Funny thing is all you gotta do to get info from a locked device is odin twrp, backup data then extract the info from the backup. Anyone who's after data on a device and not the device itself is smart enough to know this. If they just want thw device all they need to do is boot to stock recovery and factory reset. :rolleyes:

I've been seeing a lot of posts about this but don't see the fuss. There are other ways to get the info if the phone is physically taken. If just get an app to wipe phone remotely, but I don't see the fuss myself. I myself prefer TW, so AOSP wouldn't be a fix for me of I wanted one, either. I think it's just paranoia, it'll be patched at some point in sure after all the press this is receiving.

2. To be able to disable finger input at all on wacom devices if s-pen is in use. Auto-enable it on every off-on switch if I lost my s-pen and want to use my tablet further on.

3. To disable popping up software keyboard if usb or bt keyboard is in use.

4. Be able to adjust brightness even in low-battery mode.

5. Want to have a last warning or a countdown-timer one minute before shutdown on low-battery.

6. To open the kernel for custom usb-otg while power hackz. I build a cable with charge-or-not switch and external power support for otg devices. But can't use them both.

7. To disable the "Delete unrecognized storage" at all and ever in notifications. Because of one mis-tab and no last asking, I had to repair my partition-table (usb hdd w/ ntfs and ext4). -.-

8. Be able to select text by pressed shift key, like a normal computer since decades. (Shift and touch-finger-move would be fast and easy.)

9. Make any keyboard-command (hackerkeyboard or usb/bt keyboard) usable. Like ctrl-c or the arrow-keys. Everywhere.

So far a good app for the note 10.1 is the s-penboardswitcher app. Two keyboards for touch or s-pen-mode.

And most roms with their special enhancements. Thanks for that!

Maybe you have some more optimization-ideas too. Maybe you like (+1) one of these points. Maybe enough ppl to make a most-wanted-usability-optimizations highscore.)

agreed. On disabling, all finger inputs on the entire device. Is there a software issue that's causing them not to be able to do this? I don't get it, for a company that is supposedly "innovative", did they complete forget what happens when people write.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
Hey guys, I know these threads aren't exactly welcome, but this was kind of weird.

I was carrying out my papers, listening to my Spotify playlist. After about three hours, I had 34% battery charge left. About ten minutes later, 11%. Then my phone died, because the charge was gone and it didn't get past the boot logo.

I arrived home about 10 to 15 minutes ago and tried to boot my phone, it booted and had 24% charge - how does that work?

Here's a screenshot

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Internal resistance of the battery increased due to high temperature, voltage dropped to shut off threshold. After the phone was allowed to cool the resistance dropped and voltage returned to the actual 24% level remaining.

It sounds like your battery could do with replacing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
Sounds reasonable, but I don't think so. I was doing my paper round at ~1 degrees C and my phone was in my front pocket of my jacket, so it was pretty cold. (Now thinking of that, maybe I should have written that in the OP, as well.)

But I think you're right with the battery exchange. Ever since I got my replacement S III I've been having better and yet again worse battery charge-durations. It lasted longer, but took from ~10PM charging through my XBox 'till 2PM when I go out and stuff...

But still, thanks :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
There are several possible causes to your issue

- When batteries are cold, their capacity drops so when you get home it warms up and has some charge left

- Your battery's electronics had an incorrect counter. Do a full load/unload cycle and it should calibrate correctly
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
I don't think it would be a faulty counter. The phone was so dead it didn't reach the boot logo.

I'd say option one is most likely.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wilford Brimley:
Hey guys, so my HTC G2 just pooped out on me, and after looking at many phones, the Note 2 seems to be one of the best I've ever seen.

I'd like to buy one, but not sure what the best way to do it is. I have Tmobile 30$/month unlimited 4g prepaid plan, and I don't want to change it, thus need to buy the Note 2 directly, no plans to drop the price.

I'm also cursed with the inability to own a decent phone. I've owned 4 smartphones and they've all been crap to me. Constant problems, constantly sending in for warranty replacement, or completely dying on me for whatever reason. I need a decent warranty if this happens with the Note 2.

Now I've bought phones in the past via craigslist, but I've recently learned that people can screw you over by reporting the phone stolen right after you buy it and making it an expensive paperweight of sorts. Plus if it is used, you never know what the previous owner did to it. Money is not too crucial to me, but the cheaper the better.

So the question is, what are my options for either paying the least amount and/or getting a decent warranty?

Should I buy it directly brand new from T-mobile store? Anyone know how long the warranty will last if bought brand new? Is there a manufacture's warranty I could depend on even if I didn't buy it brand new? What about Walmart or Best buy or other store?

I've heard you can avoid the craigslist scamming by bringing the phone to Tmobile and having them switch the owner based on the IMEI number or something, anyone know about that?

Also, I've read some people are unable to use the full network bandwidths due to something with the Note 2. With my prepaid plan, will this be an issue or can I just stick my SIM card in and it will work just fine? I'm not very familiar with how the networks operates and all the technical jargon...

Again, I'm a pretty big newbie, so if you can help me understand this stuff, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

squaretrade $99.00 dollars for the plan $99.00 deductible http://www.squaretrade.com/samsung-galaxy-warranty ......, T mobiles warranty isn't bad either, as long as it isn't water damage or a broken screen. I've gotten my phone replaced so many times by customer care without paying a cent
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sixpoint1:
Do they need a receipt for that? I bought a phone through ebay so I'm assuming that wouldn't work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HKSpeed:
I would rather buy a new Nexus 4 than take my chances with a used Note2 from Craigslist or eBay.

If you buy the Note2 new, Samsung will extend the 1 year warranty to 2 years after registering on their site. I'm not sure if they still have that promo going on right now. If you also buy it new with a credit card, you card company may include a warranty extension. AMEX and Discover do it, but I'm not 100% what their terms are.

Amazon also sells the 2 year Squaretrade warranty, in case you have Amazon credit.

http://www.amazon.com/2-Year-Smartphone-Accident-Protection-Above/dp/B0041OXLPW

Few things about Squaretrade smartphone warranties:

There are 30-40% coupons all over the internet (google it). You can also join their emailing list to recieve these coupons.

Excludes eBay purchases. Click on "iPhones & Smartphones" at the bottom of this page: http://www.squaretrade.com/our-coverage

Does not cover lost or stolen phones. I suppose you can get around that by buying a non-operational phone and submit it as the original.

Squaretrade warranty must be purchased within 30 days of buying the phone. You can try getting the warranty after 30 days, but you run the risk of Squaretrade not honoring it if you ever need to file a claim.

Go to T-Mobile. Buy the phone. No contract. They finance the phone. No interest.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HKSpeed:
Here's the fine print:

Qualifying rate plan required.SRP $679.99. 0% APR On Approved Credit for well-qualified buyer.

Availability and amount of EIP financing subject to credit approval. Down payment & unfinanced portion required at purchase. Balance paid in monthly installments. Must remain on qualifying plan in good standing for duration of EIP agreement. Taxes and late/non-payment fees may apply. Participating locations; not available in Wash., D.C. Example(s) shown reflects the down payment & monthly payments of our most creditworthy customers; amounts for others will vary.

Looks like a contract to me.

Unfortunately RonnieRuff's suggestion won't work with pre-paid plans.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
No... Did you expect to get the phone free after a month LOL? Whenever you pay off the phone you can cancel, you cannot cancel and keep the phone without paying for it but you can cancel at any time, just they are not going to lend you 679 bucks no interest because you look like a nice person.

Too funny!

The old way was you paid let's say 199.00 bucks, if you canceled early you still had an early term fee = to the price of the phone and the monthly rate was higher.

There is a saying that "A picture is worth a thousand words" in this case i hope that the thread that i open recently will give at least one correct answer for your question.

In short,there are some users like me that experience network problem and some not,In my opinion i suggest to wait to galaxy 4 or to buy this version and check it carefully In the early days after purchase. again i think to wait to the new one or to buy another 2gb ram & lte.

Hope that will help you to decide.

And about buying s4 I can't really wait that long cuz its gonna take at least 2/3 month to come to my country after release and I dont see any alternative to s3 cuz I really want the expandable memory and removable battery feature. Now I can buy the non LTE version to avoid problems but I really want to have the 2GB ram. :(

Hi again,

Yes and no,yes- i still have problem,but now it seems to workout without a restart,it happen me yesterday,i can not call and surf and after half a minute everything back to work just fine by himself. The no- is cause i did not flashed any other modem,yet. the delay is still exists in net surfing.

I really understand your need to 2gb ram,this was also look like big plus to future android o.s,like the 5.0 that will probably will support in better way than jellybean.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] harryrasul:
Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me out. I am having issues since the past few days with making and receiving calls. The phone FREEZES while on a call, (there is no set time as to when this happens) and I have no choice but to take out the battery and put it back to restart the phone. It is becoming a quite a nuisance and was wondering if this was due to some application or something else I'm unaware of. I had a phone protector and I've taken it off since the past few days but it still freezes while on a call. FYI...I use the GO Dialer EX for the calls, have avast mobile security installed as a virus protection. I have *TheCollective* AoCP - CP5.3 installed with AOSP JELLYBEAN 4.2 Linux 3.0 Ktoonsez kernel.

Any help would be appreciated. This freezing is driving me insane...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] simonMac777:
Such problems can be something hardware. I had a similar issue with my old cell phone, freeze for 10-15 seconds maybe, and then reboot. There was an error in the Sd-card. My suggest is to use some app for check/scan your sd cards for errors. If your sd card is corrupted for some reason, or has some files corrupted, read or write from it can produce unpredictable results, like a freeze.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GNEXUZ:
Yeah, could be any number of things, including a corrupted file on your SD. You can check for errors on your SD by following these steps:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] harryrasul:
Thanks folks for your suggestions. I have used the avast internet security app to scan the apps as well as the SD card and it hasn't found anything wrong. I did a fresh install of a new ROM today (AOKP) and it did the same thing today. While making calls it was freezing up at random times. I did try one though, which is use the PHONE icon as opposed to using the GO Dialer EX and it didn't hang but I may have to try that several times to come to come to any conclusion.

Would formatting everything and doing a fresh install fix it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
so you're saying that when you use the included android dialer you have no issues? so we can conclude that go dialer is the culprit?

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

and formatting everything might fix things. if you're going to make the effort, i'd wipe data, cache, dalvik, format /system, flash rom/gapps, wipe data and cache again.

its also common to have issues when not coming from stock when you flash an aosp-based rom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] andrei80:
I am having the same issue. Phone freezes sometimes during calls. I can finish the call, but then the phone is frozen, I have to take the battery out or wait for phone to restart after a while...Also, sometimes looks like proximity sensor doesn't work, as it doesnt turn on screen in call when I remove phone from ear.

Hi,

Just upgraded my phone a week ago or so and am having some issues getting ADW Launcher to stay as the default replacement home launcher after rebooting.

Every time I reboot the phone it will ask which app to use for the Home button. I choose ADW and Always. It keeps that setting until the next reboot.

Any ideas??

Thanks,

Bob
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
Are you running any special mods or tweaks that might be wiping the Defaults settings?

Just curious have you tried Apex or Nova launcher? IMHO, they seem to be lighter and faster than ADW, but that's my preference!! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rcmolski:
I'm running stock JB; read some articles about rooting, but haven't rooted yet. Had my Charge rooted with no problems.

I will try another launcher, but I think I also had GO Launcher installed and it did the same thing. Doesn't seem to be launcher related. It almost seems that Sammy wants their launcher to be the default, so it asks every time the phone reboots.

I bought ADW while it was on sale a while back. It worked better on my tablet than Apex and Nova. I am really only running it on my phone because I bought it and to be on the same launcher as my tablet.

Thanks,

Bob

UPDATE: just installed Apex and rebooted; no prompt for launcher app. Must be something with ADW. I'll have to shoot them an email.

Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueCross:
Adw is garbage. Nova launcher is where it's at.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
The free nova installs lookout security, not cool in my opinion, but they must get some kickback. I use the paid apex, it works pretty good.
