Picked up a note III demo - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Long story short, got a few connects at T-Mobile (used to work for them) and was able to have a buddy of mine snag me a test model note III for free! - To use and play with for about a week. All I can say is.... Save your pennies, and it is everything and more than I expected from Samsung. Just wow. The screen is that flexible material that doesn't break or whatever, and looks absolutely stunning. Very sleek little device even though it is bigger in screen size than its predecessor.
I'm gonna work on rooting it while I have it, so by the time the device drops root will be available immediately and we'll already have a system image to play around with. I am buying one of these, for sure.
The model I have is running 4.2.2 which is what it is launching with, but he is sure Samsung is already working on a 4.3 update for it, which will be available shortly after launch.
Best looking mobile device I have ever held, hands down.

So, you don't need a screen protector?
Does it have wireless charging?
Oh, so many questions and so little time. ..lol
Tell us more and maybe a couple of pictures. ..

Really? You pick up a product that no one else in the world has, and dont even post a pic of it?
Until I see it Im going to have to say BS.

I promised I would not leak any vital info about the device... The only thing I can really tell you about is the screen because that info was already confirmed on the web as was the OS version.
It is benchmarking around 15k in quadrant though. Very fast device, LTE, runs 60 fps in every single 3D benchmark app I can find. Impressive on every level. I feel like these things are gonna be flying off the shelves and I will need to pre-order one for sure lol.
Once I root it I will take a look at the CPU info but I can say this, it is not running a snap dragon 600... No way. Too fast for it to be using that processor.
***EDIT**** I can confirm this right here...
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/07/30/samsung-galaxy-note-3-features-continue-to-take-shape/
Just ran cat /proc/cpuinfo from terminal and it has a Qualcomm 800 CPU packed in it. Don't need root for this command. And that also confirmed why it had 4.2 and not 4.3 lol.
Pretty sick device. I'm tempted to post some pictures lmao... But I promised I wouldn't, so I can't. Sorry Steve
Edit edit*** just rooted it. looooooolllllll.... Processor is clocked by default to 2.3 GHz and it has 4GB of RAM 0.o
Time to play..

You have to post some kind of truth proving you have the device. Otherwise this
thread is doomed.

Why would I lie about that? Also, any information I have given has been confirmed (apparently)... Without me even knowing? I don't read the rumor crap but wow that link I posted was pretty solid evidence wouldn't you say?

Haha true that, talk is cheap. Prove it, Heineken is on me!

Thread is not breaking any rules except should be in "other device discussion" thread and possibly bad taste if it is a joke
I was burnt by people getting new phones with updated software weeks before the OTA.
The best way to kill this thread if you do not believe is to not post in it.
It will die quickly then.
OP, Y no screenshot of about phone with hardware ID?

ICS Carrier IQ Substitute

I could be wrong, but it looks like Sprint/Samsung have put a diagnostic app back in (similar to carrier IQ). Not sure where it is in the app settings, but you can opt out in the about phone settings. Hopefully in the actual eventual ota they let the user choose on first boot instead.
FB17 ICS version
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I think this is their way of using Carrier IQ and the average user wont even think about what it is or disabling it so they win either way.
newalker91 said:
If you're referring to com.android.samsungtest.SlateTest, then no it is not CarrierIQ in any form. Slate is a diagnostics tool that we service centers run that tests the radios and basic functions of the phone.

I am referring to the consumer facing diagnostics tool that comes activated in the fb17 about phone settings. It appears not to be related to the fact that it is a dev build.

I know they announced work with Smith Micro, but I think that is only for data offloading, although Smith Micro does something very similar to Carrier IQ.
It is possible that at some point they may also go back to Carrier IQ as well. I think that would take place once all the lawsuits and questions regarding the EULA etc have been answered.

Just remember however this is a TEST build. right now Samsung is trying to see where things are going wrong as well as Sprint since they are most likely testing this on their network as well. If it's still there come OTA then it's something to worry about but till that point and time it would be nice to help samsung try and fix their issues.

I'd have to agree with you. While I am completely against spying of any sort without my input, this is a test build. This isn't a required update, nobody is forcing it down anyones throat. Everyone running it choose to install it. It's great that people are keeping a close eye on the movements of these companies but until there is legitimate cause for concern ie. an official release, nobody should get up in arms about this.

What we are saying is it looks like it is consumer facing, which means it will almost certainly be in the final build.

eh I'm here or there with that part right now. My reason is this with the builds being released (I'm sure some Sprint employees are using the build with devices in a test center) this could very well be to cover Sprints and samsungs butt if someone does see this app installed and it lets them know the reason for it as well. I do agree with you I don't like this stuff on my phone when it comes to an official release however right now most people (I myself till I went back to a Stock rom) were running an Alpha that does have issues so sending the data to Samsung to help them I don't see a problem with as it could work out well for us in the long run with a much better OTA release.
i care more about freeing up RAM (thanks to the commenter that has killed it with no side effects)
but really does everyone think samsung is using the reports from all of us running leaked builds?? righhhhht and dont think they dont know who should and shouldnt be.

That would be great for new and experienced users. I know I would appreciate it.
I'm sure it is a delicate situation sometimes on forums, especially with one as large as xda.
Please give it a shot. This forum appears to be about spreading knowledge. As long as credit is displayed at the head of the sticky...

Ics! Cm7! Cm9! Omfg!

Just thought there hasn't been an ICS post in the past couple hours so...
THEY HAVEN'T RELEASED ICS OR CM FOR THE T989 OMG!!!
Seriously...you don't even have to search...there are about 4 or 5 ICS posts on the front page...quit wasting our time and just be patient. The forum will blow up with about 100 posts when there actually is news about ICS....
As Reagan said...trust but verify. For all you idiots who find it neccisary to post every ICS scrap you can..
When you read some **** that says the GS2 has/is getting/drivers/etc for ICS, here is a simple step-by-step to determine weather you should post a thread to XDA:
1. Its probably for the international (i9100). We don't give a **** about the internatonal. Just stop reading and go about your business if you even see the word "international". Don't even look at the words if you see a button on the front of the phone on the picture. We don't have a button.
2. our AT&T counterpart is the SKYROCKET (t727). it looks EXACTLY like ours. not the AT&T SGS2 (t777). See 1 on how to deal with news about the AT&T SGS2.
3. If you still think the article has to do with our phone, look for T989. Push ctrl+f (or command+f) and type in t989. If it's not there, don't waste our time.
4. If you find T989 after pushing ctrl+f...read it in context. Most likely its an ad or just confirms you are an idiot for thinking the article meant ICS is coming to the t989.
5. Still hopeful? Repeat 3-4 and search t727.
6. If you are still unsure...repeat steps 1-5.
7. Still think its about the t989?? Just delete your XDA account.
8. Are you just crazy sure that it has to be about the t989?? Check XDA. Somebody will still post ICS threads every hour...
9. I'm sorry if you still think your news is about the t989 after going through all that you should just give up on life now.
10. Don't post anything. Just don't post. Period. Please. Don't. Post.
By following this simple 10-step process, you can determine weather you should post an ICS thread! And maybe it will cut down on ICS posts...I hope this helps you guys...
PS: Sorry if I seem like a troll and actually mislead somebody by my title...just sick of it as everyone else is.
OMGF!! finally!!!
U get thanks bro

Later articles stated that carrier variants would be dependent on the carrier themselves and their own timeline as we'll as other factors. Those factors being that the us has tons of variants using different processors. People sawsgs2 and assumed it meant for us.international did indeed get ics q1 as they said.

Hrrmm slower HW at time of release compared to T959,
Very easy to brick,
S-On/S-off,
No SAMOLED+ display,
Less Internal Storage,
Screen more fragile?
I think that is a good short summary, or at least all the reasons that kept me from going HTC and getting SGS2 when coming from the Vibrant.
As a Vibrant owner I know full well the pain of waiting for Official releases.
So does this mean we are getting it now? I didn't have time to read 2 pages..

People just see the galaxy name and don't realize its a family of devices.
But at the same time, why would samsung support only international, and leave their TOP SELLING DEVICE out?
So to say we wont get it is a little far fetched to say the least

And my bad, I forgot that calling someone a caveman isn't an immature attempt to be funny.. but then again it's hard for me to argue with all of the facts about soliciting donations!
I'll take Doc's advice and let you two have your little conspiracy theory.

Dude you should learn to accept different opinions otherwise life gets boring. There is no need u to become cyankgenmod's lawyer because they do not need one. The facts regard my first post and you like it or not that is the truth. Sammy sold 20 million units of this device. Go to the international forum of the s3 and lets say you find 2000 users on that forum. Now do the math, how many percent of the overall share are these users? And that is what i am telling you even if theh stop supporting the galaxy still sammy does not get hurt at all. I said cyanogenmod was great two years ago when the android os was not so developed but now they lack ots of features. And i can give you many examples of what features they lack. Camera?svoice?smart stay? Etc etc. What are your arguments other than attacking me and not the points i make? I do not use most of those features sammy included this time but still that can make somebody think well maybe this cyanogenmod is getting lil bit behind. That is not an attack to cyanogenmod cuz i currently am using codename rom and it is great but for most part of those 20million gs3 owners cyanogenmod is not seen as u see it=god.

Man. I really hope cyanogen or his team don't come and read this thread.. They've put in a hell of a lot of work for this device, they deserve nothing but thanks, we can't forget all of the great work that has stemmed from their work either... Smh

I can agree with the statements regarding "missing features" when comparing CM to TW. There are some things that TW has that are very nice, and become features you start to depend on as part of a great user experience.
However, CM10 has allowed me to run Jelly Bean as a reliable DD and use Google Now which completely changes the game for me. Yes, TW will update soon but the point is Cm did it already. That's just a small piece of the picture - CM has provided us with support for our phones for YEARS, and are a HUGE driving force in the Android community.
I think it would be wise for CM to start looking at adding more unique features to their builds, things TW doesn't have. But can they compete with Samsung on the highest level? Maybe.. maybe not. Samsung has really stepped it up with TW, and I applaud them for that. However I am a big fan of Android and this whole Tizen move that Samsung is doing really irritates me. Samsung is just like any other conglomerate, they want to hold all the cards when everything is said and done. Which means they have to eliminate Android to build their OWN ecosystem, and don't think they aren't. Samsung has their own movies to sell. They don't want you buying them from the Play Store.
I'm not too fond of Samsung's long term goals. They do make some of the best phones in the world, no doubt about that.. but I am an Android fan, a Google fan, first.
Which is why I see myself back on a Nexus at some point in the future.. probably whatever the best Nexus is after I get sick of the Note 2 (hey, I DID say they make some great phones..)
But losing CM support would definitely suck.. however I can't say I blame them

Anyone managed to get hold of the 2Ghz OC kernel? I know it's not stable or suitable for daily use, was just curious if anyone got hold of it, would be interesting to see some results. Cheers!
so what did this VIIRU§ do? just curious,also with a name like that.wow,, i thought mine was bad..lol
Promised people that he would make roms and kernels and all this great stuff....but he just needed some money to get started. Asked for donations bought a computer. Released one single buggy rom. Used other developers work without credit. Then shortly after that was found out. Had his thread closed and silently drifted off to who knows where. Money in pocket. Nothing delivered.
In my state that is called fraud.
If you want links to prove it ill put them up.

Galaxy note 2 hardware problems

Hey everyone I've been with my lg nitro HD for around a year now and I'm finally making the switch to the note 2 tomorrow but I was hoping that if you guys have found any hardware problems (like stuck buttons, plastic cracked, etc.) When you had first bought your note that you could post them here so that others could try and brainstorm help and also that I could look out for those problems. Thanks !

It's not being rude..if you bothered to even look through the post here...you can easily see some issues that some folks are having..and other issues folks are just way to anal about..that's the way it always is.
The phone is a damn good one...and has a good tract record...but every manufacturer of every phone has some bad ones get out..That isn't being rude...but just stating a fact of life..

other portals have an all in one know issues sticky. and yes, what you said, WAS rude.
the only issue i have is alot of blocked calls (calls that never connect but make the dropped call sound) and a REALLY LONG call connect time. i blame samsungs weak ass radios lol
so far ive heard of:
1 phantom digi
1 random broken speaker
1230984602139460821396 "the plastix is too creaky!!1!!"

Being factual. .is not being rude..and this is XDA....not some other portal..so learn to use the search feature...
Here you are expected to search before asking. ..and it is considered rude and lazy if you don't.
Sorry to talk to you as an adult...but you can expect the same response from others. .if you don't.
Mac
I agree with Mac Here.......Its how XDA is ( and is that way for a Reason )
but onto the hardware problems......i have read threads about big to small issues, some like stated above are just over reacting to certain things that really seem to annoy them....lol the creaking thing seems to be the smallest biggest gripe of the phone so far. i dont have that problem either, maybe its from them thinking pressing the screen should be some sort of fore arm excersize.
def check the threads out, what your asking is that a group of people out of the community take time to rewrite what they have already written in other threads as their gripes and make a list just for you so to speak. and one person will never be able to tell you what others are experiencing with the phone so just scroll the Q&A and Gernal section for thread titles and most likely you will see the problems people are having. just like when i clicked on this one THINKING that you had actually found a hardware problem.......Mislead i was when i graced the threshold.

Creaky number seems exaggerated by about 1230984602139460821391. I saw 5 in the 1 thread I saw. So let's multiply by 4 in case I missed a thread with that complaint. That gives us 22 hardware issues. Wait lets just make that 100 instances for each of the complaints you are highlighting. That makes 300. Have yet to see any thread on a device where you will see that many complaints. But I am not omniscient so lets say bump it up to 1000 each. What is the percentage of faulty equipment out of the millions sold?
The sample of total users of a device here on xda are inconsequential to the number of operartional/defective devices in the world.
Odds are you are going to get one that is fine so why worry about it. You get a bad one take it back. Simple. That is what the warranty is for.

The Recommendation to do a search both here (and in google) is a good and correct answer....... also the recommendation to use your warranty is also excellent. YOU may got a bad unit. I have 6 units on my desk all are perfect..... so maybe you got the luck of the draw (bad luck in this case).
In either case, this thread has run its course....... so.....
.........THREAD CLOSED......
