[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kromosto:
if you ask me this is just the right time to buy note if you find with reasonable price. because note just got a decent rom LRT. has enough hardware power and versus note 2 for me i prefer 1280 * 800 over 1280 * 720. but dont forget my reasonable price requirement. here in Turkey they still sell it from 880 USD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
if money is not an issue, I'd say you go for the Note 2. Clearly... it has all the best and right features that the original one has yet to get. Hardware wise.. the original one isn't even comparable enough (we'll unless you overclock it, but still.. it has a limitation to it). Software part.. the new Note 2 has the official stock TW JB 4.1 installed already... Something that all of us here using the original one is still yearning to use and experience. Yeah there are a lot of custom JB Roms out there... but nothing still beats the official JB that Samsung has released already for the new Note.

So yeah, Go for the Note 2.. that is the best recommendation I can offer you.

P.S. Don't ask for any ETA updates when Samsung will release the official JB, co'z it's anybody's guess when they're going to release it. It might be this next month.. or next year.. who knows.....

Its already been launced in India y'day and estore price $758 (offering free bluetooth headset)

But usally in open market you should get 15-20 $ less to it.

Indian user may get some benefit by raising Rs value to $ since 1wk, i think its at least 2.5Rs / $ in last 5 days. ultimately make cheaper Rs1500 or more.

Back to topic

In my point of view, Note 2 is worth to spend 200$ extra
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
I agree, You should ideally hang out for the Note 2 if you can afford it :)

Thats not to say the Note 1 is becoming obsolete ! The Note 1 is still an awesome device with plenty of life left in it.

And if you can get it for a great price, then you wouldnt regret it !

Im going to get the Note 2 and give the Note 1 to my misses. (she thinks she's getting the Note 2 because its her time for a renewal ! my my my, How wrong is she ! lol )

It's too early to buy the N7000. After the launch of the N7100 prices N7000 will decline significantly. If $ 200 is not a problem I would advise to buy N7100.

I got my Galaxy Note 2 weeks ago and very happy with it, The reason I didn't wait for the Note II is that I don't really need all the new features of the Note II.

As I said before my Note serves all my needs and also the new apps added in the latest ICS 4.0.4 makes the Note alot better and smoother.

At the end it is personal preferences.

Okay, before everyone start flaming me, lets talk about what i can do. I am an android developer who makes APPS. And i will gladly help with anything in my power. I don't have much understanding of how the NFC in the phone works, but thats why i have you guys.

My request is:

Will it ever be possible to use the phone as a USB NFC Reader for computer?

(or any form of connectivity)

The idea is making the phone function as a nfc reader;

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] damagecase13:
first off i hope this is in the right thread!

So for the past week and a half I have been having an issue with Facebook (and i think I have noticed in other apps but not recently). Its an odd graphical glitch which you can see in the attached screenshot. This is happening VERY often in the Facebook app. Its actually becoming unusable because most of the time the square glitch pops right on top of the comments or posts I'm trying to read. Ive been using "fast for facebook" lately because i really cant use the actual FB app,

Its a Rogers HTC One XL, running on the latest (27th) CM10 Nightly.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be? Ive been rooted and unlocked for over a month now and it only just started happening the past week and a half. If you need more info I will reply right away!

Thanks a lot!

Hi, i'm buying a Samsung galaxy s3, and i worry about bad ESN phone that i can't use on my tmobile account.

For that reason, i think i will pay for a s3 ATT ( if ATT s3 is a bad ESN phone than i still can unlock and use it with my tmobile account, right? )

But i hear someone said that if i use a unlock ATT phone then tmobile data plan won't work on that att phone. I don't know if this is correct information or not.

Can someone help me out?

Thank you very much.

Also Is there anyone to avoid bad esn phone on craiglists?

Furthermore, is there anyone to buy a bad ESN Tmobile phone, and somehow i can use it with tmobile ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] defnow:
Once its been blacklisted it will not work with that specific carrier. If you want to buy one off craigslist...have the seller meet you at a at&t store or T-Mobile and have the rep check if the imei for you. If the seller is unwilling to do that...don't trust it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kingkard:
I hear some story that the phone is good at the time people trade phones. However after 1 month, it become a bad ESN phone.

If Tmobile rep check the phone for me, will it avoid that situation?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Teo032:
honestly, even if the tmobile check, the imei will still be good during the transaction. it isn't until the seller contacts asurion which will most likely be a couple days later to report it lost or stolen. Im not sure how this can be prevented. Some people suggest to call t-mobile have the imei registered to your account right away, or even to leave a note on your account for it. But most likely asurion is the one who are blacklisting the phones not t-mobile.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nexii:
This isn't CDMA. ESN phones are no good the moment they are determined that they are stolen or tied to account with a over due balance. On the other hand. GSM phones usually don't get blacklisted. And even if it is blacklisted it is only blacklisted to its specific carrier. So you shouldn't have a problem bringing the phone to T-Mobile.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kingkard:
Sound right.

Furthermore, may I ask if i buy a ATT S3 to unlock and use it with Tmobile, will Tmobile data plan work on S3 ATT phone?

i c some thread said that it won't work, or it won't function fully. is that true?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] defnow:
You'll get 3G with T-Mobile. It will work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xEVILFREDx:
Is that just 3G or HSPA+ ? I was thinking the same thing ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nexii:
You will not get 3G. If I am correct you will only pick up EDGE data since the networks run on different bands and AT&T phones are set to run on AT&T bands and not T-Mobile.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] iali76:
Is there a way you can modify a band settings software wise, in order to work with TMO 4g prepaid plan? I have an i747 ATT unlocked and would like to use with TMO next month. Thanks for your input.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nexii:
That I am aware of no. There is thread started on here were there is a bounty to get it working, but it seems like it is not going to work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eddyed911:
I juts bought an unlocked AT&T S3 today and i am using T-Mobiles prepaid plan. So far i have been getting 4G in some places but EDGE mostly and i want to know what can be done about this. Im thinking of selling or trading this phone for a T-Mobile unlocked version. If there is anything else that can be done about this do let me know.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mijoja:
I got one

I just got the Matrix one7, they put it on sale for $60 as well after the old one sold out. Looks like mostly the same specs except more onboard storage. Hopefully we'll see a bit of development for it on here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dre89:
Just got mine in yesterday. Gotta say it doesn't suck. It's a good basic tablet, and that's coming from someone who's never seen the point of a tablet lol. From talking with someone in the company it's apparently sold far better then they were ready for so hopefully someone a bit more code savvy and with more time on their hands then me bought it and will do some developing for it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hizpanick:
I just got the Matrix One, and I am considering the Matrix One7 at the discounted price except it doesn't have HDMI out, plus the CPU and camera seem to be a downgrade. I noticed in the build.prop its model is A10_MID and device name is crane_q7, google search doesn't bring anything comparable up. What would the devs need to build for this tablet?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harrenb:
The tablet comes rooted out of the box so all a dev would need is source code and the kernel from the tablet but since its running vanilla Android 4.0 it should be easy I think, mines should come Thursday!!!

Matrix One Unstable

I got mine yesterday. Was able to load the Play Store and some apps. However, after some use, it decided to randomly reboot. I performed a Factory Data reset and just got it connected to the internet, started up Skype, made a Skype video call connection and it rebooted after a few minutes. Think I have a hardware problem? Seems the network connection is unstable.

Also, where is development for this going to land? What should I be browsing on XDA?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenokc:
I'm having problems too after more use. It seems to overheat and freeze, especially when charging. If I fully charge then use unplugged, it's OK but when on while charging, it hangs.

Secondly, it really only has 384MB RAM available, which is tight. I was getting a lot of freezing while using. I went into Developer options and restricted to 3-4 background processes and it solved that problem but it's still relatively sluggish.

This feels more like a prototype device. Is OK if you want to use for e-reading, streaming music or occasional browsing but don't expect full tablet experience.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sushiguy732:
I got mine today and after minimal use here are my comments:

My unit is labeled as the Matrix One and looks like the picture on the website. With that being said, it does not match the specs, mostly in my favor. 1. It has 1GB RAM, 2. It came shipped with 16GB and three it seems to only have a 1GHz processor.

I find the unit to be lagging with the responsiveness when I press the screen.

It gets a little warm but not anything to mention.

The webcam is real nice and the picture is very clear.

The website says "Micro USB" when in reality it is "Mini USB".

The one thing that does bug me a bit is that not all the apps are compatible with this tablet. It is running Android 4.0.3 so most should be compatible and I am not sure why it is not.

Over all I have no real impression yet but I also keep in mind that it was only $60.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenokc:
^Nice, they apparently just shipped the wrong item.

I'm disappointed that it comes with mini usb when the specs say micro usb. But even more disappointing is it can't be charged via USB. It needs a wall charger.

I had low expectations of the display but in some ways I like it better than my Nexus 7, which has a glossy reflection. The touch screen isn't as responsive but is not bad when adjusting to it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sushiguy732:
I spoke with tech support and they said they were getting rid of inventory and it was a crap shoot as to whether or not you got an S branded one which is what they gave me.

they also said this was an MID A10 compatible device and there are some CM10 build out there which would work on this.

I am trying to track those down now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epoch1176:
Just got mine today. First thing I can say is don't put the free case on the white one. It has already put black marks across the back of mine that don't wipe off.

Downloading and installing apps is pretty slow. It does get quite warm, but no locking up yet. The wifi connection doesn't seem all that stable.

But for $60, my kids can beat it all to hell and spare my phones and other tablets.

I wouldn't be opposed to buying one of their higher end products.

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

The battery is also draining really fast. After about an hour the battery has gone from 71% to 38%.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dre89:
You can clear up alot of the lag by bumping up the memory settings with apps like rom toolbox or autokiller

swapper is another good app for it, a swap file really helps with the lack of memory

Really had to start tweaking things to get it running smoothly, changed the cpu governor, upped the memory levels, and changed to holo launcher for the home screen.

One issue I have is mine reboots when I try raising the cpu speed above 1152mhz even though the max is supposed to be 1.5ghz, it's set at 1008mhz by default. Though with my settings it all of butter right now

Edit: So mine froze up while watching a video online, rebooted it and it said the encryption was corrupted and it had to factory reset

I never turned on the encryption

Stuck at Android screen

hello all. i just received mine yesterday. i put about 4 hours of use into it. had a few random reboots yesterday while i was playing, but didn't think anything of it for a $60 toy. now today i got just the Android scrolling logo... poopies.

is there a button sequence on this bad boy to get more options or even do a reset?

after reading through all of the posts here:

i have buggy wifi

i received the 16gb w/ 1gb of ram

possibly 5 random reboots

does get warm

screen response is sub par

much thanks to any information.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harrenb:
Mines did that once and I just power cycled two time until it booted hold the power button until it cuts off and then hold the power button for three seconds after it cuts off and it should reboot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sushiguy732:
I was able to boot into recovery (CWM) buy going into Settings / Backup and Reset / Recovery Mode / OK

I was able to use two of the three buttons on top to scroll up and down but I cannot find any way to select one of the option.

I called their support line about something else and they said that recovery worked. I am just not sure how.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a fly by night company but quite honestly I don't expect much more for the money.

It would be great if we could ODIN a new ROM onto this thing but I am not sure how to get it into DOWNLOAD mode.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

I have the same S model you do and I also had a few random reboots but those seemed to go away today. My WiFi was also buggy but that too is better today. Unfortunately the unit is still very slow to respond to almost anything. But then again, like you said, I didn't have may high expectations for $60. This will do until I find a tablet I actually want to use as my daily driver.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] na4ion1:
Not sure when to hold to, or when to release.

First, I see Andy the Android in a blue square.

Second, I see the bright white Matrix One splash screen.

Last, I see the old school Android logo that scrolls.

If I power it up and never release the power button it doesn't reboot. Just stays on the Android screen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harrenb:
Ok if it locks up or something and you want to restart it hold the power button until the screen cutsoff then let go, after that hold the power button for 3 seconds and it will cut back on let go and wait for it to boot up you might see the old android splash screen "flicker" thats fine wait a little longer and it should boot. This worked for me when mine froze:D
