Hey guys,
Just trying to figure out how to do this.
I have a TMobile Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and i recently purchased a new asus laptop/tablet and it comes with Asus Instant Connect which allows you to use your samsung phone to tether with the laptop, BUT the application is only for Nexus, S2, S3, and NOTE, but not NOTE 2, so how can I make the computer think that I have an S3 instead of the NOTE 2
by the way, this application requires to have kies installed.
Please advise
You could just edit your build.prop to change what your device is an as, but I'm betting in this case it would be a little more in depth then just telling it you're using an s3.

Yep, i already changed the build.prop from T889 to T999 and restarted the phone but the program still knows
thats why I am asking on here lol

Probably would have helped to let us know that. As I guessed though it's more in depth then that so I won't be much help. Maybe one of our genius devs will swing by

If the computer is scanning the literal hardware itself, you may be out of luck, but I could be wrong.

So long story short, I think I bricked my girlfriend's Verizon Nexus when she asked me to flash JB onto it. It was working fine for a couple days and then all of a sudden, it won't turn on or even charge. Nothing works, it's just a black screen.
I was wondering if it's possible to flash something on my ATT S3 so that it can be used with her Verizon account and number. Essentially I just don't want to have to make her buy a new phone if I can give her my S3.
No, you can't. Fix her phone.

I'm working on it, haha. Thanks for the fast response. Guess I'll go see what the current deals are at Verizon.
Good luck! Give the nexus toolkit a shot. Nexus is pretty hard to brick, I think

I know its early to say, but when the S3 was brand new to market, there seemed to be quite a few people losing their IMEI's for unknown reasons. Any reason to think this problem will come to the N2?
I rooted with a custom ROM/kernel installed from CWM and my IMEI is just fine.

Yea but that doesnt mean much. The man makes a good point and I was thinking exactly this last night. Considering the s3 is probably closely related... <I just know the next post will be along the lines of ; "no its not wtf you talking about"> I would be really careful and probably just wait it out and see. Let the impatient people test the water first. I wonder if those Nv backup methods and imei backup tools that worked for the s3 will work for the note. Anyone with better knowledge know? And by better knowledge meaning someone that can support their claim. Not the average self righteous xda member...

i screwed up when i rooted my phone and lost my IMEI...if you lose it, it should be just as simple as downloading from this post i made in the development forum and flashing with odin...at least it has fixed multiple phones that lost IMEI in root process...

Not sure if it's possible, but given the prices of the Note II around here, it will cost me about the same to fix my S2 as it is to buy a Note II. When i open Kies on my laptop with the phone connected, it tells me the device is locked, and to unlock it first. Of course with the screen broken, that's not an option.
Any way to get around this, or am I out of luck? TIA for any help.
This is a stock version btw. Anyone?
Have you tried an adb backup?

I am finding that I love my new note but I really miss some of the features that I had on my samsung galaxy s3. The most notably will feature was the FM radio and also the find my phone app from Samsung. I hated it every time I had to send my galaxy s3 to have the problems fixed on to it because I had to go through the importer in Miami do you get anything fixed. This is why I went with T mobile this time so I can have is it repairs on a phone if I needed. This came into play two days after I got the new note 2 from T Mobile. It had problems with shutting itself off if you laid it down on the counter a little hard or jared the phone hard.

Yeah I am with you on the loss of the fm radio otherwise the upgrade is quite worth it
I'm not familiar with the Samsung find my phone app but if you can't get it on the tmobile phone you can probably find a similar app in the play store.
I have my phone unlocked and like the versatility of using tmob or att Sims.
This model of the phone also offers wifi calling which is not found in the international or att versions.

Find my phone was from Samsung that let you find, disable, and wipe data from any computer. As I was reading about it it is only on International models. Branded phones loose alot of standard features. The only one I think does not is the Nexus.

find my phone works on the n7105 rom ports for the tmobile note 2 i tested it myself its nice
I just got the new update an hour ago and wanted to share my thoughts because I know there's still a lot of people wondering what it fixes. So far I've noticed:
- Phone in general feels much much quicker.
- gallery no longer lags.
- switching from wifi to 4g o longer lags the phone
- camera is improved. Still slight shutter delay but I'm thinking it must jus be how it works since it's taking such high quality pics.
-updating apps in the play store no longer makes the phone lag.
-one of my favorite things is the home button response speed is really fast now(yes svoice home button is disabled) I noticed the home button used to lag sometimes. Much faster now.
- I noticed some buttons in the camera and gallery are different and have some extras. Haven't had much of a look yet.
-it appears all my apps are on the SD card now.
I can't comment on battery life or anything else yet but I'll keep an eye on it tonight.

I think t-mobile gets it in the next day or so. Verizon didn't release it through ota. I kept checking for software upgrades to and nothing. I downloaded kies on my laptop and plugged my phone into it and it worked.

Dude, you're in the wrong forum.
You have the Verizon S4. This is the T Mobile Forum.
You're working with a different radio and everything. The battery results would be non comparable.

From what I've heard though and idk if t-mobile is doing this but Verizon locked the Bootloader so apparently you lose root and can never root again which is fine for me cuz i dont even know how to root and see no reason to now.

Hello, I'm XDA. We clearly haven't met.
Can't ever root again......not if Samsung had the NSA itself encrypting the bootloader.
Also, the locked bootloader is only a requirment to run Samsung's Knox protection sofware, which is only really relevant for business use.

Just waiting for the update, I dont mind the locked bootloader as im not going to root this device anytime soon mate. However I was voing to root so I can use the apps2sd feature but since I heard about the update, root not needed. Till the galaxy s4 no longer runs the latest version of android then I will root. Tmobile your always last to do anything hurry it up will ya.
