[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toyanucci:
To install that particular zip, you need root. It needs to write that keyboard to the system folder which is only writable if you have root

[Shield Q&A] CobraCommanderp:
I'm an app hoarder in a dilemma. I purchase many games and apps on my Galaxy s3, using the 'bill my carrier' option. However of course the Shield has no SIM slot, so I cannot do that. Nor does tethering with my mobile work as I had hoped, the shield treats it as a typical Wifi network.

What I end up having to do is purchase the app/game on my phone in the PlayStore, then through logging into the same account on my Shield, it then shows 'purchased' and I can download.

Further, for app/games with IAP's, I need to actually download the app on my s3, launch it, purchase, and hope it eventually sync's to my Shield.

One example would be The Walking Dead. A free title (for the first episode of the first season). I wanted to purchase the season pass so in addition to downloading the 1.37gb game on my Shield, I also had to download it k my s3. Launch the game. Purchase the season pass. 10 mins later it shows up as purchased on my Shield. Uninstall from s3. Oy dios mio.

As you can imagine this poses a problem, as many Shield games are not available on the s3. Also not all apps I see on the Play store on my s3, are supported on the shield. Infact I think I have two completely different PlayStores [while some apps show 'device not supported', others are just completely missing from the PlayStore].

How can I solve this monumental inconvenience? Please do not suggest piracy, I'm known to purchase apps solely to support indies. Unless it's a Whacktivision game, then post the apk immediately, pl0x.
[Shield Q&A] Solarenemy68:
Can't you just buy game through the Playstore on the Shield using your Google wallet account? I buy a few apps on my phone this way and it get billed to my bank through my check card.

I also buy gems and other currency for some games this same way.
[Shield Q&A] CobraCommanderp:
Hey yeah I have all available payment optioms except 'bill my carrier'. I do have a creditcard which I can attach to my google wallet but choose not to, nor do I want to go buy Play cards.

This is what I want a workaround for - to bill my carrier via my Shield.
[Shield Q&A] aarondr:
Monumental inconvenience... hmm... you don't want to purchase Google Play cards, you don't want to use a credit card... Why are you so intent on carrier billing? You want your carrier to get more money (they get a pretty decent slice of each transaction you make)?

Sounds like you have someone who pays your phone bill and doesn't pay very close attention to the 'extra charges' section :silly:

I don't believe there is any way to accomplish what you are trying to do, as it would need to be a 'device' on the carrier's network for that feature to work. I'm unsure if a USB modem would enable the bill to carrier - but that device alone will cost a lot more than a bunch of apps.
[Shield Q&A] CobraCommanderp:
Heh nice analysis, that's not the case at all. I'm not worried about my carrier making a slice, it doesn't cost me any sort of premium and I'm pretty sure the developers make the same.

Don't want to buy play cards as not only is there tax on them here in Canada, but a $2 app is actually $2.16. The idea of dead currency doesn't appeal to me. I pay my own bills, I require carrier billing for the reasons listed above.

Hopefully the Shield 2 comes with a sim slot, seems like a pretty lazy decision not to include one on an OS designed for mobile use. :rolleyes:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vma:
Hi,

Yesterday my precious Galaxy Note GT-N7000 was stolen. :(

I am considering to get myself a Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005).

The questions:

1) Is the Note 3 a good choice? I used my Note 1 over two years, mainly for these tasks:

- phone (duh)

- e-mails

- web browsing

- ebooks

- music

- movies

- taking pictures

Is the usability same or better, for these tasks?

2) I never rooted my N1, nor did I use custom ROM's. Why? Because I got scared with the EMMC Brick Bug.

Is the N3 fine to flash with custom ROM's? Any Brick Bug? What about the firmware counter? Can it be reset?

3) How is the screen? Is FullHD really an improvement over 1280x720? Or does it just waste battery and CPU?

4) Are there proven burn-in issues on the screen?

The main question, though, is: how does the N3 compare to much cheaper phones like the bq Aquaris 5" or the upcoming 6"? They cost less than half. I wonder if they are good enough, since the lower price means less worrying about such an expensive item.

I always was scared to **** to drop my N1 and often preferred to take a cheap phone with me, instead, when I had to go to rougher terrain.

Also, half the price would mean I could change phone twice as often - my N1 actually really sucked after 2 years: it was sooo sloooowwww. Everything I did, I had to wait for up to 3 seconds. Like opening the contacts - that even took longer!

I think Samsung killed the phone with all the bloatware and respective updates over the two years. Add the brick bug and my experience was not that good. However, my N1 was like new, had a great screen and once the app started, it was quick.

So what's your opinion?

Thanks,

vma
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
1) I used the n7000 for about a week before i bought a new n9005, never looked back :)

2) to properly root your device with a custom recovery.. no the n9005 flash counter cannot be reset currently. Mine was 0x1 the day i bought it ;) i needed a custom recovery.

3) I love the screen on here, the colours and resoloution look very nice.

4) the screen will probably burn over time.. most do, but 6 months of 75%+ brightness not a sign yet.

Got this n9005 in december lastyear, have not looked at another device since, i have it set up perfectly.. amazing battery life, 4g.. 32gb storage and sdcard.. 3gb of ram..a very good camera! Also i really like the speaker position. The usb 3 charging cable is much more sturdy too.

I hope this answers your question...but i am biased because this is a note 3 forum ;)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
are you kidding ? :)

N3 is much more better compare to N1. Though the bloatware still a lot (or perhaps a lot more compare to N1), but the hardware specs itself is much way better than N1. You should google the comparison of N1 and N3 to have a better view/understanding on hardware differences.

N3 doesn't have eMMC brick bug as compare to N1, and never face any SDS as in N2.

But, to be frank, before you root / flash any custom system, my advise to you is to check the multitouch issue (you can simply download multitouch tester from google play). Some device has this issue (I don't). And try to check the screen for dead pixels / any strange issue.

N3 counter is not the binary counter which is reversable. N3 and other Samsung devices come with KNOX flag, which is irreversible once it is tripped. It can be tripped if you try to flash anything related to system which is not digitally signed by samsung (ex. root, custom recovery, custom ROM). But there's towelroot now, which is reported can work for certain firmware. You may google more about this tools (as I don't bother with it, my device tripped already) :p

yep, you should try to play with it first before you buy. At least you will know the improvement.

I don't suggest to compare N3 with other cheaper phones, as the specs itself is really different a lot. But there are some other phones come up as competitors to N3 (e.g. HTC M8, Xperia Z2, LG G3, Oppo Find 7a, 1+ One).

Sorry, but I never heard Aquaris.

N3 price is way cheaper now compare to 1st launch. But indeed it is an expensive device. For me, I have no choice but to use, as I use the S-Pen for working as well.

But I never face any lagging at N3. I did face it with N2 (sometimes), and definitely N1. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
1) yes, 3GB RAM, FHD and higher brightness helps; also clearly better camera.

2) Note 3 is OK on eMMC, you can flash a huge lot of things (unless you get a bootloader-locked version); there is a knox counter which you can still keep 0 with a little care (read about it, there is a lot to read - but absolute first thing is to stop all updates until you decide on it, both in firmware and security)

3) screen is an improvement

4) not that I know of, probably less than on note 1.

5,6) Aquaris is a 1GB RAM phone - NEVER again buy one! Most of the slowness is from RAM, that is also one reason why your note 1 was so slow. 2GB inexpensive phones are now available from China (or from companies like Aquaris which re-brand such cheap phones at a premium price) but build variability is higher (meaning more duds) and you never know what future software update you will get (if ever).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vma:
Hi,

Thanks for the replies so far.

The bq Aquaris E6 I mentioned, will be available next month. The specs (in spanish) are: http://www.bqreaders.com/productos/aquaris-e6.html#techspecs

The price is half of what a N3 would cost me.

To clarify my questions:

1) Of course the N3 is better than the N1 and I am not even considering buying a cheap N1 or N2. What I meant is: is the N3 as good an experience in 2014 as the N1 was in 2012? Does it fully satisfy you guys? I do expect the best from a premium product like this.

2) I am glad that the eMMC bug is not present, however I am pissed off, as I discovered the multi touch issues. How bad is it really?

3) The burn-in: I am the kind of person who would never enjoy a plasma screen because while watching a movie, I would be paying more attention to constant parts of the image possibly burning in, instead of enjoying the movie. Here it is the same: I find in unacceptable to notice that the upper status bar left that part of the screen brighter or darker after a few months of usage.

4) What about heating up? I was disappointed by the N1, when I tried to play 3D games and the CPU heated up so much. I got concerned if it would melt, that's how hot it got. Any issues with the N3? I know it will actually speed down, if the heat gets to much, but will that reduce performance significantly?

5) I just noticed: there is only one or two (?) official Samsung case (or whatever you would call it). How do you guys protect the phone? I used to have a sleeve on my N1, but there doesn't seem to be one by Samsung anymore.

Please don't get offended, but I am struggeling between these options:

- Samsung N3 (that's what I really want, but at the price, it needs to last 2-3 years without any problem and after that period, it would still have to serve as a backup phone)

- Cheap chinese clone (would allow me to change phone sooner and would be less problematic if I drop/break or lose it)

- Apple iPhone 5S (the reason I am considering this: it apparently just works and has a great set of security, which is what I learned to value, when my N1 got stolen: I had data on the external SD (can be read by any PC), the PIN was active, but no "self-erase" function was available if the pin was entered 5 times wrong, etc.)

But the bottom line is: I have doubts about this multi touch issue and I wonder why so many people post that the screen should be checked for dead pixels.

I buy my phones from a big distributor and if the phone has problems it is a major pain to exchange it, especially if it is a "minor" problem in the eyes of the distributor.

Thanks for your opinions.

Cheers,

vma

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpatt:
Considering that Knox is the premier security program to be included on every Android L phone not just Samsung, I doubt the amount of time needed to circumvent is not worth the effort on the 605. Don't hold your breathe that we will ever get root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Znomon:
the only thing you can do (and idk if everyone can do it) is to odin flash back to 4.3 (MJ9) and then root from there.

unfortunately that doesnt include a bootloader unlock. but then you can safestrap and install /any/ touchwiz rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Can you confirm if you've actually been able to successfully do this? If you have, then this would be great news for those who want root, but took the OTA up to 4.4.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Znomon:
Yes, I did this myself on my phone before I switched out the motherboards.

From ND7, you can flash back to MJ9, and then you can root, and then use safestrap to install certain specific ROMs

I will edit this post if i find a link to a tutorial

Damn I downgraded from ND3, not ND7, my apologies.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Cool. Thanks for the confirmation. I knew you could go from ND3 back to MJ9, but I had read somewhere else where someone speculated that you couldn't revert back to MJ9 from ND7 due to the locked bootloader issue... I'm still on 4.1.2 with unlocked bootloader, so I can't test it either.
