AT&T is just one of the crappiest carriers on earth, not only do they fill their phones with bloatware and locked up radios but their network fails, I get around 10mbits here (France) on hspa+, which is roughly equivalent to the capped LTE speed you are having on AT&T right now (without the battery drain drawbacks) and 10mbits on LTE is still fail, you should be getting at least 30mbits on an uncapped LTE network if only AT&T spent so much to invest in their networks as they do by adding restrictions to their customers and giving cash away to their shareholders. Just my 2 cents.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rambo6:
Having traveled through Europe using the local networks, I would agree completely. We get ripped off here. There's no real competition in the US.

Dual GNote owners?

I know there are a number of dual GNote owners on this thread. Any thoughts on the returning the ATT version and keeping the International or vice versa?

After a week of charge and recharge cycles I'm a bit disappointed in the battery life as I struggle to get 14 hours a day (Which is not bad) with my average usage patterns. Having said that, the LTE network and it's strength in DFW trumps a lot of other issues and faults.

With my usage patterns the phones are both performing well. No real issues. I have not rooted my ATT version incase I take it back, but will after 30 days if I keep it to de bloat it. I am definitely keeping my International, but was thinking of selling my skyrocket if I keep the ATT GNote. I can say the bluetooth on the GNote is more like I was expecting. My skyrocket BT is useless so it might be going either way unless a new update is coming within a week or so.

Still have a few more weeks to decide!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] davidusr:
Three letters... LTE! That's what keeps me on the ATT Note. As soon as I get my International Note back, it'll go to the market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pachi72:
4 reasons why I would keep international version.

1. Exynos

2. Middle button

3. LTE drains battery life.

4. No ATT logo...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I am keeping my gt-n7000 although I like the 4 button look better. It is cleaner. Just a matter of time before a mechanical button causes issues. I do like unbranded also. I have considered getting the Bell model from Canada and still might. They have the toggle for LTE/ HSPA in addition to nfc enabled and no branding.

The battery is an issue but I am carrying both phones with me right now in case I need to pop the SIM into the other to keep rolling. I guess I could just carry the battery LOL! I do love the LTE and we have it in most large cites in Texas so most of the time I am on LTE.

Overall a positive experience on both models. Was just wondering what some of you guys thought.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DJsCrIBbLe:
No lte made my decision the n7000 . Otherwise I don't get into the whole this processor that processor crap .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Underground_XI:
some dev told me as long as the custom rom you are running is super smooth and stuff you do not need a super uber fast processor, so I guess processor is important but to a certain point
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kawgirlval69:
my international is just as fast as the lte(if you know how to set it up) and i hate not having the home button. plus its not branded crap i need to custom rom to make a decent phone... selling the lte one we got to get another international one.... tampa fl lte where i live i get 12-16mbps on both consistently...

thats my opinion....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] davidusr:
You can get 12-16mbps on the International Note?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sinful Animosity:
People comparing exynos to snapdragon are getting a bit ridiculous. Its a processor in a phone. It makes almost no difference in day to day practical use unless you take pleasure in jerking off over benchmark apps.

The whole LTE drains battery is stupid too. I'm overclocked to 1.8 Ghz, with LTE on. Guess how long my battery lasts with moderate use? 26 hours with medium to heavy usage. God forbid I use juice defender, underclock, or turn off my live wallpaper.

Hardware home button? Your opinion, can't argue with that. I personally don't want my phone looking like something from Apple.

But hey, can't please everyone, can you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ekerbuddyeker:
I have both and you aren't correct about it makes no difference which processor. I watch a lot of video and quite simply he international version can take anything thrown at it while the Att version cannot, and I have to run in SW mode on MX for example which is like watching over compressed video. Overall I still like the ATT version because of LTE but I always have at least 2 batteries on me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sinful Animosity:
I said day to day practical use. If you watch a lot of video all day, then of course exynos will be better. But that's not what I call practical. It seems more video viewers prefer exynos, but that's not what the average person will most likely use it for
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PoisonWolf:
Then why are you on a 5.3" screen? To view e-mail on a grand scale? :D

Im just busting your chops. ;) Both phones shouldn't differ too much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I think the LTE trumps the processor for me. There is no way 12-14 mbps down competes with LTE in my area.

This week I was traveling an stuck my Mugen in my International and watched Netflix for several hours (on wifi). The picture quality was more dependent on the wifi connection that the processor from what I could tell. Even G wifi speeds were more than adequate to watch Netflix on.

I have not seen the battery life on the i717 that others are seeing. Of course that is individual usage patterns.

ATT owners need to stop being so sensitive about the processor. Sheesh, benchmarks are the objective measurement of the processor's speed. The exynos is faster. Not a big deal, but it is faster. Stop with the defensiveness and enjoy your phone. The vast majority of owners (including me) do not ever see the full scale processing power anyways so we can agree that for the average person, both phones are fine IMO.

The area the International shines is updates. My DBT (Germany) CSC GNote has been updated 4 times since November. The current build (LB4) is superb! I can't wait for ICS to be here! I am not even rooted because I keep getting updates. Have a stock i717 also since I am in the 30 day window to return.

I think LTE where I live trumps even a quad core, meaning I would take dual core with LTE over quad core without LTE especially now that we can use up to 5GB without wondering if we will be throttled at any minute. Then we go to EDGE speeds which is better than what they were doing when throttling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
IF and say IF this is true then its just in your area.....i get 24-30 Mbps on my note with LTE. so there is a Difference. so IF thats the case in your area then i can see the arguement there.

and i want that extra 10-15 Mbps cuz i tether with my note and want my internet to be just as fast on the device im tethering to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bkeaver:
I personally think this thread is based on childish concerns and reasoning. My personal opinion is get the phone you like for your personal reasons and who gives a rats ass beyond that. You get no prize for the better device outside of your own personal enjoyment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
So your opinion is that you don't have an opinion. That's fine for you, but it does make a difference to people depending on their primary use for the phone.

I would have preferred this phone to come with an Exynos chip instead of a snapdragon, but to me it's not a deal-breaker and I actually hate the hw button on the intl note, I love capacitive buttons, I also love LTE and I don't watch as many loaded videos, I generally stream netflix which the snapdragon handles just fine. I also play games and video chat with my girl when I get a free second, all of which this phone does perfectly.

If I were going to sit around and watch 720p videos all day, I probably would have traded my Note for an international version.

I also like the fact that I can insure this phone on ATT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bkeaver:
No that isn't what I said. O have the at&t version of the note and I am satisfied with it. What I said is the best version is the version that fits your needs. That my friend deems it the best version for you. What is important to you is not necessarily important to me so your opinion which is better means nothing to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sinful Animosity:
I like the 5.3" screen because I'm compensating for something! But in all seriousness, I don't have time to watch videos all day, and use the Note for actually taking notes. I have my Google docs synced to my phone, and use the handwriting to text to take work and class notes. The Note is the perfect device for this.

If I'm going to decode videos all day andor whatever video buffs do, I'd get something that's actually made for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
I mean "the best version for you is the one that fits your needs" is a rather obvious statement, which is why I said you didn't really opine on the matter.

if the question is "which is better, mustard or ketchup?" and you said "well, the best one is the one that tastes better for you" then that's not really an opinion per se.

What I'm saying is that for the various reasons the ATT one is better :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I know what I like but like to know others points of view. I know a lot about phones and electronics in general, but I am open to hearing what others have to say. I am flexible enough to adjust my judgement based on others information so I enjoy these threads.

A lot of people do not know all the possibilities so these forums make sharing information fun for me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kawgirlval69:
yes heres a sample with 2 bars signal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kawgirlval69:
well as for the 12-14 mbps, thats where the lte is here... as i said it is just as fast... i tested side by side... i cant wait to find a faster area to see what it will do...

as for your 5g thing... if you set up the international note like i said in a previous post you wont have that issue either... you have to make att's system know a note is on your acct... and it is not underhanded...

(the underhanded way is to take the display one and use the imei.... the whole one... or so its being debated whether it is or isnt underhanded... i dont have a dog in that fight and dont want one)

use the imei but use 0000, 1111, 2222 ... as the last 4 imei digits... the system sees it as a lte note and populates the account correctly and seeing it is a galaxy note being used this is not dishonest.... set up the apn the pta way and zoom goes the phone...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Hysterics:
Just felt like throwing in my two cents. I bought the i717 in Canada under Rogers ( Same as AT&T right? ) I haven't done anything to it, everythings stock plus some Apps I downloaded, I'm not familiar with Android so I haven't done much downloading of Apps, don't know whats good yet ect. But I've been really blown away by how smooth everything runs. It's an awesome device for sure.

Gotta say though, it really has the guts to handle bloatware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tefloncoated:
So after several weeks of using the ATT Note...

- I LOVE the speed of LTE, absolutely positively. But the flipside is i didnt even notice how I blew through 150-200 Mb of data each day with not too much media streaming at all!

- I am not worried about the bloatware (i actually like the my ATT and YP apps) or uncertainty of the ICS update (dont care much about it).

- I was able to remedy the funky annoying stock lock screen behavior with GoLocker.

But lack of Video Editor, Radio and not so great battery life are getting to me... i am finding myself thinking of going back to the trusty "old" custom IGN before the 30 day period is over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] parth6512:
I have the AT&T note. Even tho its a great phone, I don't have LTE in my area and the lack of the physical home button(coming from a iPhone) is really bothering me. I might get the IGN before my 30 days are up as well. Not sure about your battery life but mine has been phenomenal with no lag what's so ever.

To all rogers customers!

Preface

I was just at a Mall today getting quotes for my dad about the Samsung Galaxy S3. It was for $720 cash which sounded about right. At Buy N Cell, my sister got a quote for $530 (sorry, I don’t have the source at the moment).

So I went to Rogers and I asked them with the Early Cancellation Fee, how much to get the S3 today? He quoted $455.

I got an International Note for $480. Because I thought I would get more development support. It ended up that I didn’t flash anything beyond GingerBread ROMS I’m on CassiesXtraLite LC1 and I love it but that’s it. I end up reading about flashing more than actual flashing.

I also vaguely remember something about the Exynos chipset and now that turned out to be a pain in the butt with the eMMC bug :(

So now I’m thinking, why didn’t I just get a subsidized Note? I did a comparison and here are the few highlights

Rogers vs. International Results

1.Snapdragon vs. Exynos little speed difference, I have potential brick bug

2.Adreno 220 vs. Mali-400MP Is there a difference?

2. NFC vs. None nice to have now

3.N/A vs. FM Radio used only once.

4.Capacitive Button vs. Physical home I am really glad to have physical home.

5.LTE vs. No LTE I can now get LTE for the same price as 3G

6.Lock vs. Unlock No relevant to me at the moment.

7.3 yr contract vs. No Contract But I doubt I’ll switch carriers within 3 yrs.

8.Rogers branded vs. Unbranded Does this affect Resale?

So my question is:

Rogers subsidized is $199. I think I feel like a fool. :crying:

Are you happy with your Rogers Note overall?

I feel the development here is just as strong, I basically need to achieve Root and flash a lite ROM. I would unlock it for $8 and having ICS without fear of eMMC bug would be nice.

Anyone regret getting a subsidized Note and wished they paid full price for a Galaxy Note?

The deal breaker is that I bought the screen size for videos (I throw all movie files at it, Youtube HD, Google Maps in the car, Intl Note works like a breeze). I’ve read in this thread that the Intl Note is better for this, and I do watch videos a lot on my Note.

Seeing that the Galaxy S3 are all *somewhat* the same, I figured the rumoured Galaxy Note 2 would follow suit. So I'm wondering if I should wait for the North American Note to come out in Jan 2013 (if running on the same rumoured timeline) and save $200?

I dunno...I just felt like I paid a lot for my phone when I should have went subsidized with 3 yr contract renewal.

Hi, i thought the international notes having different chips and speed from the at&t ones yeah? At&t os dual core 1.5ghz while the international is 1.4ghz?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
The CPU clock speed is different between the two, but many think (myself included) that the intl version with the 1.4 ghz is a better chip. Also has a better gpu. I wouldn't say the adreno sucks... but its not great...

Hello,

I've a question related to the "EAP-SIM" functionality, which will I think interest many French users who recently switch to "Free Mobile" provider.

In order to work, it seems that both the ROM and the Radio/RIL need adjustments. For example, EAP-SIM is available in Cyanogenmod from what I've read but not for the desire as the Desire Radio/RIL does not give access to the required SIM information.

Am I understanding correctly the whole EAP-SIM process on an Android phone ?

So I guess there's almost no chance at all to have it available on our lovely Desire as it would involve HTC to bring the Radio/RIL to the required level before having a ROM use it, right ?

Thanks to anyone that have more detailed information about it, as I'm always happy to learn new things :)

Hi

Is it possible to include EAP-SIM authentification in Nightly CyanogenMod 7 ROM for HTC Desire ?

This authentification is now used by FREE MOBILE operator in France and this is very usefull to switch automatically between 3G network and Free wifi secured network available on every user adsl box (freebox).

There is a webpage about EAP-SIM/AKA patch on code.google.

It seems this patch EAP-SIM patch was tested against Android 2.3.5_r1

Here is what I have done to try and fix it ..

1. Download a different Launcher version ( Failed )

2. Uninstalled Go Launcher Ex ( Failed )

3. Cleared Data of application ( Worked for a day .. Then failed )

4. Cleared Sony Ericsson Home from "Application"

Thanks .. And sorry if this is in the wrong section
[Xperia Play General] icmcomm:
try on factory data reset.

1. try under the manage application clear data.

2. try on different launcher see it happens to other too?

3. some version of launcher might crash with the version of android you use. you need to find out yourself.

4. worse to worse you need to full factory reset. and reinstall the launcher see it happen to crash or not.

I have the Alltell SP1200 plan, but am a Verizon customer. When you call your provider, do you get a Verizon rep? Or are you in one of the few areas where Alltell is still holding out?

Also, you may have a problem keeping your unlimited data plan if you still have an Alltell phone. Something about the plan codes. If you didn't get a verizon phone when they bought Alltell, you may have a problem now transferring your data plan over. Let me know how it works out.

right now, I have a droid razr maxx. When Verizon bought Alltell, my area got sucked up in the change and I immediately went out and got a Verizon phone. Now I got unlimited 4g data for $20 a month. It is possible.
