Well, less than 13 hours to go. Certainly there will be much overlap with S7 edge but that is not a bad thing. Hopefully screen will be a little bigger and have a flatter profile than S7. I think it will have a different feel. I'm actually getting a little excited about it. Bootloader issue could sink things but at least it's water proof!

Now that Samsung isn't supporting older versions of Milk Music I'm guessing I'm going to have to get a new note. Unfortunately comma I'll have to load all of my music onto my phone using the micro SD card.

They're giving this away as promo? Or you're just saying that it'd be a great giveaway?.

I really like the evo plus line of cards. Been working great so far with my edge and I used it on my note 5 with a dongle and worked good N fast. More than I can say about my sandisks.

Wish I had the 256 (whoa, that's 249 chucks for that card!?)but the 128 is enough for now. :) Maybe in my, ahem, note 7.. maybe.

And it's only 41 bones for the 128gb on Amazon right meow!. I might get one for my android TVbox. It's $89 on Sammy site.

You don't like Spotify?

With a family account, I pay 14.99 for 5 accounts. 3 of us split the bill and I gifted the other two accounts. Worth it for me since I use it all day every day :) Pandora doesn't cut it for me, and I have already filled up the 50,000 tracks Google Music allows us to upload... I just think the Spotify app sucks. The Service I like tho.

I don't like paying for streaming music that's commercial free. I have XM but the selection is muddied and they play pretty much the same songs.

SO i grabbed a hacked pandora. It's mostly for the gym.

I'd need an SD card to load my music, the on-board space films up too quickly.

1st world problems! Ha ha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
I understand, but wouldn't you like to be able to pick any album by any artist and play it in order, randomly, or save to your device? So much control. Unless Pandora does this now. Last I used it, it only played random music based off a selected artist. But hey, whatever keeps the savage beast at bay ;) I listen to so much music that I need at least 4 music apps. GooglePlayMusic for my almost 3TB of mp3 on PC (which actually got corupted, so I'm glad I backed them all to GooglePlayMusic), Spotify,Soundcloud,PowerAmp and Bandcamp are my favorites. I like turtles.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Still wondering about the locked bootloader issue (if that is the case). It seems like the Samsung user interfaces is improving with each iteration. Wondering if I need a custom rom at this point. Prefer to remove needless bloatware. Like having root so I can use Xposed. Don't think I need the iris scanner. Expandable memory is a must. Like the spen magnification feature. Allows more content on screen. Leaning towards getting it but there will be trade-offs. Coming from the Note Edge, maybe the pluses out weigh the minuses. For those with a Note 5 I could see that the upgrade may not be enough. Especially if several of the features can be ported over. Although you will regret not getting it if you drop your phone in the toilet!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 954wrecker:
I would be 100% in if i could get the good unlocked international version to work with my silly free sprint phone service. RingPlus gives me 4000 minutes/texts/megs for $0 a month. It's about to go up to 6000 megs tonight. In truth I honestIy only use about 1500 megs a month away from wifi anyways. I just wish samsung was like nexus and moto and did a universal unlocked version for the USA.

I know samsung dropped an unlocked s7 edge the 935U but thats the snapdragon and probably a locked bootloader. I want the exynos version with an unlocked bootloader and radios for that kinda cash.

---------- Post added at 06:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 AM ----------

It would be very cool if one or all of the carriers started shipping the pre orders today so people get them before this weekend.

Best buy is the only place you get the phone and the free item in person. The other options are all running through samsung promotions so they take a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
Yyyyeeeeeaaaaahhhh, After reading the hands on I think I'll pass. It doesn't seem like much of an upgrade, but for Note 4 users it would be.

Well, in the spirit of the upcoming Olympics, it looks like if you want the go for the gold, you'd have to get the international version. Is there a noticeable improvement in performance with exynos over snapdragon? Years ago, when I bought the original Note it was the international version. It had FM radio. It worked fine on T-Mobile then (bought it before they started selling it).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 954wrecker:
I like the looks of that olympic one but I feel its just a sim unlocked and way overpriced Sprint version.

Exynos has been tearing up snapdragon in performance and battery and memory management for years now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Thanks. Just checked out a comparison on gsmarena. Looks like memory management is quite a bit better on exynos. Definitely would prefer that as I multi-task a lot. One comment is that Samsung pay will not work in US with international version. Not a deal breaker for me at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 954wrecker:
Root, ROM, Exynos crush the usefulness of samsungpay. I'd say either one of the above crush samsung pay, together they Demolish that POS!

For $850 plus tax I dont want the redheaded step child version of a phone that gets locked in its room forever.

I must admit I do enjoy the free promo money I have gotten from Samsung running constant promos to get people hooked on it. 777 was fun and easy free money. Amex had a few, samsung pretty much just gave away a few for free. Thats the only nice thing I have to say for my time with a 2 verizon s6 edges.

Well, there is something to be said about precious bodily fluids.

So anyone try out the Note 7? After checking it out I learned to appreciate my Note Edge even more. In other words, I was underwhelmed by the Note 7. Granted it was a display model (I tried one at Costco and at Best Buy today).I was not particularly impressed by its performance. Camera is better but over saturated colors. My Note edge was more true to the original lighting. Maybe that can be adjusted. Icons are better designed and coordinated than earlier tw versions but that can be done with an app like unicon. The biggest disappoint for me is the screen aspect ratio. It width is too narrow relative to the height. Maybe thats just me. Unless I'm missing something, its not worth shelling out $750. Of course getting the 256GB sd card can make it enticing. That's a $200+ value. Will root be achievable? Seems like I'll have to go without the the spen magnification feature for now... Will have to settle for pinch and zoom...

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

If the oneplus had the radios of a nexus or moto to use on any US carrier I would think it was an easy choice. $850+ or $400+ it tells me I'm just paying for a ton of samsung ads and gimmicks I don't need or want.

Something seems fishy with Samsung and those new screens to me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
I understand, but the screen size is what that measurement is.

When it comes down to it, it's about what works best for you. I like large phones. I've tried 5.5" screens and I'm not okay with it.

The oneplus 3 should be a good phone, but it's not stock Android.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Of course, going by the diagonal size is not the whole story. The Note 7, and Note 5 both claim to have 5.7 inch screens (diagonal wise).

The original Note was 5.3 inches and the Note Edge is 5.6. Both the original Note and the Note edge, despite having smaller a diagonal have wider screens than the Note 5 and 7. What the manufacturer should provide is the height and width of the screen in the specs. Not the diagonal as that alone can be misleading. My preference is for the wider screen of the Original Note and Note Edge as I find I'm on more productive and it is better for reading (at least for me). Thats one of the reasons I'm finding it tough to spend anything on the Note 7. I could see buying it to get the 256GB micro sd card and then selling it, maybe for $100 less, and coming out ahead.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tdgillihan:
Note 3 was my last Sammy. Note 4 was last real Note device imo. My wife has an S5 which is the last real Galaxy device for people like us imo. As far as I'm concerned, Sammy can go pound sand for as much as they have locked people like us out. I'm actually following the ZTE Axon 7 and even though they haven't been the most dev friendly OEM in the past they definitely have shown themselves to be responsive with the A7 so far. We'll see how far it goes. If things pan out the way they look to, I'll probably get one. So far, though there's not much to see, I haven't been impressed by Nexus this year yet either.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Ok with wifi calling on and data off it sends every time. I sent 4 seperate mms and it worked with all 4. Im ok with that but I have 2 questions if someone could help...

1) was there ever a quick toggle in the notification header for wifi calling? Reason I ask is just like the Data toggle I added maybe I can do so for wificalling also. If not would it be feasible to have one on Tweaked?

2) I have an adiction of turning data off when I have a wifi connection from verizon when I didnt have unlimited that why added the Data toggle. Is there any more battery drain from having wificalling activated and does it use more resources as oppose to just using data?

If so than issue closed ill just leave data on all the time. If there is some savings than it may be worth the trouble of toggling data off and maybe adding a toggle for wificalling. Watch you guys think?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
There has never been a native-to-TMobile Wifi Calling toggle (though I did make one for Note 2 Tweaked - not sure if it will be possible here yet... as I haven't looked in SystemUI yet...). I could also look into seeing if I can make data flip on for an mms when one is needed (sounds familiar...). As to the battery drain... I have enough experience with that to feel confident weighing in on the topic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
I guess the data flip is probably the way to go. My experience I dont use wifi calling at all as I have perfect service where I live so the toggle would be a waste for me. It may be beneficial to someone who uses it a lot as it is a bit buried in the settings unless you leave it on all the time. As for the battery savings it would bring or not bring im gonna do a bit of research and see if I can come up with some real data.

Nice work on all of this [MENTION=5108383]sshafranko[/MENTION] - I plan on using your findings as a starting point for getting a "base" together and organizing things for eventual aroma-ish setup :)

Just throwing this out there - if you grab an app like terminal emulator, you could do something like the following:

ls /storage/extSdCard/SystemBloat/ > /storage/extSdCard/bloatlist.txt

That would throw a list out in to a text file called bloatlist on your external sdcard - might beat all the screenshots in terms of simplicity as the list grows :)

Also - that command assumes no space between System and Bloat - if there is one it would be something more like:

ls /storage/extSdCard/System\ Bloat/ > /storage/extSdCard/bloatlist.txt

Just thought I'd share.

As a general update - I've been trying to do all things not related to 2 important files (android.policy and SystemUI), leaving the hardest parts for last. I have 2-4 apks to do minor things to still, but once those are done I will be to that final 2 (really its 3 because of some important connections) files.

Of course that's just the modding side of things - there's still a ton of work to do on the packaging side - work that is being aided considerably through what has been shared in this thread!
