Yeah it just depends on your personal preference. I have tried a few browsers I like. Opera, Maxthon, and Chrome are pretty good. Personally my favorite is Dolphin. If you install Dolphin Browser + Dolphin Jetpack it makes browsing super fast!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbCentral:
Thanks for the input, I have been looking for new browsers as well. I have only tried Chrome and it works pretty well, will need to give Dophin a try.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmheel:
Thank You all for responding, will try some of the browsers suggested.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phantom9x:
I was just pondering this subject myself. :silly:

I've found the tab syncing in chrome very handy, other than that it seems over-rated I like the stock browser's look and it has a cool full screen mode with a pretty nifty quick controls option that replaces the address bar and controls with a side swipe thumb menu. sadly I haven't found a good option for flash compatibility.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
Chrome is the best browser in my opinion. I really love the minimal/clean look that transitions well between the mobile and desktop versions of Chrome. And it's faster that all the other browsers I've tried. It does use a bit more RAM than other browsers but 512 mb is more than enough to multitask with it.

[Motorola Photon 4G] LinkSlayer64:
I'm just curious what type of boot speed people are getting from their roms.

See I used a CM7 based rom for a long while, and it got great (re)boot speed, but I switched to peetr_'s for more stability (specifically the camera)

However, (these are not exact) his rom seems to take around 2 minutes to boot, its a bit frustrating, though not hugely, I'm just curious if something is wrong with my setup or maybe the files.

Feel free to post your boot speeds for any other roms too, just in case anyone has this question later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
All roms I've used (all of the Rom available) have had a 10-20 second boot time after the first boot. Have you an mods on your setup?
[Motorola Photon 4G] LinkSlayer64:
What type of mods are we talking about? If its like the ics theme flashed to peetrs rom, then yes (just today I might add so it can have nothing to do with the speed) other than that, nope.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Each stock based rom booting time is related to the number of installed apps. There is a feature, that checks all apps for libraries and maybe something else. I haven't found, how to turn off this feature.
[Motorola Photon 4G] LinkSlayer64:
Thanks for that info peetr, that would make perfect sense (I used a flash with no additional apps for about a day, the difference was quite clear)
[Motorola Photon 4G] InsanePostman:
Mine takes about a minute to get to the lock screen then an additional 10-15sec for rest of OS/launcher to load fully. I have Planter's ICS theme on top of Peetr_s v20 rom along with the bravia engine, beats audio, and holo locker installed. I also have about 50-60 apps installed but am not quite sure which ones need to be loaded in any way during start up. The bone stock v20 rom was much quicker though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Akhileshjj:
One question off the topic. you have mentioned that u have holo locker also installed do you have the issue of getting two lockscreens (i.e after unlocking the holo locker the default locker shows up) ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
My boot time is 35 seconds. Couldn't be prouder. This is JB 4.1.2 with a ton of apps/games. It's not meant to be optimized. It's just good. The other phone is my wife's, unmodified Electrify. Boots in 1 minute 54 seconds. This is the superior performance Motorola says is better than ICS. Because 2 minute boot times are cool, haha. (Actually 2 minutes ain't bad, they never need to be rebooted... 35 seconds is just so much better.)
[Motorola Photon 4G] InsanePostman:
when i first boot my phone it doesnt show up unless i let it sit at the lock screen for about 10 seconds. i'd imagine that this happens because it is in fact an app that needs to load before it will override the stock lock screen. now on the other hand if i have a security pattern that i am using to unlock the phone, the security screen THEN the holo locker would show up everytime. i simply disable my security pattern unless i'm going out for the night or something.

If this has been asked forgive me but I was wondering if we had access to stock image from a Developer VZW GSIII couldn't we pull

the unlocked bootloader from the packahe and flash to a regular VZW GS3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] grin0048:
Why would we need to do that when we have an unsecured bootloader that we know works?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alquimista:
NO

Invisiblek has it up on goo.im, but don't flash it. There's also a thread on r00tz.

Adam's "Casual" tool is the best way to go for an unlocked bootloader for now.

Also, no one has tried flashing the dev bootloader to a non-dev GS3. And no one recommends doing so.

Speak for yourself... It's not coming anywhere near my machine until Metro is gone. I've tried ClassicShell and it's ok, but I'm not really to become a statistic that says it's ok for the removal of user choice (whether to use Metro or not).
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
Actually he speaks for most of the competent user base of this forum, you know, the Windows 8 forum.

Windows 8 is what its is and that isn't going to change in the next couple of days including the funky new efficient interface, but you are right, you do have a choice, as do we all, ill stand by mine on this forum, the Windows 8 forum, the Windows 8 OS that has "metro" built in, the windows 8 you have chosen to not want and you can stand by that choice.... just Mind the door on the way out ;)
[Windows 8 General] nnahu:
if u dont like the metro interface.. why update to Windows 8?
[Windows 8 General] elementaldragon:
Like i've seen someone else say.... people have to look at it a different way than "Oh, Microsoft just f*cked up the desktop with sh*tty Metro". They didn't. Metro is basically the Start menu.... the same place that everyone normally had to go to launch an app if they didn't have a shortcut on the desktop to being with.
[Windows 8 General] drupad2drupad:
Not entirely true, but you can surely look at it this way. But those who say MSFT ****ed up are essentially the same bunch who moaned about XP, Vista and Windows 7. You can't win them. They'll moan and sell their kidneys to buy Apple products and then moan there and cycle goes on.

Hey Devs, got an idea:

what if there were a notification bar toggle that would switch whether the system remembers default actions such as clicking a play store link / URL / specific file type thus when off would bring up the select app menu and when on would re-remember your prefs?

Thats not a direct answer. I didn't find it in the forums, I searched it twice. This isn't my first time here on the site. I've done this quite a few times, Thats why I specifically stated, "I've done this before". All I needed was a logical answer. I'm not going to wait around and hope someone can get to it and keep searching to see if has been added that just adds frustration to my life. I'm looking for a simple answer, and judging by what I'm gathering the issue hasn't either come up yet, or Its not as valid as others. So I'll take it upon myself to Root and Modify this phone.

i need help guys im wanna buy the galaxy note 2 from tmobile

but i want nto know if i can put the 50 dollar plan plus international calling

so how is the prepaid plan internet.,, i really dont care cuz most of the time im on wifi

and also can i add international calling plan to prepaid

thanx
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Tmobile doesn't care what phone you use. I'm not a prepaid customer so the questions regarding prepaid services would be best asked of a T-Mobile Customer Service Rep as the device you have doesn't in any way affect the services you are able to add. (that's the best thing about T-Mobile, all their services are BYOD-friendly)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] elite-fusion:
nice to see someone from NJ is looking to get this as well.

I just called tmobile and they are not selling the phone without contract until Monday.

I am going to check it out today in Paramus on RT17 tho to see how it is

I going to buy the phone on Monday and get the $70 month plan, but the prepaid one, not the contract one, so I hope internet speeds will be good, otherwise I will be disappointed that I switched to T-Mobile.

Has anyone else have any feedback on internet speeds on tmobiles "prepaid" service?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dundada08:
I have been using the prepaid service for about 2 months now with the Galaxy Nexus and have had no issues with data. I use Spotify and Pandora daily, as well as download applications and data speeds are very fast. Coming from Sprint, it is a blessing to have HSPA+
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] elite-fusion:
Thanks :) I just know that the 4G LTE is obviously a better model, but ATT is releasing it on Nov 9th, so I dont know if I should get the Tmobile version which is essentially 3G Only compared to a 4G LTE, even tho with tmobile it will still have 3G Only but since i am on prepaid, id be able to switch to att prepaid if i ever wanted to and be good with 4G LTE, so sort of a double whammy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrej201:
hey bro i wonder the same thing im just worry about the internet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ma$etas:
The good thing about getting this phone on Tmobile would be that its a GSM phone which has a sim card which makes very easy (compared to CDMA phones) to take it to any other GSM carrier, Simple mobile, Net, GO from AT&T, AT&T, Straight talk ( i think is GSM as well)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] elite-fusion:
I stopped by the store....SICK phone! I like it, as for contract vs prepaid, i think i will actually be going contract because i can insure the phone for 8 bux. i think its worth it, the price difference is about 10-15 bux a month which is something i can deal with.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xpprofessional1:
what the hell are you talking about?

please stop lying to people here. tmobile prepaid plan are just as good as all their other plans. as far as the speed, you get fast speed just like everyone else i have the $30 plan it works great. you sir are a liar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Techngro:
Since you live in NJ, you will NOT be disappointed by T-Mobile's HSPA+. I live in NYC and travel to Newark frequently. I never have problems with signal or speeds. I typically get 12-14 Mbps down. And that was with only a 21 Mbps compatible device, not their newer 42 Mbps devices (which I think the Note II is).

I have the $30 Walmart plan. You don't get a discount on the phone with it, but it's the best plan imho. 100 minutes, unlimited text, 5GB HSPA+ data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rockky:
Sorry but this made me laugh. Nice that you use 'sir' when calling someone a liar.Covers ur ass eh?

Im in downtown chicago area with great coverage ...

Heres a speedtest i just took and is the average here:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MisterEdF:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
I have the $30.00 Walmart exclusive T-mobile Monthly4G plan and you get the same speeds as everyone else in your area gets.... I also have insurance that I pay $7.00 a month for through my Monthly 4G plan so my bill is exactly $37.00/month for 100 talk, unlimited text and 5gb of 4g and then you get throttled to 2g... I walked into a store on launch day and they told me that they could not sell me a Note 2 without a new number and a contract but I told them that I already had the monthly4g plan and I chit chatted with them for awhile and I walked out with a NEW Titanium Note 2!! ;):good:

EDIT: Since I am on a Monthly4G plan and buy my phones outright I always call in and get them to give me the unlock codes for the phone... It usually takes about a week to 14 days but I get an email with the instructions on how to unlock my phone for FREE... ;) That's how it should be!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Just FYI guys, the $30 plan can also be had on T-Mobile's site known as Monthly 4G although the 100 minutes is literally 100 minutes, no Night & Weekends free, no Mobile-To-Mobile... etc. Just 100 minutes, and then you pay per minute.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 21stNow:
AT&T doesn't give access to the LTE network to the GoPhone customers.

T-Mobile sold the Galaxy Note II to me off-contract yesterday. I bought it on my Monthly 4G line.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] blazinazn:
I was able to buy it off contract at my Tmobile store by buying a $10 pre-paid activation card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LucJoe:
For everyone buying the phone outright, are you actually paying $700+ for it? It seems the best option would be to buy it on contract and pay T-Mo's generous $200 ETF, right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deliriousbb:
That seems to be an option too.

I got the phone yesterday and got the Value plan Truly unlimited plan (no cap on data) plan is $69 and got the phone for $250 down and $20 a month for 20 months. (total cost after 20 months is $700) IMO its not too bad considering the plan is cheap and real cost for unlimited everything and a phone is $89 a month
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LucJoe:
Yeah, I don't really understand their Classic vs Value vs Prepaid vs Wal-Mart only Prepaid ... plans. Coming from Sprint and I'm trying to figure everything out before taking the plunge.

Classic $369 phone $89 month

Value $249 phone $89 month (for 20 months then drops to $69)

Why would anyone choose Classic?

And I really like the Wal-mart plan ($30, 100 minutes, unlimited text, unlimited data, 5gb of 4g), but 100 minutes of talk will feel restrictive and the initial higher cost is a factor.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Classic plan - 2 year contract with phone subsidies

Value plan - 2 year contract without phone subsidies

Prepaid/Wal-mart/Monthly4G - month-to-month

For the Value and Pepaid plans, you have to purchase the phone at full retail.

If i were only getting 1 line, i'd go through the prepaid route, if i were in a family, I'd go through value plan (right now they have promotion where additional lines are $0 vs the usual $5)

You'd choose Classic if you can get on one of the grandfathered plans/rates. My roommate is on the Classic plan because he tried to buy the phone at subsidized then pay ETF, then go on the Prepaid plans, but they offered him $15 Android Preferred Data plan (5GB data) and $15 a month for unlimited text for his 3 lines.

Here are the various Monthly4G plans:

http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/monthly-4g-plans

I'd also recommend Simple Mobile which is a prepaid carrier that runs on T-Mobile's Network:

http://www.mysimplemobile.com/Simple-Mobile-Plan.aspx

$50 for unlimited everything (including 4G web... if i remember correctly, there's no data cap)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] blazinazn:
Not sure since I'm a new T-mo customer coming from sprint. I bought it outright so I could activate it on the $30 month, 100 minutes, unlimited text and web with no annual contract.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Yep. Although I'm not too clear regarding the SIM. You *may* need a pre-activated SIM card for the Monthly4G plans. I'd call in to ask, or go back into your local T-Mobile store and ask.

do note that this is literally 100 minutes. No Free Nights and Weekends or Mobile to Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] blazinazn:
You do, I ordered mine offline for .99 cents: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/T-Mobile-Micro-SIM-Card-Activation-Kit

I used the chat and the guy told me to buy it online instead of at the store because they'd stick you with the $35 activation fee. It's free activation if you do it online (until the end of this month) or over the phone so that's why I ordered it online.

And yes, I realize that it's literally 100 minutes. I used maybe 50 minutes a month with sprint. I'm not a big phone person. But I text a lot and use lot of data (~3-4GB/month) Can't beat it for $30 a month with no annual contract :)

I just ported my number over from sprint. The guy told me to call back in 48 hours and then tell them to switch my plan to the $30 unlimited. I created a tmobile account and logged in and it says I'm currently under "pre-paid" and I have a balance of $3.00. My number is already listed under my account.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Aight, just was making sure :)

And cool, yeah 100 minutes wouldn't be enough for me, phone interviews ~60 minutes so... I'd be screwed :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] blazinazn:
Yeah, I've been really wanting to leave sprint for awhile now. Tired of their crappy slow data. I didn't mind it when I was only paying less than everyone else. But then they added the $10 "data fee" for smart phones and that was the last straw. I'm not paying the same as everyone else and getting the same crappy service when I can switch to a faster network and still pay less :)

I've been with sprint for 10+ years and I would have stuck with them if they knew what they hell they were doing. Investing in WiMax instead of LTE was just downright stupid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatsitsnamenow:
On classic plan you own the phone. On value plan TMobile owns the phone until it is paid off.

If you leave TMobile mid contract you would need to pay off the remaining balance of the phone or else the phone will be blocked on their network.

In essence you agree to pay the phone in full amount plus the service contract of the value plan.

Under the classic plan you are only responsible for service contract.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LucJoe:
So basically if you cancel after 1 month on a value plan, you would need to pay 19*$20 to pay off the phone in addition to an ETF to get out of the contract? Seems like a bad deal. Why sign a 2 year contract with no benefit?

To me, the Value option is basically a $400 interest free loan for 20 months in exchange for locking in a higher price by at least $20 over prepaid options.

Looks like prepaid is the way to go! $50/month SimpleMobile or $30/month Wal-Mart.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatsitsnamenow:
Yes you need to pay off both the phone and the etf.

The only benefit of value plan is lower pricing, but in order to take advantage of the lower pricing you are required a 2 year commitment. It's not a plan for everyone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
And just a quick NOTE for everyone... You can get a monthly4g (prepaid) insurance plan for $7.00/month and the deductible is $130.00 for advanced phones... They cover lost and theft and all the rest....You have to purchase it within 30 days of your phone though, I believe...? May be a good option for a $700 phone that you own... Squaretrade also has monthly plans now too for a little lower a month and a $99.00 deductible but no lost or stolen coverage...
