None, few, and all.

Where you live, coverage, and sometimes even the load on the network itself effect the radio and how it works. By that I mean the only way for you to know which radio has the best battery life is to try them all. Everybody has different habits and live in different network conditions what works for him won't work for you.

Start from the bottom up and use each radio for 2-3 days each. The daily things you do and where you are when you do them will effect how battery life is with each radio. T-Mobile RUU radios are more tuned to their network, but others might work as good or better.

Keep a log and when you reach the end of the latest radio used compare and see which one provided the best battery life.

Start each day with 100% and do a restart to start fresh in the mornings. Then just use the phone as you always did, don't worry about battery life or else you'll be more incline to lightly do things or avoid apps. At the end of the day or when the battery reaches around 5% take a screenshot of the battery stats in settings or use one of the many apps in the Market. Then after the brief trial period (2-3 days) flash another radio and do it all over again.

!! BUT OMG THERE SO MANY RADIOS! IT'LL TAKE FOREVER !!

Stop whining you wanted the best radio and now you have to do the research to find out. Skip a few if you wan't, but then again the one you skipped could've been the best.

I'm paranoid about my technology and today I dropped my phone from about waist hight, it landed on its back and I have an insepio feather case on it but I'm terrified I caused some sort of internal damage to it.

That said, how hard is it to cause internal damage from dropping a S4 with a light case on it? How would you know besides obvious things like a screen or vibration not working?

Thanks in advance! Hopefully your responses will calm my worry's about this. Also is there manufacturer protection on phones that you bought 2nd hand (I bought mine on Swappa).

N9000 camera Vs N9005 camera

Hello guy

I'm so confused about the camcorder differences of N9005 and N9000 version.

Does N9000 has 120fps filming?

I heard somewhere that the only difference is that N9005 has 4K capability. However, some say that N9005 has 720p 120fps filming, a capability that N9000 lacks.

Can you please clear this up? Are they only different in terms of 4K filming?

Those who have N9000 version please post a sample of 120fps filming if their phone has that capability.

Thanks in advance

do you think 4k resolution is that important? the max resolution we may see is 1920x1080, so even if it up to 4096×2160 (4K), you don't feel any difference.

there are many difference between N9000 and N9005, like N9000 is with Exynos 5420, supports WCDMA/GSM, N9005 is with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, supports LTE 4G/WCDMA/GSM

YES, it is a huge difference for some people like me, who use the note's camera for slow motion footage and 4K resolution videos, because not all of us watch the videos only on the note, but also on a 4K screen. (or using a screenshot of a 4K video as an image -> editing in photoshop etc)

Galaxy Note3 SM9005 Video Modes

I just got the SM9005 unlocked no branding. It was apparently packaged for a French speaking country. Dunno if it was France, Canada, Caribbean, or whatever.

Photo sizes:

4128x3096 (4:3)

4128x2322 (16:9)

+some lower settings

Video Sizes:

3840x2160 (16:9)

1920x1080 (16:9)

1440x1080 (4:3)

1280x720 (16:9)

+some lower settings

Video Recording modes:

Normal

Limit for MMS ("The files size of the recoding will be limited for sharing via messages")

Slow motion ("Record files at 120fps for viewing in slow motion) (An extended menu gives you 1/2 1/4 1/8 speed) (1280x720 max @ this speed)

Fast motion ("Record files for viewing in fast motion". This is like time lapse motion capture)

Smooth motion ("Record files at 60fps for clear and smoother viewing") (1920x1080 max @ this speed even if you set the video size to 4k)

So, yes you can get 120fps but it will be time indexed to play slowly, so players will stretch over a longer playback duration. No audio. I guess you could theoretically use a video tool to give you normal playback speed at 120fps, but I've never run across anything that plays at 120fps.

N900 might not support T-Mo bands, It does not include LTE 100% though.

APN Settings

You will probably have to manual configure your APN-Settings. APN-Settings tell your phone how to connect your phone to the mobile data network. They are found in Settings, Connections tab, More networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names. You wil probably want to use the plus sign "+" to add a new one with the information found here.

http://apn-settings.com/t-mobile-apn-settings-step-by-step-configuration/

I didn't check the details but if that information isn't correct, you can search for it here on XDA or other websites. It's a fairly well known request by people just like us looking to connect unlocked phones.

I had to do this with my AT&T service. Carriers are required by law to offer service to unlocked phones, but they are not required to provide the information you need to connect to that service :(. I suppose it's their way to promote selling their own branded locked phones to retain customer loyalty.

Cheers & Good Luck

Don't bother with 4K motion, yet.

Something to keep in mind about the 4K video. Capturing at 30fps, any significant movement will come out very blurry. I've found 4K videos only useful for mostly slow or static subjects and a steady hand. Almost unusable. I've found that running the 1080/60fps to produce much better quality videos overall. I purposely bought my 9005 to get this feature and now I feel sheepish for it. Although I didn't really lose anything for it, spending all that time looking for one was kind of a waste. I think the technology for 4K video recording needs to play a little catch up, before it's really ready to produce the quality that's worth playing back on 4K. Sure, it's higher resolution, but what's the point of motion video when you can't capture much of the motion.

The differences are N9005 supports LTE while the N900 does not. Yes you are able to get AT&T LTE with the N9005 but only on certain frequencies

850Mhz (Band 5)

1900Mhz (Band 2)

Network Service on 9005

It might be theoretically possible to get LTE with a SM-N9005 since the hardware is capable of it and AT&T provides LTE service, however, your mileage may vary. I never get LTE, instead my connections have never given me anything other than HSPA/HSPA+, possibly because I signed up on the "GoPhone" non-contract service. I'm not even sure which is better.

I have a 9005 and get service from AT&T currently (that is likely to change soon). I can typically get H+ service but sometimes when I'm roaming in my car outside less densely populated regions, it will bump down to H (HSPA, HSPA+). I'm not sure how they provision servers to provide connections, and it may be contingent on whether your phone is AT&T branded, and what geographic location you are connecting from. Regardless, I haven't noticed any lag, these are all speeds well above what I would ever need on my phone. Unless you are transfering large bulk files, or using your phone as an internet router for other machines like your laptop, the typical owner will likely not notice it. I was watching online videos, one of the most common high bandwidth applications on phones, with no problem. However, I am currently shopping around for another carrier, prices for their service seems high. I'm glad I didn't get a branded phone, it would be impossible for me to switch if I bought one.

Just make sure you look up APN Settings and try different configurations in your
