Will you guys be getting the Galaxy Note 3 for your next upgrade? My next upgrade is in March 2014 and I'm guessing the GNote 3 will be coming out in October/November 2013. You guys going to stick with the GNote line?

Based on current rumors, that is. I love my Note and the S-Pen (though I lost mine, but rarely used it before) but I don't know if I prefer Exynos 5 over the Snapdragon 800 or Tegra 4. As interesting as the 8-core big.Little is, Tegra 4/Snap 800 seem to more next generation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
I think I'll be ready for a change by then.

The note 3 will be a good choice I think...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tjw345:
I can't wait for MWC 2013 so I can't imagine what MWC 2014 will bring.

I know we haven't seen any benchmarks but do you think Exynos 5 will be able to hold its own against NVidia and Qualcomm with Tegra 4 and the Snapdragon 800?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SilverStone641:
I most likely will. That's a massive footprint, but i adjusted to the Note after the HTC Evo 4G without any issue. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what all they do with it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CB620:
Nope I'm getting the note 2 :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
If Samsung switches to Tizen...."goodby Samsung!"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JGuinan007:
nope note 4

I wont be able upgrade til Feb 2014 by then the Note 3 will be too old I'll wait for the note 4 or Galaxy S 5 or perhaps something else. Leveno and Huawei are making a lot better devices and Sony is getting it's stuff back together. I used to love HTC til they removed batteries and expandable memory like Apple. Really like Nexus's update times too. Will just have to wait and see what's best at update time. Really like a 5.5 or bigger device with something like Spen must have removable battery and expandable memory and would like nexus O/S updates or a month or 2 later. Oh the answer to your question is no I will not get the Note 3.:highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tjw345:
Similar situation with my upgrade in March 2014. I think I might end up switching companies, depending on how it goes at CES 2014 and MWC 2014. If there ends up being some revolutionary new devices/chipsets revealed, I could easily end up waiting a couple months to get a new phone. I'd love to keep the S-Pen but the Exynos 5 hasn't been appealing to me, though I guess that's a little early and I should wait for phones with it.

And you're right there. New companies are coming out with great phones. The Lenovo K900 looks fantastic. Sony also had a great showing with the new Xperia's. I just want to thank the Note for making other companies jump on the 5" form factor band wagon.

I wonder how the rumored "Motorola X" phone is going to be.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slickfing:
I would miss my s pen if I don't continue on the note..trust me, new phones are coming up..maybe even better, but that pen makes all the difference...I can't stop using it..makes everything so easy...I'm definitely getting the note 3 and every other note that follows...no more small screens...no more "s-penless" phones..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] people211:
I also am locked down till Feb 2014- I'm hoping the note 3 or galaxy s4 will come out by summer or early fall so I can take advantage of cheaper prices.. or get a refurb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlackZenith:
I'm actually hoping for some decent Note competition from other manufacturers. But if not, prolly so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Kraize:
Depends on specs. I'm really looking forward to seeing if the lenovo k900 will be released stateside. All around, Lenovo has got my attention with it's Helix and the k900.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] md1008:
Seems like 2013 is all about the phablet. A lo t of lesser known brands coming out with 5+ screens I would expect other more well known OEMS to follow the same. Huaweii is releasing a 6.1 phone. Makes you wonder when enough is enough. I for see a 7 inch screen made with nothing but glass door with on screen nav bar. So As to cut corners while still making a real tablet of a phone. It will probably be Samsung as they can afford a flop If this bombs where as other OEMS might be cautious of such a gamble

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ripper4209:
Nah I want a narrower phone not wider.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlackZenith:
Narrower than the Note 2? Hex no, keep this to yourself... jk. But it's this kinda talk that makes me wish other manufacturers would make a Note rival.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xflowy:
hey guys!

just noticed that there is an option avaiable in windows for ejecting the n4 when the device is in mtp mode + usb debugging on. how do you handle this? what the difference when usb-debugging is on and is there a need to eject it first via windows? cause i didnt to that until now ;)

thanks and greetings!

hey guy before i was having wanamlite ROM, when i heard about jellybam i decided to flash it to my phone, so i backed up using titanium backup and samsung kies, now after flashing kies is not recognizing it at all, keeps on saying connecting, now how can i restore my SMS, and kther things too???

Kies works only on Samsung based ROMs.

You would've known this if you read and followed the first rule of XDA.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed bahaa:

of course it is. You would have known it if you read the first post of the ROM thread

actually i did notice that

but now anyhow how can i restore the files that i backed up??.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Use titanium......in future!

If your back up is on Kies then you will have to go back to your stock Rom I'm guessing, then Kies will recognize your phone.

Why anyone uses Kies is beyond me:confused:;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed bahaa:
titanium backup is only backing up apps, but wat I'm talking about is how to restore the msgs, calendar events, web bookmarks, and much more :confused:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] picante544:
Symptoms:

Phone boots to the 3 Android boot screen with Fastboot bootloader. It will not load regularly.

I cannot make a menu choice until I push the trackball. This is not how the menu screen worked before.

I was doing a hard reset because the digitizer was acting up. I have not used this phone much until recently. I purchased it on ebay last year (for the accessories) but have only used it the last three weeks.

Hard resets were becoming less effective resetting the digitizer, which would act up more quickly with each reset.

I may have changed the default bootloader. I was using "clear storage" under hboot, but the phone now starts in fastboot. I have now pushed all number of combinations of menu options.

The phone has never been rooted (as far as I know.)

I cannot mount the phone to the computer via usb. "USB device not recognized...." but "fastboot" does become "fastboot usb" The command adb.exe devices lists no devices.

I have installed sdk but no usb drivers were installed in any of the packages.

So my question is: what do I need to do to have the phone start normally?

Bonus question: I was going to replace the digitizer, but is the digitizer a problem or a symptom of a bigger problem (and thus a waste of time replacing)?

Great welcome to the forum video. My apologies if this question has been asked a dozen times before, but I didn't find an answer. And of course,

"Thanks."
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphinxcs898:
Well, now, thats quite a predicament :) The N1 digitizer has always been quirky and I've encountered many an occasion where I had to turn off the screen and turn it back on to continue typing.

I have a few questions on this :

a) Are you sure your phone wasnt rooted and a custom ROM wasn't flashed on?

b) Are you able to access recovery from the bootloader screen?

Since you are able to access fastboot, you can:

1) unlock your bootloader

2) Flash su (gain root if you dont have it)

3) Place a custom ROM (CM7 preferably) onto your SD card and flash it.

Hopefully, this should get your phone back on track.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] picante544:
A--I am not sure that the phone wasn't rooted, I bought it on ebay, but I own another N1 that I've used and the OS and functionality seemed identical. I believe that the seller said it was not rooted. I'm not sure how to root a phone, but perhaps I did something after getting into the menu.

B-- I am able to access recovery, I think. When I press the recovery option I get a vibration, the four colored star, a blank screen for a few seconds and finally a robot and a warning symbol. I'm not able to do any further.

1--I'll have to read up on unlocking the bootloader--I'm not sure, but don't believe I can unlock it at this point. I do have the option for either fastboot or hboot, but choosing either one and restarting leads to the same result.

2--I don't believe I can flash SU, again I'll need to read up on the procedure, but...

3--Windows responds when attach the phone via usb, but says it recognize the the device. I cannot access the SD card from explorer. I thought that maybe I need additional drivers, but don't find any that may be of use. Because Windows can't read the SD card, I don't think I can flash with a custom ROM.

However, there may be procedures I'm not aware of.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphinxcs898:
You don't need to have your phone connected to the USB of your computer to transfer data. Remove your SD card, place it in an SD Card adapter/reader and connect it to your laptop/PC. Copy your su.zip and custom rom zip file and place it in there.

Now, use standard instructions to do root your phone:

http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/16/how-to-root-the-htc-nexus-one/

a) Download the latest Clockwork Mod recovery to your PC

b) Now boot your phone in HBOOT mode ( the only option possible :) )

c) Since fast boot is working, unlock your bootloader using the instructions given in the link above

d) After this, reboot into HBOOT again, and this time, flash on the recovery.

e) Now reboot into recovery, and first flash su.zip ( to gain root access )

f) once that is done, flash your ROM. (wipe everything except SD card)

Hopefully, this should get the good ole N1 back.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] picante544:
Resolved--hardware problem--trackball

Coincidentally, another user had a very similar experience with his N1 at the same time. He determined it was his trackball. I tore my phone apart, disconnected the trackball and the phone now works again.

Thanks again to those two people who responded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DelTree©:
I found a really nice looking theme. I wanted it in red though so I emailed the dev to see if he would oblige my request no reply after a few weeks so I decompiled and changed what I wanted. What the views in general on doing this? Its not like I'm going to release it or claim that its mine to anyone. I personally don't see any harm since I'm not putting it up to DL but my mate seems to think what I done was bad in some way. Also the theme was free to DL anyway.

I wish sudo commands worked in real life...I'd never get banned from the pub again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
As long as you dont release it as your own, I dont see anything wrong with it. Maybe you can let the developer know and he can release it and give you credit.

if you post it for the public youll need to

1. ask permission (out of respect)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruntyoldbag:
Hi

It seems to me that every time someone has a problem with Proximity Sensor, Auto-rotation or GPS together with a custom ROM, they are advised to flash a stock RUU - and then re-flash Custom ROM again - which should fix the problem.

Could someone please explain why flashing a stock RUU should solve such a problem?

I mean..... such advice seems like Voodoo to me and from what I have read it doesnt work half the times.

Is this advice some kind of mass-hysteria where people want to believe it works?

And what is the theory behind the advice anyway?

EG. you have a custom ROM where the Proximity Sensor doesn't work.

Then you flash a stock RUU and 'bring the sensor to life' again - and afterwards you flash a custom ROM and the working Proximity Sensor settings from the stuck RUU is not deleted by the custom rom flash - but everything else is?

And why is it that BT problems seems to be actual bugs in the Custom ROM, but problems with Proximity Sensor, Auto-rotation and GPS is supposedly fixed by the 'flash a RUU'-voodoo?

I am looking forward to your answers :)

(....yes this is my first post, but I have been flashing and reading for more than 1 year)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Proximity Sensor issues are mostly fixed by installing this app and calibrating it correctly, unless the sensor itself is permanently broken.

GPS problems are ROM related, and they've always been fixed by the dev in time. In the meantime, you see a lot of 'flash RUU' posts, but it isn't related. If the ROM has perfectly working GPS, and if a certain user doesn't, then it is most probable that the GPS antenna (flashlight) cover is having a slightly loose contact with the antenna. I had bad GPS issues quite long back and tried all sorts of solutions, but it was the same with every ROM. I opened the antenna cover and pulled up the antenna prongs a bit, and it works perfectly since then.

About the rotation issue, I'm as baffled as you are. I flashed ViperDHD once to try it out, and I had the problem right after that. I didn't believe the whole 'flash RUU' solution at all, so I tried every possible thing I could think of to fix it. Nothing worked. I decided to try the RUU solution as a last resort and it surprisingly worked. I have no clue how. The best answer I can think of is that there's some low level firmware which only an RUU/stock ROM can change, but this raises a lot of questions and arguments in itself and doesn't make sense if you think about it. So yeah, about the rotation issue, I have absolutely no clue. I've been looking if anyone has an explanation for it but no one does yet. I'd also like to know why ROMs such as ViperDHD break the auto-rotation in the first place, that too only for AOSP JB ROMs. It's one of those things which 'just happen'. :confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yumm91:
I guess maybe we need to do a hardware hack for dhd, like in the sony psp.. but then that would be wrong.. :rolleyes:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SmOgER:
I guess this whole RUU thing is partly hardware related... Sensor gets messed up with the wrong/unofficial drivers, and only resets and starts to work correctly after OEM drivers detection, after that unofficial drivers are OK once again, until error... Just a theory... :)

Just letting everyone know that I was able to pick up a Nexus 4 at a t- mobile retail store. At first they told me they were in stock but couldn't be sold yet. About 10 minutes later this story changed and they said they could sell it to me. Pricing is different than buying directly from Google but it is available.

This was in Raleigh North Carolina.
[Nexus 4 General] jayvo:
My local T-Mobile also has a few Nexus 4's in stock. I'm with AT&T though so I don't know if it has any T-Mobile bloatware on it or not.

Was the pricing full retail for TMO or Google?
[Nexus 4 General] jayvo:
$549 for the 16 GB Nexus 4 at my local T-Mobile.
[Nexus 4 General] Generalhead:
Full retail unless you go with a "classic contract". But the classic contracts are inflated and cost more in the long run.

I have not found any bloatware.

I just picked mine up from T-Mobile. New promotion at work demanded the capabilities of a smartphone for email. Works paying for it so might as well get the phone I want and not wait

I was at CES and knew from the rep there it would be in stores by the 16th. Thanks BTW from the dude with the white helmet. Managed to hold off on getting a smartphone since they came out. Yay me for being poor till now.

[Nexus 4 General] Generalhead:
Retail price at t- mobile was $549. With just about any activation you qualify for a $50 mail-in rebate.

Alternately you could get one for $249 if you committed to a two year "classic" contact. But the classic contracts are inflated enough that you pay more than you save on the cost of the phone.

They only had the 16 GB version as far as I could tell.
[Nexus 4 General] bollywood69:
So I made a post about the T-Mobile price hike and I guess the mods wanted me to redirect to here...

But I wasn't really commenting about the price difference between Google Play and T-Mobile. T-Mobile initially released Nexus 4 at $499 off contract. I guess I can't quite pin down when the price jump was, but it is now retailing at $549... because of demand? It seems a bit ridiculous of T-Mobile. I can understand inflated prices on Amazon, but I'm wondering how it went unnoticed b/c there is not much information about the $50 increase on the web...
[Nexus 4 General] jellydroid13:
The T-mobile version is exactly the same as the play store version. Also why would you get it for 549 when you could get it for 349 from the play store? Is a 2-3 week wait really worth 200 dollars?

Also got mine @ TMo Store

Decided to stop by the TMo store right across from my office on a whim yesterday. They had a whole N4 display up and everything. Bought one for full retail $549 after being assured twice and reading the return policy that I can return within 30 days. Based on that LG French exec interview that's been circulating, it sounds like we might be seeing an improvement soon in the Play store, so I figure I'll use it for 29 days so I can test out TMo's coverage and speeds in actual use in my neighborhood then return it. So far, I'm extremely impressed by both the phone and network. 1000% improvement over my Evo LTE on Sprint that doesn't get LTE since Sprint is dragging a$$ on rolling out LTE here.

The sales rep seems a little incredulous that I wanted to buy it outright and asked me twice if I was sure. Unfortunately, they wouldn't sell it to me unactivated, so I had to sign up for 1 month of prepaid service. I already had a prepaid T-Mo SIM kit at home waiting, which I figure I'll keep until I get another N4 at the play store.
