[Q] ; Advise for buy a Notes. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I am currently using a galaxy s and a xperia pro.. Now I am thinking about selling these and buy a galaxy notes instead.
Is it a good idea? Is Notes a stable phone and not full with bugs?
I am hoping it would be an upgrade for me or is the difference not so big?
Regards

I would say that it will probably be a huge difference (pun intended) if you decide to get the Note. I would recommend that you go to a store with a live demo unit and try the size out, it is not for everyone. But I would say the Note is a stable phone.

I gave my SGS up for the note, and i love it..

from my experience, its an amazing phone. best one i ever had so far.
people say its huge and how can I carry it - but frankly it no problem at all. in the begining i was using the bluetooth but not any more.
the only thing i am not happy about is battery life - for now i keep the 3g/wirelss turned off to prolong the battery life. I havent had time to try different roms yet but I am hoping to get on one of the custom rom soon and believe this will improve the bat life also.
oh by the way the stock rom is very stable. i havent had any issue so far with anything.

pretty much OT here, but: You should think about getting a custom ROM. I´m on Rocket V.22 and my phone lasts more than 2 days with wifi ON and moderate usage. Kind of a miracle^^

yeah am in middle of rocket or darky; have to try them both to decided which 1 to stick to. have you tried darky ? lots of good reviews abt it too.
if the battery last for 2 days on moderate use then it sure is miracle .
i will try to flash the rom this Friday and see how it goes.

I lost my SGS and got the Notes. You will soon get used to the big screen and everything else seems so small after that. I was also having stable CM9 from teamhacksung on SGS. That's the only two draw back I can think of.

No haven´t tested darky yet, I´m just too happy with Rocket But anyway, you have to load & reload the Note a few times until it gets its full battery potential...and this it to do after every flashing session

but now im testing ElegantWhite-CM7.2 by TAZ...nice and freash interface...
It looks about right, considering you've hardly used it. Now get 3 days of using the thing and that WILL be impressive!
I get about 4 days out of my SGS2 if I hardly use it, which is quite common since I'm at a PC all day and have my tablet at night (if I'm not at a PC).

I'll bet you if I took my Touch Pro out it would turn on.
Wait, nvm, I forgot the battery expanded. I should check if it still works. I need a new battery for it, but it should work. I should go check how android development is going for it.
The fuze forums are pretty much dead now. lol. I should buy an HD2 again and make sure I don't destroy it like I did last time.
I bet it works just fine. My first phone, a Panasonic GD-450 is 13 years old and it still works, but the battery only lasts for about 20 minutes

A new battery would cost me $1.30, but since I can only run android from Haret then it's not the same as flashing on the HD2 with NAND

Rom with best battery life and speed?

Hi I was wondering, which rom has the best battery life and is nice and smooth. Not really looking for anything with a bunch of extras, maybe just stock look, that 14 toggle thing if any rom has those, nice battery life, and one that is nice and smooth and not too glitchy. Not really speed, more smoothness. Thanks.
My recommendation...
[ROM] [23.01] Chrack´s XXLA4 - FM2.0 Kernel - Multi CSC [Full 546MB / Small 337MB]
with the following kernel...
[Kernel][01/21/12][Samsung Galaxy Note][AbyssNote][v3.3]

Full or small?
I don't know what's wrong with my device, however, unlike other ROMs, Cassie's XtraLite ROM does not give me a battery overheat problem. I am using it with the latest SpeedMod kernel from hardcore (same reason, this kernel does not give me overheat problem on my device).
Cassie's XtraLite ROM does not have all the eye candy, but I prefer function over fashion. So far I'm happy with the performance and the battery life.
What do u guys think about rocketrom v19 with abyss kernal 3.2? Thats what i am running right now...only picked it cuz it has the most replies/views in the forums...should i switch?

If you like it and everything is running well & smoothly, then you don't need to switch
As for me, I stop flashing around and start enjoying my Note I settled with Cassie's XtraLight ROM and speedmod kernel.

Feels fast and smooth. Battery life seems good. And its pretty configuable (as much or as little bloatware as you like).

Probably. Didn't work out well for me. And forum is kind of an "in crowd" who ignore posts about problems.

I use rocketrom 19.1 with speed kernel. Been a few days since I've used it and I've been getting roughly 14-18 hours with moderate to high usage everything turned on bluetooth,gps,wifi, and medium brightness. If you have already invested in juice defender ultimate and battery saver pro you can squeeze even more out of your battery. I have both installed and I am getting 50+ hours web browsing, streaming music, and playing games like order of chaos. I'm a battery nut and pretty OCD about it lol

Can you look at battery stats,click on display ~ how long the display is on?

I have tried all the roms for the note but i keep coming back to stock XXLA4.
For me that works still the best and have the best battery life. All the other roms are nice and look great and have lots of other stuff but the all have small problems. But it is nice to test them and see for your self what you like the most.
yep stock is better wait for CM9 casue CM is the best

[Q] Is there any way to stop my Note getting too hot!!

Hey, When I use my galaxy note with games or web browsing, it gets really hot, this is worrying. Im running Kingdroid notemainia v3.0 with Franco Kernel. I know that some combinations of roms and kernels can reduce the CPU heat. Any suggestions please?
Best solution is not to worry - it's quite normal.
Sent from my GT-N7000
Thanks for your reply, everyone says that but last night it got seriously hot, although I had just flashed a new rom, is it still nothing to worry about? My main concern is internal cosmetic damage.

Thats clever, So as the battery gets hotter and hotter the CPU slows down ? To prevent extreme overheating ?
Think I might give that a try ! Mine does get hot.........But i do abuse it !
With cpu this fast, battery which is big and a screen to match, do expect it to be cold?
How hot is hot for you?
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums
mine reached 57c 2 days ago ... it's summer here and this started to make me worry
can SetCPU work with rooted GB Note (no custom kernels just using Chainfire's Kernel) ?
So long as your rooted it will work, However Overclocking wont work unless the kernel supports it.
I recommend undervolting or changing modems.
I did both and it solved my problem of heating up. Now I can do anything, heat isn't a problem for me anymore.
Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone
I'm kinda new to installing roms and the rest of it, how can I undervolt and change modems, is there any recommendations for this?

Changing modems is straight forward, however because not all devices are specifically built the same, undervolting is a matter of trial and error.
Are you rooted? Stock rom or custom rom?
Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone
Yes I'm rooted and running rocket rom v6. Thanks

Here you go mate, I take it that you know how to flash since you're on a custom rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645202
You have a lot to choose from the list of modems. Trial and error, check which one delivers good performance yet battery friendly for you as it varies from place to place.
Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone
Regarding undervolting, I'll leave that for now as it's more advanced and could cause damage if not done correctly.
Before proceeding with modem flash, please backup your efs folder or simply get an app from playstore to do it for you. If I remember correctly, it's call efs backup.
Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone
Thanks bro, ill give it a shot

I too had the similar issue with the Galaxy Note. It is quite common while doing CPU/GPU intensive things such as gaming, rendering web pages, etc. I had called up Samsung recently regarding when i had recently got my Note and they responded by saying "Its noting to get too worried about as it is common for this model to get heated due to the fast processor and thin body"
Like I have mentioned earlier, I used to have the same issue. Changing my modem had helped it keep cool on hspa+ while still performing great. I also undervolted cpu and gpu to help save battery life, I never noticed the heat after that. I was surprised about this due to the fact that I hadn't underclocked the cpu. So I'm getting full performance and great battery life. Couldn't be more happier
Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone
Shadyr25, could you link me to a modem I could use? I'm on Stock GB, rooted

Sure mate, here you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645202
There is no best modems, what it really depends on is the area you're in and which network you're with, through trial and error you have to find the one that best suits you. You may find some to perform extremely well whilst it's not battery friendly, some maybe to your likening where it would perform well whilst being battery friendly and last may perform poor whilst being extremely battery friendly.
There are some marked known to be good modems in the link I've provided, try them and if not your liking try the others on the list
Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone

MIUI for our beloved N4: finally?

Hey MIUI fanatics out there!
Last night, I stumbled on this post on G+:
https://plus.google.com/103335486449456213484/posts/DHeDAbUeVsQ
The guy clearly runs a full blown android 4.2.2 MIUI rom on his GNex, which is pretty exciting, cuz a port to our device shouldn't be that difficult at this point. Or is it...?
Well, thought I had to share this. Let's keep our fingers crossed...
Regards.

MIUI on any device is like running a port of a port on a port of a port that was ported from a port that only works right 68% of the time. No thanks.
(Sarcasm caution)
What is miui..?
I've seen it mentioned since the nexus s days, never run it on a phone.
Not my thing..
Lol okay obviously I'm the only one who's excited

People here usualy poo-poo MIUI, although they will claim anywhere else that Android=choice... Don't worry too much about this logic issue
OP, if you look at the MIUI forums, they have launched beta builds for Gnex and believe me there are a lot of bugs now. Once, it passes onto stable, someone or I might port it for mako.
Miui is always lagging way far behind Google on Android versions. And the version that they are on is usually very bug ridden. I like it but I hate dealing with major bugs, little bugs don't bother me to much.

Well, I ve tried V5 on the i9000, and it s simply so slow it cannot be used.
I also tried on the i9300, and it is quite nice over there, so there's hope.
But I agree, it is not as fast as a nice aosp/cm 10.1/AOKP ^^.
I like how different it looks, and weither I ll use it for a long time or not, well, let's see!
I d give a spin to iOS if it were ported, just for the sake of running it on the N4, ahha

You should look into the reason they are poo-pooed....they are a china development house and do alot of shady things. But you seem to have the logic part down so you'll not need to Google or anything.

[Q] looking for stable and battery friendly rom

So I got this phone and as I'm not a fan of the sense 5.0 I installed the GE from this topic here
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341395
I noticed that the battery was really really bad in this rom.
I was just wondering what is a good stable rom that is battery friendly. I'm not really a gamer so i don't need to worry about maxing out my specs.
Also I understand that there is no best rom I am just looking for the views of other people.
And a recommendation in kernel would be nice too.

One more vote for ARHD, really awesome battery life. Currently I'm running TrickDroid 8.0 and overnight I lost 11% while on ARHD it was 2% only. Plus, on TD8 I feel some nasty scrolling lag.
You realise that this thread will just end up a long list of different rom/kernel combinations? Which emphasises the fact that different people will recommend different combinations depending on their usage. The only way to know for yourself is to test them yourself - I know you will read that everywhere, but only because it's true.

Maybe give 'greenify' a try independent of ROM.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
When I received my one via ups I was so excited I turned it right on and activated it was that a bad idea? Should I had charged it first before turning on? I allowed it to die completely before the first charge my battery is alright I'm just wondering should I be getting better results? Also my phone shuts down on random and I have to hold volume down and power to reboot doesn't even go to bootloader. So I ran a ruu and now on complete stock to see if the issue goes away. I was also s off with revone I reverted back to s on before the ruu though I'm wondering is the shutting down have to do with me not charging and damaging the battery, the s off, or hardware. I'm hoping it was just a bad root so I dont have to swap phones anyone have any ideas?

I think we all understand it's best to find out for your self what the BEST ROM/KERNEL is. I think that some of of just like to see what everybody is using and how it is working for them in real world. I hate how alot of people in these threads are so reluctant to give out any info on what they are personally using.
