Hay,

i just transfer from SGN I to SGN II. First thing i would like to do is to root my device. When connect my phone to PC it connect as MTP.

In developer options I have choose USB debugging, but phone dont connect that mode.

I have installed Samsung Galaxy Note2 ToolKit, but that doesnt help.

I have no idea what to do...with SGN I, everything work just fine.

Can someone give me some pointers what to do?

Tnx 4 helping...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pig Vomit:
Hi, all.

I'm down in Mexico on TelMex Infinitum internet service with their really lousy Thomson T585v8 DSL router using WPA2/AES security, on, I think, an n signal (router only runs n on a b/g/n or b/g setting, I have it set to b/g/n). My SGS3 firmware is stock unrooted LJ4.

When the wifi connection isn't strong, or the internet speed isn't fast enough, the WiFi Calling icon turns red and gives me an "09" error code saying I need to register a 911 address before I can use WiFi Calling. When I move back into range with full bars on the WiFi signal, sometimes it corrects itself....but other times I need to reboot my phone. It's a pain in the butt and I do have a (US) 911 address registered.

Not really asking for advice....just wanted to make a post about it so that others can be aware (include T-Mobile) of this pesky problem and post their similar experiences (if they are having them). Give me a "weak signal" error, but an incorrect "911 address missing" error and a failure to automatically reconnect is a problem.

Heads up if you are planning on using WiFi Calling on a weak or slow international connection.

I will say that my WiFi Calling voice/call quality has been amazingly good when WiFi Calling is connected down here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Tldr trying to help anyway. If there is a 911 error then you need to address something within the T-Mobile website and your login. Google search it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pig Vomit:
Already went there a few days ago when I first experienced the problem, re-entered and re-saved 911 address information. No change in behavior.

Didn't have this problem on my old Vibrant which I used down here on same setup (our house) as recently as last May.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Can you call T-Mobile from a landline?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pig Vomit:
I think maybe you misread my original post.

I have intermittent connection problems with WiFi Calling. I can get it to work, it's just picky and sometimes requires a reboot. I can call 611 via WiFi Calling, but really don't want to bother, as this falls into the "nitpicking" category right now. As long as I can get it to work, get my voicemail, etc., I'm good. No landline here anyway.

I do, however, appreciate your attempts to help.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zander145:
I can lurk no further.

I've never actually purchased a screen protector before... But looking around at all these choices... So confusing!

From what I've gathered.

http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechS...TF8&colid=22ZDSI283Y0PB&coliid=I1KCRW9PCVVJ28

http://www.bestskinsever.com/google-nexus-4-skin

http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-...protectors/google-nexus-4-full-body-protector

Are the best options. But some people seem to want the dry screen protectors and I have no idea why, I work at Best Buy and people seem to love the Zagg ones. They are easy to install too. Not cheap, About 25 HD one and 15 for installation for the iPad Mini. But everybody here comments on how crappy Zagg is. I looked at the Skinomi full bodies and I like the idea. Since the N4 has a nice design on the back, I don't want to cover that up with something other than a clear protector.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
I'm not really sure which ones are the "best". For my gnex I ended up buying a 6 pack of cheap-o's for like $1.20 and they worked fine. If I end up getting any for my nexus 4 I think I will just do the body one and not the screen. I have never scratched a screen before, am very careful with my devices, but I feel like since the back is glass that could easily get scratched. I dont want to have an amazing screen and have to ruin it by putting a piece of plastic over it. Quick question though, what factors are you interested in in finding the best screen protector?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] versd:
I suppose using a screen protector will destroy the whole purpose of the 'zerogap' display tech right
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venturizhou:
My personal experience with the full body skins is generally poor. It may due to my lack of skills but I find putting on the back protector utterly infuriating due to the fact that getting the sides and corners to fit perfectly well to be very difficult. I have watched suggestions from some installation videos that ask for the use of a hair dryer to help the corners stick but in general I don't get an exactly perfect fit.

I usually just stick to a generic front faced screen protector, it doesn't seem to be worth it to pay around $20 for essentially a piece of plastic over my screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
Exactly. Plus I feel like they take away from the quality too

You took a ton of pictures! Ive never had a 100% invisible screen protector, always made the screen look just a tad worse no matter what. I just feel like the plastic holds the oil from your hands a lot worse than glass.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MN_Bug:
I was always against screen protectors too but after scratching my screen I now buy like 2 dozen cheap ones from e-bay and use those. It takes me about 6 tries every time I put one on. I don't believe all the hype about one being better than another. Some of the higher priced ones come from the same company with different cool names. Meh.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
I used the cheap ebay ones for my galaxy nexus, they worked fine. They did collect a crazy amount of fingerprints though. I think it is better just to buy a 6 pack of those for about a dollar than 1 "good" one for like 15-20 bucks. Doesnt really make sense
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjcks:
You've clearly only used the crappy cheap eBay ones to make such a statement.

I've installed more than I'd like to admit, from manufacturers such as zagg, bodyguardz, phantom skinz, skinomi, BestSkinsEver etc etc

There are differences between all.

There are ones that are better than others.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kefloxin:
Which do you recommend as the best? I feel like most cheap generic ones take on fingerprints easily and I've never tried a good brand, so I might be willing to buy one this time around.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiowas82:
There should be a small gap between the frame and the back glass, maybe the screen protector could just fit in it, if you know what I mean
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryukeima:
I love Realook on eBay. Their screen protectors look and feel just like the glass in my opinion. Perfectly sized and self adhesive. I hate the ones that require moisture to put on and are stretchy and have the rubbery/orange peel effect. Once I discovered Realook, I buy all my protectors from them. And no, I do not work for them, I just feel that strongly about them haha. My phone screen might not ever get scratched without it, because I am careful, but this at least gives me the peace of mind to not worry.

In my experience, screen protectors are a necessity. Screens may be very scratch resistant, but the keyword is "resistant". There are several minerals that can scratch the screen with ease, and they can be found in many places, even the little grooves of gunked up coins. My wife has scratched almost every phone screen she has had once the screen protector comes off. Whether she keeps it in her clean purse or in her pocket, it doesn't matter.

Take a look at a Realook link: Realook screen protectors

I currently have a Skinomi on my Optimus V, and it has treated me well. It was wet apply, and after more than 2 years, it is only just beginning to peel off in the place where it was slightly off when I applied it. It's completely transparent (you can only tell it's there in certain light, plus the fact it's peeling in the one spot :P) and very resistant to fingerprints. I pretty much only have to wipe the screen off if I've eaten something greasy and then touched the screen. It is also very easy to slide your finger over it. It also has a lifetime warranty so if it breaks I can send it in and get a new one for free!

I think I'm going to try out a BestSkinEver for the N4 though. I like the idea of a full body (sides, back, front, camera, etc) protector. Plus its relatively cheap and I've heard only good things about them.

As you can see my Sequential and Random 512K read speeds are blazing fast, but are the 512KB write and 4KB read/write speeds sufficient for use as swap memory?

Hopefully the author of the thread in question will see this and answer, if not hopefully you all have enough expertise in that subject to help with my question. Thanks! :D

P.S. I don't have a custom ROM yet, or even root access. The reason being I bought a phone without knowing the USB port was faulty. :( A failed self repair later left me with a working but irreparable Sensation. :crying: So I am am about to get a working sensation that I CAN root, :D and in preparation of that, I wanted to know if I have a good SD for a swap partition. That's all. Thanks for reading. :)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Hi,

I didn't see your post, but malybru PMed me, so thanks malibru ;)

Wow, first time I see sucb thorrough tests prior to give this a go !

What you should consider in your tests, are 4Kb block randdom reads/writes, as that comes close to what swap actually does, jt will read/write memory pages from/to the card, and a page is 4Kb in size.

I've been using hardswap on my HD2 on a Transcend 32Gb class 4 for quite a bit, and used it in my Sensation in the beginning to switch to the Lexar 32Gb class 10 (can't say I really noticed any difference), and that's the card I now use on my SGS3.

Hope this helps ;) And feel free to ask further questions here, I'll keep en eye on your thread.

JP.

[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
eemodca Greek

I was hoping you would be the one to answer! lol. :D

a few questions :p

1: So what is the ideal 4KB read and write speed? And what cards are best to use? (if you know)

2: In the future I plan on getting a SanDisk Ultra 32GB class 10 MicroSDHC, (although my sequential read speeds are all I really care about and that won't change if I get a Sandisk Ultra) in your thread you mentioned, in response to a question, that class 10 cards do indeed have better sequential read and write speeds, but they suffer in Random 4KB read/write speeds compared to class 4 and 6 cards, does this remain true with more modern cards? So if I plan on using a Sandisk Ultra Class 10 it'll perform worse for swap then my current class 4?

3: What random 4KB r/w speeds did you get with your class 4 Transcend 32GB? VS your Lexar Class 10?

4: Will having a dedicated swap partition have increased Random 4KB r/w speed? As opposed to FAT32 Random 4KB r/w speeds.

5: Do you think my lousy speeds will be okay? Are they normal speeds?

6: I want more ram, but if having a slow SD card for swap causes unnecessary lag, then I'm actually considering doing a soft swap with internal memory, as I can easily use link2SD with a normal 2nd partition to make up for the drop in space. And like someone else said on the main thread, the internal memory is much higher quality and will likely last WAY longer then a SD card so i'm not THAT concerned about it, and wouldn't do it unless it would truly make a difference. Would it make a difference in speed?

Thanks for you help! :D

Looking forward to your reply.
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
ZRAM

Also, many Roms come with zram enabled. Will that improve my RAM performance? I doubt they would add it if it wouldn't, but i don't really understand zram. I know all it does is compress and decompress part of the RAM. But how does it truly affect use? And If hard swap is better, how would I disable zram for it?

Thanks. :)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Speed cannot say, never benched my cards like you did. From experience a class 6 is fine, class 10 maybe, as class determination changed from 6 to 10, up to 6, there needed to be a minial random write throughput, for class 10 (aimed at HD cameras) there is a minimal sequential write throughput.

Have a read here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating

You may already have read the wiki I now just figured ;)

The fact is, that there is certainty about random access performance, one could be good, the other bad...

My Lexar class 10 is performing just fine in my SGS3.

To be honest, I ran both on my Sensation, and I saw no difference on swap performance.

Slighty yes, as there is no filesystem overhead.

As mentioned above, dunno...

Internal memory is certainly the faster as the bottleneck is the sdcard controller, which for internal memory is no sdcard controller.

It being of better quality, honestly, I don't think so, maybe compared to cheap ones, but no high-end cards like the one you mention. But we're talking on a "belief" level, I couldn't tell any more than most of us, you'd have to speed to someone that has both menufactured :angel:

If I can help any more, just ask your questions ;)

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
Okay, well i guess i'll just have to try it. lol. But I also asked a question about zram? it's in a separate post, below the big one with the 6 questions, (now that I think about it I could've just edited my first post) so you didn't see it. Can you answer my question?

Thanks. :)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I'm no big fan of zram ... but that's just me, I'm certain for some it may be good.

I'd suggest (as I've written a lot about this) you have a look in two threads :

1) my sgs3 kernel thread OP, scroll to Virtual Memory in the Arome Settings Explained section

2) in the FAQ of my sgs3 hardswap mod thread (3rd post) and look for zram

That should make it quite clear I hope ;)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
Currently running both a 4s and a note.

I would say the way the iPhone handles apps and games better, It freezes apps in the background to reopen very quickly, Seems to work in particular with heavy games a hell of a lot better than the note. Which seems to have to reload its launcher and the large app/game each time. But saying that games do look fab when they run well on the note.

The 4s has a crisper screen and text is clearer. Even though its considerable smaller.

With the 4s your not temp to constantly change things, so get to actually use the device instead of flashing Roms. Changing this and that.

The array of high quality games is incredible. Zynga have so many more brilliant online games for iOS. Than android I'm afraid just had confirmation via email that zynga are not in the near future planning to port chess, gems or matching with friends to android, real shame as games look great on the bigger screen.

iMessage is really useful if you have other iOS friends which all of mine are.

You can use other messengers but its so easy with iMessage Why bother using anything else.

Sound quality on the iPhone is far superior to the note. No low volume hiss or clipping. Music sounds fuller and clear on the iPhone.

The iPhone is simply to small. Even the iPhone 5 is too small.

Battery life is about the same

Additional sdcard memory is fantastic on the note. And removable battery allows for quick swap of battery instead of having to source a charger.

Cameras are daily equal. Although the 4s is far quicker to load and take shots.

Notifications on android by far knock iOS for six. The little icons on the top bar are so much more helpful.

If your a comic/ book reader the note is a joy. Even though the iPhone has a lovely crisp screen the size simply blows the iPhone away.

Internet browsing is by far better on the note.

Having widgets that update your Facebook and twitter without having to load apps is superb. But I guess hammers the ram. Thus occasional redraws of launchers.

I'm currently trying to make my mind up which one to sell.

But.

The note has that huge colourful screen that allows stylus use which is pretty handy when it comes to quick notes and drawing apps.
