[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
You should know if you were a Android owner, your lucky to get 1 update to a newer version of software on

any carrier

, very few phones get 2-3 version upgrades. A 2 year old phone ? Good luck, after about 6 months your lucky to get anything.

It's one of the bigger problems with Android. Android is NOT Android if one person has 2.1 and the next person has 4.0 but, they are all called Android, right ?

If you have a Android device and you want to update it, Rooting it is the only way to go...because you wont get it from your carrer.

Some of the issues you don't have to deal with on WP7...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _AnAkIn_:
Hello,

Does anyone know what are the differences between I9100 and I9100N? I have been looking for information on I9100N but it seems to be sold on very few sites. It's not even listed on Samsung site nor Wikipedia.

Are the ROMs for I9100 compatible with it?

I have bought an I9100G and the site where I bought it from proposed to exchange it with an I9100N, that's why I'd like to know if it would be better to take that second one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 007Arc:
Get the original one or you will regret it. Also the roms won't work with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _AnAkIn_:
It's very hard to get the original one in France as Samsung France has only been sending the I9100G to resellers, and it doesn't look like they'll be giving the I9100 again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
See if its exynos by google search
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchu6am4:
NFC?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyssa1104:
Rubbish you can get the i9100 or the i9100P in France from these networks and some stores with open sim(simfree)> Only, Orange, SFR.. The i1900P has NFC support ..;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _AnAkIn_:
Actually it seems that it was just the customer support not knowing what they were talking about, there is no such thing as a I9100N.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyssa1104:
Seems about right lol still if your after a NFC go for i9100P good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] ala3x:
can someone tell me please which is better ?

SetCpu or No-Frills? and why?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
No Frillz as it allows you to set i/o scheduler.

Moreover, it's free.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
it's just a application. it's stability doesnt matter. it's the stability of the kernel that matters.

just use whichever you like.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] txtigah:
Quick question...is the last update, the one that went out to the international Note with the adjusted keyboard option to one side or the other and the lockscreen changes a few weeks back, already installed on the forthcoming ATT Note? Curiously it seems that none of the reviews of late mention it as some still complain about stretching the thumb all the way across the screen to type without being able to adjust the keyboard. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] p51d007:
My guess would be no, but the minute you install Kies, or try an OTA update via wi-fi, it will show up.

I got my international note on Dec 23, the minute I connected there was 1 update available, and two weeks later another update which brought it to LA4, 2.3.6

These things probably have a 1 month or more window from production, shipping to, then arrival at a store.

I work on photocopiers, and the serial numbers have the build dates, and even though these things weigh 500 pounds or more, they have a 3-6 month window from production, to us unboxing them in our office. Most of the time, they are one version of firmware out of date.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] txtigah:
Thanks p51. I can't wait to get my hands on this beast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
International and AT&T have separate/different firmware release schedule and different firmwares as well. So, don't expect to see a firmware already there wait for you to update. It never happened on any AT&T devices.

Even though Samsung will frequently update firmware on international version, not so on AT&T version. First of all, AT&T has to request an updated firmware from Samsung. Without AT&T's request, Samsung can't do anything about it. Then, it takes couple months for AT&T test the updated firmware before OKed for release. Then, AT&T has to agree on a date for the release. Let's say GNote 2 or GS3 is about to be released on AT&T, the update for current Note will be delayed until the new phones are out of door.

I won't expect any update on AT&T Note until summer at the earliest unless some serious bug is found.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Snizzoop:
Got my i717M yesterday. It's running LA2. I have not come across any options for the updated keyboard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
+1. All updates to the ATT version must be approved by ATT. No such bottleneck for our version. Not to mention DBT seems to be on the ball.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] p51d007:
True, IF any at&t note gets an update, consider yourself lucky ;)

A carrier rom is usually the LAST one to get an update (except for iJunk).

Plus, please use caution and if you look for a rom not from a carrier, don't

try installing a rom made for an international (GT-N7000) to an at&t (SGH-i717)

and vice versa. Guarantee you'll brick it.

Yep, that's the version I have, CSC says DBT :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vizographic:
I wasn't aware of the keyboard adjustment, it sounds like the perfect fix for those of us that are under 6'4" and paw challenged. Shame the carriers are so timid regarding upgrades, but this keyboard fix is a need market app developers should quickly supply. That will make waiting for the big boys to bring goodies like CM9 a little more bearable. : )

Cool! Lots of us Texans on the LTE phone threads. Down in San Antonio today and LTE is rocking! Did you order the GNote? If so,not much longer now! Just saw an article on the GNote in USA today. You will love it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] inconceivable:
So I'm guessing that means the LTE variant won't have the Evernote sync option from S Memo yet? Can any Canadian users confirm?

I have Thumb Keyboard from the market that I use on my 10.1 tab and it works beautifully by being able to move keyboard, split it, etc. I did notice it has a setting for 5" phone/tablet. Looking forward to seeing if it works on Note...and how well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I have the one handed option on LA4 firmware. I do not use it as I think the GNote works well with 2 hands. I will take a screen shot later and post so you can see it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] txtigah:
Great news on the LTE. Pre-ordered through BBY in McKinney to get the 50 buck gc and free cover. Still debating which insurance to get. Stepping up from the Captivate..it has seen better days. Very excited to get this beast and see what the developers can do with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
You will love your GNote! I got ensquared for my GNote back in December, $58 for one year since I did not have a manufacturers warranty which you do. It is the only phone I have ever bought insurance on.

This is a screen shot of the stock Gingerbread Keyboard. I like it better than the Samsung keyboard. The one handed keyboard is Samsung keyboard option on my firmware LA4. I have not used it because I think the regular keyboard is the perfect size for emailing and texting two handed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 3_D:
Another McKinney person here. Well, really Melissa, but close enough!

Had my Intl Note for a few month and loving it. Will pick up my ATT note from BB this Sunday also. Gotta try out the LTE.

We may need to start a Collin County GNote club! lol! I want the LTE model as well! Right now I am looking to get an unlocked Canadian Bell model. We'll see if that works out. Turns out if would be about $50 more than the ATT model for no commitment. Just checking out a few details. They have the NFC enabled so I am checking to see if you can load Google Wallet and if it works etc.

[G Tablet General] Thegreatheed:
I have been quite happy with Flashback 9.0. Been running it daily for months, have found very few issues at all. It seems to be a nice stable 3.0.1 build.
[G Tablet General] eoniverse:
The problem with this kind of question is that everyone has an opinion. I wanted as complete funtionality as I could get along with stability. Hardware acceleration was impt to me so I opted for Calkulin + Clemsyn Combo Overclock at 1.5 ghz V8. I know.... froyo 2.2- but I like that even the camera and Skype work (though the camera is pretty low qual). I miss the widgets and the look of more current Anrdriod ROM's but otherwise I could not be happier with speed and stability and programs that just work.

I am waiting on ICS to mature and have little doubt that I'll be headed there in what I guessing will be Spring/summer when the kinks are worked out.

Just do the 'backup thing' and try a few out. It's nothing to go back when you have everything backed up.
[G Tablet General] jaymaj:
Thanks for the input guys! That's what I was looking for... A few suggestions.

Maybe, but they come with a contract, so you end up paying lot more than you would for just the phone. I got mine with a contract though. It was free too. Now I'm paying 15 euro monthly for calls and internet :P

So I have been messing with various ROMS on the Nexus for a few days. There are few things I must have and I have only been able to find these on Milestone. I am curious if anyone knows if these are enabled on any others

- I use exchange for work and the time out and lock feature is a pain in the ass if you have to enter your PIN everytime you hit the power button to lock the phone. Well on Milestone, when you hit the power button it doesnt actually lock the phone it just puts it to sleep. Havent seen this on any other ROMS yet

- Inside sound an click volumes then you hit LINK or not LINK so that you can change the volume of notification versus ringtone. I dont want my text notification as loud as my ring tone. I have only seen this on Milestone as well.

I love to swap ROMS, just curious if anyone knew of any ROMS comparable to Mielstone

What is overpriced to you? Without that info, others won't know if they should post their price. I got one off eBay for $12. But, only because I bought the charger with all power adapters from same person at same time for too much money ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
ebay.

The 5ft is standard OEM, the cheaper 3ft is after market.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
i search and the $12 i have found all are aftermark brands. You can buy a ipad cable for $3 why are this cables for asus transformer so expensive. Even if it is for transformer 1 since they are basically same cable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Because there are millions more people with any idevice than Transformer/Transformer Prime devices. Simple economics really, they can sell them for less as they are made in higher quantities which makes their production cheaper, and they'll sell way more of them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gbmitchell:
While that is how economics works when referring to production costs, I doubt that is the real reason. There is truth no doubt but the difference in cost is not that great. I think it is more of there is less demand so there are less people making them, so there is less competition and they can get away with charging more.

I don't know why I am arguing with you. It is just semantics. Anyway, I find it annoying.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
The real reason that iPad wires are so much cheaper than Transformer Prime wires is that a lot more companies make 3rd party iPad cables.

If you are in competition with a dozen other vendors of the same product, you drop the price to stay competitive and if enough companies are making a given product eventually the price drops to just above manufacturing cost.

Only one other company (that I can find) is making 3rd party Transformer cables, so as long as they price themselves lower than Asus's first-party cable they have no real pressure to drop their price lower.
