[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jinra321:
When I check my IMEI on solavei, it says "sorry! your phone isn't compatible with Solavei Mobile Service" I just unlocked it, does it take some time?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrchris1234:
Their IMEI checker doesn't check whether a phone is unlocked or not, it's just checking the number against a small database of known compatible phones. I have the TMO GN2 and it works fine with some caveats. Like everyone else with the TMO note2 I couldn't use the wifi hotspot without rooting and the APN settings for Solavei and the GN2 are slightly different than other Android phones and it took some experimentation on my part to get them correct so that MMS worked.

Beyond that if the phone has GSM and is unlocked it will work subject to potential speed issues for non TMO phones (except Blackberry).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jinra321:
Hmm, how am I suppose to get a SIM? Would I have to use a dummy phone to register with solavei?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrchris1234:
I just grabbed the IMEI for a phone I knew would work and had the right sized SIM. The IMEI used to confirm the phone is not at all tied to the account and is only used to size the SIM and match to their database. Once you receive your SIM you can just activate and go.

For that matter I have bulk packs of Solavei SIM's and could just send you one and register you if you don't already have a sponsor, or find someone local who has SIM's in stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
I did the same thing, my sponsor let me use his IMEI just to get the sim, and then once we liked the service, my wife used his sim for her own note 2.

As for question number 3, they do have a plan that doesn't have any cap, but I believe it's $89 per month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mitul2288:
Awesome, I am glad you like it. I was hoping to use my phone to download .nzb movies while on the go and use it as my main internet line via tethering. That is where I came up with the 20-30 gb figure.

Would solavei throttle me or block my account if I use that much data?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jacky37:
Solavei gives you 4gb 4g speed than throttle you to 2g
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mitul2288:
dang. welp.. looks like I will be sticking with sprint
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
Doesn't sprint throttle as well? In this part of TN sprint coverage is plain garbage. Then again, I don't think I have ever lived in a good sprint coverage area.

T-Mobile seems to have the only truly unlimited plan that isn't throttled. I just don't think it's worth $89 a month. But I also pay only $34 per month for a 10 mb fiber line to the house. Ymmv.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Nope, sprint doesn't throttle at all, although it's hard to find a place with LTE or WiMAX which means, you'll be stuck on their 3G at best.

Is it possable to flash the n7100 [n7105] version of cm10?

Perhaps a modem flash on top of that before boot?

Is a kernel needed too?

Im on straight talk if that matters. Tmobile note ii ofcourse.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pvtjoker42:
we need a kernel at very least before it'll work fully. you can flash it, but won't have any phone/data etc. and it can also cause you to lose your imei etc.

So for now we wait until more work is done to get us a working CM10/AOSP port.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Some_dude36:
Ok , since all the roms now are touchwiz . Do you think well lose Spen Sbeam multi windows < even though we dont have it yet. > maybe hdmi out functionality when we get a aosp rom ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pvtjoker42:
at first there will be lots of the touchwiz/samsung features that would not work on an AOSP rom, just simply because they are proprietary to Samsung. S-pen is known to work on some AOSP roms, but apps like s-note etc more than likely would not work. Any one who uses the S-pen, probably isn't going to want an AOSP rom.

Bootloader is not overwritten when you flash a new ROM

You can check it using an app on Google Play

"Device Info"

Bootloader Version: XXBLH1

Android Version: XXELKC

Does bootloader affect overall android performance speed?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
If the ROM contains bootloader files, it will update them accordingly. There are 2 bootloaders (primary and secondary). Bootloaders don't affect the performance of a phone. They only intialize the hardware then initalize the software. The kernel is mostly what affects performance. A ROM cam affect performance but the kernel is what affects it the most.

Which Rom is better to you guys? I want exactly what everybody else wants from a Rom. I am willing to try any Rom with any kernel combination. But I prefer a jelly bean experience.

But this is my order from most important to least important.

1. Battery

2. Jelly Bean feel and look

3. Stability(No crashes or small amount of crashes)

4. Performance (UV/OC)

5. Appearance/Looks

I was thinking either AOKP, CM10 or Liquidsmooth but I'm open to anything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] style154:
Liquidsmooth or slim bean are gonna be best on battery in my experience I like jelly bean but keep going back to ICS... but those with either kko or hotcakezz kernel should be your best bet. Some report good battery on aokp but never was very good in that aspect for me

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flaheat88:

Hello,

How are you all doing?

I have a question about this thread [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316769 ].

I cannot seem to download the EC09 stock Odex.

It downloads but is not complete. I've tried in multiple browsers, and my ubuntu VM. I let it finish in Ubuntu, and did an md5 and it is definitely not right.

Can anyone point me to a good download location of an EC09 Stock Odex? It would be greatly appreciated.

I bought a Continuum because it is sweet, but I'm running firmware 2.1-update1.

I would like to put EC09 stock and then the debloated EC09 over top of it. Everything else I was able to download properly.

Thanks in advance.
[Continuum General] XjokiX7:
Those are the only downloads at the moment. The links don't have a problem. It may be due to your internet speed that the downloads failed. *just downloaded EC09 stock without a problem..*

I went ahead and reflashed my phone anyway with the file that was supposedly not proper, according to 7zip.

Everything worked.

I also used clockwork to put the Deoxed EC09 on my phone.

What should I expect to see with the EC09 Deoxed? I have super user app on it now, however I still see all the verizon apps.

Thanks for the quick reply on the subject matter in the first place.
[Continuum General] XjokiX7:
It was rude of me to reply late but I was at work.. But I guess you got everything. And Deodexed is mostly made for themeing and mods. You can use a root file manager app and remove the Verizon apps. *Be careful on what you remove* I use root explorer. My personal favorite.. Not a free app by the way. But all you have to do is go to system/apps and delete the installed apps you don't want.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] nelagster:
So I have the T-Mobile GS3 with the iBolt dock running CM10. I set it all up and was very happy that the CM team got the audio working through USB so music, navigation and hands-free calling works! Thanks guys!

Question though, when I make calls with the phone docked and connected to car speakers, the other end of the phone complains about hearing an echo, even with the volume turned almost all the way down. Is there a way to fix this or are we SOL?

I used to connect my G2 to the 3.5mm aux jack and nobody ever complained about an echo. Before that my Nexus 1 had TOO MUCH noise cancelling and they couldn't hear me at all. So if the G2 could do it just connecting to 3.5mm, can we get it to work with GS3 connected via USB audio?

Before I had the iBolt I connected my SGS3 via 3.5mm and don't believe anybody complained about an echo but I didn't spend much time with it. Maybe it's a USB thing???:(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MikaelPe:
It's the phone software that causing this. The Samsung phones are not designed to be used as a hands-free phone inside a dock, this contrary to the Motorola phones that are equipped with echo cancelling software and even DSP as the phone turns itself into essentially a great hands-free unit. With the Samsung phone there is no way to make this work good, you need a Bluetooth hands-free connected to the phone unless you are holding the phone to the ear, sorry... We at iBOLT get this question all the time as many are migrating from a nice Moto dock to the S 3 and they expect (reasonably so) a similar end user experience.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nelagster:
darn

ah darn it. I did some more testing with the phone connected via USB out and then via 3.5mm out and then with nothing connected and just the speakerphone. Only the speakerphone didn't give the other end as much of an echo but at the same time they couldn't hear me as well. I guess when the phone rings I'll just have to pick it up :/

Thanks for your response!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Zekk98:
I noticed while searching through the forums that there was no ClockwordMod Recovery for 32B Sapphire devices, except for one that has been shut down and files for it have been removed, so I decided to take it upon myself to port a recent one that was made for 32A Sapphire devices. I have tested this recovery and I have not had any issues with it, but I ask that if you flash it and have any issues let me know.

This Recovery is ClockworkMod v4.0.1.4 and I decided to bring this to the 32B so that people can have different choices other than just having to use RA-sapphire-v1.7.0 as the only real type of recovery option for the device. If this recovery helps you please give thanks to Carz2 who originally brought it to the 32A Sapphire devices and me of course.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nacjacks:
I've been looking at the Note II to replace my dying Incredible 2 but the "Global ready" on the Verizon site without any frequency list has me worried. I travel to the UK frequently for work and need a phone that works in both the US and UK.

Is this frequency list accurate for the Verizon Note II? GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850 (B5), UMTS1900 (B2) from http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3833&c=samsung_sch-i605_galaxy_note_ii_lte

It looks like I would be stuck on EDGE outside of North America and parts of South America where my Incredible 2 could run the UK HSPA+ frequencies. Not ideal but I could probably live with it since the alternative would be an HTC DNA (no more Sense please) or a Droid Razr Maxx HD (not sure about the Pentile display).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nacjacks:
Looks like I may have found my answer, assuming it's correct.

"In addition to the standard Verizon-specific LTE and EVDO radios, Verizon's Note contains quad-band (850/900/1900/2100) HSPA+ and quad-band (850/900/1800/1900) GSM / EDGE for global roaming capabilities." http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/07/dnp-samsung-galaxy-note-ii-verizon-review/

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrispyCritter:
Nope...

I'm going to have to agree with the initial poster on this thread and say that if your firmware is at 8.1.4, The Bin4ry root is NOT working. I've ran it several times even after a full factory erase / restore, and throughout the entire process all I keep seeing is "permission denied", etc., all indicating that it was unsuccessful. For example, in the terminal step where you type in the 2 commands.. BOTH said "file not found", telling me that the file was never allowed to enter the device in the first place.. in other words, blocked. YES, the process does indeed finish, but su access is certainly not there. I can side-load apks of course, etc... but any apps requiring root access do NOT work.

I have found a way to manually block OTA updates, so if someone can figure out a way to downgrade the firmware back a couple versions, I think we'll be in business.

Please don't take this post as any sort of insult to anyone's intelligence, but I'm just relaying my experiences with the Bin4ry root process. I hope we as a community can come up with a way around this so we can get some custom roms onto this beast soon. cheers.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdblaze:
The binary root still works as of 8.1.4. If you read the entire post for the root process, all the permission denied and file not founds are normal. The root takes advantage of the restore process. I rooted an hd 8.9 today running 8.1.4 with no problems. So unless you guys have the only two hd 8.9's that Amazon changed the software...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reborn627:
I can also confirm that it still works on 8.14.ive rooted about a dozen times now, don't ask you'll be bored. I've also downgraded to 8.13 without any trouble, or factory cable, and rooted afterward. That said, I did let it OTA after downgrading. Again, don't ask.
