[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
As I understand it, the T-Mobile LTE hardware has been disabled but is expected to be enabled via OTA update in 2013 where I've read people expect it to work on AT&T's LTE. I haven't heard anyone being able to enable it yet http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34474595&postcount=63 so it hasn't been confirmed to my knowledge. In my still limited neighborhood speed tests of all major carriers T-Mobile surprisingly offered the best consistent speeds indoors by far & outdoors was not significantly different than Verizon LTE in terms of network experience (although Verizon did peak higher outdoors was surprisingly weak indoors).

If you pay full price for the Note2 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34899105&postcount=2 like I will likely do without service, then activate online & can go prepaid $30/mo plan or according to salesperson I spoke to yesterday at (877) 353-3614 can even try the service out with a pay by the day plan but since I've already done preliminary speed tests on a friends S3 I will likely just try the $30 mo plan. I do have an order # for the grey but haven't provided my payment info yet since it wouldn't ship until Monday at earliest anyway & I'm trying to get more answers on multi-view that I want..

Not sure anything is really futureproof in terms of the best experience but is the best ATM IMO.:cool:

Let us know what you're thinking or decide..

If you are not a TMobile Customer, do you still get the warranty honored by Samsung?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _atlien_:
I'm shocked that people on XDA (who tend to be a bit more discerning than the average consumer) are still buying phones on contract. I have a paypal if you really don't need your money. Send it to me. I bought my Note 2 on CL for $450 almost a month ago. New in box. That kind of deal will be rare but you will definitely save at least a hundred bucks on CL. Only drawback is that squaretrade doesn't work with CL purchases.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
I was told yes it carries the 1 yr warranty yesterday when I spoke to T-Mobile web at (877) 353-3614. I was told I had 30 days for a full refund on the Note2 (although would have to mail it to them in Tennessee at my expense if returned-likely less than <$10, there would be no restocking fee) but no refund on the prepaid service itself hence the day rates I mentioned above. I didn't get into the warranty procedure yet so if you or anyone knows or finds out post back because it's worth knowing before dropping that cash. I will call my local T-Mobile store to see if I can score a comparable deal & ask about their restocking fees & warranty service before deciding..

It might be worthwhile for you to confirm all this with T-Mobile web at (877) 353-3614 & post back. -Thnx:cool:

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

For some use cases (that honestly I'm not entirely familiar with besides possibly reducing upfront investment) contracts may prove worthwhile if they better suit your use case but I agree that T-Mobile offers such flexibility with their plans that it's another reason I'm considering them now that the Note2 is available on all major carriers (though my speed tests were also what brought them to my attention).

When I checked CL today I could save only ~$68 including the nearly $48 in tax which doesn't seem worth it to me personally..glad it worked out for you though:) Appreciate you pointed out the squaretrade drawback -Thnx:cool:

Not running into getting blacklisted is sometimes worth full retail, just saying specially now that att and tmobile will merge their blacklist database
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _atlien_:
Well, the OP says he wants to avoid a 2 year lockin with a carrier, which I agree with, considering the savings ($500-$1400 depending on the carrier and plan and that's AFTER accounting for the phone subsidy).

In Atlanta GN2s go for $575 which gives you greater than $100 savings on the device. And again, $50/month on SM vs $80/month on TMO is for me a no-brainer if one can come up with the phone. Carriers are a rip-off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] papabear:
Yes, it's a manufacturer warranty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
As I mentioned earlier in the thread I plan to try T-Mobile's $30/mo plan so I hear you.

I did just call my local T-Mobile store & it's $50+tax more than http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34899105&postcount=2 & 14 day return policy instead of 30 day grace period online & has a $50 restocking fee vs zero online I was told (though have to pay for return shipping likely <$10).

I did call T-Mobile web at (877) 353-3614 to follow-up on how the 1 yr warranty is serviced. I was told instead of taking it into a T-Mobile store you, you'd have to mail it to a US service center (at your expense but you'd be paying for gas-car expenses likely if taking it to a store) after troubleshooting yielded a Return Authorization. If you couldn't wait for a new one to be mailed to you after they received the returned one, then they do offer a replacement at a replacement fee of $50 where you would have to mail the old one to the center within 7 days (or likely incur the full cost of replacement so I'd mail the returned one with some insurance should it get lost).. They told me Samsung service would also be an option so I assume if you did not have T-Mobile service that would still be an option for you & if you want the T-Mobile service help could add a month or possibly even day plan..

Still sounds reasonable to me & where I'm leaning now. If T-Mobile had the official multi-view I'd be more certain that I'd provide my payment info on the order..-Personally I feel better about that option than Graigslist ATM.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
Can you apply a Squaretrade warranty on T-Mobiles Non-Contract Samsing Galaxy Note 2? Or are all carrier-related phones not covered under Squaretrade whether contract or not?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] funziebear:
Squaretrade will cover it if its new or refurbished bought feom a major reseller
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
so if I buy it from best buy I may be covered, right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
And you can unlock the note 2 for free.

..sales tax however might be unavoidable depending on what country you purchase from. I assume you are from somewhere other than the US?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
im from the states, guess you can't avoid tax, unless you're in delaware, lol

:p

so I guess squaretrade doesn't cover unlocked tmobile phones, right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _atlien_:
Square trade covers unlocked phones. You must buy from a legit store online or offline though. They will not cover grey market purchases. Though they do have a provision for ebay. They couldn't afford to not include ebay since so much business is done there.

Good luck and welcome in advance to the GN2. It's a great device. I do EVERYTHING on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MisterEdF:
FWIW if you buy a NON-subsidized phone from T-Mobile you have 30 days to return (w/10% restocking). Subsidized phones only have 14 days. It's on the receipt in the fine print and I have already returned a Galaxy S3 at day 29 when the GN2 came out with no problem. AMEX even refunded my restocking fee.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] NICEGYPT:
Hey everybody. I just came from Nexus 4 :) My note 2 it's on the way from Walmart 295$ total. It's good price I think. Just want to say hello to my new family :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
Therefore, I get only a 1-year Samsung warranty, right? And that too is directly from the manufacturer right? Does Samsung require the phone to be provisioned with T-Mobile for the warranty to be applicable?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
I was told there is no restocking fee with 30 day grace period if you buy it from: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-No-Annual-Contract (though have to pay the return shipping likely <$10):

It should be a 1 yr warranty if bought in US from authorized reseller, could try Samsung at (888) 987-4357 with your concerns..

BTW, some credit cards will double a 1 yr warranty..I'll call mine before providing payment. Even if get a Note3 in less than 1yr I still would like the Note2 to last:)..

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

$295 on contract I assume.. How long did you have the Nexus4 & had you considered the Note2 before your purchase? - Welcome BTW:)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] NICEGYPT:
Yes I am on contract. I love nexus line I had the nexus 4 for 12 days :) It's nice device but can't do not even half of the stuff I was doing with my GS3. LG is frailer. Issue with earpiece, rattle and I am 100% sure it's not fixable with software, this a hardware issue. Google played it right. So I returned Nexus to tmobile and tried to get the note at moment but they are freaking expensive. So I checked Walmart it was 259.99 in total so I got and waiting for it right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] raduque:
Not everybody has $700 lying around to throw at a phone. I'm glad you're that well off that you can pay full retail whenever a phone you want is out. Since you seem to have tons of cash just lying around, why don't you send $700 my way? I could use some new tires on my truck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lt23:
How did you get AMEX to refund the restocking fee?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
T-Mobile's very own website does not sell products through an Authorized Re-seller, right? Shouldn't the phones sold via T-Mobiles site carry 1-year warranty even though the recipient is not a T-Mobile customer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bongbillawong:
If u register your phone with Samsung u get an extra 2 year warranty. That goes w any samsung product u purchase and register.

For the folks who use the Rogers E971 variation of the LGOG, your wait is almost over. I've been compiling a carrier/bloat-free ROM and I'm just about ready to package and sign.

Sorry for the delay folks but the file is uploading now. Typically, I use freefilehosting.net to host my files but that site doesn't seem to like the large file. So, I've been left to use Dropbox. If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to drop me a PM aside from sharing off of my own server.

I ask the Bell and Telus users to send me a PM and we can talk about getting it to work for you guys as well.

[HTC EVO 3D] Ryu.Hayabusa:
I saw CyanogenMod10 with JellyBean for Evo3D phones on here, so I decided to give it a try since ICS is running like crap on my phone, only problem is I can't get past the boot animation. This was on Hboot 1.58, so I read around and most people said you have to downgrade to 1.4 or an Engineering version for it to work. Another said you have to completely unroot and re-root, which I tried with no success.

Well I was successful in the temp brick + linux live cd downgrade, I am now running Hboot 1.40. The problem is with the 1.13 RUU not wanting to install, it gives me a bootloader version error after a few minutes of attempting to update the phone. ICS not surprisingly boot loops or freezes on boot animation.

I did read somewhere that bricking the phone twice works, though I don't quite understand how. If someone can confirm it does work I'm willing to do it.

Here's the guide I was following:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1563342

And I'm currently stuck on:

28. Now. Reboot into Windows and run the 1.13 RUU EXE that you downloaded.

Another question I just thought of, do I even need to flash 1.13? Would I be able to just flash the jellybean rom onto the phone now?

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Ryu.Hayabusa:
Nevermind, I got it working!

Did the brick twice in a row and was able to then update to the 1.13 RUU.

Just read through the posts, directions and use the "tweakbox" module to choose the volume track skip function. It worked fine on my stock odexed rooted Note 2. I have only tested it with stock and neutron music player, but I imagine it would work with any player that responds to headset controls.

So you no longer have to keep asking the ROM developers to do this, and if you like running stock you will be set.

Hi everyone. I use a (non-official) flip cover. I ordered a screen protector but have yet to put it on. Here is my question-do I need it? The only things that come into contact with my screen now are my fingers & stylus. When in my purse pocket or car seat it is covered with the flip. I've been reading and do believe gorilla glass will scratch relatively easily with everyday grit and such. But with fingers & plastic tipped pen? What does everyone think?

Sent from my wet dream phone (GN2)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Chan_B:
Your risk of scratching is reduced because of it not being exposed all the time. But there is still a risk. Thats why people always want to use a screen protector. Why wait till its scratched when you can prevent it in the first place properly.
