[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] will21478:
My contract wasn't up until June. So i called Sunday and checked if i could upgrade early they said no. I hung up and called right back and told aother CSR the same thing that i had heard that we could upgrade to the galaxy note for $399. Well he put my on hold for about 10 and came with we can do that ill mark your account so you can just go tomorrow to the closest store and they will take care of you. Ok so ibget to the store today as soon as they opened I told the CSR that my account should be posted so i could upgrade early to the Note. Well the system was rebooting today so they had a hard time sgetting up to different price of $399 so they had to show on the ticket that only paid $299 for the Note and twisted my arm ;-) into spending the other $100 in the store on accessories so on the ticket it would show what the extra $100 was for lol....so after I left there i went to the store 3 miles away from them and got my cash refund on $100 accessories......soooooooo after all that that's how i got my awesome white Note for $299 :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Scythe024:
Checked at&t account and unable to purchase for $299 :o( got my skyrocket in October. So not sure how the rest of you got it 4 months in, but I'm jealous. I may cough up the $650 to get it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesd86:
I'd just wait till march 5th and start trolling craigslist for people that can't return and thinks it's too big..maybe pick it up for 300 no contract extension.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] spiritcrusher33:
My 1 yr was up around jan 2013.. pre-ordered the note at 299 on the 7th. received it on the 17th.. tried to get my buddy at work to do the same, funny thing his showed full price even though his 1 yr was up in aug of this yr.. so who knows. maybe it only worked for certain people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
It doesnt work for premier customers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dmbrown81:
Upgraded in November with my wife's line and used hers to upgrade to the note. When it came in Friday I called att to activate and to make sure the sim card got switched over and when I hung up I preordered another one on the same line:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
I seriously hate you guys :( haha

We have six lines and it wont let me upgrade any of them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truaim:
Wow lol, I think what were seeing is the upgrade will go through if it's letting you see it for the upgrade price. AWESOME.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gjllopez:
Ill sell you one, pm me if your interested
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Toaster Strudels:
My contract is up in June.... Does that mean that I can get the note for $299 right now and restart my contract??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
I would if i could but i am in the middle of putting a new motor in an 08 wrx.

The best I could offer would be a roughly $350 best buy store credit at the moment.

I appreciate the offer for sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pappyfire:
The best they would do for me is $399, my contract is up on 3/13, so about 1 month from now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truaim:
Not any more, you could only renew your contract if you PREORDERED, which obviously went out of effect yesterday. To confirm this I went and looked at the ATT website, and the Notes price for me is now $600. Sorry man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rvb1:
I upgraded to a Skyrocket in December. Pre-ordered a Note on line for $299. Received it on Friday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
A few have reported getting that price in store....you might try it.... Of course keep in mind there may be 3 or more high profiles devices come out between now and then
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] willdtx:
I tried going in store and they said there was no way they would do it for that price. Waited for the website to finish upgrades yesterday and ordered one for $299. Checked late last night on another line about and upgrade and it now shows $649. I was not eligible to upgrade the line that I did until 3/13. So from what I can tell if you missed the preorder, you are out of luck on the early upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truaim:
My order was processed this morning and shipped this afternoon! Will be here tomorrow! To clarify here's what the deal was:

If you PREORDERED the note, you qualified for an AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OF YOUR CONTRACT. If you missed the preorder, you're out of luck and have to pay full price less early contract termination adjustments.

The preorder price and contract renewal, however, were only available to those that had been on contract for AT LEAST 30 DAYS.

Some speculation is that ATT allowed this in order to force users into the newly priced data plans, seeing as they won't lose money as you're locked back into a 2 year contract.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Willanhanyard:
Note has been an epic phone for the past couple of days. Absolutely love it. I am just wondering if I should root it. Never rooted before as this is my first android phone. I think it would be kinda of fun to mess around with roms and stuff. I am just worried that I will brick my phone and lose the awesomeness. Can someone help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
There are no custom rom's yet, but if you want to read, overclock, remove crapware, backup your apps effectively, block ads, and void your warranty, then by all means.

Sent from my almost cm7 p925
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gjllopez:
i would solely because I'm just curious as to how fast my phone can feel without the crapware from att and possibly some ocing and uving. I'm fearful of the counter though, but I might just do it this weekend once I'm done with midterms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Willanhanyard:
Does it really make that much of a difference if you delete a few programs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
FTFY
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
This is what I always tell people when they ask should the ROOT and ROM. I can't tell you weather you should or shouldn't. You need to make that choice yourself and know that no one is responsible for what you do to your phone.

But if you decided to ROOT and ROM your phone the first thing on your to do list is.....READ. Read everything. Read how to ROOT and how to ROM. Read about the tools and programs you are going to use. Watch youtube videos and tutorials. And when you're done with that......RE-READ and RE-WATCH all of it!

I can't stress how important it is that you understand what you are doing. If you don't get what you're doing you will end up on the forums begging for help to fix it.

I read up on Rooting and Roms for a few weeks before I tried to do it myself. I also asked questions in a respectful manner not expecting an answer RIGHT THEN. I also hit the THANKS button, that goes a long way!

So in a nutshell....EDUCATE yourself and have respect for the community when you ask questions.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] drksilenc:
a thousand points to mortem very true and valid advice. no truer advice could be spoken about android mods and roms. My personal favorite is when people try to use international roms on things like the skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Once you get the itch, you will do it eventually :cool:

But good advice above! And while you are researching, a flash counter workaround root method will likely be found.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
agreed.....people don't read, they just want and don't bother checking into things. And then they get all mad when they jack up their device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] drksilenc:
heh there were atleast 40 bricked epic touch 4g's bricked when the isgs2 ics roms leaked lol people just wouldnt listen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I would wait until you are past 30 days and know you are going to keep the phone or you have no exchanges. after that you will have to go to warranty support so you can flash back to stock. No need to make additonal work before 30 days.

Who know there may even be a super 1 click root by then?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonhead09:
So, I experience quite much lag when using live wallpapers. I have tried many custom rome, launchers, kernels, overclocking, but nothing seems to help. Is my desire z just too weak for running live wallpapers smoothly? If someone can run lw smoothly, please tell me how did you do that. Oh yeah, the best results I have gotten with cyanogenmod 7.1.0 and hacked touchwiz launcher. Any help ??:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven How:
May I know what Rom ur using? And do u use service app like Skype ,Im+ and vice versa?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Do the built-in HTC live wallpapers work okay? Sometimes 3rd party live wallpapers on the Market are really poorly optimized, and don't work great. I've never had an issue running live wallpapers (both HTC and 3rd party) on my DZ, including the stock ROM and Sense 3 ROMs. As the previous response stated, maybe you have an issue with background processes?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven How:
Sometimes HTC live wallpaper also lag =\
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonhead09:
Well, I have this lag on EVERY rom i have used. I can notice that the ui runs slower, no matter what. And the lag is same on stock and market live walls.

Now I'm using mini and nexus live wallpaper.(the stock miui one) The ui runs slower than on static ones. AND i have about 170mb of free ram, so that should not be the problem either. Any help???
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xT4Z1N4TRx:
What are your clock speeds? Whenever mines over 1.3ghz its fine :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonhead09:
So you can run live wallpapers without any lag ?? HOW ???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rosevilletoyota:
I was wondering the best way to clean this up. I have no internal space left. thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
Did you already move your larger apps to your SD card?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
I have a crapload of apps and I still have 900mb of internal. cant imagine what you've got going on lol..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
How much is a crapload in ur eyes?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ricmann1:
Just buy a class 10 memory card and move apps to that card.

Because it is class 10 the transfer rate of files will be much faster
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Had the same issue. I am assuming you are familiar with titanium backup for apps and you know how to make a nandroid backup of your current setup from cwm.

Use the batch feature in titanium and backup your user apps to your SD card. Remove your sd card. Then boot into recovery and format everything including emmc. This applies to 2.3 Roms only. Plug in your sd card complete with the rom you want to use. Reinstall your favorite 2.3 based rom and restore your user apps.

If you need help, let me know. I hope you find this helpful.

Hello,

Do you know if it's possible to have the notification toggle buttons like in Cyanogenmod 9??​

See what I'm talking about here: w w w.theandroidsoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screenshot_2012-01-25-12-09-31.jpg

I have been searching but I cannot find even find the name of the component...

Do you have any clue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Try out widgetsoid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Try out Elixir2 also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cudonfls:
Thank you to both of you!

Finally I found one app that have this functionality and has ICS the look and feel :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
Looks like Widgetsoid does the same just for free.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cudonfls:
Yes, but the look and feel you can have with the paid one is more close to ICS Theme... and 0.79€ is quite cheap...

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technologic797:
Try and get your phone replaced.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbeldua:
is that the only alternative solution? i was wondering if a software would do and repair it, since software also possible damaged it. i was hoping you guys could help me before i sent it back. any way thanks for your help.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
Try contacting Jinx13 http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=4002805

He uses a remote method to unlock bootloaders and such for xperia phones. I've heard this method can also be used to unbrick phones, which is most likely what you've done.

PM him, or get his email off his profile. I may be wrong, but it's worth a shot.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbeldua:
thanks, Got it working though....I used S1tool with semc patch and did the ground to test point thingy. after a few tries... the network just showed up. :) I can now use the simcard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cyberguycpt:
Well I have been salivating over the Note since I heard about it months ago. My only set back was the fact that I had just signed up for AT&T this past November with the Samsung Skyrocket. I tried to put the phone out of my mind but daily I would find myself sifting through YouTube videos. I kept telling myself to just be happy with what I had but, low and behold the phone comes out today and ofcourse I have to have it. :)

So I call up my local AT&T and ask to comfirm the price off contract was $650 and if they had any in stock. The employee informs me that yes they are in stock, but I will not be able to purchase it off contract. For a second Im lost in dissapointment, then the employee says why would you want to buy it off contract anyway when you can do an early upgrade and just pay $550. Say what! So I hop in my Toyota Matrix and fly ( seriously going about 90 mph) to the store.

I get to the store and let them know I had just called to buy the Note and the manager and an employee start helping me. The employee goes into my account and clearly im not early upgrade eligible, but the manager says its fine Ill just do an overide. So while the manager is doing the overide the employee starts telling about the jawbone speaker that they have been pushing for awhile. It cost $199 so im just listening not be rude, but decline her offer. Then the Manager says how about if I through the Speaker in for free since your already paying $549 for the phone ( ok now we are talking), I happily accept this offer.

I know my story is a bit long but I am always hearing about how terrible AT&T is so I just wanted to send a little positivity there way.

With the case, screen cover, and Tax I ended up paying $649 total. I plan on selling my skyroket for $400 so ill only end up being out $249 dollars. Im going to try out the speaker if I dont like it ill probally sell it for $150 then Ill only be out $100.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Willanhanyard:
Congratz man! :-D

Just something to think about though, a lot of us got the Note before our upgrades were eligible, including me, for $300. There's a thread floating around here somewhere about people who were only like 2 months into their contract and got it for $300.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
I think he is the first I have seen that was offered this in store from what I have seen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cyberguycpt:
Well further examination of my receipt I can tell I was offered the Jawbone box because they price of the the Note was discounted to 299, so i guess the Manager was just trying to recup the difference. But I am still happy and I guess I could just go to another store and return the Jawbone because I was charged full price for it on the receipt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] technillion:
ATT is great?? You just wait!

I'll admit I've had some really good experiences with ATT in-store customer experience.

But over time, they just keep changing the plans and increasing the prices. It's been 8 years since I switched from VZN to ATT so I could have the "freedom" to be one of the first to buy unlocked GSM phones from overseas and not have to wait for phones to be "provisioned" (ala Sprint and VZN).

...but over time, what used to cost me about $250/mo. for 6 phones is now costing me $400/mo with 2GB data limits!

Even when I threaten ATT that I'm leaving, they seem to mysteriously find discounts and savings I qualify for to lower my bill. Can't complain about that too much I guess...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cyberguycpt:
Yeah i think im going to return the Jawbone speaker tommorow and get my 199 back. Im going to a different store to return it course.

MY FAULT I POSTED THE WRONG VIDEO! I mean, seriously? Is there any need at this point in time? Will there be any hardware that can even run it by this fall or summer aside from maaaaaybe the Galaxy S 3? I dont understand it. Sometimes I feel like google should just keep all their OS development in the closet for at least 1.5-2 years at a time. 1 year minimum. Then do a controlled release with a absolutely bug-free platform. Im already seeing and feeling the gadget fatigue setting in. For christs sake a friend of mine just picked up a set of iPhone 3g's for free for his whole family like a year ago! And they are still liking them! I just dont think it makes sense to keep flooding the market so hard with devices and devices. But then again, that seems to be the correct formula for going up against the all-mighty fruit company. idk. This is great for developers, bad for consumers i guess. But im sure you all know that. Im just ranting.

THE NEWS ABOUT IT APPEARS IN THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO!!!!

Many of us still are using gingerbread in our devices and even some of them are shipped with froyo on it!

Meanwhile ICS isn't even finished perfectly yet so I don't understand why they shouldn't continue developing ICS before even starting Jelly bean...
[Android General] ediesel18:
I say go.

I think its a great idea. I not going to complain about more and new features. I also LOVE the feeling on an major android upgrade. And as for flooding the market with phones, Its fantastic because it makes companies compete to give you the best product. In the end we WIN!!!!!!!!!!.

This is absolutely awesome.
[Android General] 7amdii:
jelly bean is going to kill IOS !
[Android General] kancherlapraneeth:
I don't like google releasing a new version of O/S with less than one year gap. It's just my opinion though.
[Android General] lowandbehold:
This statement makes no sense whatsoever. Continue developing ICS before starting jellybean? Do you even understand what a software version is? ICS is Android. Jellybean will still be android. As Android gets updated, and enough changes get made to the software, that is when they decide to change a name. So in all actuality, jellybean is ICS that has been developed further.......
[Android General] Akzey:
Umm.. Haven't even got ICS yet and rumors about 5.0 ? Duh! this makes me jealous and frustrate!
[Android General] reeseman04:
Google seems to be restless. Remember when Honeycomb was released, they announced ICS at the same time! We are developing with 3.1 in mind and can't even think of exclusively using newer features to Android 4.x because of the major lag in new devices.

This isn't good for developers, it just gives us more headaches to control the fragments.

[Android General] monkeypaws:
I agree that it would be too soon to relewse a new is just recently after ice came out and with only 1% of phones using ice right now. They should prioritize updating tlthe rest of the phones to ice and ironing out and building that os to recognition instead of rolling out something new. It would totally make ice purposeless in my eyes and a waste. I know technology is ever expanding but seems its expanding too quick to anyone to enjoy it long enough to stick to one thing.
[Android General] Dark69Slayer:
From what I heard its for tablets right ? So basically this is like honeycomb something meant for the tablet community . If its for mobiles then this is a very bad thing ,I mean seriously how many devices come with ICS now ? 5 ?:mad:
[Android General] bline007:
Its going to be for phones and tabs its going to be an overlay capable device for PC s which in my opinion pretty cool. Especially if u like Linux already. And were r not talking about a release for at least 6 months. Everything is just hear say for now

[Android General] tazbo28:
My whole thing about it is this, how do you explain to people who are still on Froyo, this is something new and great and you should use it! Their devices are supported by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer (like 3 main ones) dont keep up with the upgrade schedule with all their onslaught of devices, then whats the point?

I feel as though Android is being developed so rapidly that it seems as though they dont even care about what devices are out, or which ones "matter" to the market more. Its all about development for them. (which isnt necessarily bad) And for manufacturers, its all about flood flood flood the market with every new spec technology they can in order to not accidentally fall behind Apple. This is the honest to goodness truth i fear!!

Companies are trying their absolute best to make certain that they dont get caught by surprise with some Apple super device---so they keep putting out a new device the instant they make a little headway in specs. They are too afraid of letting the market settle for longer than 3 months!! For fear that Apple will announce a launch all of the sudden and bring out a 1080p hex core smartphone with 20 gb of ram and 128 gb of hard disk. lol! Its really starting to piss me off. Its starting to become a childish game of "oh we did/have that already, its not new."

These companies really have to let the market catch its breath. I mean here in the U.S. people are still trying to fight their way out of this recession, and yet Samsung and Android expect me to buy a Galaxy Nexus since its the ONLY device with ICS! Indirectly though it may be, its still frusterating as hell. I say 1 year, minimum. Dont tell people about it in the news, dont leak anything, and dont throw it on devices unless it really makes a big difference-or after one year! I mean, google will always have their ad revenue to sit on. So I really dont understand the rush to release. ---rant complete---
