[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Crey23:
Well I bit the bullet..... I switched to VZW. Specs wise the sgs3 seems to be superior, but push come to shove, a $35 a month savings with unlimited voice and text and 4gb gigs once the new pricing plans kick in at the end of the month.

I will miss the huge screen and te s- pen. And I might regret it, but I had to do it from a logical perspective.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Ok, Im not a fanboy by any stretch of the imagination. BUT, Samsung hasnt created a crappy phone since prior to the Galaxy S line of phones - I cant speak to anything prior to that because I never owned a Samsung phone prior to the Captivate. They have proven that they are ready to play with the big boys, they are even taking on a certain fruit company in court.

Why WOULDNT the Galaxy S3 not live up to all the hype? All the tech enthusiasts love it, ask anyone who has it outside of the US, they all love it as well. I think its a fantastic device and other than a smaller screen, its an upgrade from the Note in EVERY aspect, including a much higher quality screen.

If I wasnt invested in the Note already (ie a contract & a $100 extended battery), Id be looking very seriously at the S3 because the Note is older tech. Honestly, Id be laughing at the Note's screen size (I did originally before I decided to just see if I could live with it) because hell, its big.

If Im GOING to buy a phone, Im going to get the latest tech because I know that living with a phone for two years is going to be painful during the last 6 months of the contract.

Although I dont see myself wanting to upgrade my phone after two years due to the limited things I actually USE my phone for (podcasts, audiobooks from Audible, driving directions and checking for app updates for the 15 or so apps I have installed), my Note is plenty adequate. Hell, I would still be using the Captivate if it hadnt died on me. It did everything the Note does for me (that I use it for that is) and it even had a MUCH better sound processor (the Note's sound processing is TERRIBLE).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pyro254750:
I'm still curious why people talk about the sgs3 like it's a pentium 4 to the notes pentium 2. The us note is a 1.5ghz dual core, the us sgs3 is a 1.5ghz dual core. The sgs3 has more ram, which means very little when appropriate customizations can create a silky smooth experience on either device. And to top it all off, with the right optimizations in the rom and kernel, a 1ghz tegra 2 is just as smooth as these 1.5 ghz chips. My atrix was buttery smooth on cm9, my note is buttery smooth on cm9, and I'm sure the sgs3 will be buttery smooth on cm9. In my opinion, it comes down to aesthetics and screen, because everything else is a variable if you plan to flash.

SGH-i717 mesosphere
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Crey23:
Yeah I hear ya.....I have seen multiple videos on the the SGS3 and it seems like an incredibly fluid device. I have to say the screen real state i will miss, but since I am returning my Note today, and will get the SGS3 in early July I am back on an Blackberry Pearl 8130...the screen size is about 1/4 of the Note's....maybe less LOL. So I think by the time i get the G3 it will seem like a huge screen!

I will miss the S-Pen....I did use it quite a bit. I stopped taking my notebook to meetings bcs all I needed was my note.

You are right in the sence that many phones just need to be optimized in order to get them smooth. I did that with my htc Vision/G2 once I rooted, swaped kernels, flashed a "few" ROM's including ICS and had it OC'd to nearly 2x it's rated processor speed. BUT, and you know a but was coming....

There is something to be said of the posibilities of a device being launched nearly simultaneously on all 5 major carriers in the US...no other device has ever done that (at least under the same name:p, and never in so close proximity of one from the other).

The other thing impressive about the G3 is the hardware, it's got 2GB of ram, and incredible camera, a very good processor (though not the latest), and note like beautiful screen. For me the camera alone draws my attention, and the fact that the spec are as close to bleeding edge as we can get in a production device, makes me pretty happy to know that I can pull of 2 years of no upgrades.

In fact, when I purchased the htc G2 on T-Mobile nearly 2 yrs ago, it was the only phone on 4G network, and it was the best phone out there for a while, and I found no reason to envy any other devices. I switched from it bcs I got tired of the poor data strength of T-mobile in my area, and the fact that sitting at my office, getting signal was a hit/miss situation, but the device itself it's still kicking....it's my toddler's mini tablet at the moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
Amazes me that people make statements like this without ever seeing, touching, or using a phone..:confused::confused::confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Ive seen it first hand (the international version). The screen is probably the biggest thing about the SG3, its a better quality screen than the Note.

Samsung has NAILED every phone. Would people be buying it otherwise? Look at the world wide sales, look at the tech reviews, there is hardly anything negative to say about it.

In fact, the only negative is that it doesnt have the latest processor, big whoop in my opinion. Oh, and maybe touchwiz, but touchwiz is decent now, nothing like the pile of poo it was on the Captivate.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noromamai:
Hi all,

I am contemplating on using the Galaxy Tab2 10.1 at a customer's site, but it would need to be connected to the charger at all times AND a USB barcode scanner.

Does anyone know if there is a way to charge the tablet while the USB host adapter is connected?

Or is it possible to hack the charging cable and add a USB host connector to it (not afraid to solder).

Or would it be more prudent to go for a bluetooth barcode scanner? I have no experience with bluetooth barcode scanners. If someone does here, do these work OK with disconnections/reconnection when the tablet screen turns off and on?

Thanks for any advice/info
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HB_Mosh:
It charges with the usb cable. The only problem is that it chqrges very slow.

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] websterzx10r1:
I tired to install windows 8 by way of usb flash drive method. I got as far as to which drive i wanted to install windows 8 on i have 2 hard drives 1 tb and a 1.5tb i formatted both drives thinking this program was gonna install then the install failed said something about being unable to install. I was pissed off then i had to reinstall windows 7 Ultimate all over again. My flash drives are 16GB and a 4Gb and the 16GB had the windows 8 software on it.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Nullstring:
That never worked for me. I always look for an easy way of doing things but it keeps failing so I end up doing the long way, but I think it's much safer and at least you know what's happening.

Man .. at least think of what happened first then try to do it all over again, try different flash drives, make a 2 copies and use the other one if the other one failed. Some files might be corrupted while you're on the process of transferring files from the ISO to flash drive.

Making a video is more frustrating than installing.

I'll try to use the old Win7/Vista method (format thumb drive to FAT, write to the boot sector using bootsect.exe then copying the installation files from the ISO) to install the RTM (still downloading it, will need at least 3 days to finish it).

BTW, I used Windows 7's native burner to create the installer DVD. Windows 7 can natively burn ISO's and retain the bootable info from the ISO.

OPEN CMD

1. diskpart

2. list disk

3. select disk x (où x est le numéro de votre clé USB)

4. clean

5. create partition primary

6. active

7. format fs=fat32 quick

8. assign

Put the file inside from CD or ISO.

Restart your PC and tape touch to run option boot, check your usb drive...

and install it...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Nullstring:
You know, the reason why I made the long way is because these commands didn't work for me. I tried it like several times (I am a very patient person). I tried those commands, I even tried the Windows 7 USB Download but none of them worked for me.

I felt great with the long way because of some reasons

1. Using UltraISO and with it's feature of copying boot files made me sure that my flash drive is properly formatted and bootable.

2. Using UltraISO also make sure the files being copied are safe because it doesn't copy the files in a normal way but in blocks

the reason it annoys me is because when taking picture or video indoors the florescent light blinks at 50 Hz and the camera is calibrated to 60 Hz causing weird moving lines in the picture.

is there any configuration file i can change so it will happen? or any firmware file i can replace?

hey people!

i just dont understand why the s3 comes out and our note still not ics 4.0.4 but 4.0.3

and why no body can set the no scrolling wall paper as in s3 and why it still got little lag with every rom not much but few times in aday we have little lag if we do this or that why?

i think everything will be smoother and better with 4.0.4 so why dont we have it???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thering1975:
why will it suddenly be smoother?

Everyone cried out for ICS and i even stated that as soon as it was out we would have threads along the lines of its crap im reverting to GB

Samsung took 6 months+ to get a decent GB rom for the SGS, and will probably take as long for a decent ICS.

It isnt going to change the world going up that small increment.

It is what it is.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac-milan:
when i bought my first note 40days ago, i immediatly installed ICS

played around with all it untill I bricked the phone

insrance sent a replacement and Again installed the stock ICS, And the battery life was crap.

reverted back to stock GB and now I am with litining rom +speedmod guess what?

for moderate usage I have got my phone lasted for 2 days and 15 h, and still 15% of juice

cant be happier :-)

will post my battery usage screen shot later.

my advice stick to GB plus speemod kernel until we get an official fix from samsung

In the last few days Tmo has been redirecting me to buy that stupid hotspot service when i try to hot spot my work computer. I tried Clockworkmod's tether app, and got the same ****. Im in the process of downloading CM9's nightly, im hoping when i flash ill be back to getting what i pay for.

But if it doesnt, and since its a redirect i doubt flashing a rom will help, does anyone know how to get around it?
[Networking] monkeypaws:
I dont understand why yu want to get it free. You are allowing your phone to give internet access to multiple devices thereby increasing bandwidth usage compared to how much youd overall use by accessing data services on your phone alone (hence throttling)Explain how it should be free?.

You can get the five gigs plus tether for thirty bucks. Quit being cheap. Compared to other carriers we have it good.

Im already paying for data plan permonth. I shouldnt have to pay for it twice. Having to pay for tethering is a straight up money grab, i dont care how cool Tmo is (and they are a great company), i dont think i should have to pay twice for the data im already using and paying for.

So if you have 2 phones on your account you should only have to pay for data on one if them but get it on both? By your logic that would be the same thing...

[Networking] gorillaz1:
If he has unlimited data yes. If a customer has a 2gb hspa+ and unlimited edge after, who cares whether it's his phone or comp using the data? Charging for tethering is just charging for the service not the data. And considering a simple free app can do that service why should he pay extra?
[Networking] Oskiee:
Data is data. Ones and zeros are ones and zeros. Im paying for ones and zeros. Not to mention i rarely use tethering at all, i just want it handy for that "every once in a while." $15 a month doesnt constitute that. Nor does it constitute using one of them "shared" bull **** that is $15 a month just to enable my phone to do it and use up the same data pool. Its a money grab and i refuse to pay for it.
[Networking] thatkidfades:
This is right. You are already paying for your 2GBs, you should be able to use it as you want. Because at the end of the day, your going to get throttled once you hit your limit.

so even if your using just your phone, or a hotspot the data you use with the devices don't change.
[Networking] asting:
If I'm not browsing on my laptop then I'm just going to pick up my phone and do it that way. How does that allow me to use an unfair amount? Data limits are still in place on my "unlimited" line.

T-Mobile didn't "figure you out" - most tethering is easily detectable. It's a matter of "does T-Mobile care enough to do anything about it?" ... Until recently, that answer was no.

The information to get around T-Mobile's tethering detection is available in this forum (read: search for it). I'll give you a hint: the user agent gives you away.
[Networking] sitizenx:
Do you own Tmobile stock?! What difference does it make? You know some of us are irritated that we are paying for unlimited data with at&t and we aren't able to tether our laptops every once in awhile. I have no need for tethering 95% of the time. But when I'm on the road and I need to check something on a flash website it is nice to be able to use my laptop. I shouldn't have to lose unlimited data AND have my data bill go up 66% just because I need to tether 15 times a year. You know if they said hey if you are going to be traveling pay us $5 and we will let you tether for a month I would say fine.

You "righteous" dudes are missing the point. I totally understand what the OP is saying. If I'm already paying for a certain amount of data, who gives a damn HOW it is used. In the end I'm STILL using the amount of data I paid for. Nothing more, nothing less. Charging for that is just like double billing in my opinion. These providers will do ANYTHING to milk more money out of the consumer.
[Networking] Jlarsen5:
Tmob is a business, not a non profit orginization. it's not like charging for the service is done just to "rob" consumers, if it wasn't for everyone expecting everything for free I think technological advancements would be in a completely different place. We only hinder ourselves with our sense of entitlement. I get the point of only tethering so often, but again, few ruin it for the many and use their phone as a modem for Netflix. Too bad it's in our nature to exploit everything. Just sayin :D
