[Microsoft Surface] ..alee:
I want to buy a Surface RT tablet and I found a local guy who is selling a brand new tablet at really cheap price. I wanted to ask that is there a way to check if the tablet is real or fake ?

Like any configuration ? Any test or any hidden command that i can execute which can confirm its identity ?

i know every phone has an IMEI number which i can cross check from phones settings > About menu with the one which is listed on the box.

Is there anything like this for Surface which I can cross check from the box and with the device/software inside ?

Thanks,
[Microsoft Surface] Jorgkuiper:
If you van not jailbreak it. It's real

[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
No, but nobody is known to be making fakes. And the guy above saying cannot jailbreak = fake, frankly doesnt have a clue
[Microsoft Surface] maikalwolf:
He was probably kidding, in his own strange way! You knows those folks from Europe have a dry sence of humor, look at Putin...lol
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Putin is Russian, not considered a European country. And you also just said that to a British citizen, aka european union member state...
[Microsoft Surface] maikalwolf:
Jorgkuiper is not an European moniker? And no offence was meant, I said it in jest!, as to a British citizen considering themselves a member of the European Union, again no offence meant, though I have met a few British soldiers during my military career who would consider themselves anything but, politically speaking maybe, but not something they would make a big deal over. As for Putin being Russian, okay you got me there, I admit the jest was very small in deed! Can we get back to Surface discussions now!:cool:

Cheers!

By the way Six, I have been reading your posts you have made in reply to others and will say that you have cleared some things for me as I prepare to receive my Surface RT that I purchased recently. Very educational and hope to learn more from your contributions.: good:

You need :

stock rom (no system apps deleted)

kernel

recovery

to install an ota. Bootloader can stay unlocked.

I assume you are on a 3.14 base now. If so you need to flash this recovery

I guess Verizon updated the towers here in West Hollywood near Beverly Hills.

The stupid thing is that the speeds are useless for YouTube because I can't play an HD video without it pausing. We're already feeling the effects of the death of net neutrality.

To prove that I connected to my friend's Wifi and it loaded and fully buffered in less than a second. So, it's useless having those 4G speeds.

We do have a few pre-reelease AWS sites here. I have a PRL that allows me to use them. I will do a speedtest from that when Im near them again. I usually get close to 80 Mbit from them. Also, on LTE the larger the file the faster it will be downloaded. Basically LTE will window according to the size (on the carrier size).

If you can't access it by dialing *#*#46436# (*#*#INFO#*#*), try downloading "Advanced Signal Status" from the Play Store.

I had this issue before when I switched to a Verizon ROM and this app helped me a lot.

[Moto X General] vinnyjr:
That is because Verizon is controlling bandwidth. I am on T-Mobile, ass kicking LTE speeds with about 12 mb down on HSPA+ Network. I shut my LTE radio off to save battery and use nothing but HSPA+. I stream YouTube 20 minute videos without any buffering at all. Never buffer anytime, anywhere. I left Verizon for that reason. What good is fast speeds if they are useless.

This may not be the most custom rom out there but ive gotten great battery life and performance of it so great effortless job on this rom lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Thanks elcapo0709..

Using the latest from Samsung means you have to redo a lot of work because many tweaks aren't compatible with the newer software. It's called EffortLess because that's how it feels when the end user (you) run it (total opposite of what it is for me to make it).

I'm glad you're enjoying the performance and long battery life. Hopefully I can get more people to jump on board tomorrow with a little guide on making things a little more customized and less "stockish" while keeping it nice and smooth.

Dirty flash then wipe cache and dalvik cache and you should be good.

OoOoO

Trying this one out as well.. I'm a flash whore and the battery life is getting my interest. All these other released roms are so customized I can't go half a day with out charging my phone again. I'll let you know how I feel about this rom after a couple days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chipis:
no problem bro, downloading now!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
I actually made it for myself just for that reason... then decided I'd share since I liked it so much myself. Hope the same for you. Feedback is appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Try different USB ports, make sure the laptop has Internet access. Install Samsung kies and see if it sees the phone. Full wipe might help if the other things don't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mpodval:
Correct. it let's me enter the pin and reenter it but the security method remains swipe (no security). This is also usually proceeded by an unmounting of the sdcard. I can do pattern but not pin. Was there a tar file i needed to flash with Odin going from rev 4 to 5?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dobbs3x:
I can confirm this on v5. Ill try a full wipe and factory reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Did you fully update to NE6 stock using kies or odin before flashing this ROM? And did you perform a full wipe before flashing in twrp? I can't replicate the issue, so more info would help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wakkigy:
I upgraded to stock NE6 before flashing V5, but I did not do a full wipe. Pin and Pattern locking both work for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dobbs3x:
I used Odin and confirmed I was on ne6 kernel AMD baseband before I flashed this. I don't remember if I full wiped or not but I always do so it habit so I think I did. I'm going to redo from scratch and see if it goes away. A cache wipe and factory reset did not fix the problem for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Use advanced wipe and wipe everything except your internal and external SD. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RMXO:
That I know but some games especially Final Fantasy series that I play doesn't work with Xposed installed. It's all good though, there are other methods besides using Xposed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dobbs3x:
Just fresh installed v5 and still doesn't work. I went into advanced and wiped all but the storages, did the factory reset for good measure, wiped cache and dalvik after the Rom was flashed and before first boot. I let first boot sit for 10 mins then rebooted and completed initial phone setup. Let me know if I can help ya with more tests, I'll tinker around on my end.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Chrisw_2003:
All the security from swipe to password work, just went through them all and no issue's with them.

Rocking Effortless rev5 rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dobbs3x:
I also get unmounted sdcard notification when trying to set it. I noticed this is a problem in the S5 port too. Hmmm. Something good fishy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Try it without your SD card inserted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] seansc144:
Edit... it was the kernel. I used lean and compulsion kernel thus my USB wouldn't work. Anyone has the stock ne6 flashable kernel zip not tar... so i can switch kernels on the move
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Spider_Pig27:
All good with My Sd Card here...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
I'll get one up once I get back to my workstation. I'd advise against custom kernels (unless necessary) until they're based on NE6 source, I sent Samsung a request for source, should be soon hopefully. There were a lot of changes and older kernels could cause some unforeseen problems.

Just crazy seeing reporting issue bcos I just haven't been able to duplicate n e issue....ROM running flawlessly. I updatedpto the new firmware with new kernel and baseband b4 flashing ROM

Unfortunately that's the lean kernel when installed. I need the stock right now. Thank you though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mpodval:
You did the same thing I did by just flashing rev 5 over rev 4. The new bootloader requires you to PDA it in ODIN. Check out the instructions in Jovy23's Stock rom. I just finished doing it and everything works great.

Effortless - I'd add Odin instructions to the OP

Here's my base line on a fresh install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Megaflop666:
Throw antutu out the window... (Wish people would quit relying on that). The true test of a benchmark is how it feels to you. There are many great kernels out that work with this ROM. lean, compulsion, and colonelx are all awesome. Pick one, start with stock install settings and let the kernel settle in for a few days and then start over clocking a step or two at a time once per day and see how it handles, you'll find your peak.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mv1luv:
I understand about the real world settings but I need something that will stress the processor enough to know if it'll be stable. See I run my phone heavy and I would rather max out the processor by stressing it with an app that can. Not playing a graphic intensive game and music or etc and find out my overclock can't handle the load and have to pull the battery to reset the whole thing. I don't mind the apps that are for stress testing is what I'm saying I play with the governors and voltages and frequency's until I find one that does not crash through a stress test app. I don't care about the scores I care about it actually completing a whole solid pass.
