[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jasmynsway:
If you've had the phone longer than 3 days cannot break the contact without paying the $250-350 fee it costs to do so.

If you've had it less than 3 days, you can break the contract without charge but you will still have to pay the balance of the phone (if you paid the reduced price of $300)

If you're not on contract, you can still use AT&T 4G service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a.2mjed.a:
Thanks guys for answering my questions

my phone is in contract with them, and one of my friends told me go break your contract and get like $100 from them cuz the phone without contract is about $700 and with contract is $800, so if I break the contract they will give me back $100!!

Is that right?

and for the warranty, the seller told me to buy a warranty but I told him I don't need it, and there were no warranty in the bx by Samsung! How can I get a warranty?

I guess thats all what i have ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Incorrect. It is 30 days to break the contract without the $325 termination fee. The 3 days you may be thinking about is to not get charged the activation/upgrade fee
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Att.com shows pricing as 299.99 on contract, 649.99 off contract.

I decided to by one off contract for 475 shipped on eBay. I'm not up for early renewal until July and couldn't wait. I didn't want to "waste" my upgrade on a near 6 month old phone by that time.

You will not make any money off ATT, so don't try.

Without contract means no service unless you have existing service.

Btw, can I walk into the att store and just request an LTE sim? My current sim is only H+ enabled
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sbddude:
Yes, and you can keep the unlimited plan if you have it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a.2mjed.a:
yesterday I canceled my contract and my phone (everything)

they gave me the phone and the screen protector price immediately to my depit card and they told me I'll recieve the deposit cost in my mail withen 4-6 weeks ! :/

Now I'm thinking between buying the same phone ($660 with 2 years warranty from SquareTradeus) or waiting for new phone!!

What do you think?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
As usual, its always a nightmare dealing with their customer service. It took nearly 45 minutes of the ATT store manager being on the phone with them...and they still couldn't change my account to LTE unlimited. They ended up hanging up and stating they would work on it and call me back...which was true.

But i truly wish i could blow up ATT customer service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
erick161, as much as I agree with you, you might want to redact that last statement. threats online are taken even more seriously than in person from my experience.

OP, I think what you friend was trying to tell you is that you buy the phone on contract, you cancel the service and pay the termination fee and the cost of the phone and ETF was less than buying the phone at full price. Which was true in the beginning, but now the phone is cheaper and not really going to save/make you money.

If you already have AT&T then I'd say get the phone on contract or not. for the first time in almost 10 years I'm locked into a contract again, not too worried about it because i haven't left AT&T yet and don't plan to. if you aren't an AT&T customer, there's a company that resells AT&T network service for $45 a month unlimited everything, just no 4G or LTE. You could buy the phone and jump on that service.

Lastly if you didn't buy the phone for the size, the HTC One is coming out in the next few months, you might want to check that out, though if I recall for AT&T they're getting rid of the quad core because it isn't compatible with LTE, but that's what i recall and 100% ingrained in truth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] C0BRA01:
contract

You say the price with contract is $800. It's not, it's $300. So if you break contract, you will pay more for a phone, not less, but you can still get data if you are already with AT&T. Just go in, and add the phone to your line, and have them upgrade the sim. They charge like $36 for that now.

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

What model of Note is this? Sounds like one of the international ones to me. the AT&T one would not come with a HSPA+ only SIM I believe. If it is not an i717, then it probably has the Xenos(sp?) chipset, and not the Qualcomm one, and is NOT an LTE phone. Also, if it is an LTE phone, you may, or may not be in an area with LTE service.

may i know what's the difference this and feamod?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
It's working, but I'll keep Feamod 1.4 since there is no difference at all except the logo
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ilpianista:
Sure, from the FeaMod thread:

This one is the upstream vanilla clockworkmod: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery

I don't apply any patch.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ilpianista:
This is vanilla. If you install this _after_ the feamod recovery you'll notice no change because the FeaMod installs the GPU driver and a custom boot, and this recovery do not remove them.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
That list is a list of Kernel features, the recovery can't have those tweaks inside,

Feacore Phoenix = Kernel

Feamod = Recovery
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ilpianista:
Right, my fault. I misunderstood things.

The differences between this and the FeaMod recovery are these:

https://github.com/manveru0/FeaMod-Recovery/commits/gingerbread/

Every manveru0 commit (like replacing sd-ext by sdcard or changing some message) isn't included in the official one. Also, this one has some upstream change that aren't included in the FeaMod recovery because manveru0 left.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] crybert:
Hey, thank you for this. Finally someone is working again on the CWM recovery.

I just want to ask you something about a problem which I encountered during the development of my ROM Crybernation with AROMA-INSTALLER.

Its about the colors in CWM.

The colors on the screen seems to be right, but when I take a sreenshot in CWM with DDMS I get a red picture.

In AROMA there is a blue tint in CWM. But the screenshots have the correct colors. ( See attachments below)

So amarullz the developer of AROMA-INSTALLER said that there is something wrong with the framebuffer.

I'm not that familiar with this but perhaps you have an idea what could be wrong. So you think you can solve this problem?

Also could you delete the additional "No's", like manveru0 did it?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
Thank's Man Nice work :)

I didn't think you would do it so fast :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ilpianista:
I've no time right now to play with the framebuffer, but I'll let you know if I find something weird.

No, sorry but I wanna keep it vanilla ;)

For some reason this doesn't work with ROM Manager yet. I asked some CWM dev, and they said ROM Manager works only if the ClockworkMod is installed using it.

I'll try to play a bit with it.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] wintel_mac:
I suppose "newer" FeaMod backups can still be restored with this "older" version?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
It detects my internal sdcard as the external and vice versa
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ilpianista:
Looking at the CWM code, the /emmc is called "the internal card".

I googled a bit, and the behavior is right.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
I've seen some of us have unexpected sdcard remove error. Personally, I never experienced with this kind of error after upgrade my firmware to the newest one. if you're in older firmware or have same problem you may try this method.

first of all, turn of your device and pull out the sdcard. try to reformat your sdcard using a PC to fat32 in the usual way (untick the quick format option) with sdcard reader. it will take longer than the quick one, but this method will make sure your sd formatted properly. most of people solve the sdcard error in these way. if this method didn't work please follow these method.

please make sure your device is rooted and you've installed root explorer.

1. open root explorer.

2. open /sys/device/virtual/bdi/179:0/

3. long press 'read_ahead_kb' open with>text editor.

4. change the value to 1024.

5. save and exit.

6. set the permission to r--r--r--

7. exit from root explorer

8. restart.

I got this method from another forum. no need to press thanks. all credits to @bangbaom in kaskus.us

EDIT: there's also some known bug in some kernel that causing the error. installing a new kernel could resolve it.

you may extract the kernel from the newest stock rom, then copy the boot.img file into your root sdcard. after that, flash these script via CWM to install the kernel.

Never try but i think the number back to default 128 after reboot with stock kernel.

Bug on dxkj3 kernel and use app speedsdcard or romtoolbox can solve that problem.

But for mid-advance user of course prefer with script in init.d
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
the number back to 128 since it is the default value in the kernel. we can make script in init.d to make it permanent. I've also found that we can use higher value (the higest I've ever seen 8192) if we use slow sdcard.
[HTC One X] darrenjdoc:
I am considering switching from the SGS2 to the X. The sound quality while listening to MP3's on the S2 was average at best even with tampering with all the settings etc.

What is the quality of the sound like on the X ? Anyone know what DAC is inside ? I have a set of Shure E535's and want to make best use of them. If the quality is the same as the SGS2 i think i will use the bit i have saved and buy a Cowan Z2 and keep the SGS2.

Thanks for any advice :)
[HTC One X] finduz:
I'm interested in this myself. I've already ordered the phone though, as I need a new one.

I'm hoping I finally can put away my mp3-player, but I guess it will still be some years until a phone reach Cowon sound quality. :--/
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
The original Samsung Galaxy S and any other device with a Wolfson DAC came close, with Supercurios Voodoo app. Best sound on a mobile device! But SamsUng dropped the Wolfson for a Yahama DAC on the SGS2! Wonder what DAC the HOX has!
[HTC One X] brent8577:
i'm no mod, but i already made a thread about this.

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

i don't think a phone is ever going to include good audio. the amount of people that actually use expensive headphones and lossless files are too small for the companies to care. i sold my Cowon D3 because they messed up trying to use Android 2.2 with insufficient hardware. i'm looking at the S9, J3, or X7 now. i'll use the beats audio eq bs until i have the spare 250-280.
[HTC One X] sushigeezer:
My good ol' Sony Ericsson w950 had a fantastic sound quality!
[HTC One X] elfary:
As a user of an iPhone with high end multidriver in ear monitors (Westone UM3x and Shure SE420) sound quality ranks very high in my list.

Thus i would appreciate if some owner of multidriver iems could chime in with an opinion on the headphone out sound quality. With all effects turned off. If the audio hardware is any good (low output impedance, low distorsion and low crosstalk) the sound should be very good (Just as it is off the iPhone headphone out) and no need of audio tweaking would be necessary.
[HTC One X] qpop:
On every iPhone/iPod I've tried since their inception the DAC hasn't been the talking point, and flaked out when the eq is modified, even with a decent pair (sennys/shures) of 'phones.

I think buying a phone to replace a (good/non-ipod) portable player is a bad idea.

It's also entirely subjective; you could have a Cowon S9 and top-end in-ear sound-cancelling headphones, but if you're listening to 192kbps CBR mp3s you may as well be using your phone and a pair of £20 Porta-Pros - in most situations the source is the bottleneck, then the headphones, then the DAC. (IMO, of course)
[HTC One X] elfary:
I just asked for an opinion from a high end iem user about the HTC One X headphone out. Honestly I don't need your view on portable audio. But thanks for enlightening me.

Parameters like the impedance output impedance are nothing but subjective. iPhones output impedance is lower than 2 so they will always get a linear signal to your multidriver iem where a high z source like the galaxy S2 will get a pretty skewed signal that will ruin the frequency response of the iems.

Sound and electricty are sciences even if some people find it hard to believe and prefer esoteric approaches to the matter (That's specially true amongst Cowon fans ;)
[HTC One X] Daemos:
There is way more to those 3 factors for sound quality, plenty of things have those but don't sound good.

Anyways for most multidriver IEMs to make the most out of the IEM you will want some sort of amperage, even my Cowon C2 isn't powerful enough to make some IEMs shine (power doesn't always need to equal volume, but power to drive with authority)

My Soundaudio Rocco-P however, at the same volume, blows the Cowon out of the water, and there was a time you could of gotten it only for $1 + shipping on head-fi :)

But the SGS > SGS2 that is IMO but neither hold a candle to the C2 or the Rocco.

To the OP the cowon is a fine DAC but if you just need music playback (and if you need FLAC) there might be better options in your budget :)

I'm still looking for portable setup that doesn't involve carrying a brick around that will power my modded Fostex T50RP

---------- Post added at 03:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 AM ----------

First of all, many ipods and the iphones sound great, their EQ sucks but their SQ is quite good, really good if you pass the headphone out, and use the line out into an amp via a LOD.

They are not the end all of players though.

Porta pros are amazing IMO, they are one of my fav headphones under $100 :)
[HTC One X] thermalboyz:
Any update on DAC? Audio Quality?
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Personally waiting for GSM Arena to do their audio test. Below from The Verge's review:

AUDIO

Audio quality on the One X is superb across the board. The earpiece offers clear, loud calls, and the rear-mounted loudspeaker does as well — for whatever reason, HTC's managed to make this placement of the loudspeaker work far better than Samsung did with the Galaxy Nexus, which produces exceptionally quiet, easy-to-muffle sound. Callers reported that I was easy to hear even in significant background noise and wind, a good sign that this phone's dual-mic noise canceling system is really well tuned.

The 3.5mm headphone jack outputs clean, noise-free music — clean enough that I was easily able to pick out the depressingly low bitrate of Rdio's tracks. Of course, the One X carries the Beats Audio branding, as most HTC devices are now expected to (HTC owns 51 percent of Beats, after all). I find it ironic that the One series' tagline is "Amazing Camera, Authentic Sound" when Beats' audio processing is anything but authentic — in fact, if anything, it intentionally diverges from the artist's intentions. Every time I hear music with Beats enabled, it just sounds like bass boost to me, which is a trick we've seen in various forms in portable audio products for at least 30 years.

I'm not saying some users don't appreciate Beats — it definitely makes music more "exciting" sounding — but if you're looking for "authentic" music reproduction, Beats definitely isn't the answer. Personally, I'll be leaving it turned off. And fortunately, it's easily toggled either from Settings or from the notification tray while music is playing. It should also be noted that Sense 4.0 (and Sense 3.6 as found on HTC's Android 4.0 upgrades for older devices) makes Beats processing compatible with any audio app, which is a big improvement; previously, it only worked with HTC's baked-in apps.
[HTC One X] darrenjdoc:
Now that a few people are receiving their One X's can anyone answer my question please

Yeah its just music playback i want if i have to get another device. What do you think of the Cowon J3 ??
[HTC One X] darrenjdoc:
I agree nikzDHD about waiting for the GSM Arena review. I read the Verge review earlier and it sounds good though i would prefer a more detailed review on the subject.
[HTC One X] Daemos:
Honestly, I wouldn't trust the verge's gsmarena's or most other techsite's for their "audio quality" reviews.

just FYI. having fancy bar charts, graphs etc isn't the end all, having someone be able to compare it to another device, with tons of experience, using high end audio gear is MUCH more important.

Unfortunately phones usually don't get tested in audiophile type things and you are better at looking at audiophile forums and seeing if experienced members have used them.

I'm just saying for SQ, cowon isn't the best there is, but their EQ system is one of the best, but EQ can't replace energy, soundstage, or detail reproduction, all it does is emphasize certain regions of the sound changing the "sound signature" like I said my RoCoo P is superior to the Cowon but is far cheaper, but the UI sucks, and it's missing features, but I use it almost every day when I need to walk somewhere.

I suggest reading here: http://www.head-fi.org/f/15/portable-source-gear then after reading through there potentially asking your question there, but please do list your headphones, source type, type of music, and if you *need* eq or not.

It all depends on your budget and how large of a device you want to carry. I can recommend things like the ibasso DX100 or hifiman HM-801 which are basically almost as good as you can get in a portable audio player, but they cost more than a new phone, and they are very bulky.
[HTC One X] pham87:
um.. no disrespect/no intended banter to the above poster

but we simply just want to find out if the audio quality is sufficient for use of mp3s

in comparison to say the S2, which everyone knows has disappointing sound quality . Yes we all know the S1 had a good DAC etc, this thread is more so about the phones sound quality and not about how much of an audiophile we are etc.

I need to know as if it's good enough, I don't have to bring my Cowon J3 with me everyday to work as well : )
[HTC One X] twistedh:
I can't recommend the sansa clip enough. Cheap, good battery, flac support and even better with a portable amp! One of the best sounding players I've had.
[HTC One X] Daemos:
What is "sufficient"? What is "good enough"? It varies for different people.

If you want to know if it plays music, yes it'll play mp3s. If it's good enough to you or not, I can't say.

I can tell you this, in terms of SQ I'd rank what I've used as this SGS2 << SGS1 < rockboxed Sansa Clip/fuse (first gen) < Rockboxed earlier ipod < Cowon players < RoCoo P

This is of course FLAC, if we add mp3 playback I'd say the iphone/ipod touch fits in better than the SGS1 but can = sansa clip/fuse

These are also only what I'd consider portable DAPs.

The OP wanted to know if they should keep the SGS2 and get a J3 or get a one X instead and was focused on audio quality.

I just happened to say I think he could get better than the J3 for better SQ for the money. I'm just trying to help the OP.
