Hey guys. I Have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-I317M) and for some reason it fluctuates between HSPA+ and 3G signals rather than LTE. The device is originally locked to Rogers but I unlocked it and am now using it with MTS. I am running on jelly bean 4. 1.2 and CleanRom 4.0.5. Anybody have any ideas as to why I'm not getting LTE?
[Networking] thlinx:
Are you still getting fast data speeds? All LTE is 3.9 g and hspa is like 3.6 g lol..

http://tasel.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/lte-hsdpa-dc-hsdpa-explain-this-alphbet-soup-of-4g-to-me/

Since you only mentioned your phone model and not the important notion what your carrier is, what is it?
[Networking] KR3W:
Yes I'm getting fast speeds but I can't help but wonder why this is happening. I mentioned that I'm with MTS so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for. I live in Canada so it's probably not familiar to you. They just started carrying S3's which are running on their LTE network and they show 4G at the top of them when activated rather than HSPA+.
[Networking] thlinx:
Nope not familiar with Mts. That's correct.. it all depends on the towers u are near .. if they haven't upgraded there towers sorry your sol lol
[Networking] MrObvious:
It is either the towers or your phone isn't compatible with the bands of LTE (there are multiple bands like there is with UTMS).
[Networking] KR3W:
I'm pretty sure it isn't the towers cause my friends iPhone 5 is running off LTE and he live about 5 minutes away from my house. I've also been at distances one minute away from his house and did not pick up LTE then either. I don't know much about bands or frequencies but my carrier just launched the Galaxy S3's and they run off LTE and I'm assuming the Note 2 has the same hardware. S3: 700 (Band 17), 1700/2100 (AWS) MHz , Note 2: 700(band 17) 850 AWS 1,900(band 2). I'm clueless as to what those numbers mean but i'm guessing the important thing is Band 17, right?
[Networking] MrObvious:
Try going near his house then. Or have you checked the network settings? You may have to flash something.
[Networking] KR3W:
I have to no avail. I had a friend try to help me out over the phone with network settings and his phone appears to have a setting that mine does not. When he goes into settings > wireless and network more settings > mobile network there is an option for him to toggle between LTE, HSPA+ etc. My phone doesn't have that for some reason. All that's listed is Mobile data, data roaming, Access point names, and network operators. Nothing to toggle between networks, which is probably what I need to enable LTE. I have no idea why that setting would be absent from my device. My friend was using an S3 on the same operating system as me btw.
[Networking] hashbrown95:
From what i can tell it's the frequencies . The frequencies your device have seem to be different than the frequencies the s3 have on your carrier. If it's not that then you can check your apn settings.

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

Well i didn't realize how old the thread was, but i hope yes fixed your problem. :D
[Networking] Cynagen:
What model is your phone, and what model is his phone. You said you brought your phone from a competing carrier who is likely using alternate frequencies that your phone might not be picking up either due to hardware or software limitations. Without knowing the hardware, and where it came from in the first place, we can't figure out what frequencies your phone is looking for and can't answer your question effectively.

download an app that will show you what is the type of connection you are actually on.

Is nexus 4 close to or better than the galaxy s3. if so what is the reason i know it has wirless charging but other than that what else can it do better?
[Nexus 4 General] b4silver:
Galaxy s3 also has wireless charging. Both are good phones. The nexus 4 has a better processor, father updates, etc. The gs3 on the other hand has 4glte, an arguably better camera, and if you're a contract guy you have to get it.

Can't go wrong with either.

Also there is already forums for this I'm pretty sure...

My Nexus 10 is better than your tablet. Hah.
[Nexus 4 General] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

I had the S III for about 6 months and I have the Nexus since 1 week (before I had a Samsung Galaxy Nexus).

In short Nexus... it's Google: updates, no bloat (no crappy overlay like Touchwiz) pure Android, it's a Qualcomm / Adreno hardware (but Samusng RAM LOL), like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (TI-> Texas Instrument), more source etc, take a look in the GS III forum about Exynos source's... you'll be disapointed.

It mainly depends of your needs, pure Android experience, with a lot of new ROM with diferent features, kernel, sources ("stock Android", AOSP, CM, a mix, etc...) go the Nexus Line...:good:

If you want multiwindow, pop-up play, smart-stay buit-in and a Samsung device with, in fact good hardware, go for Samsung. But you'll stay ... "sur ta faim" (sorry :p)...

If you want all the "after market" features, I mean devs , go the Nexus! I owned a Galaxy Nexus then a S III... Back to the Nexus :p;):silly::fingers-crossed::laugh::cowboy::laugh:

And yes there are thread here and in the S III forum about comparison... After that bigger screen for the S III (not that much) but in hight light like sun it's not terrible, diferent design, 4g / LTE (it depends of your country), extanted storage, etc... and wirless charging for both like b4silver said.

Hard choice... give the Nexus 4 a try not the S III for now...

I just traded my galaxy s3 for a Nexus 4. The camera on the s3 ALOT better. The nexus 4 camera isn't bad though. On custom Roms the s3 battery sucked. Nexus 4 wins in this department. I hatred touch wiz on the s3. This was the main reason I switched to the nexus 4. I can also see a big difference in the snappiness of android on 4 cores on the nexus compared to the two on the s3.
[Nexus 4 General] COfatboy:
The fact that the Nexus does not have a card slot or any easily replaceable battery is enough for me to say no. Also the only LG phone I've ever had was a huge POS. Although I do have a nice LG TV that has been pretty good to me. :eek:

I guess you've never had a Nexus 4, your input was quite valuable I'm sure.

[Nexus 4 General] lyall29:
I love my nexus 4. I had the s3 and I like the build quality of the s3 better. The nexus 4 looks good but the back cover is horrible. Its the noisiest cover of any phone I've ever used, well I had the lg optimus g and it was the same way. Its so load I actually woke my wife from her slumber while handling the phone. I've managed to take some of the creakiness out by ree removing the back cover and putting tape in the spots that are mushy. Other than the back cover being terrible, I like the nexus 4 better. Hopefully when my bumper comes I won't notice the creaking anymore.

Some of you will think I'm abusing my phone but I'm not. Before I put the tape on the inside edges, just grabbing the phone to pull it out of my pocket I could hear it creaking, it was driving me crazy.

Galaxy S3 pros:

Replacable battery

better camera

S2 cons:

Bloatware

cheap feel

expensive

slow(ish) update cycles (not as bad as some thou)

Nexus4 Pros:

Stock Android, more consistent.

VERY affordable, great price performance

Photosphere

prompt updates

Great build quality

Great looks

Smaller than S3 but decent size display still

Better display.

Nexus4 Cons:

Glass back makes it feel slippery

Fragile, so don't drop

No SD Card
[Nexus 4 General] Teo032:
You should never compare camera's picture quality based off the resolution specs... I mean we had 8mp cameras on many phones and even digital cameras before but they're all different... You can't just say they both have 1080p so it's equal. It's like saying a coby tv is as nice as my Samsung tv.

Anyways, I have both phones, simply, nexus is the faster smoother phone. Whereas the s3 is fast also but.. there is always that stutter here and there.

I too was kept away from the nexus because no sd slot but, after using the nexus for a week it's definitely the better phone. Btw a custom Rom on the nexus 4 is equivalent or better than the s3. Many early comparisons around the forums or on those review sites may differ... but that's probably based off stock. Custom rom on the nexus 4 blows any other phones away. Yes our camera loses to the s3, ip5, one x/+, I wouldn't even be surprised if we lose to the razr hd maxx. But it's still a good camera...think in between s2 and s3

[Nexus 4 General] 3dawg:
Just to put my two pence into this; in my experience, I've found that the Nexus 4 is more responsive to the touch/smoother. That being said, I can't deny the speed of the International GS3. Despite the Nexus having superior hardware, I consistently find that the S3 loads most things quicker. Especially when it comes to browsing, both running the same browser, S3 wins EVERY TIME, without fail - when I test, anyway. It doesnt make sense to me either, the Nexus 4 should theoretically far outmatch the S3 in speed, but it doesn't.

Is there any way to disable system vibration for notifications, but still have it vibrate when a call comes in?

Seems like those options are tied together in settings->sound->sound and vibration check box.

I don't think all phones do it that way. Not sure how AOSP does it.

Not interested in an alternate ROM, but if there's software that requires root (or not), that's an option.

So, I just got off the phone with Asus. I accidentally broke the charging port in my infinity. It was charging and my son knocked it into the wall breaking the piece of plastic inside the charging port.I'll attach a picture to show the extent of the damage. They want roughly $240 to repair this. Maybe a little more or less. I obviously dont want (and really dont have) the money to fix it right now. And I feel like paying half the cost of the tablet to fix a small piece of plastic is insane.

Has anyone here ever broken their charging port and if so how did you fix it? If you have any suggestions at all id appreciate it. Im pretty good with electronics and was hoping that I may be able to fix it myself.

I had a similar issue on my tf101. smashed the center pins on the port on the tablet. bad deal. I havent done this on the tf700 but thought I would point you in the direction i took on the tf101. I found a rplacement port at asusparts. eu and ordered it. took about 6 weeks to get it. Everything on their site is very cryptic and hard to follow. I would suggest opening it up and removing the port/board to see if there is a part number on it, then search their site for that part number. plus you can visually match it up better this way.

Hope this helps. my tf101 is in great shape now, gave it to the kids ;)

Where did you get the part? and were there any tricks to fixing it yourself?

I'm in the same boat. The way the port and cable are (badly) designed it looks too easy to break with just a little downward pressure. I'm surprised more people aren't complaining about this. I tried going through Asus ($241/non warranty repair... screw that) and local shops say they can't get the part. I have an email out to asusparts.eu to see if the fpc cable they carry is compatible and whether they can ship to CA.

There have to be more people having the same issue.

OK so yes I will send you a picture of what it looks like when I get off work. The nomenclature is stamped on the ribbon its-self. I bought the "correct" one from Asus and it was not at all for the 700t. I purchased another from a online seller company and it was correct. As far taking it apart not for the faint of heart, you get to test the gorilla glass out to see how strong it is. Look up ifixit, there you will find the needed teardown instruction. So far tablet is fine.

When I put the tablet together , touch screen was not working . Again took it apart , tried reconnecting the ribbons . When i put it together again , I am able to charge and touch screen also working :good::good::good:.

Then tried connecting the tablet to the keyboard dock, To my horror , tablet is not recognize the dock. But when i connect the charging cable to dock , both dock and tablet are charging ( atleast the lights are on) . :crying::crying::crying:

sorry for upping this old thread...

I had the same problem and after substituiting the charging port with a new one, now the tablet takes forever tho charge the battery.

I'm using a usb cable plugged to the amazon basic charger (output 5V, 2.1A), but neither the os nor the recovery tells wether the tablet is charging. Nevertheless, if I leave it plugged for some hours it reaches 100%. Battery drains at usual speed, just takes forever to charge. Sometimes the touchscreen is unresponsive too, regardless of the ROM I'm using.

Is there something to do?
