is anyone else have the sprint galaxy note 2 and not have multitasking ive called sprint and they said i was the first person to call about this problem and didnt tell me much then i called samsung 2 dif times first time the person i talked to said it should be on it and available to use second time i called they said it wasnt and didnt knw anyhing about pushing out a update or anything
I can verify that all phones on Tmobile dont have the multiscreen function working either. TMobile users have to wait for an update. So stupid of Tmo and Samsung.
I am on sprint and it doesn't work for me either.

thanks to Verizon Wireless screwing over my what was suppose to be short day but end up longer as after half an hour of talking to a rep on the phone i end up going to the store as i completely lost voice + text + data on my device because another rep at some local store disabled my sim card and transfered it over another unit which my brother was trying to activate for himself...
so instead of 3:30pm, I've got home at ~4pm (thanks to my suzuki gsx-r600
while i was at the store i asked rep what's up with update for my galaxy nexus? how come gsm version got it and even nexus s got it, why not me? my phone is acting up every now and then sometimes even reboots on me and radio don't get me started on that, so the guy told me verizion supposedly *already* rolling it out as we speak (which was today april 5th) and they're supposedly doing in small batches (which i assume someone would've posted it here long time ago if that was really the case) and i am also going get it any time now...
am I missing something??
When I bought my Galaxy Nexus from Verizon three weeks ago, the rep told me they were rolling out 4.0.5 "as of this morning".
Don't believe a word they say.

what a bunch of (beep), i (beep) (beep) them, those mother(beep).
They'll tell you anything they can to get you to leave satisfied. The average CS rep at a Verizon store has no idea.
First clue the rep was lying:
Their lips were moving.
Second clue the rep was lying:
The ota pdf for the Nexus would have been updated beforehand.
so I called Verizon again today and tech support rep told me that they moved rolling out to early May now... can anyone confirm any of that? I just dont believe a word they're saying anymore...
Root your damn phone and install the update yourself. Never depend on a carrier to push an update and don't cry when they take forever.

The one thing root cannot give is an updated 4.04 Verizon radio. Which will hopefully fix the signal issues....as promised

No one flashes the Galaxy Nexus to any other carrier. Why would you send your phone to someone who claims they can?
And you realize the T-Mobile version is $399 but you paid $350+100+100 for a Sprint one..?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
stopped half way through... wall of text ftl.
Sprint model can't be used on any GSM carrier, and has yet to be flashed to any of the Sprint MVNO's either.
Coulda just bought a used GSM model for $300-$350 (even $399 brand f-ing new) and been on your way, using on T-Mobile / AT&T for less than Sprint.
Yup, you screwed up somehow. You do realize there are 2 different versions of the phone? CDMA (sprint, Verizon) and GSM (everyone else).
Obvious
Lol where to begin... Okay so yes it is obvious that there are 2 types of Phones CDMA and gsm I know the difference, not sure where the thought of me trying to flash a CDMA phone to a gsm network came from but your out in left field on that, gsm uses a sim card no meid or hex number so the phone would only need unlocking for use else where I have a sprint nexus and I'm trying to flash to metro or boost both CDMA carriers this guy in Florida says he can and has done it but like I said I'm skeptical lastly idk why you would add 350 100 and 100 and say that's stupid, did I anticipate the guy walking out the stOre to report it stolen? No did I anticipate the recommended guy off google to no be able to flash it ? No , please use common sense over rushed ignorance also please do a craiglist search find me a slightly used nexus for tmobile for 350 I dare yaaa lol a 32 gb at that nope they are 400+ granted im in the hole for more then that but had no anticipation of any of these events taking place otherwise I'd have scored a new nexus for 350. Lastly I simply asked if its possible to flash which the only answer close to my question came from someone who somehow out of reading my story thinks I'm arogant enough to believe sprint can be used on any network which as I know well is not the case... All I want to know is, why am I seeing intf2 what does it mean this phone as well as most should be flash able it's a very simple task once the phone drivers read correctly, I just wish someone could give some real advice vs talking to me like I'm an idiot I'm hurting lol I got burned on a phone then on google and now xda the fail safe is bashing my post as if I just bought my first smart phone I flash Ron's and Kernals regularly I've flashed an Evo to boost but my little gnex driver can't be found ... Why

You cannot flash it to boost or virgin or any other network. Its just not been done.
You can find a GSM nexus for $350 no problem (just checked my local CL and found 3 under $350). They're $399 brand new...
I just find it absolutely hilarious that you'd buy the phone without first 100% knowing that you'd be able to flash it to another carrier... and at that, why would you waste your time and money and get locked to a BS carrier like Boost or Virgin? You can get prepaid AT&T or T-Mobile plans for the same price, but with an unlocked device and a better network. Just baffling.
Like the title says people called and texted me the past 2 days and I didn't realize until 5 minutes ago when I received several texts at once. My question is how can I tell what caused it? AT&T, hardware, or software (custom rom, tweaks, etc?)
EDIT: I texted people during this time and they received them but I did not receive their replies until just now
My old galaxy Note used to do the same thing. I talked to ATT but they said everything was OK and I flashed multiple ROMs to seek a solution with no avail... Even did it with stock roms... Flashed different modems and nothing... So it might be a phone hardware (antenna or something of the sort) I got rid of the Note and got my SG3 ...if its still under warranty get it swapped...
Its the only advice since it happened to me as well and hasn't happened in my S3 at all

Anyone else have any ideas/feedback?
Happening to me too!
I have the same issue. The only way I know it has happened is when my family email's me and asks why I am not responding to their texts or calls. I have spoken to AT&T twice now. So far they had me go get a new sim card and claim they have sent things to my phone that *should* cure the problem. The last call was yesterday and I am waiting to see if it is fixed but I would bet against it. My phone is still under warranty and it if happens again, I will swap it out. They also wanted to get me to upgrade to Jelly Bean which I already have done hoping for a fix.
I have never had to swap out a defective phone. Will they send out a replacement and allow me to keep this phone until the replacement arrives or must I send mine in first? With this phone using a mini sim card, I do not have another phone I can use during the shipping time.
I know Galaxy S4 (and carrier) has the feature of call waiting which you can accept calls when you are on the phone already
The thing I want to know is that, is there a way for the phone to tell me when I am calling someone that they are on the phone?
My old Nokia do that, which tells me call waiting when I am calling someone which they are talking on the phone to a third person
But the Galaxy S4 (and my old S3) doesn't do that
I am hoping someone can answer something for me. I am getting the 46mm Galaxy watch with LTE from T-Mobile as soon as they are back in stock. Hopefully it will ship the 24th which is the earliest. Anyway, I have been doing a lot of research on the watch. Some things concern me and I can only work around one I get the watch.
But, the major concern is when I get the watch will it be already activated on LTE? I have read a lot of people talking about having to have a Samsung phone to do the activation. I talked to T-Mobile and they said it should be activated already if the Digits line is active. It is active on the other one we ordered that was in stock. I just don't know about mine yet until it ships.
So, does anyone have any experience with this watch on T-Mobile? I do not have a Samsung phone. I know all Bluetooth stuff will work. I just want to use it as a standalone device also.

You need a T-Mobile phone to get it up and running. My watch connected to my phone thru bluetooth and was working just fine, but I couldn't get the LTE to work until after I made the trip to an actual T-Mobile store. I have a Verizon phone. I couldn't get the LTE to work so I ended up using a T-mobile employee's phone to set it up. It needs to download something thru a T-Mobile line. But once you set it up you're good. Hope this helps.
Yeah I bought it straight from T-Mobile. And I have T-Mobile. I just have a Moto z2 force and I have heard you can't set the LTE up without a Samsung phone. You get kind of error like that it can't be setup on this device. T-Mobile assured me it will be working fully after they link the Digits line to it. Which is right before it ships.

Did you get your watch to activate on a T-mobile stand alone line? I have Sprint for my phone. I have a Samsung S2 watch on a stand alone line. I went in and bought a Galaxy Watch at a T-mobile store. We tried for 3 days and never got it to activate on my stand alone line, so I returned it. The guys in the store called all kinds of customer service numbers. They were finally told that Samsung wouldn't allow it to activate on a stand alone line. We all thought it was bs but no one could get it working. So does yours have its own line and number on T-mobile? Thanks.

I only have one line thru T-Mobile and it is the Galaxy watch. My actual phone is a Verizon phone. I had problems getting it to sync to my phone. I called Samsung and t-mobile, both didn't know what was what. I returned my watch and got a new one thinking it was defective. The new one did the same thing. So I went to the Samsung forums with my problem and someone suggested to take it to the store and use one of there phones. So I did.
It took a couple of tries. I used two different phones from the store before the employee just let me use his. I forget what kind of phone he had but that made all the difference. I suggest going into a t-mobile store and syncing your watch to the most current SAMSUNG device they have. What happens is they use the phone to transfer the file you need to your watch. Once you have it downloaded on your watch the LTE should be up and running. You won't need that phone ever again even after a factory reset. Your watch should have its own number and you can connect it to whatever carrier phone you have.
Let it be noted that I did this before any updates occurred. I would have hoped this issue would have been fixed by now. I hope this helps. I will say that T-Mobile was very kind, and when they could be, they were very helpful.
