Lol, it's not because of the hardware. It's because the OS doesn't multitask and pauses everything when the user touches the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
I have Linux machines that multitask just fine. The point is that at the end of the day, the software can support multitasking better than ever, BECAUSE OF THE SMOKING HARDWARE.

Do you realize our phone hardware is better than a lot of PC's out there today? It is hilarious, but at the same time, there should be some performance that comes with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] planoman:
How is the wifi reception and speed. I saw a review where it was not as good as the SGSIII on the T mobile model.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ekerbuddyeker:
I have an unlocked TMOB version with at&t sim and everything works except LTE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 3_D:
Please try this and let me know if it works!

1) With phone on, take off back cover and press your SIM card so it releases from the spring. It won't come all the way out as it's blocked by the battery. This seems fine - I didn't bother trying to force it out as I didn't want to break anything...

2) Once you see the message that the SIM card is removed, go to the dialer and dial *#2263#

3) You should see a menu with band selections. The current setting is "Automatic". If you switch to "GSM All", you will be EDGE (2G). If you switch to "WCDMA All", you will be on HSPA+ (3G, though AT&T and others call it 4G) and you will have lte too

4) Press the SIM card back into place until it clicks. For whatever reason the phone will not recognize it until you reboot. Upon reboot you should see your new setting in effect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
It's not that easy. Assuming the LTE radio is working, you'd also have to use the AT&T 'pta' APN. In order for the pta APN to work, your account/SIM has to be properly provisioned for LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mr mystery:
OP can you move the Apps to SD card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] thomasj5:
Not directly afaik but there are 3rd party apps such as "move apps - app 2 SD"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ekerbuddyeker:
So I tried the sim trick and instill see 4g. I also tried that APN (my sim is already provisioned for LTE) but it quickly returned to the default APN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
I'd like to know this as well. Thanks

BTW: I did play with the T-Mobile version today and was quickly blown away. Coming from an Iphone 4S, I love how it felt in the hand. Couldn't play with it too long as the guy was trying to sell me one. My AT&T version can't here soon enough. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Do the international note 2 cases fit the att version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mr mystery:
yes, every variant is the same size. use the waiting time to get your accessories delivered so you have them for the 9th and don't stuck paying retail. That's what I am doing. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Same thing here. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
So I am assuming same screen protectors as well? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
Would you install DropBox from the AT&T Note2 to see if you get the 50GB with a newly created account? :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dropbox.android

Also curious how far out of NYC in the suburbs you are picking up LTE & your speed experiences overall?

-Thanks:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ekerbuddyeker:
Is there a root for tmob?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] netnerd:
you dont need to create a new account, just log on to your account. when dropbox detected you on note2, it' automatically give your 50gb free for 2 years. this apply to international n7100 note2. not sure about att note2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Note 2:
Hi guys. Great forum. I am sooooo looking forward to walking away from apple and getting on the note 2. I was wondering if the AT&T model is going to be the forum to post in for all of us Canadians who are on bell telus and Rogers. I think all three up here will be using the same model as AT&T?

Thx again for the great forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] id10terrordfw:
Very probable since they will be identical down to radio bands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slaydog:
There has been some debate on if the Note 2 has Gorilla Glass or not. Could you test it? ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] esincho:
There's no debate, it has it, case closed..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slaydog:
I was just kidding, lol, but good to know...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
it has gorrila glass...No way would anyone be willing to test it..lmao
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZedZardoz:
Seen the CNET torture test where they drop an fracture it.

A little disappointing, but goes to show, even the best glass can still break if it falls right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sass86:
At the event did they announce when or if we are getting the 32/64gb versions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theraker007:
Can anyone who has a note II comment on the battery life? I will be coming from the GS3, I was unable to get through a day on one full charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Artimus009:
Everyone's battery life is going to be different...all devices are not made equal and people will use their devices differently.

On your sgs3...stock ROM and kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wtharp2:
32 GB / 64 GB Availability & FM Radio

Does the AT&T version have the FM radio? Also, as Sass86 asked, do you have any further information about 32 & 64 GB versions?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theraker007:
on any rom, and any kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Vandam500:
I know for a fact the Note 2 wipes the floor battery wise against the S3. I've seen screenshots where it lasts 2 days with over 8 hours screen on time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbgeek:
I've used 5 different iPhones and well as 3 different iPads and all of them had some degree of lag. It's an electronic device. Anyone who thinks that it should never experience lag has expectations that will never be fulfilled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
I have never seen rotation lag on the iPhone 4S, 5, or the iPad 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbgeek:
My wife has an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2. Both have occasional rotation lag. It's not a regular event and it's not a lengthy lag (a la my ancient Xperia X10), but it's still there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] barry99705:
If you smack a diamond with a hammer it will shatter as well. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cswithxda:
Do you guys think we're able to install int'l firmware on i-317? I'd like a CSC of open germany or something so we get timely firmware update availability. Or are you guys willing to get bent by AT&T's control on the firmware?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
Most likely, the answer is "no."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sass86:
If a developer modifies the firmware for the specific hardware, yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
Where has the OP been with answering the questions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
Good Q, I can't believe the tech blogs didn't address this..but I have not seen a US carrier list anything but the 16GB yet unfortunately so I wouldn't recommend holding your breath..:rolleyes:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cswithxda:
I guess the n7100 is the one to go for me now :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosmohtac:
Agreed!! The n7100 is the best one to get. You will get better battery Life and HSPA+ is plenty fast for me as long as I have "limited data". Even If I had unlimited data, I can stream Netflix with no problem, and the international versions almost always get updates ahead of the North American versions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonicthoughts:
not sure I understand why you would want n7100 vs. att. What happens when they start to migrate HSPA+ to LTE?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
It'll be many years before they turn off HSPA+. First they need to actually get LTE online on their entire network. Considering the fact that there are still areas without HSPA+ service yet (they are still plain 3G), I wouldn't be too concerned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] baudilus:
In my experience, the iPhone is not lag free.

At all.

They just seem to put priority on the Launchpad (their home screen) - so that the transitions are very smooth. Also, let's not discount the fact that the iPhone UI is pretty much as bare-bones as you can get - it's a grid, not re-sizeable, of icons - and there are a limited number of things you can go straight into from that launchpad - notifications, running apps list, and re-arraning icons. That's pretty much it.

With Android, you can go directly into many different actions from the home screen - to make it as "smooth" as iOS requires a lot more buffering.

Just consider it a side effect of how much work the phone is actually doing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xeper:
I develop web apps for iPad (2nd and 3rd gen so far) and I notice home screen lag now and then. I don't see where all this "never lags" garbage comes from. I think it's placebo effect.

The lag on my iDevices is at least equal to or as noticeable that on my One X (CM10), especially if I'm downloading/updating a lot of apps at the same time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
You are mistaken. As everyone knows, iOS devices do not lag. They do feature iLag, however, which is a feature.

I think it was Steve Jobs himself who stood on stage in front of all the iSheep and bragged about how everyone wanted iLag and Apple was bringing it to them. I clearly remember how he described it as a subtle and delicate pause before transitioning to a new screen, giving the user a more consistant look at their previous application. This, as all people know, is better than the harsh quick transitions that lesser mobile devices have.

In fact, I'm pretty sure they've patented the technology and I'm surprised they haven't starting suing Samsung, HTC, Motorola and Google over the obvious theft of the Apple invented technology.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lucke:
just want to double check that the battery is removable? i can't stand phones that don't let me remove the battery. thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Artimus009:
Its removable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] suprstar29:
can you take a picture of the back of the phone so we can se if it has pins for wireless charging?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] truth77:
Two things no one noticed and I'm the conspiracy theorist so I check everything. The first picture he showed off the back of the phone had AT&T symbol on it, every other pictures you showed had to separate backs and none of them had an AT&T symbol on them. Number two he hasnt answer the question in 3 days! Ran out of different pics on the Internet I assume?! either way all of you should know that this phone is going to be the best phone that comes out until the s4 or No 3 so lets all just be happy with it I'm playing have fun with the roms!

and as for the lag issue with the iPhone once you do anything to the iPhone to make it actually have features which would be jailbreaking it you know that there is going to be lag because now the phone is actually using more of its potential which is what Apple doesnt wanted it to do 90 percent of the things that jailbreaking would allow it to do because then it will show the flaws in the operating system by allowing it to actually do regular things that Android does already! throw widget on a jailbroken iPhone, put SB rotator on a jailbroken iPhone, put any major tweak into an iPhone and tell me how much more laggy and inefficient the phone becomes!? not just from the development but from the intensity of being truly pushed!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosmohtac:
In Post #4 the OP states that the original back cover has the branding but the flip case cover has no branding at all. If that's what you were referring to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
iLag:laugh: , I've had family hand me their iOS devices experiencing iCrash as well (I've taught them the iReboot feature) although in fairness it's not as often as Android devices trying to do multiple complex tasks.. I have been frustrated by Android lag at times so I defintely welcome Project Butter etc..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gore785:
Ok for the iPhone lag. I gotta admit so far I haven't seen a lag but what I have seen is the iPhone reboot a couple of times. I don't have one my gf and most of her co workers do. Most of them started crashing after updating to the new software. So seeing that the iPhone without jailbreak will crash like that makes me not want an iPhone.. but I gotta admit most phones have flaws and can crash. Not just apple.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nuwayman:
This is tough decision. International or the att version. Lte or just h+. Do we know yet if multi view is in the att version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrkevo3000:
It looks like the messaging app from the note 1 is visually more appealing than the note 2.. Like how the note 1 threads looks and the actual layout of the typing box, looks like in the note 2 they have those ugly borders that don't use the whole screen. Can someone with or had a note 1 chime in on this.. they should've kept the note 1 messaging app look..:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] natboy:
I believe they said it won't be available until December timeframe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
Who is "they"?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr. Droid:
Have you tried rooting the device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinbeau:
As Gary said above, who is 'they' and what won't be available until December? My Note 2 from AT&T will be here next Thursday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nuwayman:
Think he's talking about a possible update for the note. The note for att most likely will not have multi view out of the box. Will need a firmware update like the international recently did for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiderjerusalem:
probably having my chain pulled but got offer an "at&t note ii from the release last week" on craigslist today, going to meet the guy tomorrow around 1, if its legit I will be here for questions and system dumps and so on. I doubt its real but at the same time the guy seamed legit, we will see tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nuwayman:
Hopefully it's legit. That would be cool. Have it before everyone else. Wonder though if it was a stolen one could they find out? Good luck tomorrow. I'm still torn about getting one and also which one I want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiderjerusalem:
yeah Im pretty thorough about getting info when I craigslist these phones, if its stolen I will know who to tell them to go get. It seems more weird to me he only wanted 100 on top of the gs3 for an unreleased note 2, but I guess we will see tomorrow, all we can do is hope its legit and I will do what I can to throw info to the developers ahead of time if its real.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Note 2:
Good question

Does anyone know who is able to unlock the AT&T version? I cant seem to find it on anyone's unlock list?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] truth77:
He showed both backs in those pics pay attention.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinbeau:
Here is post #4. This is what nosmohtac meant. No need to be nasty, we're all paying attention.

I was trying to install one of drewgarens touchwiz roms. touchwiz milestone 5 firefly i believe. not the most recent one because i was too lazy . boy was that a mistake. everything was going smoothly until it booted and it got stuck on boot. I thought no big deal just go into recovery and use a backup. until i did so and recovery was gone and there was only download mode. I have spent the whole afternoon trying to fix it and none of it has worked. I tried flashing the stock rom and it as well got stuck on boot. I looked at all the AT&t relevant ones and also the international versions. so all in all is there anyway to fix this and has anyone had the same issue? i was flashing from cyanogenmod 10 m1 to the drewgaren rom btw. I can also go to download mode. I tried to flash stock but it still gets stuck on boot. log. I flashed the ATT boot logo and it did not work. all of which were flashed through odin.

any thanks in advance is greatly appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Randomacts:
I think you can flash back to stock with just download mode + odin
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stuart26:
I already tried that. It still get stuck on the Boot logo
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Randomacts:
I can't help you but I wish you luck.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Apocalypse487:
Unplug your device. Hold the power button to turn it off. Hold volume up, home, and power. It should go to recovery. If you do the same thing with volume down instead of up, you can get into download mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
Sounds like you need a recovery...try this

Follow the instructions and you should be able to flash the recovery and continue on with what you were doing. Remember to wipe really good when going from aosp back to any stock based ROM. They are completely different and will cause boot loops if you don't wipe.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stuart26:
I cannot enable usb debugging
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
Crap...there are Odin flashable versions of cwm floating around you'll need to find one of those. If you haven't found one I'll post one up when I get home.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
K I made it home lol. I'll attach a Odin flashable cwm, it's an older one but it'll get you a recovery, I hope. I just tried it on my phone with Odin, 3.07 both with usb debugging enabled and disabled on my phone and it worked both times. Crap keep getting errors uploading right to xda servers, I'll drop box it in a minute.

Ok here we go Odin cwm--> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v4.tar.md5

Newest twrp --> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/twrp2.3.1install.zip

I'll add the newest twrp for you lol. Flash the cwm with odin, should work and then the twrp is a zip you can flash in cwm.

Hope this helps get you a recovery.

Remember in Odin use only PDA and only have auto reboot checked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stuart26:
This may sound like a stupid question but what boxes do i tick in odin?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
After your hooked up and Odin is open under the options on the left side check only Auto Reboot. On the right under files check PDA and use that button to browse your computer and find the cwm you downloaded from my dropbox. Then just hit start on the bottom of the Odin window and let it finish, your phone should reboot when its done. It will get stuck again like you described in your first post but pull the battery, put it back in and boot into recovery using vol up,home and power buttons. That should (if everything flashed OK) put you into cwm 5.5.0.4. Once there wipe data/factory reset then restore the back up you mentioned in your original post, that should get you running again.

If something has happened to your backup then you could try the stock rooted stuff here , just pick the one for your carrier and follow the instructions. :highfive:

I was able to get it into recovery but i realized i did not have my sd card in so i turned it off and put my sd card in. unfortunately i was not able to get it back into recovery i tried flashing it again with the sd card in and no luck
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
That's odd. Couple of stupid questions on my part just to make sure, you had the right button combo, and, you released the buttons soon as the splash screen came on? Can you still get into download mode? Oh and did you do the wipes while in recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stuart26:
oh my gosh THANK YOU SOOOMUCH. I was worried i would have to take it to at&t ill be sure to press the thanks button.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
I take it you got your phone working lol. Glad I could help a little. Little advice, anytime you switch to a different type of ROM (aosp to stock based or the other way around) make sure you wipe data/factory reset before flashing anything. It will save you problems in the long run.

Oh and could you go back and edit your original post and just add solved in brackets to the title for people in trouble looking for info.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
Depending on which stock ROM you flashed with odin you should now have a recovery, if not then something isn't right. The full bone stock ROM should have the factory 3e recovery, and the root injected stock ROM should have some version of CWM recovery. A factory reset will most likely fix your boot loop, if there is no recovery flash the rooted stock ROM that matches your device from this guide.
