Thanks for your investigating Knils. I think your observation is consistent. I believe Air View will only work on Samsung tweaked apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] morphiend:
Went to the tmobile by my work to see if they had a demo unit to play with and they did. They were nice enough to hold one for me for tomorrow. They said 250 on a value plan. I multi view did not work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jghidalgo307:
Any ideas as to how long will it prolly take for us to get the update for multitasking?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Techngro:
LOL. You must have gone to the exact same store that I did (Downtown Manhattan by Whole Foods). They had a demo unit locked up, but the guy was nice enough to let me hold it and answered my questions. Multiview wasn't working on it. He didn't seem to know what that was so I told him to check Youtube for a video of it and also check for an update.

I asked him about the cost. He said it would probably be $600 plus tax to buy one outright. Then the $299 price that was leaked for a value plan.

I think it would be better for me to just buy mine outright. I would have to change from the $30 Walmart plan to the lowest $60 value plan, plus sign a contract, pay a deposit AND cough up $299 down payment plus $20 a month for 18 months. Doesn't seem to be worth it vs just paying the full price ($660) and keeping my $30 plan.

Store in Aiea, Hawaii only got 3 grey in their shipment.for tomorrow. (one is set aside for me) They got 2 to sell tomorrow :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] morphiend:
nah im in the sf bay area. the unit i played with wasn't bolted down as a demo unit or anything. like it was just on the counter and i said "can i play with the note 2?" and they said "sure," so i got about 20 minutes with. i'm switching from sprint so i did a bunch of speed tests and consistently got about 12/2 which is oh, only about 60 times faster than what i was getting on sprint.

the price they quoted me was 650 off contract but value plan is 250 plus 20 bucks extra for 20 months so 250 + (20x20) = $650. so it winds up being the same price. it's just a matter of whether you have/want to front the 400 bucks.

some guy came in after me and was getting 2 and he said he was "fourth on the list" but they told him it was first come first serve so he said he'd be there right when they opened at 10. i won't be able to get over there till my lunch break at 12 so i feel pretty lucky that they're holding one for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] DADDYDC650:
White or Titanium???

I'm still debating on which color to get. White or Titanium... what about you folks?

BTW, do you think T-Mobile retentions will be able to sell me the 32GB version over the phone? I know they'll have it online according to the rep I spoke with earlier today.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] morphiend:
i think the stores are only getting 16g greys for now....so that one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Knils:
Yea at least every store in my area has only gotten the TG version, and no store will have a 32g version available. Got my 64g sdxc card today so excited, already formatted and filled with music. Lets hope I won't have to reformat when I put it in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] switt:
I called a lot of stores nearby, only greys. I wanted white but its not worth waiting even longer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Knils:
I was also originally set on getting a white. After seeing the TG in person I have to say it is super sexy. My only concern with the grey is thishttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1924918&highlight=dust
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tidbits:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] elite-fusion:
any word on the ORIGINAL top of this thread.....Will the T-MOBILE version be the same as the AT&T version with regards to LTE capabilities?

If i could get the 32GB online I'd be happy, but they dont have them listed on the website :( And I too want White :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tidbits:
32 and 64 are only available in Korea right now. They don't have a 16GB model there either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gatorrph:
Yes, exact same hardware: http://www.tmonews.com/2012/10/t-mo...idden-lte-support-same-hardware-as-att-model/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ekerbuddyeker:
Lte doesn't work on at&t with this device. I unlocked my tmob N2. No lte.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Motoki_:
The quote that tmonews reference from T-Mobile does state that LTE won't automatically work on it straight out of the box and implies that they will have to push a software update when that time comes.

What this means for using it on AT&T I don't know, but it's possible they have something in the software disabling it. I'd be curious to see if flashing a ROM from the AT&T version onto this device (unlocked) would then allow access to AT&T's LTE network (assuming the person trying subscribed to AT&T of course). I would suspect it would.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mr mystery:
Doing that would likely mean killing DC-HSPA and would likely remove AWS HSPA. Effectively you'd just have an AT&T Variant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ekerbuddyeker:
...which is fine by me!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] danmanca:
Has anyone tried this yet? Flashing stock AT&T rom onto Tmobile note 2? and does it enable LTE?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkb218:
I haven't tried it as I'd rather have a root canal than have anything to do with AT$T.

However, this topic has been covered to death and if I recall, with success.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] danmanca:
Can you point me to the solution? I've been searching the forum but haven't been able to find anyone that has confirmed this or how to do it? I can only find instructions on getting an AT&T phone to work on the HSPA+ network on Tmobile but not the reverse..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] distortedloop:
It's been covered to death for sure, but I'm not sure anyone has proven they've successfully accomplished this. The multiple threads on the topic have conflicting information.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Was replacing the outsize bezel while meant I had to remove the touch screen and LCD screen altogether. I accidentally tore the strip that goes from the top of the mother board to the, I believe digitizer, it controls the touch buttons along with the overall screen. I have full brightness, volume and power buttons all work.

But like I said, it goes from the motherboard to the front screen, NOT the LCD to motherboard strip.

Any help would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] guitarist5122:
Goodluck trying to repair that. Better off just getting a new digitizer
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:
+1

In my experience, there is no coming back from that one. I'm gonna say you'll need a new one.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] rtotheichie:
The good news is:a digitizer is relatively cheap
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I disconnected all of the little connectors, so I thought. This ribbon didn't seem to have a removable connection, or am I wrong on that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] edekalil:
It has a section that lays down on the metal frame. It has some double sticky tape that keeps it layed down.the section I am talking about has a small chip and cuircitry on it with two holes in the ribbon caddy corner from each other that keep it lined up with two pegs molded into the metal frame. You will see it under the mother board whitch the very end connector conects to on the leftside looking at it. Once the mother board is off. You have to ease the curcit part stuck to the metal frame off. I use a small knife taking the sharp edge to sneek under and lift a little at a time to get it loose then you can get it apart.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I saw pictures of the digitizer ribbon but didn't see how it connected but I think I got it now. I found some on ebay in the US for like $25, one that I saw for $39 showed a the digitizer already glued to the bezel portion...when I bought a set a few weeks ago, it came with the back battery cover, HDMI and audio jack smaller back cover, and the outsize bezel which has the layout of the digitizer (four holes at the bottom for the capacitive buttons).

The adhesive tape **** they gave me was horrible, it was way too flimsy and I couldn't even really use it.
[Galaxy Note II General] tomdroid3:
hey guys,

So i noticed 2 extra pins under the battery cover of my GN2 today! i looks like they are for wireless charging similar to what Samsung promised for the gs3. I don't really feel like waiting for the official wireless charging kit from Samsung so I'm going to attempt to make my own wireless charging back! I've seen videos like this before so i know it can be done! i have got the old inductive charger and back from my ancient palm pre so I'm going to give it a shot! just thought id spark up a bit of conversation about the topic and maybe learn a bit from some people who may already have done something similar!

I apologize in for the terrible grammar :P

thanks ! :D
[Galaxy Note II General] imitenotbecrazy:
Isn't that for NFC? My original note had those and they matched up with the contact points on the battery cover and its nfc chip
[Galaxy Note II General] shojus:
As you can see in his pic the Note 2 has two sets of pins... One set (the upper pins) is for the NFC that lines up with the battery cover and the other set (next to the battery) is "most likely" for wireless charging because I did my own mod for the S3 and it works perfect but until someone does it we don't know for sure?? ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] guitarz:
that's NFC
[Galaxy Note II General] tomdroid3:
Just got it working! OMG this is sweet! haha :P tested it with some spare wires and it regonized that it was being charged wirelessly! now i just gotta make it look pretty and install it in the back panel of the phone! woo! :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Vulpix:
You do realize that we need pictures on that. :D
[Galaxy Note II General] tomdroid3:
nope thats just the top pins! the bottom ones next to the battery are for wireless charging :) i just got it working too!
[Galaxy Note II General] tomdroid3:
hahaha well of course!! I'm documenting the whole procedure! :P
[Galaxy Note II General] tomdroid3:
got some photos!!!
[Galaxy Note II General] iwin2000:
why didnt they advertise this anywhere
[Galaxy Note II General] cleankutazn:
That is awesome....So how much would it cost if they were to sell a new back cover made for wireless charging?
[Galaxy Note II General] shojus:
The whole mod cost me $18.00 on my S3 so that's how much it costs for everything... It's real simple too! I KNEW those bottom pins were for charging but some people just kept saying both sets of pins were for NFC which would be WRONG.... :highfive: Follow this thread and you can get all the stuff on Amazon... You will probably need some of the stronger magnets though which are another $10.00 for 100 of them on Ebay...

LINKY:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877191 Thanks guys for getting to this!!
[Galaxy Note II General] slapshot136:
can anyone clarify:

which pin is + and -

what is the max current (at 5 volts?)

and other than getting the correct voltage, is there anything else that a wireless charging back-plate would need to do? (I am thinking of making a simple one with a LM7805 + a diode and a coil)
[Galaxy Note II General] zkyevolved:
I'm waiting for the official Samsung one. I hope it does 2A wireless charging ! hehe.
[Galaxy Note II General] PaulF8080:
magnetic fields only induce current when the field changes(think transformer). It's AC not DC.
[Galaxy Note II General] vanvn297:
How long does it take to fully charge the phone? Because the palm's wireless charging module's output current is far lower than the samsung one as far as i knows.
[Galaxy Note II General] xartic12:
It's limited in the kernel to .5A, optimally 6.2 hours.
[Galaxy Note II General] PaulF8080:
What current? I thought current referred to electrons flowing down a wire. It is wire less.
[Galaxy Note II General] marc.tulley:
Mate. Wiki how a transformer works. Its basically 2 coils set next to each other. The coil in the dock has current flowing through it and this creates a magnetic field. This local magnetic field pushes the electrons around in the coil we have put in the back of our phones and tadaaa! Current. Electrmagnetism into Electromagnetic induction. So we dont want more than 0.5A in the case coil.

By the way see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951493 for 2 common solutions to the mod (soldered and non-soldered) my non-soldered solution works a treat.
[Galaxy Note II General] PaulF8080:
Dude, I am an electrical engineer. It's more complicated than that. Only changing magnetic fields generate electric fields that induce current in a wire. The current is AC. 0.5A makes no sense, to me.
[Galaxy Note II General] marc.tulley:
Dude. Im a nuclear engineer, i know it can be discribed in more detail :) but maybe I didnt understand what you dont understand. Obviously the wireless induction is A.C and the phone only wants a nice D.C 0.5Amp supply. I dont know what the A.C voltage and ampage output is on the coil but after rectifying it will be 0.4-0.5Amps D.C to comply with the phone spec....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] musclehead84:
Awesome write up for the noobs bro.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Byonik:
I was just thinking we really needed a single source to track the progress of each ROM category. This makes a great framework for tracking that information. Thanks for putting this together.

My suggestion would be to add a few bullets below each ROM category that note the most prominent long-term bugs. I think that could significantly reduce the same question being asked over and over within each topic.

Example: all of the AOSP 4.1.x ROMs currently suffer from low video recording volume, poor voice command recognition, and limited in-call volume range (as of this post). Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
I really have no idea, i was just sitting and thinking "man i answer the same questions almost everyday, if only there was a single thread for the answer" and well... now its here ;)

Thanks for the suggestion :) I actually considered that and may add it in within the next few days, we'll see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Byonik:
After thinking about this concept more, a community-maintained wiki might actually be a better medium for efforts like this. Ensuring accuracy, keeping everything up to date - and remaining relevant as a result - always seems to be the greatest challenge.

I'm pretty sure i did lol

mhmmm. Thats why i tried to keep this as "basic" as possible and just going over the general stuff. I'm able to keep up with a lot but only to a certain extent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Byonik:
True. Fortunately, the ROM categories themselves are fairly constant, so this thread should be pretty low maintenance. Hopefully it will get stickied or merged with a stickied thread so it remains visible to noobs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Yeah thankfully they are :) I've just got a few more things to add and a little cleaning to do with this thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
great writeup...this needs merged with the download list thread.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueCross:
Good write up, but what the **** is up with all the grammatical errors? Do people not understand the difference between, "your" and "you're?"

Thanks as well. I was a new flasher a few years ago so I know how it feels to be unsure of what things are. This should make things easier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
I updated the OP with a little more information, added in a few links to useful guides at the top, as well as a known issues section when going from ICS touchwiz to AOSP JB and known possible fixes for those issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Byonik:
Wow. This is really a great piece of work. I definitely think it deserves a sticky.

It would also greatly compliment the XDA SCH-I535 wiki. That would also allow the community to help you maintain it if it ever becomes a burden.

Something tells me this thread will get linked to more than any other.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neh4pres:
Sense this is a guide for new people.

Maybe a warning and a link for imei backup.

Should be done before flashing.

To do list:

-More jellybean rom support

-Unique touchwiz roms that recently came into play.

-Update more stuff

-Make users happy? ;)

Also i'd just like to thank everybody that read this post and showed a little gratitude :) I saw it got bumped today and was wow'ed by the number of "thanks" i got. I never expected to get so many, but really it means a lot that people appreciate the time and effort that i put into this thread :) I know that sounds silly, but i wasn't sure how to word my gratitude :P

Great guide. Thanks much for writing this up.

I'm on a TW Rom now and would love to get back to an AOSP Rom but can't risk losing my GPS. However, if I get up the courage again I'll flash one of the AOSP Roms and follow your steps for retaining my GPS.

I would like to hear other thoughts/methods for ensuring GPS works on AOSP Roms. Thanks.

Hi,

So I stumbled across this thread sometime back and I really like what you've done here. If you don't mind, I would like to make a thread like this in the Galaxy S I9000 section because over there there are a lot of threads asking this same question. Proper credit would be given to you for the original idea ad thread...

If you have any concerns or don't want me to go ahead with this, please let me know either by replying or by PM...

Thanks :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Nice looking guide. I haven't read it yet, but it looks reallly nice.. Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to read it just in case i learn something I haven't heard of before. Even though I'm not exactly a newb. I don't know it all. No one does. Some just know way more than others.. That's all. That's what I tell people about computers and the repair business. It's tought to stay up to date on every os windows don't change much at the core., With Linux distro's there's everything from Slack, RPM based, Suse, Debian, the buntus, DSL, Arch, Gentoo's and so on, not to mention the mac stuff. But I'm glad os X is based on FreeBSD I think it is, so Linux knowledge would help a bit there. Anyway, I just think its impossible for someone to know Everything.

There's some really Nice and Knowledgable people on these forums many of whom share their skills with the world. I for one am very grateful for that. Thanks Devs Themers, and the rest of the Community for doing what a close knit community does, help one another.

Edit: Oh I'll have to read it after I find my next kitkat rom to flash.. LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Saw your thread :)

Also guys I apologize for not updating this at all recently. Real life has been hectic, but I do plan on fixing it up with kit-kat and what not being out :) I do hope that this has continued to help other users!
