[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I don't doubt at all that your description of your experience(s) are anything but truthful.

And I don't doubt that some handsets are better than others when it comes to raw RF signal strength. For instance, (older gear) the Samsung Galaxy Fascinate had simply horrid GPS reception at a time when handsets and GPS receivers from other OEM vendors (and far less expensive devices, I might add) were perfectly fine. You couldn't get a reliable lock inside a vehicle, and you could barely get one with a completely clear sky to the horizon in 360 degrees.

The thing is, Samsung isn't making the radio silicon nor the radio firmware; so in the case of the Note 3, if there is a different vendor using the same Qualcomm MSM8974/S800 SOC with better reception, that would probably imply that Samsung sucks at understanding antenna modeling or RF interconnect modeling... or they just don't care enough in their rush to get their devices to market.

The other thing to consider is that the decision space that a handset needs to operate in is pretty complicated, as there are both 4G and 3G bands available, variable block resource allocations, variable coding & modulation schemes, etc, and the ability to switch between them in agile fashion might mean that there is a lot of stuff going on thousands of times per second - while the little idiot light in the notification bar probably only gets updated on the order of once a second. I suppose it is feasible that in fringe LTE reception areas it might even be possible that reversion to 3G produces better bandwidth in some situations (neither LTE nor EVDO are "all-or-nothing" affairs when it comes to bandwidth). If that were indeed the case, the fact that "4G" didn't show up on the device's notification bar might not mean too much.

In any event, a better comparative measure of handset performance would be actual data transfer rates measured at the same (weak signal) locations throughout different times of the day (to avoid confusing a transient cell congestion or interference issue as being the fault of a specific handset being tested). Then we'd be looking at what is really important to folks in that situation - actual bandwidth achieved instead of an indicator light status. I think that would be pretty diagnostic.

cheers
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodieism:
It's not really necessary. I've never had issues with the speed while the phone is in 4G at home. The problem comes from it constantly wanting to drop to 3G. The quality of my Netflix shows dropping is one of the things that tips me off to having been bumped to 3G. Lately I've been putting my sim card into the Razr while I'm home and turning on the wifi hotspot. That way I can just use wifi on the Note 3 to avoid the annoying 3G bumps and subsequent crappy Netflix resolution. While I suppose I could go through the trouble of testing the different handset speeds in the same location at different times of the day, I have a suspicion that the download speeds will be similar if they both happen to be in 4G during the test. In fact, I wouldn't even be surprised if the Note 3 is faster while in 4G.

You can chalk it up to any reason you want, but in any event, my Note 3 can't hold onto a weak 4G signal anywhere near as good as any of my previous phones.

Hey guys,

I have a 2 GB mini SD that was acting up, so I went to format it and everything went smoothly until I realized that my card reader only supported 1 GB cards.

So now I have half of my card sitting around being wasted.

What card readers/work arounds do you guys use? Any generic drivers I could use to enable 2 gb fuctions from my reader?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Evera:
Can't you just transfer items through your Wizard?

--edit--

Nvm, reread your post ^^;;

Anyway, what brand 2gb is it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sh500:
Yes, tell us the brand of card and the card reader. I thought most modern card readers would be capable of reading 2, 4 or even greater size cards.

Although it may be cheaper just to get a new card reader, try the attached utililty first.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ChristopherTD:
My brand new Belkin Media Reader wouldn't read a 2GB card, but a cheapo 6-in1 media reader from Jessps (UK store) works fine.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] 3waygeek:
Try using Pocket Mechanic on the Wizard, or pick up a Iogear GFR201SDM (a usb thumb drive you can stick a MiniSD card into) at your local CompUSA -- it'll set you back about $10.00.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fone_fanatic:
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/

This program allows you to swith between activesync mode and card export mode. When in card export and you plug your device into a pc via usb it detects it as a "USB Mass Storage". So it makes your wizard's storage card like one of those USB Jumpdisks. Thats what i used last a couple of days ago when my card got corrupted and had to reformat.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] daniel.a.rezende:
I tried this software but in the windows device manager , the USB mass storage device appears with a "!" ... in the device detais an error message appears "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" ... have any idea about this ???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drewcam888:
So I accidently did a TWRP backup to internal storage. According to setting then storage I have 5gb of misc being used. But for the life of my I can't the backup to delete it. internal sd card then twrp only has a 7kb size file. I even went to twrp and cleared internal storage. under storage I still have 5gb plus of files using up my space. any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drewcam888:
anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
If you haven't renamed anything, it should simply be on the root of your internal sd card. Try searching for 'twrp' while you are on your internal with ES.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drewcam888:
I have used root explorer and there is nothing on the internal card that is visible. the os still thinks I have 5gb of misc files there. but I find only a couple megs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
Are you on 4.1.2 or 4.3? And if you're on 4.3, did you wipe internal memory when upgrading?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drewcam888:
Yes I am using 4.3. I did wipe internal card but the 5gb of misc is still present.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
Hmm, seems odd that a reformat of the internal sd card wouldn't take care of that. Personally I'd probably back up to external card and format internal again, possibly with a different recovery if twrp is still causing issues for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drewcam888:
if I click on the 5gb misc section only some folders with kb of info I just recleared internal storagr again. and it is still the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
Pretty sure you're OK after looking at that. Miscellaneous files include all system and app data once uncompressed. Mine is also in the mid 5.5 gb range.

Edit: if anyone else wants to weigh in that would be helpful to get another person's sd card size for misc.

I just installed the Google Edition rom on my new s4 and data is having a lot of problems I know calls don't work on LTE but instead of switching to 3g data goes off completely and then does not go back on for a long time... And I have to toggle the data on and off many times till it works again... This might be a problem on all aosp ROMs since this is the first one I tried on the s4 I came from an s3

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Melamunna:
I'm so confused by exactly which of the 4 N5 spigen cases to choose from- they are all in the same price range and sort of look the same (except the ultra thin air one which is solely transparent)

If I'm looking for something thin that protects the screen- can anyone point me to which of those I'm looking for? And if it protects the screen- is it an inbuilt screen protector or a separate screen protector comes with it?

Also- chose spigen over ballistic because it doesn't appear they are selling N5 cases any more?? Why pull out so soon?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] honeybunchie:
The only protection you're getting for the screen is the lip that raises the device when you set it facedown. Theres another product called the Rhinoshield which is a glass screen protector which will shatter instead of your phone screen if dropped. If I were you I wouldn't get the neo hybrid because of its square form making it awkward to hold and extremely uncomfortable. Rounded back da best. Other than that most cases have a lip and you should be fine based on personal preference.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 95Z28:
I got the ultra fit off eBay for 8 bucks. It included a good quality hard screen protector. I like the minimalist design and the feel of it. Obviously it won't really protect your screen from a drop, but its good scratch protection which is all I require.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ctscloud:
The ultra fit is good but it can damage your phone's corners - especially if you have the black N5. It requires a specific install method. I had this problem and Spigen hasn't responded in over a week. Just FYI if something happens to your device.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Melamunna:
Thanks for the suggestions guys- I definitely like the idea of the rhinoshield as well.

[MENTION=4178676]ctscloud[/MENTION] What difference is there between the black and white N5 that would make it more susceptible to damage?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] twister99403:
I know its not spigen but I have the diztronic case and the zagg shield and its a match made in heaven :)

Hope you can make it work :)
[Android Apps and Games] devadvance:
Not what is supposed to happen. However, that does mean that the method Yelo is using us covered by RootCloak Plus, I just have to figure out what the expected behavior is that I'm currently changing too much.

Odd. Well, if its not installed....there's no need to change it I suppose. Not sure how that's the case though, since 4.3+ should at least have it on there. :confused:

Not sure if anyone has tried it yet. The original RootCloak was working for some people, and and since this hides all of the same stuff and more, it should theoretically work.

I'll have to look into this. I've been running Xposed and Cydia Substrate at the same time during most of my testing, so I'm not sure why that's happening. May be an issue with Cydia Substrate.

Does it alert you when you first open the app, or after you try putting in your acct details?
