[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
You could have a scan on gsmarena they detail frequencies on the different models.

Yeah it's definitely an expensive error for sure, assume T - Mobile aren't too keen to help at all then?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
No, T-Mobile won't give me any info because i'm not the original account holder for the phone. T-Mobile will probably go after that person, but it's probably just a tax write off for them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMXO:
Try RegionLock away on Play store or buy an unlock code then try with a pre-paid service. GL
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Won't help.... Phone has been blacklisted...

Unless you can get the carrier to take it off the blacklist it won't be allowed to connect to any network in that country (theoretically)...

Just a thought though - if the phone hasn't been paid for to the carrier, it's on the blacklist and you are caught trying to use it, you may find yourself charged with possession of stolen goods... Unless you have a receipt that states it was sold to you. Either way though you will loose the phone...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostmore:
bad luck for you.

But i can tell you a thing or 2 about selling phone internationally.

your t-mobile fone can be used here in SEA region and for the N3 its probably multi band.so selling it internationally shouldn't be an issue for you.but you'll probably want to sell it at a huge discount.

from past experience,t-mobile's GSM frequency is the same as those in my country and i have no issues using T-mo fone here.my signature should tell you what t-mo fones i had.but i cannot say if the 4g band is the same though.so dun worry about the GSM band being compatible or not,that's the buyer's responsibility.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_frequency_bands)

i am not sure if there is a way to sim unlock your fone without having to buy a unlock code(i noe the sensation 4g had a way to remove sim lock altogether),if you do find a way,there is no harm testing to see if you can still use the fone on other networks.

take it as a hard lesson learned bro but dun give up trying other ways to use your fone,i am pretty sure the journey is educational.like how i tried to make t-mo fones work in my country.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jowett69:
I might be wrong but its only blacklisted IMEI NUMBER? in UK its illegal to change it. But I think you end up selling it OK on ebay

with NO RETURNS OR REFUND!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Yes, I do have a receipt from both Paypal and Swappa. But I think would only work if it has been reported lost or stolen by the original owner. I don't think that's the case. T-Mobile said it was blocked for non-payment of EIP. Guess the guy just flipped the phone as soon as he signed the contract. People suck.

Yes, very educational. I used to buy my phone on Craigslist. I never once got scammed. But then Craigslist turned into Scam Central Station. So I went to Swappa because they use Paypal and I thought that would give me some protection. Turns out, the only way to ensure that you won't get a phone that will be blocked or blacklisted later is to get it directly from the source. It's turning out to be an expensive lesson. :crying:

How much of a discount do you normally get when you purchase a T-Mobile phone? I don't want to lose $200. It would make more sense to just get a cheap 4G phone and tether it to my Note 3 and use it as a little tablet.

Yes, I would have to do it that way, but i'm worried now about losing too much money trying to sell it. If I sell it internationally, I don't see why I should lose that much, since the T-Mobile block only applies to the US.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Another option?

I really don't want to lose my $30 5GB plan. I've been looking on Amazon and saw that they have some cheap T-Mobile 4G phones like this Nokia Lumia 521: http://goo.gl/KgvOgR

My thought is, I can purchase that, tether my Note 3 to it and keep using it. 90% of what I do on my Note 3 is data/browsing, gaming, etc. So if I can tether to the Lumia, I guess it would work.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FedUpx2:
Was the Paypal transaction a credit card one? If so, I would contact them directly (you may have recourse for up to 3 months?). I use Paypal but always use my credit card to pay for items and never my bank account because Paypal will not stand behind the purchase if they have a way out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
No, unfortunately, it was a bank account. Sigh...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
UPDATE

So here's an update on my situation.

After considering my options, I ordered a Straight Talk AT&T sim card a few days ago. It was only $7 with free shipping, so I figured I might as well give it a try. It got here today, so I got Chainfire's RegionLock Away app and followed the instructions here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2471742) to unlock my Note 3 using the Straight Talk sim card. Didn't have a single problem getting it unlocked. Total cost to unlock ~ $10.

Once it was unlocked, I signed up for the $45 Straight Talk plan (which ends up around $50 with taxes/fees), and after a couple of reboots, I have service. The service seems pretty fast, but I don't want to do a speedtest because it's just a waste of my limited data allotment. It shows as being 4G LTE, but I don't know if that's the case.

So, I pay $20 more for half the data, and I have a Note 3 that is worth considerably less than what I paid for it only a couple of months ago on Swappa. I've definitely learned a valuable lesson here. But at least I have a working phone, so there's that.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FedUpx2:
That's awesome and glad you are able to use the phone normally.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
Sorry to hear about your problems. Even though a couple people had the same issue with phones from Negri Electronics, mine purchased from Negri still says that the IMEI is not recognized when checked and it works fine on T-Mobile or AT&T (tested with sister's T-Mobile SIM and daily use with AT&T grandfathered Unlimited) with LTE. I am very happy. T-Mobile was going to make me spend $791 + at least 45 days of unwanted service before I could even request an unlock and they have 7 days to respond (52 days of unwanted service?). That's not a deal. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Well, i'm glad that Negri made someone happy. There were plenty of people on this forum who felt they were getting scammed by them and had to cancel preorders after waiting 3 weeks for a shipment that never happened.

You might feel you're getting a deal, and maybe you are, and i'm glad for you. But for me, as I said, I learned a very expensive lesson from my experiences with both Negri and Swappa. It's only a deal when it works out the way you want it to. When you get screwed like I did, it stops being a deal. Not only did my phone get blocked, I now pay more money for less service. The extra $100 in savings isn't worth the risk for me anymore.
[General Questions and Answers] Dan Law 001:
Hello, on my Note 2 running official CM 10.1, there are always only 3 cores that are active and one is always offline no matter what governor I used. So how can I make all the cores active or this is the characteristic of the kernel? Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Dan Law 001:
Cores setting
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
Your device doesn't necessarily need all four cores to run, the more cores that runs that means it'll need more power, hence the battery drain.

The phone sometimes only uses two cores or even one, depending on the task you're running or what tasks are you multitasking with.

It all really depends. I'm not a super tech guy, but I don't see it impossible to enable all four cores, but it just seems quite pointless.

[General Topics] imakul8:
I got a HTC One Max several days ago on the 2nd of January with One Up. I paid like $59.00 for the sales tax and walked out happily. On the 8th I decided to return the phone and get a Note 3. I was told that I would have to pay sales tax on the Note 3 as well and that the $59.00 I had paid previously would be applied to my account. I was given no choice in this matter. I did not like this at all as my bill was current. Not having the extra money I left again not so happy.

Today I return with money to cover the sales tax on the Note 3. The rep starts the swap and then informs me that the One Program ended today and that I would have to pay a down payment of $149.00+taxes equaling over $200. :eek: I was not ready for this whammy at all. The new program is called Easy Pay I think. To make a long story short, since I am tired of telling the story, I asked the manager and 2 supervisors at the cancellation department how can they just abruptly end the program when I am within my 14 day return period and not honor our agreement. I was told that it was not contractual and that it would fall under a refund since the program was ended. Both supervisors at cancellation just said they understood how I would be upset, but it was out of their hands...blamed it on the big wigs.

Then the manager decided to make a call. She talked to someone who said they would waive the fees as long as I got the same phone. I reluctantly agreed. One rep went to pick up the phone at another store. I waited about an hour until he returned. Now the other rep started the transfer again. Then he calls his manager who had let the building while I was waiting. He now tells me that they were mistaken and the fees could not be waived. I left the store with my Epic 4G Touch which I had left there 10 days earlier. Anyway, this is a bit of a vent and does not fully express my rage.

For what it's worthy,,,

I'm running CM11 (KK4.4.2) and using AnTuTu benchmark (excluding the graphic test since it failed), I got approx. 10% speed increase using ART compared to Dalvik. Remember though, this is a benchmark program. In real life I saw no difference. Big however.... many programs can't run in ART especially the Xposed system so I'm happy to stay in Dalvik mode.

Many thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thisnamestoolong:
I am thinking about switching to T-Mobile, and am very interested in the Galaxy S4, due to it being the only major flagship in the form factor I am looking for with a removable battery and SD slot. Unfortunately, everything about Touchwiz makes me want to vomit, so running stock is not even remotely an option for me. My questions are as follows:

1) Is there any way to get T-Mo to give me a phone that has not yet received the 4.3 update, so as to avoid Knox altogether?

2) If this is not possible, how stringent is T-Mo about checking and enforcing the Knox counter for obviously unrelated hardware warranty issues?

3a) Worst case scenario, what is the insurance deductible for this phone?

3b) If a warranty claim is denied, would I still be able to make an insurance claim?

3c) How long will it likely take to have a new phone in my hand were I to make an insurance claim?

EDIT: Forgot to add one bit:

4) The VZW GS3 that I currently have is running CM11, and the flash counter has been tripped. Should I TriangleAway/relock/flash stock/unroot before giving it to T-Mo for a trade-in, or is it fine as is?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Well I'm new to the s4 but for your first question, I ordered my s4 online on Tuesday, got it today and it came with 4.2.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr_Jay_jay:
1.- there's no for sure way to approach this it's a gamble, but I would guess that since u will be getting a brand new phone it will most likely come with the 4.2.2 but like I said it's a gamble, since T-mo reps cant open every box to find u a not updated phone

2.- I have exchanged phones with the flash counter triggered, ( NOT THE KNOX COUNTER THE OLDER VERSION) a t-mo rep never checked for that. They are more concerned about water damage than anything else.

3a- My deductible is $150 I would think it's the same all over.

3b.- yes u can always do a a insurance claim, I've done it.

3c it everything goes smoothly u will get a phone with in 24hrs... worse cases 48hrs.

4.- I would flash stock if I was you, no carrier likes it when people messes with their own devices LOL, but seriously flash stock and if u want do the triangle away while u at it.

I hope you enjoy your stay with t-mo, as much as at least I am!!!

[Asus Transformer TF701] DonDizzurp:
I started to notice screen flickering, screen turning off randomly, random black boxes and artifacts showing up. I've had the tablet for under a month and absolutely never dropped it or hit it or anything. I tried a factory reset thinking it might be a software issue but nothing changed.

Since I was still under my return period, I decided to return it for a refund. I could have sent it out for repair (covered under warranty) or had it replaced with a different TF701t but the issue seemed like it was an issue with the Tegra4 GPU and not with the specific device.

I am going to purchase something that has a Qualcomm processor and Adreno GPU as I've NEVER faced problems with any Qualcomm phone or tablet. Tegra has great features but the stability (and development) is lacking.

I would have loved to keep this amazingly designed and solidly built tablet by Asus but the chipset caused me to give up on it. Hopefully anyone else facing this issue can chime in and let others know that this issue exists (maybe it really was just my specific unit?). Sad to let it go but glad I got rid of it for a full refund.
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
That's unfortunate, nothing wrong with mine
[Asus Transformer TF701] brianhill1980:
I saw the flickering and black boxes once, but never since the most recent software update.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Owendavies:
Yeah, I've had the black boxes on Chrome only, but that has gone since the most recent update.

Have you ordered something else? Note 3 10.1 2014?
[Asus Transformer TF701] DonDizzurp:
Me? I'm planning on the LG G Pad 8.3 or everyone's favourite: the Nexus 7.
[Asus Transformer TF701] brianhill1980:
Ya, chrome was the only app that I saw the black boxes in too.

The back light flickering I noticed in just about every app. But like I said, the most recent update fixed all of that for me. I don't think there is anything wrong with the Tegra4 chipset, just software bugs that Asus is working out.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Owendavies:
Ah not seen th LG pad yet but I know the new Nexus 7 is ace. Was thinking of waiting for the new Nexus 10 but was too into the Transformers.
[Asus Transformer TF701] zaelin:
I gotta say, I disagree that it is a specific problem to the Tegra 4 series. I own this tablet and I got an EVGA Tegra Note 7 for my wife for Christmas, and neither device has given me black squares in Chrome or any other application for that matter. I did get the loose dock/charging port, sent in for a replacement and this one has been fine.

I will say, the grass is always greener on the other side, Adreno's are after all not without their own set of issues.

For this tablet, I'm just going to go ahead and admit that Asus has typically always had fairly horrible software development, and as time goes on hopefully they will get their act together.

If you do go with the LG G Pad, try and find the google play edition that recently came out, LG has a horrible habit of bloating the OS.
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
he got a bad quality one and thinks the entire product line is bad too. no need to hang around :good:
[Asus Transformer TF701] DonDizzurp:
Yea.. thats cool

Except I've had either CPU or GPU issues with:

- LG Optimus 2x (Tegra 2)

- Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Tegra 2)

- HTC One X (Tegra 3)

- HTC One X+ (Tegra 3)

- Asus TF701t (Tegra 4)

I've never faced similar problems with Exynos chips nor any problems with Qualcomm chips.

I think my 5 bad experiences with Tegra trump your one good experience with the TF701t
