[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
You'd have to be a right twat to order a N4 on contract though wouldn't you? Ordering off contract with a giffgaff SIM comes to a saving of about £120 over the cheapest viable contract for both the GS3 and N4 (assuming you use the giffgaff SIM for 24 months and get cashback on the contract).

You should also expand on the compromises you're talking about. For a fair number of people (myself included) they don't really matter. I can completely understand why someone would want something else, but none of these compromises are a definite deal breaker in any way.

It is based on last years specs, but how bad is that? Find an app that the S4 Pro can't keep up with and I'll be amazed. I've had excellent battery life, the camera is sub par but not a deal breaker for me and the washed out screen is a myth. Unless you compare the screen directly to a competitor's, you'll think it's great. It has reasonable saturation as stock, and that can be greatly improved with a quick kernel flash. Build quality is excellent for me, I'd go so far as to say that the phone feels Apple-esque in that department. As for stock Android lacking in features, I'd agree but argue that skins are slow and ugly.

You can't just say 'better' without justification. The SGS3 is definitely not more stable than the N4, since neither has ever crashed for me. I find TouchWiz to be far less consistent in terms of performance than AOSP, and never faster. Benchmarks and reviews quite conclusively prove that the Nexus performs better. The better camera part is true, the software is down to personal preference but I find TouchWiz to be incedibly ugly (but definitely more feature rich than AOSP).

You may need to expand on '...the rest do it better than Google still'.

Custom ROM's don't run the same on all phones at all. There are varying degrees of stability and speed. You're likely to get good performance on any flagship device, but the HD2 for example doesn't run CM10 nearly as well as the SGS3.

Other OEMs' devices aren't more stable than the N4, I don't know where you got that from.

I understand that there are plenty of arguments in favour of other devices over the N4, but neither of you have made valid points here.

Pardon me if I posted on wrong section, and if this question has been asked too much.

Iam new to samsung android phone, moving from my xperia 2011 lost phone.

Regarding root, anyone had found a method like galaxy young methods?

Via update.zip I mean...

And why we cant flash them on this device?

Maybe someone had a problem with play store.

If we open an app screenshot, and slide it, this phone will vibrate, then the screenshot's gallery will close.

Then back to app's page.

I dont know which one was the problem, phone firmware, playstore, or my phone hardware?

Can anyone help me?

dont worry its not a big problem, stop using full screen photos in play store and problem gonna out.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Mini 2's stock recovery only allows Samsung signed .zips to be flashed. So you must have a custom recovery to root
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] physcodelic:
That's all the answer :D

Can I ask more question?

So we need Samsung signed zip file, right?

Is it possible if we steal those zip from Samsung OTA update file?

Like CWM signed zip file maybe...

Adding root file...and edit the script, something like that?

Just asking, maybe I should read more about samsung's android articles...

Its shame there are no update for our phone till now tho... T.T

This forum community never let me down. Thank guys

Note : Admin, please move my thread to mini 2 general/FAQ section if they had been created.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dels07:
to root you must flash CWM (squadzone/mb14) using odin, and flash root using those CWM

or

you can search for pre-root stock rom and flash it via odin

btw since you are indonesian, why you didn't join galaxy mini 2 facebook group where indonesian user discuss about this device:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowly747:
Hi all this is my first post, nice to meet you all.

Last week I connected phone to Kies and it asked to update to XXELLA (JB) so thought Ok I'll update it. At first was very impressed with some new features etc but my phone has since developed a few rather annoying problems.

1) Battery seems to go much quicker with no extra usage from me. Using the phone the exact same way.

2) Mobile data intermittently stops working after you come off the internet or an app no longer requires a connection. It will be turned on in the setttings but no 3G symbol on top of screen

3) The most annoying issue with this phone now since update is when the above happens (3G turned on but no connection) my phone will not send/receive text messages and will not call out.

I have to power cycle the phone to correct it (restart)

Just to let you know my phone is now rooted but this wasn't done til a few days ago and problem was happening before this.

P.S. I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem with texts etc, but a few weeks ago now I tried calling a mate on O2 only to be joined into someone elses conversation. We both could here the other person but they couldn't here us and I couldn't hear my friend either. Ended the call then rang my friend again and was fine. Just a bit scary that you could be in someone elses conversation unknowingly these days, and you wouldn't have a clue.

Any solution to my problems, other than to revert back to ICS instead of JB are welcome.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
As this is a Samsung update contact Samsung service centre .

Or try a factory reset or join XDA and flash stockJB firmware are your choices .

Root voids Samsung warranty

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowly747:
My phone has improved slightly instead of locking up reception as I'll call it when data turned on, it now works for a short while then stops working where as before it was as soon as it was activated.

I'll keep an eye on it and if it doesn't improve i'll unroot and contact samsung or get a custom rom put on and see if that improves things somewhat.

thanks

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Peter Galbavy:
My Note 2 stopped working on Friday night and wouldn't turn on. A bit of searching on here and I appear to have got me Sudden Death Syndrome - I thought that was a thing of the past. So, it's going to the service centre later but this weekend I got the chance to try my 10.1 as my only mobile device.

This is something I had given thought to anyway and I thought it would be fine. This wasn't to be the case. I found that wondering around doing normal day-to-day activities was not conducive to having a tablet with me at all times. I don't always carry a bag so a pocketable device is still important.

I gave in and bought a "disposable" £30 phone on Sunday while passing CPW (a Samsung, coincidentally, as the equiv Nokia was £10 more).

It was an interesting way to find out two devices will be required :)

I'm using GV (which lets me have one outgoing number on all my Telephony-capable devices) and will sometimes just use the phone (usually in Speaker mode) when I need to make a quick call. Works fine. Get a BT headset and you could get away with not having a "real" phone for a while.

Hey guys. Im confused. I use gv number as my regular number. How would I use it on my 10.1? From my understanding of gv, it needs to be routed to another number or your gmail address (which I have obitalk for landline using this feature) Is there a way to use the gv app to specifically make calls via wifi on 10.1? Im using talkatone for that but its glitchy. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kcrudup:
I couldn't tell ya- I have an 8000, which has a GSM radio in it and can get/make phone calls (and texts), so when I make an outgoing GV call, it uses the phone built into the Note (and it shows up as my GV number vs. the random number the SIM I use in it has).

I have no idea how Internet calling is done via GV (but I know some people do it).

Workaround for UK users

If you are in the UK and are a BT customer with a landline you can use their app BT SmartTalk:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bt.voiceapps.homeaway

I have been using this on my Samsung Galaxy Camera to make calls and it works surprisingly well as long as you are in a WiFi hotspot somewhere. It's limited to outgoing calls only but it's a workaround if your mobile phone dies in some way.

You can use it on more than one device but you can only attach it to your one BT account. It's very easy to setup.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Kind of a strange thread. This is what OP originally said that started the discussion.

"...this weekend I got the chance to try my 10.1 as my only mobile device."

Assuming OP has a N8000

it is a phone

. And the dialer is a multiview app so you can use the phone feature while still doing other things on the Note like jotting down notes or referencing a document without toggling between apps. Obviously, due to the Note's size, you're not going to hold it up to your ear. You can use it as a speaker phone or with a BT headset including the HM5100 BT S Pen. Used that way it's as valid as any other device as a phone and S Voice over BT is incredibly helpful. I'll sometimes forward calls and MMS from my phone to my Note so I only have to carry one device. Unlike OP, I tend to take my Note pretty much everywhere and the Book Cover case adds very little size or weight and functions well as a stand or prop for using the on-screen keyboard. I probably could use the Note as dedicated phone but a phone is a phone and a tablet is a tablet and each have strengths and weaknesses.

As for VoIP calling, the Note's no different than any other Wi-Fi enabled mobile device and all can be used with a variety of apps for voice calls and MMS. The only difference, as noted above, the Note's form factor makes it less than ideal as a primary communication device.

One advantage of the Note either in 3G form or using VoIP is its battery life compared to a phone that typically has a battery 2/3 smaller. That and the two forward facing speakers make it a great speaker phone. So in the end it all comes down to people's view on carrying something as large as the Note around to use as a communication device. Functionally it’s as good as anything else out there.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] erica_renee:
just pack a bigger purse and bluetooth .

This is so true.. use a bluetooth device and keep the tablet in my Purse.. is how i use my nexus 7 and could do the same with 10 in just pack a slightly bigger purse ..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Peter Galbavy:
That was sort of my point. When the N8000 is my tablet and my phone is in my pocket I don't notice. When I have to, effectively, carry the tablet everywhere not having a pocketable phone it imposes limitations on me that I wasn't aware of. Bluetooth range is well and good - I had my old Jawbone and the car handsfree kits too - but if you are just quickly popping out of the house or you want to just wander off with no baggage, literally, then the 10.1 is just too big.

90% of the time I have both devices within reach but it's that 10% that showed me that my lifestyle (for want of a better word) doesn't quite allow me to use only the 10.1 as my sole mobile device.

I am waiting for the HM-5100 to be an official UK device so the price drops and it will be cute, but my original plan to stop using the phone and use just the tablet got a very sudden reality check (for me - you are all different, of course).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KlonedAspect:
My contract with Verizon is about up and i do not want to lose my unlimited data plan so i am looking into getting a note 2 through other means than a renewal..

I will be traveling through Dubai in a couple of weeks and have the option to purchase one there in the duty free. From what i have read the verizon version of the note 2 handles both CDMA and GSM. Would the international version from Dubai do the same? Is it worth paying the cash for the international version of the phone? Another option is to switch to Sprint for thier unlimited data plan and the phone is only $70.00 through amazon wireless with a new contract.. But from what I have read you are very limited with thier version being stuck with straight CDMA and no sim card slot. I travel internationally twice a month so its pretty essentional that i have the international abilities.

Option 1: Purchase the international version from Dubai (around $500) no new contract

Option 2: Upgrade with verizon and lose my unlimited data ($180) new 2 year contract

Option 3: Switch to sprint and possibly suffer CDMA only ($70) new 2 year contract

If any of you are wiser than me about all of the different versions that the carriers have vs. the international version will you please enlighten me...

hope this made sense...
