[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
I'm trying to get set up with Straight talk and have two phones at my disposal(both wifi only currently). My current US Cellular HTC Hero S and my ATT Samsung Galaxy Captivate. I switched to the Hero S because my cappy has the SoD problem and no fixes worked for it, but I liked the cappy more because of all the support it saw here on XDA. My current problem is that the HTC Hero S(CDMA, but can also work on GSM) will only be accepted by Straight Talk for CDMA usage, US Cellular says I can't use GSM on it in the United States.

This has led to the decision to just use my cappy and deal with the SoDs until I can get around to buying a new galaxy. My questions are...

-What do I need to do to use it on Straight Talk? I read that I may need an unlock code from ATT to use Straight Talk's sim card, but Straight Talk sells both ATT and Tmobile cards and in a related XDA thread someone said If I go with the ATT sim card from Straight Talk I won't need that unlock code, it will just work. Is this correct?

-Will I need to edit my APN settings, and if so, how do I do that?

-I'll be starting off with stock software(one clicked back to stock), but I plan to go back to CM10.1 or whatever their newest version is after my sim card and prepaid card get here from ST. Will I have any problems with my Straight Talk service after rooting/romming?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
1- I'm not so sure as I'm not american. That being said, unlocking is quite easy.

2- You might. Settings -> wireless & network -> Mobile network settings -> Access point names.

3- It doesn't change anything.

And you may need to try more than one APNs. It took a while for me to find one that works for my phone. If you still need help msg me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jxxlius:
Hi guys !

A few weeks ago, I accidentally deadbricked my Galaxy Note I717 (known in Singapore as the Note 1 LTE/N7005) , so I sent it to a repair shop to get the whole motherboard replaced. I just got it back yesterday, and I could not get a stable signal at all , only LTE and GSM on rare occasions for a few minutes. I checked the IMEI and found out that the software's IMEI did not match the one printed on the back of the phone.

Any ideas how can I get this issue fixed WITHOUT buying a 3rd party SDT Box or such items?

Thanks !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ddochi11:
From what I know, replacing the motherboard is like getting a different phone. So, you may need to contact your service provider and tell them that you repaired your phone. See if they can update your account to make your service work on the phone.

Hello,

Is it possible to scale widgets in Sense 4+ ? Because I have a problem with widgets like Chronus and Timely which don't scale properly.

I am using Revelation 1.0.2. And I also use 'search' but I don't find anything useful.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Zoy:
I've successfully set up a couple of pop3 accounts on my XDA Exec, but I let the name of the 1st one default to POP3, and now I can't change it - that option is greyed out when you go through the account options to reconfigure. I can find no way of deleting it elsewhere. Can anyone tell me how to rename or delete the account?

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
When in options select the account as you would if were trying to edit. Select "Fn + Space" you'll get a delete menu
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Zoy:
Many thanks jah, totally sorted! :D

Mods Pls delete this post. Was a stupid post. Figured the issue
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gman68:
I have to start by saying I've been a long time Windows guy. I've had many tablet PC's and liked the ability to use a stylus for both ink notes and ink to text. However, tablet PC's were always too heavy for real portable use. I've never been a fan of Apple products and really have considered the iPad more of a toy than a business machine.

When I first saw the Galaxy Note 10.1 I figured this was what I had been waiting and for. I like many features of the Note. Particularly the ability to take ink notes with LectureNotes. However, after using Android for a full year, I realize there are many shortcomings if you are trying to use as your main portable computer. I use all the Microsoft Office products and Android just falls short on all of them. So I tried using Remote Desktop to simulate Windows. However, all the apps I found are glitchy.

I stopped in my local Windows Store and discovered Windows 8 has pretty much all the capabilities I need. I tried the Surface Pro but found it to be too heavy, runs hot and is loud. Then I discovered Samsung makes a series called ATIV Tab 5 or 500T. I bought one from a store that gives a 15 day return trial. This thing is really cool. It has built in USB and HDMI ports, has an 11.5" screen, is light, runs fast yet stays cool. I can do all my Office stuff plus load full programs, which is a huge plus. The HDMI port allows connection to a monitor and Windows 8 has the built in ability for dual screens. This ends up being a full blown computer when I need it to be!

I'm not sure that I understand the huge angst for Windows 8. So far I think it is fast and I just got the 8.1 update, which is supposed to make it faster.

Long story short - after trying the Android for a year I found it just isn't capable enough as a work computer. Try the Samsung 500T, I think you'll like it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sbrownla:
The 500T is excellent but Windows 8 lacks the integration with Android phones (Note II, and I have had a Windows phone and felt trapped) as well as many of the customization options that are available on Android. Plus I prefer native Google Maps and search to Bing.

But yeah I mean if you need a full OS it's a good way to go and Samsung has made it compatible with things like S-Note.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] xsessive:
i to have been considering the switch. ..as really i need the desktop option for power point and you can also use bluestacks for Android apps on w8

recently been scouting the pro 2, but also lookef at some of asus offerings and Samsung as well including the ones yo mentioned

battery still concerns me so i may keep my note for those long plane rides, but the multi tasking on windows 8 i feel brings something great to the table

just waiting to se what option is best for me
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Mr. bird:
The surface pro 2 is looking good to me. Having a tablet and a laptop in one, 8gb of ram lots of storage, usb 3.0. Being able to use lightroom, photoshop and other full software would be great. This tablet is great and for the price I paid well worth it but I need more. I'm gonna sell this and probably go for the new surface or an ativ with my Christmas bonus.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kkretch:
You can even use usb 3.0 external hard drives on pro 2, they are sweet but very pricey also.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Riki1kenobi:
I picked up a Dell Latitude 10 from the outlet store for £250 iirc to do an experiment in Windows tablets (couldn't justify the cost of a Surface Pro) and I must say, having used it for a couple of months now I love having a fully fledged OS on a tablet. The version I got came with the 4 cell battery which gets me over 18 (YES I did say 18) hours of productive use. When used as a laptop/desktop replacement I get over two days between charges, if I use the productivity dock you can double that easily. In real world terms, one charge can last a week depending on what you are doing. Using the Note in the same way I'd need to charge it daily.

I still use the Note 10.1 but more as a secondary/backup/internet device. The weirdest thing I've found since going over to a Win 8 tablet is how it has sentenced my desktop AND laptop to the dust bowl with only the latter getting out for the odd gaming session.

As a predominately Linux user (mainly used windows for gaming) I think what Microsoft have done with Windows 8 is genius and I am one of those weirdos that actually love the simplicity of Metro for basic things and desktop mode for everything else. I would love to be able to switch between Linux and Win 8 like I'm used to, but tbh I have not missed using Linux too much since getting it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] xsessive:
whats a good priced win8 tablet with pen and good battery life

also keyboard would be nice that has a battery
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nymviper1126:
I like the 500T but do not like that you cannot use the pen to navigate around (webpages etc).

Touchwiz has alot of nice touches with the s-pen and mobile use.

Only thing need Win8 for is MS office. Android options are garbage. tied of professors getting mad about sloppy formating.

Once MS puts office out for Android(if ever) then no point.

But Samsung will soon have Dual boot with WinRT...though I was shocked the 500T has full Win 8.

I heard the Tab3 is garbage tho..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] xsessive:
agreed..really need ms office more importantly in the enterprise sector...still dont get why the dont offer the surface pro for 500
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] karaern:
On the other hand I switch to Android from Windows 8 tablet!

Windows 8 tablets are:

Top slow, terribly slow on multitasking

Still don't have multiwindow

Touch response is just not as good as note 10

Battery life is just out of any discussion.! More powerful the tablet, less battery it has, means the worst usage, per to pocket. ?

No real mobile applications, keep on the browser alive and you will end up with even worst battery

Keyboard is just from primitive ages. ?, don't mention about the swipe...But you can be a dreamer. ?.

Pen calibration issue all the time forever. ?.

Gogogo ms soon will be really micro! Company...With overpriced products that just can't make it

And please stop that productivity thingies, w8 tablets are just in stage of touch enabled net books, and no you can not make anything on Netbook Eexcept editing office docs and being fun of ms office... Because others out there so the same thing, On THE GO

?.All those written by note 10.1, used for business purposes, by swyping, just on a cafe table. ..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] xsessive:
you know i actually had this same reasins for not switching ...but the bluestacks came along and i have all the the tablet apps i need and google stuff plus a full desktop to book
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Mr. bird:
Old windows 8 tablets are crap. New ones (depending on what) aren't bad at all. Im actually now looking at the lenovo yoga 2. 13in screen, i7 processor, 8gb ram amd 256gb ssd usb 3.0. Full windows 8 so I can use lightroom and photoshop. Battery life is decent. Good enough for me. I don't need all the android apps. I need full programs. I have my phome for the little android apps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Temetka:
I've been considering switching from my note tablet to a surface tablet. I really like Windows 8 and as someone who has been using computing devices since the mid 1980's , I just want one device to rule them all. I love my note, it is a great device. But it doesn't have one note. I really like the s-note program, but onenote is far superior.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] peare:
I'll tell you this, we still need windows 8 tablets. Unfortunately Microsoft having been to late to understand the mobile trend acted slowly. The 2 giants Microsoft and Intel dominated the world for 20 years, but both giants are now having difficulties in adapting.MS could have adapted its phone OS to a simple tablet, but waited to release the RT. I own a smartphone (Note2) which I use when I am on the road. At office I depend on my GN 10.1. Since I love technology I constantly change devices. Nevertheless last february I started with Vaio Duo 11 which I returned in a week, got a Samsung XE700T, which I sold to a friend in two months. I was a bit confused and about windows 8 and the tablets had not been matured... until Haswell. Now I am also a proud owner of a Vaio Duo 13 which I love. I am not using my GN 10.1. It just sits there on the table. After 8.1 update and the recent wifi driver update Duo 13 has been my first choice in mobility. With 8 gig RAM, 256 gig SSD and a i7 processor... I think we will see more windows tablets, hybrids in the future. I am an Android fan, but seriously they are just toys and gadgets.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] karaern:
Probably will have just Several hours of real usage time and Soon I count the time that ms Will be a history as the term→ pre-pc era! Shall be said pre-mS era:eek::D

Send by GT2-7 by TelephatyTalk.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] peare:
Not really. Standby time of Vaio Duo 13 is quite good, not as good as Ipad or GN 10.1, but 10+ hours of continuous usage, near 2 days standby getting e-mails or social media updates.

As for MS... Gates is only good at marketing. In mid 90's he said multimedia was not important, later he didnt care about Internet, but every time he made a comeback. We know that there is a huge decrease in desktop and laptop sales lately, but this is also a great danger for the future of technology, unless portable devices would be capable of doing whatever those machines are doing. If PC market dies who will financially backup the future supercomputers? Are we going to send men on Mars relying on Ipads?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kcrudup:
Although I make my living developing/building Android devices, I hope the Windows Tablet market remains viable as without competition you get stagnation, which isn't good for anyone.

No, but I suspect they'll be using more ARM chips (i.e., Android/iDevice) chips than x86 chips (PC/Surface) to do so as time goes on- your question will likely be more reality than fiction.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Riki1kenobi:
Yes it does. I use One Note on all my devices. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.onenote&hl=en :good:

Hi,

Since I installed CM 10.1.3 (stable) on my Note 2 (I317M - Bell Canada), I found the signal/data very weak compare the stock or other roms that I tried (ex: JediXP). Could it be related to the radio/modem? I checked on google for any I317M Bell Canada radio/modem to flash but I didn't found nothing.

ex: Every day I'm listening streaming radio (TuneIn Radio) in my car and since I'm on CM 10.1.3 (stable) the radio always stop/buffer.

Phone: Samsung Note 2 (I317M - Bell Canada)

CM: cm-10.1.3-t0lteatt.zip

Thanks for your help!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuleOfSines:
Anyone know why I would get awful bluetooth sound quality in my car using any sense-based rom, including stock, VS any GE or CM based rom? Whenever I run sense, the audio in my car sounds like I'm listening through a sewer pipe and is unlistenable as it actually hurts my ears. But in CM/GE it sounds great.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 675terry:
similar issue

I am running stock and finding the sound quality is horrible with the bluetooth hooked into my 2012 Volvo. Also, music streaming sounds great but every few minutes it loses connection for a brief second then reconnects. Had my Nexus 4 hooked up with no issues before, sound quality good and no drop outs. Was hoping the recent update would improve it but the was no difference. Oddly if I turn off my wifi while in the car the bluetooth operates slightly better.

Hello,

Sony store offered me an insurance policy for 2 years for $80 last night, I have 30 days to buy it. I was wondering if its worth it to get the insurance or just screw it and get a case?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
I don't know where you live, but here in europe they're obligated to repair the device when a malfunction occurs. That doesn't cover stupidity by the owner.

The insurance policy is usualy that crapy that stupidity isn't covered, so that disables the entire reason of the insurance. But you'll have to look for yourself in that one.

Getting a case is always a good idea, you don't want to damage it when you transport the phone. I have a case where a place the phone in only when i transport it, or in my pants. The phone is loose in the case so i can easily get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TurbineTester:
So i really love the look, feel, options and performance of a clean fresh install of AOKP. However, the more apps i install and use the slower the performance of the UI gets. It slowly gets unbearable, seemingly, as i add back my apps that i like. Is this normal? I've tried a memory manager called Auto Memory Manager but that didn't seem to help at all. Is this just a consequence of having lots of apps installed? It's almost like i'm on an old windows machine and it needs to have a clean install every couple of months to get the "snappy" ui feel back. It bad enough sometimes where it takes the phone 5-10 seconds to actually answer a call once I click answer and 5 seconds to get to the home screen. What can i do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shriom_manerker:
flash vanir 4.3.1 build nightlies, you'll be SHOCKED on how fast it is,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TurbineTester:
I've falshed it and i'm getting all my apps installed on it now to give it a go.

Do all ROM's get slower as you install more apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
Yes, and from my perspective it's because many apps you install tend to automatically start as you e.g. power up the phone, turn on WiFi/data, etc. and then they keep running and taking CPU time and RAM in the background. Common task killers won't solve this easily. Best way to verify is to stop everything possible from Settings-Apps-Running.

Sent from Samsung Captivate Glide @ CM10.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shriom_manerker:
yes and no, yes if you install apps that sit in the background and start using data,check for updates constantly like facebook, the best thing to do is to use greenify and greenify that app so that it doesnt wake up your device and start eating ram n data. also note that if u do this to messenger apps you wont get notifications unless you open the app :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TurbineTester:
I've got all my apps up and runnign on Vanir now, and i will agree that it is far snappier than AOKP. However it has frozen on me twice. And i mean a hard freeze. Screen got stuck, audio looping on last few milisecs of sound and i had to pull the battery to get it out of the freeze.

Today, i got the first dose of it being slow like AOKP again. It was while it was charging in my car dock and i was trying to dial a phone number using rocket dial.

What are some typical apps that i should try to greenify? Sounds like i shouldn't greenify anything i want notificatinos from like phone, messaging and email. Anything else i should greenify or not greenify? Any tips on the freezing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shriom_manerker:
wow thats very weird ! one thing ive noticed is that if your internal storage (sdcard) space is less than 5 gb the phone tends to slow down. im guessing you fall under this criteria. ive never had any lags or freezes on vanir's builds till today, if you want the most stable build of 4.3 its the 26/10/2013 nightly by newclearmistake. ive found that as the most stable one and reliable one till now :)
[HTC Butterfly] wurealm:
After OTA updating stock 4.1 to 4.2, there is no sound when I use the built-in Music app on speakers. Playing the same with the Google music has sound, playing the same with the Music app with headphone is ok, only the speaker is muted... Any clue guys, did you noticed like so?

And I don't want to use other third party software for this issue like SoundAbout or something ...

And no cach cleaning resolve this only the phone reboot.

EDIT:

Third party VOIP apps that use system sounds gave this error, so disabling it the issue is solved.
