[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Achileas:
Brightspot just launched a couple of days ago, and I see a good price for S3 off-contract - the full name of this phone is "Brightspot Samsung Galaxy SIII Cell Phone - White (T999L)". I'm thinking about buying this device and use it with my T-Mobile sim, but was curious to find out if anyone did the same thing and was successful? Do I have to unlock it... would the data work with my T-Mobile sim...? The reps at Target don't seem to know, or they are not willing to tell me the truth :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KingKostas:
If it's a t999l it should work straight out the box. If not just unlock
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It's just a guess, but if it's a T999L, it should be identical to T-Mobile's in every way, including its firmware. Anytime a carrier wants different firmware, they usually give it a different model number.

For example, Metro PCS has the T999N. It is a T999L, only the firmware is different, and doesn't have T-Mobile apps/bloat, but this got it its own model number.

Basically I'm saying it should work with T-Mobile's SIM with nothing done. But, like I said, I am guessing here. If you do need to unlock there are online services as little as $5 out there.

Do you have a link to where you saw it? How much were they asking?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Achileas:
thanks!

well, i cannot post any links yet, but the phone can be found on target's website, under electronics...cell phones...prepaid (no contract). it's 399.99, no contract.

later edit :

just found out that can i can buy the T999N at the same price from metropcs, but i would rather go with T999L from brightspot because i may not have to change the firmware.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Just so you know, you can't flash the T999L firmware to the T999N or vice versa. Roms, kernels, recoveries and modems ok. Firmware no.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
$399.99? I would reconsider buying it, especially with the nexus 5 coming out soon. Only downside is no removable battery and no micro SD card slot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Those are both deal breakers for me. It's just another way the manufacturers can try to dictate how you use hardware you purchased. And to ensure you'll be back to spend more money when the battery dies or you run out of storage.

Anyway, those were both at the top of my list when deciding if I should ditch HTC for this S3.

Sorry for OT, just thought I'd throw that out there!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
It is nice to have expandable storage and the option to change batteries. I had the option of the S3 or nexus 4, its obvious which phone I chose. The back of the nexus 4 being glass (fragile glass) was the deal breaker.

The S3 is nice and I've learned quite a few things since I've had it and its a tough phone, I've dropped it a few times and it doesn't have a single mark on it (guess I'm somewhat lucky).

Op if you decide to go with the S3, backup the imei before you start flashing ROMs. There's a few methods on how to do it, you should be able to find them easily.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Achileas:
yes i am aware of that but i want my phone to have removable battery and microSD card. that means no nexus or apple for me or until they come to their senses... if that would ever happen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Wee bit OT, but if you wanted any further push towards S3, Watch Cnet's Torture Test Video. Priceless.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 4Orr:
Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Achileas:
hahaha don't think i'll ever do that to my phone... i just want a good price on a good/decent phone (battery life, storage, and some official OS future upgrades). S3 comes closest to what i need, so right now i'm only looking for the right price :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Achileas:
anyway. i just ordered it from target, so looks like soon i'll be able to answer my own question.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Cool. Congrats on your new toy! Verify its actually a T999L before you do anything to it though. If it's different, let me know and I can try to help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] js1tr3:
Did it work

I was thinking along the same lines. did it work on tmo? sim locked?

thanks,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] js1tr3:
it Works !

Decided to give it a try, and the target T999L works on regular t-mobile!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Achileas:
sorry for the delay... guess you already found out - yes it works.

how's your wifi calling, by the way?

off topic: and for whoever may still be interested in this phone, it's going for $299.00 now :) at walmart (not brightspot, but t-mobile lte version)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaresTaylan:
Anyone else having issues with using the s pen to do things like write text messages? When I begin to write, the app never recognizes anything and converts it to text. This worked fine prior to root.

I checked for samsung keyboard updates. I already have the latest one. Is there a process I may have frozen that gets tied in with it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulreth:
I use this all day at work and I'm rooted and have not had any issues at all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclutter1:
Does it recognize that the pen is out? Go into the keyboard settings and ensure "Pen Detection" is checked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaresTaylan:
Yes. I can use the pen for s note, air command, etc. Pen detection is not turned off. Even if I write the text with my finger, it shows up, but never gets translated. See below.

I would prefer not to restore if need be. I went through titanium to see if i may have frozen something that uses this functionality, but no dice.

EDIT

Ok, I went ahead and did a factory restore. Still rooted. Still not working.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclutter1:
That's weird. Sorry, I don't know what to tell ya :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bskarpa:
If I can remember correctly there was another post about this somewhere. I had to uninstall the keyboard updates then reinstall then reboot and it has worked since then. I'll check and see if I can find the post for ya after I get back from eating lunch with my daughter.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACalcutt:
I had this issue originally and the recommendation I found was to update "Samsung keyboard Note 3/10.1". When I looked it was already up to date, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled the keyboard. I think I may have also needed to kill app with the keyboard open before it started working.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bskarpa:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] lorilucille9:
Me Too!

I've got that problem too! It stops after so many vibrations and then it won't work until a different application is used. For example, I type up a text message and it stops vibrating for every character I type after a few keystrokes. I send message then multitask by going to Facebook and then comment on a post and it will do same thing there. Weird, thinking the motor needs replaced or is it a software glitch for the constant flashing of roms I do?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joozzt:
Hi all, i've seen this on the audio-input of 2 PocketPC devices until

now, the X50 and MDA pro ( and probably on all clones): both have

frequency-ranges only up to 8 KHz max. Both on external input and

internal mic, this picture is of external input (headset) of XDAIIs and MDA pro as a comparison:

http://home.wirehub.nl/~technica/downloads/XDAs.gif

It looks like these devices either:

1. have a very steep filter built-in or more likely:

2. when we set them at 44.1 KHz it only samples at 22 KHz and

re-samples up.

They advertise with sampling-frequency of 44.1 KHz....

Ofcourse the output can, but what about the input ????

Any known hack ? New ROM anywhere?

Can anybody shed some light on this ?

Mister HTC ?

re: icon colors

You need to open the Xposed Installer app & select "Framework", then select

"install/update" before you can use Wanam successfully.

After that you need to open Wanam and click on the heading of "Themes".

There you will see a lot of options for colors, including changing icon colors

in the notification pulldown screen.

Just remember, that all the color options have an ON/OFF switch on the top

right hand side of screen. If you don't turn it on before changing colors it will

not work at all. After you are done making changes reboot the phone.

Good luck!

re: long press back key

If you go into Wanam under the "system" heading & scroll down you will see an option

to "Long BACK Kills Apps", click on that to activate it.

Then right under that there is an option to make a white list of all the apps you want to

exclude from being killed when you long press the back key.

These options in Wanam work very well.
