[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blitzu:
Hi everyone I have a 2 week old SGN2 N7105T from Vodafone Australia.

As Voda in Australia doesn't have 4g yet it seems Voda/Samsung has disabled 4g LTE on the phone.

Which means I cannot use another sim from another carrier to reap the benefits of 4g.

In the settings I only have options for wcdm/gsm auto, wcdma only & gsm only.

Does anyone know if and how I can enable 4g?

I have thought about rooting and putting a different rom from a different country or one from another carrier in Oz (such as Optus 1800mhz) that has the 4g option.

Not sure if that will allow me to get 4g? (By using an Optus sim)

Thanks

Vodafone Australia doesn't have 4g network just yet. They are planning to upgrade by June/ july 2013. Thats why they disabled lte option on note 2 7105t for now. even if you are able to get lte option by flashing different rom you won't be able to get 4g network.

This is seriously against the consumer right as we pay premium price for 7105 only for lte reason. But we get the phone same as 7100 :mad:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ansariiqbal:
Your current provider has no bearings on the menu options, so the option will not change.

I think this is not correct. 4g connection is not disabled on the phone. Because the carrier does not support 4g at the moment, the LTE option in the menu will not be visible. That is the impression that I have got from a Vodafone NZ engineer.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mregmi121:

Have you tried other carer sim which has 4g network??

I flashed new firmware and its now visible.

Sorry for the late reply guys.

I installed a German Vodafone 4.1.2 rom from samfirmware which gave me the option to choose LTE, GSM, WCDMA then I put my mates Telstra 4g sim and 4g worked great. When. I was in 4g areas the 4g symbol showed on top and speeds were awesome. Now all we need is Vodafone to hurry up.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanemal:
Sorry man you're flat wrong.

I flashed a rom I found on here for the N7100 that was confirmed compatible with my N7105-t From Voda and put in my telstra sim and 4G'ed my brains out.

It was getting crazy numbers for up and down speed in speed test so I know it was legit. That and the 4G logo up the top....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mregmi121:
You used telstra sim and got 4g, because telstea have 4g networks. Nothing wrong with that. So how I am wrong here? I said getting 4g compatible rom doesn't mean you get 4g from VODAFONE because they don't have 4g. tell me if I am still wrong. Thankx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yashleo21:
Hey guys! Recently I have encountered a problem with my phone.Whenever I call someone,they complain that my voice is very feeble and sounds like I have covered the mic or my mouth with some cloth.Now,when I switch to hands-free mode then mic works properly.

My question is that can this be a software problem or is it a hardware problem?

If it is hardware related then how much will it cost me to get the mic replaced as I'm using it for two years and this is by far the best phone I have ever used.

I am currently running Omega Rom and I will install a new version today to check if it was a software issue but till then can anyone tell me about the probability of it being hardware issue?

UPDATE:

Fixed my phone :D A layer of link was formed on the mic and I had to clear it out using a needle properly.I don't know where the ink came in from :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] montsa007:
Hello,

I purchased 2 Xperia Ion's from Ebay USA for reselling, now its hard time to find an unlock code.

I ordered from cellunlock.net but after 6 working days they want me to confirm the imei number coz the one which I supplied is incorrect (its 100% correct actually)

Can anyone help me out?

Tried ordering from remoteseller.com but as the seller is indian I cannot make a PayPal payment :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] montsa007:
Just an update, filed a claim on cellunlock.net and they refunded me promptly.

Funny because 8 days after the order they say the IMEI i entered was wrong (which is absurd), the IMEI was 100% correct.

I filed a claim at 6am in the morning (Indian Time) and by 7 I got a refund, which is more funny because my guess was they work in US time zones and close at 6pm.

Scammy minds at work!

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daLareid:
They've unveiled it today

http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/06/nvidia-tegra-4-official/

and apparently it's much powerful and faster than the eqynox on the nexus 10, but I don't know that much about this kind of tech, I'm probably finally going to buy the Nexus 10 this week if Samsung doesn't unveil a more powerful tablet, so I was wondering if this Tegra 4 processor is worth waiting for until it's implemented on a tablet.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
Their browser test is having the Nexus 10 run Chrome while the Tegra runs AOSP. In my eyes that makes it a 100% unfair comparison.

Between bad experiences with Tegra 2 and 3 (Atrix/TF700) and their requirement that Tegra optimized games not run on other SoC vendors without any real reason other than because they can, I cant even consider a mobile Nvidia device. All they're good for is keeping the more reputable chip makers on their toes.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aosot:
yes it's nice
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niggo372:
Would be interesting to see this with both devices running the AOSP browser! From my experience it is much faster than the current chrome version (which still is version 18 on android, compared to 23 on desktop). Maybe the Tegra4 would be faster aswell, but not that much.

Everything on my N10 is extremely fast and fluid, so I wouldn't wait for whenever the first Tegra4 devices will be available. Plus its Nexus so you know what you are buying!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eatonitis:
Agreed, they're making an Apples and Pears comparison that was undoubtedly set to show the new processor in a good light. It's only to be expected, it is a sales pitch after all. It will no doubt be a faster chip though.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
I would much rather see a couple benchmark runs myself. A time comparison of a web browser is no way to test the power of a new chipset.

Still, I would expect Tegra 4 to be WAY WAY WAY more powerful than the Exynos 5250. Both devices use the A15 architecture, and Tegra 4 has twice as many CPU cores as we have. This alone is already a big boost in multithreaded apps. Then look at the GPU where you cant even compare the two at all except by end result numbers. They are just far too different. We have 4 GPU cores, Tegra 4 has 72 GPU cores. But those cores are designed far differently and not nearly as powerful per core. It is all about the companies definition of what a GPU "core" is. And then you have a smaller process node as well, which by itself already promises to use less power than the larger process node the Exynos 5250 uses.

I would honestly expect the Tegra 4 chipset to completely destroy our tablet in terms of performance, but a much more fair comparison would be to compare the Tegra 4 to the Exynos 5 quad. Those two are actually designed to compete with each other.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i9100g user:
If you want to compare exynos and tegra 4 then wait for exynos 5450 (quad a15) which should come with galaxy s4 no of cores makes a difference here t4 is quad but early gl benchmarks show that A6X and exynos 5250 have a better GPU

Lets hope and pray Vizio managed to add microSD capability to it. Free of Nexus restraints, it should be doable, but since it is running stock JB, the storage would have to be mounted as USB (?) .

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnip:
look at the new iphone only 2 cores (different architecure) beating the higher clock double cored galaxy s3 in some disciplines..

this presentation is scientifically SO SO irrelevant especially becasue they use different software.. I LOL SO HARD at ppl thinking this is anywhere near to be comparable
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
The new iPhone 5 doesnt use the same ARM architecture are the S3 though, it is a custom design. So those can be compared against each other fine to see which architecture is better. And if a slower clock speed CPU gets better scores then we know it is a superior design. This is the basis of all benchmarking. If we were only allowed to compare the exact same architectures together then we wouldnt learn anything.

Tegra4 uses a (probably slightly modified) A15 core, and the Exynos 5xxx uses a fairly stock A15 core. So a higher clocked A15 should beat out a lower clocked A15 in a direct comparison no matter what. Then when you throw 2 additional cores on top it should always win in multithreaded benchmarks too. Seems pretty common sense to me.

The main difference will be in the graphics side of things, where Nvidia has their own designed GPU compared to Samsung's use of the Mali GPU's.

You can still compare them together just fine, it just need to be both of them on the same browser if there is a browser comparison being done. In this PR release, Nvidia skewed the results like all companies do. So we cant really see the difference between the two from those pictures and we need to wait for 3rd party review sites to do proper testing to see actual results. Yet we can still estimate performance plenty fine since we have a baseline of the architecture already with this tablet.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quonith:
"Tegra 4 more powerful than Nexus 10"... well duh! It's a new chip just unveiled by nvidia that won't show up in any on sale devices for at least a couple of months. Tablet and smartphone tech is moving very quickly at the moment, nvidia will hold the android performance crown for a couple of months and then someone (probably samsung or qualcomm) will come along with something even more powerful. Such is the nature of the tablet/smartphone market. People that hold off on buying because there is something better on the horizon will be waiting forever because there will always be a better device just a few months down the line!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
That was kind of his point.

I don't think anyone is denying that the tegra will be faster. What's being disputed here is just how much faster it is. Personally, I don't think it'll be enough to notice in everyday use. Twice the cores does not automatically a faster CPU make, you need software that can properly take advantage and even then is not a huge plus in everyday tasks. Also, in the past Nvidia has made pretty crappy chips due to compromise. Good example being how the tegra 2 lacked neon support. The only concrete advantages I see are more cores and a higher clock rate.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bee55:
Based on the hype : performance ratio of both Tegra 2 & 3 I wouldn't have high hopes until I see legit benchmark results.

What does seem promising though, is the fact that they are making more significant changes than from T2 to T3, such as dual channel memory (finally after 1-2 years of all other SoCs having it -.-) and the GPU cores are different too.

Still, the GPU has always been the weakest point of Tegra, so I still don't think it can beat an overclocked T-604 by much, even though this time around they will not be the first ones to debut a next-gen SoC. Given the A15 architecture they can't really screw up the CPU even if they wanted to, so that should be significantly faster than the Exynos 5 Dual.

I've also just read this article on Anandtech about power consumption and the SoC in the Nexus 10 consumes multiple times as much power as other tablet chipsets, making me wonder how nVidia plans to solve the battery life issue with 2 times as many cores and a (seemingly) beefier GPU, not even mentioning implementation in phones..

Apparently this is the tablet that comes to take Nexus 10 spot, Vizio 10 inch tablet with Tegra 4, 2560 x 1600 resolution, 32gb storage, Android 4.2. And it should be coming out Q1 2013, I think this one makes me wait to hear some more about it until I buy the Nexus 10, although to be honest the brand is a bit of a let down for me.

Edit: the 10-inch model, key specs (aside from Tegra 4) include a 2,560 x 1,600 display, 32GB of on-board memory, NFC and dual 5MP / 1.3MP cameras.

The largest problem with ASUS tablets was Tegra 3, due to it's low memory bandwidth.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The cores nvidia is referencing is the stream cores like in their desktop gpu. That's 72 MAD( multiply add divide units) The cores in the Mali GPU are 4 sperate clusters of MAD units. The actual difference in total number of MAD units isn't going to be that drastic (I can't say exactly how many are in Mali GPU) Tegra will probably have more but not the difference of 4vs72. So for those wondering that's what nvidia defines as a core, while everyone else groups MADs into clusters and count those as cores. It's just clever marketing by nvidia

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mike-y:
If it says "refurbished" than that's probably what it is. I've bought a few refurbished items and saved some money. Each one I purchased looked brand new, was wrapped, and had no visual cues that it was anything but new. But each item was clearly marked a refurb, so I knew what I was paying for. You might want to check Wal-Mart's fine print.

That said, I've had really good experiences buying refurbed stuff from Major retailers, like T-Mobile and Woot.com. I'd imagine wal-mart probably has similar quality refurbs since they are a large retailer, and the item you are buying is still in production.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dz1mm3rm4n:
Looking for some info on the USB Connection settings for the Galaxy S3. I am dealing with 2 S3's, both are stock JB 4.1.1 from Verizon. Using the same PC, same USB cable and same USB port, I connect 1 phone and it defaults to MTP. I connect the other and it says "connected as installer" and appears as a cd drive on the PC. After a few seconds it defaults to MTP but occasionally sticks in installer mode unless I change it manually or disconnect and reconnect it.

I am setting up a USB tether on both of them but the one that keeps connecting as an installer is also dropping the tether connection. So, I am looking for a way to disable the installer mode and I cannot find it in the phone settings. I came across this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1891358 and I will try to look into that when I have one of the phones in my possession again, but so far I am kind of at a loss. I see other people reporting the same kind of issue since their JB update, but these are both JB and only 1 has the problem which leads me to believe that either there is a setting somewhere to disable it or there have been many not-so-successful updates.
