hey guys i am on non rooted phone
and there is a serious security issues in s-memo
i have afolder in s-memo which is password protected which contains my imp data
now when in s memo if anyone goes into search and types a file name he can easily see all my imp data without password
guys are you facing the same
plz help
thanks
Can you explain exactly how your searching for the file? Are you just clicking on the smemo app and once opened you type imp or .imp into the search or are you doing something else. If you explain I'll check for you right now, if you're still here.
thanks in advance for your help
i have created a folder names "imp msg" which is locked with password
there are 5 memos in the folder
Now when i search (option available after pressing menu button when in s-memo app) with any word which is in memo in the imp msg folder the memo appears directly which can be seen and on selection we can open that memo without entering password
hey except me no one has tried this out or is it that i am the only one facing this problem??

I have just tried it and can confirm that you are correct in your findings. There is a work around if you want to keep specific notes private, if you password protect individual files/s notes, they do not appear in the search results.
I know that it is not ideal but is a temporary fix.
You have to lock the Notes individually.

Dave

I pw locked 3 notes individually and was able to see them all by going to My Files>Application>SMemo>cache...all of them were right there, no pw needed.

Although my issue is specific to the Email.apk from the Galaxy Tab, I expect that if this is a real problem then we will experience it with other apps sooner or later.
For some reason the Galaxy Tab Email APK does not show properly on the i9000 screens. Important parts of the interface are cut off, rendering it virtually unusable. I don't expect that it is broken, just need to change settings somewhere and make it draw properly on our screen.
Some advice and direction would be greatly appreciated on going about this
There is a modded version of the TAB's email apk which works a charm on the SGS. You can find it here.

Hotmail is working for me ... I had to adjust settings and change it to an exchange server, but it works.
The main problem for me is not being able to see the bottom of the APK to hit refresh or confirm other menu selections.
I think you mean the "load more messages" thing? That is weird indeed. Could be a bug. But really this is not the right thread to bring it up, do it the one I linked to.
I appreciate the help but you would do well to read that thread first before recommending it, as well as understand my question before filing it away.
1. Not talking about "load more messages". It works sometimes and other times it doesn't typically when there is no saved data on it, it works fine. When there is any, it doesn't pull and gives the load more messages issue.
2. The APK works fine .. it just needs to be calibrated to our screen setting. This may be a problem singular to this APK but I don't know for sure. To cover all bases I'm trying to see if I can get my hands on the odex from the Tab so I can see if that is needed to make it work correctly.
Also this has more to do with debugging APKs than it does to do with this specific email client.
You could download a TAB firmware and get the needed files?
I'd need to install it on a Galaxy Tab (which I don't have) just to pull the odex :/

Okay, perhaps a consolidated thread of verified problems and potential workarounds might be good for the forum.
I'll list what I know here and try and keep it updated. I don't intend on this thread to become a duplicated discussion thread so I'll link to other discussion threads from this one if they exist.
If you're posting a problem in this thread, please also post how you've verified the problem and on what software versions! Please don't use this thread to post "how do I" or "it keeps rebooting" because that doesn't help anyone.

(Don'tHitMeHardOnTheHead!At0934) - does not work
ferrari99 - does work
I would appreciate independent verification of this.
Music control returns to notification shade after being disabled and after a reboot.
Doesn't happen all of the time, may be related to using ADB
Box in music app remains unchecked and must be checked and unchecked again to make controls disappear again.
Home screen displays momentarily before lock screen.
Multiple reports
No apparent impact but it shouldn't happen.
Happens with WidgetLocker too.
External SD does not mount every time.
Can't be seen, can't be remounted
I think it only happens after a "reboot" not a Power Off/Power On cycle
Only known workaround is full Power Off/On
Not sure if it's widespread so independent verification would be good.
Multiple exchange accounts disabled in LGemail app.
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986385
Workaround is to use Android Exchange client (see here)
Camera brightness not listening to "auto" brightness, but uses the manual settings.
Independant verification would be good.
Workaround is to use manual brightness setting.
Stock Lockscreen showing all messages, unread or otherwise
Only happens if you use an alternative Messaging app (HandCent, Chomp etc)
Displays total number of messages in stock app
Fix is to remove/lock messaging and mms apps in /system/app/ (see here and here)
This has consequences (nothing major) so read up about it first.
Can anybody verify behaviour with stock messaging app?
Stock Weather app is not location aware and is slow to update
Seems to be no workaround
See discussion here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992732
I also get a reading of -18C every time I change from WiFi to cell... ?
Phone goes totally unresponsive (locked up)
See discussion here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12186328
Possibly only whilst charging?
Battery pull seems only fix.
Feel free to post your reports, tips or workarounds!
Nice idea for a thread, should be sticked ;p
Lockscreen showing unread messages, even when all are read, when using third party messaging apps like handcent.
No workaround yet afaik.

Great thread. I hope these listed oddities can be patched up by LG. Is there any way owners can submit bug reports to manufacturers? If any 2x follower can recall, in Engadget's review in ref. to the Gallery app crash (search "Gallery" in the article) that appears to be fixed in the retail units as no user here has listed that as a reoccurring problem.
Or... I suppose we simply have to root this beast.

Custom roms may help but if this thread becomes meaningful it will eventually rank high enough to be noticed. I know of other examples here on XDA that manufacturers and carriers have monitored.

Just tried a simple PDF and an office 2003 doc, works fine here.
Another Tipp I found over at MoDaCos O2X forum:
Press and hold HOME for a second, while holding HOME press POWER button once, screen will flash and you got yourself a screen capture which will be stored on your Internal SD Card

about the messages on the lockscreen:
it shows unread msgs in stock msg-app. Open stock app and read your msgs, you'll see.
setting Notification off in stock app makes no difference, i tried that right away.
My "fix" was to use goto lockscreen instead.
I suppose one could just freeze the msg-app with titanium, but i haven't tried that myself.
Hope this helps somebody.

Yep, it's already on post 1...
Another usefull tip might be disabling/uninstalling the carkit app. Experienced a big battery drain myself and read about others with the same issue. As it appears it uses the sensors for 100% of the time.

Hi.
How does one remove name day in the s-planner (calendar) app?
Thanks
Humphster
How did you get them there in the first place? That's not a standard feature?
Sent from my superior GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
I didn't. I have reason to suspect Google did.
Actually, I found the answer. S-planner - menu - settings - calendars* - XXXXXX.gmail.com
Calendars really doesn't look like a menu and that's the reason I didn't find it at first.
it's just a matter of unchecking the name day files.
Thanks for your reply. I hope this will help someone else, too.

I made the the mistake of activating the lockscreen password feature of my Galaxy Note and now I can't seem to deactivate the feature. When trying to turn off screen lock password under the security menu - you will see in the screenshot that it "deactivate" option is greyed out.
Anyone know why its like this? How to go around this problem? By the way, I am using ICS Version 4.0.3.

Nope its not a custom ROM. I'm using the official update from Samsung.
setting - security - screen lock - select None
Edit : sorry just now seen screenshot, its not available for you.
are using any password storage appl n deleted it?
I think wiping can solve this, but not advisable on ICS.
have you tried changing the option ? Like selecting Pin Number, Then see if 'None' becomes selectable ?
Sure is strange

Hi,
If you go to the samsungdive.com website and register your device, you will be able to reset any activation priorly set with the remote 'unlock screen' feature.

Thanks for all the replies. Was able to finally reset the "unlock screen" by doing it via the samsungdrive website. Now its back to its default setting which is "swype". Thanks all!

Same happened to me, not sure whether you've had solved yours.
Anyway, go to Setting<Security<Clear credentials
i know this is an old post, but i faced somewhat of a similar problem. couldnt select any option but pin and password, everything else was greyed out.
go to settings---->security---->clear credentials (at the very bottom)
its caused by some certificate which doesnt let u remove lockscreen. hope it helps.
Hi, I've been having problems with Samsung Notes sharing, I was wondering if anyone knew where the actual notes are located so that when I can't share one to my compuer (which I never can) I can at least grab a copy from there. I tried looking but I couldn't find anything
Did you know that you can hold the s-pen button, double tap on the screen(unlocked), and it will open a new blank note? I have disabled the auto open air menu because of that, its so handy
To answer your question.. no clue.

The only thing you can do is share notes in PDF format to, say, your Dropbox account and view them from there. The notes directory cannot be accessed without root, and even then I'm not sure there is any PC app that can read the format.
I know it's not ideal, but you do a screen capture and then transfer the picture/screen capture

The problem happens exactly when I press on PDF, even sharking the Image would be fine for me but I can do neither. If I try to share the pdf it gets stuck in an infinite loading screen. Same with image. If I try text only then nothing happens. Only thing I can do is sdoc which well isn't really very useful and I've noticed that if I try to open some of them I get a "corrupted" message
