I am considering getting the Note 2, but have never owned a Samsung phone before. I have a Macbook pro as my only computer and just wanted to know if their Samsung software works on a Mac and whether I can flash ROMs using my Mac instead of a Windows PC? I currently have an LG phone and this has been an issue

Hello folks
I am proud owner of note 2 and been enjoying it for a while now. It has replaced my laptop to a great extent and i now only use imy laptop for stuff that needs extensive typing.
I have been tempted to by a tablet for long time now but i am not sure if I need one coz of note 2.
What is your guys take on it?
How many of us here have both and use both.
Cheers!!

Why? Why would you possibly need a tablet if you have a phablet. As for extensive typing try using a blue tooth keyboard for it.

Hi, anyone know if it is possible to switch from an Android platform to a Windows mobile 8 on the Sprint Galaxy Note 2?
No it wont happen. There is a very slim chance to actually pull it off. And we bought android phones for android. Sell your phone and get a windows phone.

arm windows 8 is proprietary and driver locked... if you pull it off it's illegal and to pull it off you would need to write your own drivers

Not interested in changing from Android to Windows. Just wanted to try it if possible. Thanks for your information.
It was answered in the other thread you posted too. ... no real need to spam the board with the same question because you didn't like the answer

Is that possible to have a 3g/4g stick and use it with a USB cable to my phone? Has anyone tried it?

Is the USB modem supported in Linux? Most likely not, and that doesn't leave a bright future for Android.

No.. They are supported.. Maybe not all, but I've seen many tablets with android a.k.a Linux that support internet via 3G/4G dongles.. Maybe we need some application for them to run, I've no idea atm.. Cheers

What I know of is CDC (needs kernel support) or proprietary protocols like MS' rndis;
It depends on the piece of hardware though. If i was the OP, i would buy a 3G/4G usb modem WITH WIFI HOTSPOT.
Edit: Something like this but for tuna, ofc.
I found another thread on how to make every 3g dongle work with tablets so I think I can try this method. WiFi hotspot will be the best idea but costs money and the plain 3g dongles ate given for free with a contract.

Most Modems are Sim based. If you need it for your mobile phone, remove the sim from the Modem, and insert it into your Phone.
I was able to use PPPWidget (go to the market to download) and follow the related forum.
I'm using a 3g dongle like a charm
Bye

True, but then you wouldn't have a voice service, only data. But yeah, also an option if voice is not needed here.
Does anyone have a solution to being able to do this? It doesn't connect saying it can't get an ip address.
People say that it's because of the drivers put in on 4.2 (they are right it seems, I can get it to connect on a4.0 and 4.1 rom.)
Any sort of workaround other than downgrading. I'm tired of bridging it through my laptop

WiFi tethering should work.

I do it all the time and works good. Check your internet setting on the Xbox. I just have them set to auto. The NAT might not be open but it isn't strict either.

That's weird. Could I ask what rom you're running?
I can tether to everything but my Xbox. I have everything set to automatic on it.

AOKP milestone 2. you can find it on their website. It is kinda old but very stable.
4.2 rom
I haven't been able to get a tether with my nexus on any jelly bean 4.2 or higher I've just decided to stay on 4.1.2 forever since this issue doesn't seem to be a focus of the devs
Yeah, I asked one Dev and he said that if its a problem with the drivers there is nothing they can do

Tethering also doesn't work for my Xbox slim , the last it worked was on ics

Oooh I'm telling, your trying to crack a WiFi network, bad, bad boy. Probably not or at least no method I have seen yet and I am constantly on the boards over at AirCrack. Your better off going with a Nexus tablet for that kind of thing, works flawlessly on my Nexus 10 and my buddies Nexus 7 v2. The LG G Pad is also a good tablet for such things, just make sure to get the Google Play Edition. If you have an old Samsung Galaxy S2 laying around they also make a really good phone for BCMON, use CM 10.1 or above on it and you won't have any problems.
