[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nubie:
It does, but the problem is that it needs a phone to make it "smart." I believe it's not self sufficient.

I'm not knocking it, it's a great effort. But, it's hard to ignore that it is more of an accessory to the galaxy devices, rather than a stand alone smart watch.

I was getting one myself when I first heard about it, but seeing it's limitations, I don't think it is justifiable to shell out 300 for it.

Granted, the gear 2 will be just amazing. Look at the note series... The 2nd and 3rd revisions are just awesome.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tassos_chry:
Hey guys,

I have recently sold my old smartphone, which is HTC Desire X, and now I'm seriously thinking to buy Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE.

The main reason I sold my HTC was that the state of development was pretty sad and I don't think there is gonna be a bug-free version of CM any time soon..

So my questions are: Is it worth to buy this phone depending on the current (or future) state of development? Do you think there gonna be many devs working on this phone? Do you know of any other phone on the same price range that has a better dev support?? The bugs on the current version of CM are negligible or is the CM ROM not recommended for daily use?

Thank you for your time and I hope to join your awesome community soon.

Sincerely,tassos_chry
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
I only know answers to the CM questions.

There is a stable CM version 10.1.3 with no major bugs or reboots (for myself). There has been one guy who reported an audio issue and a reboot following the audio issue but there doesn't seem to be other major issues. I've been using the nightlies daily since early September and they've worked fine for daily use :)

The IR blaster was recently working with that release of CM as well so the only thing lacking would be a stock FM Radio app.

An official CM 10.2 is in the works and is planned to have BLN support and FM Radio.

Also, there are recently more devs checking this phone out and one new rom has just been released (Carbon JB).

Hello guys,

I have a weird problem with me device, it does not charge with the wall adapter (rated 0.7A) and rather discharges while showing the lightning bolt charging icon. Right now, I am trying to charge it with USB port with some success. It is very slow though.

View attachment 2307298

A couple of hours ago, my battery had dropped to 1%. I plugged in the charger, and I tried to switch on the device (which I usually do, and it has worked with no issues until now) so I could use it simultaneously. The device started and turned off, and refused to accept and recognize the wall charger. After trying all sorts of things, I plugged it into my laptop's USB port and it finally started charging. I charged upto 3% with USB and then tried switching to wall charger, it didn't work. SO right now I'm charging the device with USB and it has reached up to 18%. The charger still doesn't work. Any idea what's gone wrong with the wall charger?

Please help me out.

Has anybody noticed a difference in the charge time using the 3.0 USB cord? I've tried charging with a 2.0 and a 3.0 but I haven't noticed much difference. Obviously haven't had the device long enough to really test it out over a period of time.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lildoggs:
I read somewhere on the net that the 3.0 usb cord is only for data transfer. Not for charging purposes. Correct me if I'm wrong. I still haven't got a note 3. Just patiently waiting till I'm up for an upgrade.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokesonme:
So far I have watched a number of benchmark videos, and done as much research as possible (not literally):

- USB 3.0 will increase USB charging rates and USB charging speeds compared to its USB 2.0 counterpart

- USB 3.0 will NOT increase charging through a 2 Amp or 1 Amp charger compared to its USB 2.0 counterpart

- Biggest charging factor will be whether you are using a 1 or 2 Amp wall charger

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

"There are a few factors that come into play here, so let’s start with “power loads.” USB 2.0 is restricted to five loads, while USB 3.0 ups that to six. OK, so that’s a 20 percent increase in how many loads a USB port can supply, but there’s more to it. Each load in USB 2.0 is 100mA of current. Simple math confirms the 500mA power supply for today’s USB interfaces — five loads at 100mA equals the 500mA that USB 2.0 can supply a device.

The specification for USB 3.0, however raises the not only the number of loads, but the current per load as well — 150mA, which is 50 percent more per load. Combining the six loads of USB 3.0 and its higher 150mA current per load nets you 900 mA for power supply with the new specification."

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinichi21:
So if i have a wall charger that support 3amps will it charge faster?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruebarb:
Battery charging is limited by a few things:

First and foremost the PCM (protection circuit module), it controls how fast the battery charges and discharges...

The PCM limits the Note 3 to Max 900mA (I haven't personally verified, don't have a Note 3 yet)

In the past, USB 2.0 devices for Samsung, the wall warts shorted out the data pins on the USB cable, which allowed the phone to charge at full speed over the usb 2.0 interface. The wall wart needed to be atleast 1A

The USB 2.0 ports are limited to 500mA output

The USB 3.0 ports are currently designed for 900mA output, although the spec can go to 5A or 5,000mA

So the advantage is you can now charge your Note 3 at the same speeds via a USB 3.0 on your PC as you can on the wall wart.

Now if you hack a usb cable and short the data wires and plug a usb 2 phone into a 1 amp usb port, you can get the full charging speed, but this took some effort.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImSteevin:
I have noticed that the charging when plugged into my PC is much faster with the USB 3.0 cable, while charging on my 2 amp stock charger seems indistinguishable between 2.0 and 3.0 cables
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] americasteam:
This is correct. Only makes a difference when using the 3.0 cable when plugged up to a USB 3.0 port on your pc. Doesn't make a difference which cable is used when charging from a wall outlet.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wellmaybe:
I'm not sure whether this is entirely correct...

When I plugged my phone to a USB 3.0 port on my Retina MacBook Pro Mid 2012, it's registered as (according to System Report), a USB 2.0 device. At least, it's charging at 500mah. Fyi, using the same cable/port, my USB 3.0 external hard drive is registered as a USB 3.0 device.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackxlj:
My m17x alienware(2012) reads it as a USB 3 device
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruebarb:
Adding to this post, the note 3 charges at 1.5Amps. I built my own usb charger and can verify the Amps, it charges at 1.5A on usb 2.0 cable, hacked usb 2.0 cable and USB 3.0. cable.

I can not verify how fast it charges on the Samsung charger or standard PC Usb.

We can assume it charges at 1.5 Amps on the Samsung charger as it is rating for 2.0 Amps

ok i'm trying to use my usb 3.0 but the phone always times out before it will finish a long transfer usually times out around 5 min or so any advice or something I haven't changed because 5 min is not long enough to send movies or mass music
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rukbat:
That's typical with some USB hubs. Try going directly to the compter's port.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziko:
No, clearly NO.

Its a ROM issue.

Some ROMs have USB3 charging enabled and the phone charges all the time with max current.

ECHOE ROM is that one i know.

Omega ROM is the opposite part, charging over USB3 lasts forever.

Its my own experince, imstalled both ROMs, with same PC and same USB3 cable.

I am watching my IP cameras on the phone, on my desk, and with connected USB3 cable the Omega ROM drains battery only from watching.

With Echoe ROM, same phone, same cable, same PC, same cameras, the battery is charging very fast, during watching.

Other custom ROMs i installed have similar issue.

So ask your ROM cook to solve this problem.

My problem is that I'm s-on,and it's seems that I can't do the supercid what is the first step for Facepalm process.

I red a lot about this topic, everything what I have found.

It appears that I got the hboot 2.15 version with Jb ota Update ,whereby the phone became write protected (the mmcblk0p4 file ),so the cid overwriting cant be done.

I tried it on ViperOneS 1.2.1 - 2.2.0,on Tricktroid 7-9.1 and on Jb Stock also.The drivers ,sdk ,the termal emulaton on phone ,hex editing works well.Already tried with adb commands on pc and on phone (with emulator).

Is it any solution instead of Facepalm and Moonshine methods or the only solution is riff/jtag?

how you did that?

Have you done the supercid process with hex editing http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911

and than pust the command or just connected the phone then adb shell and su + echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20 the command?

[HTC Droid DNA] illusionz:
So, I'm moving. And my PC doesn't have a WiFi card in it for the time being. Ethernet is out of the question.

I have an unlimited Verizon 4g plan... but I heard they don't let you tether for free anymore over their network with unlimited. (I can use WiFi root tether, but that's beside the point.)

I've tried using the Settings => Usb Tethering option, but stock sense doesn't let you tether without a 4g connection enabled.

Any ideas? (Preferably something without dumb limitations, like no https etc, but beggars can't be choosers.)

Thanks!

I use fox fi and with the pdanet application on the pc you can fake your image hiding your tethering, doing it the way the guy above states does not work on stock anymore normally and would certainty show your usage. on pdanet just use stage two usage hiding uh is hard to explain and I'm on my phone I'll update my post in like 10 minutes showing what I mean with pictures on my pc K.

Thanks mate. I didn't know PDA used my phones WiFi. Thought it only worked with 3g.

[HTC Droid DNA] reaverclan:
on PDANET atm with LEVEL II usage hiding and i was able to get into things like paypal with https and what not. So i think it would be fine, i don't have unlimited anymore so i use no hiding but i turned it on to see if it works and it seemed to. Im posting this with it on level II.
[HTC Droid DNA] illusionz:
Definitely works and will do the trick for now. Thanks man.

The free version kind of blows... I go through the allotted data in like a minute.

Do you notice pretty low speeds, or connection drops when the phone goes to sleep? Do you know if I need to keep it always screen on or something? Or is this the level 2 screening?

Wish there was a way to do this natively without having to do all this, but will work in a pinch. Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] reaverclan:
it works by using a advanced proxy type thing( its complicated) but i notice no difference with it on level 2 and none and witht he phone off i do have a fox fi key though since i use it for work a lot. with the free version i did notice it was slower but i had that version so long ago they had it where it was unlimited but only 180KB/s so it was slow regardless, this was a OG droid so long time ago. its still cheaper than getting hard line lol and an one time only payment, i used to have issues on windows 8 but their newest pdanet client for desktop fixed those. i get around 20mbps in the field generally when working.

hope this helps explain some things.

[HTC Droid DNA] illusionz:
Thanks bud, yeah it helps. I'll probably end up buying it eventually... WiFi Tether [Root] works fine for WiFi, but for some reason FoxFi scares me. I feel verizon will strip my unlimited away from me while using FoxFi. Not sure why I feel safer using the WiFi root tether app though.
[HTC Droid DNA] reaverclan:
they should be able to tell your tethering with a normal non proxied app. In reality though they can allways tell if they cared but unless your use more than like 6 GB idk they would care if your plan is expensive enough lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] illusionz:
Yeah, I wish there was another way than pdanet to do it. Wish there was a way to tell if the speeds are just my phone or the free pdanet version.
[HTC Droid DNA] reaverclan:
how low are the speeds on speedtest.net on pc vs on the app on the phone, mine are almost same.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dc:
I recently bought the JJ and love it EXCEPT for one issue. I am totally unable to surf the net with any method other than GPRS. I have a Netgear router connected to my desktop and my broadband connection, and run a wireless network with my tablet PC. Before I upgraded, my IIi had no trouble syncing (I know AS 4 doesn't support this) or using IE to surf the net wirelessly. I never had to change any settings on my wifi network.

With the JJ, it connects, gives me a decent looking IP address, but immediately following connection, it kills the Wifi network. Neither the desktop or tablet PC can connect to the internet via the cable modem attached to the router anymore, and what's worse, AS crashes and will no longer synchronise the JJ (which is hooked up to the Tablet via USB). Spb Weather subsequently no longer syncs, either. The only solution I found is that I can reboot the router (the technical term for pulling the plug out of the socket and then putting it back in) AFTER I disconnect the JJ. I can go online again then with everything excep the JJ of course. Unfortunately, I have found no way to reconnect my JJ to AS without doing a hard reset (which I've already had to do twice!).

I know that I can get on the internet using my AS connection because I can update Spb weather, check email, etc. via the USB connection, but yet I cannot get IE to connect. What am I doing wrong?

Please help me complete the one thing that would make the JJ the best PDA I have ever had. :cry:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nabil2000:
routers and activesync

Microsoft are working on this and other activesync issues. a new AS version will be available in November, so they promise...

Be aware though that in my experience, the worst configuration problems come from routers, and defining network segments... are u using windows xp, maybe network bridging the connection to JJ with the tablet pc could help, u might need to fiddle a bit with the created bridge, like disable enable bridge/connections, etc... this is how i could have tried to do it anyways...

good luck dude, it took me once five days to sort out a wireless connection via routing, and another time I just returned the kit I just bought from netgear to replace it with a one from belkin, but i still had to sweat to get things smooth..., this is the price to pay when hardware is produced by so many different companies, with different drivers, etc... we wish things were more standardised; and to the credit of MS, it forced computer manufacturers to standardise a lot of what they produce, but not enough to my satisfaction...

Peace out

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
Hmm, tricky. You shouldn't have so much trouble. Try a few things that pop to mind:

- Check if your PC has a proxy set. I THINK I once found that when I synced my PPC got passed the proxy settings, and it confused me for ages. WOuld explain why IE behaves differently to spb. I think the proxy is under advanced settings on network connections of PPC

- Check you PPC networks adaptor settings, all should be set to "obtain server-assigned IP"

- Try trning off wifi when using AS. They may conflict

- Search this board for "firewall". Other users have found this to be an issue with AS

Not too helpful, I know...
