Hello people!
I've got my Galaxy Tab from US and now i'm really dissapointed, because it is CDMA-version. There is no CDMA-providers in my area.
You could think that it's simplier to sell this device on eBay and buy european, but it's really hard in Russia. Our major postal service is worst, in the best way they will deliver your item in US in a couple of months, but there is big chance to loose it quite.. and there's no responsibility..
So maybe someone knows the way to attach cellphone via bluetooth and use external 3G-internet? I think it's called DUN-client, but i can't find it.
Also i want to know if i can add other languages in Android. I applied 'custom-locale' from Market and set Russian, but the most part of interface (General settings, Calendar, etc) still in English.
Thanks!
I was curious of doing to same. Is there a way to, lets say get a blackberry to share its internet via bluetooth to the tab?
if you have a rooted android phone you can use wireless tether, it supports both BT and WIFI tethering

on the contrary.. i need to connect my Tab without internet to my phone (symbian) with internet via bluetooth.
Hi
I'm looking for the same.
but as a workarround, i conected mi tap to my HTC (WM6) with a wifi router installed on the cellphone.
I wanted the Note to begin with but went with the S2. I'm in the process of selling my S2 now on CL. I have a few questions first:
1. How's the GPS?
2. ANy issues with AT&T(i assume I can just pop my AT&T SIM in and be good to go).
3. Do market apps work fine with the Notes big screen or do they look crappy because they weren't meant for a large screen?
4. How's every one generally liking the phone? How is it to make calls on (holding up to ones face not via BT).
Info is needed:
I'm on a unlimited 4G plan with AT&T (already using the S2 now) <-----not sure if this matters
Anything else would be excellent. Thanks again guys. Looking to get this then throw a ROM on for speed, remove bloat, tethering (should already be unlocked since not a carrier version) and cleanness.
I have found that it works EXACTLY like the GSII. The screen has one more row for shortcuts.
You'll not notice any difference, other than the enormous size difference. I have huge hands, so the size doesn't matter to me. It's actually quite comfortable.
I just hope some better cases come out for it. There is nothing but crap available now.
Thank you for your thoughts on the device. I'm looking to get one ASAP. Espically since that and the S2 will get ICS in Q1 2012. I know the international versions will get it much quicker then the carrier (AT&T, etc) locked down versions.
GPS is best on the market, literally. its using a new setup that allows for access to many more satellites and locks on better than most dedicated GPS units.
apps are hit and miss. some scale fully, some dont scale at all. theres an app to resize apps though.
i dont use BT when i make calls. its a good sized phone. only downside is that there is a fair bit of leakage out of the earpiece, ie. people around you can often hear both sides of the conversation.

What is the app that resizes? Does the resizing make it look distorted? How's the facebook app and other common ones like tapatalk, etc

Facebook and TapaTalk both work great. No issues whatsoever. I have not seen any rendering issues at all. There have been a few apps that won't download because they say they don't work on a tablet. The phone shows up as a tablet in the Android Market.

GPS is Fantastic! Better than the SGSII. ( I had SGSII for 3 weeks and also have a skyrocket) I routinely get a lock INSIDE my house!
You can pop your ATT SIM in but you must configure the APN for Data and MMS.
I have downloaded about 20 (not finished yet) apps to my GNote and they all look fine!
I have only made calls with bluetooth. I have not held to my ear yet except at home. It seems a bit large to do that. My skyrocket is crap with bluetooth but the GNote has been great with my car.
I do not like swipe or the samsung keyboard. Had to download the gingerbread keyboard. I have used several but keep coming back to that one.
Typing is 1000 time easier and better. For the life of me I could not type accurately type on the SGSII...
The screen resolution will blow you away! Watch that video that comes on it! WOW! There is no bloat as with ATT.
I do not know if ATT can detect the tether or not? When I log on to my ATT account it does not show the phone I am using. Does anyone know for sure?

1. The GPS is fantastic! It literally outperforms anything else I have ever used, including dedicated stand-alone GPS units.
2. There was initially an issue with AT&T where a particular range of Note IMEI's were being erroneously detected as a tablet device on the system. This issue seems to have been resolved. Even then, not every Note is/was affected anyway. The only other thing I can recommend (apart from configuring the correct APN's, which you can find throughout this forum) is to disable Fast Dormancy. Enter *#*#9900#*#* from your dialer and disable that feature from the menu that pops up. Basically it's a feature that AT&T doesn't use, and disabling it on your Note will vastly improve data speed and reliability.
3. So far I haven't had any issues with apps. Everything I've used looks fine so far.
4. Generally I'm loving the Note. There are a couple of minor (for me anyway) niggles. Mainly, it definitely is a big laggier than the SGS2, but not to the point where it's a deal breaker for me. The lag can mostly be attributed to software for now, but I expect these issues will mostly be solved when ICS is released for it. In the mean time, using SPB Shell 3D in tablet mode instead of TouchWiz has worked wonders. The side button on the s-pen is a little difficult to find just by feeling around for it, but that can be alleviated by etching a # pattern with a razor blade onto the button, giving it just a little more texture. As for actual call quality, honestly it's the clearest and best sounding call quality I have ever heard on a phone, period. Even better than most wired phones I've used!

Totally agree! Been using the Gingerbread keyboard since my old Captivate, and even on tablets! By far my favourite keyboard!

Well, considering that our unlocked devices are free of any AT&T bloatware or other intrusiveware that would otherwise report the specific use of our own equipment, I'm willing to bet that the only way AT&T would be able to detect that we're tethering is to perform deep packet inspection in order to determine the kind of traffic going through the device. I have tethered with both my old unlocked SGS2 and now my Note using only the stock Android tethering ability with no issues. However, I would recommend that you tether only when absolutely necessary and not abuse it, lest you risk being spotted by the Evil Eye of Sauron. Basically, as long as you don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself, you should be fine.
I bought a Cerulian Bluetooth Mini Keyboard for iPhone/iPad (from Maplin in the UK) and it mostly works fine with my Nexus 7. However, I can't find out how to access four of the symbols €£¢§ that appear on the number keys. Can anyone who has this keyboard tell me how to do this? I'm writing a review of the keyboard, a link to which I'll post here when it's done, but I'd rather not leave this bit out. As you can imagine, the £ symbol is useful to those of us in the UK, the ¢ to those in the US, and the € sign to those in the EU. And I believe the § is possibly useful to publishers.
Also, if you do own this keyboard, can you confirm: do I turn it off to recharge it or on? It's been sitting in the box for a couple of days and when I turn it on the (previously paired) Nexus can't find it, and I don't know if it's because it has lost its charge.
Thanks for any help.
I am just wondering if anyone has had success getting Bluetooth Track metadata to be listed when syncing to bluetooth devices such as ones found in our cars. I have a Ford Focus and when I send media to the Ford Sync system using things like Pandora or BeyondPod, the only information listed is "Unknown" under the bluetooth category.
I know that this in particular was an Android issue and was not support through Android until 4.3 Jelly Bean. My previous phone was a Galaxy S3 rooted with Tasks latest rom running Android 4.3 and that device works properly. It syncs immediately with the car stereo and track listings are displayed properly as well as incoming text messages display on the screen.
This is not the case with my brand new Galaxy Note 3. I assumed that since it was running Android 4.3 and supported the newer bluetooth standards that it would perform similarly. That might have been my first mistake...assuming....but is anyone else having similar issues? Can someone point me in a direction that I might be doing something wrong? Im really hoping its just a setting I am missing and not something that Samsung decided to leave out or forgot about.
Thanks in advance.

It works on Note 3, in fact it works on all 4.3's now, I've had this issue on Nexus 4 and the last few new updates it started working.
You can see the name of song and artist and so on...

Thanks for the reply. I have had it working on a couple of 4.3 devices now, including my own Galaxy S3 running 4.3 and on all of those devices I really did not have to do anything besides sync the Phone with the device and send a Pandora track to it. Did you confirm it is working on the Note 3 in particular, and if so, did you have to turn any settings on or do anything special to get it to send the data?
As of right now, the song is played by the bluetooth device but no track information is displayed. This is also supposed to work for text messages, however I dont see that information displayed either. I want to confirm it is working on these Note 3 so I can try and narrow down a software or hardware issue.
Doesn't work on my Note, syncd with a Kenwood DDX429.

Maybe S3 did not the lates updates.
Nexus 4 is like the lates you can get them, and NOTE 3 just came out so should have latest.
I can confirm BT work amazing with all the proper displaying, SMS, pictures in phonebook and so on on my NOTE 3 N900W8 and my Ford SYNC, touch, latest firmware.
I did not have to do anything special, just paired and done.
Voice clarity and sound volume are amazing.
One problem BT creats a wakelocck "bluetooth_timer" trying to figure it out why.
Thanks for that.. So we have a Note 3 that works and one that doesn't. My Note 3 is an N900A on ATT..... I wonder if there is a carrier software issue at play here?
Can anyone else on different carriers confirm or deny the functionality of this feature?

After a bit more testing, it looks like my text messages on my N900A actually do work with the car bluetooth unit. Which makes things a bit more odd since I know that before I got 4.3 on my S3, I was not able to receive any information on the display. Once I upgraded to 4.3 then everything just started working.
Since your N900A seems to work properly it makes me wonder if something is wrong with this particular phone. I'll have to test with a friends Note 3 and see what happens.
What apps were you using that worked properly? Did you do anything special (i.e. settings, app settings, etc) or like previously mentioned, did you just sync the phone and everything started working?

Try looking if there is a new soft for the car.
Also I've checked the "bluetooth_timer" wakelock problem, and if you press "cancel" when phone asks you to allow messages, and you don't check markalways allow for the phone book, the wakelock is not a problem. Also don;t set phonebook to auto download if you have the option, just do one time download.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I just upgraded the car software to the latest release as of last month. I also ruled that out because the S3 is working just fine. Where before it was on Android 4.3 I would not see any info on the screen.
At this point I might be leaning towards a defective phone, due to text messages appearing on the screen but no metadata, but I will try some more testing. I have access to a second Note 3 that I will try to sync up and see what happens.
I am hoping I get some more feed back before I resort to replacing the unit. We shall see.

that sucks, but I highly doubte it's the phone defect, it's just software of the car or phone. Best bet is to wait for CM ROM for this phone CM worked always best for me re: car bluetooth.
Also some cars are just bad that way I tried my Nexus 4 on brand new Infinity FX fully loaded everything, the phone would not even connect to their system
My friend has Infinity EX35 2008, his Andorid phone would not allow him to play music through BT or cable, but I gave him my old crappy Iphone 3G and it works perfectly.
Try googling your car's smartphone supported list. Like this but for your car: here
My best suggestion keep the phone try not to get bothered by this and eventually it will work, I had to wait for about 5-6 month till it started working again. It all has to do with software updates and BT files.

I thought of that too, just wait for software patch or CM. Its my OCD that is getting in the way. The phone seems to work fine otherwise. I know its a little thing and it could also just be that the phone is newer then my car and car software so it may just take some time to get the kinks worked out.
I'll give it a few more days and see who else replies before I do anything rash I did live with the S3 just fine with no metadata before it got upgraded. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll keep your wakelock suggestions in mind as well.

Ford Focus Titanium 2013, I really appreciate it.
It always makes me laugh when I see so many people who have bluetooth in their vehicle or a fancy smartphone and have no idea what they can do together Its a curse being the tech guy and knowing what things can do and agonizing over some specific issue that the normal person/user doesn't even realize is there. I.E. metadata on the display.
Me: "The phone isn't working right"
Normal Person: "Does the car play the song?"
Me: "Ya"
Normal Person: "Then what's the problem"
Me: "Its supposed to do more tho...gahhhh"

Bluetooth AVRCP issues
I have used multiple devices in my car and the song information always displays correctly. Ever since I purchased my Note 3, I have noticed that my car's
display gets stuck on the first song's information and never switches. The songs will correctly play and quality does not seem to be impaired.
I have not found a way to update my car's software but I will look into it. Just wanted to add my issues to the thread.

Thanks for the reply, I would bet Samsung is doing things a little differently with these new phones and it might take a bit for the Manufacturers to catch up. I have also read on a couple other sites that AVRCP 1.3 may not be implemented properly and might need to be updated by Samsung, it is unknown at this point but hopefully I will be able to test this out with a Tmobile Note 3 this afternoon and report back on how things look.
With my ATT Note 3, I get text messages on the screen (which I didnt on the S3 prior to updating) but I dont get any track info.
Lets keep the confirmations coming, maybe we can narrow down a make and model and let the Carriers/Samsung know they need to fix something if its broke.
My brother is having problems with his Note 4... It turns the volume all the way down when using the phone while running on the treadmill.... Doesn't matter if the phone is in his pocket or sitting still on the treadmill, doesn't matter which music app he's listening to and doesn't matter what headphones he's using.... The phone has been reset and it didn't make a difference, the phone has been replaced and the problem persist....hes removed Pandora, he removed power amp, he's removed live wallpapers AND all at the request of tmobile trouble shooting process... NOTHING!!! the problem seems to be isolate to him and up until today's search I couldn't find anyone else experiencing this issue... But finally today I came accross this thread
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...olume-turns-down-while-listening-pandora.html
But still no solution
Been running all the Pandora and stock music app no issue
BAD ASS NOTE 4 & BAD ASS GEAR S
I also have a Note 4 and so does my wife and neither of us have similar problems with our phones... I'm looking for help with this problem, not more examples of the problem being non existent... If it effected EVERYONE then I wouldn't be at a loss... I don't mean to be rude and if I seem that way please accept my apologies... I just don't want this to turn into a thread of testimonials of how no one else is experiencing this issue.
Just for ****s and giggles. Did you try to use phone while jogging outside. Does it still lowers volume down? That way you would eliminate possibility of interference from treadmill.

Actually at one point he thought it was Pandora because he was using the unlimited skip apk version of it and in his mind that made it suspect... He removed it and the problem went away... (so he thought) then while jogging home it happened again... He calls the phone "Samsuck" and it makes me feel like **** because I recommended it and I know he's very frustrated... I'm the techy person in the family (everyone comes to me) and I'm at a loss... I'm not an apk developer or a computer wiz of any sort but I'm slightly gifted and I've been installing competition level car audio for 20+ years, so electronics in general are 2nd nature to me
Are you using any sound enhancing software? When I was using Noozxoide Eizo sometimes I was losing volume control by mechanical buttons and touch control via screen after I change volume up/down rapidly. Only restarting phone fixed that. Since I no longer using that soft problem disappeared.

He's waiting for his 2nd replacement now... I asked him not to install ANYTHING except Pandora and to use that to work out for a few days and then start installing his apps one at a time... (honestly this is not something he wants to do) He's already extremely frustrated with his phone (as he should be) after all its almost an $800 device... Tmobile told him that if he has issues with this one, they would start talking about a different replacement... He's considering the LG G3... However the way tmobile worded it I'm not exactly sure if they will honestly let him out of this contract and into another... I hope they do... I myself know how electronics can behave and my frustration comes with some understanding that the process of elimination is a crucial part of the process in problems such as these... But even I don't understand Samsung and there constant [email protected]$465sh%)t with these phones... WiFi connectivity issues, incoming messages and alerts lowering bluetooth volume, OK Google no longer pausing music when activated and for me mirrorlink doesn't work with my Brand new pioneer deck... And it's clearly a Samsung issue (I've researched the crap out of it)... Everytime I purchase a new Samsung I tell myself it's my last one and EVERTIME they release another must have flagship phone... I'm a geek and can't help myself but my brother unfortunately just wants something that works without all these issues... He doesn't own a pc and I've taught him how to torrent straight to his device and he's hooked!!! Unlimited skip Pandora apk also is a must have for him and for those 2 reasons I can not recommend an iPhone but otherwise an iPhone would be a better fit for him... For me? Android all the way, all the time!! Thanks everyone for trying to help, I truly appreciate it
Assuming that your mirror link deck is 1.1 version try use this quide.

Thanks... It's a 2015 deck and although I don't remember the software version number I do know it's the same version mirrorlink as the note 4... Pioneer customer service assured me it was the device I needed for Note 4 compatibility... I'll try it, although the instructions are a little strange... Bluetooth has to be on?? As soon as the radio sees a USB connection, it disables Bluetooth and the other was make sure my phone is connected to WiFi or a network connection? Not sure what that's about??? I would have to deliberately turn it off so I'm sure it was on the last time I tried to enable mirrorlink.
