[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Septembersrain:
I'm all kinds of torn myself. My Note II works perfectly and never lets me down. My guy got me a Note III. Well, the Note III isn't so trouble free. It's been a real nightmare actually. It has a beautiful screen and amazing performance. It also has overheating, a weird line on the screen, trouble charging, a really off centered home button, and I can't get picture messages at all.

So I've got the option to return it or to just exchange it. Honestly, my Note II isn't going anywhere as I'm not going to mod the III until they've found a way around Knox.

So, Should I just exchange it? The lady at T-Mobile did offer me $50 off for inconvenience and I just swap it. Easy as that. What do you guys think?

I say wait til next year for all the new devices s5, note 4, etc. Take the $50 and return the III. That's what I'd do. GL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Septembersrain:
I don't get the $50 if I return it. Only if I swap it. Plus I'm losing out on the accessories as the boxes were thrown out. I'm on the JUMP program and will likely still be paying on the III. I can always swap in and continue paying forward with a new model.

I'm only 3 days in with the phone, though I'm thinking I'll just swap it. If the second one doesn't work, then I'll give up for now.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sValtman17:
I was on the fence for over a month doing the math and denying the results! You've helped make the decision easier to wait for the note4.

A year down the road after buying the note2 at $600+ and now only being able to sale it at just over $300+, that disparity doesn't seem worth

the specs. Yes, the note4 resolution wins but really the note2's is fine enough for me. As far as performance and speed, both seemed equal.

The gear feature, well, I've been drueling waiting for a smart watch but after 30 minutes of trying to interact with the phone, I'll wait! Good start but

hope for a better finish.

btw- I wish my wife was into phones like you. Female techy are a cut above in my book. No flirt intended! ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmt1985:
I want the Note 3.. or should I wait for the Note 4? Currently owns Note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Septembersrain:
I ended up getting a second one of the Note III. I couldn't stand looking at my Note II anymore. I was actually sad but the screen and speed of the Note III actually spoiled me!

I'm happy with my replacement. The home button still drives me up a wall but it's not too bad. I tend to make a mountain out of a molehill.

I'd say that if you don't want to get the Note III, don't ever play with it. You'll be unable go go back like I was. Heh. :cool:

Thank you!

I'm in the JUMP! program so I figure that perhaps if I really feel inclined, I'll just move up. I'm already making payments, I'll be able to just keep doing that. I'm now in this perpetual upgrade cycle.

Just wish I had more time away from work. I haven't rooted this beast yet. I know you can without even tripping Knox. That's what I want to do until they find a workaround with recoveries and ROMs.

I'm not keen on watches or anything in the accessories department honestly. I'm a non-girly girl. It does seem useful though for people who do like watches however. =)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sValtman17:
I'm a kinda value or trend guy. spec vs spec didn't overwhelm or shadow the note2. My local market couldn't command much

more than 55 to 60% of the original purchase. With technology, there's no looking back on price, either the latest and greatest

knocks your socks off or it doesn't. Note3 didn't really slide my socks down! Not to say it ain't a sweet phone!

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

kinda feel like the jump thing is like leasing.Pros and cons for sure. I agree with you on knox. Curve ball for sure on the 4.3 boot loader.

Glad to hear the watch didn't excite you, definitely a guy thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Septembersrain:
I know a girl who has the watch. It looks huge on her tiny wrist though. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, it is very much like leasing. I own my Note II however, so I feel I'll likely keep moving up for a while.

Yes. Knox. Such a jerk move. I can understand the reasoning but voiding the entire warranty over it? Come on, rooting a phone won't cause things like the home button wiggling itself loose.... Which is my only concern right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Septembersrain:
I can't put on the darn screen protector for my Note III without pulling it off. It ruins the color or density of the screen. Weird!

Oh well. I've got a front closing case. It'll be okay.

Hey guys!

I want to pre order the HTC one right now, it says it has 4g LTE; but im not sure, does LTE work everywhere now (multiple radios on board) or do the frequencies differ by regions

what I want to know is ; will this:

http://www.handtec.co.uk/htc-one-32gb-silver.html

Work wit LTE in Canada (Rogers, Fido, Bell etc..)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voltron2k11:
1.) the LTE Frequencies vary from country to country...

From HTC:

Now comes the great news.. as far as I know Rogers uses 2600 MHz . so EU Version from the UK WILL work!

99% confident

EDIT:

Maybe this Thread can be moved to Q/A
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumball:
Rogers should have the phone next Friday....given that is when the pre-order offer ends
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Montague:
the one that available now, only has one band that matches rogers LTE band :2600

as far as i know and read from XperiaZ forum, (c6603 XperiaZ has almost same LTE band as ONE)

no one are able to get LTE.

if you need LTE. get it from your provider.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voltron2k11:
I could assume they have the US Model then? If they have the European one, all they need is the correct apns and maybe activate LTE over Settings.. DIAL *#*#INFO#*#* and then phone information ... and see if LTE is activated
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Montague:
as far as i know

we tried everything possible can to test LTE

last hope wehave is flash the baseband when xperia zl came out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2106818&page=40

anyhow

2600 is still not very realible (although i heard that one verison of Note2 that only got 2600 got LTE)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SS2006:
Alright so I guess I'll hold off. What band I'd missing exactly
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsatan:
So not 100%sure the uk version will work on rogers LTE??

how many version of htc one is there

i checked the htc uk n canada site

all the specs are the same

so ibm kind of confused

should i get that from uk or not

cuz its about 150$$$ different

I'm still waiting for mine:banghead:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Snow_fox:
Thanks guys. I'm really interested in them.

Honestly as goofy as it sounds it almost seems worth it just for a watch that can change facs:cool:

The idea of being able to check my text/email other stuff without having to constantly grab for my phone just sounds awesome.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
Well, I've had mine for just over a week now, and I gotta say, it was worth every penny. This thing is fantastic! Great battery life (I've only charged it once, overnight, so far), and a simple interface. It pairs with my phone without any issues, and if I wander out of range of my phone it automatically pairs back up once I'm back in range, nearly flawlessly (there have been a couple of times it's gotten stuck in "Searching" mode but all I had to do was open the app and hit the button to stop searching then hit the button again to connect).

I was worried what having a bluetooth device constantly connected would do to my OG's battery life, but I think I acually get better life out of it since I no longer have to turn my screen on to check my notifications. So I'm getting about the same or slightly better life out of the battery, while my screen on time has gone way down. YMMV.

My favorite feature of the Pebble by far is the ability to control my phone's music player (PlayerPro) with it. Plus since it's waterproof, I actually use it in the shower to listen to music and skip tracks that are too loud/quiet, or not what I want to hear at that moment. It will also control Pandora and most other players. The downside of PlayerPro (and Pandora) is that it doesn't use the correct API so the metadata doesn't show up on the screen, but if you use the stock player or some other players that do, the metadata should show up too.

So far I'm very impressed. It's everything I thought it would be. Once they release the SDK and some devs work their magic, this thing will be even more functional, but just as is, it's great.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Snow_fox:
That's actually pretty cool. I keep forgetting it is waterpoof.

I wish I would have ordered it when I could have got it a bit cheaper though. I'm still hesitant about paying $150.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] teflon252:
Hesitant paying 150 for a watch? What kind of watches do u wear?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] STravers:
can the watch display metro bus times as if it was running through the app on the phone?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
With a Tasker app someone made called Pebble Notifier you can get any and every notification that can show up in the phone's notification bar on the watch. So if your bus app creates notifications of the bus times they'll show up.

Once the Pebble SDK is released devs can add whatever functionality they want to it for their own apps, and other devs here could probably figure out how to make it work if they want to invest the time.

Not to mention the cartoonish and childish look of TW compared to the elegant, premium and matured-looking Sense UI.. S4 do really look cheap not only on the outside, but also inside..
[One (M7) General] BarryH_GEG:
Why yes, yes it does. And so did the SGS3 compared to most of its competitors including the One X. The N2 looks cheap too compared to other devices but look what LG's gone and done with the 5.5" Optimus G Pro. Why do you think that is? Answer: the "cheap" looking phone is a market leader and sells in massive quantities and LG wants a piece of Samsung's pie. LG's taking a "if you can't beat them, join them approach" while HTC's going their own way (again). We'll know which approach wins by mid-year based on sales.

[One (M7) General] Livebyte:
Funny thing I like the LG's design more. It's so sexy and that's the first time I ever said about an LG device not counting the Nexus.
[One (M7) General] Dmwitz:
What strange remarks!

The One seems to have awesome build, it definitely feels expensive and looks pretty awesome compared with almost all the competition. Can't argue there. But to post side by side pictures of what could be almost identical phones and say that one is sexy and other not is just silly. We all - I assume - know that the UI can and will be changed by most if not all users that read this forum and another launcher will probably also be installed. That's one of the joys of android.

TouchWiz, Sense does it really matter. I really disliked TouchWiz on my Galaxy S, put that was 3 years ago. TouchWiz on my Note II is crazy smooth and fluid and to be honest never really seen as I use Nova Prime or SSlauncher.

I chose the Note II for the battery, the screen size and the S-Pen. Others choose for other reasons. Lets live and let live.

One last observation. The UI is just a door to the fun stuff on the inside!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuxtux:
So I really haven't like this nexus. The screen sensitivity is bad (can't swipe my pattern to unlock as quickly as my GNexus) I have to register carrier.

But I can put all these problems aside if I can only get my microphone gain to be better. I heard that the Nexus 4 uses two microphones. One when on speakerphone and and other when using headset.

With my Gnexus I use to be able to plug in a shox speaker to the headphone jack and people would hear me clearly with this they can't even hear me.

If I can only make the gain a little higher 10-20db or have it switch to the speaker phone mic (which is better) that would solve my problem. Are there any apps or mods I can use to do this?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishmeet10:
Hey, Guys I had the CM10 Jelly Bean rom downloaded from Rom Manager (I know I shouldnt have used Rom Manager but too late). The rom was giving me problems of low call volume and mic, Losing signal and some other stuff so someone suggested me to use Dark Side Super Wipe and reinstall the rom. I did and Now the phone won't boot up it stays on the CM screen and the Nothing works in the recovery. I tried back and restore doesnt work, Tried installing super wipe again doesnt work. Reseting phone to factory doesnt work. So basically im stuck. I did my search couldnt find anything similar to my problem so I decided to post here. Next step I was going to take is put it on download mode and flash stock rom with ODIN but before I do that I wana get advice from you experts.

I made a short video describing the problem so please take a look to get a better idea of what im talking about. Unfortunately forums wont let me post the links because i have less than 10 posts so please type the title on youtube with my username

Re: Off-topic other device and upgrading phone discussion

I was getting tired of the sgs3 regarding updates. 5.0 will come soon and we aren't even on 4.2 . once I had the nexus which I got as a replacement due to Tmobile not having sgs3 in stock ( don't ask weird situation). I realized I missed the drop down toggles and how quick it was to silent the phone. There's also no WiFi calling which is only important to me at work since I work in the basement and need to have for my wife and emergency calls. Also lack of SD which I though wasn't going to be an issue is. I hate having to transfer all my pictures and the ones that don't fit I'd rather not have stored on the cloud. I guess aside from getting quick updates and vanilla android, its not such an upgrade for me. It us for others but the sgs3 is more my style for the features that I use it for. :/. Getting a brand new one from Tmobile at non cost due to what happened. I do have to return the n4 though but I think I won in this situation.

Thinking of upgrading from S3 to S4.... Is it worth the money ?????
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Early reports say no... And the bootloader is locked as well. They managed to root it but it may be awhile before custom ROMs can be installed. Battery life is worse than the One as well (its marginally better than the battery life of the S3 by early accounts).

If you have an S3, I would recommend waiting at least until Google I/O to see what they have up their sleeves... The Snapdragon 800 devices are coming this year and they look to be beasts... Hell do a Google on "LG D801" and see what I mean...

Tegra 4i is coming too. Its too early to jump into another device in my opinion - the S3 just has so much life left in it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shaharyaraziz:
Point taken, I think i'll wait for a while and will also check out the LG, besides I am addicted to flashing Custom Roms :D..... by the way the toggle 2g app is pretty good for conserving Battery, I have a very heavy Phone usage that includes 4 Email Accounts set on Push and several hours of call time daily and still the battery lasts me the whole day and that app alone is reason enough for me to stay away from phones that are still under early stages of Rom Development.

You are only 50% correct.

You can buy the S4 outright for $689.00 or somewhere close to that
