Anybody come from note 2? What you think. .I briefly held one today. . Not sure I like it being lighter. .. maybe it will wear on me. .getting mine tomorrow. ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] paul89:
I have the note 2 and I could use a lighter phone while being the same size ;)

Thanks. .. probably just have to get in my hands on it for hours
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] paul89:
Yea, I mean for the size of the note 2 it's pretty light. But an even lighter phone would make one hand operation a little easier to use, allowing you to maneuver the phone around better with just one hand.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dude12v:
Hey guys. So I was wondering if there is any mods/ROMS that let let me use or enable the multi user support for android 4.2.2 +. Im running 4.3 and some roms it shows the "USER" setting to set the multi user but it doesnt work right. Or when making a new user I cant go back to my original admin settings unless i delete the user i just created. Is there a ROM that has a fully working multi user that I can go back and fourth Like the nexus tablets?

Thank you.

Currently I'm rolling with AT&T and am starting to get on that new device train, you know, get the new tech (phone or tablet) when it comes out. Thing is, I don't have a ton of disposable income. College is not kind to you. I do however, have an upgrade from AT&T.

Point of this thread is to get some insight from you guys as to how you move up in the phone game. Do you use your upgrades? Where do you go to buy the phone? Do you keep or sell the previous device?

Thanks for the help!!
[General Questions and Answers] sebtorres82:
I TRY to upgrade every 2.5 years max. And I like to keep the phone. But there's not many choices of phones to buy in my country so this slow down the process. Also devices are very expensive here so I need to gather all the money I need before buying one

Hi,

I have asked this question a few times at various places. Very sorry about that.

I tried to apply Galaxy S3's unlock procedure to the Express i437. The first steps were fine unitl the last one. I couldn't find the option [4]NW Lock NV Data INITIALIZ. I looked at the S4 procedure, the idea is quite similar, the options differs in Express i437. Does anyone what's the last step to complete the unlock?

Thanks a lot!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MegaObsessed:
Hello all!

I have a Note 2 who can't detect my sim card, listen to this:

3 months ago I started to get no sim errors, and after trying everything (factory reset etc), I finally decided to buy a new replacement sim tray.

I got it in the mail and replaced it right away. Damn I was looking forward to using my phone again!

Errr.... Still the same no sim error :mad:

Mabye I was extremely unlucky and the new one was faulty as well? Hmm.

I ordered a new sim tray, got it today and replaced the old one.

FFS! Still the same god damn no sim error! :silly: I'm going mad over this ****!

So, it seems like I got no choice but to buy a new phone. (The phone doesn't have any warranty.)

My question is: Has anyone experienced anything like this? Do you have any possible solutions? :confused:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbott10k:
Did you test with a different sim? Are you on a custom or official firmware?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MegaObsessed:
Yes, tried 2 other sim cards, none of them works.

I just recently changed to Cynagenmod 10 from stock to see if it would make a difference, but still get "no sim" error.

Do you think this is motherboard related?

It's clearly not the sim tray itself that is the issue here :confused:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead soul:
Check if your IMEI is correct / the same as when you bought the phone. If you see it has changed or its is corrupt then that might be the reason

to recover your IMEI means recovering your EFS

there is a user here and a htread about recovering / restoring EFS by Drkeaton..something like that .. it very useful and might help u and that mans going back to Stock ROM other than that maybe flash some other ROM stock based though if all fail it might be a hardware fault inside some chip in the mother board !!

I love the battery on this phone xD

Been on for 10 hours and 50 minutes with 4 hours and 34 minutes of screen on time, and i still have 55%!!!

Just saying XD
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
Awesome, can other also share the battery life.

GSMArena says 11+ hr of web browsing, that means screen on has to be 11+ hr in real life conditions, which is noting short of Incredible.

Here is one of my recent cycles off the charger down to 15%. The best screen on time I've gotten so far is a bit over 8 hours using auto brightness and the slider set to 70%.
[G2 General] sublimejosh2000:
14 Hours use. 62% left. 2 hours screen on time. 70% w/ auto brightness.

That would easily put me at 30 hours use with 4 hours+ screen on time. That works for me.

I know this was mentioned in an older post, but I figured I'd get a link to the iFixIt Moto X site.

I found this link useful if you find the need to open up your Moto X and do any repairs.

Granted, the device they show is the XT1058 (16G NAND, same model I have), a lot of the disassembly/reassembly *should* be the same for the other models.

Post with differences if you find them! I'd be happy to keep this OP updated with differences as we find them.

I did notice a possible 16-pin jtag pad located just north of the SK Hynix RAM:

​

But, considering that pad is facing the back of the lcd, it isn't very handy for runtime debugging. (No SWD for me :( )

Anyways, replacing your camera's and other parts looks pretty simple. Enjoy.
[Moto X General] peakcelln:
the iFixit it tutorial is not bad, but should ONLY be attempted by someone with alot of experience. The adhesive on the back cover holding the wide flex is really strong and does not come right off as they show. I heated my hotplate to 180 degrees, peeled a little, then did it again. using a long thin metal smudger is best. It will rip if youre not careful. Same with battery, only dont use heat. use metal smudger and take your time. I have not found the part with a mid chasis attached yet and it is very difficult to separate; use hotplate again at 180 and expect to crack the LCD and Digitizer if it wasnt done already; save the metal pins from the digitizer side frame. The iFixit tutorial stops at the mid chasis and I noticed iFixit doesnt even sell the part...

Hello guys, so i've this i777 from a friend who bought it on amazon. it cames locked . it doesn't read ANY SIM . (dunno if at&T ones) because im not from the US . So i've read in the forums that teh galaxy s unlock works good to unlock it with 2.3 version. I read 4.1 is out there and im not sure if can i have my phone unlocked with 4.1 (without buying any codes on internet) ..

So galaxy s unlock works on i777 with 4.1 stock roms?

i've read that there is another unlocking method messing around with the nv_bindata have anyone unlocket this way?

Have you tried AT&T

I just finished a frustrating series of attempts to use a number of unlocking programs (Galaxy S Unlock, SGS Unlock Tool, GalaxySim Unlock) after rooting with Framaroot-1.4.2, but none of them worked. Then I called AT&T to see if they would provide the code and sure, no problem. After waiting about 5 min to get to a human, I had no trouble at all. May I suggest to one and all that it might be best to try this first as it could save a lot of trouble. Then root it and flash a ROM, if desired - I will to get rid of the AT&T intro and programs I still can't uninstall with root.

FYI - My phone:

Service version : Android Version : 4.1.2 / Baseband Version : I777UCMD8

HI, I don't want any notifications or ringtones to play through the back speaker of my S4 when the headphones are plugged in. I want to ONLY hear those sounds in my headphones. Completely muting the phone doesn't work because then obviously I wouldn't hear anything in the headphones either.

So, is it possible to do this on the GT-i9505 ?

My old Samsung Galaxy Spica did this and I really miss that "feature".

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
HA! this is a hugeass issue on every android I've owned. im assuming you're using poweramp or something right? the stock player pauses the song to play it thru the headphones which is probably why that dude up ^^ doesn't get that.

anyways some kernels fix this, namely Boeffla Sound on the sgs3. sadly I've seen no fix on the s4. SO! , here's what your can do; in your music player (power amp, etc), under audio settings, turn on Settings>Audio>Audio Focus> and tick 'Short Audio Focus Changes', this will pause your music on notifications.

ORRRRR a far better solution is when you plug in your 3.5mm jack headphones (cause this shii* doesn't happen on bluetooth), you can just pull down your notification bar and tap over to vibrate mode. then you'll hear notifications IN YOUR HEADPHONES a little quieter but still noticeably behind your music, and your music won't pause or mute or anything.

Ugly as in the phone? If so then you're insane, as for your tray, did you cut down your sim yourself? Could be why it doesn't open.

Did I say the screen is fantastic?

Got my T-Mobile Note 3 today as well. I guess the overnight shipping was actually worth it this time around!

I might need to break the speakers in but I doubt I'll notice any improvements. The Note 3 boots up insanely fast but I have yet to notice a difference in speed when browsing the net.

I am trying to find some way to Get a note 3 .. my contact is not up Till April which means upgrade Eligible in February. So do I wait till february or try something else. Sprint Gave me 2 options.

1) cancel my phone service and pay $160

2) do their 1 up with give back .. lady did a crappy job of explaining was hoping someone here might be able to explain better. Basically she said I give them my note 2 and I can do the 1 up program now. . Which means what? I pay full price for the note 3 and get to upgrade in a year? I do not get it? Hopefully someone can explain

Than I have a third option I can put some old crap phone on the line and pay the minimum for the next 7 months and let one of my grandkids use it [cost $140) and get a new line of service with new phone number (wouldn't be my first time changing my number to get a new phone so bit a problem for me).. this seems like the best option. .not sure though

Pretty like T-Mobile you pay for phone and your bill so you'll pay like 20$ a month and your plan which is 65$ and if you cancel you'll have to pay the rest of phone only difference is instead of waiting two years to upgrade your phone its every year you can upgrade sorry if this is running on eating while trying to give you a idea.
