the source and in this case , your Note 2 . Chances are your 16G requires higher power supply then Note2 can supply , that's y u cant use your 16G . It doesn't mean u can't use a 16G USB , only that particular USB .

Good morning.

This is a very good article on perception of "lag"

Lag isn’t always a death sentence
http://pocketnow.com/2013/06/14/smartphone...-death-sentence

We recently had the opportunity to review the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, an experience we enjoyed primarily because of the device’s innovative hardware: a 6.9mm-thick, 495g chassis that manages to squeeze water- and dust-resistance onto its list of features.

Pocketnow is currently in the midst of reviewing the BlackBerry Q10, a peculiar blend of yesterday’s design cues with a modern OS – and we’re enjoying the feeling of real physical keys under our thumbs again.

The third-generation Apple iPad and Microsoft’s Surface RT also share space in our office, and we love the sturdy (if heavy) hardware feel of each. Other high points include the 4:3 aspect ratio of the former, and the capacity of the latter to transform into a faux-ultrabook when needed. They’re excellent pieces of hardware.

What do these smartphones and tablets have in common? They’re all devices we have great things to say about. They all play an important, positive part in our day-to-day interactions with technology. And, at one point or another, every single one of them demonstrates software lag.
............

Some comments:
sggodsell • 21 hours ago
The thing is people who use android don't understand where the lag can come from. First of all android is using a java virtual machine (dalvik VM) to run all the apps as well as the launcher. So each time an app is launched the dalvik VM has to load and compile the app. In other words when the app is compiled the VM generates binary code that is native for the CPU/architecture that the VM is currently running on. Now there is a jit (Just in time compiler) as well to help speed things up. There is so many advantages why Google an android took this approach. One of the major ones is that you are not tied to any CPU/architecture. That is why blackberry can run android apps. Also you see x86 android devices running android apps as well. WP and .net are suppose to be kind of like java. However most developers compile the WP apps native to the platform. So the app will not work cross platform. There is an advantage to doing this of course, and that is the apps will run faster since they are already complied for a particular CPU/architecture. Now android can do the same as well by making your app use native code for a particular CPU/architecture (ndk). But now the app is not cross platform any more. So basically the more ram and CPU you throw at android the better. Since most android phones nowadays offer high specs, then this isn't an issue anymore.

I know the perfect example of this. I started playing the new Ironman game on my Galaxy Note 2. My friend was playing the same game on his iphone. His was lagging and I said how can you play with that lag. He had just gotten used to it. I used to be used to it too but after using a device with less lag, I don't think I would go back.

Herman • 4 days ago
It reminds me of when I play games on my PC.
People would come and say my games lag a lot.

The funny thing is: I don't notice a thing.
I'm used to it, and I enjoy the games I play.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, even with a bit of lag here and there you can still enjoy a device.
(Not that I like lag or anything, obviously)

Can we have this screen protector:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/ClearPlex-s...ally-is_id44236

In this video, the ammunition used was .45 #9-shot, which has about 150 grains in each shot, so keep that in mind. The ammunition is nice for pest control, but initial muzzle velocity is about 1,000 feet-per-second, so you know there is going to be a somewhat decent show. The ClearPlex screen protector for the Samsung Galaxy S4 is able to deflect the shot admirably.

ClearPlex’s screen protector for the SGS4 and other devices is $15. If this video is enough to convince you to pick one up, click the source link below, but whatever you do, do not try this at home.

Anyways, I got a quick question her regarding to battery as lately I found weird battery reading on my set.

The batt seems dropping fast to me, let say from 100 to 95% within 2hours time.

But if I restart the phone the batt reading will back to 98%. Kinda puzzled with this matter as I used to give my phone a hard restart upon fully charge and thing like this never happens before until now.

anyone has any success trying to backup sms using the samsung service? i've tried many times and have never been successful. i wonder if there's a sms limit for the Samsung service... coz i've got like 1000+ sms... biggrin.gif

i know... there are apps out there and yes, i'm using such apps: SMS Backup and Restore. but just thought that since Samsung's also got one, figured might be good to also just have an extra copy.

100 to 95... 5% drop... in 2 hours. i'd think that's good, no?

as for the phone reading going back up after restart... i personally think its kinda normal for that. usually deviate like 2-3%

Not so sure tho, but the thing is usually I will restart the phone upon full charge so I get the correct battery reading.

I do understand that if the phone run on heavy task / on for a long time the battery reading will gone abrupt and giving a fresh restart will helps to get back the true reading.

But for my case, the 1st restart and 2nd only like 2.5hrs apart and the batt reading seems fluctuated 2-3%. And it never happens before too. The phone and batt only 2 months old. laugh.gif

indeed, for the battery to drop by 5% after 2 hours is good enough i'd say, and your statement regarding the reading going back up is true as well. so fylon, it's safe to say that you have nothing to fear in this regard.

No problem, if you are interested there are various info regarding battery on page 1. Such posts include 'The Battery' under post 3, 'Battery Saver Type apps', 'Charger and Charging Related', and 'Wakelocks and How to Deal with Them' which are all under post 8. Though for me i try to ignore most of those topics because i believe all i need is an entire day of use before charging again, and since i am able to get that then it's all good.

If you don't have any data connection during that two hours, then its bad. Nowadays my batt drain is about 2 percent for 8 hours. Sometimes four percent for i dunno what reason. If I turn on data or wifi, it's as though there's a leak in my batt laugh.gif

Yea. I did have watchdog and Greenify on my phone to help observe and reserve my juice. Just suddenly found this weird phenomena and thus drop a words over this thread see is there anyone "having" the same issue or not. laugh.gif

Hm.. I would say have both data (WiFi + 3G) riding in the background with constant swapping, cause my work required me to work around so sometime will be on WiFi and sometime on 3G.

2% over 8hrs that crazy. Deep sleep all the time? laugh.gif

There were few times I got about 20% losses during 7-8hrs of idle usage. sweat.gif Not sure is because of the Telco tower is far away from my place and causing the batt lost as I always max 3 bar of line when I'm at home.

The Note 2 by default has excellent battery life. I dont see the need to use any 3rd party battery savings apps such as DSBS, Greenify, ICS Battery saver, etc. Such apps will not increase your battery life , say by another 1 hour , perhaps only marginal increase. I cane easily get 7-8 hours SOT on 3G mainly ; with WiFi usage 8-9 hours is commonly achieved. In a normal working day, no one will be using their phone 6-8 hours continuously unless you use the phone to work
I have since on my seconds unit did not use any more custom kernels n custom roms - everything is stock. And I am very happy with it especially with the latest official firmware
Compared to Note 2, I am only hitting 6 hours+ SOT on my Mega 6.3 on similar usage

I have since on my seconds unit did not use any more custom kernels n custom roms - everything is stock. And I am very happy with it especially with the latest official firmware
*
I'm on pre rooted (need SU for some other apps) stock rom, stock kernel too. Normally with my usage starting 7am (unplug from charge) - 11pm (before i charged it again) usually the phone will have 4-4.5hrs SOT with roughly 35-40% battery left. With constantly WiFi & data on.

Finally after fancy home screen, I am now back to WanamLite. So far the performance and all are great .. very sammy based rom but am satisfied. However, is there a way to change the statusbar, toggles to blue or any color except GREEN?

I think it supports Simplistic Framework, can try that.

If you don't have any data connection during that two hours, then its bad.  Nowadays my batt drain is about 2 percent for 8 hours. Sometimes four percent for i  dunno what reason.  If I turn on data or wifi, it's as though there's a leak in my batt laugh.gif
*
Same like mine...when i run on data or Wifi, battery run like wild horse ....damm fast like every 5- 10 min usage drop 2%. As for the ideal night time i would lost 1% -2% in the process....

So far not much changes made...just root and exchange internal and external SD card mod as for rest is stock based.....maybe is the pegasus kernel ...previous my phone wasn't like that when stock kernel...

From the ROM Tracker I compiled, out of the current active ROMs since Jan, there are a total of 558 listed versions, not counting the old ROMs that weren't updated since December, nor the "Nightly" types.

1 ROM every 2 days would have kept anyone busy for 3 years or until the eMMC dies tongue.gif

Any Samsung Service Center if yours is an SME set, to retain the warranty. However if you suffered water damage, it could have affected the mainboard as well, or it could be the mainboard problem. How certain are you that it is just the LCD?

Did you try to dry your phone thoroughly first?

Anyway the price is approx RM700 for the screen, and if it's the board I think about RM600.

"IF" you didn't turn on your phone since then, try dumping it into a rice bucket for 3-5 days for it to dry up.
After that, try turning on. If the LCD still doesn't lit up.. you gotta go change it then.
Did you try turning on? If there is sound, no display can say 90% LCD. If there's no booting sound, no display, chances are a gone case for your motherboard.

The Note 2 by default has excellent battery life. I dont see the need to use any 3rd party battery savings apps such as DSBS, Greenify, ICS Battery saver, etc. Such apps will not increase your battery life , say by another 1 hour , perhaps only marginal increase. I cane easily get 7-8 hours SOT on 3G mainly ; with WiFi usage 8-9 hours is commonly achieved. In a normal working day, no one will be using their phone 6-8 hours continuously unless you use the phone to work
I have since on my seconds unit did not use any more custom kernels n custom roms - everything is stock. And I am very happy with it especially with the latest official firmware
Compared to Note 2, I am only hitting 6 hours+ SOT on my Mega 6.3 on similar usage

Err how do you get 7-8hours SOT on note? I'm barely past 5 hours SOT on normal day.. Always on 3G,never wifi with power saving mode ON, currently using omega rom

I can't either, but I think it's coz we younger people tend to install a lot more chat and social apps than uncle.

I remember the FIRST DAY after many moons when I performed a factory reset with NO APPS except for TiBU, I got nearly 6hrs SOT. Then after I restored my stuff it all went downhill.

I usually get between 3.5 to 4.5 max,data and wifi whole day.

Haha~!!...I still haven't patch up the my phone screen... but overall, i would give them 4 stars for great service and inside stuff they provide but not for the packaging as it look flimsy and could easily bend if not care. Plus there is no "do not stack" or "Broken glass" stickers outside the package...

Last week i check if you buy on fathers day, you get further discount...wasted, i brought a few week early

when you flash wanam, in aroma, you can choose the 23 toggles thing. if you did install that, then you can find the themes on xda. otherwise use this, works for both stock and simplistic framework.

cannot lar the TW

its ugly (green, what? and i can't even change the theme easily, always boot to recovery, flash and wipe, then wait for "android apps updating" for like forever due to more than 200 apps, then boot, tadaaa... nothing happened)

its slow (changing the animation scale to 0.5x doesn't help. noticeably slower in animation compared to Sentinel. could be programmed to be this way)

its not flexible (changing anything at all needs flashing zomg)

The Note 2 by default has excellent battery life. I dont see the need to use any 3rd party battery savings apps such as DSBS, Greenify, ICS Battery saver, etc. Such apps will not increase your battery life , say by another 1 hour , perhaps only marginal increase. I cane easily get 7-8 hours SOT on 3G mainly ; with WiFi usage 8-9 hours is commonly achieved. In a normal working day, no one will be using their phone 6-8 hours continuously unless you use the phone to work
I have since on my seconds unit did not use any more custom kernels n custom roms - everything is stock. And I am very happy with it especially with the latest official firmware
Compared to Note 2, I am only hitting 6 hours+ SOT on my Mega 6.3 on similar usage
*
Easily? LOL. I really wondered how you guys do it. Despite my best efforts, I only manage to breach 7 hours even with power saver on and wifi only usage.

Non-TW ROMs still allow you to use the S-pen, you just don't get the S-Note and S-memo.

That is why I recommend you do not use S-Note to maintain independence from Samsung in case you get a non-Samsung device next time.

Several note taking apps that allow writing are available but most of them are paid, but usually around RM15 or so.

But what for to restrain yourself to get such battery life. I always have to keep brightness level at certain level during daytime, notification update must be always on (fb,twitter,whatsapp,wechat etc..).. perhaps if nvr play games or do extensive usage, can restrain to max 200mhz smile.gif

Hence, my average sot linger around 3 to 4 hours, thats why many of us cannot get 7 and more hours of SOT. No use to restrain to this extend whereby to achieve good SOT and u cannot get fully ultilize of "smartphone".
Just my 2 cents. biggrin.gif hehe.

Samsung Galaxy S4 and Note II gets massive price cuts
http://www.soyacincau.com/2013/06/19/samsu...ive-price-cuts/

The barely 2 months old Samsung Galaxy S4 non-LTE version (9500) has gotten a massive price cut of RM349. Launched at RM2,199 with 16GB storage, the Samsung flagship device is now priced as low as RM1,850 outright for official Samsung Malaysia units. The 5.5″ Galaxy Note II is even affordable now at only RM1,680, making it quite an attractive buy.

Retailer IMCC has released its current Samsung Galaxy pricing as follows:

Samsung Galaxy S4 – RM1,850 (Previously RM2,199)
Samsung Galaxy Note II – RM1,680 (Previously RM1,999)
Samsung Galaxy S III – RM1,380 (Previously RM1,699)
Samsung Galaxy Grand – RM1,040 (Previously RM1,299)

For a flagship device to drop this much in such a little time is rather shocking. Another retailer IPMart has also dropped its Galaxy S4 pricing as well to as low as RM1,869.

In the mean time the recently rolled out Galaxy S4 4G LTE version (9505) with 32GB of storage is seen to be slashed as well to RM2,299 from its initial RM2,499 pricing. Thanks @abdulmj for the heads up.

Could this be an indication that more Galaxy models are coming to Malaysia? We won’t be surprise considering the Galaxy Mega, Galaxy S4 Active and Galaxy S4 Zoom are expected to make a local debut soon. Perhaps the rugged Galaxy S4 Active would be priced between the S4 non-LTE and 4G LTE version. With a water resistant credentials and LTE support, that might just demand a slight premium over the standard non-LTE S4.

For those waiting for the Galaxy S4 and without the need of LTE, the RM349 savings definitely certainly worth the wait.

====================

Some comments speculate that Note 3 is coming soon ??? I hope it does hehehehehe

I know, but this is a good year for choice of high performance devices. tongue.gif

Assuming they announce it tomorrow at the London event, it will take 4-6weeks to ship, which puts it at end July to early Aug. Probably good for Raya gifting LOL.

If they don't announce it tomorrow, then It's Sep/Oct.

Looking at recent market moves, this year Samsung no longer has the upper hand, they'll have to do something ..... if they don't then Sony and HTC will get the jump on them.

I wrote earlier in the last thread, Sony, Asus and HTC are gunning for the Note market and Asus has announced their entry. Sony will announce next week. HTC should be shortly after.

Frankly, the S800 should come with 3Gb RAM. That will be a killer device that can last many custom ROM generations.

Well, what functions have you utilized?

I use the S-pen regularly
I use the camera regularly
Data for browsing daily
SMS/Whatsapp/Calls
ROM Flashing
Some light gaming and kids entertainment
Pairing with BT keyboard and mouse for kicks
Allshare cast when I get the mood to reflash stock

Anything else anyone uses?

hmm.gif 1.8 will still be extremely reasonable.

I recall most of the analyst estimates of BOM cost were around USD180-280 for most devices, so a price crash like what happened to the PC market may be feasible.

If china phone makers start promoting and exporting their phones more aggressively, then they will be alot of competition and prices can drop. China phones are getting better and better just need to improve on their after sales service.

No mention of storage size, and it seems no sdcard, and fixed battery.

I can live with fixed battery but need the sdcard. Not forgetting all the S-on S-off and locked bootloader nonsense. Same goes for Sony.

16gb built in with microsd slot, and 3200mah batt, at least that kind of batt size is good enough that a removable batt is not needed(at least for me la) at least we can see HTC really listening what the majority of customers want smile.gif

and us XDA fanatics are definitely not the majority tongue.gif

I'm pretty sure now the One Max won't come with a tiny 3000mah batt as rumored, so its up for consideration again. Will need to really go thru the functions I use a lot on the note 2 and compare it with what sense 5 offers, to make sure ill actually be upgrading and not downgrading in terms of features. SNOte is giving me headache now zzz. Might transfer to evernote and see how it goes since theres an import to evernote function.

I'm really hoping all of these new devices are pressuring samsung to try and do something about the outlook and feel of the phone, though its not super important for me, but it would be really awesome to have a note 3 with stereo speakers for netflix, prime and hulu.

Ever since I found out that S-note was platform locked, I stopped using it.
Using HandyNote, I found that the Evernote export is just a static image mad.gif
The dropbox integration is better in that it stores the native HNF file so is far more portable this way.

Well, I seriously find the HTC One Sense has some lacking stuff if you're coming from TW. I was completely surprised to read that they have no multiple toggle equivalent and some very basic functionality of settings access is missing from the H1 ROM. WTF.

And they have to wait for 4.2.2 to get that????

And their 4.2.2 update just got canned today it seems. So......

another thing, ultrapixel...I really need high megapixel count as I use the note 2 camera a lot ot take document pics, and I dont think the ultrapixel is gonna be good at that =/

Yeah, HTC doesn't seem to be too fond of toggles lol, love how samsung is giving us even more toggles with the 4.2 update(though I would love a flashlight one too)

Once, the official 4.2.2 drops for the One, hope there will be someone who does a thorough video about it.

Oh yeah, the weird capacitive buttons too doh.gif

Who cares about thin? Give me a smartphone with some meat on its bones!
By Joe Levi | June 12, 2013 5:18 PM
http://pocketnow.com/2013/06/12/who-cares-about-thin

It should come as no surprise, smartphones are getting thinner. Just when you thought they couldn’t get any skinnier, manufacturers will shave a millimeter or two off their next device, just so they can claim the title of having the “thinnest phone on the market” — even if they don’t. Some manufacturers make their claims when measuring the thinnest part of the phone, but conveniently leave out the fact that the “camera hump” doubles or even triples the thickness. That doesn’t count, does it?

Thin phones don’t feel good

I’m through with it! Thin phones seem more fragile than “thicker” models. They’re not as easy to carry, they’re not as durable when you stick them in a pocket. They have more flex to them.

Pick up a phone that touts its “thinness” as a feature, then pick up another phone that didn’t put millimeters before user experience. Which one feels better in your hand? It’s a very personal opinion, for sure, but in my experience, the thinner phones feel awkward, even clumsy. Thicker phones fill your hand. They give them impression that they’re designed for you, rather than designed for a line on a spec-sheet.
Thin phones feel cheap

Thin is usually synonymous with light-weight. “Quality” usually comes with some level of “heaft” to it. A lawnmower that’s lightweight, for example, is probably made mostly out of plastic, has a low-power engine, and probably isn’t going to last as long as one that’s made of metal, and has a larger, more power engine, and is more durable. As a consumer, you don’t have to know why one lawnmower is lighter than the other, you just know by the feel that one is cheaper than the other (notice I said “cheaper” rather than “less expensive”). The analogy doesn’t translate 1:1 to smartphones, but the feeling of quality does.
Thin phones make sacrifices

I’m an advocate of lightening one’s load. No one wants to lug around a heavy beast of a device all day, every day, right? Ounces turn into pounds, and pounds turn into pain. I get that. But there comes a point when something is too light. My Nexus 4, for example, is a great phone — as long as I say close to a charger. Most of the time I do. When I’m on the road or attending a training session or City Council Meeting, my battery just isn’t enough to get me through. When I think I’ll need extra juice, I carry around a battery that I can plug into my phone to give me the extra power I need when I need it. These are of vital importance if you play Ingress, by the way.

Saving a few millimeters in thickness typically means going with a smaller battery inside the phone. Going with a smaller battery means it doesn’t last as long as it could have if that sacrifice hadn’t been made (a good example here is the Motorola RAZR versus the RAZR MAXX). Those few millimeters of thickness means I’ve got to carry around a big, bulky battery and USB cable whenever I think I might need more juice.
Who cares about thin?

I don’t know if I’m alone in my thoughts, but I think I’ve made some fairly compelling arguments why “thin” for the sake of being thin may not be in your best interests. Not long ago, Michael Fisher asked “When is a smartphone too thin?” and makes some of the same conclusions that I have.

Personally, I don’t want a “skinny phone”! Give me a phone with some meat on its bones!

Of course I want to hear from you, too! Am I alone in thinking too much emphasis is being placed on “thinness”? What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments!

Just received my uag scout. Thx to Noobi3.
Loving it. The downside is it doesnt have a stand like my previous leather case where I could just let it stand so I can jusr easily watch movies or browse the internet without holding my phone.
Guess ill just have to get use to it or place something at the back to let it stand.

Will you become a mirror? Or perform this on an ad-hoc basis? I can add this to post 7, but it will help if we understand how you will manage this.

Ie will you post a few of the latest ROMs till the next version, or per-request etc?

Frankly thats "dumb" for me. Modem is not essential to be change/flash with every rom. What if i am using a modem that is not on the aroma list and i dun want to change it. Should highlight to the rom chef if you come across it.

Guys, my SGN2 is a Digi set for about 6 months now.

Recently there's quite some problems that occur that I can't find a way to fix it. I'll just state my problem here and see if there's anyone that will be able to help me.

Problems;
1) My maps kept showing that I am in London even when I am in Malaysia
2) My instagram can't geotag
3) My waze can't detect the maps (kept loading)

I already reformatted my phone twice, and even turn on all my GPS settings for the geotag, maps and waze.

Can someone help me?

It is possible you have a faulty GPS unit. If you have not been rooted, just perform a factory reset (since you've already reset) and test it, verify then send it to SC and show them the fault.

Check the md5 match or not . Most probably is a bad download or bad flash . If MD5 is correct , u can try flash again if u r willing to take the risk . Which recovery ? TWRP ?

Just run a check & MD5 checks out good. Damn what went wrong? Anyway will redownload and try

210 feet is too large a margin. Accuracy should be within 30meters/100ft at most.

You need to find the mods to do it. I think you can flash 1 framework, either Simplistic or Xposed. Then you need to load the modules for the framework.

I remember one of the Xposed mods can control various per-app settings, but cannot remember the name now.

Ok Note 3 news now:

http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/480407/2013...tm#.UcHMRXfK5T0

.......
So when and where exactly will Samsung uncloak the Note 3? One thing is sure, analysts said, it will take place in major cities and likely via a simultaneous unveiling, maybe in New York and London. Or probably one Asian city will be included, of which Tokyo, Beijing and Singapore are ready candidates.

Moscow in Russia could be in the wildcard but not impossible considering one of Samsung's major and pressing thrusts and that is to push the Samsung brand awareness to emerging markets that put Russia at the forefront.

The safest bet for the Note 3 launch date is between August and September with the latter as the actual release date. It's possible too that July will be marked as the phablet's global preview moment.

The rationale behind this is Samsung would want to push out its second flagship earlier than that of Apple's iPhone 5S. The first object is to gain a considerable headstart and the second is to support the ongoing GS4 global distribution, the latter partly to swiftly deal with its reportedly flagging sales momentum.

At any rate, while Samsung will not release the Galaxy Note 3 this June or next month, Samsung fans will not be waiting in vain.

On release date, the leading phablet will flash a quad-core processor of mixed build, supplied both by Samsung's in-house Exynos Octa 5 and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 chip. Any of the two will make the Note 3 one of the most powerful smartphone to come out this year with the bonus of being energy-efficient.

Also, the Note 3 is expected to sport a near-GS4 profile but with larger screen at 5.99-inch with 1080p resolution plus a rear cam shooter with a 13MP sensor.

The Butterfly S is an Asian device set to launch in July, which explains the apparent lack of LTE. The original Butterfly was essentially a Droid DNA, so maybe we'll see the new version come to American shores sometime soon.

The ROM itself doesn't have possible selection on the baseband but you can always flash it later on.

If we didn't have LTE today, with fairly good Klang Valley coverage, I guess it wouldn't have mattered. It's like "analysts' expectations". We have tasted ambrosia, and do now crave it.

I have 10Mbps at home now, won't go back to 4Mbps. But if one can bear it, then, it doesn't matter.

Yeah but when I go back hometown, I have to bear with 4Mbps or sometimes when it is in good mood, it can go up to 10Mbps. Very rare though.

Well, still considered fast for my hometown. We only have 4Mbps Streamyx, max. laugh.gif

Its not that I really care bout getting a better signal, it's just that my brother said this " u see my s3 got better wifi signal than ur note2. Phone so big but wifi so weak". Argh...lol.

Correct me if im wrong but I thought modem has no influence on Wifi. I think I read it somewhere in xda. Basically modem has something to do with mobile network signal. Now im confuse. Gonna do some reading first about this before I flash.

hahaha, yeah seldom reply lately as there're far lots developers within the droid world...
some suggestions for whoever using the Perseus Kernel:

1. You can get 100mv UV for all CPU and GPU and Memory (stable with >1 month used)

2. UV for CPU on 200MHz can safely UV down till 750mV (>100mV compare to other freq)

3. You can set your CPU hotplug for the 3rd and 4th core to be turn on when @1100MHz, this will direct force you CPU just use max 2 cores whenever you switch to Power Saving Mode (good in critical power saving needed)

4. You can further power saving by install the Android Tuner (get it from Play) and set the Active Tweak on the Screen Off behaviour the max freq when screen off to 1GHz and with this mean whenever u switch off the screen the CPU will work max 1GHz and with only 2 cores active (you need to set the #3 above on hotplug)

5. If you no need immediate social/mail update then you can use the Deep Sleep Battery Saver (get it from Play) and set to use 30mins on for 1mins (Gentle Profile), this will help A LOT on the 3G/Wifi data power comsumption.

With all the above you can easily out last your battery for max without having major impact on performance.

If all above apply you should seeing your batt will drop ~1% per hour on wifi in standby and ~2% per hour on 3g data... what I say here is MINIMUM and from what my usage my batt drop ~1% in every 2 hours on wifi and from 9AM till 6PM (9 hours working with normal minimum usage) my batt fall from 100% to 94%...

Tested the GPS navigation with 3g and BT on (screen brightness about 50% with auto on) I get ~5%~6% drop in 30mins using the Papago and calculated easily can get >8 hours active navigation time...

Hope these information usefull for some battery geeks out there... tongue.gif  brows.gif

In the absence of master sklchan, you will need stalker alexng2208 or master antt00 to help you.

==========================
News

Screenshots from Sony Xperia ZU prototype confirm specs
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Screenshots...m-specs_id44281

One of the most anticipated devices right now is the Sony Xperia ZU. Screenshots from a prototype confirm most of the high-end specs that you would expect from a unit like this. The only difference from expectations is with the screen size which is listed at 6.21 inches instead of the 6.44 inches that the screen was supposed to measure. The difference could be Sony's navigation bar. And while .23 of an inch might not sound like a lot, it would be the difference between calling the Sony Xperia ZU a large-screened phone and calling it the largest screened model in the industry. Currently, that honor goes to the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 with its 6.3 inch panel.

The rest of the specs confirmed by the phone's system info page include the Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset and the Adreno 330 GPU. Android 4.2.2 is listed as running the phone. There is also 16GB of native storage and 2GB of RAM. In other words, everything you've been hearing about the device appears to be true.

Sony has an event coming on June 25th in Germany at which time the Sony Xperia ZU could be introduced

==================

If Samsung goes down the same path of removing buttons, the lack of physical buttons will take a little getting used to for me since I like the full screen usage of Samsung with the 3 buttons at the bottom. I wonder why a lot of people spew hate for the physical buttons. Maybe conditioned to the guaranteed failure of the home button on rotten fruit devices?

Anyway, this is a good year. Seeing that all high end phones this year are in for 2Gb RAM, it will last us a long time seeing that Google's roadmap is showing that they will reduce Android memory footprints from 5.0 onwards. Which means Note 2 is still going to be there with the rest of the younger boys in the long run.

I believe they will only switch to more RAM when 64bit ARM arrives for phones.

i actually might, because you speak of tw roms as boring, slow, fussy, laggy, and whatnot, so i assume sentinel is generally much faster and smoother though i didn't feel it when i use it. so i might just flash that again and let you and master antt00 guide me. and besides, i may have downloaded the wanamlite 3.8 but haven't flash it, gonna just wait and observe for any funny bugs other users find in that rom, such as the gps problem for instance.

you definitely need third party

usually when you flash a custom kernel, it would automatically install stweaks for you

I dont understand the description.

1. What is the different between "Frequency threshold to bring down a core if 3 online" and "Frequency threshold to bring up a core if 3 online"?

2. Why there is no "Frequency threshold to bring up a core if 4 online"? is that mean 4th core always run?

Part 2 of review on the tempered glass screen protector

So last night, come back eagerly having my old screen protector remove and install the tempered glass screen protector...

Looks of the new touch screen:

user posted image

The tempered glass screen protector look tight as it was only made to protect mostly on the screen and the soft key button. I mean very close to the edge of the screen

Corner after assemble:

user posted image

After assemble i had try out the smoothness and found it quiet good plus is like having another layer of glass on top of your touch screen ... it feel good

Now the problem start to occur if you notice along the edge of the screen.You will find the the tempered glass screen protector doesn't sit much nicely there because the nature on note 2 phone tend to curve on the edge while tempered glass screen protector cant curve and bend like plastic screen protector do. There will be leak along the edge with bubble. not sure if it will go away for next 2 -3 days have to wait and see.

Update: Just received a bad copied of the tempered glass. Refer to below link on the reply from MIME at post #666

MIME response to bad copied tempered glass

Bubble along the edge:

Probably cause of the SP hardness (harder then normal SP and hard to stick to on the curved side) which causing the air pocket IMO. laugh.gif

but you did an amazing job and maybe with that thick casing you got, you might not notice the bubblessssss

else, there are those "colored" glass SPs with the top and bottom edges color coded to our phone. maybe its to reduce this bubble noticeable effect?

Well, I seriously find the HTC One Sense has some lacking stuff if you're coming from TW. I was completely surprised to read that they have no multiple toggle equivalent and some very basic functionality of settings access is missing from the H1 ROM. WTF.

And they have to wait for 4.2.2 to get that????

And their 4.2.2 update just got canned today it seems. So......

handyNote... sorry if this has been asked before many times (btw, breezed through Page 1 and dun see anything about this)...

what format does it use? HNF? is this proprietary (how different from the SNote format? google but dun seem to have a lot of info on this.

sharing/ editing... if i wanna share the file with others and let them edit, easy? they also need HandyNote installed?

like you, i prefer something 'open'. dun like the idea of being locked to a particular platform. biggrin.gif

feel free to PM me too... biggrin.gif

i recall that some Samsung phones were blended.

if i am not mistaken, that blend series is to show how powerful the blender blades are... so, usually everything ends up losing to the blender... biggrin.gif

HNF format is proprietary to HandyNote, but it is exportable to PDF and PNG. Likewise, SNB is proprietary to S-note, and exportable to PDF and PNG.

However the key difference is that ANY Android can use HandyNote, but ONLY Samsung phones can WITH TW can use S-note.

So in terms of "lock-in", HNF is far preferable to SNB IMHO. In fact Handynote lite is free, should be able to read any HNF.

pheasant = burung. Sedapnya.

guess i will either stick with wanamlite 3.7 or give sentinel a second shot, as there are still users of wanamlite 3.8 facing modem and kernal flashing as well as gps problems.
