[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeonlab:
Finally, I registered today and this is my first post!

I have read this forum for some time and searched not only this forum but googled but couldn't find clear answers for my questions on the BeanStalk ROM which I love so much. I have tried bunch of other ROMs but none of them satisfied me in terms of stability.

Here are issues of the Beanstalk ROM on my Galaxy Note (Telus) and questions.

4.3 (tested latest few builds)

1. With turnning off most of options such as phone, data, wifi, NFC (annoying, default should be disabled for me), the battery life is good

2. Under the battery usage graph, Awake is off when it is supposed to be for example at night in sleep setting as mentioned above.

3. Sometimes, the screen won’t turn off automatically after set time-out, for example 1min, and even with the power button. Reboot or reboot in recovery mode doesn't help. This happened this afternoon at work and had to power off until coming back home to re-flash. Does anyone knows why this happens and how to fix it?

4.4 (tested latest few builds)

1. I also tried to turn off all the communications and wake up settings (same as I have done with 4.3), but couldn't make the Awake bar in the Battery graph off. Something seems to keep waking the phone. Couldn't find what it was so far. Any idea?

2. Well, this is known issue, but the video recording doesn’t work. The latest build released yesterday seems to find a work around with Camera MX though.

If the 'Awake' issue can be fixed, I would be happy with 4.4.

I'm not a big fan of NFC and looks to me just a battery drainer, but it keeps turnning back on after uncheck. One tip to fix this (bad) behavior I found somewhere in this forum was to uncheck and without leaving the setting screen and reboot using power button.

Hope someone can answer my questions.

Thanks.

Stock Video Camera patch by polluti0n

In the beanstalk developing thread there's a patch by polluti0n fixing issues with the stock camera.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2535857&highlight=video+recording+patch&page=61

I see it's late since you've asked but I'm new here myself and while looking for answers to some questions I had I saw your thread, so hope it helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeonlab:
Thank you for your reply. Since I posted these questions, there were few times of Beanstalk ROM updates and now my phone is very stable. I'm very happy with the last build. I'm also using polluti0n's patch for the video issue. Since I updated the build on 3/7, there has not been a single reboot. So far soooo good. As a new member with less than 10 posts, I can't post any reply and thank Patch Adams for his great work. I could just click the Thank button.

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wavv.drama:
Glad to see that more and more people are following the patch's thread with beanstalk for the i717, and also glad to hear your phone is working fine. I also suffer from the junior member restriction so I read and try and see what I can do to follow quietly but see if eventually could be of some help. As a kind of fyi you might wanna see what I believe they might work on from the most recent comments in the beanstalk i717 thread:

galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-roms/beanstalk-rom-with-android-4-4-2-for-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100sgh-t989

I found this while trying to find beanstalk for a friend who has an S2 T989 and realized that the version they have there is using diablo kernel rather than CM or PAC.. from the time I had to play around with it while I flashed it on my friends S2 it seems to be very smooth, like the one patch built for the i717. Pollution was mentioning something about maybe using diablo on the next build, so we'll see if it happens. Also, although totally unrelated I realized that the version used on the link above from galaxys2root is slightly more advanced build-wise than the version here.

Enjoy your day!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeonlab:
Thank you for your reply. I'm also glad to see more people who has i717 are interested in Beanstalk ROM. I have flashed so many ROMs for far whenever it gives me an error or reboots but Beanstalk is the longest one I'm using right now. I also expecting better versions with the new builds with diablo kernal or the updated CM (hopefully with video recording).

Cheers!

Camera MX

Hi! So the last thing you want to see is a reply saying I have the same issues. I was wondering what Camera MX is? My phone will not record on BS either along with youtube and any other video unable to play. It just keeps loading until it gives up. I noticed you hadn't listed youtube videos as a problem. Did you find a fix for it? Ill post back if I find anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeonlab:
Currently, I have the latest Beanstalk ROM 4.4.4 (7/11 version) with polluti0n camera patch and the camera works fine with video recording. :good:
[Networking] davidbaumann:
hey guys

if I bought a PocketPC with Wireless Lan and an Internetconnection, is there a way to let it share the Connection WirelessLan, Just like Internet Connection Sharing from Windows?

Won't need a DHCP or DNS Proxy, but sharing would be nice

David
[Networking] trixter:
inet sharing

odds are oyu will need something that will do NAT so that the 1 IP you have on 3g will work for all systems accessing. Additionally if you want to make the phone work as an AP and not in ad-hoc mode you wil need software to do that too. Normally the AP software requires a driver change since you have to be able to talk directly to the card to get it to send beacon frames and such, ad-hoc should work though you just may not have as much performance.

As for NAT I dont know of any tools, but in theory they can be written since it would interface similar to how some of the WM5 firewalls work. These are normally kernel level drivers not userspace apps, so its a little more tricky than writing something else.

A really cheap way to do this would be to run a proxy server, but that would limit you to only protocols that support sending the host the connection attempt is for, such as HTTP.

If anyone knows of a NAT stack for WM5 I would relaly like to hear about it.

Thanks to TMO uncarrier thingy

YMMV but ~$200 statement credits, early upgrade and free feature packages are given out.

Read wiki throughout and be nice, patient over the phone.

Uh.. it is not related. Did you read the link?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Solarenemy68:
It is related because you are threatening AT&T with the exact program to get them to lower your rates. Also truth be told just tell them you need your rates lowed and they will. You don't need to tell them you are leaving. They put you in a high rate tier on purpose so they have some bargaining room if they need it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Radukk:
Okay the post you linked didn't mention any of your reply. It is just about TMO promotion. OP is about ATT offering bill credit and early upgrade and not about change to lower rate plan. I don't know why I should explain this anyway.

I laugh at the fool that tries this and At&t says bye bye. Go have fun with T-mobile, and their lack of coverage areas, worthless customer service, and constant throttling of your network speeds. Lol

That fool would be me. I guess the rep took a look at my account and didn't offer any discount what's so ever. I called asking what my ETF would be for my two lines and mention the T Mobile promo. She put me on hold for a few minutes and came back with my amount. But of course I have 2 unlimited data plan which I guess At&t wouldn't mind getting rid of.

[MENTION=4340249]duhbanjopicker[/MENTION] that sucks man that tmobile does that for you. i dont think you are special to them or something, because i have unlimited data all the way, no speed throttle
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mircury:
I love what this is doing for the industry. If you look at the earnings reports for the big wireless industry players they even have a metric for how much they are screwing their customers. It's called the ARPU or average revenue per user. If it doesn't go up then they aren't doing a very good job. Tmobile is single handedly attacking the areas of the industry that have the highest margins. It's going to be great to be a consumer the next few years if this keeps up. Competition is heating up.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] duhbanjopicker:
"Special to them"?????????:confused: I'm not "special" to anyone, corporate. My opinion is T-Mobile SUCKS. Please pardon my scream. But I personally had a terrible experience with T-Mobile. To those who have good service and a good experience more power to ya. But this promotion will not move me away from At&t. I have 3 unlimited data plans, unlimited text, mobile to mobile, and 1400 anytime at around $150.00...... No thanks T-mobile!!!!! Nice try though!!

If there's a positive in this deal, your analysis is spot on IMO!!!! Hopefully this isn't some scheme, to move all of these customers away and then say Sprint and T-Mobile merge. That would not be good!

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

They are wanting you to go to T-Mobile in hopes you hate them so bad you have to come back. That way you've lost your unlimited data plan.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sodomanaz:
I chatted with AT&T to see if they could come anywhere near T-mobiles price ( currently I pay for 3 phones on family plan, $175 after 17% premier discount w/3 subsidized phones). Nope.

Even with 3 phones on their payment plan, it's $90 service + ~$24x3 phones = $162

What really got me annoyed was when I asked simply if they are going to lock the bootloaders on every future Android phone. The rep answered that they most likely would and stated that he had the Note 3 on T-Mobile and knows for a fact that their bootloader is locked too. :rolleyes:

After 10 years, I'm going to jump.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
I called AT&T on behalf of my mother-in-law. Her account has a subsidized Note 3, iP5c, a G-Tab 7 that was free with the N3, and an older iPhone that has 11 months remaining on its contract; all on a 10GB Mobile Share data plan. The N3, G-Tab 7, and iP5c were all added to the account within the past 60 days.

Without much effort I was offered $45 in billing credit each month for three months. I asked about an early upgrade for the older iPhone and was offered a N3 for $99. That's a no-go because my father-in-law's not about to learn Android. They made a note on the account that the older iPhone can be upgraded to another iPhone when it hits six months remaining on its contract. The rep was nice and you can tell AT&T's serious about not losing (certain) customers to T-Mobile. I'm guessing there using some type of tool to figure out what a customer's worth to figure out what if anything to offer to retain them.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LordGeek:
Hmm.. maybe I'll give them a buzz when I get home.. like to see what they can do with 6 smartphones and 2 tablets on a 6GB Share Plan.. current, I'm at $346 per month !!

So can this benefit a person like me in any way, (who just signed a new 2yr the day b4 thanksgiving?)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ideas4ya:
Yes!! I started service in Sept of last year. I just called and they gave me a discount on my data plan and offered me $45 discount. I don't know if it'll be for 3 months. I didn't care as long as they lowered my data plan. I guess there are multiple options they can provide. I just told them I walked into a T-Mobile store and inquired about a phone. Rep asked me if I liked the service of AT&T. I said yes and he put me on hold...the rest is history!!

It worked for me!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] frome901:
I tried to get them to pop a discount over chat with no luck. Ill be calling them tomorrow

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lyndone58:
Called today and received $25 credit for 3 months and free unlimited text for 6 months.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] futango:
I did this last Sunday. Called in. Told them about the tmobile promo. I was on the 450minute plan. Was able to get a 300minute plan since i dont use all my minutes anyways and got to keep my 4k roll over. Free unlimited text for 6 months. Data upgrade to 5GB for the 3GB price. My account is only 11 months old and I was able to get an early phone upgrade. Got the Note 3.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bob Simons:
I got a big discount for buying a phone at full price

I want to stay with AT&T mainly because their coverage is best where I am but I didn't want a locked bootloader so I wanted their service but not their phone. I called AT&T and asked for a few hundred dollars off to make up the cost of a retail, full price T-Mobile N900T as mircury describes in his post. I was transferred around for close to a half hour but in the end I was offered $460 over 2 years which I thought was fair, and frankly much more than I expected. All in all, I'm happy. See the T-Mobile Note 3 (N900T) on AT&T thread for the story there.

The backstory is I had bought and returned an i337 S4 from Costco, which has a 90 day full cash back policy, but AT&T does not refund the "upgrade" eligibility after 14 days. So even though I returned the phone, I could not get another rebate/subsidy for another 18 months or so, given the early upgrade they still give some users. Since I didn't want the 900A due to the bootloader issues I wanted to see how good a deal I could get.

The offer was in several parts. My family has two iPhones and one Android phone. I have two unlimited $30 a month plans, and one $20/month data plan on the third phone. So I don't have or want a shared data plan. But I do have shared text, and shared voice. For now, I'm trying to keep the grandfathered plans even with the throttling. The "retention" rep took some time to understand that and then came back with a proposal.

First, she took $100 off the current invoice, and then took $10 off the unlimited texting plan indefinitely, making it $20 a month. She said it would be indefinite. Then she took $10 a month on the shared voice package for one year. So that's $100 plus $10 per month for the relevant two year period (although it continues) plus one year of discount on the voice plan. Which is $460. I explained that I returned the S4 because of the after-purchase locked bootloader and didn't want the 900A because it came out of the box with the locked bootloader and she said that it was a legitimate reason for getting a 900T for use on AT&T.

She was so reasonable that I was looking for some sign that she was trying to trick me but it appears to be what she said. I wont know until the new bill comes and of course, wont know for sure until the 2 years are up but it looks good so far.

So I don't know if this only happened because I'm locked out of a "free" upgrade due to the returned Costco S4 or due to the explanation/argument but I recommend asking for a deal. You never get one if you don't ask.

I had great luck! I called and explained I had 4 lines but 2 were suspended that I didnt use but that were still under contract and wanted know if he coukd help...in ten min I had two lines cancelled and both etfs took off...also reimbursed the 20$ a month I had paid for them since they had been suspened which covered jan bill and then some so ty att:)

I was able to get $30 off my unlimited text messaging for 6 months and $10 off for a year. Not too shabby! :D

Honesty

I took the kind approach... I was not demanding or argumentative with them. I just simply told them I love at&t and the service they provide but I did see an add on TV about T-mobile and wanted to know if they could offer a discount to our service... Here's what my wife and I received:

On my att next plan, I receved $15 off each moth

On my wifes 2 year contract, she received $30 off each month + no more 2 year contract

$30 off my bill this month

early upgrade for my wifes phone

I told them I was very satisfied and would recommend others to get AT&T.

Called today and got a galaxy gear for $50, moved my wife's upgrade up 6 months but no credits. (They did just credit us 3 activation fees and some overage charges a few weeks ago though)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Limeybastard:
I also took the kind approach, since I have never had any issues with ATT. However, money talks and else flies, made the switch to T Mobile yesterday and never been more blessed.Could not care less about about coverage and so on. I currently do not have to worry about overages any more nor limits. That in itself makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Plus I do not have to wait 24 months for upgrades, thank you John Legere ( man with iron balls ).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] S197Mike:
so I tried to do this to see if I would get the same results as everyone else. Well i kind of did. I have the old mobile share plan, I had mention to the customer service rep I was looking at ways to save on my wireless bill and that I like AT&T but that I recently saw the ad for T-Mobile and was looking at making the switch. I had asked if they could help me on saving any money before I decided on making the switch. (which I really wasnt gonna do) Well they looked at their options they said they couldnt do much, I had then repeated about the T-Mobile ad, still nothing, after that I had then mentioned I was gonna look at leaving AT&T for T-mobile. The rep had then said maybe their "some sort of specialist" would take a look at the account for me. Got directed through to the specialist, told the girl I was looking at ways to save on my wireless bill, that tmobile was offering a promotion to switch to their network and that I could get new phones for pretty much everyone in my family. Well she looked at my plan, still nothing, she then looked in the the new mobile share plan and compared it to the tmobile plan, she pretty much said tmobile would cost me more than im currently paying, and the cons of why I shouldnt switched. She then had asked, was I calling to save money or was it to get an upgrade to new phones. I had wanted to the save the money but ultimately i wanted early upgrades. She was able to break contract for my dads line which isnt up till oct '14, for a new 2 year contract. I wanted the S4 but she said the phone was 150, I really didnt want to pay that much cause everyone is selling s4 for like 50-100 bucks these days, that the only thing standing in my way was the contract im currently on. well she then said if i could get the phone for 50 bucks would I stay, i said yes. So she made the deal happen, in the mean time I also got 2 of my other lines upgrade eligible for 2 year contract phones through the customer service rep. both contracts arent up till may and march '15. so in the end i didnt save any money. but i did get 3 early upgrades at 2 year contract price when i decide to buy them.

Id say it was worth my 45 min time to save 100 bucks on a new phone, as well as the ability to early upgrade when I decide too, cause lets just say ive had every known flagship phone in the past year, 5 phones to be exact. so the ability to upgrade 2 lines when i want to, is definitly worth the phone call.

The fool is you sir, I pay 78 for unlimited lte and insurance

unless you travel and need good sign like from verizon there no need to pay high plan

When you can have unlimited if you have good coverage in your area
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] duhbanjopicker:
I would reply, but i cant understand what you're saying. But I have unlimited everything on 2 lines and I'm paying $150 a month on At&t, there's no way I would leave At&t, who has the fastest and most reliable LTE network for T-Mobile and their crappy 4G they call LTE. No thanks SIR. To each their own. Whatever makes you happy SIR!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrej201:
u must be blind as a bat

just because you have unlimited lte doesn't mean other att customer do most of the are suffering paying high price for 2 gb of data
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] siralsmooth:
I was a loyal at&t customer for around 11 years. I did the upgrade to the N3 and got on the LTE bandwagon, while keeping my grandfathered unlimited data plan. In the past, received the throttle warning once, despite having usage in the 5-12GB range monthly. Hit the throttle limit around the 8GB mark. Called to see what could be done, made mention of the fact that I will cancel my service and change carriers if something wasn't done. 2 calls with 2 different reps, even pointing out the fact of my 11 year loyalty, and got nothing. Was told I had 11 days until my speed would return to normal and I would just have to deal with it. When I went to the store to make the return, the manager had the nerve to say he would have throttled me too for such excessive usage. Seriously? Not what I ever expected from at&t. So I made the switch to T-Mobile and haven't looked back. LTE speeds are about the same, even better in some areas. And I'll deal with slower data when LTE isn't around because my unlimited plan stays unlimited.

Also, worth noting, prior to my throttling I had called twice to attempt to redeem the galaxy gear promo. Also got nowhere with that as well, even though many others were able to get this promo. Go figure.

Just curious to know what market you're in seeing speeds like this. South chicagoland are and the best I ever seen was 28mbps.

Already bested that with T-Mobile with 39mbps.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] duhbanjopicker:
Guys, don't get me wrong. I'm not hating. I had a terrible experience with T-Mobile, and will never under any circumstances ever ever ever go back. Those are awesome speeds. Good luck. Eat some lettuce!!

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bruce0750:
yeah here's what I got, 50 off the monthly bill for 3 months starting next month. Going to call again once the 3-month period is over. I have done this couple times for my ATT DSL already, once the discount is over I would call again to get a new discount for my DSL, and they would do it every time. Damn, gotta love market competition, so glad that ATT couldn't merge with T-Mobile.
