[Galaxy Note II General] BlackCatFTM:
I wouldn't worry about the performance being different. Those rumors go back to when the S3 had a dual core in the states for LTE version rather than the quad core. Yes, battery drain will be more, but I wouldn’t worry about speed. As for stock levels it looks like T-Mobile have been careful with the amount of pre-orders they are taking. Most (but not all) people waiting to upgrade have been turned away so far until stock starts rolling out. I guess that’s makes business sense to them to fulfill orders for new customers they are nabbing from other networks.

There looks to be more noise being made about Friday dispatches now which is at least promising. In my opinion I think this has been the case all along to be honest. That would tie in to the 7-10 days delivery time I was quoted when I managed to upgrade on Monday. It’s anyone guess as to how disorganized they have been this week with telling so many people so many different things.
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
Well get ready for more confusion. Have just been told up to 30 days coz they have no idea and I called again coz its a complete lottery on how knowledgeable the rep you get on the phone is to be told November!! Eediots. This is after being told yesterday the phone was in being tested and my order will ship yesterday or today latest. Fcuk these chumps.
[Galaxy Note II General] Pyr0x64:
I paid off my current contract and "upgraded" on Tuesday with standard pricing/tariff.

I just phoned T-Mobile again to double check the order was actually on the system and was told that the phones should be on the system imminently and as soon as they are, my (back)order will ship. *shrug*
[Galaxy Note II General] jah:
T Mobile just told me

1. The model number is GT-N7100

2. Availability of stock is 25th Oct
[Galaxy Note II General] pjfriend:
Did they explain how the non 4G phone will get 4G?!

Just got a PAC and I'm buying a N7100 in a Three shop this very second. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] exparanoia:
That's odd. They should have the LTe enabled device right? GT-N7100 doesn't have LTE.
[Galaxy Note II General] jah:
The lady at T Mobile seemed to suggest they were awaiting a software upgrade!
[Galaxy Note II General] gmatharu12:
Just thought i'd share my experience with T-mobile and Three.

After having to wait 45 minutes to speak to a different customer representative too many times in the past 2 weeks, I decided to leave T-mobile and get my number transferred to Three. I got tons of different information from the upgrades team and the cancellations team; they are just a mess at the moment seriously - I lost my patience, I figured its not worth the 4G anyway.

Three have taken my order over the phone and assured me stock is ready to be shipped immediately, the lady I spoke to confirmed that it wasn't the 4G version but that their HSPA+ network would be more than fast enough and that their 'all-you-can-eat' tariffs really are unlimited (I can't believe she was telling me about HSPA+, I don't think anyone that knows they want a Note 2 isn't aware of 3.5G).
[Galaxy Note II General] jah:
Agreed that HSDPA+ is good. I managed 13.5mb download on my GT -N7100 on the T Mobile network!
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
If she meant a software upgrade to enable a N7100 to work on UK LTE bandwidths then do not part with your money until you have a written or email confirmation in your possession that you are buying the handset on the basis it will be UK 4G compatible & if it isn't that they will exchange it free of charge for one that is.

Because i think she lied.
[Galaxy Note II General] jah:
The user manual for the gt-n1705 mentions LTE while the user manaul for the GT-N7100 does not so perhaps I was given some misinformation :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
The sales advisors are so adverse to admitting they don't know something that they will just make things up.

More detailed information on their product could be had from just stopping a person in the street & asking them to say yes or no at random to your questions.
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
The lady at T-Mobile is a f***ing moron, then.
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
They all are at tmobile!!
[Galaxy Note II General] pjfriend:
So, I broke and went for the N7100. Very glad I did. It's a wonderful phone and I'm sure you'll be pleased with whatever you chose.

Three have been great so far and the network is very quick.
[Galaxy Note II General] Chrissssssss:
I think I'll see what happens tomorrow, see if the phone is available with T-Mob or not. If it isn't I might think about trying 3. Will they do better deals than available on their website? The deals I've seen with the pink network with 1.5GB were £31 per month. 3's deals are more and a charge for the phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] Pie1862:
I've got my T-Mobile note 2 turning up tomorrow. Excited for a little box of tricks. Doubt it's the 4G, but I can't see the benefits being worth it in the UK just yet.
[Galaxy Note II General] RambJoe:
You got it directly from T-mobile? When and how did you order?
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
Yes please tell coz they sell only the LTE version as far asmI'm aware
[Galaxy Note II General] Pie1862:
Sorry if I mislead.

It's a T-Mobile contract from buymobilephones.net and almost certainly isn't 4G. The only reason I think it's possible is because their T-Mobile stock was last in.

At the moment they only have stock to fill orders already placed. Ordered mine 10 days ago.

Also, it's T-Mobile UK, to avoid further confusion. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note II General] RambJoe:
Hmm, just went on their site, the Galaxy Note 2 is in stock for all other networks, but for T-mobile, it is "Stock Due Soon".
[Galaxy Note II General] Pie1862:
Yep, that worried me too, but.... they definitely got stock and mine has been dispatched. They told me they won't show as in stock until pre-orders have been fulfilled.

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

PS mobiles.co.uk have the same tariffs I think and also show in stock.
[Galaxy Note II General] Chrissssssss:
I saw that with Buymobilephones today and assumed it was because they are waiting f for T-Mobile LTze version stock. I might order tonight if they are sending out the N7100.
[Galaxy Note II General] Pie1862:
Like I said, they seem to be just fulfilling pre-orders so far.

I'll update tomorrow with which version I get. Also if it's unbranded etc.
[Galaxy Note II General] kempas:
Sorry, forget post...
[Galaxy Note II General] ash_c64:
I ordered my note 2 from t-mobile uk, lets see what happens. was told will get in 2 working days....
[Galaxy Note II General] RambJoe:
Anyone know how long it takes the stores to get the phones in compared to when they send them out for people who ordered by phone or online?

My local EE store said they get their deliveries on Wednesdays and Fridays, so hopefully they will have them in later today.
[Galaxy Note II General] pjfriend:
Apologies if patronising but mobiles.co.uk buy their own phones and pair them with contracts. The phones aren't branded or locked so there's often a chance you can get phones that won't usually appear on a network, or much earlier than the network will get them.
[Galaxy Note II General] BlackCatFTM:
Well, today is the day for T-Mobile Note 2 LTE dispatch if some of their reps are to be believed. I can't help but skeptical about this, some say Monday, some say 30th, some say when EE launches, some plead ignorant and others are still studying their anatomy to work out which bit is their arse and which bit is their elbow....

Will post again if I'm lucky enough to get a dispatch text message.

Would be interesting if anyone else is still waiting to upgrade if the stock is appearing on their infantry yet and what stories (aka BS) they spin today.
[Galaxy Note II General] zpiders:
A warning to anyone moving to T-mobile, I recently left T-Mobile and have to say that there 3G network was garbage. Very slow speeds and patchy coverage. I would not trust a company pushing 4G that can't get 3G right over a decade since it's release! You can actually check ofcoms comparison of 3G speeds in the uk and Orange and T-mobile are at the bottom!

I moved to Three (which cost more than T-Mobile's deal for the Note 2) and couldn't be happier. Web Pages load a lot faster on their network and coverage has been excellent.
[Galaxy Note II General] Burko:
T-Mobile UK SupportVerified ‏@TMobileUKhelp 17h @shirazs It's the Samsung - Galaxy Note II (N7100) that we have. Thanks ^Rory
[Galaxy Note II General] RambJoe:
Well I'm confused now...
[Galaxy Note II General] Chrissssssss:
I'd quite happily try out 3 for a couple of years but I don't want to pay the prices on their website and they only seem to be selling it directly at the moment. If Buymobilephones did it on 3 cheaper like other phones I'd go with that.
[Galaxy Note II General] Burko:
I'm going into T-Mobiles head office this afternoon, i'll hopefully walk out with a Note 2 LTE, or at least be able to give some info back here on what's going on.
[Galaxy Note II General] Pyr0x64:
Please do, that would be great, thanks Burko.

I'm contemplating cancelling my T-Mobile order and going elsewhere...
[Galaxy Note II General] olisun39:
The Note 2 seems to be in stock but there are hardly any offers for existing customers.
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
Just had a call from these cheifs asking me for payment. In stock and shipping now say tmobile uk. Theyre so slow
[Galaxy Note II General] Pie1862:
Got my note 2 from buymobiles. Unbranded titanium grey. Not much chance to play though as I'm at work. :(
[Galaxy Note II General] conceptgate:
Firstly, I've been monitoring the thread, but not chasing myself, so thanks for keeping me up to date with what is happening everyone.

Just got a call from T-Mobile regarding my Note II LTE order. They say they are finally in stock (and were late) and the guy was calling to take payment (for the phone), which they have done and I have received a confirmation email. They gave an estimated delivery of 3-4 working days however, said it might arrive Monday (earliest). I asked if they could expedite delivery (for a fee), however their courier doesn't do weekends apparently.

They said the next thing I should hear (via email I assume) is from the courier/t-mobile with a tracking number.
[Galaxy Note II General] pjfriend:
If LTE is important to you do make certain it's a N7105.
[Galaxy Note II General] ash_c64:
How comes the guy was calling to take payment for the phone? dont they take it automatically? thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] Burko:
Went in to head office....

No stock, they were quietly expecting it to come in today, but it hasnt.

It's fully on their system now though, they said that there isn't "loyalty discounts" as such, but there is some flexibility with the pricing for upgrade customers.

They receive stock on Mondays and Wednesdays, and they have no idea what they are going to get in each delivery until it arrives!
[Galaxy Note II General] BlackCatFTM:
Anyone who has upgraded heard anything yet?

Nothing for me so far. Resisting the temptation to call them incase I get someone incompetent or dodgy who manages to screw my order up. I have visions of them claiming the sale hadn't gone through and them canceling and re-adding it just to nab another figure for their personal sales target for example. Maybe I'm just getting paranoid with them now lol.
[Galaxy Note II General] conceptgate:
No, they used to take it automatcially, but they've stopped doing that in recent years as if they have made a mistake with the price and they take payment, then they must honor that price (in general)., whereas if they don't take payment until delivery it can be checked.
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
So you're a creeper just like I was. Welcome to the forum lol.
[Galaxy Note II General] olisun39:
They are talking crap... The agent tried to sell me the same tariffs as on their website and said there is is going to be no movement on the pricing,
[Galaxy Note II General] Burko:
Maybe the agent on the phone was talking crap to you?

The manager of the branch quoted me prices on a few different tariffs, they were cheaper than the ones on the website.
[Galaxy Note II General] olisun39:
These prices were not quoted to me by one agent but every retentions agent I spoke to (4 of them in total).

I didn't go for it because I don't know what EE's new tariffs are and how much I will have to pay extra.
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
All T-Mobile & Orange contract phones are fully (phone cost, price pr mnth, data allowance) negotiable in my experience

BUT... you have to not be (or come across as) desperate to get the phone.

:)
[Galaxy Note II General] Tinyk:
Just for peoples information I was looking to get a second moby and went with Note II on three cause i needed something with a descent speed for tethering as my T-mobile unlimited deal was so slow.

Got the 3 handset only to find its unlocked, didn't know they had stopped locking handsets or maybe it was just a batch. Really happy I did as I can see this handset replacing my i5 on T-mobile, I have to keep checking that its not piked up a wifi network all the time cause the speed is so good.

As for battery, well first thing I dug out the draw was car charger knowing I was going back to Android and i aint even plugged it in yet. Manage 8 hours streaming heart radio with a lot of calls and e-mails and still I aint gone to be with less than 35% battery left.

Hear rumours of T-mobile throttling unlimited data tariffs but I don't believe it cause they are so slow anyway that if they capped the speed they would have to turn data off to make it slower LOL.
[Galaxy Note II General] Burko:
So you phoned 4 times to retentions with no intention of upgrading?

We're all in the same boat really, until EE release their plans you wont know for sure the most cost effective way of getting the phone, but suffice it to say you're going to need at least a £30 a month contract with EE, so taking the Note 2 LTE on T-Mobile at less than this a month will be a false economy, because you'll pay more for the handset and end up on a higher tariff anyway.

I suppose you can believe who you want regarding the price of the Note 2, but I dont think EE will release their plans until the 29th-30th of October, so either take the hit as an early adopter and get it on T-mobile with the risk of overpaying, or wait until the 30th and see what EE come up with.
[Galaxy Note II General] jah:
T-mobile have stock now. I just ordered my Note 2 for delivery Monday or Tuesday next week.
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
100% agree. If your intending to use the 4G network its almost impossible to get the lowest price handset for your proposed useage without first seeing the 4G tariff prices.
[Galaxy Note II General] ash_c64:
Placed an order with t-mobile yestaday online, didnt hear anything so i just called them and finished my order on the phone. lady said theres a lot of back orders they were sorting out thats why i didnt hear anything sooner but she went ahead and put mine through for delivery in 2 working days. Also she siad there only a few left of the titanium greys.
[Galaxy Note II General] olisun39:
I call them 4 times because every time they promised somebody would call me back the next day... One guy even said I am not eligible for a upgrade...
[Galaxy Note II General] EmptyArea:
The combo of EE not giving out enough info, combined with Samsung not releasing the note 2 lte as a SIM free version (or to other sellers other than EE) coupled finally with them not releasing a 32gb version or greater has stopped me buying a note 2.

I'm thoroughly bummed out because I really want one. If they fixed just one of these issues is plunge, but for now it's all too up in the air and I'm jealous of people who don't care and bought anyway.
[Galaxy Note II General] Burko:
Looks like the 23rd is the day to get info on EE's price plans.
[Galaxy Note II General] wrapper:
Argh, T-Mobile titanium is out of stock already. I should have back ordered it.
[Galaxy Note II General] BlackCatFTM:
What a painful afternoon,

After hearing nothing back from Mondays "upgrade backorder" (if that's the right term) I called back and waited 50 minutes in line to be told "Oh, I can see on the system that is showing as an offer and has not been ordered". That despite me giving my card details on Monday and being told it would take 7-10 days to arrive... anyway...

Placed a true upgrade with T-Mobile and got an upgrade reference so looks legit this time. They are telling me to expect it on Tuesday so looks like a 30 mile round trip to the depot on Tuesday night for me. At least I called up and got it put right before the stock of the white note 2's ran out otherwise god knows how long I'd of been waiting without contact from them.
[Galaxy Note II General] RambJoe:
What number are you all calling?

edit: I've managed to order the Titanium Grey, it is out of stock but it should come in on Monday apparently.
[Galaxy Note II General] jah:
And T-mobile told me the model number is GT-N7100! I will confirm when the phone arrives next week.
[Galaxy Note II General] wrapper:
Depends who you speak to, the guy I asked said their delivery days are Wednesday and Friday. Yawn, all this waiting..
[Galaxy Note II General] RambJoe:
My local EE store said their delivery days are those, I was hoping where ever these phones are sent from receives them more regularly.
[Galaxy Note II General] mrvanx:
I guess the question on my mind is:

Is the handset marketed as the LTE version ACTUALLY the 7105?? Tempted to just get the thing but if it turns up as a 7100 its a hassle to return etc...
[Galaxy Note II General] ash_c64:
Same thing going though my head, just got to wait till monday or tuesday to find out I guess. It is advertised as 4g ready so it needs to be 4g ready! Otherise t-mobile will have alot of returns
[Galaxy Note II General] mrvanx:
Yes it would be a major balls-up for them if it is the normal 7100. Hence why I am about to call them :)
[Galaxy Note II General] mrvanx:
OK order placed. Looks like I have to go into a store and pick it up.

£200 for the handset and same contract I am on now (think its 18 months).

Will report back ofcourse once I pick it up. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] ash_c64:
How do you pick it up from store/when? Did you get any info about the 4g?
[Galaxy Note II General] mrvanx:
I head into the nearest tmobile store and state it has been set up on my account. Just have to Pay for the phone in-store at the pre-agreed price.

I figure thats not too bad since I can check it is indeed the 7105 BEFORE I pay. This was because they were out of stock for delivery. I get the feeling when I go into the store tomorrow it will be out of stock also but its a start!?

Good evening all.

Sorry if this is a stupid noob question....

I want to go back to stock because I have a little yellow spot on my screen so I can send it for repair.

I am rooted but with stock-rom, nothing changed and with Nandroidbackup.

And maybe I want an official JB update..

Thnx....

Send with love and Android
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Download the correct RUU, if it's not the correct one, you could brick your phone. But if you're on stock, just do:

fastboot oem lock

But if the phone doesn't boot, then do fastboot oem lock, then run the ruu. Btw there are MANY detailed threads, just search, you'll find more info :)

I have tried before to present with the direct cables connection HDMI connector + HDMI to VGA but it is not workable at all, just see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En4O-6MMk5c, too much hassle.

With the Allshare Cast dongle, it is so free to present and express yourself.

I will check it that can work with my wife's Galaxy Tab 10.1.

There are more than two Skyrim guides on the Play Store, but none look very good. I wish I could help -- I'd love a good guide app too.

Seems like all they do is download a bunch of files from GameFAQs or elsewhere and bundle it all up in an app. I wish someone would do that with UESP, but their search sucks and they basically have "too much" information. It's hard to find what you need.
[Android Apps and Games] pizz0wn3d:
The apps are great, except for the obnoxious ads. I'd rather pay a dollar or two and not have to deal with that nonsense. I found the old appbrain market link, turns out it was a paid app ($1). I'd love to give them $1 for it, but they pulled it from the market and now it's only on the iPhone App Store.

How do I check what is wrong with it ?

I have tried to install new stock rom from odin, both GB and ICS,

I can enter both download mode and recovery mode.

But if I just turn on the phone the "samsung galaxy note" screen never go further.

Would be REALLY happy if anyone have an clue or anything.

I can also addd a bootloader with odin.

But when trying roms, it just take like forever on the NAND WRITE.
