OK heres an interesting issue. I have been working on my new rom. Somehow my connection icons got screwed up. I have flashed two older versions of my rom that worked fine and no change. I flashed stock no change. I flashed multiple other chefs roms and no change. Does anyone out there have any brilliant ideas. I thought maybe a bad block but I found no info on using mtty with the raphael.
BTW I am fairly sure this icon originates from largetitlebar.dll
aruppenthal,
Try copying your phcanoverbmp.dll to a different filename, then change the reference of
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseDll"="<name of your dll>"
That happened to me when I forgot to cook phcanoverbmp and the icons went ballistic
I am trying that now. I am really baffled as to why that would carry over with flashes
EDIT: That seemed to have fixed it. I still cant understand why a flash would not have reset it.

I thought I had screwed something up on my phone with a theme install. I odin'd to stock and still cant download from the market. Then I try my wifes stock vibrant and it wont download anything from the market either. There must be an issue with the android market right now.

Is anyone else having this market issue?
Yeah its a google problem not your phone, same thing happened to me and i thought it was my phone, but i just left it alone for awhile and tried to download an app. It was fine then , but now 2nd time happening again :/
EDIT: I am :/
EDIT2: working for me now.
You have no idea how happy I am that I just found this thread... I thought I had messed up my phone while theming it. What a relief...
Anyway, looks to be the market that is causing it since so many have the problem.

Its sad but I am so glad other people are having this issue. I hate odining to stock for no good reason. Thanks for letting us know.
It's working for me again!
I never had a drop, but @andronica tweeted it's hearing a lot of complaints about it being down. Also alluded to honeycomb, I think because of the announcement tomorrow.
Seems like they must have fixed, it's up and working faster than ever now, hope it stays fixed!
Hi All,
I have been working on my first ROM for a while, based on 2.3.5 and other goodies, and i have come to readying it for install. Is there anyone out there who would know how to go about this, and/or direct me to a guide? All help is appreciated!
Id be lying if i told you I did, but this link was given to me to study and has some interesting videos:

I really dont have any idea either, but I think that Fruit Cake thing might help?? Have you looked into that?

ya, but it just wont work. Ive gone through and it only tries to pull my system, i have the entire thing packaged, but, it is just not working right. Either way, after a few failed adb attempts i am working out a return to stock with the brick.
Hi folks.
This is my first post here. I've been through the "noob's guide" and stuff but to be honest it's all WAY above my head. I'm just not a techy type. Anyway, thing is, I have a Note 717 and Samsung just "updated" it to the new 4.0.4 OS. I loved it before, it was great, but now I've got all kinds of problems and I really want to go back to the old OS if possible. It was working brilliantly before and I wish to heck I'd known what it was going to do when the upgrade notice came up because I'd have hit 'cancel' faster than you can say it. Now it's slow, it crashes, it's lost a bunch of my stuff, yadda yadda.
I understand that I might have to "root" it to reinstall the old OS, but I haven't got a clue where to begin and, to be honest, I'm scared to death of killing an expensive phone.
So anyway I just wondered if there's anyone willing to wet-nurse a complete, green-as-grass newcomer and help me through this process? Be warned first though; I'm really not that great with computers and may ask a lot of very stupid questions. I beg your forbearance.
So anyway if someone could please help me I would be very grateful indeed.
Thanks in advance.
Sandy.
Sandy,
When you did you up rage it probably wipe all you data right?
My first step for you would be to do a factory reset and see if the issue you are experiencing get resoleved.
Do you know how to get to your settings?
If so, look around in there and do a factory reset.
Hi Alperin.
Thanks for getting back to me.

Oddly, my data appears okay. But now the phone's painfully slow and crashes frequently. The new email client is dogs**t, I get a "process has stopped" message every time I power it up, the interface has become user-unfriendly and some of my widgets and apps are missing. It's just RUINED this phone that I was so enjoying having.

I can find that, yes, but I don't want to go erasing all my data, it took me forever to get it all in there. Is there another way of backing it up than sending it to Google?
Thanks!
Sandy.
One of the apps on your Note is called Kies or Kies air. Use this to backup your data.
Then do your factory reset.
Sorry I do not have Kies but if needed I will try to assist.
Hi Alperin.
Thank you again for the ongoing assistance, I really appreciate it!!

Hooray! Kies actually performed the backup flawlessly (that's a new feature in my experience). The only way I can get Kies to work is with an older version, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

Okay, I went to do the factory reset, found it under "backup and reset" and it said "Delete Samsung account first". But I looked in the accounts section and I don't appear to have one with Samsung. What do I have to do please?
THANK YOU again!!!!

Doing this for my father in law as we speak. Upgraded to ICS, was too slow. Rooted, Flashed custom ROM, got cold feet. Wants to go back to stock Gingerbread.

I can certainly relate to being hesitant to root your phone and start installing g custom ROMs, I had mine almost 3 months before I did which is a long time on a stock Samsung ROM for me. Try watching some of the tutorial videos on YouTube, they helped me a lot when I started with my Captivate. I particularly like the ones from Mobile Tech Videos but I'm not sure if there are any from them for the Note. Hope you're able to get it sorted out.

Not sure what to tell you. I do not have that on my build.
Is it just a question?
There is another way to do the factory reset. I will try to find it.
---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 AM ----------
Ok here is another method.
1) power off the phone.
2) hold down the up and down volume buttons at the same time. And while holding them down press the power button
3) the phone will start and you will feel it vibrate. Release the power button, only the poer button
4). You should be in recovery mode.
5) select to do the wipe data/ factory reset
6) let your phone do it's thing
Set up the phone and see if it runs better.
This is a pain in the ass to type on an iPad.

Thanks for passing that over. I'm going to give it a try. Do you know if this will restore it to the Android 2.3.6 or did the update fundamentally alter the phone so that it's always going to be 4.0.4? Holy cow I really hope it comes up 2.3.6!!!
I'll let you know what happens post-reset. Thanks again for all your help.
Cheers,
Sandy.
This will keep ICS but put it back to the all default setting and remove all apps that are not part of the upgrade package you installed.
Let's see how this works for you before going back to GB.

Okay I did that and it worked. Thanks for the instructions. However, as I feared it came back with the dreaded 4.0.4. But, this being said, my data and stuff is all backed up, so I feel a bit more ready to proceed.
Now... how do I get the wonderful 2.3.6 back on it please?
Thanks again!!!

Right I think I've got the hang of the names... ICS is version 4.0.4 and GB is 2.3.6 right? Forgive me if this seems elementary to you - but its all new to me!
I don't want to sound like a Luddite but there's so much I dislike about ICS that I really want to go back to GB. The functionality was way better, the phone was faster, it didn't crash, it performed like I expected it to, the interface made sense... and so on. So I'm eager to get started on transitioning back to the former OS. I don't know how busy everyone here is, but I'm going to take the USB cable to work and maybe I can get into it there. I pretty much just answer the phone these days, so I won't get into trouble, don't worry!
THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!
Sandy.
A factory ROM and fast be it GB or ICS don't belong in the same sentace.. if you tried a nice vanilla ROM such as CM9 you might be surprised what a fast phone really is.
Sandy, stock roms tend to be full of bloat software that will reduce the performance of any phone. Gb as you say worked better because is a more mature os than ics. So if you decide to root your phone make sure to try a custom ics rom which may be fast and stable and your phone will stay on game with the newer stuff instead of using an older os.

Thanks guys, I very much appreciate your responses, input and suggestions. I'm sure that it's all good stuff, but I really just want 2.3.6 back. Whilst all this custom stuff sounds interesting (and is, I'm sure, great fun for you clever whizzes that understand it) my plea is a relatively simple one; I just want my phone back the way it was!
But, again, I really do appreciate your input, thanks!

I am at work so I will be responding slowly. There is a guide for this, I will try to find it for you.
BTW is it still crashing on you?

It hasn't crashed since the reset and restore that I did 1½ hours ago, but it hasn't done anything else either (well, except turn on the GPS without asking me haha). No email, no calls, no texts - and that's very unusual because I normally get a lot of those throughout the day. I hope it's not indicative of a problem, but I understand that it's a work-in-progress.
Slight update: The Wi-Fi is working, that's a good thing.
Thanks again!
Sandy.

I'm afraid the only way to revert back to GB is more technical than a simple factory reset and involves using Odin to flash back.

My DNA has just started popping up the message "com.android.phone has stopped" and crashing the dialer every time I try to make a call. It worked fine for the first couple weeks I had it, and still works fine apart from making calls. 4G works and I get data. I've tried re-inserting the SIM, doing a factory reset, flashing RUU, and I just got back from the Verizon store where the swapped out the SIM. Nothing has fixed it.
Before I call the VZ warranty department I thought I'd post here and see if anyone had an idea. I'm a little worried they'll see my "Relocked/Tampered" bootloader and tell me I'm SOL. :/

Just to be clear, my "new" phone is actually "recertified like-new". And I have to send the old one back or pay full price for it. And if they find evidence of damage or tampering on the old phone I'll get charged $300. But yeah, aside from that it was pretty easy.
Guys, i am having the same problem! On every call i get com.android.phone has stopped ! Does anyone had the same and found a solution?!
I tried 3 custom roms(viper hatka and another one) no work, reflashed back to stock, problem remains!
I am also living overseas! Is this a problem?
Just out of curiosity, do you still have the little flap covering your microUSB port? I got annoyed with mine and yanked it out...now I'm wondering if it damaged the antenna.
I have removed it too, no way this thing can affect the operation!
It has to do with someone on you facebook or contacts has a birthday on Feb 29 find out which one it is delete the contact sync for that person or change the birthday
Thanks for the reply, have you experienced the same problem in htc DNA?
The solution you are giving is kinda strange, as i haven't passed any contacts or fb account to my mobile and the problem persists. Of course, i had done this one in the past, lets check what you just said, thanks!

I had stock rom, unlocked, rooted, flashed viper and had the problem. Flashed different roms, the same. Returned to stock RUU, the same. Reflashed, the same. Unlocked, rooted again, and flashed viper again, and voila, the problem solved!:laugh:

If RUUing doesnt help it then it might be a hardware related issue and its getting that error because the software can not communicate with the hardware... possibly? maybe? just an idea
