[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sledgie:
Yes, mine creaks extensively. My only complaint. I have grey 16GB and on the right side it creaks anytime i touch it. I have it in case too. I was curious if the white one doesnt creak but my creak doesn't seem like its a small amount. I considered returning it but its such a perfect tablet i was cautious i might get one that isnt perfect (sorry i used to be a Prime and Infinity user and it left a bad taste in my mouth) or one whose speaker doesnt work. But...its not a subtle creak at all, which is why i considered it in the first place. Biggest creaks for me are on the right side under the speaker (just touching my finger on the edge of the panel creaks, i dont need to press) and on the bottom left side of the screen to the left of the down arrow). I will consider returning it now after reading some of these comments... just worried because everything else is perfect including screen (again, ex-Prime user got me paranoid about returning a near perfect tablet). I know this is a ridiculous thing to complain about but the creak is quite loud, as i notice it in meetings and during a class. Also of course at night. If it didn't make a sound, and instead just had flexibility, i wouldn't complain as much. I know it's ridiculous but the tablet cost quite a lot...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tian105:
Our tablet creak at the exact same spot. right.side under the speakers. i have a 32gb gray. to the owners that dont have the creaking, what color is yours and where is it made from?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Vincent9756:
No. But, I haven't tried to bend it (like those reviewers I've read about) or put a lot of pressure on it. I just hold it. Lightly touch and swipe the screen. I just use enough force to get a response.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] silverbladef:
16GB Grey, creaks every time I pick it up, so annoying. Oh well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] darksabre_x:
I originally thought mine was creaking. It ended up being my finger squeaking on the plastic when I picked it up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Mr. Corny:
I am testing a white 16 GB unit, it creaks at the same spot, but it is not as severe. Still, not something I would expect in this price range. Maybe there is connection with a pen space, it creaks only in that area :S
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] silverbladef:
That's what I thought exactly. It has to do with the S Pen's slot. I also just realized I had mine for a month, it definitely passed my "lets see if I want to keep this or return it" period. I love it.

while my favourite game to date has been "asphalt 6 by game loft" I'm currently enjoying "beach buggy blitz by vector unit" which is fun like "diddy Kong racing by rare" on the n64.

I tend to play puzzles on my phone but enjoy tilt control racing on my a500.

¡For the love of gods! this guy is only posting for trolling, what is the damn point to ask for our favorite games in this "ANDROID" forum to end in his stupids comparisions telling us that he has an iPad a is much beter in all aspects, man there is no comparision we all know the iPad is better, the reason for open this section is to discuss our expiriences (troubles and soutions) in our day routine whith the acer iconia.

To the moderators: Please this guy must be banned for good he has many post like this, if he like the iPad so badly the he must be in apple forums not here.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
This has been brought up before.

Besides, can't ban somebody just because they like iPad's. There's nothing wrong with a comparison, so just be calm. If you wish not to see his posts, then use the block function in your profile settings.

So, let's not start troubles. Clearly there is a reason an iPad owner bought (I think) an Iconia ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
Sonic 4 episode 1 is pretty awesome. After I finish it I plan on getting episode 2. Can anyone confirm if the HD version works good on the A500 or should I go with the standard def version of episode 2? Episode 1 didn't have a choice, but it looks great IMO.
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
So you ask for games and criticize the suggestions we give you? If you like the games on apple then why did you buy an android device
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Knock it off please. No arguments.

OP, you've been told not to start Android/Apple arguments before. If you wish to brag about Apple products, then go to an Apple forum.

PLEASE ONLY ADVISE ON THE N7000

i have been reading for 2 houres now and its all messed up threads about the n7000 and other phones cross each other

that makes it very hard to find the right answers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:
If you have warranty and a proof for showing that it was sim unlocked(mostly the bill itself) take it to SC and ask them to repair it for you.That should be the safe and best method.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the peppi:
unfortunatly i dont have the bill bought it second hand

when i had the bill i would contact my provider and ask for the code

so how do i unlock the device without the bill and without the original code
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the peppi:
best way to fix it is to goto

cellunlocker.net

pay with paypal

What is the advantage of going through Best Buy as opposed to going direct to carriers?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeRock13:
I have bought the buyback option on my AT&T Note. Currently I'm eligible for over 60% of the full retail value ($749) and I payed $299. Of that $299, I had about $120 of that covered with my previous phone's buyback value. It allows people who get a new phone every 8-12 months (or sooner) to do so with a nominal fee up front.

I could just as easily sell my phone online and get the same cold hard cash but only if my phone is in pristine condition. As it happens, my phones are never in perfect condition, case or otherwise.

For me, my local Best Buy Mobile provides much better service than any carrier store I've ever used.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ps2gamer02:
im a best buy mobile employee an we haven't heard anything on preorders for the note 2. we usually receive an employee news when the phone gets an official date. then we take preorders $50 down an it goes on a gift card that you can use towards the phone or anything you want.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cincyelite22:
Same here. No news on preorders at this time. The buyback option isn't offered anymore though. You can do tradein plus though which guarantees you $50 for your device on top of its trade in value when you get your next phone after the note 2. Plus you can get the geek sqaud protection for 9.99 a month and it covers all accidental damage except full water submersion. Really nice since there is no deductible and you get unlimited claims. They just send you a type A refurbished replacement with 3 to 5 days.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
This is fine and dandy on a new contract, but Best Buy sucks when one wants to buy the phone outright.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cincyelite22:
Yeah if you buy it for retail you should be able to get the protection on it still. You can also buy the geek squad protection for the two years outright for $169.99 and it works out to be 7 months free. This is nice because lets say you get another phone in a year and a half, you can return your protection and you'll be prorated for what you haven't used yet.

The protection is optional lol. You can get the phone alone, pay 9.99 a month for protection, or pay 169.99 for two years protection upfront

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randy2:
I have the buyback and it will be the last time I get to use it so I hope the devs work on this device for at least 18 months, and best buy hurry up and open pre orders because I got a feeling this is going to be like the galaxy S3 launch all over again with the first pre orders coming in then stock trickling in slowly

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeRock13:
To the best of my knowledge, I don't think so. When you take it back, you get a gift card to use on anything in the store. They do sell phones off contract, but when the AT&T Note was first released here, you couldn't buy it off contract at Best Buy. No idea if they're going to do that this time around.

Hello,

I have the international phone of the S2. I am right now running on T-Mobile's service. I can call, sms, and mms just fine. But its on the EDGE network for data. If you root the phone (which I have done before), will I be able to force the phone to go into a 4G network like HSPDA? T-Mobile is a GSM network, however T-Mobile's required bands (1700 and 2100) are not listed in the GSM bands but on the HSPDA bands.

even if you force the phoone to use UMTS, or HSDPA, you probably still won't see 3G (or what t-mobile call 4G), until they refarm their 3G network to 1900 band in your market (or you could be one of the lucky few that are in those refarmed market already).

So I just switched over to the gsm play store galaxy nexus from an epic 4g touch and I love the phone so far paired straight talk at&t and cm10 for the OS.

I have one question though, does anyone know where in the framework-res.apk the strings for the carrier name in status bar are stored. I usually like to have mine say my name but right now it just says home. On my cdma epic touch it was in xml/eri.xml but that doesnt seem to be the case so does anyone know which file contains the carrier name strings for this phone?

Nothing yet. I decompiled the framework.jar and started looking through the different .smali files and still no luck. I also tried editing the spn-conf.xml no luck either. I really want the carrier to be my name but I would settle for straight talk. Right now it just says home.

i have sprint and want out. 3g is more like whatever is slower than 1x and unless you're in a major market in first lte rollout you won't have it for quite a while, making you stuck on 3g. Wimax hasn't supported many areas and the rollout was slow. research before committing

[Galaxy Note II General] juliocmorales93:
I'm on sprint, I have the og epic 4g, wimax was really slow until the devs here figured the epics radio was buggy thanks to samsung. Now I can flash the Nexus modem on to my phone and wimax is amazing, way faster than before and pretty consistent. The evo LTE is having the same problem with their radio right now I believe. Anyways for heavy data users Sprint is great, but it really depends on where you live, figure out what's best for you because crappy data speeds are about as good as throttled data speeds. I hope Samsung does a good job on the note 2 modem.
[Galaxy Note II General] coldblooded79:
My experience with Sprint was great till recently. Speeds are horrible and I've had to call twice in two weeks about texts not going through. My wife isn't receiving calls on her Epic Touch. I would seriously reconsider your decision. We will be headed to At&t asap and I plan on picking up a Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] hirent:
Sprint's data speeds really suck, especially inside buildings.

You might want to get a hotspot and test it out for a month.

Go around the areas you frequent and run speed tests.

Or buy a cheapo Sprint phone off CL and get a month of service. This way you can use it for as long as you wish and then cancel if you don't like the service since you aren't in a contract.
[Galaxy Note II General] Hotobu:
I have yet to ever meet someone who's uttered the phrase, "I'm satisfied with Sprint." Their service problems go back at least 12 years because that's when I used to sell phones with Sprint being one of the carriers.
[Galaxy Note II General] chconser:
Welp, maybe we're not meeting in person, but consider this a virtual introduction. ;)

It just so happens I've been with Sprint for the last twelve years & I'm satisfied with Sprint. I'll even go as far as to say, I've had the best experience with Sprint of any carrier. Good quality cellular & data service, customer service has been impressive, & pound for pound, none of the big dogs can beat their pricing (at least not yet). I've had both Verizon & AT&T. Can't speak for T-Mobile, but I'm still with Sprint after 12 years.

And I may be out of line in saying this, but I'm guessing not too many folks go to the retailer specifically just to tell them how great & satisfied they've been with their service or provider, regardless of carrier. Unless they're renewing or accessorizing, they're there because they have a problem with their phone or with the service, with their bill, or with their current carrier/provider & they are looking to switch.

Edit: Sorry OP. To address your question, if I haven't already made it obvious, I do think Sprint is the best choice. :D
