I didn't realize it had only been two weeks. But yeah, same with me i guess. Rooted, got rid of the bloatware, uninstalled some apps. And now i can use the multi wondow manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baileyjr:
I'm absolutely with you on that one mate. I'm actually hoping the go for the full 7" screen at some point.

I'm currently rocking the Note 2... I have bought a Mega 6.3" for the mrs and I'm waiting to see what the Note 3 will bring. However I think the Note 3 will be around 6" so the largest top spec device is going to be the Xperia X Ultra for some time, so thats what Im planning on going for (despite the limitations of non removable battery an no flash)... I'd love a 6.5 or 7" Note with small bezels, removable battery etc but I just cant see it being an option this year..

I do predict though that next year we will see some genuine top notch 7" convergence devices. Even with the new Xperia X Ultra if they had trimmed the top and bottom bezels they could have almost fitted a 7" screen into the same footprint. It would have to be "marginally" wider of course. Exciting times ahead I think. I know the tech industry moves fast, but its not moving fast enough for me lol

Bold move by Sony though. At least they are genuinely trying, even if they haven't quite hit it on the head yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Techngro:
I hear what you're saying, and I love the large screens, but that Xperia Ultra looks TOO damn big. I think they crossed the line with that one. :) I think that 6" is perfect for me, but i'm willing to do the Mega 6.3 because Samsung made it so thin and it looks stylish. But the Xperia Ultra kinda looks like a small brick. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dante-fu:
This would be an ideal device for me if it only had apt-x support. Samsung build quality, large battery, great display, no Exynos(!!).

I have wireless speaker system at home and I use HS3000 headset a lot when I am commuting.

The difference in sound compared to standard Bluetooth A2DP is noticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
I thought it has apt X support as mentioned in the Engadget

review

Anyway, we use Sonos so it's not a requirement for us.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baileyjr:
I agree and I'd have been happier with the mega form factor. Lets hope they see fit to outfit it with top specs at a later point.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
Here is a video

of the Xperia ZU pocket test. I don't think you can walk comfortably with that in your pocket let alone sit or put it in your shirt pocket

unlike the Mega

. Even the ads for it never show it being put in the pocket, just in bags. The difference in screen size is just 0.1 inch (2.54 mm) which is almost negligible and for that small increase you get a phone that is 2.78 square inches bigger than the Mega plus onscreen buttons that take up to 10 mm of the screen. Also, on screen buttons can be a hassle specially when playing games because they are more prone to tapping.

Xperia Z

HTC One

Mega 6.3

Off screen buttons + bigger actual usable screen = better gaming experience :)

The price of the Xperia ZU is also questionable at the moment.

You can buy 2 Galaxy Mega 6.3s with over £110 left over with the pre-order price tag.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tubgirl:
So how's the Mega like in low light? If you're using it in the bedroom at night with lamps turned off? Is it as bad as the Note 10.1 where light bleeds from the edges and blacks are grey?

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baileyjr:
The pocket size is not really an issue for me. I wear loose bottoms most of the time at home/gym and don't even put my current phone (note 2) in my pocket while in the car or at work.

I admit the ultra certainly has its shortcomings, and without dismissing the mega 6.3 (I bought one for the mrs and she loves it), there really is noting else with real top end specs with the same real estate.

Give me a mega 6.3 with a 1080p screen and a snapgragon 800 and I'd be all over it. It just doesn't exist yet. While nobody can really say they really "need" all that extra horsepower I "want" it and thats enough for me to pay a premium. The device itself will only cost me £49 upfront on my current contract which is up for renewal.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
I'm using it right now in bed with the lights off and I can't see any light bleed on the screen. The blacks will not be as deep as AMOLED but it's very good. I actually like the fact that it's brighter than my original Note under sunlight and darker at night time which is great for the eyes.

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

I'm sure the Mega you wish for will be available next year. As for now, I'll enjoy the first gen Mega since I usually change my phone every year. Paying over double the price of the Mega for something which is not over double the advantage is not for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baileyjr:
^^^^^^^^^ Logically your right of course, but been as my contract is up and its a case of having the mega 6.3 free of charge or paying £49 upfront for the Ultra Im not going to sweat it.. If i had to double down in cold hard cash and buy outright it would be a completely different senario.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
How much do you pay each month and how long is the contact? Are they already offering the Xperia Z Ultra? What network is this?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tubgirl:
Thanks... so what you're saying is that at night in bed you can actually make the Mega less bright than the Note2? If that's the case then it's great.

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baileyjr:
Im with 3 mobile uk. I pay £36 a month for 2000min 5000texts and unlimited data including teathering. Its a 2 year contract. Its been announced they will carry it in Sept. Upfront prices have been rumoured but not confirmed yet. The plan price will stay the same it always does its just the upfront cost that will vary. The £49 upfront sounds about right.

At the end of my contract I usually cancel and take another contract out with the same carrier through quidco the cash back site and get about 100 cash back
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
Yes. I need an app to get the original Note's brightness down to acceptable levels at night which I don't need with the Mega.

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

I see. So the £49 up front is not official, being the most expensive phablet/smartphone at the moment I expect the upfront cost to be higher.

£36 x 24 months + £49 upfront = £913 is not bad if you use most of the included minutes, texts, and data.

I just use an Ovivo SIM which give me 150 minutes, 250 texts, and 500MB data every month for FREE so I just look at the actual cost of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baileyjr:
^^^^^^^^^ The upfront cost is going to be same as a 32gb or 64gb iphone 5.

The ebay link posted on the previous page is inflated. You can order for Expansys for £639 http://www.androidorigin.com/sony-x...se-date-set-to-september-13-priced-at-639-99/

By comparison the 32gig iphone 5 is £599 and the 64gb is £699. But yeah using that rational the xperia Z Ultra upfront cost should be about £150... Three charge £129 upfront for the 32gig iphone.

Theres not that much difference in their price plans...The basic ones (with devices) start about £30, and the unlimited one is £36. I have been known to download torrents and teather my laptop to the phone so its nice just not to have to worry about worrying out of date etc

How's the loudspeaker compared to the Note2? Let's say if you're showing a YouTube clip to someone... which one is louder?

I don't have a Note 2 to compare it with but I don't have to put the volume to max when showing youtube videos to others with my Mega 6.3.

speaker is the loudest I've heard on a Samsung Device. Louder than gs1 gs2 gs3 note and note 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] thering1975:
I agree its very loud compared to most
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kingofthebraves:
but what about headphone audio quality? The Note 2 is tops when it comes to that especially with the custom kernels, can anyone compare them?

Did you restart the phone? What browser were you using? I'm using the stock browser and flash works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tubgirl:
I'll take your word for it. Nut sure why it didn't work on the demo unit. I used stock browser and rebooted the phone. One strange thing is that I didn't find the "activate plug-in" in settings... only the "Activate JavaScript" setting.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
Here's a screenshot of the stock browser with the flash working (ads and embedded youtube video working)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tubgirl:
Thanks gx3k... I believe you :)

One question... is the option "activate plug-in" available in the stock browser settings?

Brgds...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
No. I think flash is preloaded in the stock browser so no need to install flash apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tubgirl:
That can't be right... so you're saying you get flash support out-of-the-box??
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
I am not sure but I think flash is natively supported in the stock browser since plug ins has been dropped.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tubgirl:
Hmm... wonder if it's really Flash you're seeing or of it's html5.

Can you see the video on this link? It works fine on my Note2 unless I uninstall Adobe Flash.

I think you're right. I guess the stock browser only supports html. I used Boat browser and saw the video on the link you provided.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kangburra:
Opera doesn't but then I am often grateful it doesn't play flash :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tubgirl:
I found a much better Flash test site... can you please check to see if this one works?

http://www.chemgapedia.de/vsengine/info/en/help/requirements/flash.html

On the Stock browser on my Note2 it looks like this...

If it doesn't work, don't worry. It SHOULD work with Dolphin Browser... this is how you do it.

1. Download Dolphin from Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser

2. Start Dolphin and go to Settings -> Web Content -> Change Flash Player from "Off" to "Always On"

Now you can test the test link again!

Brgds...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
I have used Dolphin before and I know it supports flash until they removed the 'always on option' after an update so I went to Boat browser. They brought that option back in Dolphin but I now prefer Boat browser if I need flash content, otherwise I use the stock browser.

The page works well with Boat browser by the way, I'm sure it will work with Dolphin but I won't test it as it's a bit bloated for an app.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bb2htc:
Today is my 3rd day with my white Galaxy Mega 6.3 and I'm in love with it's size already. I'm quite satisfied with over performance. I have yet to experience any lag or sluggishness. Display is great, even in sunlight. Speakers have a good loud volume. It fits into the hand nicely and makes my friend's S4 look like a midget :laugh:

I'd definitely recommend this device to everyone who can handle this size.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frogimus:
Long time lurker, first time poster.

Going from a Samsung Galaxy S2 to a Nokia Lumia 920 was the worst thing I could have ever done. Windows Phone 8 is terrible... I was waiting for a nice phone to replace it with and I saw the Mega 6.3 LTE. I only got my hands on one just last week and so far it has not disappointed once!

I was a bit skeptical about how the screen would look with the lowish PPI but it still looks fantastic. Everything feels so smooth with no lag and has all the features of the S4 at a lower cost.

Now to wait for some roms to come out :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] oldmanhp:
I just buy Mega 5.8, my first Samsung ever. It work well, i love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tubgirl:
The stock browser is not so awesome.

1. No Flash support

2. No Google bookmarks

3. No quick controls

So on the Mega I'd say it's necessary to use a 3rd party browser.

Opera Mobile (stick with classic) for me and Firefox if I must have flash video.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] flu13:
Sometimes, it's amazingly accurate. I'll run exactly 3 miles and it tells me I've gone 3 miles. Another day, I'll run 4 miles and it says I've gone 400 steps. I wonder if it has to do with how it's positioned on the body or something like that?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lightiv:
Hi All and thanks for the responses.

I did recently recalibrate the gyroscope and it did not help. I usually hold my phone in my hand while running. Is that a bad thing to do? What is the best position?

I downloaded Accupedio (?) and it was far more accurate than S-Health.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] flu13:
I wear my phone in an armband on my bicep, and as I said, that's not terribly accurate. This morning, I ran 3 miles and it currently says that I've gone 317 steps, most of which were probably between my car and my desk. I'm going to guess that it works a lot better in my pants pocket than it does on my arm.

Of course, I don't really care about the accuracy of S-Health. If I wanted to accurately track my runs, I would use MapMyRun. If I was concerned with tracking steps, I'd get something like a Fitbit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lightiv:
I've given up on S Health. I have it updated and yesterday had the phone in my back pocket on the treadmill and it was still way off. I had Accupedo running also and it was very close to what the treadmill said.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Awizzle:
So I just wanted to see how normal this is, didn't see anybody else really mention anything about this. But my phone only really seems to want to use the 1566 MHz frequency range. It almost never uses any other frequency. Any body ever really notice this or is it not really that big of a deal?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/moqxq1agsriin54/2013-07-14 14.38.13.png

Edit: And for what its worth, I'm stock rooted. Left the governor on ondemand, had the I/O scheduler set to deadline for a while but set it back to CFQ with no changes(as expected). And my max frequency is set to 1890MHz, so it should go all the way up there, but there is almost no usage of those other frequencies, especially the higher ones which was weird since there was a while when I was trying to load it up to get to the higher frequencies.

I'm new to android, so my answer may not worth be much.. but what i've noticed in between switching roms and kernels and cpu apps, clean /dirty/whatever.. is that if you have been messing with cpu settings or voltages in any way then they will always have a small possibility of sticking even after you've deactivated or changed them back to default. the only way to get rid of these little bugs, at least for me, was to restore a stock/rooted/cwm nandroid backup or full wipe and full format under Mounts and Storage in recovery.. then flash back to the same rom i'm currently using.

basically.. the cpu can stick and you may need to reformat the system. seems to bethe case to me anyways.. hope it helps. if you can find a way to clear this issue without wiping data, please post the fix.

I don't personally use it, but I think that's how it still works. Could be wrong though.

there is a way to get rid of that, you need to install the xposed installer along with MaDoCo toolkit. there is a video on you tube on how to do it by wwjoshdew. cant miss it. good luck. I used it with stock roms, but when i installed an aosp rom (IllusionRom) it wont load and says something about the device not initiating or something. anyway good luck
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
So far as I'm aware, it'll show up on a GSM device as well (anything where the system detects that the bootloader/secure element can be compromised). As above poster said though, it's simple enough to hide if you use the MoDaCo toolkit.

Depends on which recovery you have installed -- the most often recommended sequence seems to be "wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, reinstall". Obviously, you may need to remove some apps' data folders from /sdcard by hand.

The opinions are divided as far as wiping the caches is concerned -- some do, some don't. ;)

In TWRP select 'Wipe > Advanced' and then select everything except the external microSD. That'll give you a nice and clean installation.

Just make sure you have the Rom you want to flash afterwards on that microSD, not on the internal where it may get wiped ;)
