[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
First, I want it all, duh. Talk, Text and data - all unlimited and not the new definition of unlimited. :rolleyes:

So which carrier will give it all and for the lowest price? Not sacrificing service too much.

What would help is your actual bill after taxes, fees, etc.

Secondly, which version of the Note II (Verizon, Sprint, etc) is most adaptable to changing carriers? Obviously the GSM ones are the easiest to switch, but there are threads of hacks to change a CDMA phone to GSM. Most are works in Progress. Which version would be the easiest to convert?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shiftr182:
Well, your kinda asking two different things. As for adaptability, i7100/7105 probably. As far as best plans, Sprint I think, why else would anyone stay with them?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xKrisx:
If you can afford to buy this phone for full price Sprint is launching there no contract plans on the 25th. 70 $ for unlimited everything with no contract, LTE included. T-Mobile is also has something similar for unlimited everything but no LTE and in am not sure of price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobloiy:
Tmobile also has unlimited data(which has great coverage btw and it's close to 4glte speeds) but it throttles you down to 2g if you pass your

High speed internet limit(unless you get their true unlimited data, which is pretty expensive).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
There are only dedicated phones that will work with Sprint Go no contract deal launching later this month. You can not just grab any Sprint phone and throw in on a Sprint Go plan.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
Thanks for your help. I narrowed my choices down. Extra credit goes to GSM for ease of change. The "+?" is for taxes and fees. If you know what extra there is, please tell me.

Straight Talk - $45 +?

CDMA Verizon/Sprint's network

GSM T-Mobile/AT&T network

MetroPCS - $60 +? CDMA

Virgin Mobile - $55 +? Sprint MVNO - CDMA

Simple Mobile - $50 +? T-Mobile MVNO - GSM

*Ting - Sprint MVNO CDMA Oddball, but I may break even with their generally low prices. I am not sure of my data usage.

Also, since I am buying the Note II outright, which version for your prefered provider from the list above?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mideastbeast:
Go over 300mb of data in a day or 5GB in a month and risk losing your phone number forever with StraightTalk . They are supposed to warn you before they cut you. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't! If potentially losing your phone number permanently is not a big deal for you go with Straight talk.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hambino3:
I have 3 phones 2 with data i pay about 180$ 1500 minutes unlimited data and texting. Sprint service will be better then verizon by the end of this year at the earliest first quarter of 2014. LTE will be beyond better then verizon. just give it time :) i have sprint and i love it. :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
look, it depends a lot on how you use your phone. Sprint is my only option since I use over 30GB a data a month on it. If you're into switching carriers all the time, maybe GSM is a better option for you. GSM is used just about everywhere. As you know, Sprint and Verizon are the only CDMA in the US (or at least major carriers); they may be some others that may be using Sprint or Verizon's network such as Credo.

As for the phone, they're all the same. On only minor differences between the international and US versions.

No carrier is going to be perfect. Find that one that fits your needs, wants and both in the future (to your best guess) and go with it. One thing is true about Sprint, it's unlimited and they don't throttle. I would replace my home internet with it, but unless you're using data like that, they'll not going to hassle if you pay your bill.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
O.K. guys, I made a decision and have a question.

I am going with Ting. I will just have to watch my data usage and if it gets bad enough, I can go back to Sprint.

Now, do Sprint ROMs work with Ting phones? Anything I should be made aware of?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] androidjunkie71:
It appears that you're talking about taking your Sprint Note II and intend to use it on a different carrier? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if that's indeed what you're doing, prepare for an entirely different undertaking & decision making process.

There are many here (including myself) that do this, and one thing holds true...if you're using a CDMA phone, the best you're going to get is 3G...that being said, I see hundreds of posts throughout these forums where most people that do it are only getting 1x data speeds. I've been very successful in getting 3g no matter what handset/carrier I flash to, but if you do some reading you'll see it's not something beginners, or even moderately skilled people do consistently so bear that in mind.

If that's your intention, then you have a much longer road ahead of you than just picking a carrier...I can definitely help with *most* of your questions on that topic, but depending on a few details, there are things that are just not discussed or condoned here in these forums.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
androidjunkie71 - I really appreciate your offer of help and I'll make you regret it. :D

I bought the Note II from Ting, so it will already be set up. Also Ting/Sprint you can (supposedly) transfer easily back and forth between the two carriers. Other carriers may be too big of a problem for me. Also Ting supplies 4g via Sprint.
[General Topics] Marc Vaughan:
Apologies if this isn't the correct place to ask (if this is the case please by all means move this thread) - but I've discovered some chinese tablets don't support the 32 bit rendering which FMH2013 is using to display its screens.

I've written a 16 bit renderer which will allow people with these devices to play the game HOWEVER the devices don't appear to know they can't render 32 bit so I'm having to detect the devices individually via. their device specs.

At the moment I'm mainly using the android.os.Build.DEVICE field - if anyone has issues with a device running FMH where it fails to display the games start page once the splash page then please let me know with the name of your device and if at all possible the android.os.Build information for that device, that way I can ensure its detected properly in the forthcoming update (and the game works upon it).

For example:

android.os.Build.DEVICE

"nuclear-f721" = Versus TouchPad7

"crane-a721" = CNM Touchpad7

Thanks,

[Asus Transformer TF700] kotidoti:
Hi

I just bought the mobile dock to my TF700 from bestbuy for 99dollar and it seems like I got the TF201 one and a metal bottom but whatever. It seems to work out anyway, the color is not matching but function wise there doesn't seem to be any problem.

Anyway, I've noticed that there is a button which doesn't do anything when I use it and I wonder what its function is. It looks like a document, 4 lines going horizontal, the first one being a little longer than the others and is between ALT and CTRL on the right side of the dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Menu button?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kotidoti:
No. Nothing happens when pushed? You'd think that i'd get to the menu if it was, now wouldn't I?;)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjhollin:
Pardon my ignorance, but how do you install drivers manually if the PC does not recognize the N4; i.e., no android or unknown device shows up in device manager? I don't see any install file in the zip file. I've tried pdanet and google nexus 4 drivers, but can't get any 4 of my PCs to recognize my 10-day old N4. Ready to request an RMA. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehumble1:
make sure your USB cable is a charge/data cable and not just a charge cable. If nothing at all happens when you plug in the N4, you probably have a bad cable or the wrong cable.

If you are using the supplied N4 cable, then you may have a failed driver already set up for the N4.

Try another USB port

Try another computer because if it's just a problem with your setup Google is going to be pissed when they get your RMA'd one back and you're going to be pissed when you get the same problem with the new N4.

Open Device Manager and see what changes when you plug in the N4.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjhollin:
Thanks for your suggestions. I didn't explain in my post all the things I had tried because I was mainly interested in knowing if there was a way to manually install the native drivers without the hardware being detected.

I have tried 3 cables, all of which work for data transfer on 2 gingerbread phones. I've tried 2 Win7 and 2 XP (with WMP10) PCs. All the USB ports. Device Manager shows no changes on any of the PCs when the N4 is connected. I had talked to Google Support when I first got it and they implied it was a hardware problem with my PC. That's when I tried other PCs and tried installing pdanet and Nexus 4 drivers. The pdanet drivers wouldn't install because no device was detected. I'm going to go to a T-Mobile store and see if they will test it. I got it from Google, but have been a T-Mo customer for several years, so maybe they'll check it out.

If you still have not gotten your answer yet. You got to install the drivers for your device. You could go the long route of installing the android sdk, or google around how to install just the drivers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
this is the worst part about mtp, being on a mac works alright but I have to copy my cwm backup to my sdcard or compress it and the connection may cut out during operation.

windows states that mp3 format may not work and my cwm backups aren't fully copied so I have to compress all files and extract on my phone, but otherwise it works

wifi transfer will work but my Nexus will cut the speed when display is off so I have to keep the screenon.

I installed android sdk for the drivers,

the 5" screen is huge, and can sometimes make using it with one hand a little hard. The on screen keys disappear when they need to, like looking at pictures or watching videos, other than that, its just like using a 4.7" screen or something around that. When using the phone with one hand it can be a little difficult to stretch your thumb all the way down to the hardware buttons without having to readjust how your are hold the phone in your hand, they are badly placed on the bottom like that.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] AOKPBrownNoser:
Hello all. Got a question and I will try to deliver as much detail as possible to get a good answer, hope someone out there can help.

Before Rooting/Unlocking I could play games such as NFS/MC3/Dead Trigger for hours at a time without a peep of warmth from the back of my LGOG.

After Rooting/Unlocking I still never experienced Much.

After Flashing I noticed my device became rather warm after 5-10 minutes of simple gameplay on games such as Game Dev Story, Draw Something, etc.

My Flash history consists of (In chronological order):

TWRP

ZV8-Stock(Fresh Install)

Kernal SK8 (Ended in soft brick)

-LGNPST-

Root/Unlock

TWRP

ZV8-Stock (Fresh Install) (Started overheating here)

Mod Nocturnal (Dirty Install)

Mod Nocturnal (Fresh install) (Initial Install Missing Wallpapers)

ZV9-Stock (Fresh install) (Deodex)

Lifeless V2 (Fresh Install)

Lifeless V3-V6 (Dirty Install)

Lifeless V7 (Fresh Install) (Aroma Options- Only installed Seeder, Nova Launcher, Black statusbar mod)

(Downloading V9 For a Fresh Install As of current)

Ran tests

Quad Core: -CFQ-Ondemand-@384MHZ-1512MHZ- -CFQ-Ondemand-@384MHZ-1350MHZ-

Eco Mode: - -CFQ-Ondemand-@384MHZ-1512MHZ- -CFQ-Ondemand-@384MHZ-1350MHZ-

No Kernal Tweaks other then what may come with the above installed ROM's

So XDA community, I'm asking from any experience, Have you all gone through this or just myself? Have I messed up somewhere? What are the possible fixes?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AdriVelazquez:
Turn off the seeder app, and make sure eco mode is on.

That should drastically improve the overheating.

I don't really know what else could be doing it as I have ran tests as of lately so far as lowering brightness to 20% eco mode seeder off and CPU speeds under 385-1150 and still overheating in under 15 minutes of gameplay. I don't want to say I have a defective device considering it only started happening after I lgnpst:banghead:
