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.

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

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

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?


A link about the so-called "massive vulnerability on 99% of Androids"
Keep your pants on: A reality check about this latest Android malware scare - 2013-07-08
Excerpt:
QUOTE
That's certainly the case with our latest doom and gloom story -- a fright-inducing app signature vulnerability brought into the public eye by a new security company called Bluebox (which, like almost every company that releases scary-sounding info about Android threats, is a business built around the sales of Android security software -- go figure).

In the meantime, as is usually the case in these scenarios, there's absolutely no cause for alarm. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Whether you're surfing the Web on your PC or getting online from your phone, a little caution and some common sense will go a long way in keeping you safe from the big, bad virus monsters lurking around our virtual worlds.

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.

eMMC refers to the internal SD...so you MAY be about to get hit by full blown SDS. If you can get into Recovery mode, perform fullwipe in recovery and try to restart.

If not, and you can only access download mode, then flash in a stock ROM and test a couple of days.

Did you verify your download's MD5?

Try removing your battery for a couple of minutes and reboot.

Looks like partial sds which is the worse kind.

Try reflashing using odin with pit file. Otherwise it's off to service center.

The download site and the saving of the physical file with no corrupt bits are totally different things.

Try another download until your MD5 matches. If not then try the XDA sites for prerooted ROMs which are generally fine.

Ok installed...well it's the same as Hacker's Keyboard in terms of small key size. The sad thing about Hacker's Keyboard is that the cursor keys are not supported in all apps. Otherwise being able to use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V is a great bonus in many cases.

Seems like someone actually managed to flip the switch for both the quad cores in the Exynos Octa!!!

http://androidheadlines.com/2013/07/galaxy...-overclock.html

Holy smoked motherboards Batman! Galaxy S4 hacker DSWR of the Android Central forums managed to overclock all 8 cores of his Model GT-I9500 to a screaming 2.8 GHZ. The results were, as you can imagine, rather devastatingly heated(I hope to see pictures of the destruction soon!)

He managed to trick the phone into believing it was in both power saving and performance modes simultaneously. This forced the powerful A15 quadcore to work simultaneously along with the less powerful A7 core. A configuration that is most definitely not supported with a stock kernel.

Believe it or not the phone was actually able to run for a while with this setup. For a glorious half an hour no Touchwiz lag was experienced. Sadly the phone was “completely knackered” after his session. The A7 chip completely burnt out, hopefully he’ll find some use for the hardware

There is NO issue with using tb to restore app. That is just a standard precaution almost all aosp Rom chef states.

The partition is just for internal sd as it is suppose to support multi user. The data partition is the same hence there is no issue.

notice that she keeps her hand at least 2" away from the screen ALL THE TIME. This means NO PALM REJECTION. This means you won't be able to use it for more than 5 mins in handwriting mode without your arm getting tired.

Any keyboard app that stores your own dictionary words will pose a risk. So don't use it for internet banking. I only use a secured notebook to perform banking, or run a CD-based linux for that session to do it.

Will try devil soon..but it needs its own recovery right? Don't think it will work with twrp. I saw the dev uploaded devil's own recovery.
Anyway I can confirm red pill kernel is not suitable for this ROM. You'll get freezes and screen glitches once you exit from the stweaks app.

I dunno how long I will last. But its only been one day.

Will try devil soon..but it needs its own recovery right? Don't think it will work with twrp. I saw the dev uploaded devil's own recovery.
Anyway I can confirm red pill kernel is not suitable for this ROM. You'll get freezes and screen glitches once you exit from the stweaks app.

I dunno how long I will last. But its only been one day.
30% in an hour gone on browsing only. Sheesh..

No. You can use it with twrp or whatever recovery you want. The devil recovery is ONLY if you want to dual boot.

Are we talking about the same kernel? I flashed devil and under about device my kernel becomes unavailable.

It has the SONY™ logo somewhere tongue.gif

It has an LCD or LED matrix screen that shows you maybe 2 x 10 characters. Well I don't know..... however once it showed no palm rejection, it is not fit to be called a Note class competitor. I have a 7" tablet.....please try writing extended notes while keeping your palm away from the screen.

There is NO issue with using tb to restore app. That is just a standard precaution almost all aosp Rom chef states.

The partition is just for internal sd as it is suppose to support multi user. The data partition is the same hence there is no issue.

Tibu is fine. Just don't restore system data.
Some apps might not be restored. Probably can't work with 4.2. In my case I can't restore polaris office. Sux.

Hi,sorry for disturbing,but I need your help in reviving my gf's note 2

I bought my gf a note 2. I updated to latest version,DMF2, rooted with CF auto root,backup efs.

But I don't know why the phone got no radio/data. After reading through forums,I suspect it's the EFS folder damage? So I restored the efs I backup earlier. At first boot after restore still no signal,so I restarted the phone and got the signal,imei,mac address everything back. But the EFS seems to corrupt again when I reboot the phone the next time.

I then restored the EFS again and first boot no signal,second boot got back signal/imei/mac address everything working, third boot EFS corrupt again.

I got 2 backups of EFS.img at my PC,I tried to restored both but both give the same result.

Never installed custom rom on the phone,just need root to use some apps.

Anybody please advice what to do?Thanks notworthy.gif

Hi bro,thanks for the quick reply. Yup I did check the first post and did some readings through XDA

But I am not familiar with samsung system. I did flashed the recommended modem(mf1) from ROM XXDMF2-XME as the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...2&postcount=134

When should I flash the modem? Before or After restore of EFS? Or the power off time when I confirm the restored EFS is functioning? Very confusing, please guide me, thanks & sorry smile.gif

Edit: Yes,my backup EFS imei is correct 1,same with the imei provided in the phone box also

Try flashing older version of the rom. Meaning downgrade. Then change modem. If still no imei then restore ur efs.

Hopefully turns well. U should have posted or asked earlier when everyone is not asleep yet.
Btw referring from dr. Ketan's post, did u flash the modem first or restore ur efs after flashing the latest firmware?
According to dr. Ketan u should restore efs first and check whether there is radio/signal or not.

Btw referring from  dr. Ketan's post, did u flash the modem first or restore ur efs after flashing the latest firmware?
According to dr. Ketan u should restore efs first and check whether there is radio/signal or not.

Hi, thanks for the help. I couldn't just post the question when I face some problem without digging more into forums/tutorials. I am not noob in android, was messing with Motorola for 2.5 years and now using Xperia, so I know I should find the answer by myself first. But I am Samsung noob tongue.gif

I forgot I flash modem first EFS second or EFS first modem second,I tried every sequence and still ended up the signal lost after 1~2 reboots. I tried every possibility I could think of, triangle away, EFS repair, asking question here finally. After 4 hours of messing around with the phone, I tried few reboots/shutdown and finally it could still works after booting. I hope this is permanently fixed. thumbup.gif (I not yet flash older fw to downgrade,the problem seems fixed after messing around)

Don't ask me how did I fix that, too many tries & errors I made and I can't really tell which steps fixed the problem. rclxub.gif

Finally would like to thanks for your kind help again,appreciate notworthy.gif

This article
http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/07/05/samsung-...7-inch-display/

On Google+ has generated 220+ comments and it seems that ppl in the US and Canada seem to be satisfied with 5.7"

Very few people discuss the larger devices we have here like the MEGA series and Huawei. There are some comparisons to XZU though but I reiterate that the xzu has no palm rejection therefore it is just an improved capacitive screen that allows pen and pencil use. Let's see the actual reviews of xzu in the next few weeks.

Amazing-Yahoo spends a lot of money buying a company with thousands of loyal users and instead of trying to bring them into the yahoo fold tells them all to bugger off- no wonder Yahoo is going down the tubes. Trying Any.do- looks very good so far

iOS 7 CONFUSES BABIES.........

Do babies prefer iOS 6 over iOS 7?
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Do-babies-p...r-iOS-7_id44977

Some comments:
2. andro. posted on 9 hours ago 9
Having seen and used an iPhone with a beta version of iOS 7 (perhaps fake but exactly similar) on it I have to say only teen girls will like it. Way to much pinks and purples. Even some of my fellow staff who fond of iOS did not like it.

14. DaNTRoN posted on 8 hours ago
Trainers here complain about iOS7. now I won't say where I work but trust me, these are the top people with top knowledge of Apple and they are all Apple users, all complain about ios7. Sure they like the paralax wallpaper, which I enjoy on my n4, but all of them complain about how it hurts battery, which is no issue on n4.

45. Rukus505 posted on 31 min ago
Actually, Apple is at a point in their success where they need to target a specific market. Making one product that fits everyone's needs or wants, is self destructive, you can't please everybody. Apples "mainstream" market seems to be slowly evolving to early teens to young adults. Afterall, it's this age group that drives advertising and marketing in America for "mainstream" corporations. This age group has their parents money at their disposal. Smart move by Apple financially, but at the cost of losing some of their aging, loyal, die hard customers. This is the age group that drives Apple's sales, of late; this is the age group that Apple will cater to in the end. After all, what middle aged man gets excited over another phone, it's materialistic. Conversely, how many teens get excited over the next shiny new phone...all of them. Target the new crop of Apple loyalists, not the aging. iOS7 and 8 and 9 will continue to target kids, and you, jedi, no offense, are not the customer Apple is looking for.

Samsung service center. At least u maintain warranty if yours is an SME set. The flip cover is not a case and provides no real protection.

Isn't SGD 180 about RM 500? Just for the screen glass? The glass is available for less than USD 20.

http://www.ebay.com/bhp/galaxy-note-2-screen-replacement

This can be replaced with lots of care if the LCD and digitizer still work, however quite a number of youtube videos and DIY shots have shown that the workmanship does leave much to be desired, due to the adhesive residue all around the edges.

The entire screen assembly (glass, LCD, digitizer) is available for about USD 200, which is in line with the replacement charge here in MY.

http://www.ebay.com/bhp/galaxy-note-2-digitizer

About G+, they updated the functionality for pics about a week or 2 ago, but not sure if they have bulk download. On the phone the G+ functionality is less than on the desktop browser. Seems like you need to go into each album and click Select then Download.

Never replace your glass alone , saving the cost doesnt help . Cuz amoled , samoled , etc , their digitizer and the glass comes in a set for ori . You can get glass replacement but shops dont have the glue used to hold the glass together with the digitizer . Normal glue is not strong enough and after a while , the glass will slowly get peeled off from the digitizer . I encounter the problem twice , both times from SME as i made a claim for my screen with dead pixel . They only replace my LCD while using back my digitizer n screen . After a while , screen starts to peel off . Have 2 go back the 2nd time

No, they will "recycle" your LCD instead aka trade in, they will give you digitizer + glass + LCD panel for SGD180. AFAIK the broken glass + working LCD worth about SGD100

Hello. I am one of the earliest owner of SGN 2 bought in Oct 2012 AP set. I flashed and flashed till I got bored.
I have a problem and I badly need your help. My phone was on Hawkish Premium series DCMC3 rom. A week ago I suddenly could not connect to my maxis carrier . it says no sim and can make emergency call only. My sim is okay because it works on other phones. Sim cards of all other carriers work on my SGN 2 EXCEPT maxis sim cards.
I dialled *#06# and my imei is intact and corresponds to my imei at the back of the phone.
I called maxis to find out if my phone is blocked and the CS said it is not and they tried resetting the line from their side . Of course it did not work. I gave back to my AP service centre and the technician is a little confused .
UNFORTUNATELY he flashed DME6 rom.

As I needed my phone back over the weekend I took back back my phone and used u mobile sim card. Its working well. Now I'm toying over the idea of restoring my efs. I searched my phone and to my disappointment I only have efsbackup.tar.gz file. I dont have a .img file.

On my settings>more settings> mobile networks> network operators there are u mobile, digi and celcom carriers. There is no MY Maxis

Could the efs be corrupted? Only maxis is not working. Or could maxis have blocked my imei from registering with it's network?What can I do now? Is it possible to restore efs with only the .tar file?

Probably because I didnt install any Samsung's bloatwares as well. Just GAPPS and restored my Real Racing 3 from TiBu. The rest I download from PlayStore. Less bloatwares = more battery life. LOL tongue.gif

supposed to buy a new phone but instead got a new DSLR and lense. But when i uploaded to my NOTE 2 the pics look incredibly wrong(skin tone etc). Went into screen mode and changed the mode from dynamic to movie. much better and pics look like how its supposed to be. Now am loving my note 2 all over again biggrin.gif

Also i think the battery is much better when in movie mode than in Dynamic mode.

Use Perseus kernel, can tweak the color. I'm using it now, closest to the real color. Something like IPS.

U guys probably use all features of the device. I have not use SPen ( only on 1st day testing ), Bluetooth, SBeam, NFC,
All Share, Power Saving etc. Maybe shud downgrade to Nokia 3310 type of phone next. hmm.gif whistling.gif

The rest can leave as default, then you will notice your screen colour is no longer that vivid anymore.
You will get used to it. These days, I can only see this colour and it suits my eyes the most. biggrin.gif

just to those newbies like me who just do it without braining.

it doesn't even work plugged in, you actually have to have at least 60% for a guaranteed non-battery related error to not happen!

in this kind of cases, i think the best would be is to have a standby battery with at least 70% on tap

Just unlucky gua ...... I normally flash whenever I want , sometimes as low as 10% BUT it is dangerous . Normally for Note2 , it only takes around 3-4% battery for a full wipe + flash ( aroma ) .

Really? One hardware and lost faith? What are you a boy still dreaming for Santa Claus?

First of all, what is the faulty hardware? How are you sure LG, Sony, Apple, Motorola, HTC will not have the same failure?

I'm not even a fan of Samsung (I'm "still" more of a HTC guy) but these "Samsung sucks" posts are getting more and more and I sometimes think, why do you even buy a Samsung phone without knowing their reputation?

If they are weak in hardware and service, don't get it. They have the best specs? Sucks to be you. I choose specs.

Many (not just you) get a Samsung, use touchwiz and end up saying meh, Android/Samsung sucks because it's so lag, build quality sucks, many problems, bla bla. iPong so good no lag. I used to argue with these people, trying to knock them some sense. But that was 3 years ago. Now, I'll just say, get an iPhone. Don't ever come android.

Yeah you aren't comparing, I'm doing it because after many posts, I decide to reply to yours so don't take it to heart.

My question stands : which hardware is the one having failure that you "lost hope" on Samsung devices?
*
This is a nice response to <insert brand> failure. Well since Samsung is the largest Android target, they are the favorite fall guy for perceived Android "failures".

talking about older software for a difference

i think that S2 is actually very speedy although the screen's contrast and what not is not so good.

however, speed is quite good and with a slim 4.2.2 ROM, its flying literally. no noticeable unbearable lagginess.

everything runs smoothly although loadings takes a little longer

1. LTE is out but non-SME. search within the deeper realms of LYN to source yourself a set
2. LTE is about 30-40Mbps which is about 3-4 times faster than my usual daily HSDPA speed. availability is limited. blush.gif

Oh...hahaha some comments from that "most hated phone" article, which make complete sense:


Samsung Fanboy lowtolerance • 3 days ago
Funny how every iPhone user wants Galaxy features on their iPhones.

Notice how immediately after the iPhone 4S & iPhone 5 were launched forums all over the web had 100+ pages of wish list for the next iPhone--a wish list that pretty much sounds like any number of existing Android phones.

Also notice how iOS 7 has copied more than a dozen features from Android, why? Because of all the complaints from iOS users who wish iOS was as feature rich as Android.

Funny how fanboys like you seem to sincerely believe that feature theft is a one-way street, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

bahrta lowtolerance • 2 days ago −
Like how Samsung stole the rectangle with rounded edges design from Apple? Please, don't make me laugh. Now Apple is claiming Samsung violated a copyright by swyping the screen to unlock. That kind of thing should not be able to be patented. Name one legitimate feature android has stolen from iOS. That doesn't include ridiculous "violations" like those I've listed.

thanks. for the info. i found someone selling an ap set. was hoping samsung would release an official unit here. and faster 3-4 times would really mean faster 3-4 times when loading page, video, pic etc etc on g.note2? if the difference is not that significant might as well just get the existing non lte g.note2

thanks for your 2cents

SME seemingly did submit the LTE version for SIRIM approval, but no idea if they really want to bring it in officially.

As with any network related speed discussion,

1. Downloads WILL be faster (depending on network speed, BEST EFFORTS)
2. Uploads *may* be faster (depending on network speed, BEST EFFORTS)
3. Page loading speed *may* be faster depending on Server Load, your device CPU/GPU load, HTML5/Flash etc.

So the only certainty is that you will download stuff faster, especially stuff like videos and large images and files. Page loading is dependent on network speed and processing power of your device, so it could be iffy.

No trolling here, I had all iPhone's up to the 5, then I gave it to my girlfriend as I felt I had outgrown what apple could offer. I was at the point of only using an iPhone if it was jailbroken. Any one who likes simple interfaces and easy to use features get an iPhone, if you fancy something more exciting get an Android. Someone commented above that android just wasn't for them, that's what I said for five years thinking I had the "best" phone and feeling better than everyone else.

I then realized my worst fears I had become an iSheep.

Just one of the masses being steered in apples direction. I have nothing against apple as I love their hardware. But iPhone lost its allure when it started to reach the hands of every tom d*** and harry. I miss the days of only a select few being able to afford them. 

================
My 2 cents ....

it's an effing phone FFS !!!! So why do you need to feel "special" ? Like women needing extremely skimpy lingerie to feel more confident???

haiyo... all this things is changing the file "structure" already from ext4 which is what i use when i tried dual booting during my uni years with Ubuntu.

now going to ext2? why not ext0, this is faster?

as some genius guy replied the difference is minimal now, as we have faster hardware now which negates the benefits from journaling the filesystem for better integrity. therefore, ext2 is really extinct and we can have more reliable filesystems which does not impedes the speed

...In the meantime, as is usually the case in these scenarios, there's absolutely no cause for alarm. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Whether you're surfing the Web on your PC or getting online from your phone, a little caution and some common sense will go a long way in keeping you safe from the big, bad virus monsters lurking around our virtual worlds....

what i did was take the picture i want, make it 482x<around400+> then add black colour to the remaining parts of the top to become 482x802. so for example my pic i manage to make it 482x440, then i need to add 482x362 black colour on top of the pic so it will become 482x802.

It's not "just a file system tweak". Ext2 was the old linux filesystem from I can't recall how many years back. Then they went to Ext3 and Ext4. Ext4 as the guy explained supports journaling ie allows recovery in case of screwed up writes. So I suppose Google chose the latest option with built in safety. And, this is a mobile device where you are expected to CHARGE your phone every day or so, and it is not a Nokia 3310 tongue.gif

Meaning if i were to change to Ext2..my note 2 would be prone to danger in case of faulty flash? ie now i could just reflash to get everything's in order..with Ext2 and faulty flash my phone gets to be paperweight?

Dont get the relationship between safety features for write failure and device charging..forgive me sire..for ayam noob

It's like changing your HDD from NTFS to FAT32. There are some safety features built into NTFS for better file management. As to bricking, there's always the risk when flashing, although I don't know if after you've converted to ext2, flashing a new ROM will reformat it as ext4. Maybe asking in that thread could be useful, since the OP says he has been using it for a long time.

Oh sorry....I didn't answer your question properly.

Write safety means increased I/O, therefore increased current usage. That's why ext2, without the I/O overhead, would logically save you some juice.

BTW ... for guys who are in tech support, or just enjoy this kind of stuff:


http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus7/comments/1h...able_usb_drive/
I realize this may or may not be possible but I figured I'd ask. I know that tablets can be used as mass storage devices when plugged in to a PC via USB. I also know that it's quite easy to make a USB thumb drive bootable. What I'd like to know is if there is a way to setup the tablet's storage in a way that will make it bootable if it was plugged in via USB at startup. I'm not asking about booting in to android on a PC, I would have a different os on the volume and use that for PC booting. Yes I could just use a USB drive, but I want to know if this is possible.


ANSWER:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...kery.drivedroid

DriveDroid allows you to boot your PC from ISO/IMG files stored on your phone. This is ideal for trying Linux distributions or always having a rescue-system on the go... without the need to burn different CDs or USB pendrives. The paid version of DriveDroid does not include ads and helps the developer.

DriveDroid also includes a convenient download menu where you can download USB-images of a number of operating systems from your phone.

You can also create USB-images which allows you to have a blank USB-drive where you can store files in. Another possibility is to use tools on your PC to make a bootable USB-drive out of the blank image that DriveDroid created.

How do you make this work?
* Connect your phone to your PC using an USB cable
* Download an image file (.iso or .img) or create one
* Select the image file in DriveDroid to let your phone 'host' the file over USB
* (Re)start your PC and make sure the correct boot priority is set in the bios
* The image should now be booted on your PC

I get the part in regards to why ext2 saves more juice due to inexistence of safety features..much like cars with airbags cost more than the one without...bt i wonder is the risk worth the effort? If its just an increased in risk in terms of chances of bricking much like today..then ayam willing to do it..just put a reminder to change it back to ext4 when want to flash new rom..but if the risk involves is higher ie app needs reboot to properly installed pun boleh kena..then i shall shy shy awayla..lol..25% batt saving is worth the extra brain cell power to ponder i think

I suppose you could record some battery consumption data points before and after and make your research software do some gee whiz what-if modeling for you tongue.gif


UPDATE:
Anyway, it's just a FILE SYSTEM....your file will still exist whether it's FAT32 or NTFS.....only that NTFS provides a bit more checking that your file is not corrupt. But file systems have been around since computer storage began, so......

I believe it hit the battery pack, so both the aluminum and the battery stopped the bullet. It's a 4100mAh battery, so it's quite large.

Luckily the lithium didn't catch fire either.

I believe it hit the battery pack, so both the aluminum and the battery stopped the bullet. It's a 4100mAh battery, so it's quite large.

Luckily the lithium didn't catch fire either.

Nice one. I'd still prefer for the snap out case to be a full bezel enclosure though. That would make it perfect.

I prefer this wallet case mainly because of the creative design which can attach / detach the phone with backcover into the wallet pouch easily. Furthermore, it is with 3 card slots and one big cash slot. Another thing is the nice genuine leather rclxms.gif

BTW ... for guys who are in tech support, or just enjoy this kind of stuff:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus7/comments/1h...able_usb_drive/
I realize this may or may not be possible but I figured I'd ask. I know that tablets can be used as mass storage devices when plugged in to a PC via USB. I also know that it's quite easy to make a USB thumb drive bootable. What I'd like to know is if there is a way to setup the tablet's storage in a way that will make it bootable if it was plugged in via USB at startup. I'm not asking about booting in to android on a PC, I would have a different os on the volume and use that for PC booting. Yes I could just use a USB drive, but I want to know if this is possible.
ANSWER:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...kery.drivedroid

DriveDroid allows you to boot your PC from ISO/IMG files stored on your phone. This is ideal for trying Linux distributions or always having a rescue-system on the go... without the need to burn different CDs or USB pendrives. The paid version of DriveDroid does not include ads and helps the developer.

DriveDroid also includes a convenient download menu where you can download USB-images of a number of operating systems from your phone.

You can also create USB-images which allows you to have a blank USB-drive where you can store files in. Another possibility is to use tools on your PC to make a bootable USB-drive out of the blank image that DriveDroid created.

How do you make this work?
* Connect your phone to your PC using an USB cable
* Download an image file (.iso or .img) or create one
* Select the image file in DriveDroid to let your phone 'host' the file over USB
* (Re)start your PC and make sure the correct boot priority is set in the bios
* The image should now be booted on your PC
*
Time to install Windows 7 from my Note 2 and blow some people's mind.

A 5 inch screen size is my limit,any larger and i might as well just use my ipad mini,i have seen people saying that s4 features are better than the note2 but battery wise note2 takes it all the way,but you as a note2 user,how you find it?

For battery wise, note 2 is a plus point. You can easily achieve 3-4hours SOT on normal usage on default rom and kernel. For me, i using wanamlite + adam kernel currently and can achieve 6 hours SOT on normal usage plus 1 days + standby time. tongue.gif

For the size of screen, 5.5 inch can even easily fit inside my slim fit jeans with a very large wallet case. So, no problem for me..

If 5" is your concern and your limit, then what is the point you consider note 2. unsure.gif

I find note 2 to be a superb device. Most Note 2 user never even consider S4 when it came out. And some that went over to S4 came back to Note 2 also.

Basically once you use a larger screen device it is not easy to accept going back to a smaller screen. Plus the battery life is a killer on Note 2. icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi yes, asking in the Note 2 thread, a device 5.5" in size, yet you are saying you are constrained to 5" max. Well, as has been pointed out by some of the answers to you, the battery life is a killer on this device ie it kills EVERYTHING ELSE (except the larger 6" Huawei with 30% more battery).

I would take a presumption you are female from your username. A lot of women use the Note2, whether carried in the hand bag, clutched in the hand, or perhaps having it jut halfway out of the jeans pockets. Even if you're a guy, there's no problem as evidenced by the many male users here.

But if you want a max 5" device, then go for the many other 5" device choices.

Be specific on the features. Whether its a just a gimmick, or something to show off, or something that is nice to have or is it really something that you need to use regularly. Think along those lines.

And yes people here will recommend Note 2. Actually I would recommend Note 3 if you can wait.

Your requirement already give you the answer. Note2 is too big for you
Personally I will consider note2 over S4 anytime. Whatever additional stuffs on S4 is gimmicky n worse it doesn't work 100% well. Only good point of S4 over note2 I see is just nicer display. If you want S4 get the 32gb LTE i9505 n not the 16gb i9500 as usable space only 8gb for you to use

Do be specific on what features, as antt00 said. Quite a number are rather gimmicky as evidenced by posts in the S4 thread, some can be useful depending on individual. For smoothness, Note 2 still holds its own vs S4, and the perception of smoothness is better on the Note 2.

If you want office productivity, the S-Pen is a real bonus since you can write your notes and email them.

Then just take the Note 2, since I think you can get it for around 1700 or less. Or if you want to wait the Note 3 should be here by end Sep, mid Oct probably.

things like air view can be done with just your fingers on the s4, but requires the s-pen on the note 2, but personally i prefer doing it with the s-pen. also, taking notes without a stylus is hectic, and please don't mention those few ringgit stylus because their tip is so damn fat that writing with it doesn't feel natural in any possible way. but then again, that's just my own preference.

of course, since the s-pen is one of the main attraction of the note 2, so no one would use it without the s-pen anyways. but with that said, there still are quite a number of users who don't/rarely touch the s-pen because they don't use those features that require it.

See, the S-pen uses what is known as an Active Digitizer, meaning that it is the same type as used by Architects, CAD draftsmen, Digital Artists. This is what sets the Note family apart from ALL OTHER smartphones and featurephones out there. This allows you pinpoint accuracy in writing and drawing, and has pressure sensitivity to simulate thinner or thicker strokes.

As hooh888 pointed out, the others can only use the fat styli that are not accurate and I have tried a few myself on my other Android.

MXPlayer can play MKV nicely on the Note 2. But the MKV format is just a container. Depends on the codec it was encoded in, and you can download codec packs for different players. Don't know about the green line though.

No. Samsung also provided an alarm feature which will sound if you walk away holding the Note without the S-pen.

So far never felt any looseness been using since Oct last year. Also stock rom got detection if you walk away without inserting your spen. Also you can buy replacement. Also, i dun think that is a really valid concern, now it just sounds like you are making excuse. tongue.gif

See, the S-pen uses what is known as an Active Digitizer, meaning that it is the same type as used by Architects, CAD draftsmen, Digital Artists. This is what sets the Note family apart from ALL OTHER smartphones and featurephones out there. This allows you pinpoint accuracy in writing and drawing, and has pressure sensitivity to simulate thinner or thicker strokes.

As hooh888 pointed out, the others can only use the fat styli that are not accurate and I have tried a few myself on my other Android.
MXPlayer can play MKV nicely on the Note 2. But the MKV format is just a container. Depends on the codec it was encoded in, and you can download codec packs for different players. Don't know about the green line though.

Do you plan to get it at a Samsung outlet or somewhere else? Are you getting an SME set or parallel import?


I suggest you read posts 3 and 4 first to know the device and what to do when you get it. Then when you want to play with it some more, read post 5, 12, 13.

fixed my own name tagging

Slim Bean short review:
Pros
small size ROM (90+ mbs)
have an Aroma AIO selection for stuff like GApps, face unlock and such (110+mbs)
pretty stock
various additional tweakings (something like SF)
multi DPI (unlike PA, its more of a simple option)
darker screen (somehow i feel so, maybe its the dark option)

Cons
FC on clicking Dev Tools / DEveloper options in settings (FC for Settings app)
missing cLocK app, crucial in a CM10.1 ROM, waitaminute.. is this CM10?
multiDPI (it was 240dpi, i changed it back to stock) causing apps to have weird reactions though it was at stock
various overlapping and lost settings (to change their own mDNIe, i had to scroll to System instead of Interface / Display. weird

I'm sure you've been reading uncle benny's posts in the Mega thread. He makes sense, and if you don't play heavy games, Mega could be good for the screen SIZE, and a good price around 1300-1400.

But, Note 2 is now only 1600 or less, and having equivalent or better performance, with the S-Pen if you are into productivity and note taking.

Note 3 should be expected at least 2199 for starters of whatever variants that it will have.

if you absolutely can't wait to get a phone, then go for Galaxy Mega since it's cheaper and bigger laugh.gif
Reason: Note 2 will go obsolete come Nov'13 in Malaysia as by that time the Note 3 is expected to be released. So, by getting yourself a Mega, you won't feel the pinch so much since you paid cheaper and no direct replacement as the Note 3 is the successor of Note 2 laugh.gif

Obsolete hardware is still every bit as functional as the new shiny..... I mean a Core 2 Duo is still as usable as a Core i3/i5 Ivy Bridge or Haswell unless you the need to play 100FPS for the latest games. My last PC lasted me 6 years before I did the upgrade.

Purely as a phone, there is no functional difference between a Nokia 3310 and the Note1/2/3 tongue.gif

from couple of comments:


Lil bit • 3 hours ago
Hope there is a big display version as well, and waterproof, to punish the Togari. Sony need some serious punishment for omitting the led flash, there was no reason to be that stupid. It has given me a growing distaste for all Sony products, wishing all the best for note 3, may you crush the Togari and teach Sony a lesson about the obvious.

Gilles LeBlanc Lil bit • an hour ago
I totally agree, Z Ultra's lack of flashlight, haptic home buttons to maximize screen size aswell as no proper split screen multitasking along with battery to screen size ratio is no red hereing. I started out wanting to buy it but my hate for it grows. Things are shifting back to HTC T6 and Note.

So 5,99 inches is NOTE 3.... That means that 5,7 is NOTE 3 mini ??

Hope there is a big display version as well, and waterproof, to punish the Togari. Sony need some serious punishment for omitting the led flash, there was no reason to be that stupid. It has given me a growing distaste for all Sony products, wishing all the best for note 3, may you crush the Togari and teach Sony a lesson about the obvious.

Interesting article, although I do not agree with all the points

Editorial: Apple, Google and the failure of Android's open

Extremely long article, but apart from the first couple of paragraphs, it seems the author is just taking too much of a stab at the definition of open = poor/fail and that Android users are cheapskates....

The article link I provided speculated that 4 out of the 8 refer to US Carrier variants, so that will mean 4 models for International versions.

Similar to the current situation, where we don't care about US Carrier variants, and they don't care about our models.

You know, I don't know if you've watched the PC vs Mac ads that were popular a few years ago. There were many comments that the guy playing a Mac just had an overly smug expression that was begging for his face to be bashed in.

I guess this whole wrong attitude of snob appeal is in the DNA of the company, the products, AND the userbase........

Purely as a phone, there is no functional difference between a Nokia 3310 and the Note1/2/3 tongue.gif

I suggest you read posts 3 and 4 first to know the device and what to do when you get it. Then when you want to play with it some more, read post 5, 12, 13.

Wah how to teach. Its best you just explore and press every single thing u can. Best way to learn. Look at the manual Benny stated as many newbie said it was useful. unsure.gif

Also look in youtube sure to have lots of tip and tricks that can be easily learn as you can see it unlike a forum where you only see words. We can help with specific issues but general things like this is not practical. Also here is a youtube link to someone that made god knows how many episodes on tips & tricks for note 2. rclxub.gif

I'm sure you've been reading uncle benny's posts in the Mega thread. He makes sense, and if you don't play heavy games, Mega could be good for the screen SIZE, and a good price around 1300-1400.

But, Note 2 is now only 1600 or less, and having equivalent or better performance, with the S-Pen if you are into productivity and note taking.

Note 3 should be expected at least 2199 for starters of whatever variants that it will have.
*
I would prefer screen size...S-Pen i dont think will use...even my wife also never use the S-Pen...but she loves the Note 2 writing chinese characters in messages using finger only...very fast and accurate!!! No need to do the "han yu pin yin" crap.

I wonder Mega is as good as taking notes (in terms of response)...i write English only...tried on Note 2...very good response and accurate!

Mega can never match note2 accuracy , smoothness, efficiency in note taking as it lacks a stylus. NOTE2 stylus is not those normal stylus n design to work with Note2 only. It will never work on any other touchscreen phones
Using a normal stylus on mega writing notes is as good as not even doing it. Is equally bad as other touchscreen phones except possibly upcoming xperia Z ultra

I found out you don't need tibu to freeze. From the app mamager,simply hitting Disable is a freeze. The app will disappear from the app drawer,but still visible at the bottom of yr app manager list. If u also have tibu, it will show as frozen. Same effect.

You won't hardbrick unless the sds bug gets invoked in which case u have to send to sc. You will probably get a bootloop if you did anything wrong. Just rewipe and reflash. But please don't jump into flashing without reading and understanding. Saves you anguish.

hey muctabucta, remember the tw_status_bar_expanded.xml file in res\layout that we used for the notification background? i saw somewhere in xda forum stating that the brightness bar can be set to transparent within the same file as well. based on my assumption from what i can find in the file, my only logical assumption is to change the value here:

from this
android:id="@id/brightness_controller" android:background="#ff000000"

to this
android:id="@id/brightness_controller" android:background="#00000000"

i've not tried it out myself, but you can try it first if you want to and please share the results with us if you do. i will try it after work.

Mega can never match note2 accuracy , smoothness, efficiency in note taking as it lacks a stylus. NOTE2 stylus is not those normal stylus n design to work with Note2 only. It will never work on any other touchscreen phones
Using a normal stylus on mega writing notes  is as good as not even doing it. Is equally bad as other touchscreen phones except possibly upcoming xperia Z ultra

Very very briefly, you have 2 classes of ROMs for Android devices in general. One is based on stock ROMs for the device (TouchWiz in the case of Samsung), the other is based on Google's AOSP (Android Open Source Project).

TW (short for TouchWiz) based custom ROMs usually retain and ENHANCE the available stock apps, and give you some extra features like being able to control CPU speed, screen color values, switch DPI etc. They are also known as "cooked" ROMs, and the authors are called "chefs".

You usually get all the Samsung stuff available, unless it's a "slimmed" ROM where the chef has cut out what they feel is unnecessary.


AOSP ROMs, since they are from the freely available Google sources, can be recompiled by developers and features added, optimized or subtracted depending on the philosophy of the dev team. These are "compiled" ROMs and the developers are called developers, not chefs.

AOSP ROMS do not contain the Samsung specific features of TouchWiz like S-View or whatever "S-something" app bundled by Samsung, but since this is Android, there are either replacements or close equivalents of the same apps on the Play Store.

Note that even if you use AOSP, you DO NOT lose the S-pen function, only the S-applications that use it. Any other drawing app can still use the S-Pen.

It's all a personal preference and getting used to a specific ROM type's features. See post 9, the sifus there all use a wide variety of ROMs, and the "flashoholics" change ROMs as often as they, um, make their beds I suppose. tongue.gif

Choice is the key word of Android.

One thing to note, is the S-Note app. It is a fantastic piece of software from Samsung, but unfortunately it only works on the Note family. This is a form of lock in. To avoid this, I recommend HandyNote Pro or others here may recommend other S-pen note taking apps.

Ok hope that was a sufficient introduction.

alexng2208 or antt00 or noobi3 can provide you with more excruciating details of all the ROMs they've experienced.

Sometimes recognition and appreciation of the efforts one puts in gives one much more satisfaction than monetary rewards. That's why some lawyers do pro bono work. Just keep it up, mate.

I saw your other thread. You are a very smart person. Better root your own device. And you can implant some nanotech stuff in your bf to improve his performance. whistling.gif

Good to have EE person with embedded linux knowledge. There is another guy doing that here.

hey muctabucta, remember the tw_status_bar_expanded.xml file in res\layout that we used for the notification background? i saw somewhere in xda forum stating that the brightness bar can be set to transparent within the same file as well. based on my assumption from what i can find in the file, my only logical assumption is to change the value here:

from this
android:id="@id/brightness_controller" android:background="#ff000000"

to this
android:id="@id/brightness_controller" android:background="#00000000"

i've not tried it out myself, but you can try it first if you want to and please share the results with us if you do. i will try it after work.

That is strange
It will always work in ALL my androids including Note2
Doesn't matter what Rom or kernel you are on
Is a simple one step process
Than you either flash zip file in recovery or extract the img file out n use mobile Odin to flash it

Errr .... he enjoys Futurama, as do I, and it is full of risque references and intellectual comedy.

Then again, embedded device programmers are probably a male dominant discipline, more so than general EE I guess. You've been there and seen how it's like in Uni, so I think you shouldn't have a problem.

Maybe you could give us a quick enlightenment on embedded programming. Is it largely focused on sensor input? Booting and instructions should still be similar to general purpose computing right?

Amoi arrr....rooting doesn't change anything on your phone laaaa. It just adds SU and allows root access and rwrrx controls with chmod etc.

It's what you do AFTER rooting that may or may not have further impacts.

from my very short stint with PA way back, its a highly subjective ROM. if you wanna try AOKP / AOSP, first

1. flash Sentinel. a close to stock ROM. if you like this, and want more features
2. flash Domination or SlimBean, similarly close to stock AOSP but with some AOKP features baked in. if you want MOARRRR
3. flash PA all in one, team baked, these type

What are you waiting for, just root it. I think installing themes do not need root though.

The Framaroot method is supposedly the easiest now, the other ones are more traditional. Anyway I've been rooted for so long I can't recall how it's done. You can check the links to dr. ketan's posts on XDA.

Do your rooting before midnight so that people here can help before they've gone to sleep.

You can even flash pre-rooted stock roms directly. Start your downloading now though if you want to do that, as it's about 1.2Gb in size.

Note, do not flash DME6 and/or DMF2 ROMs until Samsung has sorted the sh*t out.

It's true. A colleague of mine got the update. Voice navigation works. Can't wait for the update (lazy to install via APK haha)

This is wonderful.....but I use Waze more, since Google maps to date has not been very feature rich.

Maybe time to switch once you get the prompt to update? laugh.gif

I don't use Waze. Just relied on Google Maps if I don't know how to get to a certain place. The official voice navigation for Malaysia in the new update is a welcome plus as I have been waiting for it for a long time laugh.gif

Some technical writeup on big.LITTLE on slashdot.

As always, reading slashdot is about reading the comments, some of which are thoughtful, some are rubbish, some are really funny.


hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/07/10/0237202/biglittle-arms-strategy-for-efficient-computing

2 comments:

Big/little is a lazy way out of the power problem... Because instead of investing in design and development and in fine grained power control in your processor, you make the design decision of, "Heck with this -- silicon is cheap!" and throw away a good chunk of silicon when the processor goes into a different power mode... You have no graceful scaling -- just a brute force throttle and a clunky interface for the Kernel.

So, not all ARM licensees have been convinced or seen the need to go to a big/little architecture because big/little has that big disadvantages of added complexity and wasted realestate (and cost) on the die. Unlike nVidea (Tegra) and Samsung (Exynos), Qualcomm has been able to thus far keep power under control in their Snapdragon designs without having to resort to a big/little and has thus been able to excel on the phone. So far, the Qualcomm strategy seems to be a winning one for phones in terms of both overall power savings and performance per miliwatt -- where on phones every extra hour of battery life is a cherished commodity. Such may not be true for tablets that can stand to have larger batteries and where performance at "some reasonable expectation" of battery life may be the more important.

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

The power difference between an A7 and an A15 is huge. There's really nothing that you could do to something like an A15 to get it close to the power consumption of the A7 without killing performance. They're entirely different pipeline structures (in-order, dual-issue-if-you're-luck vs out-of-order multi-issue). The first generation from Samsung had some bugs in cache coherency that made them painful for the OS, but the newer ones are much better: they allow you to have any combination of A7s and A15s powered at the same time, so if you have a single CPU-bound task you can give it an A15 to run on and put everything else on one or more A7s (depending on how many other processes you've got, running multiple A7s at a lower clock speed may be more efficient than running one at full speed). The OS is in a far better place to make these decisions than the CPU, because it can learn a lot about the prior behaviour of a process and about other processes spawned from the same program binary.
