[Galaxy Note II General] speculatrix:
Not only more internal storage, but partitioned to give a lot more space to apps, and not use it as a virtual SD card.

scratchess? gorilla glass is almost scratch proof, but it is brittle (a colleague cracked his S3 only yesterday dropping it from pocket)

I'd like a bit more metal in it, maybe in the band around the edge

good stereo speakers would be a win. long ago I had a Nokia N800 "tablet" and its front-facing stereo speakers were excellent for the size.

IR blaster? hmm, for me not essential but it'd be nice to have.

I'd be happy to have it a bit thicker if it meant having a bigger battery and a better camera (more room for better lens and larger sensor)

A 1080p display wouldn't matter so much, I find the 720p plenty good enough.

I am more than happy with the CPU performance, so I'd rather see 50% battery life improvement than 50% peak performance gain. Although a better GPU might be good especially if the display rez increased.

I'd like to see USB3 too to speed up file transfer. And the S4's 802.11ac for extra fast wifi.

I kind of wish MHL would be dropped altogether in favour of slimport, but the key for me would be to not need a separate power supply, like the S4's MHL port.

I'd like LTE *and* an FM radio please!

Stereo microphones for recording video would be cool. Or even a bluetooth stereo microphone accessory.

Talking of accessories, Samsung need to get the arse in gear and release all the accessories at the same time as the phone goes on sale, and for sensible prices. I've yet to see the multimedia dock widely available, and it's too expensive.

[Galaxy Note II General] xdapao3:
The Note II is, to me, FAR AND AWAY the best smartphone of the world. Actually, it probably is, for my needs and wants, the ONLY really usable and useful smartphone in the world, today.

I kept the OG Note for 15 months and would be able to keep the Note II for even longer with even more satisfaction (or, more exacly, *enthusiasm*).

The one thing that would make me instantly get a Note III even if they didn't change the tiniest HW and SW bit, is a 6.3"/6.5" (depending on bezels and aspect ratio) full-HD AMOLED display which is, and has ALWAYS been, my ideal display size.

If it will have a 5.99" display as rumored I will probably get a Note III (provided they don't do something stupid like the also rumored f*cking metal body with even more f*ucking non-removable battery, in which case I would NEVER buy one) only when its price came down, several months down the line, like I did with the Note II.

I use smartphones since 1999 (Ericsson P800) and to date the ONLY consumer electronics device that I have ever bought as soon as I could find one anywhere in Europe at any price has been the OG Note. One of my best buys ever.

A 6.3" Note III even with the exact same specs as the Note II would be the second device ever that I would buy at any price as soon as I can get one anywhere in Europe. It would be my dream "pocket PC" finally come true...
[Galaxy Note II General] lmtHoggy:
If the N3 has these features, it will be a definite buy for me.

-Bigger screen in the same/smaller physical dimensions

-Wireless charging

-The usual tech advancements (CPU, GPU, battery, etc)

-microSD slot and removable battery

-Minimum 32GB internal storage

-Well reviewed that doesn't show any fatal flaws

-Unlocked bootloader

[General Questions and Answers] dover19:
Does anyone else think that T-Mobile's coverage map is BS? I bought a T-Mobile SIM card for my unlocked HTC Desire C when I a traveled to USA and I was NEVER able to get a 3G signal anywhere. Every now and then my phone would show the 3G icon, and the minute I did something it would go back to Edge.

I'm wondering if it's an issue with my phone. Not sure why because it works great on the Rogers network in Canada.
[General Questions and Answers] underscorenorm:
yeahhhhhh

Where in the US were you? I've found that in most cases I have 3g/HSPA+, but I live in the city. I only have to drive 30 miles out of town before I lose signal.

I'm in Indianapolis, Indiana using an SGH-T679.

Although, I don't disagree with you, there's a high chance their coverage map is BS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tmagritte:
I'm having some strange issues with my S3 and micro SD cards. I noticed any attempt to access one of the folders will force crash any app that tries.

Then I did a nandroid backup from TWRP recovery and when I rebooted the phone, it claimed that the card was empty or damaged.

So I connected the card to my computer to backup everything that was there. Windows did say it needed to be scanned for errors but it didn't find any errors. It was formatted as exFat so I could put larger than 4 GB files on it.

When I put it back in my S3 it wasn't detected at all. No error messages, it was just as if I hadn't put any card in. Under Storage settings, under mount external SD card it just says to insert a card.

What I've found since then is in order to get the S3 to recognize that there is a card I need to do a full format (either FAT32 or exFAT) on my computer. If I do a quick format, it still won't be recognized. I need to do a full format.

But then, if I unmount and connect to my computer, then eject from my computer and put it back in my S3 it isn't detected again and I have to do a full format again.

I thought maybe the card had become defective, but I'm seeing the exact same behaviour now with a different card. The first one I was using was a class 10 32 GB lexar card. The second one is a class 10 16 GB Adata card. Both do the same thing. After a full format on my computer, they are detected on the phone but after unmounting, mounting on my computer, not doing anything except ejecting it, they stop being detected by the S3.

I've even tried re-formatting the card in the phone but that doesn't change anything.

Anyone know what's going on here? Is the phone defective? I don't want to send the phone in for warranty repair except as a last resort as I suspect that would mean several weeks without a phone.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoteboyTech:
Guys, I don't know but Note gets heated up a lot from the camera Side.. the battery remains cool though.. what is this?. can It be stopped. I guess your notes must have been suffering from this? any solution?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satven21:
samsung galaxy note gt n7000

Heating ....how much...generally while charging it gets heated up. Try some google aps any of those battery savers...they have an option to show the temperature. Also are you always of Wifi...if so your screen is sure to generate heat, which is normal.

Above all if it gets heated if you are not charging and not on Wifi does it cool down ? Considering your battery charge is above 70%.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabreFaction:
The phone heats up near the camera because that is where the CPU is located.

Running 3D games and other apps that require the phone to run at high CPU frequencies will heat up your phone.

If you want to avoid heat completely, then you need to look into Under Clocking and Under Volting.

It's simpler with a rooted phone and a tool like Rom Toolbox Pro.

Under Clocking is where you limit the max CPU frequency the phone can use.

By default the Note is limited to 1400MHz, set the maximum frequency to a lower level, e.g. 1000MHz.

Under Volting is where you limit the current the CPU draws from the battery at certain frequencies.

Make sure you do some serious reading on XDA before you Under Volt, supplying too little current to the CPU will make the phone unstable and potentially corrupt data.

The advantages of Under Clocking and Under Volting are reduced heat and better battery life.

The disadvantages are potentially poorer performance in 3D games and other intense apps, and instability if Under Volted too far.

Hope this helps explain what you are experiencing and some potential mitigation.

Guys I just wanna say the battery backup of our galaxy grand is too low... I mean it drains to early when I start playing NFS most Wanted... And usually its drains early while even not playing games.... I would like to request our developers to develop some scripts and tweaks for saving battery....

then try to follow this

1. set ur wallpaper having plain black color only(black reduces screen power usage)

2.set ur brightness to bare minimum required.

4. turn off services u dont use in settings

5.use data as n' whn required(disable data whn not required)

you wont get any scripting support unless u enable root+init.d in ur rom.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rejocie001:
Juice defender is the outdated version.. It has no developer support. Last updated on 2012 Jan.. Check plays tore for more information.. Use greenify apps from playstore.. It automatically freeze apps.. When not in use.. It saves lot of ram and battery life... Try to avoid widgets it drains lot battery.. Famous launcher smart launcher didn't include widgets for this reason. Don't use any task killers it eats more battery. Android has inbuilt task killer in case of low memory..

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rejocie001:
Display is most power hog.. Secondly when you using widgets which eats more battery.. Try to avoid widgets.. Among applications most of the power consuming applications are Samsung bloatwares which needs more ram and processor... If you using flip cover one application called smart cover which switch off display when u close the cover and turns on when u open the flip cover.. For this apps u don't need root. The idea behind is that it works on proximity sensor.. U can also save battery by reducing the speed of processor when the device display turns off. Battery doctor is the name of the application.. For this u need root.. I'm a heavy user.,I'm getting a 6 to 8 hrs of battery..

I am currently using CM 10.1 on Galaxy Grand with Greenify. My phone lasts atleast 35-40 hours on 2G network. It's no rocket science that 3G uses alot of battery. I use the 3G network only when required like during navigation, etc. At other times I am connected using 2g or Wifi.

Should i risk with msm7227_semc.cmd? Manifaction date is 10W26 according the phone sticker and im 100% sure that i unlocked it once before the bricking, but i dont know after this jteg repair, give me some advice please.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Trying to unlock the bootloader of your device won't break it as bad as flashing the wrong kernel did. The only thing that can happen is that you lose the ability to connect to your providers network.

If you unlock the bootloader, boot up the phone and see if you still have signal. If that's ok you can go and flash the kernel.

If you don't have a signal, use S1tool's restore button to relock the bootloader again, usually your signal will come back that way.

And don't forget to delete the x10blrelock.ftf from your flashtool folder if you haven't already.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kumboom:
Ive tried msm7227_semc.cmd and the phone is bricked again :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
What happened?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kumboom:
S1 Tool said "NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE", but i started msm7227_semc.cmd anyway - it says "access denied" few times and the phone was restarted. I had signal and everything so i decided the unlocking was successful. I turned off the phone in order to flash the kernel, but when i started the Flashtool and it says "Hold back and plug the cabel" nothing happened (no green light, no screen, no nothing) than i tried to turn on or recharge the phone and nothing again. Bricked like before.

I guess the guy from the service was not using jtag repair machine, but replace the main chip, so thats why the phone act like it was manifactured after 11W21. However i didnt want to use the stock kernel so i had to try :)

Im separeted between U and Sola now ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
I guess you forgot to root the phone before starting the unlock-process, that's why you got access denied errors.

I'm not sure what you flashed though, but if you did anything else than the x10blrelock.ftf it should have failed.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kumboom:
No, Im pretty sure that the phone was rooted. I did it with SuperOne click - i check after and i had Superuser app in the menu. After that i installed Root explorer, granted superuser permissions and copy files of xRecovery at /system/bin. If the phone wasnt rooted i wasnt able to do that.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Enthydor:
But, if u are using e10i ... U should need 11w04 like mine or a little bit higher, or it will hard brick it.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ad78:
so i got a call from a TMO representative just now and its my 14days today and she is offering me a insurance. i disregard it because i told her. im pretty contented with the 1 year warranty. any glitches or something like the phone stopped working they can always exchange it with the refurbed one.

to my surprised, she told me NO. after 14days without insurance your on your own. they will not exchange the phone if something goes wrong with the phone. like i mention above.

is this true???? I'm new to T-Mobile. before im with verizon and within the whole year owning the S3 i had 4 exchanges due to the problems encountered.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] cromo8:
She was just trying to sell you. You do have one year warranty if you want to do an exchange it is a $20 processing fee without insurance and you have to wait 3-5 business days in shipping. If you have insurance bundle then it is $5 processing with overnight shipping. That alone is worth the insurance price. Have paid for it for about 4 Years and do not regret it one bit.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Devi0124:
I would do some research. I'm pretty sure the warranty is through the manufacturer and you would have to go through them. I could be mistaken though.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ad78:
At least for a year T-Mobile should handle it and not the manufacturer.

On Verizon it's $12 overnight and FREE shipping for 3-5 days. This is without insurance under a year policy.
