[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snavid972:
Quick question.... Since we don't have an SD card to put our backups on anymore... Such as ROM toolbox or nandroid backups... we tend to put roms on our phone but we have to wipe our phone to put new ROM on.. That then deletes our backups as we have top do a full wipe...... How can we get it not to delete them
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbeebe24:
Sdcard data is left intact unless you choose to format the card. Its not necessary to format the card to install roms. Just wipe data and both caches and you're good to go
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snavid972:
well see thats the problem when I connect my nexus 4 to my computer all I see is internal storage no sd card folder?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RizSher:
Hi,

Got my N7100 and as soon as I got it, flashed it to Wanamlite 2.0. For some reason, I'm not getting the best battery life, so, just to compare, I want to flash to absolute stock and run it for a couple of day.

However, can't actually find any rom specific for US operators. Sam mobile has versions for the entire planet, but the US doesn't appear there (I suppose cos the US has carrier specific models). I downloaded Kies in the hope of downloading the firmware from there; but got a msg saying my device is modifiedand wouldn't download.

So, the question is, from the SamMobile website, which specific CSC version would be better for AT&T USA, or, it doesn't really matter, and I should just download the one most recently released?.

Thanks.

Riz

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RizSher:
Must say I'm not digging the presumption of ignorance on my part :)

I think I asked the question as clearly as I could for a non-native English speaker. I had done the pre-requisite searches before. Posted the question in the N7100 forum (though initially in the wrong sub-forum initially, corrected by the mods - thanks).

No amount of cross-traffic between different forums would mean an AT&T or T-Mobile rom would work on an international N7100.

The question is: "So, the question is, from the SamMobile website, which specific CSC version would be better for AT&T USA, or, it doesn't really matter, and I should just download the one most recently released?."

Again, I'm not throwing a rant, or trying to show attitude - apologies if it comes across that way.

I found the Note 2 for $224.99 on amazon.com but it's Sprint but would BestBuy price mach that with the AT&T version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ekoee:
Doubt it. When they say advertised price, they expect you to bring in an ad (such as a newspaper). Good luck if you try anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] clim1983:
I do know they price match amazon just not sure if its the device itself or if it is specified by carrier. My friend just went into Best Buy and got the LG Optimus G for $99.99 because of the amazon price match.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zaatour36:
I got my Note II for $199 @ Best Buy by brice matching Amazon Wireless AT&T version. Even though it was out of stock!

Depends on the rep, some will do, some will BS "We Don't price match online stores, blah blah blah"

Try different locations, that's what I did to get mine, didn't even bring a print out, they actually checked it for me!

Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] UserNamer:
Bought my Note II at Best Buy for $240 when they were running the sale. Went back about 15 or 16 days later and they price-matched the Amazon price for AT&T at $199, refunding the difference.

I've always been wary of purchasing phones from non-carrier stores, but I've had an excellent experience with Best Buy so far; much better than I've had dealing directly with various carriers over the years.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] boleat:
Best Buy price matched the Amazon Wireless amount of 174. 99 for me without even looking at what carrier the phone was specified as using or if it was in stock. It is definitely worth a shot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] clim1983:
Does anybody have the link for the Note 2 for under $200.00? I did look but the lowest was for $249.99.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] srtpusher:
I got mine at bby with a price match to amazon at $225. The online price match policy says that it must be readily available. Does not specify "in stock". Amazon ship time was 1 week. Just be firm and calm. Fighting and yelling won't get you anywhere.

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

The first told me that amazon wireless was not amazon, and I replied "you are best buy mobile, but are still best buy, right? " the rep laughed and said "good one"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] clim1983:
Good stuff! I'm going to go to BestBuy today to see if they will price match at least that $225.00 if not I may lean towards the LG Optimus G...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] srtpusher:
wow... amazon doesnt even have the white gn2 listed anymore. glad i did it when i did
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ekoee:
Everyone has a success story; making me wish i did that. Doesn't hurt to try. Last time i tried that they have me the run around, so i assumed. Definitely worth a shot though. Good luck.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urhos:
Hi all. I recently purchased my TF300T and I'm leaving it stock for a while. I have rooted my Verizon Droid Incredible 2 and my girlfriend's nook color. When i plug the phone or the nook color into my laptop via usb, the internal storage and sd card in each device pops up as if it is mounted and I can explore the files. I cannot figure out how to do the same with the TF300T. Do I have to be rooted to do this? I want to simply explore the sd card on the tf300t with finder on my mac. The android file transfer program for mac keeps showing errors. Thanks ahead for any help.

Hi All,

So I have a spare I9305 that is soft bricked.

As far as I can tell, the PIT is corrupted, because in recovery mode i get 'unable to mount /data'

I have scanned /dev/block/mmcblk0 for bad blocks and there are none. The phone will 'boot' but freezes at the samsung boot animation.

I have a working i9305 and I tried extracting all of the partitions from that (and the PIT) and flashing them on, as well as flashing a stock rom but nothing seems to work.

when i try and flash the PIT from my working i9305 to this one, heimdall crashes (and odin refuses to do it too)

I don't really want to send it for repairs (as I have a working i9305)... so does anyone have any ideas to help me un-brick it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mick.wheelz:
tried heimdall on linux. it crashed too... this is what I get...

this is using heimdall 1.3.1
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mick.wheelz:
nevermind. I was able to fix it.

The PIT was not corrupt, the userdata partition was, i was able to hack a version of darkside superwipe for the SII LTE to recreate the partitions and then re-flash the rom.

After that i restored a nandroid backup from another S3 and it worked.

We all know that Verizon has made some pretty asinine decisons over the years, especially in regards to eliminating certain funtionality and features on their phones.... but for the life of me I cannot figure out why they would choose to essentially "cover up" the wireless charging capabilities of this great phone!

Do they actually NOT want to make a boatload of ca$h on special NFC/wireless charging battery covers and charging mats???!!!

There is no rationale behind this that I can think of whatsoever!

In case anyone wants to know the reason for my frustration... the Verizon version of the Note II has an inner cover that covers the wireless charging contacts (the inner cover is what is exposed when the battery cover is removed). The AT&T version has fully functional wireless charging capability out of the box...minus the battery cover & charging mat.

This problem can be remedied with a little tinkerinh which involves removing this inner cover, but the sad thing is that none of this extra work should even be necessary. Plus... wouldn't it have actually been more cost effective for Samsung & the carriers to use the same components wherever possible? This was an unnecessary variance from what should hve been the standard.

Just pretty crappy that this flagship device is missing this wireless charging feature that continues to grow in popularity industry wide.

...Maybe Verizon is counting on the micro-USB port life expectancy being just about when the warranty is expired so they can make their money on people needing new phones before they're due for an upgrade!

Sorry guys... had to vent. I definitely have a Love-Hate relationship with VZW!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gltovar:
wow no kidding
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] snapz54:
I was actually in the store to hear first hand why. A customer coming from an iphone (he announced) was interested in the Note 2. His friend had the ATT version and he was excited to have a phone that could do wireless charging.

customer: I want to get the note 2, does it come with the wireless charging accessories or do I have to buy them separate?

verizon salesguy: The Note 2 doesn't have wireless charging built in, but the New Droid DNA does, let me show you.

customer: okay!

word for word. So frustrating to see their evil BS work. They make money licensing the "DROID" name so they make more money from droid phones. Horse droppings.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] D3_:
To be fair doesn't it take about a decade to charge the note 2 wirelessly?

I don't like using 1a chargers on mine because they take so much longer than the stock one and as far as I know wireless charging supplies even less than that.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Kevro_86:
I never thought about the Droid DNA being a possible reason for them to intentionally disable this feature, but knowing how VZW likes to promote the Droid line as the preferred choice, that does make sense.

I agree that wireless charging a 3100mAh battery will take a lot longer. I would think most people would use it as a bedside charger while they're sleeping, or at work, if they have an office job.

It would be very convenient to not have to fumble with a micro USB connector, especially when lighting is poor, or when you're picking your phone up every several minutes while at work.

I use wireless charging with my AT&T N2 and it charges from 40% in a couple hours.. I only charge at night when im sleeping though so as long as it charges within 6 hours I could care less.. and I wake up at the 4 hour mark and its at 100% so its fast enough for me... and slower charging is actually better for the battery. I understand if you needed a quick pick me up why it wouldnt be good.. but im a HEAVY user and with the N2 and its massive battery, ive never needed to charge it during the day... so for my needs, its perfect.

At the verizon I went to my rep tried the same thing on me. I went in specifically for the n2. He asked me if I had seen the dna, I said I heard of it and saw a couple of reviews on it. He asked if I wouod be interested in that instead. I said does it have a 3100mah battery, a stylus, removable battery or a micro sd slot... he said no. I said might as well get an iphone5 if thats the case. I came in for the n2 and only the n2.... couldnt be happier...... fyi. I finally convinced my wife to ditch her icrap5 and take over my s3
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] barry99705:
Well that explains the extra time until they released it. I wonder if the contacts are still there under the plastic?

Also, why don't they put wireless chargers in dash mounts?? Seems like a no brainier there.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Kevro_86:
There are a couple youtube videos showing what needs to be done to re-enable the wireless charging. The contacts are definitely there under the freaking plastic cover. They do not appear to be "raised" contacts like on the AT&T version or the Galaxy S3, but they are indeed there.

Does anyone know what that round connector is on the AT&T version between the NFC contacts and wireless charging contacts?

What else did Verizon screw us out of??!!??

If I'm not mistaking the one on the left is the International version and I believe the round connector might be for the radio.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Marine6680:
External antenna connection... used for testing purposes.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Shamrock13:
You can actually do 2 things.

1) Buy the housing from the ATT/International version and replace the VZW one with extreme ease, and then you can solder on contacts and make yourself a Qi compatible back cover.

2) Just get some copper tape (I think is what he used) and then get the Palm Touchstone or whatever and the Palm door and do the same minus replacing the housing.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cherokee2217:
Just an idea, but do you think it's possible to drill a couple of precise holes through the thin plastic inner cover to gain access to the contacts directly underneath? And then drop in some spring pins?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bluem6:
Yes if you do it really careful and do not damage the circuit beneath. ..there is a video on YouTube showing that it does work. .

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] oxidant11:
ok first of all vzw reps do not sell the dna over the note2 because they get paid more and vzw hasnt asked them to offer the note2 over the dna, what most likely happened is a biased opinion of a rep, a lot of reps in my store for some reason like the dna more, there are reasons its better but but there also reasons its not, and on the issue of the charging who knows why vzw didnt include it, but the s3 wireless charging took a while to come out too, just be interesting how they do it though since pins are covered.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nuke072786:
Not having access to the wireless charging prongs really REALLY angered me when I took the back cover off my brand new Note 2. After seeing the international version, I was all excited to implement magnetic charging. I was shocked and angered when I didn't see the prongs!!

Like everything else with this phone I am waiting at least 2 months until I try something. I waited a long time to pick this phone up. I can wait a bit longer to get great features on the cheap.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jester450:
Better than the TMO version where you have the pins but does absolutely nothing.

I would love to have wireless charging, but you guys do realize that the wireless charging will take a long time to charge this phone, it is a fancy thing yea but the battery on this things charges so fast with the oem charger which is 2 amps, I have a one amp charger next to my bed and the phone takes hours and hours to fully charge, wireless charging is just not robust enough to charge this phone in sufficient amount of time, I mean you could leave it on there and it would probably charge 10% in an hour and half. It just wont charge that fast and that is a fact. I have a nokia wireless charger at home, and I had DNA for a little over a week but honestly wireless charging was so much slower than straight plug in, I can only imagine how slow it would be with note 2 and it's large battery.

The oem charger flat out charges my phone in like an hour or a little more may be. I had 20% battery left yesterday and it got to 100% in less than an hour. I would do that over wireless charging anyday.

It is fancy yea, but how productive is it really? if your phone takes all day to charge with the damn thing. I was disappointed at first but after seeing how slow the phone charges with 1amp charger, I realized that the wireless charging would have been a flashy feature to have but it would have been useless if you want your phone charged fast.

Just plug the damn thing in to 2 amp charger and **** will juice up like no tomorrow, lol.

My job Involves doing a lot of getting up from my desk and doing something, (10-20 times a day) and Plugging and unplugging the microUSB cable that often is sure to cause some damage. I just want to protect the device, and wireless charging would help that.
