[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ross1998:
since official ics is very far from moto releasing it............... do u guys think moto might as well skip ics for us and make it jellybeans cause jellybeans is already out and not a huge step from ics?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cusa:
Highly unlikely knowing that Motorola and Nvidia are shiit companies.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatperson:
Nope. Like how some Moto phones only got Froyo long after Gingerbread was released.

Posted from my rooted Motorola Atrix.
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
I just wanted to give my opinion about rooting, I'm sure a lot of people like to do so, but on this device I don't think that you need to, I did a root on my .gs1 because of lag, then my arc needed more then root lol but my sgs 3 so far the best phone that I ever seen, not perfect, but as for lag, battery life, speed its top!
[Galaxy S III General] IFireflyl:
There a a ton of reasons to root besides lag.

I have an app that requires root that keeps my clock in sync with the actual atomic clock time. The system clock will, over time, be too fast or too slow which means that eventually my phone is a few minutes off.

I have an app that requires root that is used to freeze/quarantine bloatware.

I have an app that requires root that allows me to backup not only my applications, but the application data as well.

I also enjoy root for custom ROMs and kernels that have less lag/stutter than the phone normally does (and yes, this still applies to the Samsung Galaxy S3).

There are always reasons to root. :)
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
I understand, I'm not saying not too, for me if the phone is good I'm leaving it stock
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Root no >> then no Nandroid and No TB no Ad Blocker . No push apps .

[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Rooting has absolutely nothing to do with reducing lag or anything at all performance wise.

Rooting just gives you superuser permissions on your device.

Even if you are running an octo core phone with 5gb of ddr3 ram, rooting still offers benefits.

[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
I fail to see the reason for this topic.

You choose not to root your phone and seem to have no idea what rooting actually means.

Fine by me, why should I or anyone else care what you personally do and do not do with your phone?
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
ok I have another question is there a root where could just download an app like a old g s one?
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
No No

jje
[Galaxy S III General] The_Biz:
I rooted because the T-Mobile not sound was annoying. Without root, I couldn't get rid of it. Also ad block needed to be done.
[Galaxy S III General] apisfires:
No, must root through PC odin, root is about permission, not performance. You must read more dude
[Galaxy S III General] IFireflyl:
+1. This is a pointless thread. You opened it just to say, "I don't want to root my phone. No reason."
[Galaxy S III General] Lpuboy87:
thought this was XDA forums ?? who HASNT rooted their phone on this site? LOL :laugh::victory:
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
me I didn't know that you had to have your phone rooted to be in this form? are they going to band me now? maybe I shouldn't say anything please don't tell
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
thanks for the info I just never had any luck with rooting yes I'm not good at that stuff I'm not saying rooting is bad or wrong but a lot of people don't have the knowledge I would do it if I know that I wouldn't brick my phone
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
and to think this site was for people who need help with there phones? :eek:
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
Galaxy Phones are hard to hardbrick (not revivable through simple software and/or a 2$ USB-Jig)

By following the instructions in the General section ('following' meaning 'reading', not 'assuming' or 'trying') you're on a quick and painless root.
[Galaxy S III General] IFireflyl:
You don't need help though. You started this thread just to say you don't want to root your phone. That's pointless.
[Galaxy S III General] Lpuboy87:
.......just saying most of the threads here are about rooting..mods...roms...etc..etc.....You just post about im not rooting...ok..Great...you needed to make a thread saying that?? :rolleyes: Why not make a thread about todays weather while your at it
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
if you read my thread you will know! I was asking about it I didn't know what was the good and bad!
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
I need help with people that don't read the beginning of threads!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeStonga:
Does anyone know if you need to find a baseband made specifically for your phone or if you can use any baseband that runs the MT6573 chipset?

I have a star b2000 phone but I cannot find anyone who has it or a baseband for it specifically. I barely get signal in downtown chicago.

I have found a baseband update for a different phone model that runs the same MT6573 chipset, so I am wondering if that can work? Its for an mmxA75.

Thanks in advance!!:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramgzz:
I guess so, I have a x18i with MT6573 and I can't to connect with Iusacell 3G Network in Mexico. I tried change the baseband but not solved. I try to install the baseband switcher but APK dont work in my cellphone

Hello! Im sorry, I am new to forums so I didnt know i posted in the wrong spot. I appreciate your help in moving the thread. I have been a member on here for awhile, but I dont post much, I typically just view others posts.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LaGeek:
Maybe a general rant, but I am extremely disappointed in Samsung. I bought the Note the day it came out, at top dollar, international version. I was fully expecting a stable ICS update, and much sooner than it came out. But fine, it came out a few months later than I expected it. And ever since the update, it just been downhill. My battery life has gone from 15 hours to 8 hours(same usage profile, same apps), camera freezing, etc. I was running stock.

I have hacked in the past, had an inspire and put ROMs every few weeks, so yes, I can go install better battery stats, and run CPU spy, find out about wakelocks and run CPU spy, and spend a whole bunch of time debugging it, or run AOSP etc. But really, do I have to do this for a device that is 4 months old and is supposedly the "top device" of Samsung? Cant they test the upgrades on their phones in a much better manner? The only thing I miss from my iphone 3G days (since I switched to Android) is the timely, and very well tested updates (and the backup restore of everything, one click, seamless). I never had a problem, and if I did, it was resolved very quickly, usually. I wont go back to iOS again, ever. But I really want an Android other than Nexus (I like TW, I started liking Sense a lot too), and have updates on time, well tested.

Is that really too much to ask? If Samsung is expecting to be a top Android phone manufacturer, is that too much to ask? To be very honest, I am extremely disappointed with Samsung, very very disappointed. I had friends with the S2 who were similarly disappointed, and I was really hoping that things would work better this time around. I guess Ill have to go onto rooting and try different roms, but my point is, I dont have to do all this. Just extremely disappointed with Samsung. I am really hoping Google does something with good with Motorola. Really really hoping.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tehno:
Same here. Not to mention the superbrick bug which is known for what ... 3 months or so ? Other than Samsung is working on it, nada, zit, zero ... I guess we are lucky for having XDA because without it I'd be stuck with an expensive phone I'm afraid to even update through the official software let alone put roms on ( I thought that was the main strength of Android btw ( extreme mod-ability) ?

I was also considering in buying a tablet, Android tablet, Samsung tablet. Now ? Neh, I will wait and see what the Infinity looks like in the real world and if I don't like that I'll get an iPad. I used to love Samsung but their late attitude is very suggestive : we've got your 600 euro, **** off now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LaGeek:
Its just an attitude I cannot condone. I might not like a lot of things about Apple, but they do a very good job with trying to keep up their commitments and making devices( atleast one generation before) that work according to spec. If not, I can walk into a damn store and get it serviced within my warranty. Samsung does nothing. Running contests for best apps and hiring the best developers does not get Samsung anywhere. 700 bucks, and I have a phone which I cannot use a lot without making sure i have a charger around. I dont really knew if Samsung is even reading this, or even if they care(as you said, they have our money now we can **** off), but I am hoping enough people complaining makes some bit of a difference to them to make even current (4 month old users, ****ing insane) a priority and not just go on and do the next exciting thing. If nothing changes in any manufacturer, I might do the unthinkable andmove back to iOS. With two jobs,when do I find time to be sitting and looking at custom roms and wakelocks and preventing incrementing binary counters just to get the battery life I was promised?. Without xda, I would be dead, really, very helpful people who can answer questions and point me in the right direction.

If it just works all day, I might just make the switch back one day. Scr** Samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] programatix:
Well, this is usually what you get with a true multitasking OS. The problem you are having is mainly on usage time (from your description). As Uncle Ben said it, "with great power comes great responsibility". Its Android design problem and not totally Samsung fault in this issue, though there are things that I would like Samsung to fix. For FCs with applications, a factory reset or wiping the application data normally would solve the problem. Again, this is the OS issue. Sigh...

As you can see, most smart phone actually last about 5 hours per charge. You extend the usage time by suspending the phone. The thing is, a multitasking OS allows applications to run in background and those applications might be preventing the phone from getting suspended. If you never install any 3rd party applications on your phone, you won't likely get this problem, thus the reason I quote Uncle Ben. Microsoft learnt this with Windows Mobile, thus Window Phone now works like IOS where applications sent to background are suspended.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not protecting Samsung. If you own a Sony Ericsson, Motorola or HTC, you'll be there in their respective thread renting the same thing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] poope:
Just go back to Gingerbread, what's so great about ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Akiainavas:
Oh boy, not another "samsung sucks, im going to buy apple" thread...

"I was also considering in buying a tablet, Android tablet, Samsung tablet. Now ? Neh, I will wait and see what the Infinity looks like in the real world and if I don't like that I'll get an iPad. I used to love Samsung but their late attitude is very suggestive : we've got your 600 euro, **** off now."

Sure, the iPad is the best tablet available. It can't do half the things Android does, not to mention Windows 8 tablets in comparison with which, the iPad is just a big mp3 player. But good choice. And no, this is not hate for Apple. I had an iPad, liked it very much, but after a month it turned out that it practically can't do anything...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NotablyNice:
Cool story. Just won an ipad 3. Set it up and was playing with it. I think the screen sucks and the OS is frigging boring. Sold it on ebay.

I'm more disappointed the Galaxy Nexus got the ban hammer in the US. I refuse to ever use an Apple product.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Logi_Ca1:
Same thing here. I bought an iPhone 4S 3 months after I bought my Galaxy S2. Sold the 4S within a week.

There's something about android that once you go android you can't really go back. Well at least for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NiceMrMustard:
This is a *****ing thread, keep your facts out of it !

:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] codewisp:
While I would agree that the OS is so friggin boring, I CANNOT agree that the screen sucks. I have never seen anyone say that the new iPad's screen sucks, except for you. Just saying,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Android 4.9 Marshmallow:
I will never choose Samsung again.

They are lazy and they are cheap. I had a problem with my logical board and they didn't replace my phone. Now they replaced my logical board and it has deep sleep issues.

Now i have to send my phone for the FOURTH time so i can get anywhere.

They got my money once, yes. Never again....

Their loss....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chickentuna:
I would agree an iPhone or iPad is boring but the ease of use is something you can't argue about. It's simple, boring, and friggin' expensive. That's why it's for retards. Sorry apple fanboys but it's the truth
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] incisivekeith:
That's unfortunate. I have voiced this before and concur with the OP, that no one should HAVE to root or download custom ROMs for a great experience with any Android device, be it from Samsung or any other company.

It's a show of mediocrity by Android and Android phone manufacturers when they place products in the market which truly do not perform without a bunch of optimizations. If this continues, Android will never overtake iOS and any Android device will always be behind an iPhone and an iPad.

Criskelo ICS LQ3 v8, LPT Modem, Speedmod k3-3 kernel, AT&T
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CorruptedSanity:
I'll never buy a. Samsung again either. I'll get a google or HTC phone.

Samsung feels cheap hardware-wise and more importantly delayed ICS far too long.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bassarnis:
Almost in the same boat here.

Although i didn't have any motherboard issue, i had the deep sleep issue ever since i upgraded to ICS and i didn't even notice it until recently.

Thanks to XDA members i was able to solve it by turning off the last 4 options in sound settings and unlocking the phone before i unplug it from the wall charger.

The lag in touchwiz launcher for a 700 euro device was not tolerable for me, so i replaced it with ADW EX launcher. You would expect that they would enable gpu acceleration in their launcher with ICS, but anyway.

The worst thing is that mmc_erase bug. I am actually scared to install CM9 because i have one of those 0x19 faulty chips according to the gotbrick app.

No updates to ICS for Greece even though 2 months have passed since DBT users had it, amoled black clipping issues with videos, black spots when you view black images at night (which is no issue according to them) <--- really?

The only option left for me is to get the next nexus device when that comes out, unless it is made by Samsung again (read: volume bug).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MohElShafei:
The emmc bug in SGN is shame on SAMSUNG, really i'm extremely disappointed. SHAM ON YOU SAMSUNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] programatix:
Ah, once you're using Google or HTC phone, you'd say the same thing over in their respective threads. Trust me on this.

I've been using ICS stock non-root with great experience, but of course I wanted to use Titanium backup and CIFS, so I root. Is that such option in other OSes? Btw I think all those optimizations are actually placebo effects.

Oh that is calculative risk for Samsung not to rush out the firmware update. Who in the world would a normal user wipe their phone daily, weekly or monthly. A normal user would almost never factory reset the phone. Also, if it did indeed brick the phone, just bring it to your nearest Samsung service centre to get a free mainboard replacement. No warranty? Complain to the consumer association and get a refund.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tfragkos:
In what way exactly the ipad screen sucks??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NotablyNice:
It just sucks compared to my Notes screen. Lot of blotchy colors and no way to change the DPI to something other than what's for people with sight problems. For how much praise it gets, I laughed my ass off.

The ONE thing I did like about the ipad was the minimal battery drain in deep sleep.... Or maybe it's because it's a 11000mAh battery.

Oh the other thing was how much $$ I got for selling it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tannykim:
If you do not like them and disappointed please just go get something better than that. I do know there is issue with but I like my note and I will go find better way to use this best one rather than complain and crying.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BUBA0071:
This tread is spot on

ICS Stock on this device is pure s***, i feel that Samsung is failing this time. I went from SGS2 to SGS note, and sold my SGS2 to a friend. And i can only say SGS2 seems 3 times faster and more stabil on ICS, i know the resolution is slowing it down but this is Laggy. And as a bonus we have the EMMc brick bug. Thank you Samsung "Bul S***" My next phone will not be Samsung. I hope people will skip Samsung for one generation or two. Then they will learn the hard way. No SGS3 or SGN2 for me. I really do not trust Samsung no more.

Loved my SGS1 and SGS2, but the Note is a letdown.

Come on Samsung get in gear and "FIX THIS DEVICE" CM9 team can make this run smooth, but Samsung cant.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] crawlgsx:
Wahhhhh.

Good luck finding something better. In case you didn't notice the "google" phone is made by Samsung (more or less, currently anyway), HTC phones are heavy with horrid ugly screens. LG maybe? Motorola?

All of these companies suck, such is life. Your not going to get a better experience with updates with any of the others, Sorry to burst your bubble.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
First of all, I'd like to say this thread surely has come to be a "RANT" thread aim at Sammy.

Well... I don't have any qualms on that.. but would it be great if you guys (who has some ish with Sammy) to write an open letter to the said company and express all your gutted frustrations/disappointments rather than putting a word out here?

You can email Samsung or better yet, go straight to Samsung's booth (in your area) and hand out your disgust letter to them.

What's my point? driving words here, mean nothing... especially to Sammy. Why? your not addressing your frustrations to the proper channels. Your merely whining on why you picked or chose Samsung... yet it doesn't change any perspectives at all.

I am in no way a Sammy lover but I don't like to read people whine their hearts out on this thread. Again, if you want to let your frustrations speak for itself. Go out, Make a move. But please don't do it here and just wallow in self pity expressing regrets and stuff.

It makes you all like losers!

Before my brother (in the US army), went to Iraq, my dad said to him.

If you want to get the job done. YOU have to GET it MOVING and FINISH IT.

Don't whine because whiners are just bunch of losers! Make it happen and don't waste a bullet if you can't shoot the person straight to his face.

that's all I have to say.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BUBA0071:
I have sendt a letter to Samsung but Samsung is very fragmentet ,they dont know whats going on different Contryes. And i Posted in a Samsung Google+ Tread. But i think Samsung knows what is going on at XDA. They read it like a preast reads the Bible. But they will get link to this tread as well. It is not the Hardware that i blame, it is almost perfekt, is is the bad software. So Google Samsung device could be the answer. But it will be next gen. LG is even worse. LG Optimus X2 is like they just skiped all support after Ginger update.

But ok. Samsung wins in the end.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
I don't believe Samsung wins in the end, YOU are ultimately the victor.

When you boycott Sammy's products from now on, you are decreasing Samsung's revenues in your area. Collectively when masses and masses of people boycott a product, then it would downright chip off that manufacturer's revenue more.

Anyway, what I'm saying.. any steps you did (to express your frustrations) is worth noting.

Silently boycotting Sammy's product is your appeasement to your frustration. Taking out their revenue off makes you the ultimate winner in the end.

Bitc***ng is a Right

From the OP people should know that this is a Bitc**ng thread and should not go about disrespecting people that loves *******ng, if you want to bi**h about Samsung attitudes then go ahead and bit*h,it's your top Dollar that you use to buy the D*mn device......so PLEASE rant all you can:p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LaGeek:
If Samsung doesnt, Ill make sure I write on their facebook page and their google page. Hell, maybe we can even write a open letter with multiple signatories. Ill make sure I will start that. These are suggestions I was looking for. If nothing, this thread will atleast get people to start thinking about an open petition.

And calling us losers, not going to really help, is it? If I could go into the Android OS myself and change it around to fix things, I would. I dont have the time, while I am working two jobs. So please, if you dont want to make suggestions, dont start flaming people for expressing their frustrations and opinions and asking for suggestions.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LaGeek:
Sorry, I beg to differ. I know about the implementation of Android vs Ios, but unless something changed drastically between GB and ICS, I dont see how what I am saying does not apply. With GB, same apps, same usage profile, 16 hours. Now closer to 8, among other issues. If there were tweaks, I am guessing minor tweaks in the scheduler for ICS? I have a friend who just bought the S3, and gets about 15 hours, similar usage profile to mine. Galaxy Nexus gets a whole day, with ICS, and my colleague uses it MORE than me. So yes, I still think it has to do with Samsung and its ICS port, and most probably, its laziness in doing things "right", and not caring about their existing customers, a complaint people have made since Galaxy S.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
I don't mean to be disrespectful to all of you whining here...

But surely nothing can come out of just doing nothing but just all whining.

Sure, it'll wake up people when they're going to read your thread (and all the whines associated with it), yeah you can gain followers just by expressing each other's frustrations.. but my point is.. all this whining your putting on this thread doesn't do any good at all.. UNLESS, you do something to it.

Anyway... This is your thread so feel free to continue the whine...

:cowboy:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
Samsung's device software migration department needs work. It shouldn't be as problematic as the stories we are hearing.

I remain on stock GB and it's very stable, good battery, etc. I am very satisfied, although I crave the new features of ICS and JB.

Samsung has proven capable of delivering a good software package at launch... but it's almost as if they leave their customers behind after launch. This is an improvement opportunity for them because they are a serious threat to Apple otherwise.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
Personally i think you all need to quit being the whining pathetic victims.. if you dont like Samsung products, dont buy them, if you dont like what you have, then sell it!..

Just DO something constructive and positive ..after all, negativity is a cancer for your soul.. so simply sell your Note, go buy HTC, a BB, an iPhone... i dont care.. just get on with life...

I come here to escape my wife..not read stuff that sounds like her droning on and on and on and on and on and on and on.........
