I've wiped data and done a factory reset for many times, still not working:crying:

Y can't u flash via odin<<I think maybe because the internal storage is 0.0kb therefore there's nothing to flash?? (or maybe I have to learn more about odin)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arjav23:
U can obviously flash via odin in any case

Try it

And immediately wipe data and factory reset when phone boots into recovery the very first time

The 'friend' mentioned in this post is actually me (I sign up in XDA right after he post the problem for me)

by the way, here is how I flash with odin, trying to solve my problem, is there any mistakes?:

1. Put in altas 2.2 in the PIT section

2. Put in the .tar I want to flash in the PDA section

3. Press start

The phone didn't get into recovery, it just rebooted normally

Hi to all,

I am looking for a dual sim adapter for my galaxy note. I tried searching over the net and found something called magic sim which is claimed to work in galaxy s2 but there are mixed reviews about it. Some say that it works fine but some say that it has problems. I need your opinions and especially those who have come across dual sim adapters for galaxynote. Cheers to all.....;)

Very neat and complete review....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] thor2001:
I'm using a Magicsim (cut), too.

It's the second one, cos the first one died after four month.

The embossed contacts became flat -> "No SIM-Warning in Android".

So it's a really good idea to get it from a good seller.

Another thing is, that the SIM-holder in the Note is not ideal placed.

Had problems getting the whole Magicsim (with cutted cards and coverplate) in the holder.

I've also put the coverplate shifted 180° on top of the Magicsim,

because it seems risky to me otherwise (like shown inside the manual).

The coverplate could be stuck in the SIM-holder while retrieving the Magicsim out of the Note.

For proper switching between two cards, you've to enter the flight mode,

otherwise you wouldn't be able to send any sms.

Disabling the "Google-Services-Framework" when "Accounts changed" in Autostarts is a good idea, too.

Worked fine under GB2.3.6 but under ICS4.0.3 I always gets an "SIM-Dienste" dialog...

I have been using magicsim from past couple of days and this thing really works the way as described on their Web site. I ordered mine directly from their site and it was delivered to me in around a week's time. I am using the cut version for my note. Sim cards were easy to cut and fix inside the plate but inserting and taking out the magicsim repeatedly might cause damage to either the phone or the magicsim itself. I Have installed an application named dualdial from play store which is one touch operation for switching between the Sims.

What do you Guys think about Gmate?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] jaypels:
And I was about to post a link regarding Gmate :fingers-crossed:

I got mine a couple of days ago and so far, it performs well. SMS are in threaded view and accessing them is quick. The device uses the phone's contacts so you won't have to import them. I clip the device to my belt so it will always communicate with my phone but if incase you do not want to, just make sure they are within 10 meters of each other for them to pair.

SMS, no problem. The only hiccup is with the call quality. For me, the volume is slightly lower. And at times, though very rare, you may find interference with other devices which may create static/noise during calls.

The battery lasts for 2.5 days but if you are calling frequently, it may last 1.5 to 2 days (no guarantee coming from me :p )

All in all, it is a highly recommended device. Gmate+ replaced my workhorse Nokia e63 (my ever loyal and sturdy phone - you shall be missed :crying:).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matchay:
Hi,

I am totally upset after two days of trying to bring my GPS back to my Desire. I flashed the latest MIUI XJ (2.3.30, D2EXT) and cannot use my GPS eversince (GPS status never finds any satelite and the GPS indicator blinks forever - I mean after 20 minutes I lost my patience...). I tried various Radios/RILs, followed various threads from XDA-forum, updated gps.conf with correct settings etc., all to no avail. My Desire is one of the oldest models I guess - AMOLED, Bravo PVT1 - but I am not sure if it's relevant.

Can anyone give me a hint, what I could do more, or tell me their working Radio/RIL combination for MIUI XJ?

there might be a workaround. i am not sure if it is similar to the htc amaze problem. but with the htc amaze, the issue appeared to be the new apn. changing it back to the old apn allowed free hotspot again on the amaze.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] missparker76:
I am looking for a successor to my Desire Z and as manufacturers do not release any new devices with a hard keyboard I am trying to find a solution to have a hard keyboard. I'd like to have an SGS 3 with keyboard. I had found this keyboard case for the Galaxy Note at Brando http:// shop.brando.com/samsung-galaxy-note-reclosable-fastener-case-with-bluetooth-keyboard_p7254c299d57.html. I have asked if they planned to release the same kind for the SGS 3 but it's not in their plans for the moment.

Are you aware of similar products or do you have any idea on how I could build my own slide-out keyboard on the phone or attached to an appropriate case ?

For the 2nd solution I would need to find a closing cover with right dimensions (needs to allow to be closed while phone and device are both inside; the case should be not too loose, I mean if I'm typing from the keyboard not laying on a desk I should be able to have a right angle to view the screen and the phone should stay firmly in place....) and I could attach the keyboard with a scratch.

Thanks for your advices.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] megaspel:
I'm in the exact same boat. I want a higher spec phone, but I can't bare to leave my physical keyboard behind. It's just so much better than swype or whatever.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LowSky:
I had a friend who insisted on a a full keyboard coming from Blackberrys, back when he had a Motorola Droid. He upgraded to a Galaxy Nexus recently and has told me he couldn't believe why he was such a stickler for a keyboard. honestly I haven't found my typing to be any worse.

You really are going to be left behind if you expect high end hardware to have physical keyboards. The whole platform is moving away from physical buttons, best learn to adapt now, many people have wondered why Samsung gave the S3 a physical home button since the GNex went without.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] macdroid01:
I love the home button, so glad S III has it. Love the tactile FEEL of it. Wish it had camera button too.

I have a Droid. I love its keyboard. I'd buy a keyboard case (like OP posted for Note above) if someone made it for S III.

Although the screen is big it makes on screen keys ok but I would still buy a keyboard case for S III. If someone makes one. There is a thread on this at AndroidCentral IIRC as well...will find a link later if I remember..

You could get an inexpensive micro bluetooth keyboard and keep it on hand, or get someone on etsy to make a case that both your phone and the keyboard would fit into. http://www.amazon.com/s/?field-keywords=micro+bluetooth+keyboard I've got that keyboard and just keep it in my bag.

Requested 1 myself. I've always missed the keyboard that my G1 had. Since the GS3 is fairly large, wonder if a track pad could be added onto the far right of the keyboard. I miss a trackpad/roller ball to move the cursor around for editing or whatnot.

Could you explain this part in other words i dont get it. Not your fault my english is not so advances
[Galaxy S III Accessories] theking_13:
He means even thought the S3 is actually pretty cheaply made (goddamn **** plastic like always), it sells like cocaine to a homeless drug addict. Even though Motorola, and HTC make far superior handsets build wise (trust me, I had the One X, best phone I've owned by far), they can't compete with Samsung.

Nowadays, thinner and lighter is better, and therefore buying a big, bulky keyboard case is silly if you think about it for such a thin and light device.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] marcucci217:
This. Saved me some time explaining. Thanks, my friend. Love the metaphor :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] grubbslubbs:
A co-worker of mine has the Keyboard Buddy for his iPhone 4, and it's actually pretty nice. He said it takes a little getting used to, but once you have it, you can't go without it. The physical keyboard makes typing way easier, and if you're used to sending all emails/messages directly from your phone (i.e. crackberry users), then this is a must have if you have an iPhone 4.

Sorry, I got off on a little tangent talking about the keyboard case for iPhone 4, but I was just trying to illustrate how useful a keyboard case could be for the S3. So maybe for the casual everyday user, it's not as crucial. But if you're a more heavy duty/business type user, a decent keyboard case could make all the difference.

Also just my $0.02 =)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] macdroid01:
yes most people won't want one, sure. Some people DO want a real keyboard and are willing and ready to pay. I'd pay GOOD money for one. I hope this Buddy Case company makes one. Since S III is such a hugely popular phone. I think they'd for sure make a profit if they were to make Buddy Case for S III. Again...people looking to buy this have tried touchscreen keyboards and already decided they'd prefer a keyboard case. It's settled. We are not changing our mind. I have SwiftKey. Yes it's ok. But I'd prefer a good keyboard case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hobbiteer:
Yay more "learn to do without" and "evolve" posts about physical keyboards.

As for the "thinner" excuse, the Nokia E7 was right in the ballpark at 13.6mm (say compared to the HTC EVO at it's 13mm, or the iPhone 3GS at 12.3mm but 4.3mm thicker than the iPhone4) too bad it just had a 600MHz CPU and Symbian.

I just had to chime in. We all know that those who prefer form over function (thinner vs keyboard) are the majority, but that doesn't mean we all like hearing those of us who prefer a physical keyboard are relics and need to "adapt/evolve" with the times or "deal with it."
[Galaxy S III Accessories] theking_13:
Kinda does actually, companies cater to the masses. The masses being the "thinner, lighter, better" boat, while the "keyboard people" boat is way behind. Companies won't invest in something that won't sell well

If you guys really want a keyboard that bad, the S3 isn't for you. Its better to buy a phone with one already.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] dbpaddler:
That solid white solution is a bit fugly. Might as well get some stick on rhinestones for it and complete the look. They do make a dark one for it and they're $29 shipped from China. You can get them via AliExpress right here.

I'm trying to work with another vendor there to try and do one with a real keyboard and not the generic crap they took from the cheap iphone version and stuck it on this one. The S3 is huge in comparison and can easily fit a decent keyboard so I sent him a pic of the new LG Mach and said they could easily fit that keyboard on there, and if it worked well I'd place a nice bulk order. I think they Mach's layout is just near perfect. The Photon has a bunch of crap keys and some funky fn layouts as well as odd placement/size of some important keys.

The funny thing, all the aholes saying keyboards are the past...I didn't know evolution mean third party keyboards all trying to outdo one another on prediction and correction. Last I checked, we didn't need those things on a real keyboard. So lose screen real estate and tactile feedback along with accurate text input just to save some thickness. Last I also checked, my Note 2 is pretty frickin' big and probably bigger in my pocket than the S3 would be with this bluetooth case. Yet if I didn't need the keyboard (like out socially for the night or weekend), I could slide it off and go slim. And I'd gladly ditch the Note 2 and spen for a real keyboard and .7" of screen real estate that's always there.

I was just getting ready to post about this...

I have it in my hands, and it's very strange. I'll do a video review when I get my new camera, but it's a great case, but it weighs lighter than the phone which poses a problem... It's wayyy too light, and the back feels cheap. The keys are EXTREMELY responsive, (as it uses Bluetooth 3.0), but the keys are hard to press when you first buy this, and they ease up after use, but are loud...

I'm not for it or against it, but right now this is all the options we have, so either take it or leave it. They are planning on improving it.

I purchased it on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261141994426

Best part is that it ships from the US, so no waiting 20-30 days from China (we all know how that it ---- well, most of us anyways).
