Already basic you explained that battery and a bit swollen on top, but that does not prevent its use Priory. <br /> To be clear when it receives a call or send a text message or receives such a turn off the !! ! I work on another forum and I always went out to him "there is a worry with your rom is not possible" (4.1.2 to know ^^) <br /> Good but what plugs into the sector more of care ... <br /> She handed factory several times. <br /> I tried to go into the recorvery without success (it is high volume + power + home for the model? On my note II or another galaxy right) <br /> So suddenly I do not really know what to do with her phone the /> <br. I said that my look like a problem Battery not? <br /> <br /> Thank you in advance for your response <br/>

[Q] English os language change to Spanish Galaxy note

Hi Guys
I want to buy a galaxy note but before I do, I would like, if someone here could kindly tell me, if i buy the phone in Spain (I live here) will I be able to change the OS etc to the English Language (as I would prefer to use it in my native tongue)
thanks in advance
Ian
Since I can change my note's system language to Espanol here in Canada so I do believe that you can do the samething in Spain as well.

Yes you can. I got mine from Amazon.es, living in Madrid, and it came from Germany (so it was in German). As soon as you turn it on it asks you what language you want to put the phone in (default being German, but you just change language --> Spanish --> Done!). It's that easy.
Thanks guys
I like easy!
Ok just off to look at prices on the internet and order, it will make a well overdue upgrade to my HTC touch HD.
and will, thank goodness, stop my thoughts on buying a small tablet since I replaced my 15 inch laptop with the new 18.4 inch one.
But still need my HD with me until TomTom release their App for Android.
thanks

camera improvement announced in custom rom , comparaison

hi,
i ve seen some ppl in the desc of their rom writing "camera improvement", but nothing much is said..and shows
is it possible to have picture comparaison, stock rom / custom rom? any feed back from users?
thx to mention what rom u used.
thxxx
so i guess the camera improvement announced is just some blabla, nobody seems to be able to show the difference with pure stock..
I've not seen any roms with camera improvements. Is doubt it anyway in the course of two weeks...
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Providing a link to the ROM would help
And maybe quote the post that states camera improvement.
You could ask the developer in the thread too?
Or maybe just do the comparison yourself? Don't have the device? Oh well you can wait like the rest of us.

Rom wise I see no difference they wouldn't start messing with it yet?

for example revolution hd:
"Improved camera performance"
sometimes the jpeg encoding is mod to 100% that can be an improvement.
i ve asked already on this rom topic but the guy don t reply...

Pointless thread without telling us which rom. At least we can ask users to compare. zzzz
i just told you revolution HD
Yes, im afraid its all cut and pasted from his other rom threads if your talking about Revolution.
I dont think theres anything proprietary going on there, at least not yet in the case of camera tweaks (I was wondering too as it happens).
Would be better if it was explained what half these tweaks are sometimes, but I think in general, its a few nice things put there to differenciate between that and all the other `stock` roms, plus the usual cliches, i.e. zipalign, sqlite, kernel tweaks, blah blah woof woof.
Do update this if you get an answer..
If it's talking about jpeg compression then maybe it's possible. He could have just modified the media_profiles.xml on /system/etc/ and changed the compression number there.
Like this one
<ImageEncoding quality="100" />
<ImageEncoding quality="90" /> // This is the medium quality, u can set it to 100% to override if you wish
<ImageEncoding quality="80" /> // This is the low quality, u can set it to 100% to override if you wish
<ImageDecoding memCap="30000000" />

he must have changed all those highlighted in blue to 100
*note that the code I quoted didn't came from HTC One*
He's said in his thread it was just copy paste, no camera work was done.
well riyal, on my onex , i did that once, and camera wasn t working afterwards, dunno what went wrong

nope.
Okay, I'm here now.
Recapping:
You was on Facebook through stock Browser when you had a freeze, you had freezes in the past too, but this time after 3-5 minutes was still frozen.
You pulled off battery and reinserted, tried to power on device and no life signs.
You checked if battery works with tongue on contacts, USB port and power button are OK.
You can't go to the Samsung Service Centre due to custom ROM and you'll have to pay for repair. If motherboard is dead, they can't see what ROM is inside eMMC.
Maybe the battery cell is damaged and voltage is under minimum needed, try another i9070/p or compatible device's battery, otherwise you can watch this video guide till minute 2:55 to remove middle frame, then use any mobile phone's battery (suggested Samsungs for same contacts layout) following contacts + and - (usually are wrote on battery sticker or directly on black plastic)

Motherboard should be analyzed to find what caused that... Doesn't power on at all, try to send to Samsung service centre, under warranty!! You still have warranty? Custom ROM or binary counter don't matter since motherboard is apparently dead and they can't see

Glad to hear that.So,i hope they cant see that i have custom rom as you said.I bring it to service ASAP and i let you know what happen.Thanks for your answers
EDIT: on warranty card say :
"The warranty is not applicable in cases other than defects in material design and workmanship. The warranty does not cover the following:
-periodic checks,maintenance,repair and replacement of parts due to normal wear and tear;
-abuse or misuse,including but not solely limited to the failure to use this product its normal purposes or in accordance with Samsung`s instructions for usage and maintenance
-upgrading of software due to changes in network parameters"
etc.
I think i will pay for repair...
Don't worry!! Yours is broken but you'll tell them that you aren't interested to repair touch screen just talk about no power on (it's covered by warranty)
If they ask you if device was modified, answer what it is? let's do the noob boy

Yes, contains everything they'll keep your screen, cover, buttons, Camera, vibrator, speakers... Everything except motherboard
About what happened I can't say a lot, I haven't the motherboard in my hands.
Had to die :'D
The Lord wanted it back

Now you could hope that they will screw up screen totally while replacing the motherboard, so they could think that it's their fault and replace it :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Planning on buying second hand m7. What should I check?

So the title is pretty much clear about my question.
Are there any usual problems with One m7?
How much battery drain is it acceptable if I get to test it, lets say 30 minutes (Probably around menus and stuff)?
What is the model name for the International version? Are other versions, let's say the dual-sim, named differently than m7? I can't really seem to find this information.
Thank you! :fingers-crossed:

make sure the IMEI number isn't black listed, shouldn't be an issue if you are buying from a friend but if you are buying from someone you doesn't know, better to check if the IMEI is still valid.
IMEI is the unique number tied to your device. If the first owner did not paid his bill or the phone is declared lost or stolen, the IMEI will be blacklisted and the phone won't connect to any cellular network. Ask the vendor the IMEI number before buying the phone and check if its valid (there are tools online to do that) or if you can, put in a sim card and check if the phone can connect to the network without issue.
