[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
Im thinking about revisiting the Note 3 again, getting tired of the 3-3.5hrs screen time of the moto x and the Nexus 5 I dont believe will be much better due to it's small battery. Still feel the same about the decision over the moto x?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyshemi:
Long time no see rob!! Lol I love it man I haven't gotta try the moto x yet but love the note 3 . I'm looking to buy a moto x now though
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
Well hello hello! Mines actually on swappa right now. White front, blue back and yellow buttons with 32gb on board. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyshemi:
I'll be checking it out in like......now .. so how you like the note 3? I bought mine outta contract like always and I'm happy so far it's big though
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
I'm right there with you, it's huge but of contact it's more than two nexus 5s lol. Otherwise very nice device.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyshemi:
Yea the only other phones I wanted to try is the X and the g2
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
Wasn't a fan of the g2. Had carrier IQ as well
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donharden2002:
Have a g2 now and have to agree with you that it's not that impressive in my opinion.

I am seriously considering taking it back and getting the note 3. Just hope the dev's are able to get this bootloader stuff worked out.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
The only reason I would go back to a g2 is of they release a nexus 5 port.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelio_o:
Rob was on the same boat as you man, Took me about 2 days to get adjusted to the size difference I was coming from a HTC one, but had a note 2 at one point for about 2 months before that. Love the display, and really loving the phone. Had the G2 for about 3 weeks, Scrossler is doing great work over there, rid of carrier IQ, plus they were able to bypass the bootloader only thing i miss
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
the size of the note is the only thing that kills me. Its great when i take advantage of it, but its a beats to lug around when im on the move. Will take more than two days to decide if the size is good for me.

Hi,

I have installed the Pocket MSN Service to use MSN Messenger. Don't ask me why I am not using Agile Messenger ....

My Problem is, that MSN Messenger shows me a online state, but it is not online any more. After some Hours, i am losing connection to MSN, but it looks like I am online. After clicking on the refresh button .... MSN Messenger tells me, i have to click hier to login. Fu..ing hell, i was offline some hours. Can someone help me to find a solution, without using Agile Messenger? Don't ask me why .... :`)

Regards EyeOfTheStorm
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] timetex:
I have the same problem, and seems to occur mainly on GPRS, but not unknown on WiFi as well.

I had the same problem on Orange with my C500 / E200, but never on my Ipaq 4150 on WiFi.

I think it must be something to do with the keep-alive-protocol that the MSN client uses back to its own server. It got REALLY bad on my C500 towards the end of my contract, and the only way to tell if I was still signed in was to change my status (and if I'd been inactive for more than about 5 mins, I'd find I was logged out. Useless)

My T Mobile MDA is "better", but still not 100% reliable.

Furthermore, I often get "Your message could not be delivered" errors in MSN and I have to copy and paste my text back in again - leading me to believe I have a rather flakey connection. This appears MORE on WiFi than GPRS, and is really really annoying. It also makes me wonder how much conversation other people are typing which I'm not receiving... :(

I had switched to Agile, but recently found my whole device would need a soft reset within a few "lines" of text of starting Agile, so I've had to abandon that for now, pending my next Hard Reset (which hopefully will coincide with a new ROM release just around the corner...)

So if anyone else has any ideas, I'd be very interested.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:
We gotta know why you're not using agile dude :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] EyeOfTheStorm:
Hi timetex,

i see, i am not the only one, having that problem. Hope M$ will do something!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] EyeOfTheStorm:
Have addressed this problems to MS, hope they will replay to my problems.

I will keep you informed.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] timetex:
happened again today. I was on via GPRS, and fired up my WiFi connection as well (at home) so had double the chance of being connected. Mate in the same room using my computer could see I was online. I could see I was online, however anything he "said", I didn't receive, and anything *I* said he didn't receive. No errors, no "the other person isn't signed on".

I logged off and on again and it fixed itself, but its wholy unreliable.

I tried imov earlier. Installed, but doesn't work. Might go back to agile mobile... but REALLY want the MSN fixed, as I've paid money for it (!) and it integrates in the OS better than agile.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] EyeOfTheStorm:
Got feedback from MS

He wrote that he will give my problem back to the development department and he hopes to find a solution for my problem.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrgilbert79:
Well... removal of carrier bloatware, ability to backup your setup, free up ram, remove gimmicky features you don't like, titanium backup to freeze apps without needing to delete them permanent, Greenify pwns, better battery life unless you screw something up, custom roms when you get tired of the same old ui and you wish you could subsidize early. ..almost certainly be able to get 4.3/ 4.4 much faster unless your Sprint cause they are f'in crazy ?...there are craploads more but I'll let someone else chime in.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

You never really void your warranty...when you flash back to full stock they will never know with a complete wipe. If screen won't light up they can't tell...if phone won't boot they won't know. If usb breaks you have wireless storage you can always flash a modified aboot and purposefully brick beyond the ability to tell.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeorgeNav:
Removing Brightness and Volume bar from status bar when pulled down. Replace menu key with stock recents button. Install mod to increase the already really good camera quality drastically. Decrease the OS size by installing CeanRom for G2 so you have more memory space. Double Tap lock feature for a launcher like Nova Launcher for example. Uninstall bloat if course, T-MOBILE version hardly has any. Can't think of anymore reasons on the top of my head
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
I enjoy being able to increase my headphone and the phone speaker volume, also the ability to hide soft keys and enjoy the full 5.2 inch screen.

Another mod I did was go full black on the status bar and circle percentage battery.

Come to think of it, if it wasn't for rooting I probably would have returned the phone and kept my HTC One.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonjak:
Well to have (never android)4.4 and forward, if LG doesnt provide, i guess i'm on the same track with u.:) Mayby even sooner. Still right now it seems its pretty damn nice covered as it is, but apps like titanium backup, rom toolbox (have owned both 2+ years, not needed for last two phones, battery was problem back then, not so now) i cant see where its needed.

Probably i don't know how to get best out of android phones but to me, rooting was allways part of getting the phone last whole day and ui smooth, now that its as beefy as these new phones are, it comes to the bloatware(wakelocks) and customization and once thats done, its only the updates that keeps me wanting to have custom rom.

Anyway the greenify seems like intresting app, going to see it once im sober. :) The kinda information i was asking for, thanks for that! :)

and happy weekend! :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonheartx:
Could you direct me to the mod that allows double-tap lock on nova?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
Just double tap a status bar, that should shut off the phone
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonjak:
Going to dig this as it's intresting and i have some wine to enjoy. :)

I thought i can get to 360DPI without root? Atleast thats in my mind and would be enough as i used note 2 720p screen with 240dpi and found it the best. anything less and it was a bit too small for my liking.

The pulldown bar might be a good reason for me allso, if too growded with unnessessary stuff and the custom mods are there to flash. gonna see about that. thanks for the heads up. :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonjak:
So there is a circular battery mod? and it needs root? i thought u can use xposed without? or is this not from xposed?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonheartx:
Oh I knew that worked for all launchers -- I thought the user i quoted meant that you can double-tap any open spot to knock-off (i can only do it on the stock launcher right now), rather than just the status bar.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
It was a flashable zip.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonjak:
Going to want that on mine, how did u do it?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] custo:
The stock notification drop down would have driven me nuts. Way too cluttered.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smb209:
Bypassing the Tethering check so you can use portable hotspot/USB tethering without the plan, removing the useless bloatware, and cleaning up the status bar. Who wants to have the location and NFC indicators taking up space all the time?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeorgeNav:
Install screen off and lock, go to nova settings, gestures, double tap, set to application, pick "Screen off" (not "Screen off and Lock")

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] amit.lohar:
it would b nice if u explain what those 3 zip files do..!!

i think the 1st one only gives the info about bad sectors or bad blocks..leaves a log on sd card ..right?..

don't know abt remaining zips..please tell
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] pico hackr:
ya u r right dude , the second file helps to create t2.txt file which describes the % of data erased , if its fully erased it provide the log file up to 100%

The third zip is especially for users like me who depend on oc kernals more , it helps to remove the bad blocks left by the kernel sources on the device
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] amit.lohar:
okay..i flashed 1st rom n found 3 bad blocks in user cache n user partition..now tell me what to do???
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] pico hackr:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bones718:
Would like to know if any body here personally went from a note 2 from another carrier to note 2 on vzw via assumption of lease with a grandfathered data plan.

i'm currently a tmobile note 2 owner trying find someone i can purchase a vzw grandfathered data plan and would like to hear experiences from people that switched over this way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eakeller:
I've swapped around between various carriers without incident. I can't tell from your question phrasing, but if you are intending to bring a handset from a different carrier and use it on VZW, it won't fly. Verizon only allows VZW branded gear on their network....if you're planning to get or already have a VZW Note 2, you're golden.

Regarding the assumption of a grandfathered data plan, it's no big deal. Just be aware that you'll have to switch phone numbers to get the data plan, you can't port in a number and use that data plan on the ported number. The data plan follows the particular line it is attached to; you can change the number once you have it, but you can't swap a data feature around between different lines on your account or any other account.... I've tried. :)

Anyway, as long as you're cool with a VZW handset and a new number, it's really straightforward.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bones718:
yes i will be buying a vzw phone. no subsidies here. if i purchase someones grandfathered 3g account from a 3g phone, will i be able to just pop in a 4g lte sim and get lte? or does the account have to already be a 4g lte account? this is something i don't completely understand yet as with t-mo lte is just a matter of having the hardware or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LBJM:
Vzw stopped allowing 3g users with unlimited upgrade to 4g unlimited last I checked. They made a big deal about this about a year and a half ago. You'd have to manage to get someone's unlimited 4g account.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkool1:
Has this happened recently (3-4 months)? I bought phones off of Craigslist & eBay. I switched my kids lines from 3G to 4G & kept their unlimited data. This was in June. My daughter had a Motorola Droid 2 & I got her a SGSIII. My son had a Motorola Droid X2 & he now has a GNex. Both are HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!

go into the main phone settings, wifi, wifi menu(three dots), advanced, then uncheck scanning always available. this will take care of your battery stats as showing wifi always on, and will help a little on battery.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PolishDude:
I have a Galaxy S4 and the Note 3, I noticed that with the S4 I would pick up LTE at work all the time, with the note I get it sometimes and the signal is not nearly as strong, anyone else notice a weak signal on the Note? Even more annoying is the phone keeps dropping calls when I am on Wifi Calling, I know it is not the wifi network as my S4 has never dropped a call while using wifi calling on my wireless but this phone will drop it and suddenly it will show the person calling me again and I can pick up and resume the call however on the other person's end they never did anything, they never tried calling me back. I am going to return the phone this weekend and pick up another Note 3 to see if I have the same issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
You def gonna have issues. New phone will not fix anything. Look around the forum and will see the issues everyone is having. No fix in sight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DROID76:
I would think this issue and others will be resolved soon. Keep in mind it's a new phone and a new version of the os. I have had Samsung phones since the original galaxy and it seems with each new model comes the same issue with signal or gps but in the end a dev or software update fixes most. Just be patient.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PolishDude:
I dont see any mention of people having calls dropped with wifi calling, is that a known issue?

I can deal with the crappy reception for now, its not terrible, just worse than my S4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MEGABYTEPR:
I haven't had dropped calls but like you I come from an S4 and have the same signal and LTE issue, I exchanged my unit yesterday and still have the same issue. Hopefully it will be resolved with a quick update. With my first unit I did notice that it would not pickup wifi calling as fast as my S4.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SF Steven:
i'm having issues with dropped wifi calls, dropped wifi (in general) and lower signal strength. ooh, also bluetooth glitches (doesn't always respond to bluetooth headset controls, notifications don't play through bluetooth headset).

***almost forgot! even though the Note 3 is listed as fully compatible with the Fitbit One, it won't sync. At all. The Fitbit app will tell you that your device isn't supported and take you to a page that says you have to have certain Samsung devices for it to sync. Like the Note 3. :laugh:

as someone mentioned, new Samsung devices generally have issues that are resolved within a few updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nightfox11:
I'm having some issues as well Nothing that can be Fix through an Software update . but I find the Call quality of the note 3 way better than my S4 and it's not even HD Voice !

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
I'm with you on the call quality. I've never had such great convos on a cell phone. Both sides are crystal clear. I've used the Wi-Fi calling a couple of times, and I did get the unstable warning. When it was connected my calls were really good on Wi-Fi too. I don't know what Samsung did with this phone, but they did a great job for calls. I came from a GSII, and I thought that was pretty good, but the Note 3 makes it sound like a tin can now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RMXO:
I was getting dropped calls via wifi calling even though I'm a few feet from my router. Happened so many times, I just gave up & turned off wifi calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
I noticed there are three mics on this phone. Of course one is for speaking into, and one is noise canceling, but what is the third? Another noise canceling? I Googled it, but didn't really find info on how the three interact. One on top, one on bottom, and one on the bottom right on the side with the power button.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DataHawg:
I get the WiFi unstable pop up too even though there is nothing wrong with my WiFi. I turned off the setting to automatically change connections because it kept turning off my WiFi and switching over to LTE. I have unlimited data so I just stopped using my WiFi at home. Wierd

I believe the third one, the one on the right is not a mic but humidity/temp? Sensors. Or something like that.

In Dallas, I'm getting pretty good LTE signal strength.

The S4 and Note 2 were the same as the Note 3, this appears to be the case with me.

They COULD be doing tower work, I have had that happen as well. You can try finding the modem and flashing it-not sure if it's made it's way into a flashable file yet.

Man I feel for you guys I would be ripping my hair out too. I dont have any of those issues. I actually toggle my data off at home when im hooked to my wifi and dont have any issues. Sorry guys but 10/4 on a good rom fixing the wifi issue. That will probably happen if software issue. Could it be hardware though since some have it some dont?
