How many of you actually spotted someone else carrying a galaxy mini ? - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Got the idea of this thread from nexus 4 forums, i thought we should also share our experiences about this.
Well, I actually saw only 2 times, someone else also using sgm, one is my friend and another in a cyber café a guy was using there, he was using stock gb lol
Share your experience guys !!

It's a very common phone in Hungary. I saw about 50 guys with it. All running stock GB or Froyo (people still use froyo here WTF), except for one guy who had official CM7.

know a few and all are on stock gb...it makes me sad ..
i feel really bad for them...

i have seen dozens of people with galaxy mini running go launcher :laugh::laugh:
but more prominent one is galaxy ace :cyclops:

So people still don't know about what our mini has got

i saw many people using mini maybe like 20-30 people.. i also rooted and installed custom roms for them coz i just couldn't see them running froyo :angel:

Uh... 10-20 times in phone shop. All of them running Froyo, and one Hipster girl is running CM10.1 (i guess, but i see she is pulling down the statusbar and it's really look like CM10.1).

there are only 3 people have mini on my campus, me and 2 others. 1 using froyo, 1 cmx and now I revert back to emanon..

Oh, i remember, some months ago my charger was damaged somehow so when i ran out of battery and tried connecting charger, mini gave no response, i thought my battery is gone, so i went to care center and asked for new battery, but when they tryied with their charger it started charging.
Then the guy there started to show me that device is all right, by switching it on
Then what he saw was completely shocking for him, first he saw that splash screen, device name written galaxy mini written instead of galaxy pop (in india)
He asked me if i imported the device lol
Then when he saw the bootanim he was again shocked, i was using nexus bootanim that time, he asked me what's this? A nexus? Lolz
I said i just changed the bootanimation, he looked confused
Then what he saw was completely out of his mind, it was cm10.1
He didnt evn recognised android 4.2 and tryied to unlock it like other devices touch and slide anywhere on screen. He saw completely different ui, blue battery icon asked me which os is this, i showed him android 4.2.2 in about phone
Then what i did was, ran out of there to my home back before he asked me anything more, but at last i told him, dont worry u wont understand

Don't go tp cc for flashing stock they don't know what flashing is
All they will do is, connect ur phone via kies, since custom rom don't get detected by kies it won't work
They will then tell u some useless things (they have to tel u something at last) like u need to get new motherboard cuz usb port not Woking and blah blah, they dont know wat odin is

Soft keys randomly pressed during charging.

My Zio has a mind of its own! Force closes! Goes back! Google search! Menu options! And all while it lays flat on my desk, or my nightstand, countertop, anywhere. But only between 55%-85% battery. PLEASE HELP!
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
Now it just boots up, shuts off, boots up, shuts off. Its basically a landline smartphone cause I can only use it if the charger is plugged in, like right now. All the pages and pages on rooting but very few out there to fix lil problems while rooted. Feel like rolling my window down on the freeway and toss this zio out, THEN ILL HAVE TO BUY SOMETHING ELSE! That'll sure fix the problems above. Unless anybody's got a lil advice that would help me out?
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
Have you dropped the phone? The reason I asked is that my buddy brought over a HTC Droid incredible and it has similar problems after it was dropped...I rooted it and flashed a few different roms and some of the problems diminished but didn't go away...what rom are you using?
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
Dropped, yes, 2hrs after I first bought it over a year ago. But this has recently started happening, like yesterday and today. I am rooted but not rom-ed (hu, I said rom-ed). I'm too scared to change rom's cause I'm still researching how to do it.
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
Hmm.. well I would try flashing the open zip rom and see what that does for ya...its not hard to do that, maybe that will help. Other than that i dunno. I've done some tweeking on the open zip rom for my girlfriend and daughter, haven't done any theming for it besides some uot kitchen work, but have been able to apply alot of various build. prop tweeks and some other tweeks that seemed to help with battery life.

There mostly from developer KNZO, he's got a list of build.prop and init.d tweaks.. he's done alot of developing for the optimus p500, I think he's developing for the optimus black now...anyways, most of his tweaks are now standard for custom roms for the p500&p509.. so i tryed to incorporate them into the Sanyo zio.

Buying a barely used Note.

Hello everyone,
One of my friends is looking to sell his barely used Note which he bought last month for a very good price. I may get for as low as $270. I checked the phone and I loved the screen but not the plastic-y feeling.
My question is: do you guys think it's still worth buying a Note(am not willing to pay for a note 2)? My other question is that I am a Gnex user running jelly bean and I wanted to know if there are any good jb roms available for the note ?
I also heard that Samsung said it would update the note to the official 4.1.1!

For that price, get it

you can outrightly flash stock 4.0.4 to the Gnote. You can either go flashing it via PC KIES or PC Odin. If you want custom Rom's then there's plenty around this forum as well... Just do a search on the 'Android Development' thread and check out some custom Roms that might suit to your liking.
Off topic but why do people consider the Note cheap plastic feeling? I've always had HTC before this and this phone doesn't feel cheap at all to me
probably because of the compactness. When you take battery cover off you might think cheap. I don't, It's practical so thin. So far it works great, wasn't expecting that lol

Thinking of buying a galaxy note but have a few questions

I'm getting a really good deal on a note. I wanted to know wether the features from note2 have been ported to the orignal note, specially multiscreen. Does the note have enough processing power to run it smoothly?
My friend is on stock ICS and his phone is quite laggy even without too many apps. I did hear the ICS upgrade sucked but I didn't expect this. I wanted to know wether the installing custom ROMs would make the s pen useless?
M considering either note or galaxy nexus... plz help me make this choice!
Thanks

1) Multiscreen is not yet ported from Note 2 to the original Note..
2) I have 100+ apps installed on my Note & I wouldn't say its laggy..
3) ICS upgrade wasn't a flop..it came with lot of features, improved performance, battery life etc etc etc..anyways, within a month or 2, our Notes wl taste official JB..there are already couple of ROMs which were cooked from leaked samsung official kernel & seems to work as expected..
4) Installing custom roms need not to make the S-pen useless..but there r very few custom roms which does not support s pen..
Check out this thread it got some promising stuff about new note 1 JB rom 98% of things work properly

If you are thinking on buying the note , go for the second one .
We had no option back when we bought note , but now you can just go for note 2
248 Google play installed apps and a few more from XDA.
Still smooth on stock ICS ROM with hydracore kernel.
But like the other posters, better to just get the new note since you have yet to invest.

Galaxy note prooved to be a success. Initially it was expected to fail hut if u see it as a device released in 2011. It was designed futuristic. It got 3 updates on gingerbread , 2 updates for ics and now will get jelly beans soon and some are saying it will receive key lime pie. Even if the key lime pie update is not official the note gave a good outcome to those of us who owned it from the initial days. I am still ao much in love with my device and i love the s pen. It took out the artist from within me.

Galaxy note is more like a mini tab, note 2 more like a maxi phone as they have different aspect ratio. 16/10 vs 16/9. For multiscreen ot will be ported on Note1 also, I guess, by xda developers. Don't know if it will arrive officially by Sammy

[Q] I think my phone died...

Hello! Frist of all, I want to say that I'm new and I just learned this page from Google when I searched for a situation like mine.
I have Samsung Galaxy S Advance.
Back in January, when the new Russian firmware came out, I updated my phone via odin, successfully.
Yesterday, I updated again with the newer Italian firmware successfully. I reset it in order to work better and then I reinstalled the apps that I wanted. (I reset it becasue I have many apps that I didn't want)
Anyway, the phone worked fine for almost 24 hours. When my phone turned off 'cause of the battery, I charged it and then I turned it on fine.
The next morning I unplagged it from the charger and it was fine.
After half an hour that I wanted to call someone, it didn't work. I was pressing thw power button all over again and nothing.
I tried to put it on download mode etc. and nothing with none of them.
I seems to me dead.
I read stuff you said to other people about up volume, down etc. I tried everything, but nothing.
Is there anything else that I can do?
Please help me.

The phone does absolutely nothing. I tried to charge it for about an hour, nothing appeared. I tried to connect it with PC, nothing happened.
The warranty says that it covers me only in Europe... So, now that I have installed an Asia firmware, I don't think that it covers me.
For some reason, although I bought from a Greek Store (I'm Greek) but the firmware it is Europe one and not the Greek One. The same thing says at the box too.
Oh, I don't know...
Bad lack maybe. They stole my iPhone 4S, my SE X10 broke and now that. And all that from January to April...
