i'm just worry about the embarrassments if it doesnt work. maybe i'll try it when i'm the only one at the casher.

or when i go Reno NV during my vacation to test it, they have nfc vending machines over there!

I told the cashier I was testing it before I tried and that I would have to use a regular card if it didn't.. The people behind me seemed as interested as I was. The cashier said "wow...that's pretty cool".

Anyone with this done successfully wanna make a flashable zip? Would only need to grab the files in the zip in linked thread and then replace the ones in hte old zip with the ones from your file system. This would help all att users and that user also so they wouldnt have to do the mod over and over, just flash the zip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmjkxa:
The one in the thread posted is a flashable zip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jug6ernaut:
Which is said to be specifically for Verizon users...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmjkxa:
It says flashable zip for those WITH cwm meaning att and tmo. Verizon users have to manually place each file because they can't flash it.

Ready to try. Does the S beam need to be ON? Anyone recommend any stores?

Edit: Tried at 2 CVSs. Not yet working. The first store: bip bip, showed the "Reader detect, please ask the cashier if it goes through or touch again" (switch back the original build.prop after add card)

then second store: i changed the build.prop name back to Nexus, reboot . Not even detect.

Hey Guys i recently just flashed my phone with ICS and it came up with error, then i replugged the phone the computer no longer recongised my phone and it can no longer enter SW mode, windos asked me to update and install drivers although i already had. I now cannot flash a new rom and it's bricked, i tried it on several computer but with no luck, i am sorry i am a newb and searched no answers help guys please?
[LG Optimus 2x] punyategar:
Just smart flash/nvflash it with any stock ROM you can get.

Not trying to be rude.

When you press both volume + & -, the phone goes to apx mode. There will be only blank screen and notification on windows that its an apx device.

When only pressing volume -, then its smart flash mode. Smart flash program will recognize it.

hey guys, just wanted to say thanks for all the help i've received and the knowledge and info i have picked up along the way. the G2x was my first android device and i have spent many a night reading through posts to find out what i needed. i hope i was able to give back a bit here.

i sold my G2x so i could get a Galaxy S III so i will be over in that section of the woods (and the xoom section)

hope the G2x gets CM10 soon. i was going to wait and see when that came out but had to pull the trigger on the S3 before the deal got away from me

again thanks to everyone here who has helped me learn about what these Android devices are all capable of! see ya around!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abalakersky:
Hello everyone,

My GN2 has been ordered from UK and I am based in US. I have looked everywhere for any idea on how to change this but am not able to find anything.

The phone is set to English US. The Samsung Keyboard has English UK, German, and Chinese by default, but they are not selected and instead I have English US and Russian downloaded and selected. Voice typing and Google Now all have English US selected and installed as offline voice data.

However, in S Note settings, Handwriting input language selection only has English UK, German, and Chinese available for selection and nothing else seems to be available.

Does anyone know a way to change this to English US?

Thanks,
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swejuggalo:
I think you need to flash to a rom for your region.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abalakersky:
It would be hard considering there is no US firmware for N7100 but the question is since in every other setting phone has options to choose multiple different languages why S Note has only 3 languages hardcoded, and if there is a way to change that.

Has anyone come from a S3 LTE?

The size puts me off, but I had a play around with one yesterday and absolutely loved it.

Please convince me! lol :)
[Galaxy Note II General] alphaola:
Please dont buy it because once you go big you can't go back. I love mine and everything else feels so small.
[Galaxy Note II General] winwiz:
what phone have you come from buddy
[Galaxy Note II General] alphaola:
Galaxy Nexus
[Galaxy Note II General] gandalf21502:
Came from a S3 LTE...Loved the S3...LOVE the Note 2 more...lol. The speed, battery life, screen, all much better! The size at first was a little big, but after using it a bit when I pick up my S3 it seems so small. The note 2 is well worth the upgrade IMOP.
[Galaxy Note II General] riz157:
Having used S3 and now note 2 I would say n2 is a far better phone bar couple issues. Screen resolution and camera are better on s3 if you can live with that then go for it however I would recommend waiting for HTC's Butterfly DLX before you makeup your mind. If I had a choice and both butterfly and note 2 where available I would definitely go for butterfly, purely due to far superior design and specs
[Galaxy Note II General] winwiz:
cameras seem the same, is the screen res noticeably different?
[Galaxy Note II General] drahmed86:
or u'd betta hold and wait for SGS4 or SGN3 huhuhuhuh :cool:
[Galaxy Note II General] deezid:
My now sold Galaxy S3 LTE had the best Amoled screen (in terms of color reproduction) I've ever seen. Absolutely no color cast! My Note 2 has the worst LCD in terms of color reproduction, it is completely yellow... :(
[Galaxy Note II General] gandalf21502:
I see no difference in the camera whatsoever. I believe they are the same hardware, camera wise. As far as the screen, when I set my S3 beside my N2...N2 wins. The pentile of the S3 is just not as good...IMOP.
[Galaxy Note II General] Lucidmike:
multi tasking (split screen), lets me watch videos and surf the net. Forget that popup video player. It blocks the screen and is more of an annoyance. split screen video watching and web surfing is definitely the real way to do it.

bigger screen. You get used to the size. The S3 starts feeling uncomfortably small in about a week. You want to be using the Note 2 when making that realization.

S Pen...AirView on webpages totally rocks.

S Note...ability to have a device to write on as soon as it is out of your pocket is a big deal.

Battery life...is as good as you can get for a smartphone.

You do have to get used to the size a little. It is uncomfortable in my jeans when walking up stairs and sitting, but it is a small price to pay for an amazing device.
[Galaxy Note II General] dryspuri:
If interested I would like to exchange with you, I find it quite big, but absolute beauty.

[Galaxy Note II General] americasteam:
I also came from the LTE S3. Everything about this phone is better (screen, fluidity, speed, hardware, etc). Go for it if the size doesn't bother you. I love it.

I usually change phones every couple of months, but this may be the only phone I've ever owned that may hold me over until the next version releases. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] DeMi-GoD:
Also came from the att s3 to the att note 2. You can't compare them. The note 2 smashes the s3 in every way. The screen is so much brighter. The loud speaker is at least twice as good. It's way faster. Everything on this phone is perfect except s note should open faster. I rate it 9.8/10

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note II General] victorator:
Actually the screen brightness is identical but it is much faster than a 1gb S3.

Loudspeaker is the best but the most important thing is that the Note 2 will last 8 hours of screen time with no problems!! That is just amazing!
[Galaxy Note II General] DeMi-GoD:
Yeah easily 8 hours. Idk, the note 2 feels much brighter to me for sure.

Hello

I bough what it looks like a brand new i717 on craigslist at @ $200. It is in pristine condition, boxed with all the accessories including a genuine flip case... everything fresh and still smelling like new. It has a bad IMEI though.

The seller said it was a display unit on an AT&T store and that they block the IMEIs of the phones that are removed from the display counter. The guy even had an AT&T t-shirt... Truth or lie? I don't know, it still seemed a great deal to me and I bought it anyway since I've seen them on ebay selling well above $300 in "used" (all scratched up) condition.

So, I have two questions:

-Is it true that a blocked IMEI will work overseas? (I also took the risk on buying it because I will move overseas in a few months)

-Is there anything I can do to use it now with my T-Mobile account?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] melcali:
Not sure about it working overseas. No experience.

But you could also sell it to somebody who wants to use it on T-Mobile USA since a bad AT&T IMEI doesnt matter on T-Mo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Radimus:
Looks like you are screwed unless you can find stuff to manage stolen phones... I'd take our as a lesson of "if it looks too good to be true..."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 93starletgt:
Really? I thought AT&T and T-mobile shared a blacklisted IMEI database. Can anyone confirm if it will work with T-mobile?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jacky37:
If you unlocked it, it can work overseas and if you root it and flash t mobile blaze ics modem you can use it on T-Mobile like what I'm doing now getting hspa speed :):)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrGalione973:
yeah they have an alliance that will track imei numbers as of 12/1/12...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] truth77:
I have two questions, are you trying to call at&t and have them turn the phone on or are you just putting a sim card in and its not working? And if you did put a working at&t sim in without calling what did it say or do on the phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 93starletgt:
No, I haven't called At&t at all... I don't think I'm going to have any luck asking them to fix the imei of a blacklisted phone that I boought on Craiglist... I do have a T-mobile sim but I haven't inserted it yet. Why? because I have read many times that if you insert a sim on a phone with a blocked imei they will block the sim card automatically...:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 93starletgt:
Oh that sucks. I will unlock it and take it with me overseas... I guess I shouldn't have any problems using it there (Lima, Peru).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 93starletgt:
Ok this sucks even more. A friend grabbed the phone and inserted his own AT&T sim card just to "see what happens"... his line got automatically suspended. It didn't even work when inserted the sim back to his own phone. Of course this has just happened a few minutes ago (Saturday night when customer service is closed).

I will call customer care tomorrow. Do any of you guys know what are the steps to restore the line? Is it just a simple call or does he need to buy a new sim?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] melcali:
whoa that sucks. i didnt know they are that quick to take action.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Radimus:
That is a great way to screw with people that try to steal phones...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 93starletgt:
I agree. He called ATT this morning and his line was suspended as "lost or stolen". The rep never said anything about using the sim on a blacklisted device or anything similar. They restored his service right away,

Anyway... my i717 is now stored and I won't mess with it until I move overseas. Beware of inserting your sim on an blacklisted device!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
Not to hijack your thread, but a "friend" of mine just stole a brand new note from best buy and wants me to help him unlock and root it. Not that I really care about best buy (and I really don't care that he stole it) but I'm thinking on refusing on general principle just because his actions raise the prices of phones and service for the rest of us. What would you do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Radimus:
I'd tell your friend, that if he was clever enough to steal it, then he should be clever enough to get a job and buy one... the thieving little socialist.

In the principle of helping anyone root their phone, I'd not do it for them. I would help them read and learn how to do it, as that helps general understanding of what they are doing and may eliminate future help calls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scottx .:
Have you tried using it on Straight Talk? Its att so it probably wouldn't work. Just an idea.

Want to sell it? I'll buy it from you. Mine has a dead pixel and while its annoying it's not bad enough for me to buy a new $220 screen.

I wouldn't have a friend like this. Can't stand a f'n thief. I'm an anti-cop kind of person but I've been ripped off and it sucks. Tell him to kiss your as#. I hope he gets busted when he puts a sim in it.

Cell Spa sales stolen phones

Unfortunately I bought a Galaxy S2 in September from a cell phone store (" Cell Spa" in Sugar Land Texas) that sales stolen Phones. I was able to call AT&T and told them to release my SIM card and they did. They told me the IMEI on the phone was linked to a stolen phone so basically there was nothing I could do. They are not concerned about returning the phone to the original person who claimed the theft so I'm stuck with a blacklisted phone????:crying:

another story

1. bought att galaxy s3 from craigslist for $350 (not a too good to be true price)

2. put my att sim card and tested it. everything worked

3. came home. line blocked. att said stolen phone. att took the opportunity to take off $30 unlimited data plan and $5 200 messages(those sneaky bastards)

4. contacted seller. hw wont take it back(obviously)

5. went to police. they said they dont have a report that this phone is stolen in their database. they dont have a fraud department to look into the case even though i had the details of the seller (the smartass left his resume, other details on the phone b4 he sold it to me)

6. i dont want to be a hero and break into his house and get my money back. not worth the risk.

7. unlocked the phone and put in a tmobile sim. got the mm#6 message after a few mins. so tmobile has also blocked this imei

Result: stuck with a $350 galaxy player.

You have all this illegal phone sellers information? Do you have pictures of him? I'd start posting things online saying how much of a crook this guy is. I'd print flyers with the guys face on it saying "this guy sold me a stolen phone!" and post them up and down his street! Try your local tv news station and news paper. We have local channel 5 tv show called "5 on your side" where the news will actually go contact the guy on camera and ask about your phone!

Don't do ANYthing illegal though like breaking into his house. Your only stooping to his level.
