Are the Bluetooth keyboard issues resolved on the US WiFi SM-600 ? I found it unusable on mine, constant disconnects followed by complete keyboard non recognition, and tablet lag all over the place. Would take a reboot to recover performance. This happened with several different keyboards. I...

I'm having the same issue, I've tried a Logitech K810 and an Apple bluetooth keyboard. Both seem to connect and disconnect on and off when I'm not touching them. If I am typing a long sentence it's OK, but as soon as I take my hands off the keyboard for more than a few seconds, it may or may...

The problem is that action memos do not show up in s note and therefore cannot be synchronized with Samsung or evernote. This is an insane, short sighted decision, and has reduced the note taking effectiveness for me immeasurably. Double tap to quick note was my most used feature on the note 2...

Thanks for sharing! I live in the US but go home to the UK a couple of times a year. I've preordered the US T-Mobile version, for primary and initial use in the USA with T-Mobile. Of course since its a carrier version, I'll have to get the carrier Sim unlock code from them, but I will be...

Thanks very much for providing a better translation. I agree it seems to say about activating overseas with "partners" (whomever they are...) But yeah it mentions nothing about this putting a local Sim card in first to activate and remove the region lock. I've seen too many reports that this...

Thank you so much for posting this, but.... this article quotes the same google-translated German quote which remains unclear. Until I see a properly worded quote in English (or a proper interpretation of the German quote by a fluent speaker) I don't believe Samsung have clarifies their...

I read the same German statement (via Google translate) on another site this morning too. It's very unclear regarding removing the lock. That could be to do with the Google translation though. Really need a proper German speaker to interpret the original statement I think! Sent from my...

That is awesome! I got mine today, and I have a foreign (UK) SIM card from 3 UK. I tried it with the Moto X and it worked straight away, I was roaming on at&t. I have a friend at work with an iPhone 5 on at&t, I'll ask to borrow her nano SIM and give it a try. But if straight talk works, and my...

Since it's already Thursday, I find it highly unlikely I'll get the phone this week unless it magically ships today, and they then mystically upgrade it to overnight shipping, or Saturday delivery.

Thanks for letting me know! Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Hey, folks who picked one up already - would you be able to do me a favour please? If you have a T-Mobile or AT&T (or even international) SIM card, would you be able to put that into the VZW Note 10.1 to see if the tablet is SIM-unlocked out of the box? I know Verizon does this with some LTE...

Just a "note" to say don't give up hope. I've been waiting forever and getting by with a combination of EDGE on my Note, or putting my SIM in a TMO GSIII to get HSPA+ there. Last week I bought an international Note II which has the same 1900 3G band as the Note 1. I was literally on the day...

Hey Ars-Hexis, Thanks so much for the reply. I googled about the same issue on the i9300 as you mentioned - and sure enough a couple of threads on androidcentral, and tmobile support - and all with pretty much a bunch of people going "what?" I think you're right, and this is either some crazy...

farfromovin, I agree it's a complete pain why one model can't work worldwide - or even between carriers in one country, the US!! I'm not sure that all the revisions are the exact same hardware though. Certainly the different revisions will support different LTE bands from one another...

Hi, I just received an unlocked International Galaxy Note II in the US. Ordered from Handtec in the UK, and the phone appears to be the French model. I have observed what I think is a problem when trying to use the phone on T-Mobile USA. I put my T-Mobile USA SIM card in the phone, and the...

I've had mine for about a week now, and I'm in love with this device. It's by far the best, most responsive Android tablet I've used - and I've used a lot. My GTab 7.7 feels like a juddery mess compared to this thing. I find it very nice to hold, very light, the speakers are fantastic - and...

Hi lexid, I'm not sure how to reflash stock kernel, maybe someone else can help with that. I would think you may be able to find the stock kernel for your ROM by searching these forums - otherwise, if you have one of the stock ROMs downloaded, maybe you can extract the zImage from the archive...

Thanks maximoz and Goodm7sn! I reflashed a no-wipe stock LPY, replacing kernel with Franco's r3 zImage (extracted from the zip) using Mobile Odin with everroot and yay! Wifi issue solved! Thanks folks!

I love this kernel, but I really need some resolution for the WiFi DHCP issue. Setting static IP is a fine workaround for APs I own, but is not a solution for any APs which I don't own. Has anyone who has encountered the Wifi DHCP issue, found a way to resolve it, and get Wifi working WITH...

Well, I bought your GNex one last week. I feel like I should build the collection of them - like Pokemon! :-)

Damn, that's quick! Makes me glad I just bought it an hour ago :-)

I'm on stock, rooted (but not with flashed CWM) LPY and just flashed the r3 kernel. I have the wifi issue. Consistently fails at "Acquiring IP address..." Have tried 2 wifi APs, both on 2.4GHz with WPA/WPA2 Personal security. I've had this issue with various android phones over the years, so...

Actually that's a good point - the one in the drop down menu works pretty well if I'm using the device. However, to mute or unmute from the lock screen, I still have to endure the inane dialogue box. I cannot believe anyone with UI design experience would let such a stupid decision make it to a...

Loving the ICS release except for one thing..... I toggle silent/vibrate on and off quite a lot. When I do this, using the long-press power-button menu, some wonderful person has decided that I am so clueless, I need a confirmation dialogue box. "Warning! Silent mode will be enabled...

Thanks jUsT2eXy and k1ng617 - after installing the older GB XEU ROM, I was getting the same looping boot animation. I did a battery pull and entered recovery using Home+Power+UP-arrow - it immediately did a multi-CSC apply, and then I had options to wipe dalvik, cache etc. I did it and hooray...

Hi all! Sorry for posting again - if this is not the right thread I will move. So I seemed bricked after flashing the ICS md5 file using mobile ODIN per dr.ketan's instructions - everything appears to flash correctly, but then upon boot it will pass the animation but sit at the pulsing samsung...

Thanks to dr.ketan for the guide! However, I followed the guide and I am bricked - upon bootup, it gets past the N7000 animation, but then stays at the pulsing "samsung" logo forever. I have waited many minutes. After waiting over 15 minutes, I tried a battery pull - same result. I have...

My data on both Straight Talk and AT&T proper (I have a SIM for each) became totally unusable today. I cannot ping anything, speedtest fails, cannot do anything. The one time I got it to slightly work, I got a downlink speed of 1Kbps - yes I said 1Kbps! I thought it was perhaps a temporary...

Thanks for the useful thread! I've been using the mobile hotspot recently, on stock 2.11.605.9 and it is just awful. It stops and starts, youtube HD just buffers all the time - it's basically unusable for anything except web browsing or email. i am paying Verizon for the (dubious) pleasure...

Hi MrDSL, Thanks for the response! I had actually already tried the stuff in that Straight Talk thread you linked to, but it's possible I missed something, or did something slightly wrong - so I'll definitely give it another go. I had only really tried the stuff in the OP of that thread, so...

I want to thank you for this post! I got an International Note last week, and after a couple of fruitless days trying to get it to work well with a Straight Talk SIM (data was completely flaky and unreliable) I activated it on an AT&T monthly plan. I took the 3GB plan for now. The staff at...

I hope AT&T will still activate INs. I got one the other day, and can barely bear to look at another phone at the moment. Am planning to head to the AT&T store today to activate it on a month-to-month plan just to get some 3G action on the thing. The second someone gets it working on TMO HSPA...

Hi Neogrin, With the posted frequencies: 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100 it will work perfectly for 3G (HSDPA/HSPA+) speeds only on AT&T. You should get 2-4 Mbps downlink, or maybe even more with a good signal on AT&T. Unfortunately for T-Mobile...

I got the 3G 7.7 a couple of days ago. I'm in the US and ordered it from negrielectronics.com for about US$650 plus shipping. They shipped it on Tuesday and I got it on Thursday - how convenient that we had a winter storm in Chicago and we got sent home from work, so I could be home to receive...

I can't speak to what the official rule is, but mine from Clove was not charged any customs duty. In addition, I used to travel frequently to Japan, and always ended up buying a bunch of games and electronics. I always declared them on my customs form upon returning to the US, and I was never...

The only other downside I can think of is that it won't support T-Mobile's Wi-Fi calling - but if you don't care about that, and you have the money, go for it! It'll work great on T-Mobile, will work great on AT&T if you ever switch, and you can take it to almost any country in the world and...

I'm using on T-Mobile US (although I actually use Three when I visit the UK, several times a year) and I found one thing which *MAY* help. It depends where you are, if you use Three only on their 3G signal, or if you rely on their 2G roaming with Orange or whoever it is these days. Anyway, you...

Found it! Thank you for the link to "Airpush Detector." That, and a related app it pointed me to, "Addons Detector" both came up with "My Settings" by JQ Soft as using Airpush. I have used this very handy My Settings app for a long time on several Android devices, but I checked it's Android...

Hi, I just got my Galaxy Nexus yesterday, and am using it on T-Mobile USA. It's working like a champ, except that I've noticed a few weird notifications. They are not texts - they are notifications, as if they are coming from some app. My G-Nex (is that too crass?) downloaded a bunch of my...

That is incredibly unfair!! I imagine it would be so painstaking and troublesome to get it sorted, that customs knows they can generally get away with those sorts of things :-( ---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ---------- Woot!! Glad you got it...

Great to hear! Sorry it took so long, but now hopefully it will make its way quickly to you! There should be no reason FedEx cannot have it at your local depot by tomorrow morning - let's hope! Mine took a couple of days to get from Newark to the local depot - but that was over the weekend...

I feel awful for you :-( Let me know if you need the lady's contact details from me, I can PM them or email or something. I feel doubly bad because......my Galaxy Nexus arrived about 10 minutes ago! The driver reappeared, and it turned out the FedEx billfold had fallen out or been taken out...

My understanding is that FedEx hold on to the package and don't even give it to customs, until FedEx has the form. Once FedEx has the form, they "release" the package - i.e. pass it along with the form, to customs. From there, it's up to customs to review and then again "release" the package...

Did you get your extra one from Negri, also? ---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ---------- So glad you got that sorted! I guess Clove figured that if you were that insistent on getting the issue sorted, you probably were not an identity thief :-)...

Dustin, I would call FedEx and make sure it really cleared. If you have a contact of someone you worked with on Friday, perhaps you can go directly to them. If you don't have a name, let me know, and I can pass you the details of the lady who helped me on Friday. Whilst Clove did prepare and...

Mine is still sitting in Newark with "International Shipment Released.". I had hoped it would at least be in Chicago by now, if not at my local depot. I am hoping they just left it for the weekend because its not a Saturday delivery, and that it will make its way to Chicago on Sunday evening or...

Do you have any other form of ID which would have your address on it? Maybe a bill, or your rental or purchase documents from your new house? Something like that? I would email Clove (or call them early Monday morning) to ask what kinds of things they accept. I would also complain to the...

Hee hee hee I can't believe you did that!! Actually I can - 'cos don't think it didn't cross my mind too :-) I hope yours clears soon - did you manage to get any confirmation from FedEx that they had the form? I'm crossing my fingers that it might make it to my local FedEx depot tomorrow...

I would send them an email [email protected] to make sure, however they told me over the phone that they were tracking down all orders to the US, shipped via FedEx to make sure. Now that they know this form is required, I would expect them to include the form in all future FedEx US shipments...

Woohoo!! My tracking status now says "International Shipment Released!" at 16:25 EST. I am not quite sure whether that means FedEx release it TO customs, or customs has released it. Either way, the form mess seems sorted... We'll see what happens next. Good luck to all! Craig
