[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phil_O'Sophical:
Missing buttons...

<delurk>

Had the Note for seven months now, and experience has been mostly as positive as you'd expect from a device that's a few years more modern (verses my old faithful n900). Only real downer I have is the speed it takes the camera to fire up, mainly because of the lack of a hardware button.

(I know there's progs like Pro Capture, I mean using the out-of-the-box software).

Another thing no-one seems to have commented on thus far is how they compare as GPSs: I feel the Note's the winner with the screen size and daylight visibility, versus possibly the n900 better when there's no signal. By the way, a good reason to use the Samsung own-brand flip cover (which replaces the Note's back) is that it fits onto screen mounts, as opposed to a gel cover I first had - which made it impossible to get a good grip on the phone ... the Note makes a dive for the car floor on encountering the first speed bump unless it's held properly.

</delurk>
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dazzakoh:
I came indirectly from the N900.

No I do not miss the hardware keyboard - I was always a stylus/Graffiti guy, coming as I did from the TH55.

What I do miss is the real multi-tasking the N900 was capable of, rather than what Android provides....

But, gotta move on. N900 is my backup phone when I travel...

Do u have to send yours to them once u receive it
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
I don't think so
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
I never had to, they just tell you to recycle it basically.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
So u mean...I can have the white one, and the black one ??? :X
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sanadrate:
yes thats correct.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sanadrate:

[HTC Amaze 4G] Xcor3:
Already got mine. Lol. I'm not gonna lie, we abused this back in the Sensation.

P.S

You get 1 replacement per accessory.

Did this today as well after I noticed mine had a stain or something on the beautiful white...
[HTC Amaze 4G] kt006:
Can you just request any cover or do you need to tell them there's something wrong with it? Mine's a little dinged especially around the camera.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hawkee:
I called on Monday and got my battery cover on Thursday. She was very helpful and even gave me the white one knowing I already had the black one. She said, "sure, add a little color right!" Their service is quite good. I'll hold off on the charger cable and battery for a few months.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
Hmm going to try and call today, I have white back cover but I want black also,:D do I call T-Mobile or HTC
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
do they ask for the battery cover part number? reason i ask is because i have my phone in a trident case and its a b@tch to put back on, so if i dont have to take off my case, im not going to
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hawkee:
They just need your imei number which you can get under settings > about phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skyracer53:
sweet thanks for letting us know! i just called in to replace my back cover cause the volume rockers were getting damaged. should have a new one in the mail within next few days. the customer service was great as well, very surprised lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sanadrate:
yes waiting for mine
[HTC Amaze 4G] superevilllama:
I got shipped the white one when I confirmed my phone came with the black one. They reshipped a black cover and I can still keep the first white one they sent. Now I have 3 all together. Yay
[HTC Amaze 4G] Y2Ne1:
ok i got my amaze on ebay how can i go about getting a back cover ? my power button has recently broke i still can use it when pushed extra hard but like to have a new one FREE :D thanks in advance
[HTC Amaze 4G] Xcor3:
I'm sure it still has warranty on it. May not be from your carrier but HTC covers it. So go ahead and call htc. Tell them your power button is not working properly or the case is making a creaking noise

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I got the one I ordered couple days ago, funny that she checked my serial, it checked out as white, I asked her to send me the black, she said she couldn't, she checked if she could twice, said she still can't, talked to her a bit more, guess I said something right because she confirmed with me that she'd be sending the white, opened up my mail, I got the black instead. :D

[HTC Amaze 4G] jvx333:
Thank you very much guys!! just got off the phone with HTC and they are sending me a white one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
they sent a white one... i wanted a black one
[HTC Amaze 4G] mahgninnuc93:
I talked to support today. They escalated it because I refused to give my credit card info to get replacement parts. I was very polite and stated my case.

They are sending me not only a new back cover but are also sending me a replacement battery. At no charge to me and no return necessary.

Just state your case, be polite and if you don't get the answer you want ask to be directed to a supervisor.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ThaPirato:
SWEET! I read this post 2 days ago and decided to give it a try. I called, said my power button was acting up so the rep asked what color my phone was i said white(even though it is black ;) they shipped one out and i received it today. I opened the package and saw a black back cover so i called them again, they apologized and are shipping a white one out to me and the rep said I'm sorry for the mistake you can keep the other one we sent because you never know if you'll need it :~)

I LOVE HTC!! lol

Also thank you very much for this post, now I'll have 3 OEM back covers ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] theematt:
Does this only work outside of Canada?

The only phone numbers I can find on there web site are all directed to the service provider
[HTC Amaze 4G] superevilllama:
I was also supposed to get a black one and got a white one. I called them, they sent out another replacement, which ended up also being white. I called them again, they are sending a third replacement. If its still white, I will call them again. They said to keep the other two covers as well.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I hope this ones a black one, told em it wasn't working rite

What did you tell them to get a new battery?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mahgninnuc93:
I told them the truth lol. My battery kept losing the charge in a weird way. I would fully charge, use the.phone for 10 minutes and it would shut down and then show battery at 14%.

Then it would keep restarting until I plugged it in.

Almost 24 hours on the new battery and no shut downs.

Remember the thank you button works if I helped!

Question about the Amaze's battery cover

Hello,

Just got my Amaze. I'm wondering if it's normal for the battery cover to be bumpy (showing the outline of its interiors/back) and not smooth & solid like a displayed dummy unit?

Also, what did you guys tell them to get a battery cover replacement?

What number(s) did you call?

Is this battery cover replacement valid in Canada as well?

I know some of you guys have already answered these questions, but just wondering if there are other different answers.

BTW, I see that on HTC website, they have the same hotline phone number (866-449-8358) for both Canada & the USA.
[HTC Amaze 4G] the show stopper:
yes u can as long as you are under warranty.
[HTC Amaze 4G] cast2brian:
How do you know if your under warranty?
[HTC Amaze 4G] nelly_85:
So I'm in Canada and called the number.....call center is located in st john New brunswick. Anyways back cover is being sent out. Been having issues with the WiFi lately....as for the battery they need a cc because the battery is considered an advanced warranty swap and the back cover is fulfillment based. So on that note if you need a new battery and you're in Canada just go through your provider.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mahgninnuc93:
Actually Nelly, they do not require the CC. I got my battery and a cover without giving a cc number. Just politely tell them you do not have a credit card OR that you dont see the logic behind using a cc when its a defective item that you are going to throw away anyways. If that doesnt work ask to speak to a supervisor and they will escalate it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] edyts:
I just called the number and he said, here in Canada i have to go through my carrier, i tried to reason with him but he said he couldnt do anything wtf did i do wrong.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nelly_85:
Dunno what you did but I told home that I some with telus which was the truth and explained to him about all the times I've ordered a battery and such and the order never comes.....he sent me the confirmation info as well.....dunno what you did with the battery......I told him I didn't have one and well he still said it doesn't work without it I dunno. I'm just happy to get the back cover. Telus has told me before that the cover wasn't covered by the warranty , glad I called.
[HTC Amaze 4G] edyts:
Went to my carrier, they said i had to go through htc lol, figured that would happen, called htc again and now my cover is being shipped, yay! Just had to jump through the hoops i guess.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nelly_85:
There ya go glad your happy now thank the op
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
:D why not
[HTC Amaze 4G] nelly_85:
Back ordered. Just my luck...hey unrelated matter but do you guys experience a lag in the phone connecting to your wireless provider? I do and it takes 4-5 mins.....
[HTC Amaze 4G] b33j7030:
lol ok i don't understand the logic of having a black or white back cover... is there specific differences aside from colors???.. i just got my device a week ago (black) and bought a TPU Black S Line rubber case for it. Never dropped the phone once.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Lunaillij:
I called HTC today and told them about the signal issues and quick battery drain I was having and they are sending me a replacement battery cover and battery.

mahgninnuc93, did they tell you that you have to return the old battery? That's what they told me. And that if i didn't return the old battery after 15 days of receiving the new one, they would charge me. I didn't give them my cc info during this call. But I don't remember if they do have my cc on file from when I sent my phone in for warranty repair a few months ago.

[HTC Amaze 4G] mahgninnuc93:
I didnt have to return anything nor did I give them a credit card to keep on file.

Ya gotta pet them like small kittens and stroke their ego a bit and they will do just about anything for you :-)

And yes they probably kept your cc info on file. Which in most places is illegal after the initial transaction has ocurred unless you expressly give consent to keep it on file. Like at the local pub.
[HTC Amaze 4G] htcamazeuser:
help :D

My phone is still under warranty and I was wondering if I can call HTC and get a new HTC battery (even though nothing is wrong with it but dies fast) and a battery cover replacement. And what if later on when I still has warranty can I still call them and get another 1??
[HTC Amaze 4G] leaky0320:
Didn't Work For Me

I called today and talked to a representative. I told Jake that I had just gotten a replacement (which I just received from T-Mobile a few days ago) and the Wi-Fi signal issue that I had with the first phone had carried over to this new phone and I think the back cover is the reason. First off, they wanted me to send back my old one after I got my new one and pay for the postage. They also could not give me a white cover, only the black because it has to be "by part number" The biggest kick was when I told the guy that I'm only 17. He proceeded to give me my ticket number and then told me to call back later with a parent/guardian. Lame!
[HTC Amaze 4G] the show stopper:
i think you talked to some jack a** rep. usually their reps are nice. call again (or let ur parents call em). you don't have to pay for anything. they will send it to you for free and don't require you to send it back to them. they have to pay for shipping if they require you to send replaced device back since you are under warranty(i guess you are). i am getting my new white cover in few days because it was shipped today. try calling this number.

So i just got off the phone with htc, and they are sending me a new cover... i have the black and they are sending me a white one per request - no problem, BUT they want me to send back my old cover AND pay for shipping... think im gonna have to call back and ask why they aren't making others pay for shipping but are making me hmmm
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
So just a heads up.. just got a reply to the email i sent htc. i was told that there has been a new policy change, and that for a replacement back cover you must send back the defective one, and pay for the shipping to send it back, not for the shipping for the one they send you. this is because of a sudden 300% increase in calls for new back covers. lol, i wonder how that happened :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] b33j7030:
300% increase in calls!?!? LMFAO!!!! way to make it obvious........ fock.. i was thinking about calling in too lmfao...
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
lol i know crazy right! you can still call, as long as you dont mind parting with your old cover. shipping isnt much to send the old one back, you can just send it through regular usps with regular postage probably around $1 - 1.50

no. 1 free warranty replacement, per accessory
[HTC Amaze 4G] b33j7030:
So wait, i have a black one so most likely they'll send me the same color should i decide to call and make a request?.. i have yet to see a white back cover in person (not like it'll bring a WOW factor or anything) but i wouldn't mind having both colors lol.

So it looks like they are only doing it 2 ways now....

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hedzin:
I ported the firmware CM7.2 (from u8150) for the u8350 and noticed a strange connection between keylayout file and screen auto-rotate.

By default when system boot, the screen is stay in the standart for this device - the landscape mode, then after system complete boot and appeared "lock screen" device screen automatic changes to portrait mode and stays there forever(broken).

BUT, I accidentally discovered that if in the file "qwerty. Kl" remove or comment out the line "key 16 Q", then the auto-rotate works correctly from the start, but respectively stop work "q" key on device keyboard.

Please help me to understand the causes of this.:confused:

[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
I can only barely understand what the guy above me said, but:

The main issue is the bootloaders, the V and VP obviously use different ones.

They're only designed to load their respective OS's, and Android/WP7 are too different to simply boot without mods.

Just as much for whoever is seriously attempting to document this, you'd likely need to document and use it's JTAG points too, as breaking the bootloader is usually a very bad thing ;)

As far as flashing an actual new bootloader, the V can do it though android recovery and possibly though fastboot.

The VP would have it's zune composite mode(?) and zune tools?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tasvir:
Hello all,

I have been in the market for a Samsung galaxy note for a while now. I wanted to get the unlocked version of the phone since I am with T-Mobile. Now as I researched a little more about the phone I came to know there are two different versions which are N-7000 and i-717. Also as i came to find out the N-7000 version does not support T-mobile 4g. Most of my other research also came up with a result that everyone recommend N-7000 version over i-717 because of the processor. I personally like the N-7000 because of the center home button.

I came up with this thread where it flash's the radio of the note and I was being told by one of my friend that this will allow you to be able to use it with t-mobile 4g.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1518962

As it says its only for att galaxy note so I am assuming this will not work with the international version of the note or the N-7000 version.

My job requires me to stay on the road most of the time and its really important I have high speed internet on the phone. I am from fort lauderdale, florida.

So my question is-

1. Which version of the phone should I buy?

2. The link posted above will this work with N-7000?

3. Is there any way to work the N-7000 with T-mobile 4g by flashing the radio or anything else?

4. If yes, can any of you please post a step by step instruction on how to make it work. If possible please be elaborate with your steps as I am super dumb when it comes to do hacking and all that. :D

5. Will the new N-7000 comes with ICS? Does that require any special thing to be done with the phone in order to work with the T-mobile 4g?

I really appreciate all your help in advance. I would be really honored if you guys can respond back as soon as possible.

Thanks

TASVIR
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowpad:
if your job requires fast internet, you should conclude your research and get the i717. The international note won't fit your life style. At this time, it will NOT support tmobile 4g.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tasvir:
Thanks.

But the i717 requires the flashing of the radio and unlocking as well to work with t-mobile 4g? Just like my link on the post mentioned?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowpad:
you can unlock i717 by buying code online for $25 and about 10mins of time researching and flashing it. It's really easy. I've had i717 for tmobile myself and found out that i dont' need all the time internet. sold it...and got the n7000 :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tasvir:
So you had i-717 and then you sold it and got the n7000. If you dont mind me asking what made you switch? Is the phone is not worth all this? I am assuming now you are using the n7000 for tmobile's 3g? Hows the speed on that? if the speed is okay would you recommend n7000 over i717 based on the processors of the phones? does your n7000 required any rooting work with tmobile and its internet?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] km2783:
Have you looked around to see if T-Mobile is or will be offering 1900MHz HSDPA+ in your area? The N7000 supports 1900MHz on it's '3G' radio.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tasvir:
I just checked yes they do have 1900MHz in flortlauderdale. FL

Does this means the galaxy note N-7000 will work with t-mobile 3g as soon as I put the sim in the phone?

also

samsung-sgh-i717r-galaxy-note-lte-rogers-wireless from canada and at expansys they are selling it unlocked for 489$

Is this the same as the att galaxy note? with the root will it work with t mobile and its 4g network? I only ask cause this is cheaper than the att version of the note and it is Gnote SGH-i717R instead of Gnote SFH-i717.

This phone is driving me crazier than my ex-girlfriend. :eek:
