[Q] First impressions of Galaxy Note after upgrading from SGS2 PLZ read..

Hello everybody,
I just got my SGNote 2 days back after having used the S2 for last 1 year.. To be honest sgs2 is by far the BEST phone i have used till date and maybe the note can surpass its experience but currently i am little disappointed due to lack of knowledge about proper fw and modems for the note..
my pda and csc currently after buying from shop here in china is:zsLA2 and phone:XXLA4.. btw i got my sgs2 here in china as well so please avoid comments such as i faced last year sayn china quality bad and... it was true 5 years back but gotta see to believe where this country is heading towards so please no childish remarks such as get new phone or in other country..btw phone is manufactured in vietnam if thats a little consolidation my sgs2 was made in china and not 1 day did it give me problem expect random reboots but that was ONLY due to software..
I am satisfied with the brilliant screen and smoothness of the phone on touchwiz but very unhappy about battery life..i wont blame the phone but only GB since i had similar issues on some firmwares with sgs2 as well.. but check this. my phone was full charge and on flight mode overnight and when i checkd after leaving 12 hrs idle till morning it drained to 45%.. thats jus wtf statistics since phone was untouched and drained half battery.. huh? :s
anyways if any fellow note users have faced similar problems before can you please show some support and ideas to fix this issue..
btw currently i cannot atm upgrade to ICS since i m here in china for holidays till next 2 weeks and cannot download files from mediafire and such since all blocked by great firewall but as soon as i get back to college in kl id upgrade to ICS just like my SGS2.. I just loved the upgrade on sgs2! can you believe my battery life increased from 26hrs to 38+ with similar use.. its amazing really and i am hoping to get similar performance from this note as well since i want to use this device for a year till i think about sgs3 when price goes down
CHEERS mates and any comments and suggestions very much appreciated

Some app must be causing your phone to stay awake, check the battery usage chart for confirmation.
My phone drains hardly 3 or maybe 5 % tops at night. ofcourse the data and wifi are turned off when I sleep

Here is the battery usage stats to confirm my weird battery behavior..
Btw why cant i upload my screenshot directly which is in png format..wouldnt let me saying wrong extention. Had to take pic and upload that instead.. Not as convenient but oh well

You could just rename the extension as .jpg and upload.
regarding your problem, there is something that is keeping your phone awake constantly, could be that you have turned the sync on.
Just install better battery stats and CPU spy. These will help you know what is causing the issue.
Also turn off auto sync and/or any live wall papers that try and access internet intially to check if your battery is OK.
all the best!

that's what i thought also but il tell you the exact % usage maybe..
Display:47%
phone idle:13%
remaining 6 other things all around 5%.. doesnt seem anything wrong by the looks of it.. and when i click display it says time on only 1hr.. 1 hr should not consume 47% ryt??
btw thanks rijo and anil for fast replies.. i got cpu spy and its showing 61% at 200mhz and 29% deep sleep.. my auto sycn has been off as well since before but not background data that shouldn't matter m guessing..

Use better battery stats and badass battery monitor and identify the sucker!
By the look of your screen shot, it seems battery is dropping too fast even in deep sleep. Strange.

True. Why dont you do a factory wipe and clear dalvik cache.
What is your config by the way? Are you rooted?

sorry buddy haven't begun the process of rooting yet since i only had the phone 2 days and its very hard to download the files uploaded here from hotfile and such since its all blocked here in china..
i did do a factory reset in the shop before getting because there was some chinese fw on it before and i asked to put the latest eu one they had which was
PDA:ZSLA2
PHONE:XXLA4
CSC:ZSLA2
i found a nice forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
there are some odexed rooted and repacked files here and luckily there is one with torrent link which i can download
3*Files Wipe N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1 Open Europe (02/03/2012)
if you want No-wipe version, not flash "GT-N7000-MULTI-CSC-OXALC1.tar"- this will format your data

i contacted the dev if i can directly flash this using odin from pc as recommend by him on top of my LA4 without having to downgrade to KJ like chainfire recommends since i cannot find torrent for that file from CF
hopefully if dev gives affirmation then i plan to flash the odexed LC1 from odin then flash the I9220-N7000 LP1 ICS REPACK by chainfire to get ics running on my phone like s2 i had.. really miss it!
btw, can anyone provide me apk for mobile odin please since its not available in google play in china currently.. much appreciate all the help

You can definately flash that pre-rooted rom with Odin without any problems. I've done the same thing when I got my phone and have been flashing different roms since.
Eventually I wanted to check out ICS so I flashed the LP1 Repack and tried a couple of roms. At the moment I'm running Stunner 1.4.19 and that's definately one of the best roms I've ever used.
After you flash the pre-rooted rom you could try a Market fix to be able to download more apps in the store and get Mobile Odin.
As an alternative you could flash the Repack with pc Odin but that will increase the binary counter and void your warranty. The counter can be reset if you have a so called JIG which is basically just a USB connector with a resistor. Just look in the development section for more info.

thanks buddy will give the pre rooted rom a go in the morning currently engaged with rm-bm match.. intense! btw do i need to flash the cf kernel for the same fw after flashing the rom? or the pre root got cwm and su already? thanks a bunch atleast i feel safe to proceed once i collect all the files in morning.. have a good day y'all

The pre-rooted kernels don't come with CWM recovery, only SU, so you should either install it yourself or just flash a kernel with recovery, cf kernel will do just fine. Then flash the repack with Mobile Odin and then flash any ICS rom you want with recovery.

Aire you sure that you have a N7000 and not an I9220?

Are u sure you are serious?? you've been on XDA less than 3 months and you seem like one of the many people here who just post for the sake of posting something to increase their post count without giving any contribution to the discussion..
I have been around here for sometime and I do think I can read the model no of my phones either from the BOX and from the About Phone: Model no... and how i know you didn't even bother to read the previous posts is because in post 3 sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA is in the signature if you actually read about my issues and the helpful comments of the other members who genuinely understood my problem and suggested many possible solutions..
I apologize for being rude to you but you should not underestimate or demean the members here just because even now you have an android phone like others and feel you understand it all..no one does that's why this is such a humble and friendly community.. Cheers

Sorry guy i didnt knew all that things, i was trying to prevent bad things, because iveseen people that didnt know that they ha a i9220

I hate my phone :'(

Hello
When i bought my phone i loved it so much
Until the Phone start laggggging :banghead:
But after a while i installed my first custom rom the ANTONIOMESTRETTA KK9 v2 and then i found another rom called ROCKET ROM they said it is very fast (and it is and i decided to keep with the this rom until v22
And then after a while i started to hate my phone. . i change my phone's rom everyday
And sometimes every hour like today i switched to DARKYROM 3.4.1 and after that for one hour i switched to ics because now in GB there is a problem that when i downlad anything From opera browser and open it say
(ERROR IN OPENNING THE OMC FILE ) i think thst this problem is from the ics leaks.

I love my Note it is the best android device around (trust me), I am sorry yours started to lag but then again if you start to install lots of programs and random apps it will do this (just a guess you might have unlucky).
I have tried most of the ROMs manly for testing for my linuxonandroid project, and tbh found stock to be the best for me I just love the Spen features (Although stunner in tablet UI is just well stunning).
Correctly I am on the German ICS with root via mobile odin pros everoot and I love it but it will be nice once the bricking issues are sorted for sure.
I recommend a clean install and not using titanium or any other app to restore apps, just re download those you need and I have never had any lag

I have my Note from 1 week now, and i flash a couple of rom´s like Criskelo Rom, Kingdroid Right now im running Stock ICS Rooted and no lag at all maybe you do something wrong

Yeah, I love my Note as well and it is fast. I am on the official ICS German (LPY) build and rooted and love it, no problems found so far for me. I used to be on Stunner version .19 and it was one of the best custom ROMs I have ever run.

Wipe with abyss kernal 4.2 and then flash the GB rom with odin
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

lost the touchwiz lag by going CM9.

If you still have problems flash stock kk9 which is a very good stock base (well has been for me ) via PC Odin root it nd then do factory reset ect then unless you have some crap hidden from ics leak you should be running a nice clean rom
Also try wiping (format) everything in mounts and storage then flash stock via Odin and root that is the way I do it when want a really fresh install lol

I love my Note. I have had it for 3 months now and have tried nearly ever rom out there. Just due to interest. I find the Stock Roms the best also. GB Roms are very fast. But I love ICS too much. I got used to ICS on my Galaxy S2 before I upgraded. So once I got my Note I quickly jumped to ICS as soon as it was available. I was not a fan of the Chinese Leak. So I went back to GB for a while. But I have been running LPY for the past week and loved having ICS back. I have just updated to LPF Stock and so far very impressed. Its very quick n smooth :-D
I love my Note!
I don't like iPhones tho! LOL

I Had the lag problem initally at first too, I'm a iphone jb user so lag is really new to me. A easy fix is to use something like apex or go launcher and then limit the number of pages to like 3, super smooth now.

[Q] Upgrading Pandoriam (and custom roms in general)

This is a n00b question...
Pandoriam is the first custom rom I've installed. I've recently got a Telstra 4G SGS3 after being an iPhone jailbreak user for years. Love Android, love the Samsung and very pleased with how relatively easy it was to root, back everything up with Titanium Backup Pro and install a custom rom.
However, there are a number of quirks I encountered when restoring my apps + data, and there are a bunch of things I had to do after each reinstall of the rom (I needed to change a few options so I ended up wiping and reinstalling a few times).
So I'm wondering whether when the next Pandoriam version comes out I'll have to do a full wipe of data? Hoping not
And on that point, how frequently do Pandoriam updates come out?
PS Posting partially because I don't yet have the privileges to post in the dev forums. I was going to reply in the latest Pandoriam thread about photo sphere on Telstra i9305 (with Perseus kernel and Pandoriam v5) - it works for me (although it's patched together a bit weird, but I think that's the limitations of photo sphere).

Hahah that was my post about sphere mode, what you just told me makes it even harder for the dev now though
It is NOT required for you to wipe all your data every reflash but is RECOMMENDED
You can easily backup data by doing a nandroid backup (an option in CWM ClockWork Recovery aka recovery mode once you've flashed it on) and you can select what applications and what data you want to restore from (via AppExtractor so make sure to install that during the setup of Pandoriam); that making the whole reflash a 10 minute or so job
Having such a great and interactive developer leaves him to update the ROM regularly but that still doesn't mean you have to get every version as I know I just waiting on 4.0 for v5
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app

Cool, thanks. I asked because I got the impression that mainly you had to wipe when changing roms, but when upgrading you didn't need to.
Would prefer to play it safe though!
I've done a nandroid backup too but I thought that was more so you could recover back to your old configuration in toto. Good to know you can get back specific apps from that too - although to be honest, Titanium Backup's flashable update zip is pretty handy!

Also don't forget to backup your IMEI as a precaution

So regarding btemtd's latest post... if he does release a 5.1 version, which sounds like it would be a typical incremental release, would it probably be safe not to do a wipe, but just install on top? :cyclops:
This would be nice, obviously. To be honest, the only issue I'm coming across right now with the latest Pandoriam is Google+ not working, and I don't really use it.
For background: with quite a few other apps I had to uninstall and reinstall from the Play store before they would work.
With Google Talk, it wasn't logging my accounts in, and I found the solution somewhere else on the xda forums. Deleted the Google accounts, then went to Google Services Framework in all apps and hit "Clear data". Then recreated the accounts, and everything was hunky dory. It could work without deleting the accounts but I think not.
Perhaps I could've stopped all these problems if I'd properly cleared all the caches before flashing the rom - I did a wipe data/factory reset but I now realise there are other caches to clear in CWM!
Edit: Ah, just discovered a problem. The SMS threading issue is there with ChompSMS as well. I don't use the stock messages program, so I hadn't tested. This is definitely an issue for me. Damn.

OK, update: I am considering swapping to Ripper Rom just to see how it is, but now that I'm using Pandoriam I'm on a 4.1.2 build, so does that mean I need to flash the XXELKC versions because otherwise I'd be downgrading?
Maybe I should just be patient regarding the message threading issue instead, and wait for a Pandoriam update

If your apps do that then use fix permissions in clockwork recovery
It would completely rely on the changelog of the ROM, if you were to just flash over though, there were just small changes and you chose the same themes then it wouldn't leave so much crap on your phone but it's still recommended to do a wipe to avoid random issues that would require a wipe down the road
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium

Thanks heaps for your replies, Magik_Breezy.
I've now discovered that I must have chosen (without any real reason) the AOSP messenger option in Aroma when installing Pandoriam.
So I'm going to re-flash with stock messenger. I'll try this without wiping (if that's not an idiotic idea) and see what happens! :good:

I didn't even wipe from stock initially but some apps can duplicate etc
Make sure to give back to the xda community in anyway you can

Trying I do hope other n00berly-n00bs find this conversation if they're looking for similar advice!
I just installed the same Pandoriam on top of the current installation, chose stock messaging and a few other minor alterations. No problems have occurred!
Going back to stock messages means that new messages are threading nicely. :good: However, the old ones which came in have remained on their lonesome. Minor point.

You should ONLY wipe if problems occur after flashing, otherwise you are just wasting your time.
Even if you encounter a "soft brick" or a bootloop, the recovery would still be accessible and you could factory reset to fix it anyways.. This stuff nowadays is relatively safe.

Thanks Skander1998, that's great to hear! I was taking all those warnings seriously, and I guess it's worth stating to cover those eventualities.
Anyway, having just re-flashed with no problems, I'll continue like that, and take your advice that if I get bootloops or problems I can always boot back into recovery.
Very happy with the latest state of my Pandoriam rom'd SGS3.

A heap of crap will accumulate on your device and apps will double
It's also always best to follow what the dev says as he is the one who truly knows everything that goes on behind the scenes
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium

Fair enough! I would imagine for small updates of the same rom it's fine not to wipe, but changing roms it'd be crazy.
I'll keep an eye out for apps doubling.

[Q] Having issues. Make me not hate my phone please!

Boyfriend (more technically apt than I, however, currently unavailable) helped me root and install a new rom on this POS and am still having issues (running [ROM][JB][4.1.2]Slimbean 3.1.0 Unofficial Galaxy Exhibit 4G by camcory)
Issues I have are as follows:
- Constantly having to use a task manager to kill apps that constantly start and restart so nearly all my memory is being used and phone is laggy as all get out. (Consequently, anytime I try to open an app, it takes AGES before it starts..including my contacts or msging...any app in general)
- Randomly (and sadly, not consistently) when I plug in headphones, music player starts on its own. Have to kill multiple times as every time I kill it it starts again until I reboot phone out of frustration. Only solution at moment was to delete all mp3s I had on my phone and remove music player (which sucks, cause I would like to be able to listen to my music on my phone...).
- When I use Pandora, Google voice search starts on it's own. I have to kill it multiple times as it keeps restarting, before I have to reboot phone out of frustration and that tends to take care of the problem..again, temporary (and annoying) solution.
- Curious, when I bought phone, it was partitioned (or so it appeared) so there was USB storage, SD storage, and then external SD. Even after installing new ROM, a lot of files that were on the phones internal SD storage remained, wondering if there's a way to wipe that so there's not duplicate files laying around, or files that are no longer necessary as they were part of the original phone's system, or if these are files that should remain on the phone for some purpose.
Also, in general, not terribly pleased with the look of this ROM. I really enjoyed the look and some of the default apps that came on the phone (the msging and contacts especially) when I bought it. Any recommendations as to possible ROMs that would be similar to the stock, yet not as craptastic, would be much appreciated.
Any and all help is much appreciated!

ITry Linero either version with formula84 gapps and either PoweredbyEvil v1 or DemonsBlood v8 over clocked max 1612 smoothass gov SIO io and set oom and minfree to strict in ROM toolbox. Use pimp my ROM for additional tweaks such as entropy sdcard tweaks all and carefully read memory tweaks
This benches and runs smooth with zero lag for me.
No problems with music or headsets. I deleted Apollo with ROM toolbox and installed fusion.
Memory is 168 free on average without using task manager due to tweaks in pimp my ROM and ROM toolbox.
I don't use Pandora but have yet to have Google now open when opening other apps
If inserted sdcard then you have the proper storage. The partition is for boot and internal then sdcard is external
Note that I use swapsd included in linero so my internal is really now external as most all goes by default to internal when installed so with a 32gig card I don't worry
When flashing ROM wipe cache + dalvik cache + system + factory reset + internal storage and I also wipe android secure. Be sure files you want saved is on sdcard along with ROM + gapps to be flashed.

Finally having a moment to look over everything and give it a shot today. Fingers crossed I don't brick it
Do you have any recommendations for launchers/themes? I was really keen with the look of the stock theme that came on the phone. The hololauncher that came with slimbean and the default theme I was not terribly keen with.
Thanks again for your help. I will let you know how it all pans out!

I personally use jellybean extreme cm10 and love it. Have tried many but always go back. I use the blue one as it is near black and updates is often and very well supported. It is a paid theme but worth it imo

So I've done all as you said except for the pimp my rom just yet (battery started dying and I couldn't bother to be tethered to the charger while I worked ). As it is, it seems a bit faster, and I've yet to run into the bugs that I had previously (but that's always how it is in the honeymoon stage). Am trying to stay optimistic.
I am dying for the old messaging, contact list, and alarm clock that stock had, but cest la vie I spose. I'll have to nose around in the future and see what's out there.
Thanks for all your help

So I installed and all seemed to be going well and then I started getting crashes and lockups. So I reverted back to Slimbean that I was running previously. Now most of the apps I had before (even on Slimbean) will not work; "aren't compatible."
I can't for the life of me remember how we bipassed this last time I dropped that ROM on here. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Do a factory reset 2 times , wipe ROM 2x and wipe internal SD 2x then flash the ROM again. I recommend causing team win recovery made for our galaxy exhibit. Since of what I read you want jelly bean but a stock feeling I recommend you using remics jbjob rom

You need to change your dpi to 240 and reboot. Then clear cache on Play Store and reboot again. It might take a few app cache wipe/ reboots before your apps come back.

[Q] Nothing will get my IMEI working on CM! Different /efs folder files!

Ok guys, so here's what's happening... I have tried every method I could find online in order to get my IMEI to be recognized in the CM11. At first I tried it with the CM10.2 to no avail, and now I am failing with the latest one.
When I rollback to 2.2 or 2.3.3 my IMEI starts working again. HOWEVER, even with these stock versions, my efs folder contains a DIFFERENT set of files inside. In particular I have one file LESS (I think). It is the nv_data.bin. I do not know why I don't have that file, nor why my IMEI works without it!
But the point is that I, then, cannot use that "stock" efs folder to replace the new one created when I flash the CM11! Do you see my problem?! What should I do?! I really don't want to keep the 2.3.3 having experimented the CM11! I am sending a printscreen of my "backed-up" efs stock folder with hidden files enabled to see if anyone has an idea.
Please help me out! I am desperate here!
PS: MY model is the i9000b (from brazil) which is why I do not have a stock 2.3.6 (I think).

Go back to GB and then upgrade to KK in steps.
GB/ICS/JB/KK
I know some people haven't had any problems with jumping straight to KK from GB, but the only ever time that I personally lost my IMEI was when I was on GB and installed JB, missing out ICS...

Thanks for the suggestion. I might try that in the future, I'm kind of sick of rolling back and flashing over and over again for now. The good news is that my problem is (partially) fixed. I went back to KK (CM11) and still don't have IMEI but I can call and get calls again. It turns out my stupid carrier had blocked my SIM for some reason, so at least now it's useable again!

But my battery is being eaten like it's candy, though...

After installing which ROM?
Download betterbatterystats, it will tell you what the problem is. What does even settings>battery tell you is using battery?
To help someone information is required, not to be told 'it's not working!"

I've got a nightly CM11 for I9000B running. The battery tells me it's the screen (34%), the Android System (20%) and then surprisingly a game I play not as often as the 10% would represent. I already have my brightness lowered to half and still my battery seems to be getting worse and worse.
Going to try batterybetterystats and get back to you now!

Ok so batterybatterystats is paid :/ Any other free suggestions?

How long is your full time from a charge, and how much screen on time?
