[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
While it might seem simple to seperate the RIL and the rest of the firmware, you should take a look in the international Note2 forums and notice the lack of N7105 development. (The 7105 is the international "LTE" version and would actually be more similar to what AT&T is releasing.)

Take care

Gary
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] frewys:
I did notice that but at the same time it was a lot of nice modders showing there faces.I believe it was a month ago it was released. I think we are going to see more activity soon (hope). However. The international sgs 3 is more similar (CPU) to the note so maybe fewer upgraders from that one to the note. For instance there is no CM yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] El_Six:
I was also looking to moving back to android from iPhone...once again this phone has definitely caught my attention and comparing the international vs ATT think it might be a bit cheaper for me to get international (still under contract) but will I be loosing anything with the international Vs the ATT model? thanks:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
What you'll lose with the international variant (when compared to the AT&T variant):

LTE

"local" warranty service at an at&t store. (Without buying extra warranty packages such as squaretrade, the international version either won't have any warranty at all, or will require shipping the phone to the place of purchase who will then ship it overseas for actual warranty service.)

Possibly some network/radio "tweaks" to supposedly work better with AT&T towers. (AT&T will tell you this matters, but my own experience has been that AT&T locked devices seem to work WORSE on AT&T towers when compared to generic international radio settings.)

Certain extra bloatware that AT&T preloads on the phone that might not be available or functional on non-AT&T devices. Examples of things that some might consider useful: visual voicemail (supposedly not available on non-LTE devices - I use google voice instead); whatever AT&T does to allow their phones to connect to AT&T wifi hotspots without the need to pre-authenticate or accept extra terms and conditions on each connect.

...In my own opinion, I think the LTE and warranty service items are the only significant things.

For many, LTE might not be that big of a deal. Perhaps there isn't any LTE service in their area or their usage patterns are such that the faster speeds aren't significant. Actually, depending on how you use the phone's data, LTE can actually be a bad thing. An example would be someone who mostly just uses their device for email. Fetching and sending email is usually done in the background, so the data speed doesn't matter - but that background data using LTE will suck down a battery much faster than the same background data using EDGE/UMTS/HSPA.

However, LTE can be great if you use a lot of data for web browsing, tethering, or things like pinterest that use a lot of data interactively (and you are in an area with LTE service)

The warranty issue is only a loss if you get a phone that requires service covered by the warranty. While this is rare, it's not unheard of.

Perhaps the screen goes nuts after you've had the phone for 2 months. If you bought the phone from AT&T, you can get a replacement in a day or two (at no cost to you.) If you bought an international version from (for example) expansys, you'd have to ship the phone to expansys-usa, they'd ship it to Expansys Europe, who would then ship it to Samsung for service. After a few days or weeks, samsung would send the supposedly fixed phone back to expansys europe who'd send it to expansys-usa who would send it to you.

Some US-based retailers of the international phone won't even provide that type of warranty service - in that case, you'd basically have NO warranty at all. (This is the case with many of the amazon-based places that sell the n7100.)

... on the other hand, there are many negatives to the AT&T device when compared to the international (and those have been discussed many times over, so I won't list them all here.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ccctexas:
N7105?

ANy chance someone could net out the differences between the soon to be release ATT / LTE version and the International N7105 (LTE & H) versions? Like, will the ATT version be able to connect to all:

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network	HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

4G Network	LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600

like international N7105 version? Seems if it does not, and the N7105 works on ATT it would be best to avoid bloat and issue by obtaining the N7105.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
Getting the 7105 for use on at&t would be a waste of money. The ONLY note2 that will work on at&t lte bands will be the 317. EU lte bands are different from US lte bands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] frewys:
Avoiding the bloat is easy enough to do yourself with a program like titanium. Or you just install a custom rom. HW and support/development are the main things. And in this case it seems to be advantage to att for once in the HW department (minus FM radio that I personally don't even care about) . But from my limited lack of US dev. The international support is far superior atleast in my galaxy S3 experience. Amazing if the development can run simultaneously on att and International. That is a win! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lyall29:
At&t has a warranty. If anything happens to the n7100 your screwed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jade Eyed Wolf:
I have a thread on this EXACT topic in the international forum. I would suggest generating some buzz there; the international forum is more likely to be seem by devs and maybe gain support.

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

AT&T's Note 2 connectivity is more like this AFAIK:

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network	HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100

4G Network	LTE 700 / 1700
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] C.Flat:
It also has 2100 LTE support.

Hi XDA Developers,

I have an AT&T Galaxy S III I747.

The automatic restore option on my phone is not working. While trying to find why, I came across "Android Backup Service" in the "developers.google" website.

I am not a developer, so I am not able to figure out how to implement the procedure explained in the "developers.google" website.

Can anyone kindly help me with this?

I saw the video about being careful before posting a new thread. I tried to find an answer for long time in various forums, but could not find one. So I am posting this new thread.

What do ya'll think?

Am I right to guess that there won't be many cases available for this phone?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] VinceThePrince:
I kinda like it, reminds me of those leather pouches that used to come with BlackBerry's. Picking up a black one probably.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TeRRa4:
Remember that the Nexus 4 is significantly larger than the iPhone 4 (which is the model phone they have used for the case) so the case may be too small for it. :/

iPhone 4:

115.2mm H

58.66mm W

9.3mm D

Nexus 4:

133.9mm H

68.7mm W

9.1mm D

However those cases look really good for the price. Hmmmm...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Croptop:
Looks like a nice case. I'll certainly consider this as one of my leading contenders for a day-to-day holster for my N4. Thanks for the link.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] aly19:
I ordered this one to protect the phone until I get a case for it, it fits the Galaxy S 3 so it should be able to fit the LG Nexus 4:

Well the title says it's for the LG Nexus 4? Think they just made it according to measurements, or made a mockup of some sort? :confused:

Thanks! Might order 1 in case I got tired of bumper case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stretlow:
Id definately buy one of these but have smilar concerns as the poster above, nowhere on there does it give you the dimentions

If they're designed for and Iphone 5 then it isnt going to fit an N4

[Nexus 4 Accessories] spvnexus:
I will pick up a HTC sensation xl leather slip case. The dimensions look about right and should suffice until something better is released.

Looks like the One X cases would also work, think I will get this for now: http://goo.gl/iVzQ4

I did ask the seller if it would fit the Nexus 4. He/She said that the case would fit and is the XL case. So I guess the picture is just stock?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jholt1:
For £2.40 and free P&P, there's no point in not trying. If this fits, it will be perfect as I didn't want to get a case to hide the glass and holographic design.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Black and brown on their website. That brown looks really good, obvious grain, love it. If I'd have found their site first, I would have been torn between black and brown. They also have hot pink, but that just looks tacky.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Slap-Yourself :):
That brown is nice :good: But would it look good with the Nexus 4? I haven't bought one, because I'm still holding out in hopes for other cases/pouches/etc.... BUT for the price, I think I should just take the plunge. When you receive it, could you comment back on how it fits? Or make a review!? :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Definitely will :cyclops:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dunjamon:
I've ordered one of these too. I got a stylus with mine so if all else fails I'll have that for my Nexus 7. It should fit as it does state that its for the Nexus 4.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Got the case in today. Fits very snugly, a little worried this may actually cause scratches it fits so tight, one little grain of sand gets in there, the lining is a very sparse microfiber.

It is exceptionally thin, I don't think it will offer much in the way of impact protection. But if you're worried about setting it down or having any dirt in your pocket it will serve just fine. Audio notification is hardly impeded at all, neither is vibration.

There is a stamped in logo on the pull tab side, not glaringly noticeable. The tab is cheaply constructed, and with the way it is stitched on the inside, I'm again afraid this may lead to scratches if any dirt at all gets inside there.

The pouch looks good, feels good, full grain leather, decent stitching, seams are sealed, so it is less likely to get dirt inside. Oddly, it smells like a strip club...

There is a slight noticeable distortion on the outside from where the pull tab stitching is. Gets easier to remove and recover the phone the more you work at it, but I don't think it'll ever get to the point where the phone falling out is a fear.

It is probably not too good for the pouch, but you can work the volume controls, with a little inaccuracy, through it. Fits comfortably in the pocket.

On the whole, worth the price, take that as you will. I'm going to keep this on it till the bumper comes out, decent hold over I think.

I ordered this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Google-Nexu...06VW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1353834223&sr=8-5 - because it has magnet clip over as well as a slide out tab so there is no chance of the phone slipping out of the case over time when the case loosens.
[Galaxy Note II General] al52025:
Within 3 days of owning the note i have burn in already how is this possible. when the brightness is on the lowest setting and your on a screen with a black or grey background you can easily see back scribble marks all over from when i was in s note just drawing lines everywhere playing around. Its not like i drew them and just left the screen on for a day to burn it in either
[Galaxy Note II General] Princetan:
Can you send the picture???

Can you take a picture with the screen in white color?

no it doesnt show up on white at all just a darker color like black or greyish
[Galaxy Note II General] al52025:
i cant samsung are douches and dont support international devices
[Galaxy Note II General] system.img:
The best thing you can do is go to the service center or return the phone where you bought it.

Samsung Service is really good and they replaced my hard bricked Galaxy Ace's motherboard for free under warranty.

I dont know what you mean by "They don't support International devices":confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] al52025:
i dont have a samsung service center near me. i called samsung to ask them and he said since i bought an international version they dont support it
[Galaxy Note II General] EdgaBimbam:
Hmmm strange as i know samsung gives one year international warranty. Never had any problems with samsung service, they changed even 3 times headphones for new ones.

Take your phone then to seller who sold it
[Galaxy Note II General] al52025:
i asked amazon but i dont want to return it and be without a phones for 2 weeks. they told me i should buy another one then return this one for a refund. the notes on amazon are not fullfilled by amazon now so if i get one through another dealer and theres a problem i just dont feel like dealing with them for a refund
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
Well, even if you returned it to Samsung for repair, you'd be without it for a few weeks, so your choice really is quite simple.

Put up with it, or return it.
[Galaxy Note II General] naimmkassim:
R U sure its burn in..its look like "screen bleeding" to me..:confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] opentoideas:
daft suggestion but have you tried cleaning the screen?

it doesn't "burn" like a crt so you shouldn't see it when dark if there was a problem.

could it just be grease marks?
[Galaxy Note II General] al52025:
yeah its not the screen its clean as could be. i downloaded a screen burn-in tool and when it cycles through the colors and gets to red. u can see where the marks are but there blurry almost like they were bleeding. but all other colors u cant see the marks. but if i open up a black screen and turn the brightness down u can clearly see the black marks from when i was just scribbling lines on s-note. its def in the screen its not marks its burnt in

Don't worry about the black dots, because that's a common problem for amoled screens. I also have it on my s3 that I have changed 4 times because of this problem. But sometime you can be a lucky and get one without this issue.

This is the only issue I'm worried about with this phone. Screen burn in.

How can drawing lines a screen cause it to burn in??

Do other people have issues with amoled screens? I'm considering this phone which has possible burn in or a Nexus 4 but lose LTE. :confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] _delice_doluca_:
I remember reading a sentence in either GNote or SGS3 forum. It was like that; "when every LED is off you just see the true colour of the material behind (and on) the LEDs but some are more black than the others" Sometimes AMOLED screens are perfect, sometimes they problems like dots, lines or waves. Samsung has poor quality check i guess..

It is so unfortunate that a special and very successfull screen tech has a soft bone in the area it actually claims to be the best; blacks!
[Galaxy Note II General] elfary:
It seems to me that Amoled screens are not as reliable as lcds. And their lifespan looks shorter.

Since i'm one to keep for at least 2 years the same smartphone this is kind of a deal breaker to me.

[Galaxy Note II General] Elvecio:
Same situation here.

My screen has a little area that unmatches the gray colour. When i use apps in dark themes or a grey wallpaper, this point becomes black. Nothing too irritating, it's just a little area and in a normal use is just invisible.

I was thinking to contact the support center, but last night my Note fell off the table (ok, i was completely drunk with some friends -__-"), cracking the screen on the left border (i'm VERY lucky that the part of the glass that covers the screen is still perfect). But now i think that the support center will not accept my phone.

What do you think?
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
That's two unrelated issues aren't they? I mean why wouldn't they accept your phone? Obviously you're going to pay for the cracked screen, but still.

PS: [MENTION=2133134]Tubgirl[/MENTION] - no burn in here. How old is your Note II? Although I don't personally do it myself, I'd advice everyone to enable auto-hide notification option while browisng etc. in Nova Launcher or whatever it is you're using to avoid the possibility of such uneven burn in. I have no burn in, but since you've managed to scare me off, I'd probably do that myself from now on :P
[Galaxy Note II General] firechaos:
This burn in u described had been discussed in this forum on almost all the devices with super amoled displays. Briefly, what threads has concluded: It is caused by the manufacturing limitation of amoled.

It has to do with something about the application of the 2 layers found in Amoled screens. In addition, the thickness of amoled displays makes it even harder to align the pixels properly.

Resulting in what u experience: burnin in.
[Galaxy Note II General] DubelBoom:
For me its the opposite of burn in.

Seines day one I have my status bar black, so all the other blue sub-pixels started to die (Known issue with amoled. Blue sub-pixels die faster), and those on the status bar didn't as they light up much less time (only on videos, games, etc) so now I have a blueish line where the status bar is :(
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
It has nothing to do with "2 layers". Unlike LCD, AMOLED lights up individual LEDs. So while with LCD, the degradation might be uniform, but with AMOLEDs, more used pixels age faster, and the less used (i.e. black ones) age longer, hence the "burn in" effect. Since obviously black means pixels go to a low powered state, if not completely off.

By the way, with LCD, if you are being really anal, you could notice faint grey lines on a perfectly white screen as well, i.e. backlight lines. So yeah, nothing is perfect, I guess you get a lot of advantages with AMOLED - and as far as it's not bothering you much, don't look for problems I suppose :)

I am currently using the T989 model of Samsung Galaxy S 2. I have been running CM10 Nightlies without issue. Since CM10 is Jellybean, it obviously comes with Google Now. I live in Canada, and from my experience, when you first load up a CM10 ROM and select the country as Canada and then use Google Now, you will not receive voice talkback.

However, if I choose that I am located in the United States I will get a female voice talking back. Alternatively, if I select UK I get an English male voice talking back to me.

When I upgrade to the Nexus 4 and sign in for the first time, do I have to select that I am from the United States or UK to get the Google Now talkback? Or would I be ok to choose Canada (the actual country in which I am located)? I would prefer to select my actual location, but don't want to lose voice talkback. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
