Considering one of the perks to having Android on Switch is the fact you can use the joycons to potentially play games. I own a GPD xd plus - and its controller mapping app worked quite well. Same with the owning the portable nvidia shield android device. (Switch is easily the best one out of...

Ex-note 7 user here. Other than iris scan and the secure folder not working this is pretty much good enough. In terms of speed, honestly I never felt the note7 to be buttery smooth. This one is quite well on all fronts, but I'm going to be trying various Roms just in case. So far so good though...

This works with the phone screen off, and without turning it on? Like, instead of tapping the power button you eject the pen to start writing. (No menu shows on that screen either, well the official version it doesn't :p) That part isn't working.

Yeah, I don't see it either :< Too bad. I really liked that one :< Great rom though, enjoying it so far :).

Long story short - don't do business with tropical_mobile on ebay, they'll try to take advantage of you any way they can. (see my past posts if you're really interested in knowing what happened :p)

An update on my end. After receiving an iPhone from tropical mobile(instead of my replacement note 7) I contacted my credit card company and eBay - they wouldn't do anything for me. However PayPal was super responsive and helped me get my refund. Yay. However now I'm wondering what about the...

The message along with the closed ticket is this: Oct 05 The seller declined the return request Reason for closing Return closed no refund

I'm guessing you've still yet to receive the phone too, yeah? The drama ensues... They closed my ticket and removed the item to prevent any other actions. (It's that easy?) ><

Opened a case on eBay and sent an email. It was late at night so probably late for Singapore and Emily lives in America so probably needs to know what's up from her boss. So if I don't get a reply by the end of today I'll start the process with the credit card company. Thank God payment hasn't...

I'm not positive how exchanges are going but shouldn't they be giving entirely new devices with the sticker with a blue S on it? The box they sent back was the same one I sent them. Only everything replaced with just the iPhone and the pen tips. The fedex box required me to rip it open in...

They sent a tracking number for me to track the package, yeah. But they didn't include any info as to what was inside. The tracking page lacks any info as well.

Emily said she added me to the list - so I thought it was already handled. I mean, who would have imagined they'd do this? Apparently payment for this happens on the 10th of this month from my cc company. Going to start a complaint tomorrow. Hopefully American Express can back me up here :s

I sent my phone back to Tropical, and this is what they sent back to me... a used iphone 6 S it seems... They even had the nerve to send it in the same box I sent them. Minus all attachments except for the replacements for the tip of the pen. FML ><

Same - I use the kindle app, but mine is based on the Japanese store. Not sure if that makes any difference.

What did you say to them in regards to this? As they sent me an email saying that we weren't included in the recall. I just want to go about the same way so I can make sure it goes smoothly :).

Good to know :eek: Still debating if I too want to go through that hassle...

I'm also in the same ebay boat - using tropical mobile - GOODS ARE COVERED UNDER 12 MONTHS SAMSUNG WARRANTY IDA Licence: DBxxxxxx SAMSUNG DEALER LICENCE: xxxxxxAA WARRANTY LICENCE: xxxxxxx --- So you're saying this stuff doesn't mean anything either? o.o

Hmmm yeah - there is that possibility. But they also sent me this: GOODS ARE COVERED UNDER 12 MONTHS SAMSUNG WARRANTY IDA Licence: DBxxxxxx SAMSUNG DEALER LICENCE: xxxxxxAA WARRANTY LICENCE: xxxxxxx --- I wonder if this will be worth anything as well :/ What to believe lol

I got a message from the person I purchased it from on Ebay saying the one I have (From Singapore) - was made in Vietnam and not part of the ones that are affected. So they won't be required to send back to Samsung (or so they say). Also, in other news, after updating my phone's firmware it has...

Hmmm you make a good point, however, considering I bought mine from Singapore through ebay- I wonder if exchanging it will be an easy ordeal :/ But if it is - indeed a hardware issue, better to find out now than later - I agree. - Updating.

After reading all this - worried if I should update or not. I have the following: Imported from Singapore - Singtell version. SM-N930FD model (But the samsung info app just says SM-N930F...?) Vietnam Manufacture date is 7/27 Build date is July 8 rev.01

Quick question I've seen a lot of problems with SM-N930FD and not so much with SM-N930F. Are those having issues with the SM-N930FD(Before August) variant just unlucky or are there more bad seeds in that batch? - Reason I'm concerned is I can get the SM-N930FD right now, or wait 2 weeks for the...

The one I'm purchasing is apparently from Singapore - reconsidering getting this one for another country :/ (Is it limited to just this country or are other International ones experiencing the same issues?)

I'm getting mixed signals here. In one thread, there's people saying games work very poorly after the update - but everyone saying it's working better with it - can you all report on how games are performing? Apparently you notice a difference after 10+ min of play on the octo core processor.

PM sent as well :)

Will try out the play service advice and report back :)

Hi, I have a Galaxy note edge - but I'd much prefer the note 4. Are there any people that have an unlocked Note 4 that they'd want to trade for? This is the first time I've done this, so not sure if there's a specific forum for it. If there is, I'd happily use it. Anyway, for those that are...

Care to link the site?

I have a note edge but want a note 4 as they are not sold in Japan. Is there a specific area (thread) that these kinds of deals happen?

If it's unlocked it should work. I'll do some research and get back to you. :)

I was hoping for something more like the Note 4 - as in more polished and overall better battery life. I got the edge because it's not released here, but yeah, I still stand by wanting the note 4. My only hope now is that it'll get better with an OS upgrade and or hacking. I had the note 2 and...

For AU, there might be a possibility - for docomo, I believe there is a fee (like 10,000). In terms on how to use it, you'd need either an old phone to put it in and tether, or to use a pocket router or something you can get second hand(Like from craigs list / metropolis classifieds)

Yep, that's the area I was thinking about too :P

Yeah, performance is sluggish, so I have it on the default galaxy setting (as opposed to docomo). The monthly support is actually so low, that it's cheaper without it. My phone bill was 1500 a month when I didn't have to pay monthly for my phone (I bought my note 2 used, for half the price of...

The Docomo launcher is actually not too bad. It seems to be surprisingly well thought out.

It looks as if they read the review in this forum and picked up the details from other places and strapped it all together :p.

I use it - it's really nice :).

I pay 3,450 or so for the router. I use wimax, but I seriously can't recommend them. If you can handle only 7GB a month, I'd say go with docomo or emobile(now Ymobile) I chose wimax because they have a no-limit policy... but their connection is horrible ><

I have some suggestions that might help your issues. In regards to the battery drain - I also had that (my phone wasn't sleeping when the screen was off) so I reset the phone and then just installed apps that I knew I must use. That helped in making sure my phone now sleeps. Then I...

Is there a way to specify which keyboard it'll switch to when pressing the globe to switch keyboards? When I press it it defaults to the samsung one but I much prefer the google Japanese ime one.

I got my monthly bill down by not doing any of their net services (and use a mobile router instead). So my monthly bill is around 4,500 yen (that includes talk time and the phone payments as well. ) Just fyi ;)

Haha, thanks :D. I guess my only chance is to wait for it to get rooted then :p.

Hi, I'm trying to change the galaxy store's country to USA to 1) Utilize paypal's payments. and 2) to get access to the USA goodies (Japan is severely limited) Is there any way for me to change it to do this? Thanks!

Is this possible with our phone? http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/orig-development/multirom-v28-t2900858

I'll wait then. :)

Seriously considering installing this - but is the landscape mode bug too big to deal with?

Maybe it's a problem with my gapps in general. (as that didn't work) What did you install? Ah, also - it's the bigger widget (the one where you choose which you want to show - called "Play - My Library) That's the one that's not working.

I keep getting a force close when I try to use the widget for Google play books. Anyone know a solution to this problem? Loving the rom. The battery life and everything else about it. Great work!

Is it correct in thinking that the current release has broke Google Now? Also, do I have to do the above steps to have it working decently? >.>;

Would love to try it out, but the service you're using to offer downloads 1) pops up porn ads and 2) won't let me download after I tried clicking had to wait, and came back to it 10 min later. Seems like you're in it more for the income you could make and not the user experience, yeah?
