[Galaxy Note 3 General] xaelith:
From what I know (which may be very little), our options for receiving an unlocked device are fairly limited:

- Travel outside the country and buy the unlocked version, where available.

- Order one online and have it imported.

- Hope someone who bought the unlocked version decides the device isn't for them or somehow has one (or more) they don't need, and sells it on sites like ebay or craigslist.

All of these options tend to be more expensive (at least at first) than buying a locked phone on-contract with one of the four main available carriers, and usually require more patience than the average American has. ;) :p

[Galaxy Note 3 General] betoNL:
Hmmm, are you sure?

As I said, I don't live in the U.S., but I just read about this place: http://negrielectronics.com/phones/android-mobile-c-67.html

Negrieletronics, which is highly recommended

.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xaelith:
Hmm...never heard of them, I'll have to check them out. As I said, there may be options I'm unaware of, so I don't mind being wrong. :)

As for myself, I usually buy on-contract because it allows me to buy the phone I want at a price I can afford, and (depending on carrier and upgrade eligibility) when my own patience is short. ;) Plus, I don't do much travelling, so a phone being unlocked/unlockable isn't a main selling point for me.

More on topic, I'm glad to see that Samsung will be providing extra tips for the S-pen. Accident-prone as I am sometimes, it would be really disappointing to have my new Toy 3...err, Note 3...only to break or lose the tip and have the S-pen become unusable. If the Sprint US version comes with the same items shown, I'll be very happy.

Lastly, I have a question about the charger. Is the charger white to match the phone, or for some other reason (such as to mark it as a high-amperage charger)?

Can you talk through the headphones as well?

Yes,,,it got a mic, a button to answer/make calls (voice) and volume buttons too

[Galaxy Note 3 General] thinkjoey:
I figured it would, but had to ask since I have not seen it on the box list before.

I really like how it has extra dibs for the pen. I was thinking to myself where and how much they would be. Super excited for next month. A month of presents for myself.

Sorry I wasn't talking about the gsmarena video... Of you look at 40 seconds they pull them out of the box look at them and stove the nibs and tool back in the box... Sorry for the confusion.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RaptorMD:
I wasn't talking about the price point of ordering the phone, I was talking about Verizon as a company being CHEAP as in they don't give us the same included accessories as every other carrier does yet they charge the same prices as every other carrier. They are bigger, they sell more they have more subs yet we get screwed.

I almost spit my coffee out while watching this, he does review phones right, he does know what he is looking at (guess not) if he calls the cable "weird". Time to hire a real reviewer.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

Well my error, my GS3 did not come with them, and I was incorrect on the GS4 since I didn't notice them in the box and returned it in 10 days to get the GN3. I did have the GN2 which did not so I have had 2 phones without them and one with (that I didn't notice). Honestly I could careless if they did or didn't I don't use them due to very expensive hearing aids that I would rather not risk losing.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

I just checked the Verizon site for the GN2 and GN3 and here is what's in the box for us.

Samsung Galaxy Note® 3 Handset

Included in the box:

Standard Battery

DTA Head/USB Cable

S Pen™

S Pen Accessory (Tweezer & Tip)

Radio Frequency Brochure

Quick Reference Guide

Product Safety & Warranty Brochure

Global Lit Brochure

Galaxy Note 2 Handset

Included in the box:

S Pen™

Wall/USB Charger

Quick Reference Guide

Standard Lithium Ion Battery

Please note the bold item, it looks like we get 1 TIP, not a package of them, but 1. Again how cheap can they get? Time will tell and we get our phones if we got more than 1 in the box, I certainly hope so.

As Canvas HD has only one power button to lock or unlock screen,.. is there any other method to unlock screen inorder to avoid damage to power button,. i know with screen lock app and widget we can manage to lock how about unlocking? if has some idea or application please do share

Thank you
[Micromax A116] Hunter008:
Use screen wake up app from Google play and enjoy locking unlocking like s4 using proximity sensor.
[Micromax A116] drakester20:
Or u can use tap tap app.

If my posts helped, don't mind hitting the THANKS button. :D:cool:
[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
that's a very remote possibility :p i don't think the power button would get damaged that easily. if it really bothers you, you could use a hard case for your phone to protect it from damages. However if that doesn't convince you, then, i'll let you know how to unlock without the power button.

Notice that your phone has sensors on the front? You can use that to unlock the phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2389752

But I still don't know how will you turn on the phone in the first place if your power button is destroyed :p If I were you and my power button is damaged, I would buy a new mobile
[Micromax A116] CRNair:
Keep alarm so it will ask whether to switch on handset or not. I used this method on my nokia 5800 when its power on switch was damaged. This method can be followed on Micromax a116 also.
[Micromax A116] vijaypasham:
Well Thanks for responding :) this helps me,.. was worried if it gets damaged in near future BTW i have replaced my mobile ;) .

Thanks again :good:
[General Questions and Answers] gates71:
Can't ask in the appropriate dev thread, as don't currently have sufficient posts, so sorry for posting this, related to Djembey's rom here. Am using his pre-rooted modified stock slim, deodexed rom, flashed via Philz recovery. The rom is in all other respects fine (love it!), however having an issue with email on my exchange account.

Specifically, am unable to change the notification sound from the 'postman' default, to anything else. The minute i attempt to change the notification ringtone sound through the notification settings on the stock email app, it force closes the Notification panel with 'Unfortunately, Email has stopped' message and throws me back to the General Settings panel.

I've tried clearing data and cache on both Email and Exchange Services, but this has had no effect. I also decided to reflash the rom again, but this time used the factory data set 'wipe' before flashing, as suggested in the installation instructions in Djembey's thread, but still no luck. Wondered if anyone can advise what i could try next?

Just bought PAP 5044. Fantastic phone. Anyone have any ideas for rooting this phone, installing cwm???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsenique:
Use Framaroot 1.6 (Boromir exploit) for rooting. It's pretty much "one click" stuff and works like a charm. Now, as for cwm, I still haven't found the solution. I just managed to boot to the stock recovery but none of the commands are working so no use there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dshn:
Yeah framaroot works awesome. Stock recovery works too. Commands are little funny. Entering everything ith volume up, volume down is for down :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsenique:
Finally got CWM working. The procedure of installing is fairly simple but I had to browse through few czech and russian forums to get the recovery.img.

This procedure doesn't need PC at all. Everything is done on your phone. Just follow these few simple steps.

1. First of all, you should be rooted. If not, use Framaroot to do that (fairly simple to do and pretty much "one click" stuff)

2. Next, install MobileUncle MTK Tools (available here )

3. Now, download the attached recovery.img and transfer it to the root of your SD card.

4. Open MobileUncle and grant root permission if asked.

5. Once it is open, choose "recovery update" on the main screen.

6. You should be able to see your recovery.img first on the list. Below are some other recovery images found online but DO NOT chose those.

7. When tapped your recovery.img it will ask "use recovery file: recovery.img (5620Kb)?" - tap Yes.

8. Within seconds, it is flashed and it will ask if you want to reboot to recovery... choose Yes.

9. That's it. You have fully functional CWM

Now, if you want to backup your device in CWM please note that the backup folder may grow pretty large if you are using SD Ext (which is pretty much a must with this device) so make sure that you have enough space on your SD card before you perform backup.

P.S. browsing through the czech and russian forums, I've found couple of pretty functional ROMs (there are few MIUI ports and one Xperia C port). I'm going to test those in the next couple of days and if it works, I'll share it here.

Cheers.

hi to all,

i just fuond this thread and i hope that someone can help me.. Pleasee!

My first post and it's already a mess.

I explain my situation shortly:

I download framaroot and installed the boromir expansion, by the way everything until i made a mess. I deliberately deleted the browser that is a core application. The result is that the phone is blocked. I didn't done anything else. Now my pc won't recognize the phone, or to be more specific is still recognized but only in recovery mode, and activating "install from adb". The pc recognizes it like an htc dream.. Thanks to adb, i've tried to install the firmware version, in hoping to come back to the stock version and undo, but the installlation is completed but the phone still not workin.

When i turn on the device it starts with boot animation logos and then SOME it's not working and the phone is blocked.

Can someone save me?

thanks to all for reading me, and losing your time. I made a mess.

Yep indeed, infact i put again imei and now it's working, but the only thing i don't know which value to set in at for second sim. It's always hard! To me is a factory problem.

I've installed the bean version instead. It's working, i love it but i don't know exactly how to install\update xposed framework and gravity box tools. When u install, it magically appears on ur sd card a folder called "xposed disabled". It's still not working.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JGeigerM:
Hey XDAers I had and solved a problem that I couldn't find an answer for on the forums so I decided to share.

I recently downloaded DynamicNotifications to try it out. I tried to buy the in-app premium features to support the dev. To my dismay the account it was trying to purchase the IAP on was not the one tied to my credit card and I had no way of changing this. My primary purchasing account is selected in the google play store. So I tried removing the other account from my device entirely and purchasing again. Correct account, payment went through.

So the features were working and so I re-added my secondary account to settings. The premium features I bought disappeared after a few minutes. If I click the upgrade button again it tries again to purchase the IAP with my secondary account.

So basically here's the tl;dr:

Bought an App with primary account w/ credit card tied

Attempted to buy IAP - play store tries to use secondary account (no credit card tied) to buy

Removed secondary account and purchased with primary

Re-added secondary account

Premium features disappear

Delete secondary account, premium features come back.

Re-add the secondary... features disappear again!

I look around and here is what I have tried:

Rebooting. - no luck

Clearing cache - no luck

Clearing play store, services, and google framework data. - no luck

Remove account, TiBu app, Add account, restore backup - IAP features come back... for a few minutes.

Remove account, remove app, reinstall app, launch app, re-add secondary account - This Worked

Weird Problem. Annoying problem. Solved.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] YehoshuaL:
solution:

1) uninstall the app

2) go to play store and switch to the account you want to use to pay from

3) find the app in play store and install again

4) make your in-app purchase
