Really hope that sprint goes with soft bank.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
I believe I did with the statement I made earlier...

But if that's not clear enough, I think Mr Ergen of DiSH says it pretty clearly himself. (Thanks, sling)

ugh. read the bolded parts. those are telling the story you want to pay attention to, what will affect your bill, and service quality in the future.

Now stop for a second, and think about Comcast, and where their profits come from. And why they fear the cable-cutter. Why they are willing to go neck deep into fighting piracy. Why they will fight tooth and nail to sell you bundled TV with your internet, or charge you obscene amounts for the internet alone. Why they have arbitrary data caps because of "network congestion", as they claim. (research that one, technically and economically, total utter crap)

Do you think that TV synergy bundling is going to be free? Do you think that you won't be paying for it, even if you don't want (subscribe to) it?

Applying the economic business motivations of a television network (content providers) to a wireless providers (data service) business model is BAD for the wireless consumer. Mark my words.

Say goodbye to unlimited data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
Obvious you know multitudes more on the issue than I do. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. If all you say is right, I'm willing to eat some crow and vet for the Softbank deal to go through.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
I read dish is really trying to stop the softbank deal from happening. How can they do that? Isn't there some kind of code or ethics. The softbank deal has been going on for months and they have given sprint a lot of cash upfront. I personally dont think we have anything to worry about. Sprint will go with softbank.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sling:
Oh yes dish is playing hardball.

How can they do that? Its business ,

Isn't there some kind of code or ethics? Once again its business.

A good read

Sprint will go with who ever gives the most Money... these businesses are run by a ceo and a board of directors. . not just one person making the decision. ..plus it would go to a shareholder vote. .. The board is going to basically take which ever one they benefit most from monetarily. ..

i sure hope they do merge with softbank ...would rather have a cell phone company running sprint than a run of the mill always been second to directv ....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] CorruptionDee:
I haven't touched on this subject since it was first announced. The fact is, I'm in the camp that supports a SoftBank merger. Dish Network's offering benefits only shareholders, not stakeholders like us who are Sprint customer. When I think of Charles Ergren, I think of a tyrant who will stop of nothing to acquire Sprint just so he can spread the Hopper across mobile phones. He'll rule the company with an iron fist, kill off the Sprint name, and run the company into the ground. The deal may seem good on paper, but what about the debt it will bring? What about the fact it's never mentioned how the deal will benefit customers and greatly improve service?

Dish network's offer is bad news if you're a Sprimt customer. I know SoftBank from my travels to Japan, and they're the real deal. They're highly competitive and their vision is far more compatible with Sprint. They were the first Japanese company to offer the iPhone, and it paid off in dividends. I've seen Masayoshi Son take a mediocre cell phone company (Vodaphone Japan) and transform it into one of the better carriers in Japan. There's no doubt in my mind that he would do the same for Sprint. The LTE rollout would be a lot quicker and we would eventually see Sprint be more competitive with AT&T and Verizon. With Dish.....not so much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
+1. Same experiences here. Late father in law used them and no complaints. Signal not the best around my in-laws but he invests well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
I read that intel is talking with the FCC telling them that the dish deal is not a good one for business that softbank would be great for everyone. I agree softbank is the way to go keep thr hopper and dish. Sprint might get more upfront with dish but in the end they will loose. With softbank they get less upfront but will have more in long run. I think Dan Hess will make the right call he wants a long term not short
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] CorruptionDee:
Like I've stated before, a Dish Network merger isn't good if you're a Sprint customer. Their offer is very misleading, and looking at what's publicly available, you'll see that they never mention whether or not they intend on dismantling the company and eliminating the Sprint name altogether. Brand recognition is very important, and while Sprint is experiencing some tough times due to competition and their slow Network Vision rollout, they were always one of the better carriers as far as pricing, coverage, and customer service.

Dish has zero experience in the cellular service sector. Their business practices stink, as far as the way Charlie Ergren treats his employees. The Dish network "deal" would incur billions or dollars of debt, and would not even be completed for over a year. Meaning it would slow down an already slow Network Vision process. SoftBank is the way to go. It's money that will be used immediately to improve coverage and speed up the Network Vision LTE upgrades. Investigate for yourself, SoftBank is experienced and profitable right now. Which would you rather have? A subpar network that may be rebranded, and features The Hopper? Or a highly competitive network that features LTE everywhere with 1900MHz, 2400MHz, and 850Mhz LTE by next year?

I don't know how much influence Intel with have, but hopefully Sprint's board members can see through the smoke and mirrors and realize that the Dish network deal will kill Sprint and strengthen Verizon's and AT&T's monopoly on spectrum, etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Epix4G:
sprint

i agree the deal with softbank is the best ,but it still is not anything we can do about it .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] CorruptionDee:
I'm aware that as customers, there's nothing we can do. However, if things go downhill, we can go to T-mobile. With that said, Masayoshi Son and company are very confident that the deal with go through, as planned, on July 1st. Hopefully, he knows that the board members and decision makers will see the Dish deal for what it is...highly conditional and deceptive.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
Well, thank god the DiSH thing fell through.

And it looks like the SoftBank/Sprint/Clearwire thing is going to happen. personally I think this is great news, and means good things for Sprint, and it's customers, like us. I'm thrilled. (As thrilled as one can be about a merger they have no stake in, anyway.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k3v0:
That IS good news. D!SH has absolutely nothing to offer me as a customer.

On August 29th at 02:14 my Note2 will become self-aware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
yea, if you read some of my earlier comments, I express fear re: what services DiSH would have tried to force upon us, charge us for, how it made NO sense for a TV programming distributor to become involved in communications and would have benefited no one but DiSH invester, if at all.

With SoftBank we have a financial backer well established in cellular communications and tech forward investments and several magnitudes greater of assets to work with (compared to DiSH), and with the clearwire acquisition LOTs of spectrum for use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
Any ideas for a timeline when we start to see the benefits of this?

sent from my ginormous Note II
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
Honest? At least a year before we see any "end user" benefits mostly, with the exception of a likely acceleration in LTE rollout (cash infusion!) and network speeds, and we all know that's no small huzzah to the many still waiting for the rollout to reach their 'hoods.

As a long term Sprint customer, I am well used to waiting for things, so I can roll with the long term outlook on this. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
I hear you all around. I'd be happy with an accelerated LTE rollout. Heck, if I got real 3G speeds in town, I'd be happy as a clam. My 3G is almost unusable (often it really is unusable for data), the only reason I can tolerate this is +90% of the time I'm on WiFi.

Its not the flaahable zip.

Its the system dump for the developers who port the apps ro different device.

No apps can be ported from S4 until we get an official 4.2.2 update. 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 are not cross compatible.

This was posted when the firmware was not released.

And this is not for the porting Rom and use as a base.

But used for the developers who port apps.

And who requires.

The dump file and the supported files to working of the apps.
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Most are not, some are. S health, S voice etc. runs fine here. Would have to wait for the more "cool" features though, I'm especially waiting for the camera and eye scroll! That'd be awesome on Note 2. We'll have more fun with it with the awesome battery life :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] MarionCast:
Camera port please
[Galaxy Note II General] kailashnj:
So what you are saying is that we can extract the Shealth and Svoice apks and directly install on our Note 2 and voila we have these apps working fine on our Note 2...

Is that correct? then will start to download the dump asap.
[Galaxy Note II General] Zeuscluts:
The direct installatiin is not possible. I think.

As its the change of framework.

And will need to make and add some new lib files.

These are dump not the direct installation.

Best for the developers.
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
That's what I did and works like a charm. It's in the app section, just search for it :)

err thats not the same app its an slimmed down version from SamsungStore so its not the same :cowboy:

Um, AFAIK yes it is from S4 dump. Is SVoice even available in SamsungStore? :confused:

[General Questions and Answers] RIKIL:
Yesterday I dropped my phone and cracked the screen, although I can still use the phone for now if I need.

What I need to do before I take it in for repair is to do a full backup (I was thinking NANDROID so I can restore it easily) and I also need to unroot this device before I take it back in.

I downloaded the S3 unified toolkit from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1979290. I donated and got the updated 7.3.2 version and I do see new phones listed. I see an entry for SPH-L710 with 4.1.2 but my build number is JZ054K and the build for 4.1.2 in the toolkit is BMB1. In order for me to do a NANDROID backup I need to have the toolkit push an insecure boot image and I am not sure if that will be OK with the different build numbers.

Also, can someone advise me on the best way to restore this phone to the factory settings so I can take it in? I know there is a counter of some sort that counts the number of times I change something??? I don't specifically remember what that is.

Any help is appreciated.

Just download the the upgrade... Active Sync your XDA2 as a GUEST... RUN the downloaded file and cross your finger that everything will be alright.. :) It takes about 25-30 Mins(I cant remember exactly how long)

NOTE:

Disable your Anti-Virus if you have one! And I think I read somewhere that you cant use Windows98 to do this, so use Windows2000 or WinXP. I am using XP-Pro.

Good Luck m8!

Yes you can, see this right now you can only get E speed on it. My S3 is actually flashed to Pageplus and I can use it with any GSM carrier here in the US, it's fairly easy to do but like I said you only get "Edge" speed for now. I've use Net10, Simplemobile and StraightTalk, any GSM will work you can also flash to other CDMA like Metro, Cricket or Pageplus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] porto35:
you have no idea about Verizon S3. Don't try to be smart my friend. I'm very sure that you don't own any S3 from Verizon. Stop BS about CDMA and GSM radio. I have been used my Verizon S3 for Tmobile for more than 8 months. :p

yes but havent tried

there are several places saying it is totally possible and ive called verizon trying to see what they would say and the answer i got, at least for out of the country GSM, is that the S3 comes "unlocked already" and you just put in the sim card from whatever out of country carrier you want. apparently that came with the 4.1.2 update to the phone. Now putting with a us carrier might be different but i cant try it because i have my phone flashed to metropcs and i cant just put a metro sim card in it. here a few places i found just by looking on google

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
U actually can use the Verizon variant s3 on tmobiles network as the s3 is a world phone, now here's where and why most ppl don't, Verizon's network is CDMA as we all know and T-Mobile is a gsm network, so with the s3 being a world phone it can be used on a gsm network but u will never see 4g or even real 3g speeds, Verizon's s3 doesn't have the ability to pick up anything but "E", edge speeds on T-Mobile so is it really worth it? Not in my opinion, if I'm going to blget an s3 I want the full functionality of the devices capabilities, just saying though lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] robcop19:
Si you have any idea how to do that?

---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

Metro now had sim cards running off of t-mobiles towers so I don't think it has to be flashed anymore but unlocked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] robcop19:
Well I actually already flashed mine to metro but then for anyone else that would mean you have to figure how to unlock the verizon s3 and move it to the Gsm for metro. And what I want to see is if it'll pick up 4G
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
I can say with some certainty that u will not see 4g using a Verizon variant s3 on T-Mobile network, yes its a world phone and yes u can get it to "work" on T-Mobile but it doesn't have the right kind of internal for gsm 4g network speeds, the most u will see out of it is E or edge, 2g speeds, at least until the towers get updated
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] robcop19:
3G

I dont know why im complaining except for the 4G status but i get full 3G and i have no buffering at all on youtube and its so quick. but you think if the towers get some kind of update then maybe 4g might work one day? because i understand if i dont get t-mobiles 4g but what about metro pcs 4g lte
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
I can't say for certainty but as of right now any unlocked world phone from a CDMA based network will only pick up 2g or edge network speeds, it may say 3g or even 4g but believe me unless ur in an area where towers have been remapped u will not see anything above 2g ,maybe base 3g ,only because the radio isn't designed to pick up the gsm frequency, now in the near future cdma will be phased out so u may be able to get 4g in the future but not as of now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Setapart4all@Gmail.com:
Ummm I've flashed many many a phones and yes the s3 has gsm radio bands inside it and yes it can be flashed...not unlocked...to include gsm bands and a PRL that matches your carrier...fill out a couple of extra fields and bobs your uncle.
