[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung controls pricing for devices sold through authorized resellers and doesn't provide warranty support for those purchased from non-authorized resellers. The "deal" you saw was probably from the latter. Typically you'll see a Samsung sanctioned "X" dollars off every once in a while but usually you'll see things like a bundled in-store gift card or free accessories instead of an outright discount. If Costco carries the Note they'll offer some type of discount if sold in-store but not online where the pricing would be exposed. Depending on your tax rate it would be the same net price by buying it online and not paying tax.

This is today's price for a G-Tab 2 after its been on the market for months at Walmart, the king of discounting.

So I have been horribly frustrated with sprints 3G speeds since I got my epic. I live in metro Detroit. (Fairly large sprint market) and have averaged around 50-75kbps DL. With a 600ms+ ping. And there is ZERO wimax anywhere. I was getting fed up. Until over the last month or so I have seen 600%+ increase in speeds. I now average closer to 500kbps DL with a 111ping. And I have even had consistent tests of 1mb DL. Could this be the first fruits of network vision? Or other tower upgrades? Or somehow less traffic. I had considered it could be the newer ROM/modem. (CM10/FH13). Has anyone else seen recent speed increases?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Logix:
yeah man here in st pete i finally saw a consistent 1 meg down and i was inside ( but near a window) the network map said theres about to be another speed increase here its usually a lie tho.... i doubt its anything permanent sprint fails im moving to straight talk once its all over but im supposed to have lte in my area at the end of my contract and i got employee plan pricing if i have lte at my house then ill keep them if not oh well. could network vision not just be a giant false marketing scheme?

edit well i just did a speed test and im back to the usual 300kbs lol lucky i pay a dial up price and get dial up service XD so i guess not. sprints the most useless unlimited ever. Even living in a wimax area the wimax sucks everywhere but the beach. ( where i dont even need wimax)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I have 5+ months horrible experience with Sprint 3G speed after last two days on roaming service came back this morning better than ever from 0.09Mbps download to 0.89Mbps download huge improvement sadly it last till this evening when service cut off came back horrible as always. :banghead:

At least I know they are working on it. :rolleyes:

Arecibo, PR 00612
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cknuth:
Whatever spring says "network vision" is. Clearly they are trying to or want to improve their service. One area they are strong, customer service. But their tech(except phones) sucks. So the question for me is, just like the first guy who replied. Is if they can get LTE working by the time my contract is up. Or at least get 3g solidly above 1mb.. then I would stay no question.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard220:
+1, I have 1 year left on my contract. Next July I will re-evaluate sprint and see how things are going. If sprint stepped up to the plate then bonus I will stay but if its the same ol song and dance crap I am gone. Maybe this xmas I will do that re-evaluate of sprint and see what is up and just maybe I might buy off the rest of my contract, pay a etf and jump ship. But having to pay a extra 10 bucks a month just because of a smart phone crap aka 4g is bull**** considering sprint does not have wimax, 4g, lte or what ever here where I live and 3g is absolutly slower than dial up modem speeds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gargox:
Well Sprint Vision says that in the next 6 months a tower will basically be put in my backyard, according to their map. My contract is up in 12 months, I'll make a decision then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
I get 8kb/s out here in Toledo....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Mine has picked up in some areas the past few weeks but its still crap in other areas and at random times. Its also still much slower than 3G from any other carrier. My Sprint 3G speeds are often similar to Tmobile Edge speeds I had 4 years ago but Edge was more consistent.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
Every week my 3G speed changes, today I am getting less than 100kbps when last week or so I was getting almost 600. I am hoping this is due to them upgrading the towers and that is causing the inconsistencies.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Are you using updated maps to see this info or are you just using the maps on Sprint's website?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Pretty sure they've actually, finally, started work on Network Vision for our area.

We're supposed to be apart of the network vision plan for the second half of 2012.

http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cknuth:
If they do manage to get LTE going by next summer I'll for sure stick around. Prolly with the 2nd nexus device if possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
I practically guarantee they will by then.

Personally I'm more concerned about getting 3g speeds in the 1.5 - 3 mbps range and the improved service that comes with Network Vision.

Really couldn't care less for LTE/Wimax with that. :silly:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthejoker20:
Same crappy speed here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rob the plumber:
metro Detroit here too, and I haven't noticed any increase. For some reason my phone now roams constantly. Hopefully not so much that they terminate my contract and force me to jump on T-Mobiles new deal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrrogers12:
3G still sucks here ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mideastbeast:
My friends from the bay area (California) started roaming when their towers were being upgraded so it could be a could sign. Here S4GRU website says you guys are should be upgraded soon:

S4GRU Detriot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrrogers12:
I'm only with them for the price an unlimited...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cknuth:
That's what I'm saying. I'll stick it out for the prospect of unlimited 4g...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Apk07:
Metro Detroit here as well... Get the FH13 modem, you won't be disappointed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cknuth:
Yeah in the OP I mentioned I had just switched to that one and assume it somewhat contributed to faster speeds. When I look on the tower upgrade map (the real one) it says they recently upgraded the tower nearest me and virtually every single other one is supposed to get worked on in the 6 months (read. 1 year). Maybe its a combination of all these things?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Ya unlimited would be sweet..

Hopefully there network gets better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilotimz:
Someone posted S4GRU links ; seriously, check it out. They literally have the scoop on most of what sprint is doing and what they're doing.

IIRC large areas in the east coast of USA has LTE delayed due to some problems getting additional supplies for LTE panels (etc) but the towers are all upgraded with fiber / microwave.

Step one in seeing if you're in an area where NV is being done. Check S4GRU maps.

Step two is check if you're suddenly roaming a lot and have a major drop in service / data speeds. This is evidence of towers being worked on and widely reported from many people from NV areas. Third is if you get 1mbps + speeds consistently. Fiber/Microwave backend vs T1 lines.

Sprint website is all bandaid fixes and not NV. Usually they add more carriers or just another T1 line to help increase speed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Finally yesterday 3G started to improve from 0.09Mbps now up to 1.38Mbps see capture. I'm Impress.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I feel your pain I was like that till yesterday, now getting better every hour I downloaded a few min ago 292Mb in just 25 minutes I can't believe it yet.

Here a tech working in a tower at Puerto Rico.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] samsmalls:
Yea its definitely making a difference last week i got full bars & 4G signal in the exact same parking lot that i couldn't get espn.com to load to save my life first round of the playoffs.. Now i was able to watch a couple blog videos in the same lot on "3G". EVEN IN MY HOUSE, if i unplug my airwave i can load pages in the basement...

I'm just wondering is it "going to get any better" or is this small speed increase all were getting?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nevell:
I remember once upon a time you couldnt say Sprint and 1 megabit in the same sentence
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Lol. One thing that plays a big key in speeds is the OS I swear when ever I go back to GB speeds are so fast! Inside my house I get 1-2 bars and would get 800 down then go to ICS ota and get about 300 down. Within like 10 mins or testing in the exact same spot lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nevell:
This is ics on my gs3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Oooooohh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Hmmm now that I finally have good speeds in my area I can confirm that no matter what Android OS I have speeds are the same up to 1.70Mbps on EK02, EL29, FF18, FH13

If you have good coverage no matter the OS, speeds are the same.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Now that I tried the FH13 modem my speeds go up to 1.9 to 2.1. Even though Sprint's data is capped o.0

Yeah fh13 is nice. For me fh23 has been kind of crappy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sratwars:

I don't either but luckily I at least roam. I'm pretty much in the basement but I pick up Verizon's signal. I hope to get Sprint that strong soon...

Why are you even bothering with 3G? you can't connect to 4G?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Because someone have a tower very near doesn't mean it have Wimax available.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nevell:
Nah no 4G in my area. Never has been and i doubt it ever will be.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nsxla:
Well if it makes you feel better, your 3G speeds are faster than the 4G speeds i am getting on ICS =] - on GB though I get 6-8mb down.

If i didn't have wifi at home, i would pull my hair out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Wow today I got another awesome improvement now 4 bars of signal and 3G up to 2Mbps

I like sprint... Cheapest out there... Att and verzion over charge and tmobile adds money to your monthly bill complete rip off.. But just my opinion.... I also use wifi 95% of the time.. Dont see the big deal on network coverage... Flip on your wifi... Geez... Plus ive notice using juice defender and wifi i save sooo much battery with those two things
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
OMG Wife's Motorola Photon it's pulling up to 2.98Mbps and 2.33Mbps consistently. :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Photon has a hell of an antenna . When in went to the sprint store last week I did speed test on the gs3 and evo late same spot same time and evo was always faster by about 300kbps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gilbydakid:
3g is getting better here in MN too. It's actually tolerable enough that I haven't had to use 4g at all this week.

With the note 2 coming to sprint, good 3g, and NV rolling out 2 months after my upgrade. I'm starting to like sprint again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Now hitting 2mbps on E4GT and 2.5Mbps on Photon 4G :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Cyclonut:
I work near Universal Studios Orlando and I could never use 3G whatsoever in my office. It would constantly be in the range of .01 - .08 down and up was not even usable. I constantly had 4g turned on and the phone plugged (4g drains out fast) in to even use it. About three weeks ago overnight 3g went to running between .5 and 1.4 constantly averaging about .7 during peak times and is now very usable.

I haven't had to use 4G since and have been a very happy camper! As someone said earlier just in time for the galaxy note 2! I've been upgrade eligible since July and just waiting for the note 2 to come to sprint.

Call Echo and Netflix

The only real issue I'm having now is the echo that the person you call hears that started when the fix was added for being unable to hear phone calls on answer (until you toggled speaker). I see there is a merge regarding audio in the latest nightly (0823), but it specifically references d2usc not d2att, so I'm not sure it even applies, even if it is related to this issue. Does anyone know if the echo on the other end is still present after 0823?

Other issues I still have even after a full wipe, but that aren't as important (and are otherwise well-known), are the inconsistent wake behaviour of the home button (just use power button instead), and occasional screen flicker when you don't disable hardware overlays. There's also the >160 character SMS thing, but mine seems to split the messages in half OK (instead of sending it as one message, which would be preferable).

As for Netflix I do not use it, but when browsing the changes at r.cyanogenmod.com a few days ago I came across one that stated in the comment that it was to fix the Netflix issue for our phones. It wasn't merged at the time, though, and I can't seem to locate it now. I'll post it if I do so you can watch if/when it gets merged. Either way, they are aware and working on the issue, and it seems to be fixable with ROM changes.

Ok so my thoughts so far after using the latest build (08/23) is that its good and I will use it as my daily driver, a few things here and there that I miss from touchwiz, but overall its an awesome rom hiccups here and there, but stable enough as a daily driver.

...unless I change my mind before then. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eortizr:
That setting will basically stream the movie without any type of transcoding or compression which defeat the purpose of using Plex. Also you will not get audio on any video unless is only stereo. The purpose of Plex is to be able to stream your movie collection without having to worry about compatibility with your device.

if you are looking for a TouchWiz like theme, you can download one

it will give you an idea and look.. but you can't have TW no matter what if you want CM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BAM1789:
By stock do you mean a TouchWiz look? Because that is definitely not the point of CM10 and getting rid of TW was such a huge reason of going to a custom ROM like CM. There are custom ROMs based on stock software that might be more your liking.
