[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] caffeiNater:
At the link I pasted. Choose individual or family account, and the option "I have a Sprint account and want to upgrade my current device to this one" gives a $249.99 price either way. Are you seeing something different?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] crusnik23:
I would like to know as well. It would be nice to get some of my money back.

Just a heads up to anyone considering moving from the HTC One to this phone should do it. I loved the speakers on the One but the battery life, screen size, and expandable storage are completely worth the switch. I'm really loving this phone and I use the stylus and S-Notes way more than I ever thought I would.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rawkus2g:
I got mine from Amazon for $ 249.99 shipped and retained Sero.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobturismo:
Link please

Or sold by who?

What options did you pick, did you have to call them to have them switch it back,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rawkus2g:
I just ordered it through Amazon online. I chose a random plan and called Sprint to activate it and keep my same plan before turning it on. Worked like a champ on this phone and my previous phone two years ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] yoboyheartless:
Wait what ??

Galaxy gear @ 210+ tax

Just ordered the gear for 30% off on tmobile site using the promo code: ACCOFFER07. Just sharing the info for anyone interested. :o
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rawkus2g:
Ok... I was eligible for an upgrade so I went to Amazon and picked the Note 3 for Sprint. Sero obviously isn't a plan Amazon offers, so I chose one of the plans they do offer and ordered the phone. The phone showed up the next day. Before turning it on, I called Sprint and said I bought a new phone and want to activate it, but stay on the same plan. They said no problem and activated it. Done.

Two years ago when I was eligible for an upgrade that was the method Amazon told me to use if I wanted a plan they didn't offer. Just in case it didn't work, I didn't turn on the phone until I had confirmation from Sprint it would work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] yoboyheartless:
Oh awesome ! What plan do you have ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] piNNoy:
Note 3 vs HTC One Max?

I picked up my Note 3 on 10/5 and have 14 days to return. I'm thinking about checking out the HTC One Max but the non-removable battery may be a deal breaker for me.

Note 3:

My Cons:

Call quality is so bad

I rarely use the SPen (only to show off) so it's useless

hardware power button moves around alot (super minor)

WatchON and My Magazines sometimes pops up with it not responding (I don't use them)

My Pros:

Screensize/resolution is AMAZING (I came from an S2 Lol)

Battery life: WOW. I stream Pandora all day, utube, txt/emails, and I can still get about 24 hr usage with my HEAVY use.

SD Card slot

Removable battery: Awesome for traveling

Charging: WOW. charges from 0-100 in about 2 hours and 30m

HTC One Max(rumored specs) :

My Cons:

Battery: Non-removable battery???? May be a deal breaker for me.

Size: It was looking to be 5.9 view-able but now they think it will be the same 5.7 as our note 3? The phys size looks like it might be half an inch or so bigger then the Note 3. Will be disappointed if the view-able screen is 5.7 instead of 5.9.

My Pros:

If screen-size will be 5.9, this will put me one step closer on making me want to switch.

Similar battery life as the note 3

SPEAKERS!!! I'm a media person, and stereo/front speakers might push me over the top to switch.

Just minor things that I've though about. Please let me know of your thoughts!

10/18 will be the last day I will be able to undo my note 3 purchase with no penalties (besides the $35 restocking fee). I think the HTC One Max will come out on 10/15 as rumored so I'll be trying it in store to get a better feel of which phone suits me best.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jok3sta:
How were you able to retain your sero?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobturismo:
Once he physically got the phone, he called and just activated the phone on his current plan, which is a SERO.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] yoboyheartless:
WTF is a sero

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CypherPsycho:
Hey, I am new to the forum and this is my first post so the first thing I want to say is HI! I hope to become very active here in the future.

Firstly, I'm pretty new to android and I need someone to clear something for me, Currently I want to install the PAC rom to my T-Mobile galaxy s4, the model number shows up SGH-M919.

I was looking around and I came across this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2295673

Further scrolling down, I came across this download link: http://d-h.st/mrL

I downloaded this file but I'm not sure if this is compatible with my phone. T-Mobile SGH-M919, I'd rather not brick my phone.

Can someone please aid me in the process of making sure that this rom is compatible with my device?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards, Lelouch.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
You COULD use that as long as you download the correct kernel from here. Or, if you want to skip trying to find the right kernel, you could use this ROM, which is the exact same thing, just built specifically for the m919. The biggest thing to remember is to not flash anything meant for the i9500 (the octa-core version of the S4). Other carrier's S4 ROMs though, just use a T-Mobile M919 kernel and you're good to go. If you don't feel like adventuring outside of the (mostly) absolute safe ROMs, just don't click outside of the current section you're in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CypherPsycho:
I will use the new link with the one designed for the M919 for safety.

Also, I have a question about kernels.

Can you just flash them the same way you do with roms through CWM recovery?

Are kernels and ROMS interchangeable? EX: Kernel A comes with ROM A and kernel B comes with ROM B, Kernel X is stock. Will kernel B And X work with ROM A?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
1: Yes.

2: Kinda. As I said, you can flash any S4 ROM (minus the i9500 octa-core); just be sure to use the T-Mobile kernel. The only place you will find kernels (on XDA anyway) for the T-Mobile S4 is at that link I provided. To expand, you have to realize that each ROM is either going to be TouchWiz (stock) based or AOSP (CM, ParanoidAndroid, etc) based. The ROM's OP should tell you which they are based upon. Most of the kernels at that link are for either TouchWiz 4.2 (which would be stock TouchWiz or Google Edition 4.2.2), TouchWiz 4.3 (which would be the Google Edition 4.3), AOSP 4.2.2 (which would be CM-10.1 based), or AOSP 4.3 (which would be CM-10.2 based). As long as you match the correct kernel for the correct version of whatever ROM you want to use you will be good.

One comforting fact is that if you happen to forget to flash a TMO kernel (or flash the wrong TMO S4 kernel) after flashing, say, a ROM from the AT&T forum, you're not going to do any sort of permanent damage. You will just be unable to boot. Just go back into recovery, wipe everything, and start over; no harm done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CypherPsycho:
Thank you very much for your help.

I think I have a better understanding of kernels now, before I only knew how they worked and the way they communicated between hardware and software, etc.

Have a nice night!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] kerwin.groot:
I've recently lost all gps connectivity, can't get a lock no matter how long i wait.

It's not just Google Maps, i can't get a location with any program.

Tried third party apps as 'GPS Status' and 'GpsFix Deluxe' to reset a-gps functions, but no luck.

I don't know for sure, but i believe this started after updating to B111.

Does anybody have any tips on how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] customromfan:
Try installing an older version like B107 and have a look if it's working then.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] kerwin.groot:
Fixed it myself.

Don't know why, but i've switched off google's location services i could find (because there seem to be 2/3 locations for these options), rebooted and then switched them back on.

Now they work again, but i don't understand why i've got to have google's location services turned on to have gps with any app at all?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] amoose:
Do you mean Google's location services under Accounts -> Google -> Location Settings, the warning that you get that refers to Google when you toggle "Access my location" on under Settings -> Location services?

Title says it all
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallardo5:
it's probably the emulated BIONZ processor, so it is software related. Camera doesn't work with any app, but hardware is still ok. It's just a deeper software.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TPHex:
I had the screen of death for about the 10th time for no apparent reason. Was literally screaming at the phone and holding down the buttons trying to get some life out of it. Think i held down volume up and the power key, didn't see any bootloader screen, phone restarted but alas, my camera was knackered.

After hard resetting my phone the camera worked for a period short period, but then died again after using the AR function. I'm hoping I can recover the TA partition somehow, as ive read this is the cause of the camera to lose functionality.

Bit annoyed with this phone already, had it less than a week.

Please use this thread to discuss devices other than and any comparisons with other devices on or about the Note III in this thread and any other off-topic issues that are not needing a new thread.

Post with respect, this is a helpful community, hope we all learn from this stuff in here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtbikerr450:
Does anyone have a comparison of the HTC one and the note 3? I would love to know as I might be switching. It won't be my first Samsung I had the s2, s3, note2. The only thing I did not like about the note 2 was the screen resolution but since this is a 1080p display it should look awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mike2518:
I was deciding between this and the LG g2, went with g2. Both phones are very good however. I'm coming from the note 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phantasybm:
I had the same choice but the back part of the g2 really bothered me. Also I just love the note 3 keyboard now that they finally added auto correct.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaungregg:
You can see in my signature I had the S4, Htc One and the LG G2, as far as the latter two devices ask me anything you want. The only two things I loved about the One was the look and feel of it and I liked the Sense UI with Blinkfeed. The G2 was a really cool phone, the knock knock feature is sorely missed after getting used to it for 2 weeks. The rear buttons are not too bad but it really is simpler and easier to have them where Samsung puts them, btw the One power button is a pain in the butt and there being only two buttons instead of 3 down below was just stupid.

So I really liked the G2 but in the end I had to return it because when wearing my polarized sunglasses the screen was impossible to see, also in certain ligt and angles I could see a grid of dots all along the screen. Lastly there was too much lag both playing games and simply scrolling around in settings. SO I revise my list to the Note 3 is number one, the Htc One number 2 and the G2 would be my 3rd choice, now if the Sony Z Ultra were out it would most likely be 2nd choice since it has no flash and if the One Max were available then it might just be first but its not.

Lastly G2 will likely see updates a year after the Note 3 and development will be much slower but most of its problems for most users can't be addressed by development, either you like the button placment or not, either you like on screen navigation controls or you don't and either you wear polarized sunglasses and use your phone while doing so at certain angles or you don't lol.

Me I like to use a phone with stock launchers and the features that the maker put on it otherwise might as well just buy the Nexus device of the year or Google editions, if a phone needs a replacement launcher and an ASOP rom just to be tolerable then whats the point?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polx:
im thinking abt buying either the LG Optimus G Pro or the note 3. which do u think is better and why?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Acaibowl:
Note 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaungregg:
The G Pro compares better against the Note 2 not the 3, aside from having a higher pixel count and same resolution it is inferior in every other way. Every edge it had on the Note 2 it no longer has on the 3 and the new Note only compounds its advantage with newer internals, higher specs, looks, camera, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polx:
ur right.. gonna wait a little longer for the note 3 price to drop a bit before i buy it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mr Ian B:
If you traded your S4 for the Note 3, how much did the TMobile store give you for the S4 as trade in. Thinking about doing this later today.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polx:
i think the note 3 is the best phone out there now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mr Ian B:
You can have it credited to the account and thus, not have a bill till it is all used up or have it credited towards the price of the phone and lowering your monthly payment for the phone. That is what I intend to do and in a couple of months pay off the balance on the phone and go back to my TMobile $30.00/month prepaid plans that gives me 100 talk mins, unlimited texts and 5.0gb of data.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polx:
i dont kno, $730 for a phone is still too steep. i think ill wait december when the note 3's price drops to im hoping $500.. i remember when the S3 was selling for $630 last yr when it came out.. 2 months later, the price fell and i got one used for $450.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] yellowman82:
How do you get 5 gig of data on that plan? Im on sprint right now and im really really thinking of switching I went to a tmobile store and they told me Miami has great coverage and I saw all their plans except that one I seen a 30 bucks plan but that had 2.5 gig instead of the 5 gig.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mr Ian B:
Can not get the plan at stores. You need to activate SIM card yourself online and you will be able to pick this $30 plan with 100 mins talk, unl texts and 5 gb of data. Since I am 90% of time in wifi! I use $3 unlimited USA Skype calls and the 100 mins when on the road. When done activating, call tmobile to port your number if needed.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
Just got my Note 3 today. Pretty pumped. Be looking forward to seeing everyone around the forum.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
I got it done in the T-Mobile store. It used to be called the Walmart plan (don't think it's associated with walmart anymore though). For some reason, I don't think T-Mobile wants people on this plan, that's why it's often difficult to get the store associates to do it for you. But I went to the T-Mobile store and the lady just did it there at the register.

Then again, that was late last year, so maybe they have changed their policy since then.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mingkee:
I got Note 3 after all.

I wanted G Pro, but it does not have AWS HSPA.

I wanted G2, but it has no removable battery and memory card support (same as HTC one).

I wanted Xperia Z, but the battery is not removable.

I wanted S4, but the screen is smaller and white is "dirty" (<5000k).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polx:
i think u made a great choice.

Samsung Galaxy N3 Active

I was in the T-Mo store today looking at the Note 3. Ready and willing to go ahead and pull the trigger, then the rep says they are all out of the white one. They will have more in by the end of the week. Then mentions, they do have some at another store about 5 miles away though. He looks at me looking all disappointed and says, have you heard the rumor about the N3 active? No, I said. He says, if you can wait to get a new phone you might want to read up as it looks like Samsung is going to be going ahead with the release very soon.

thanks for the link.. yeah i saw this before. i wouldnt go crazy abt buying a waterproof note 3 since it'll be bulkier and god knows when it'll be released. but dont get me wrong. i'd love to own one. but cuz of the above stated factors, i wouldnt go ape over it.

i've owned an S3 for a yr now. its never had any water damage though i've used it in a rainy drizzle. and its fallen several times. but guess wat? no scratches or dents and it still works as good as new. so to me the note 3 active isnt worth holding ur breath for.

Hmm,... I had great use with my Xperia Z in the water. Captured some great moments with family and friends..

N900T vs N9005

Any comment on the capability to enable LTE bands which are not available out of the box (enable 700/1700/2100 LTE) for the N9005?

Are the radio capabilities software based or hardware? If software based, then can you "flash" a N900T w/ N9005 firmware and visa versa?

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
Radio is determined by hardware. You can use software to disable radios but not to enable ones that don't exist in the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jfree3000:
Well I finally took the plunge, ditched Sprint for T-Mobile and I am very pleased with the service I am getting. My dl speeds on T-Mobile are 4 times faster than Sprint. I could never get LTE at my house with Sprint (GS3) and I have constant 4g at home now.

When I called Sprint about cancelling the service rep was quite amusing, he told me that T-Mobile would lock me in a two year contact :rolleyes: , there are so many towers in my area being back hauled (bs line for the past 2 years) and T-Mobile's coverage would be terrible.

Well worth the cancellation fee which was only 160 and I will make that up by selling my S3 on Ebay. Wifi calling is a nice bonus as well, loving this phone and this network.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
Welcome to the Magenta family. I've been with tmobile for about 4 years and have been really happy with their coverage. Sometimes out in the country I don't get very good signal. But hey, I'm a city guy anyway haha.

Because if this, I no longer use Swype.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:

Wasn't Swype the first and then I think came Slide-It? Now swiping has become mainstay for Android users, I wonder who filed the first patent for that idea.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
I think it was swype. They used t have it years ago Windows and even before that (I think) on a Samsung feature phone. They used to have that commercial with the dude breaking the world record for speed texting. Hard to believe that's a guiness world record, but you know, 21st century living lol.

Need Help

A vendor sold me a AT&T Note 3 and I have a Tmobile phone account

. Will I loose any features / speed/ quality by using the AT&T model note 3 on a tmobile network rather than the tmobile model?

The vendor is a crook and I got duped. So I am trying to salvage something .

1. Can I us this model on Tmobile network?

2. Does the AT&T note 3 perform slower or have less frequencies (or whatever) or other restrictions.?

3. Can I easily enable this phone to perform as well as a tmobile model would on the tmobile network?

I would appreciate any help. I will deal with this vendor in the a.m. as soon as he opens

so I am trying to get some answers before then.

If it is not a big loss of quality etc then I can make the necc. changes to facilitate using the at&t model on the

Tmobile network.

But, if I will loose any speed or anything else than I would rather get a tmobile model and try to sellll this if vendor won't refund money.

Sorry if this is posted in wrong place I spenrt an hour trying to figure out whrnre to ask a question on this site.

Thanks in advance for some help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
AFAIK they use the same frequency. You should be good. As long as you have the correct modem and you've got you're sim you should be good. I know a lot of people that have taken tmobile phones over to att and got perfectly good speeds so I don't see why it wouldn't work the other direction.

Sorry to here someone screwed you. But it should work just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AdmiralCF420:
I am currently running an AT&T S3 on T-Mobile network and it runs perfectly smooth. T-Mobile and AT&T run the same frequencies. The only feature you lose is WiFi Calling and Mobile Hotspot but there are plenty of apps for both. The downside though is that as far as I know the bootloader is locked on the AT&T model so that could be a bit of a pain if you love flashing ROMs like I do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] argoldst:
I currently have both the lg g2 and the note 3 and yet, still cannot decide on which I should keep. Love the size of the g2 and the screen over the note 3. However, the note 3 has an sd card and seems not to have the occasion lag that the g2 has (which may go away with an update).

I would love to hear people's opinion on the two and why they picked one over the other.
