If someone knows of a better way than this, please post. I watch a lot of sports on my phone/tablet and this is the only non-headache way I've found. Firefox not hiding the web address bar when you're on a site and the stream freezing if you choose full screen mode (so I just zoom in until it fills the screen) are both super annoying. Also you have to "tap to load flash" every time you load the page, but other than that it is pretty solid.

It sounds like a pain in the ass but once you get used to what you need to do, it's not so bad. The s-pen is really nice for closing the ads

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] uofmike:
I know that. But unless I'm doing something wrong, when using Firefox, you need to "tap to activate flash" each time you open Firefox

I was selling my T989 SII because I have the SIII and someone asked me if this phone is usable with the Tmobile Prepaid plan, and I think it will work but you just have to get the Prepaid Sim Card. Is this correct?

Thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jontyl:
You can definitely use the T989 on T-Mobile's prepaid/monthly plans (I'm using it on the $30 100 minutes/5 GB unthrottled plan). I'm less sure about having to get the extra sim.

I know I did if only because getting on the plan I have required a "new" activation and the code that comes with all of the prepaid sim cards. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a way to call a T-Mo rep to try to get the existing sim to work on a new prepaid plan, but it's probably easier to just buy a new one.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aycn602:
My note is functioning normally! I dont have any problems with connecting to wifi at home, friends' places and even public wifi at like tim hortons etc.

BUT it doesn't connect well to the wifi at my university... and it definitely isn't the problem with the wifi signal or anything as my phone (galaxy note) connects fine as well as my laptop etc... I am not sure how to solve this problem... let alone figuring out what exactly is wrong...

In order to sign into the school's wifi, one will need to put it an id and password.. its a WPA wireless network.

To be more precise, my note sometimes will be connected to the school wifi fine without any disconnection but very frequently (at least 75% of the time I open up my tablet at school) it will not be able to connect or sometimes disconnect stochastically. I will have to try turning my wifi on and off a few times and if that doesn't solve the problem (which is the case for most of the time) I try restarting my tablet.... most of the time if my tablet decides it doesn't want to connect, nothing seems to work! I will just have to try and connect to the wifi some other time.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Your school Wi-Fi just sucks, it's unstable. Or you have on your note an app that uses an restricted protocol. As an example, a router can be set to drop any yahoo related connection. But most likely just an incompatibility between your note and the router.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeZero:
Could it be a region area cause wifi networks of that size have a lot of different routers all over the place working together and each router can be programed individually to do certain things like drop as the previous post said yahoo related protocol for example so does it work in some areas and not others
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirvana388:
I'm having this exact same problem at my school. The wifi will intermittent reconnect, and sometimes won't automatically connect when I enter the building, regardless of the signal strength. It will say "authentication error" sometimes when it doesn't auto connect. Often it will also reprompt for the WPA key even though the saved one is correct.

Wifi works flawlessly at home, work, and friend's houses, but has issues with the school's.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeZero:
Had similar issues at my school, its not your tablet its the wifi generally the signal strength is bad and that's y i struggles to connects but works sometimes, i realised it was router and signal when even iphones had problems
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonofdays:
I made a topic about this a while back. The success of connecting seems to depend on the proximity to the wireless base station and amount of other wifi devices. Even in the worst environments, if I go into settings and disable/enable wifi multiple times it will eventually connect. I get the authentication error fairly often and just ignore it, disabling/enabling until it connects successfully.

[Galaxy S III General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
Hi guys. I am going to explain my experience and How did I found the solution. It might work for some people but not for others so please try it and see if it works.

Story:-

I was using ARHD 13.0 with siyah kernel 1.6.8 first it was charging very fast as I changed the setting to 1200mAh. but I was keep changing the settings in stweaks and after few days it started to charge very slow. I was putting my phone in charging the whole night and it charged only 30%.

Solution:-

I downloaded the clear data zip from the link below,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1827635

and flashed with CWM. than fter rebooting the phone I RESET the settings in STWEAKS and rebooted in CWM, than clear cache and clear dalvik cache. and now my phone is charging very fast.

I hope this works for you guys too...

Any suggestions for an app that will sync MS Outlook (Calanedar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes, etc) from an XP/Win7 machine? I wouldn't cry if it also replaced the native Calendar and Contact apps... which imo, are pretty weak. Not concerned w/ email.

Btw, new to the Nexus 7... this is one cool machine!

Thanks,

Geoff
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Asovse1:
Calendar, Contacts, and Mail (if you do want it anyway) can be synced natively through Android, with the AOSP e-mail app.

For the other exchange tools, you could find one by searching Exchange ActiveSync on the Play Store.

In the odd case that this WASN'T your answer, and you aren't using Outlook for Corporate purposes, I'd imagine the way to sync your contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes would be to export them through Outlook itself and importing them into Google's services.

Contact export is simple in outlook, all major mail clients support import/export anyway. Calendar I'm not sure if you can set a URL to synchronize on Google Calendar or not, but you could probably export it, too. Same with tasks, and notes, but if those two fail you could probably copy and paste.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sully112277:
Microsoft office is currently in the works for android and iOS believe it or not. Release early next year.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] gcorth:
Thanks Asovse1. I'm not Exchange/Corporate based. Searching the app store, I hit on the likes of VC Organizer, mOffice, Android-Sync, Local Sync, Deja Office, etc and was hoping for some user reviews.

Wonder if MS Office will include Outlook? or just the Word, Excel, Powerpoint components?

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Protibus:
I use Touchdown for our company Exchange users on Android. It integrates fully and synchronizes with Exchange and Outlook good. Closest to Balackberry Exchange services on the market.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mentose457:
I have used VC Organizer Pro. Its been a while though. I originally bought it because it syncs everything including tasks. I have since moved on to Linux, gmail and the native Google tasks.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jaykay1967:
I use this on a daily basis MyPhoneExplorer for Outlook on XP/Droid on JellyBean combo which puts a client on both the PC and Phone/Tablet. It just works.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ro_explorer:
I'm using Moxier Mail for about 2 years now and it is one of the best Microsoft sync tools available. It is syncing everything you listed in the first post.

The only draw back is that is quite expensive (it is by far the most expensive app. I have on my android devices :) ).

This is how it looks on my N7 ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ekerbuddyeker:
Did anyone buy the device without changing their contract and if so how much did you pay?

I know at&t quotes $650 but I'm sure there are ways to buy buy for less (aside from getting axxount credits)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] T.J. Bender:
$650. Only way to lower that is the early upgrade thing for $550, but it extends your contract.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05GT:
Yes it's $649 unless you're able to get the store manager to cut you a deal like I've had done once or twice in the past. I'll be returning my IP5 tomorrow in exchange for the Note 2. I hope they aren't too mad at me. Battery life on the IP5 leaves a lot to be desired.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ekerbuddyeker:
What about price matching? Anyone sell it for less?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05GT:
Outright price has always been cheaper from AT&T. Everywhere else I've seen is $699.99 or more.

What kind of deal u had with the manager to get it cheaper than $650?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05GT:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] servantz:
How did you guys manage to get one off contract? I showed up early this morning and was the first into one store and they would no sell me one without signing a new contract. I even called customer service who called the store to clarify and told me it was up to the manager to decide whether or not they would sell it to me without contract because they are in limited supply. I called another store thinking maybe it was just that one at&t store and I was told the exact same thing by the other store. It's driving me crazy because I was ready to fork over $650 + for this phone. Customer support wouldnt even let me order over the phone because they claim that the phone isn't even in their system yet. Very disappointing day so far...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lmike6453:
Picked mine up from AT&T for $550 plus tax = $593

They extended my contract for 2 yrs from today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsho31:
I had an account already but I just told the guy I was paying the no commitment price and he didnt question it. Rang me up in about 3 or 4 minutes and I was done. I have no idea why they wouldnt sell it to you off contract. My best friend has simple mobile and he went in t mobile to buy his and they let him get his too with no problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1meanrex:
I literally walked in and said I was buying for the off contract price and that was it, guy rang me up and gave me my phone. My brother works for bestbuy mobile and he said that sometimes stores will do that to maximize sales because thats how they will make there money, off the contract instead of the phone. So if you were off contract i can see why they would be pricks about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] servantz:
Man this sucks for me. I am still under contract but the guy didn't even ask. I have called about 10 stores and the story has been the same except for one guy who offered to sell me one for $750 cash only!! I laughed in his face before I hung up that phone. I have a business account and I finally got off the phone with someone who was willing to help me order it, but get this, they charge businesses $100 more for the no contract price...$650 vs $750. That is so close to Best Buy's price of $800 that I stop from ordering it. I will speak with my company's account rep next week but this is really shady business even from At&t. Without my grandfathered unlimited plan I would be walking out the door at this point.

Yeah, you got that right. South Florida = Scumbag Land. This is the shady dealings I have had with a major company in a while. There shouldnt be this big of an issue buying off contract. It clearly lets you do it on the website, although when I tried that it makes me set up a new line of service or I have to act like a new customer. I even thought about buying it as a new customer and then canceling the line, etc. but that it just way to much work for a cell phone. Why they can't just shut up and take my money....I'll never know!

Hey Note2 owners (and soon to be owners),

I tried all afternoon on launch day to pick up one at non-commitment price, but all the AT&T stores here in Los Angeles area wouldn't let me as they were in "limited stock" and reserved for new or upgrade accounts. I even called a friend who knew a manager but he said the same thing. The only way was to order it online as it ships from warehouse.

I do have an issue though and I was wondering if anyone else is in the same shoes as I am.

I placed an order online that same afternoon, but ever since and until now it still shows "Status: Attention" on my order status page. I did call AT&T Premier to make sure, and the rep told me that it's still being processed and take anywhere from 24-48 hrs to finish processing the order, considering that the weekend was non-business days.

Is anyone else who ordered online on launch day still show that status? I've been stuck on my old flip RAZR phone :eek: for a month now since my issue with my S3 being fraudulently reported stolen (a story I might like to tell someday).

Just wondering if it's just bad luck with me or something. I just want my Note 2 and carrying this RAZR is kinda embarrassing lol

Thanks guys for any input.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gary02468:
My online (pre-)order status went from "Pending" or "Processing" to "Shipped". I never saw an "Attention" status, and I believe others here who did said it indicated that there was a problem that was holding up the order. Probably good to check with them again.

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

Why not order it online? That seems to have worked smoothly for most people. I did that (for the full no-contract $650) and kept my grandfathered unlimited data plan (although initially AT&T changed it to a 3GB plan, and I had to call and have the unlimited plan restored).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] divadkha:
Since you mentioned the "Pending" status, I recall that every time I checked using a mobile device, it would go to the mobile version of the status page and show "Pending" status instead of the "Attention" from desktop version.

From what the AT&T rep told me was that the "Attention" status was just to review the account before shipping. I guess making sure the account is in good status before shipping out a $700 order. It sucks though that after launch day + all weekend + Monday and I'm still waiting for an update.

I'm literally checking every hour, and can't sleep until my order status changes. Hopefully soon.......

One question Gary02468, how long did it take in between status changes for you? Just wondering.

Sorry for being impatient guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] androidoholic:
If you can find a Best Buy that has them in stock they will price match to the $649 price AT&T offers. I too went to multiple stores trying to get the Note 2 off contract, but no one would sell it to me. Finally I called Best Buy just to see if they had it. Not only did they have it but they offered to hold it for me, and didn't hesitate to price match AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gary02468:
I pre-ordered on Oct. 25, so it took until Nov. 7 before the status changed to "Shipped".
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yumcax:
Hi, if you haven't heard of it the Samsung Note II has a very interesting feature: Split screen multi window support. Here's a video:

[YOUTUBE]k6c7XaDWmJg[/YOUTUBE]

As you can see, it works very well and makes multitasking on the device a breeze. The video states that only a few apps are supported which is kind of correct; devs can add support to their apps with a single line of code, or you can flash a new list of supported apps to manually add support for the ones you want.

In my opinion, if this was added to AOSP it could be the killer feature that would set Android apart from iOS. But that's not the point of my post, what I'm wondering is if this feature can be ported to run on the Nexus 4. I don't know much about Android development, but it seems like there are two options for this to happen:

1. Port Touchwiz from the Note II to the Nexus 4, and then remove bloatware apps/retheme so that it looks more like AOSP.

2. Somehow remove the split-screen component from the touchwiz ROM, port to AOSP, profit.

Obviously #2 is preferable, but pretty far fetched. Can any developer folk provide some insight on whether either of these are feasible? I would really love to heave this feature on my phone.

Split-Screen apps is not part of touchwiz it is part of the framework (for lack of a better term) system behind touchwiz. There are people on the GNote10 forum here at xda that have rooted and are running different launchers other than touchwiz but they are still getting Split-Screen Multitasking.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
That's what I thought but there are several people that say they have replaced (what they call the ugly resource hog) TouchWiz and still have the multi-screens by replacing the launcher. So they claim the muli-screens are part of the (their name for it) framework. All I know is I wish the multi-screens and floating windows could be part of Android so multi-screens and floating windows could be on all android devices because they really help productivity.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yumcax:
Essentially, Google asked Onskreen/Cyanogenmod to stop. The touchwiz version doesn't have the same compatibility problems because the app developer must integrate support into his app, instead of it working automatically.

They are referring to touchscreen as the visible elements (adjustments to notifications, touchwiz launcher, etc.) and in the technical sense. They have only hidden these elements, not removed them (except for the launcher and default apps). The ROM is still based off of a touchwiz ROM, and not AOSP, hence the multi window options remain.
