[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
The best ICS w/Sense ROM for this phone, in my opinion, was one from sun_dream. It was a direct port from the Sensation, using that phone's 3.3.2 ROM release as the base. There was an 3.3.3 release port but I found it to be much less usable/stable. The best ICS ROM, though, is scverhagen's CM9.1r13. It isn't Sense based, but it is very stable, excellent battery, and everything works as it should (for a CM ROM).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Flandry:
Without having even used an Android phone before, i'm not partial to Sense, but i decided after the previous discussion that i'm going to stick with GB for now for the extra camera quality. However, after this tweaking i think i will make a final nandroid and then flash scverhagen's CM9.1r13 to see if the android really is greener on the other side. ;)

Is it worth going all the way to JB, or are those much less functional?

I've set the Miktouch keyboard layout up with relatively minor changes for now:

www. = SYM

Home key = SPACE

SYM = Left Up (caught again by the limited keymapping vocabulary of GB. If you set to DPAD_LEFT, it registers as DPAD_DOWN when the device is in landscape mode...

ALT (right) = Right Down " " "

Genius key = ALT (right)

I found this post and this post to be useful references when changing the layout.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I can only speak for my own tastes and experiences when discussing a ROM. I personally run Miktouch on my MT4GS. I've tried nearly every ROM available, and given them a good try out. For Sense, I'm gonna run Miktouch, just nothing else comes close to the stability. If I were using a non-sense ROM, I would use scverhagen's CM9.1r13, which is as close to the stability of Miktouch as I've found in a non-stock ROM. I've tried the CM10, 10.1, and 10.2 ROMs but for me the differences just aren't worth the little quirks and issues. Now, many people don't mind those things, or may not even face those same quirks as they might use their phone differently than me. On my Nook Tablet, I use the CM10.1.3 Stable release, as it is so rock-solid. But on this phone, I want 100% (or as close to 100% as is possible) uptime without having to make excuses for why that call got dropped or that text didn't send or my Bluetooth disconnected, etc.

Came here for the main point? Go here and star the issue. If you want to read up, continue on!

Okay. Here's the thing: all of us know that Chrome has never been a fantastic performer on Android. That's just the fact of the matter, currently. The only device I have seen that it actually runs well on is the Nexus 4 (as a phone). The most powerful Android tablet on the market currently, save for the latest Tegra 4 devices, is the Nexus 10.

And Chrome is a disaster on it.

Hence, I wanted to do something about this. I started small, and created a Chromium bug report on Google's own issue page focusing on rectifying the stutter, lag, and unresponsiveness we see with zooming. I've looked at similar reports, and at MOST they have 2-4 stars, over long periods of time. This one? I posted around on Google+, and we've gotten 20 within 16 hours.

That is a milestone.

At this rate, they will HAVE to pay attention to us and work seriously on fixing slow, laggy zooming, and by extension we'll be able to continue our march into panning, scrolling, and overall UI performance.

So c'mon! Head up to the link at the top (or down there at the bottom) and star the issue. Maybe we'll get somewhere! Let's try to hit 100*!

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=302868
[Nexus 10 General] chaosdefinesorder:
I'd rather they corrected the freaking insane memory leak from Chrome than scrolling performance! Open a second tab and Chrome unloads the first tab BUT DOESNT RELEASE THE RAM! Switch back to the first tab and it reloads the page taking up more memory (and resetting the position on the page if scrolled down on sites like FB). In no time at all you have less than 90MB of RAM left and the Android memory manager is killing the keyboard mid-sentence because it is so low on resources!
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
So THAT is what was happening. I didn't know why, I could just tell it was killing the KB due to RAM.
[Nexus 10 General] chaosdefinesorder:
Well, I don't know for absolute definite (I'm not a developer, merely a science graduate "pro user") but I did a series of "tests"

Here's what I did:

1) reboot tablet to start fresh

2) disable all non-needed services (dashclock, widgets etc)

3) note start "free", "in-use" and "unaddressable" RAM in the Applications -> Running screen (the bit to the left of the RAM display at the bottom of the screen I refer to as "unadressable" for lack of a better term)

4) open Chrome, navigate to reasonably image-heavy website (e.g. Facebook)

5) Check RAM usage again ("in use" had gone up, "unaddressable" unchanged)

6) Open an additional tab in Chrome, navigate to same website as 4)

7) check RAM, "in use" had gone up same amount as 5), "unaddressable" unchanged

8) switch back to first tab of Chrome, webpage reloads as if visiting the site for the first time

9) back to RAM view, "unaddressable" had increased by same amount that "in use" had increased by in 5), "in use" had ALSO increased by same amount as in 5)

10) repeat steps 6) to 9) and "unaddressable" keeps going up and up, "free" keeps going down and down, "in-use" remains the same (at least until Android starts killing processes because of the low memory!)

Bonus steps:

11) reboot tablet

12) disable Chrome

13) install AOSP Browser

14) don't look back! ;)

Attached is a screenshot of my RAM usage after only 17 hours of uptime before I started the process of elimination to find the cause. I had it happen after only an hour of uptime before when I was switching between a few tabs at once!
[Nexus 10 General] chaosdefinesorder:
By way of comparison, here's a screenshot of the same menu taken just now after 144 hours uptime (!!!) without ever touching Chrome.

I'm rooted but otherwise stock 4.3, by the way.
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
I might have to go back to the AOSP browser, even though I do like having Chrome synced with my other PC's...
[Nexus 10 General] chaosdefinesorder:
well bookmarks still get synced to desktop Chrome, it's just the "other devices" bit that won't work...
[Nexus 10 General] CWalkop:
Old reply, but that's really odd - I've never experienced a leak like this from Chrome. I've checked for it before, as well, and I never saw it through Android's built-in task manager in Settings. I'll have to try the method you mentioned to see if it persists on my device, too.

Personally, I just want a browser that doesn't get in the way like Chrome does. The features are amazing, but the constant sluggish response wrecks the experience and just makes me want to use a desktop. A RAM leak makes things even worse. Dolphin is much better, but the zooming is weird and it doesn't sync like Chrome does. I really want to love Chrome, but I just can't with the way it is now.

We have 35 stars now, by the way. If we can keep this up, we'll get somewhere hopefully.
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
The AOSP browser has problems of its own. I don't know the last time it was actually updated on the back end but more and more websites aren't rendering properly with it.

Load this in AOSP browser: http://airdailyx.blogspot.com/

Doesn't render correctly.. Works perfect in Chrome though. Also the AOSP browser is NOTORIOUS for the back button just reloading the page and never actually going back a page. I noticed Chrome runs differently depending on the ROM. On PA 3.99 Chrome was a laggy mess. Address bar typing lag etc.. Clean wipe never helped.. I went back to a basic AOSP rom (Rasbean) and Chrome works normal and fast as the AOSP browser now.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
So I was about to hit the button on a pre-order from NegriElectronics for my Unlocked T-Mobile Note 3. I'm gonna buy it from them anyway cause it is about $100 cheaper than getting it from T-Mobile. But as I was browsing their twitter feed for any discounts, I saw that they had updated their warranty (Negricare) plans. I wasn't going to get on originally because I thought $100 down plus a $75 deductible was kinda high, but now that they are cheaper ($59 plus $50 deductible), I wonder if it's worth it now. It still covers accidental damage plus water, manufacturer's defects, etc. I have never broke my phone (though I have dropped it once or twice), but it's always when you think you are safe that crap happens. If anything happened to my delicious Note 3, I would be so depressed. :(

They just announced these changes today, so I don't know if anyone has had a chance to discuss this yet. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Upfront costs mean nothing if you have claim issues down the road. It's not "Negri" insurance it's offered by a third party under Negri's name. Read the T&C to find out who's behind it and see what their AM Best rating is. Also do a Google search to see what people's claims experience have been with the third party. I've had two devices totaled and received $1, 500 in compensation in a week for both claims from SquareTrade no questions asked. Personally, I'd stick to what I know. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I will consider Squaretrade as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negri Electronics:
Thank you for your interest. We simply offer the plans to provide the means to protect your purchase. We have recently partnered with Mack Warranty to back our NegriCare plans. Mack provides exceptional service throughout the claim, which is the #1 reason we chose them. We were able to negotiate costs with them to keep prices down for our customers. The plans are worth it, even if you don't need to file a claim - it's the 'peace of mind that' is worth the money down.

You're likely to find positive and negative reviews for all warranty/protection plan providers out there. It's best to purchase your plan from a trusted company, and what better company than the one that will sell you your device.

How is it $100 cheaper from Negri than it is from T-Mobile? Did you see something I'm missing?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmout:
After reading reports of how poorly Negri has treated customers who have ordered the T-Mobile version thus far, I would think twice about ordering from them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bmerz:
I was wondering this too. Based on your image, NE is only $18.50 less than TMo. However, if the OP is also including the tax, then yes - NE is a lot cheaper. According to NE's FAQ about taxes collected, they only collect tax for orders that are shipped to the state of Nevada. I am in CA, so this will be a LOT cheaper for me through NE, since CA's tax is so high.

However, I am not jumping on the Note 3 just yet, until the actual true specs of the Nexus 5 are announced. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawheat:
Yeah tax is the big killer in buying from the carrier. The savings from NE are worth it as long as they ship tomorrow as on their site. If they push the date later (like the AT&T version was to the 10th), I'll probably cancel and just pick it up locally.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Yeah, it's not just the tax, it's also the fact that I used a coupon code (NE20OFFCART) and got another $20 off as well as free shipping. So my total came to $668. T-Mobile with tax would probably be about $762. So that's why I said $100 cheaper, give or take.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Yeah, to be honest with you, i'm kinda on Negri's side with this one. The main post (the one with the chat and email logs) that criticize Negri show that the guy was complaining about them not shipping as early as the 19th of September. Correct me if i'm wrong, but all of the carriers were saying October 1st-4th for availability. Negri had the expected ship date as 10-3, so i'm not sure what the guy was complaining about.

Now, they have changed the ship date to 10-10, but again, i'm not gonna go crazy because of this. I am saving almost $100 dollars after all. And with all the cancelled pre-orders, I might just get it earlier. lol/jk
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janis:
Is it odd that official news said that Samsung wasn't going to release 16Gb versions, but Negri has them listed?

Also, from the Q&A:

I think I'm glad I spent the other $90 just to cozy up with Tmo. I like that they have iPhone users (and others) entirely dependent on them for support, hardware included, because I get that, too, not because I need it, but because USB ports, power buttons and other main board & plastic parts just don't last that long.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmout:
Hmmm... good point lol. I think he was more pissed off at the perceived threat to delay his shipment because he complained to Google. But you make a fair point -- good catch.

Regardless, you can see several people canceled their pre-orders because of unreliable estimated ship dates and lack of customer service. I've given up dealing with online outlets because of similar hitches with another seller (not Negri) when buying my OG Note. It's left me gun shy lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Wait What?!?!?!

There's no way that that is correct. It's a branded T-Mobile device (you can see it in the pic of the back cover). In addition, the heading of the listing says "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 32GB LTE (T-Mobile) (Unlocked)". Since it has LTE (T-Mobile) in the heading, I'm pretty sure it is LTE capable.

Also, the version that PCMag reviewed here (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2424853,00.asp) was a T-Mobile version, and it was the Snapdragon 800 version of the Note 3. They said that it was using T-Mobile LTE. Negri CSR probably just didn't know what they were talking about or made a simple mistake. There are two versions of this phone after all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negri Electronics:
Thank you for your note. We post "estimated" shipping date for this reason. They are estimated and we are not 100% exact on when they will arrive. If you called around to 40 different T-Mobile stores they would have less info than we provide. Our customer service isn't really "lacking" per-say, it's there, and we are doing our best to handle every request. The fact that some customers are angry with us isn't because of our customer service, it's because of the delay of their product. Customers reach out to us in the worst way, demanding a refund, threatening - however, we do all we can to keep the customer calm, respect their reasoning behind the aggression and try to settle them the best we can. Some have even threatened us if we didn't cancel their order - when they were never charged to begin with. It's a tough job, and no one is perfect, but don't give up on Online stores because of that. Give Negri a chance. The T-Mobile Note 3 is delayed, it happens. We don't do this intentionally - there is absolutely no benefit to it. Zero.

Everything we do is above board, honest and transparent. That's the way this company will always operate while it's under my command.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negri Electronics:
The intention was not to delay his shipment, it was about the resolution. If we could not reach a resolution it would affect his order of course, but the issue at hand is that since a claim was filed with Google, it is handled by an escalated department and not regular NegriCare.

We just hope that all customers understand that it's 100% better to come to us first, than file a claim. The claim form even says to contact us first - but this customer didn't feel that applied to him. ;) Oh well. We deal with things as they come, and with the best possible mindset. We can't please everyone, but we can do our best to try. Sometimes that matters most.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavyharmonies:
Whatever you do, do NOT purchase a Negricare warranty. Not that there's a problem with Negri Electronics, but rather that the company they have providing the service, "Global Warranty", is either completely incompetent, or (and I hate to use the reactionary word) a bunch of scammers.

On October 24, my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 would not start up in the morning. Going through the normal debugging (check battery charge, swap battery, etc.) it appears to have the symptoms of SDS, so it's basically toast. I called Global Warranty that day, provided them with proof (original Newegg purchase receipt) that it was an unlocked GN2, agreed to (1) the $75 deductible and (2) the $300 hold on my credit card until my old phone was returned.

I was told I would be emailed tracking information and have my replacement phone in 1-3 business days.

On October 29, I called Global back for a status update and was told "you're phone will be delivered today" (even though they could not give me any tracking information).

On October 31, I called in again, only to be told that my phone had been ordered but not shipped.

I called Negricare at this point, since they were the ones who sold me the coverage to begin with. I was told the only thing they could do was email Global Warranty, but that I should call Global and ask to speak with a supervisor, since they have all the information at their fingertips, which normal call reps do not.

Fast forward to today, November 5. Still no phone. No tracking information. Nothing.

I call Global and speak with "Jack" a floor supervisor. He looks up my claim, can't figure out what's going on, why I haven't been sent a replacement phone, but that he will "research this" and get back to me.

At this point I am stuck in limbo without cell service (which is also my home phone). Buying Negricare as a phone warranty was a ginormous mistake. One which I will NOT be making again.

Avoid like the plague.
