[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vintage144:
LG g2 , looks really good note 3 and mega isn't out of the question , my bar has been set though , 5 inches or bigger , I am 6'8" got big hands so it works well with me plus ny vision isn't what it used to be , ill be checking on all the over 5's no looking back , of course having Jamie around is a big plus !

I should also say I don't hold onto a stock rom very long so bloat and company junk doesn't scare me off
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
Ha I'm no where near as tall as you but I prefer the 5 inch plus devices. But considering you don't keep a stock ROM long, I would look into a phone that will have very active development. Nothing worse than getting a device only to find little to no devs supporting it. If it's one thing about Sammy devices, there's usually a bunch of devs around to support them.

Just got an HTC one. Gonna still use my note for fun though cause I need a pc to unlock the bootloader on the one and I'm fresh out of computer right now lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Logic717:
I'm actually quite surprised that more folks are not considering the One Max for the next phone. My wife has the One and its battery life is really solid. With the one max rumored to have a 3300mah battery that's plenty of juice. The only issue for me is the SD card which I think I'm coming to terms with as a nice to have as opposed to a necessity.

Any thoughts as to what the dev community will be like for it? This trend on locked bootloaders is also getting old.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] smokinmoses:
I would have waited but my note was on it's deathbed lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vintage144:
Trends like the locked bootloader means that android is getting like apple/windows , I really dont want to see that , it just means that Ubunto and firefox better prove they have a better gig , although even the windows phone can be cracked (i had a custom rom on my Focus ) , but locking **** down from the gate is disturbing! I can understand from the carriers point of view , but if you buy it outright it should be unlocked!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Logic717:
At least we'll still have options like nexus but the problem there is choice which is the big draw for me to Android among other things. I do hope there are more unlocked bootloader options but I can also understand it from a manufacturer perspective. No question the future is hazy for development.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] smokinmoses:
I got the one bc I can still get on htc dev and unlock the bootloader. Guess it's the last one that you can do that to on AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
My understanding is that locking the boot loaders is a carrier thing. They just love clogging up our phones with all sorts of crapware that we'll never use and or they charge extra to use. I think a lot of us would agree that stock ROM's are aggravating. :laugh:

ive been the forum of Optomus G pro and that phone really rocks , sadly theres like no support for the phone , oh theres some devs and they working hard to make it happen ,but LG hasnt made it easy , locked BL is a main problem over there , they cm10 going not sure how , but the phone specs are rock solid . You dont hear this often on Developers forum "the stock rom is smooth as silk" , theres a few minor gripes , I suppose , me if I cant go with custom rom (thats my gripe) its probably not gonna be worth it , and since this phone is a note 2 size , it could have competed pretty good considering alot of the people over there had note 2's , but LG doesnt have the support that samsung delivers . What worries me is the fact that the G2 is on its way and if LG wont help out on the pro , the G2 wont have any help either! With all that said however , the G PRO , is relatively cheap at around $300 new on ebay , $300 for a note 2 is one with cracks and scratches!

I can imagine cheating on standardized tests in the future will be a big problem lol. Kudos Samsung. You've done well. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Logic717:
They really stepped up personalization but the bloat is getting worst with each iteration.

Slick device pair for sure but not sure it's for me.

I really like the note 10.1 though. Just need to see the resolution on the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
Understandable, but for an average consumer and not a tech junky like us at XDA, I don't think they will even know of the many apps included that work to run the phone system. Plus, with 3 gb of ram, and the processing power it didn't seem to slow phone performance. I'm sure a lot of the apps are needed for the features. And whichever ones I won't use will be deleted for sure once rooted.

I think the note 10.1 was 2560x1600. I missed that part.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Logic717:
Yeah, I think you're right about the Note 10.1 resolution. And while I agree that most users will never use the Note 3 to its maximum capacity, there was a time when we thought the Note 1 would never get 'bogged' down and look at it now with JB and all the bloat installed there? Even de-bloated, and just with TW apps, it's still bogged down. I get what you're saying being that the Note 1 is almost 2 years old.

I'm not a huge s-pen user so I think we're just different demographics of user, and that's ok :). The one thing that's obvious is Samsung is really trying to change the appearance of their devices to give it that premium feel and that much is undeniable. It is pretty much a larger S4, but the optimizations they've included for accessories is really what makes this a winner. If they can integrate some sort of LCD cover like the Alcatel accessories, that would be a real win.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Logic717:
I just thought about something else... that Samsung KNOX feature is telling me they are really trying like hell to lock down the Note 3. What's your thought on that as you mentioned rooting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dparrothead1:
You can bet your butt that ATT is going to lock it....anyone wanting the 3, probably should get the Intl model. But then you give up Lte.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
That's one thing that I have to look into. I'm curious to see everything it's about. I don't know enough about it at the moment to make form a serious opinion on it, but from the looks of it though, a lot of it's features I'm sure can be found in apps floating around XDA and the google play store. Such as VPN, application security, etc. I think Samsung Knox will be good for businesses who may use the note 3 as a company phone, where there's a feature that switches modes which will allow I guess a separation between work and personal data at the press of a button. But if Knox turns out to be something more of a burden that inhibits the phone in anyway, than that will be problematic

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

Yeah probably most of the U.S. carriers are going to lock it, but I'm sure there will be ways to unlock them. And I don't think you will lose LTE at all. The note 3 is said to run on all bands, at least the snapdragon 800 version, so if you buy from a 3rd party source, you won't have to deal with carrier bloat or restrictions, and you should be able to pop that in that AT&T SIM, add an APN in, and be good to go :good:

All of this at the cost of paying for the phone full price up front. I guess that's good if your not into being locked into another 2 year contract
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vintage144:
As much as im curious about the newer phones , Im usually a day late and dollar short when it comes purchasing new devices , besides I like to buy them outright , I like being "controlled" by the carrier , one reason why I cant stand apple products ,i want to be to do what i want I bought the dame thing , that being said , when the new devices come out with rediculous prices , the Note 2 and the LG O PRO , prices will drop significantly! Maybe even the s4 , the 3 is out for me , im searching for early 2013 phones ! Usually have great specs anyway and I dont use nearly half the crap on them anyway, no video , rare I lay games , but I do like testing stuff

It's because you deleted Play Movies. You need to unbrick and install a modified kernel such as Wind Kernel.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scpy0027:
OK. Total noob. Followed some of threads on here to a point but seem to be foiled at every turn.

My prob in a nutshell. S5830i kept on running out of internal memory (even though I didn't add any more apps to it - I deleted some). In the end it ground to a halt. My solution was to do a factory reset. It all came back fine apart from no mobile network connectivity, no IMEI and a phone number neither me or Three mobile have seen before. Samsung can't find my account so Keis isn't helping either.

Searched around on this forum. Downloaded the latest firmware. Downloaded clockwork recovery. Paid for the ODIN app. Rooted phone OK. Then Odin didn't recognise the device.

All I want to do is upgrade the f~**ing firmware. Any ideas before I just buy another phone? :(

The good news is your bootloader is intact. I would suggest flashing with original rom to get a working system then you can try out the other roms.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] PureNitrogen:
Do I have to unlock the bootloader in order to use a different SIM card on the phone? I'm with WIND Canada. If I flash to Jelly Bean, will it still be wind branded? If so, what is the easiest way to remove or get around this network lock.

I've been reading around on the forums but none of the threads explicitly say whether or not unlocking the bootloader unlocks the device from the network.

You have p880g afaik, cant unlock bootloader on it as you dont have jb. Correct me if I'm wrong

You are correct. Is it possible for me to install a stock jelly bean firmware and unlock the bootloader? Or is it impossible to flash the firmware without unlocking?

you cant install p880 firmware on p880g unfortunately, it's been reported, so you're stuck with 10c/10f ics and locked bootloader :(

Is there any way to get an unlock code, or a reliable website? WIND won't provide an unlock code until you've had service for 6 months, and I don't feel like waiting 3 months to switch providers.

none that i know of, but there are several webistes that supposedly offer unlock codes for almost all mobiles for some fee. i'm not sure if it's a scam or not, since i've never had any experience with it.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Hi Guys,

Just recently got my shiny new S4 in arctic blue great, I know a bit about rooting and installing custom roms as I've done it to a fair few phones in the past but with my S3 I know there were a few issues with the bug and the older phones dying also with the samsungs there is the flash counter and modified issue so here's my question/s.

Currently what is the easiest method of rooting and installing philz recovery, I'm looking at installing the omega or foxhound rom/s.

Once done will this increase my flash counter and also place my phone in modified?, if so can I set this back after doing the above, so if I do have a problem its just basically installing a stock rom again.

Thanks guys

BTW I did first purchase the black mist and noticed that it had a heating problem I even sent it back to samsung but they said that it was fine, then sold and bought the blue version this is exactly the same if not worse and on antutu stability test the phone went upto almost 40 degrees, is this normal?.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossFixxed:
Do you have the I9500? That has an issue with overheating. However 40 degrees is not an unreasonable for a processor / GPU being pushed hard. It may seem hot, and it's not great for the battery but it is not out of any reasonable bounds. Mine is I9505 and playing vice city etc. it gets damn warm!

Flash counter can be countered with Triangle Away.

Easiest: just search.

Actually all of your questions are answered several times on here, use the search function!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Hi,

I have the UK i9505 version, had it in black mist thought there was an overheating problem, also had battery drain and it seemed laggy, so I sent off to Samsung, they basically said it was fine and the S4 gets warm from time to time which is normal. I ended up selling it and buying an Arctic Blue i9505 but it basically is the same. I cant believe a flagship phone with a 2gb ram and quadcore is laggy at times and I would honestly say slower than some dualcore phones i've had.

I love the S4's screen the camera is good quality but again takes an age to open and shoot, hence I'm hoping that a custom rom may fix a lot of these problems?.

I've had S3 & S4, HTC one and Iphone 5, all have their good and bad points shame there isnt a phone out there with, S4's camera quality (iphones speed), Iphone's speed and fluidity UI, HTC's speakers and style (superb) and S4's screen with iphones brightness, and S4's removable back with SD slot.

Someone please bring out :).

With triangle away, if I root and install a recovery does this increase the flash counter and change the phone to modified?.

I will use search I always do just find asking the question easier, things like one click rooting and recovery are sometimes hard to find and you end up rooting manually and installing recovery etc when there are newer and easier tools out.

Thanks

Mav
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossFixxed:
The FAQ at the top has root instructions, probably the easiest way to do it. The i9505 shouldn't overheat, but defects do happen.

What exactly is slow, I've found this blazingly fast compared to my nexus 4 and comparable to HTC one? iOS is optimised and always looks and feels smoother to me.

A few things I found speeded things up:

1) Turn off the unlock animation. That is just laggy.

2) Enable developer options and change all windows animations to 0.5. Feels snappier to me.

3) Do not use task killers at all.

4) Factory reset after update

5) Turn off smart stay etc if not in use, same for multi window.

Triangle away should set you back on the counter and there is a post on how to unroot and return to 'original' status. I just don't have the link to hand (in work and BUSY!)

Best of luck!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Thanks Ross,

Well i've had 2 now both from phones4u new and its definitely hot at times both got warm with things like using camera and youtube, running videos etc. Surely I cant be unlucky enough to have had 2 defective units?.

I've also had the nexus 4 and that was fluid compared to this, i've tried using nova launcher but still not smooth, I don't use any samsung gimmicks and have heard about the animation will try that now, my wifes GS3 is smoother in my opinion.

I really didnt want to root and custom flash tbh just because if it is faulty and was to die on me and don't want to have the problem with possibly not being able to reset counter, hence the reason for asking peps out there to make double sure that its pretty easy to do. Samsung were absolutely crap when I contacted them about my first black mist S4, I used it on GPS satnav for 3 hours to get to airport for hols I had it charging in car also at the end it was boiling, as such the metal surround slightly moved and the phone had gaps on the side Samsung said this was fine and the heating was fine!!, the phone was only 5 weeks old, and it even had intermittent restarting problems and battery drain which I mentioned I couldnt believe their CS.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossFixxed:
I think it may be 'technically' ok, but if you are getting a poor user experience you are completely right to return it. I do find it very warm but not overly so compared to other devices.

Where are you getting the slowdown / lag on the device? It's possible I'm just accustomed to it, but after the last update I found things a lot better. (I'm in Ireland so I'd say were using the same device, mine's black too!) There's a difference between lag/choppy frame rate/ slow down and it's not clear where your issue is. I've seen a lot of mention of lag but compared to my other devices I find this pretty nippy. Perception of it is what it comes down to. Some iPhones are slower but appear far faster due to smooth animations etc. The 0.5x did help me and it 'feels' faster loading apps etc. I do agree the HTC One feels smoother and more fluid, that seems to be down to Sense 5 more than anything, rather than actual loading times in milliseconds as it were.

I found nove VERY slow upon boot up but it 'settled' after a few minutes running.
