[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gumby59:
In the past few months, the battery on my (2012) Nexus 7 has been completely unreliable. It charges very slowly (roughly 2-5% per hour), and continues to discharge if used while plugged in. In general if left overnight it will charge to a full 100%, but last night it lost 3% from where it had been. Using Battery Monitor, I saw a recurring pattern in the current drawn by the device while plugged in. One or two times an hour, it would spike downward to between -700 and -1000 mA, before returning to a positive charging state. Looking at Battery monitor after a period of light use (chrome, pandora, facebook), the pattern remained consistent. Does anyone have any thoughts on what might cause such a periodic heavy power draw? Thanks very much!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Hi guys,I am having issues with my SD card,my Sp which is about 3-4 months old I have started to have problem with the SD card.

I keep getting SD card error/card removed unexpectedly infact it got so bad I brought a new SD card mid august 2013 and this is now giving me the same error.

Has/have anybody else got/getting similar issue.

The cards I use are sandisk ultimate/extreme class 10 32 gig.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raziel123:
Try doing a Full format, and see if it still gives the same errors,

failing that check with a SD card reader on a PC, if it gives the same errors,

those cards should be with a Lifetime warranty if I am not mistaken?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkissmae:
dude, just a question. is your SD card still usable after the message popped up? cause i experienced once the same issue and i ended up buying a new SD card because my SD card becomes corrupted. by the way, i am using kingston 32gb class 4. today i have my new SD card and i'm afraid that i will face the same issue again after reading your complaint.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
My original is only useable when connected to PC via card reader even after a format it is still not reconized by the phone.

My new Card is now behaving and since writing this topic it has resumed and working OK.

Not sure what caused the prob to start with but now I stuck with a card that I feel will fail at any time so I can't transfer data/apps etc in case it fails and have to go through the hassle of back up to PC then format then re transfer to card.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkissmae:
so in short, your SD card is not corrupted since it can be read by your computer?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Yes but my Sp and my arc and my old x10 will not read the old SD card.

Edit in the last half hour the new SD card had again stopped being recognised and getting SD card removed unexpectedly error......aaagggghhhhh
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
Buy one class 10 and forget the problems. In Ebay only for 20 euros :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Bro read my op you see I am using have class 10 card........I have used sandisk so not a cheap quality.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fathur.midhian:
I also experienced the same thing, since I use a sandisk class 10 3 months ago I was having this problem,

I've done a variety of ways to fix it but just the same, I have not tried it with the sd card to another,

so I do not know the cause masalh this from sd card or from my hp

sorry for my bed english
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
When ever I put a faulty in an other device it is not recognised.

PC will read it OK backed up then have formatted so many times.

it works OK for maybe 3-5 days then get errors.

The new card I got in august 13 plays up every so often.

An old sandisk class 4 16gig (from x10) seems to be OK, if this goes then I know it is Sp as this card has been working fine in x10
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin>Hood:
My SP has the same problem, Sandisk Ultra, 64GB. The SD card is just fine.

I'm really wondering if it is a hardware or a software problem. The SDcard is kind of loose in its place, maybe its the build of the phone or something. Guess I will have to send it back to repairs again then.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hernangb05:
Hi, Is it worth it to change stable 10.1 for this RC2, I never really had CM, but now I'm trying to decide between these two.

Does anyone know about any issues I should know. Thanks
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ectoplasma22:
Basicly this update should ne better. I'm using it and i didn't find any bugs at all son you can go :thumbup::D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] king123321:
tried it too probably the stablest rom I've ever tried havnt found any bug yet
[LG Optimus 4X HD] GalaxyVolvoZ:
Whats new ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ectoplasma22:
Huuumm... I didn't find anything new, the ROM is just smooth and completely stable. There are absolutely no bugs (as far as I tried)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Belaki:
What Gapps u use guys with this Rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jamolah:
This just began happening. When I open Google+ and I choose the 'following' drop down list box I get a foreclose. I haven't installed anything or done anything to my phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmgrpt:
Hello all and congrats for the excelent forum.

A friend of mind recommended this forum to me and i´m addicted to it.

My problem with my Htc one and Sense 5 is the blinkfeed it does not update with my current rom 2.1.0 from Venom. Its a great rom very stable and very fast of course the phone helps :D but the problem is that the blinkfeed didnt update.

Anyone got this issue too?

Thanks and regards for everyone
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Hi and welcome to the forums!

I strongly suggest to ask this question in the ROM's thread, since the chances are higher to get an answer much quicker - because it looks like ROM related.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_59:
Have you checked from blinkfeed screen: settings can be auto refresh on wi fi only or WiFi and mobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DrexelDragon:
Any word on when we'll be able to pre-order? I already signed up on the info/promotion page but what about actual pre-orders?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lm that guy:
I'm thinking some time after the contest is over. The contest ends on 9/15 but the winners aren't announced until 9/18. So lets say you won but you won't know until 9/18 and you placed a pre-order on or after 9/15( if it was open ). Then you would be stuck with 2 phones and that doesn't make sense because then you will want to cancel your pre-order if you won. So I'm thinking after this whole contest thing blows over on 9/18 is when pre-orders open. But its anyone's guess lol

edit: After re-reading the email they send you, it says "If you are one of five lucky winners, we'll notify you

by

9/18/13." So I think sometime after 9/15 definitely.

Tmobile note 3 passes thru the fcc... http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/09/11/samsung-galaxy-note-3-release-date-clearing-final-hurdles/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lm that guy:
Since no one posts here in 4 days, I see us T-Mobile users are just patiently waiting for T-Mobile to open up pre-orders. :p I'm hoping pre-orders will open tomorrow! :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Neo3D:
I'm thinking about using the Note 3 with Tmobile's $30/mo 5gb LTE plan. It only has 100min but I'm thinking about buying a VOIP app from Google Play. Anyone else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lm that guy:
I'll be using that same plan with my note 3. I found this thread to be really useful. It covers the T-Mobile $30 plan and VOIP setup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Neo3D:
Is that like a Ooma?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
Sept 18th Pre orders start :) http://bit.ly/1eG7thq
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thinkjoey:
I am debating as to if I want to pre-order or just go to the store on release day to get it.

Does anyone know what time they usually ship? Will probably have it shipped to my work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
I believe as long as there's no Backorder you should have it on the 2nd
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thinkjoey:
I doubt there will be a backorder for this phone...but I was wondering what time of the day it would come. During the day/night etc.

That would determine where I have it shipped to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] staryoshi:
That depends on the delivery company (UPS, FedEx, etc) and your (highly specific) location. Those variables are out of our hands - The only way you could hope to make a guess is if you knew which company T-Mobile is using.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
Whenever I get a package from t mobile it's always FedEx. And I always get it the next day:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thinkjoey:
Thank you. That is what I plan on doing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sic_lic1o1:
Are they going to have both black and white in store on the release day? I know the note 2 was only available in titanium in store in my area. The white, we had to order on the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] knite75:
I'm on prepaid. Anyone know if I can just buy the phone out right pay in full?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jocelyn:
Of course you can :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] knite75:
I asked because they want the case for the S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jocelyn:
I guess you're right, as I don't see it available on their prepaid website. I'd either buy it in store or even better, buy the T-Mobile version from Negri Electronics so you don't have to pay sales tax.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lm that guy:
correct me if im wrong, but Negri doesn't offer Warranty for the phone outright. You have to purchase an additional $99 or $129 plan

Since I'm going prepaid, I'm just going to visit a T-mobile store and pay full price, rather than pre-ordering for the online store. It's better that way because you aren't forced into a credit check and a plan (if your a new customer like me) when you only want the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] boshindo:
I just got off the phone with Tmobile and the rep confirmed that the GN3 will be region locked to the US. Not sure how many care but for me this is a deal breaker. It means travel outside the US will cost you Tmo international usage rates instead of cost for a local SIM card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stang9779:
Wouldn't unlocking and rooting resolve this issue?

I was running a rooted and unlocked Verizon GN2 on T mobile at first. The only issue I had was that some of the frequencies that was needed wasn't built into the phone. The Internet was a little bet slower.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Prod1702:
Its a different department. So i have no clue sorry. My best guess would be that if you ordered in time and you are not back ordered it should go out by Oct 2nd, All Pre Order is make sure you are on a list to get the phone. It doesn't mean the phone will ship early or by the date. It just means you will get one.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

Most from my understanding ship from Huston, TX.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] staryoshi:
I'm going to take the nonchalant approach. It'll get here when it gets here :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Prod1702:
The orders are at two different times. Most of the time the stores get the phones up to a week before we can sell them so we can setup the demo and the employee knows how to use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aka757:
My preorder is backordered, but I figured that everyone's was also...

Anyway, I need this phone before going out of town on 10/6, so if it does end up being shipped from Texas that would be perfect for me, since I'm in the Houston area.

Thanks for the info!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
Mine is back ordered also. i ordered around 6am eastern time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agent4678:
My account was just charged for the phone. No shipping notice yet. It would be great to have it by tomorrow, but I am not holding my breath.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
what day and time did you order?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agent4678:
I placed the order on the 18th at 8:55am. I paid for overnight shipping and my delivery date still says the 24th.

Excuse the quick MSPaint.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] boshindo:
As it stands now sim unlocking would only allow usage with another US carrier. The thread in the general section has posts on a xml file that specifies the lockout for different regions. Someone is talking about getting root and overwriting it.

But the fact remains that Samsung has instituted an anti consumer policy with new phones effectively increasing its cost of ownership for anyone who plans to travel outside the US and use a local sim card. Whether or not rooting yields results, I don't think Samsung is a company worthy of my business.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stang9779:
I bet it's the US cellular carriers not the manufacturer. The cellular companies make the profit off of this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stepinmyworld:
well good to know that you were charged.. they said they wont charge unless it's shipping out to you. I want them to take my money too lol.. i ordered around 530pm est on the 18th.. my delivery date days the 26th... well today is the day.. hopefully some action happens :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
Since everyone is from tmobile i thought this might be wanted http://www.hotfile.com/dl/247438823/4bf8172/N900TUVUBMI7_N900TTMBBMI7_TMB.zip.html Stock odin flashable from sammobile

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Diablohtr:
I have been charged $10.85. That's a very odd amount... Doesn't even cover the overnight shipping.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mircury:
I think this is only for the 900 and 9005 models. No one in the US has the carrier versions of the phone yet or at least they aren't talking here on xda. The way I read the samsung response to this is that the region locking is on the phones sold directly to consumers like the 900 and 9005 and not the ones sold via retail (carriers). They already have a carrier lock that can be unlocked the normal way. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AssassinsLament:
I checked this morning and there wasn't a charge yet, but after I read your comment, I checked and sure enough... $264 has been charged by T-Mobile! This probably means they will ship soon, I am sure we will get it by at least the 2nd.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aka757:
Those that have been charged, are you sure it's not an authorizing or pending charge on your card?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AssassinsLament:
Like I said, there wasn't a charge this morning. So it's a new pending charge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mingkee:
Currently I am not in hurry to get Note 3 at this moment, but I'm gonna pay off my Note 2 and wait for any deals to get Note 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agent4678:
Same here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] boshindo:
After I got wind of this I called Tmobile directly. The rep didn't follow me at first and recited the general 40 day wait for sim locks. I asked her to specifically confirm the region lock news and after a brief hold she confirmed that the device would only be usable with US sim cards.

My current Note I isn't very sexy anymore but it works when I travel. I'll hold onto it until I can find a replacement that does what I need it to do without shafting me for intl roaming rates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vicegrips:
I got a brand new $10.XX charge on my account today - not sure if this is what everyone else got. I have chose to pay for the N3 outright vs payment plans so this must just be a pre-auth charge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noc007:
If the region locking is a deal breaker and you're willing to be patient, I'd imaging that the community will find a way to get rid of this restriction in some capacity or another.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Diablohtr:
I got a $10.85 charge, but I am doing the monthly payments.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stang9779:
For those who have a charge/pending on your cards when did you pre order? I pre ordred on 9-18 at 10:30am MST. I don't have any thing on my credit card, never did.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AssassinsLament:
Order Date: 09/18/2013 at 09:10 AM CST

I had a $0.01 authorization/check from T-Mobile last week that expired a few days ago. This morning (been checking every morning) I checked and there weren't any charges, I checked again after agent4678 said he was charged, so this is new charge and it's for the right amount. I'd imagine, people will start seeing their cards charged soon because if we're to get it around the 2nd, they would start shipping tomorrow or Monday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noc007:
The pertinent piece of information is if you have been charged today, did you select overnight shipping and what time you ordered with timezone (EDT, CDT, MDT, or PDT) are you in? So far the ones that I've read here and another forum that have been charged all selected overnight shipping. I haven't seen anyone like myself that selected ground shipping getting charged yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nikhilnagaraj24:
True Story!

I ordered it at 3AM CST on 18th but no sign of T-Mobile wanting to take my money yet............
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stang9779:
Good point, I thought I selected overnight however it shows ground.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AssassinsLament:
I didn't upgrade shipping, so yes, I have the standard ground shipping.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noc007:
Then there's a good chance I'll get charged today as well. Not charged yet, but my F5 key it taking a beating. All I can think is "shut up and take my money!"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lazyboy0172:
new customer, standard shipping, black note, billed today. never got backorder notification, said 9/24 originally (still does I guess) and no updates on online order status. Talked to tmo today before it charged, was told shipping on 10/2. If I don't get tracking by tomorrow afternoon I'm going to call tmo, refuse the cc charge on my cc website, and cancel the preorder. I'm still deciding between sprint and tmo on who I go with and if it ships the same day I can pick it up in store and I chose standard shipping, I see no reason to give them my money early.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
T mobile took the money out of my account. :) Order Date: 09/18/2013 at 630am eastern ground shipping :crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agent4678:
I am down here in SoCal, so PST. I did pay for overnight shipping. Also, as of now, I have not received any further updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stepinmyworld:
I checked just now and T-Mobile finally charged my account :)

T-MOBILE.COM*UPGRADE	Telecommunication Services	-$263.86

Ordered 9/18/13 - first day of pre-order -

to me that's good news! it's coming!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] raypou:
Also got a pending charge of $10.xx.

I ordered the 18th at about 8:30AM PST, overnight shipping. I think the amount of the pre-auth is about the price of the SIM card + tax (I'm a new customer). That could be why some people got charged full vs only $10
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kissmegoodbye:
If i read it right, seems like as long as you activate the phone in its region, you will be able to unlock it to use elsewhere.

http://m.androidauthority.com/samsung-note-3-region-lock-statement-277346/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Diablohtr:
Makes sense. I ordered on the 18th at about 730AM PST with overnight as a new customer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zRalphz:
Order Up!!

Deez, we must have ordered our phones at the same minute! I ordered mine 09/18/13 at 530am Central ground shipping. Just checked and cash is taken out of my Wells Fargo checking! I gotta take that as good news, or at least hopeful news....:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jollyjones:
I haven't been charged yet, but I'm pretty sure my order status changed from backordered to order placed. I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure!! I am hopeful that tomorrow I will be charged!!! woot!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
I fixed the. Download link and added a mediafire link... It's much quicker:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bp328i:
Damn all of you that have already been charge!!! I just checked and my account has not been charged yet!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hagalah:
I placed the order 9/18 12:10am, only been charged once for $0.01 last week. This week, my account didn't show anything. Sometime, it's because of credit card updating system, My paypal credit card always shows the transaction 3-4 days after.

So don't worry about that. But after knowing about the Regional lock on GN3, I am considering cancel my preorder now.....,maybe switch back to Sony ZU, just can't image who is so silly to think the regional lock idea.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nikhilnagaraj24:
I know, but I don't know??? :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jollyjones:
Yeah I know. I am going crazy to get this phone! :cyclops:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bp328i:
I would not cancel just yet. There was a post on here somewhere that state the regional lock only applies if you did not activate the phone in the region it was originally designed for. Once you active the phone in the region it was originally designed for then you can use SIM cards from any other region as well. At least that's my take on it.

They were saying it was being done because people were buying previous models in cheaper markets and then selling them in a higher price market. So now the phone has to be activated in the market it was intended for.

Edit: I found the link...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] decalex:
Slightly off topic.. and having been a Sprint customer for years, I'd say definitely don't go with sprint. I've been on T-Mo for a while now. It depends on your area, but if you've got LTE, your speeds will be way better. You'll probably save a lot too. I don't get commission for this ;)

Eagerly waiting for people to receive confirmations-- also have a few people in store who should let me know when they're ready to sell.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aka757:
My card was also charged at 4:00 PM, full amount (around 265).

Ordered around noon Central time on 9/18, ground shipping.

I'm hoping they ship by Monday at the latest.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] smaisonville:
My account was charged yesterday September 26. My preorder was September 18th 5:00pm eastern.

I just received my Adata 64gb SDcard from newegg for $48, they had special offers for people on there mailing list.

Yippee here it comes

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stang9779:
No charge yet. It seems like everyone around the time I ordered has been charged.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noc007:
I did get an Auth on my card yesterday, but they haven't settled the transaction and debited from my account yet. No change on my order status, e-mail, or notification from UPS yet. Hopefully it'll get shipped today out of their distribution center that's in the same state and it get delivered on Monday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stang9779:
When did you order and what type of shipping?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noc007:
18th 9:50am ET with Ground shipping.

Looks like they're doing FIFO and shipping type has no bearing. We'll see. Really hoping it goes out today from a distribution center near by.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stang9779:
I guess what's getting me worried is that there's people that said they ordered around the time I ordered and they have been charged.

I just checked and I received an email confirmation at 10:25am MSTon 9-18. Which was emailed right after i ordered. Still no credit card charge.
