It´s nice to add more and more new features to phones, but one think is the most important for them. I think that manufacturers should focus on the battery life.

And I am still amazed, that none of todays phones have a thermometer... :)

Phones, with all of their current sensors and radios, and upcoming sensors and radios, are easily poised to take the role of a "Tricorder" from Star Trek

FYI Cell Phones and Tablets can already be used as TV remotes for many TVs. My network connected Samsung LED TV (not even SmartTV) from 2 years ago does this.
[Android General] Roanna:
I called AT&T and tried to get technical support for my phone (Samsung Captivate) regarding the Carrier IQ. The tech support person I was talking to had never heard of it and insisted that I contact Samsung instead. When I insisted that she transfer me to someone in tech support who Had heard of it, she transferred me to Samsung herself...

I was the "second person" who had called about Carrier IQ, at least in regards to the guy I was talking to. He said he was researching it himself, but after going and talking to his supervisor, that the official line was that it was part of Android. In other words, Google put it there. Needless to say, I decided to talk to his supervisor...

After talking to the supervisor and, hopefully, convincing them that it would be really bad to accuse Google of doing this, when it's obvious that this is being installed on a carrier by carrier basis, and that it can be installed on non-google phones (like iOS), he basically said they don't even have a list of the software, in his technical services dept, that goes on the phones installed at the root level. He was initially convinced that if it were running that it would be in the list of running applications. I tried to explain that no, it would not be, that's why you can only get to it as root!

In other words, the tech support dept's at both AT&T and Samsung seem to know squat.

I'll be calling Samsung back in a week or so once they've had their oh sh*t moment and realized, that yeah, this is a big news story that's not going to go away and that maybe they should know what they're talking about and do something about it.

Apps.such as contract killer/blood and glory by GLU for example keeps auto starting from full reboot. Using app killers to kill it works for a few seconds then comebacks. The only successful way to stop it is to uninstall or manually force close it through the appication menu on stock android. Large game such as these,I prefer not to be running from fresh reboot or having in ram. I know how android works by not wasting ram.

My question is there a way or app to prevent it from revivng after killing it or after a fresh reboot?

On my lg.2gx Contract killers had two copys consistantly in the back ground just from installing and playing it once. Ive unistalled it until I find something to stop it from reviving after shutting it down. I would hate to suspect spyware.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danteusel:
I've had the galaxy note now for about 2 weeks on AT&T...Everything working really well...then:

I got a strange text today that said my phone does not match my data plan and service would be interrupted if I didnt call them.

I called AT&T and the rep said my IMEI matches a galaxy tab (ie. NOT a phone) and I cant keep my data plan. He said the only thing he could give me was a DATA ONLY PLAN and that I wouldnt be able to make calls!

What can I do? Did I just get a stupid rep?

Please help!

I love the Note, BTW and do NOT want to loose it!

EDIT: I did install the Samsung 2.3.6 OTA update about 4 days ago...in case that makes a difference

UPDATE:

I spoke to a different rep who went through all the same crap again. But after much wait time said that he opened a case number for support to address it and that it should be taken care of in 3 business days.

I do have my old unlimited data plan, so I wonder if that is causing the problem.

Just curious though are others having this issue on AT&T?

The galaxy note is a cross between a phone and a tab. That's probably why they want to kick you out of your plan and put you in a new one. The irony is that it's going to probably be making an appearance eventually. Try talking to a nother rep.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
Let's guess - you are trying to use the dumbphone plan and got busted.

Usually this happens by:

1) Not using the dumbphone APN and using the smartphone/4g APN. (the dumbphone APN is the cingular 410 one in my FAQ)

2) Accidentally warning AT&T by telling the rep you have a smartphone, or asking for a 4g/smartphone sim card.

When either of the above happens, they generally block medianet to your phone and require you to get a smartphone.

You may be able to play dumb and say, 'oh, I didn't know I couldn't use that phone' then use a dumbphone till they reactivate your data. Then switch back.

But you'll need to figure out what you did wrong or you'll just get locked out in 2 weeks (or sooner) again.

Actually, I am guessing you are totally screwed - they apparently have the IMEI your note registered as a smartphone/tablet.

Even if they reactivate your data with another phone, as soon as you use your Note again, it's going to send its IMEI (which they now know about) and you'll get blocked again.

You're going to have to bite the bullet and get a regular smartphone data plan.

I have always thought it would be a matter of time before either:

1) AT&T starts looking up IMEI numbers differently so they recognize international smartphones. (it's shouldn't be that hard, to be honest)

2) They monitor data usage - dumbphones shouldn't be pulling massive amounts of data, although my friend with a featurephone says she can watch movies.

I just received a text and email from AT&T today saying they disabled my data because they detected that I put my sim card into a data connect device. When I called to question them about it, they said their system detected my phone as the Samsung GT-P7501. I googled this model # and it's the new Germany version of the Samsung Tab 10.1. I really don't understand how or why their system detected this model. I don't think it's even possible to buy this tablet at the moment! Did any one else encounter a similar problem?

I was on the $10 unlimited data plan and used the wap.cingular APN setting.

This could be a huge problem.

They could be lumping the Galaxy Note with the Galaxy Tab 7.

I recall AT&T isn't allowing the Galaxy Tab 7 to receive phone calls, as they consider it a tablet even though it has a cellular antenna. They only offer a data plan for it.

If they try to pull the same stunt on the Galaxy note, this could be trouble.

This will have to be escalated somehow. Keep us informed.

That's your problem. I bet if you had a legit 4G smartphone plan, you would of never gotten a call from AT&T.

I have a Galaxy Note on an unlimited 4G plan using the 4G APN & I have yet to get a call from AT&T. I'm sorry but if the OP was using a MediaNet plan & used the wrong APN, its his fault & not AT&T.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starbuck123:
I have the same problem and I NEVER used the 4G APN setting. I know better, I always use the wap.cingular APN setting. The strange thing is, they didn't detect it as a smartphone, they detected as a tablet from another country that was just released a couple of weeks ago?

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

Why would I be on a legit 4G plan when they shouldn't be able to detect it as a smartphone? This is part of the beauty of buying an international phone, AT&T can't detect (usually) what you're using so you can use the cheapest plan possible. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who does this. I been doing this since the original galaxy phone came out and never had a problem.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrius777:
So would it be better for us to go to an AT&T store or to just call customer service from our phone? I figured that if we went to the store then they could at least see that it's a phone and not a tablet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMXO:
Go to an AT&T store & have the rep see it's actually a phone & get a 4G smartphone plan. Don't deal with CS on the phone because they can't see the Note for themselves.

I brought my Note to an AT&T store & they initially asked me if it was a tablet. I told them, "nope, it's a phone". They said, cool & gave me a new sim card after I used my upgrade on an iP4s.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starbuck123:
That depends on what kind of data plan you want to be on. Do you want to try to get the $10 unlimited non smartphone plan back (assuming you were on it) or just use the "smartphone data" plan? If you don't mind being on the 2gb smartphone data plan for $25, go to the store and show it to them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
Please reread the original post.

The issue is not 'you should be on a more expensive unlimited data plan'.

The issue is AT&T Is saying 'your device can't have voice. Just data.'

This is similar to this:

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

[/COLOR]

In the OP's case, I don't think he has an option.

AT&T's lookup system thinks the IMEI is a tablet that doesn't get phone service.

The only way for him to disprove that is to go into a store and show them the note and point out it's running Gingerbread, and therefore it is a phone not a tablet. Once they do that, they will allow voice again, but he'll have to use a smartphone plan after that.

In any event, data connection speed in the same range. Best download about 2K. I do see an H+ icon in my notification bar FWIW. Not sure if it was there before (I didn't look).

To try as best an apples to apples comparison as possible, I tried my HTC Jetstream which is HSPA+ (and also LTE but no LTE in LA yet). Upload and download in the 5K range, more what you'd expect.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maroon Mushroom:
Hello everyone. AT&T employee here. I'll do my best to answer any question you may have.

I have a Note myself and have not received a warning. I am a heavy data user too. (unlimited plan)

To use this and reduce your risk of a warning, you should have a 4G smartphone data plan. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you have a different plan, you will be flagged, warned, and booted off. We can see your IMEI in any phone you put your SIM card in. It updates instantly and has nothing to do with data use. The amount of time it takes for you to receive the warning from us varies.

If you DO get booted off, go into the store. Explain that you are using a phone, and it will be resolved. It is unfortunate that the IMEIs are bundled with tablets though. I'm hoping this will change soon.

We'll work with you and resolve the issue. You're paying for the phone and data service. Who cares what device you're using. I'll answer any questions to the best of my ability.

I just got home from teaching. At 10 pm, at home rather than downtown LA, speed was faster, 2700 as opposed to average of about 1800. So location and perhaps time of day matters.

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

Very helpful. Thank you.

I have two questions.

First, how do we know for sure we have a 4G smartphone data plan? I asked the CSR and she said I did but didn't seem positive she knew what I was talking about. I'm paying $25 for 2GB. Does that sound like the 4G smartphone data plan?

Second, assuming we have the 4G smartphone data plan, is the APN the wap.cingular one discussed above? Or a different one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maroon Mushroom:
wap.cingular is correct.

Yes, you have the 2GB package.

I wouldn't recommend spoofing your IMEI. We can see that's it's BS and you will eventually be flagged. I believe it also violates the terms of your plan at AT&T.

Again I recommend talking to the store manager at your location. They have more knowledge of the opus systems than other RSCs most of the time.

I expect to get a notification on my note at some point, but I will get it resolved in person when it becomes an issue.

I'm on a business trip right now so I won't have access to opus until Monday. I'll work with multiple managers and find a method to permanently resolve this. I'll provide a tutorial if needed.

It's an exotic phone and I love it to death. I want everyone to enjoy it as much as I do.
