[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christianboy_83:
Hey guys,

Not trying to hi-jack this thread but I have a similar question:

I had Windows Phone on the ATT network. I switched to Straight Talk a month ago by just switching out the sim cards. The phone & service worked great except straight talk does not support windows phone because you can't edit the APN setting in Windows Phone because they are automatic. It was time for a new phone anyways so I went on ebay and found a new phone unlocked on the T-mobile network. I put the straight talk sim in the new phone and now I am getting a lot of problems with sending & recieving text etc. The major problem I have is I keep getting a text message that says +1121611611 (2288 Error Invalid Number, Please resend using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. This is continuous day & night and will not stop and runs my battery down. Is it possible that I can't use a T-mobile phone with a AT&T version Straight Talk sim?

Well that explains why I see 3G in Seattle.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spawn1980:
I plan on switching to straight talk in April I want to get a note 2 but I have 4 problems

1. Which company will offer the best service ATT or TM?

2. If I get ($$$) Phone is there a way to get insurance/Warranty that will cover me it in case ANYTHING happens? Would Square Trade Do it?

3. Will all the features work?

4. Which sim card should I get ATT, Straight talk or Tmobile?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gedster314:
First off, why dig up this old thread to post in, it's last post was in October. But I do have to thank you because you obviously did search first.

TMobile is out of the question if you are looking to buy an international Note2 (N7100). You will be only able to use 2G on it unless you are in one of a handful of cities. So if you want to use TMobile, your best option is to buy a TMobile version of the Note2.

As for if you should use TMobile or ATT, no one can answer that for you. You have to talk to people in your area about how their service is, dropped calls and data speeds. As a general rule ATT has better nationwide coverage but there are many places where TMobile has great service and data speeds too.

Insureance, how many times have you dropped your phone in the last year? I put a TPU case on my Note1 and dropped many times and never had it break but some people have them break on the first drop. Up to you, I think it's waste money.

Would love to know if the att note 2 will get lte if on straight talk
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeybox:
tmobile note 2 contract is up, can I go no contract with it?

I have a note 2 that I got when I was still under contract, im curious if I can go monthly no contract and still use it. Probably through t mobile still until something better comes along, so I don't have to be locked in a contract. Because it sucked.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerDNA:
I have Note 2 N7100. International unlocked version bought from Newegg in Nov of 2012. I have used Straighttalk (AT&T SIM) the whole time. I have had them cut off my data twice so far because of TOS. Says you cant stream music/video, use P2P, and other crap. Basicly they say you can only browse. But let me be clear, I was using 5GB+ each time they cut me off so yea, it was my fault, I know what unlimited means and it's unlimited. Each month they cut it off, I got it turned back on no issues. Now for the last month, my speed has bee HORRIBLE all month. I have used under 500MB thus far but its bad. My wife, who has Nexus 4 and uses a concistant 500MB - 1GB/month and has her ST account totally seperate has the same issue. So does my neighbor and two co-workers, we are getting horrible speeds for the past month or so. So I am seriously concidering AT&T thier ungoddly bounty for service starting next month. I get a discount at work so it equals out to about $70/month, same as the others. I loved ST but it's gotten really bad...

BTW, I bought a TM SIM from TM last week and it was 2G from work to home. I live in Birmingham AL. there is a few miles of good 3G on the interstate but thats it. Hope this helps
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sholsten:
Straight Talk has lost out on AT&T for whatever reason(s). They don't offer the AT&T Sims on their site anymore. There are some left on eBay but the sellers have doubled the price or more. The day is supposedly coming that new AT&T Straight Talk Sims will no longer activate. ST has also downgraded the unlimited data on AT&T to 1.5 GB a month. Tmobile sucks in my area. I hope to never have to use it again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amendolaro1:
Where is your source that it is only 1.5 gigabytes with AT&T now

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm212:
so i recently just moved from boston to ohio (44820 zip) while i was in boston i used tmobile. however when i came to ohio i noticed i was always using 2g via att. tmobile has no service in this town. so heres my dilemma...i signed up with sprint and to be honest im (no 4g lte and 3g sucks) wanting to dump them. honestly i will pay the etf for both phones (note 2 and optimus g). i just want out!

so im trying to decide what to do...is straight talk or net 10 the way to go? do they both use att or tmobile. i have searched but if i understand correctly att runs net 10 and straight talk runs tmobile. but do they roam on each other?

any help would be awesome! i truly would love prepaid with unlimited data.

look up my zip and you will see tmobile is a no go. so now its att but which mvno and i need unlimited 3 or 4g...

thanks!!!
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
Hi,

I'm running the stock ICS on a Droid 4 in the UK (on the T-Mobile/EE network).

Everything is working fine apart from the MMS facility within the stock "Messages" application which doesn't seem to be able to send or receive MMS messages. However, the odd thing (well, I think it's odd) is that Handcent can send and receive MMS messages just fine, which shows the capability is there (and presumably the APN stuff is ok?), and it could just be settings somewhere?

Does anybody have the same problem, or a suggestion for a solution?

Cheers,

Steve.

Dear Galaxy-Fans,

i have the new Galaxy Note 2 with the Omega-ROM but i can't live with the Contacts, eMail and SMS/MMS Prog from Samsung :(

How can i install the stock Software of Contacts, eMail and Messages from Nexus?

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] serialtoon:
Huh? We are talking about the AOSP (Stock) MMS/SMS app
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] kout:
I also wanted the MMS from my "old" Gnexus, I extracted /system/Mms.apk for my nexus. pushed it to system on the Note2 and I can confirm that SMS are working flawlessly but sending an MMS makes the app FC

if a dev could make that work that's be awesome

My B92M so far!!

So guys just wanted to share my set-up so far for my B92M. Getting closer and closer to the SIII hehehe!!!

Apps I have ported so far include:

Samsung SIII Touchwiz 5 Launcher

Latest Android Camera & Gallery app for Jelly Bean 4.2 (Camera quality is improved over the stock one, but photot sphere doesnt work)

Google Now

Holo Locker (for that Jelly bean lockscreen)

CM9 DSP Manager (great sound quality, trust me!!)

Play Music

Chat ON (samsung chat app)

S Memo (very good note taking samsung app)

ROM Toolbox Pro (for editing boot animation, system Fonts and much much much more....)

MIUI Compass app (looks great!!)

CURRENT ROM: DRX 1.7 B92M MOD NaroFive (very nice ROM, stable but for some reason cant record 720p video even with LG Camera and can't seem to find the very important SIM Toolkit app in the app drawer (any ideas guys? Or its a bug). Only thing i hate is the theme which has ugly icons plus the notification bar is mess up with that huge android picture on the bottom (check the attached photo) and the dailer is also ugllyyy would love the stock default theme that came with the phone!)

Just thought i'd share this with you guys and if you want links to the mods and apps do let me know.

cheers!!

GPS still unusable

I am using the second Beta as well. But with Google Maps Navigation is unusable. Waiting very long to be able to navigate and loosing GPS quite often after some time (e.g. a street a little bit narrow. Is this better on your phone?)

What are you using: only A-gps or EPO as well. (The EPO server is often down - so I was using the 30 day downloadable file - but that's very annoying to do each month.

Interesting is: YGPS gets fixes much faster as the applications (configuration problem?) May be the antennas are bad. On other phones a small wire helped to get better accuracy.
[Android General] jobvandonselaar:
I got the GPS working! Getting a fix in seconds now, not really accurate but 20 to 60meters but very happy with this!.

I used the update in CWR GPS_mod(8NTP)yeddo.zip i found on a french site http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/125...ustom-fix-gps/

It is a zip file you can update in the recovery mode.

I got the file also shared in my google docs, where you can find my adjusted verson of the gps.conf for use here in the Philippines.

http://goo.gl/lCYKp

I did the Zip udate frst and later in ADB i relaced the gps.conf. Probably this is doing double times the same but this is how i got it working.

Then i do like allways (only one time)

1. Disable the GPS, EPO, A-GPS. (under system settings, location services)

2. Delete or rename file mtkgps.dat in the directory /data/misc.

3. Reboot your phone.

4. Go out into the open (street no high rise buildings nearby).

5. Turn on the GPS, EPO, A-GPS

6. Dial *#*#3646633#*#*

7. Select YGPS.

8. Information tab

9. Click Full, and then Cold, then A-GPS restart.

10. Go to the tab Sattelites - and wait for the signal to lock (this may take a long time!)

11. Exit the menu and YGPS

After this is get a fix in seconds in Google Maps or GPS testing apps!!

In the folder there is also the build.prop of Lazarillo. . I only adjusted the brand of the phone, it's a B92m now, by ALPS. Proud to have a China Phone.... especcialy now its working good! If ony they would have send me the ordered 1Gb.... With this one running on the Beta 2 DRX 1.7 rom my battery and redraws are good now!! Whole nite wifi online and 200Mb Pdcast download consumes 10% battery now!

Now if i can find a way to get the original ICS icons back....
[Android General] jobvandonselaar:

GPS sensitivity sucks

One thing I've realized is that AGPS on the HDC S3 EX works using just the stock rom. I bought mine from fastcardtech and they proclaimed theirs is better when I approached them with a site that sells a similar 1bg b92m for a lower price. I'm not sure if they meant theirs is better in terms of an upgraded rom but anyway, I just want to let you guys know that it works right out of the box without flashing of recovery rom or patching or gps.conf (in fact there isn't even such a file in /etc or /system/etc). I've tried agps with sygic and the stock navigation app and it always get a fix in under 2 minutes. With ygps, fix is often much faster at around 45s.

However, I realized that as with other b92m owners here, the satellite signal is rather weak and rarely green. Accuracy is also around 20m - 60m (sometimes >100m). It's useless with the nav app which I've tried as it keeps recalculating route as it thinks that I've wandered off. I can wait 10mins for it to acquire 10 satellites but it will surely loose the signal as I drive around. I think this could be an inherent problem with the hardware as neither xda rom nor the spanish beta 2 rom was able to fix. Owners who have installed these roms have also reported poor accuracy.

I've seen owners of other phones modifying their GPS antenna for a better accuracy (signal strength). Is it possible with the b92m or HDC S3 EX? Anyone who is an electrical engineer willing to give it a try and let us know?
[Android General] danycmoi:
I confirm that the GPS(GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM) of B92 is not precise of the whole.

It's better to have a bluetooth GPS, a precision in 100 %.

Files gps.conf, serves only to accelerate the vérrouillage of satelltes, a few seconds instead of several minutes.

Dany
[Android General] fjorger:
Yes GPS is kind of useless

Yes GPS on the Star B92M is kind of useless.

Don't buy this phone if you need a good or average GPS unit (because the accuracy makes it mediocre).

Let me explain why,

Using a Navigation program (NDrive) that has on a lower right conner an icon showing the GPS power, we rarely see three bars

(1-2 bars -> yellow / 3-5 bars -> green) usually 99% of the time we only see one or two bars (Yellow), so we end up (while navigating) with

a average accuracy of 30 meters, resulting in jumping from street to street.

Using the GPS test program, we do manage to get a fix on 10 or even 11 satellites from a total of 12, but their SNR never reaches

values higher than 39 (best case scenario) usually we get a avg of 28/30 SNR. To get a green signal we need SNR values of 40 or up.

And I never saw them, even on a clear sky.

So unless a antenna "fix" is found I suppose we are out of luck, unless "like danycmoi said" we use an external Blue-tooth GPS unit

(using a great Chip like Sirf III).
