pardon my ignorance, but isn't the "international" version GSM...and sprint's, obviously gonna be CDMA? and as such, no SIM card?

---at least i've always assumed that SIM cards is something GSM phones use, while CDMA phones do not.
[Galaxy Note II General] achusaysblessyou:
You're right, but some CDMA phones have radios that support at least EDGE on GSM so you can still text and make phone calls overseas (and if you unlock, you could run them on Tmo and AT&T).

However, the question is if the radios will even support the EDGE GSM bands... probably not though.
[Galaxy Note II General] nerdydesi:
All of Verizon's LTE phones have a SIM card slot and all of their recent phones also have GSM/HSPA radios for global roaming. I believe some can even run on T-Mobile and ATT's frequencies if you are lucky. But LTE will be Verizon only.
[Galaxy Note II General] iwin2000:
would it be possible to flash a Verizon Note 2 to Sprint in order to have one with a SIM card?
[Galaxy Note II General] katylawrence:
There are so much of competition in market, they skipping features users can easily find alternative. Bad for users but too bad for manufactures. They should understand :confused:

Not sure if you saw, but someone has figured out how to remove the embedded SIM in the Photon Q and replace it.

Yea, but whose brave soul gonna do that on not even a month old GN2. And that's beside the point. Seriously, to me it seem like it would cost the manufacturor even more to make the SIM embeded than regular one.
[Galaxy Note II General] 00mred00:
my guess Is That and it decreases fraud. I.e. new accounts created simply to obtain discounted phones that can be used overseas ...then the accounts go bad
[Galaxy Note II General] achusaysblessyou:
I mean how many sprint phones even support GSM EDGE bands?

I don't use Sprint, so I don't know for a fact, but don't their phones usually only run on CDMA (I've only ever heard of Verizon CDMA "world-phones")
[Galaxy Note II General] someone0:
I know that the old Touch Pro 2(wm6) and Photon 4G both have dual GSM/CDMA chip in them and they both have SIM slot.
[Galaxy Note II General] Vladabeast:
whats the significance in not having a sim card cause it seems like a good thing to me. unless its like tmobile and att network where you can get gsm phones
[Galaxy Note II General] someone0:
The significant isn't about whether it have SIM or not. I mean for most people in the US I think we can get by w/o it. I mean it's like once every year or two that people would go outside the country and can make use of it. So it wouldn't be like a final decision whether to get one w/ or w/o SIM. And you are right there are also AT&T and T-mobile. But I can say the for some people it's about the network in their local, while for other it may simply be about not going back to the service they have bad experience with. To me it's about cost, since I'm a Sprint SERO Premium account owner. But very, it's more about why walking the low path? The phone would have been technically capable of it, the chipset, modem, antana support it. This is more about why purposely redesign it to lock it down to a specific network, greed, basically.
[Galaxy Note II General] KB112:
Yes, the Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 most certainly had a SIM card slot. I had a few of them before making the jump to android with my EVO 4G. It was a nice feature to have on a "Business" phone, which is what the TP2 was geared towards. The productivity of the Note 2 also can be geared for Business users, a SIM slot would be of great use.
[Galaxy Note II General] Vladabeast:
Ohh okk that makes sense. Cause I never go out of the country so its not that big of a deal for me. But I guess I'd you travel a lot it would be better to have one

[Galaxy Note II General] Azptyanimal:
Frustrating

Apparently Verizon figured out how to do it properly as they previously have had CDMA, but now allow removable SIM cards for their LTE world-phones. Sprint is now the only provider that locks their phones down like this- it's very frustrating. I am paying for a brand new device that is inherently compatible as a world-phone, but I must buy a separate device to use over seas so that I don't get raped with Sprint's international calling/data plans. RIDICULOUS! These kind of tactics are out of the apple playbook- limit the options of your customers, so you can squeeze em.
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
I really am constantly surprised that you guys let the US cellphone companies rape you so much. Locked down phones, outmoded CDMA technology, being charged to RECEIVE calls and texts... None of that shizzle would fly in the EU...
[Galaxy Note II General] Azptyanimal:
I don't know if all the US radio bands would be the same between Verizon and Sprint. Also, I don't think Sprint would activate an ESN assigned to Verizon. Not having the sim removable also allows sprint to collect $36 (non-waivable) activation fee every time someone switches devices, instead of just sliding your sim card into your new device.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tidbits:
They don't charge that unless you upgrade. If you don't use your upgrade then you won't be charged.
[Galaxy Note II General] randy2:
For the savings I get per month over Verizon I can deal with the internal sim
[Galaxy Note II General] someone0:
Talking about Verizon, as a side tracking I just listen to the Security Now podcast and they were talking about Verizon and AT&T defaulting your sharing of your CPNI. At least Sprint haven't get that low yet.
[Galaxy Note II General] Azptyanimal:
My buddy activated an evo purchased on Craigslist, they charged him the $36 even though he didn't use an upgrade for the phone?
[Galaxy Note II General] someone0:
I brought Photon 4G off the ebay and have no problem swaping the phone via the web. In fact I swap out between Photon and Epic from time to time and never get charge. Maybe you get charge if you do it via the phone or maybe it's because new phone, but used phone is ok?
[Galaxy Note II General] Tidbits:
Was it used or open box? When I was with Sprint before they dropped me for too much roaming I always switched between devices and was never charged. It may be a new thing since I haven't been a customer for 3 years.
[Galaxy Note II General] chriskwarren:
A phone locked like this will have a lower resale value if you decide to sell as you would be restricted to who you could sell it to. Also, if you have family on another carrier you cold not give you phone to them either.
[Galaxy Note II General] KB112:
The only time the upgrade fee should be charged is upon first time activation of a new device.
[Galaxy Note II General] eitama:
Why should you not purchase your next phone from a different provider if you don't want to be limited by sprint's idiotic move?
[Galaxy Note II General] Azptyanimal:
Don't want to pay cancel fees for the other 3 lines on my family plan, otherwise I would
[Galaxy Note II General] 00mred00:
It isn't supposed to happens that way bit I know it does.

If one buys the phone and activates it online via esn swap then no...no fee
[Galaxy Note II General] eitama:
Well. I partially understand you.

Btw, in israrl things were pretty much the same - except prices were high. You would have to commit to plans and they kept chabging stuff all the time - until the ministery of communication created several laws.

Laws preventing any plans with commitments by cellular/phone/tv/internet providers. There are no commitments allowed by law.

And prices never change until you make a change.

Then some company called golan telecom turned the market around. They published a 25$ plan that gave us unlimited calling texting browsing + free international calls to 40 states.

Prices dropped in all cell providers because people started migrating silly. Also there is a law allowing to migrate with your number free of charge.

So when golan telecom appeared I paid the fine at Orange - and left for this awesome company. I think you guys in the us need a revolution in that area.
[Galaxy Note II General] someone0:
Stop rubbing it in, we know the FCC and the government don't do **** here to protect customers from greedy telecom.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tidbits:
Would could protect ourselves. We have more power than the government yet we keep giving more and more of that power.
[Galaxy Note II General] Azptyanimal:
That's funny, my wife and i met a really nice couple from isreal a month ago, and they told me about that plan! Crazy, wish our government would put a stop to it, but I don't think it'll ever happen.

Hi.

I thought on sharing my findings on how i solved getting my infinity to work with my led-tv.

I have tried all kind of stuff before this but i have a stubborn samsung that doesn't want to recognize the tab.

I got some tips from within xda that infinity lacks the 5v for hdmi out so the tv can sence that something is hocked up.

i bought a Andersson HDMI Switch 4x1 that has a poweradaptor to try this out.

It wasn't an easy go by just hooking things up.

so i tried hocking my laptop up to the switch and got the picture on the tv, then i connected the tab on the second hdmi port and the infinity recognized that the hdmi was attached, i tried to switch ports with the remote to the hdmi switch but that failed, so i disconnected the cable to the laptop and VOILA i got the tv to show the tablets screen on the TV screen, i can now scale the picture and everything works great.

If i leave the switch powered on and connected to the tv i can connect and disconnect the tab without problems.

If i power of the switch i have to go through the same procedure again to fool the tv to recognize that samething is hooked up to the hdmi port.

Hope this helps some of you with the same problem and stubborn tv sets. :cowboy:

Best regards

Mackis
[Asus Transformer TF700] DavidHart:
Weird. I have a powered monoprice HDMI switch connected to a Denon Receiver, which connects to my Sony TV. I've had no problems with the TF700 Infinity being recognized. I also took the Infinity on a cruise and connected it to a Samsung 720p LCD TV with no problems. I believe that this would discount the theory that the Infinity doesn't have the right HDMI signal/voltage.

I assume that you tried changing HDMI cables? Perhaps the TF700 that you have has a defective HDMI port.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mackis:
________

That was my first guess but after i read here on xda that even the cables can be defective i bought one more, then i tried different manifactures LG and philips lcd-tv worked with the infinity without problems, so i guess i have a tv that is too new. I contacted Samsung and they are looking in to it. Not that i have high hopes, for now im a happy camper solving it this way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DavidHart:
It's weird that the TV would recognize other HDMI devices but not the Infinity. At least you have it working. :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mackis:
Yes i know, i think its weird to, but i think its the 5v issue that my samsung model don't sence.

On the LG i have to change hdmi port with the remotecontrol to the tv for it to work or power it down and up again otherwise its not working. On the samsung lcd on my work i have no problems at all but it is older tv models. If i could get hold of some other tv model that anyone here have problems hooking up the infinity with i would be happy to try this solution and see if it works.

Hey everyone,

I've noticed about 500 new posts a day saying, "I'm rooted and go an update notification. It's probably JB, should I take it?"

I'm here to help you out.

1. It's not JB. When it does come out you'll see people by the names of Freeza, zanderman, MrTimz, TEAMERA, clark44, etc get very excited and post about how awesome it is that JB is out. We'll be more than happy to at that time. Googling tech blogs and such will also help you stay on top of developing news of this nature.

2. If you have a custom recovery go ahead and accept. The installation will fail and everything will be fine upon reboot. If you have a stock recovery you can update but will probably lose root. Root again using normal methods.

3. The only JB out is leaked build that you would have to install normally.

4. Feel free to flash these builds to try them out and stop asking if you should. It's safe but ultimately your decision, not ours.

5. Stop posting in the dev section. Those of you who can't yet, it's for good reason, not to be mean. The only things you should post in the dev section are Roms, kernels and modifications to Android that you created.

6. If you aren't sure of something and don't want to sound silly, PM an experienced member. I've never had a question posed to me on here that I wasn't happy to help answer within my abilities.

7. Enjoy the place but please stop cluttering it up with the same question over and over. The search button will reveal that you probably weren't the first to ask your question. If you are, then kudos, feel free to post it in the Q & A section to be handled.

Thanks! Love ya guys!

Hi all,

I really like Samsung's provided built-in email app over anything else.

Just like my subject line states, is there a way to side load it.

I actually want it on both the Nexus 7 and my Asus TF300T tablet.

Right now I have to assume that what I have is the phone version.

And there might be a different version on some of Samsung's newer tablets.

So I don't have access to those versions.

I guess to start, I need to know if it is even possible?

And if it is, how would you accomplish the side load.

I have tried just copying the app, which I assumed was only one API.

But I received an error. If I remember was access denied?

Its been sometime since I experimented with it.

Thanks for an help or opinions.
