I think it's safe to say the community for the T-mobile Note is just about as empty as a legacy device from the old days. I don't really see much other then the Jedi Leader ICS and CM10 nightlies so i'm guessing people that aren't jumping up to the Note2 are sticking with some they consider stable.
So What are you running?
I'm running ParanoidAndroid 2.51. One of these days i need to sit down and learn how to properly build from source so I can keep myself somewhat amused.
I've been running liquid smooth rc9 for the past week and its been running nicely. I used paranoid also and really liked it, just not a big fan of the dual panel menu.
I've been messing around trying to learn to develop from source. I've been working on a kernel, but have been getting some errors when I go to compile. I haven't been able to figured out what I'm doing wrong yet.

jedi leader here for past week
why
I was just looking at this device... why so few using? My guess is that most people are on the phone rental plans so they opt to Note II or SGS3 or ???? on the Ebay market this one is still pulling a strong price . what is the base/stock rom for it anyway?

Are there any compatible Atat galaxy note ROMs for T-Mobile galaxy note since development over here is practically nonexistent?

We ar all thinking/wondering, are you keeping youself amused with building a rom
there is surely a lack of love for the Note but why? its specs are very close to the overpriced note 2...
they sell fairly well [usa] on ebay - go fast, and price at about half the price of a clean note 2 ...
I don't know if I can call $325 a BARGAIN per se, but its competitive with other thingies in that range
I'm running with pan droid 2.5.6 on my T-Mobile note one...
Just follow directions.. easy

can someone check my assumption here: I need T-mo WIFI calling app to work with no issues - I'm dependent on it.
I am assuming that an AT&T version [unlocked] is a no-go, 'cause at&t really wants to defeat wifi so it will not have the app.
correct?
i'm 0 for 2 on unlocked at&t phone attempts with T-mo .... its enough of a challenge just finding ANY phone, including those T-mo pushes, that will handle wifi calling app smoothly.
luckily i have had several that do so
I just switched from Jedi 4 to Liquid Smooth rc 9. No complaints so far. Enjoying the liquid splasher options. I did take Gnote from the Paranoid rom and install it on this one though as I couldn't find an Snote substitute that I liked anywhere else.
Hi OP! I have an att note that I got by reupping my son's line- he hates smartphones and just recently started using a keyboard phone for easier texting- he's 26. I have had this phone for a year, didn't use it for the 1st 4 months since tmobile didn't work so well till the blaze modem was set up for this phone.
I tried the stock t-mo rom when it was available after tmobile released their note. Didn't work so well- had heat issues. So have been running ptmr3's padawan for i717 with blaze modem- on the monthly 4g plan for 6 months or so. Love that!
2 days ago I tried the tmo roms again. Stock still problematic, but tried ptmr3's Jedi4 with the new mixed modem of tmo and n7005. It's working really well with great data speeds- 10-14 mbps DL, and 1-3 mbps UL. Battery seems to be doing well and no heat issues with this modem.
I would love to get the note 2, but can't justify the $$ and no way do I want a contract with anybody. So, here I am with my note that I still love, and I flip back and forth between my GNex for a smaller phone when needed.
For the person who wants to flash the att roms, I read yesterday that all roms between the att and tmo notes are interchangeable with no flash problems.
I did it with Jedi 4 with no other prep. I wiped padawan rom and data, flashed Jedi, and then started testing modems after it settled in. So far, so good. There are still Note lovers here
I just upgraded to the note from my sgs4g. Currently I am running PA but I like to switch between that and CM 10. Don't be surprised if this phone gets a sudden push of users since Tmobile is offering it as a cheep upgrade phone, also Samsung's in general are safer to root and load custom roms on. Even though this is not a popular phone, it is gaining in ownership. ALSO I like how you can load all the 717(att note) roms if you want.

to me its a great device. I may start a Bloatware guide thread...it could help some. I would hope all of you pitch in.
hate to sound ignorant, but which is "PA" ?
for now I am sticking with leaning down the stocker, and looking out for a Jellybean push from samsung.
mine is pretty fast as it is with about half a dozen or more uninstallations of stock bloat. i have plenty of memory space.
I got to the Note 1 via Nexus 7. make sense? I was using a LG and, like you, SGS4G which we still have [need to REALLY skinny that one down], so I get the n7. after rooting and playing around with various mods and configs, I was thinking: I'd like to have this 720p but integrated with the handset since I can't figure out where the big tablet fits in with my habits... plus I wanted sd storage, wifi calling, etc. so the logical answer: Note! reading the specs, I don't see that the very hot-selling Note 2 [with apparently auto-cracking screens...] is worth nearly double what I paid for my note 1.
Pa is paranoid android.

Well Shane is correct it does stand for Paranoid Android. I agree that this phone is a bargain now. It us one of the few phones you can get for less then $400 with out an upgrade. Granted I used my upgrade. I used the upgrade, because the old galaxy s 4g was two years old she needs a new battery. It was time to pass her down to my son. So down graded her from JB (it wasn't quite stable yet) to ICS and gave her to the boy. I was able to catch this at Costco for $50 (with an upgrade) So I jumped on it.

I do the $30 monthly with t-mobile and rely on wifi calling a lot since my home office is in a dead zone. switching to the "unlimited" data plan [100min talk...i'm not a big talker] in a couple days - got the $30 window on that. [btw... the data allowance on the 30 talk-oriented monthly is very small, but I'm not sure they can calibrate it right via wifi because I have used data heavily but never come close to running over, and a lot of times when I spot-check it the meter shows Zero]
this is a good handset. keep it lean and its as fast as any non-gaming person can use.
and I see far fewer screen breakage reports on this one [knock on wood]. there are a lot of busted note 2's on ebay hunting a buyer.
Ok I am not here to troll, im humbly asking and wanting your inputs on your most unbiased opinion.
So I have a tmobile line that is open for an upgrade.
Don't get me wrong. I am loving the big screen of the note 2, while rocking naked front massive hd display with only a tpu case. My white note gets excellent battery life thanks to its 3200 battery.
Now I can get the nexus 4 for free with my loyalty upgrade to get the nexus 4. And also free with 2 added 2 year contact with them. But this is using to contract another 2 years with them. And I must do a entire line to get this deal. (won't affect the phone upgrades tho)
Now my hesitation and dilemma here is this. I really wanna try the new blackberry Z10. Because it's new and I like being able to have something that isn't something that can be used as more unified social aspects. Nice. But I'm reading that people aren't happy with where they are now with the current buggy software to iron out over the course. I'm not too sure how long. And by that time, the new blackberry might be released. But then again, that's with every phone these days.
So in my conclusion, i've decided to go with the either note 2 or the nexus 4. The note 2 will be given to my dad for his retirement gift. Or I can just get another note 2 myself. (yes I pay for my parents and my bills)
So it comes down to this, I am a college student who is in engineering major. I love playing, moding, rom installs, and just having fun with the device. Battery isn't too much of an issue for me, because I do have a fast charger in my car and my office. So it's almost always plugged in.
My main attraction to nexus was their Google experience. Which I absolutely love. I know I can still the aokp rom to make it stock like the nexus 4. But these come at a cost of massive bugs and not stable for my daily work and play.
So my question is, can you relate to my subject and be able to decide on which device to go with? And is it even worth my time to go from note 2 to nexus 4? I don't care about the storage, because I use Dropbox anyways. I also have unlimited everything for tmobile. But I also need at&t capable phone that can be swapped for usage. (which works with my tmobile note 2, but I don't get lte) but in other hand, nexus can do both hspa+ and lte for att. And lte for future note 2 for tmo. Which I would love to use the nexus 4.
Yeah, I know nexus 4 is a hacker's dream. And that wireless charging is on my sight as well. What you guys think??
Go for the nexus 4? Or stay with note 2?
Also I do care about the quality of the screen. That's my main concern with nexus 4.
Push me one or the other to join the world of nexus 4.

Honestly, I reccomend you get a T-Mobile prepaid micro Sim, and port your number to that. Buy the n4 for 299$ and 50$ a month gets you unlimited talk text and web
And 30$ a month gets you unlimited text, unlimited 2g and 5gb 4g. 100 miniuts plus 10 cents an extra. It works good for me.
You save a lot if money on prepaid as opposed to a contract. And you get the same coverage. You could save 50$ a month eaisy by using the prepaid plan. Probably more.

hmmm, i don't know how unbiased an opinion you'll get here but anyway...
Having just come from a galaxy s2 I will never buy another samsung phone again, or at least until they work out their source code issues so that AOSP can be ported to their devices without the long list of bugs you alluded to in your post. The N4 has been a great phone for me so far, it's not without it's issues. The back's made of (non-gorilla) glass, the display isn't OLED (not an issue for me as I've come to prefer it, but some find it difficult going back to an LCD from OLED), no expandable storage, no LTE and a non-(easily)-removable battery.
None of these things are an issue for me but they might be for you. If they are then get the Note.
The perks of this device are the quick vanilla updates from google, the build quality (on mine anyway), the battery life is decent, the screen is sharp and natural, it's lightning quick and has a wide variety of ROM's that almost all run stable on the device.
As far as I'm concerned, BB10 looks nice but it's an unknown beast. Do we know if the upgrade path will be like that of Android, where devices can be upgraded to newer versions with improvements; or will it be like WP7 where the devices weren't compatible with WP8 (i could be wrong about this, memory's sketchy)?
I'd suggest going with the Nexus, it'll be consistently updated from google and you can change almost anything on it you want - let the blackberry come out, spend a year out in the wild and see what comes of it.
Whether it's free on a contract or not, you're still paying for it one way or another - no point backing a dud horse...

Yeah, same old question, I don't know if I really need 3G, it use more battery, and I don't have a car for GPS use, I use it only at home, for browsing, some books, reading manga, PS1 emulator, how much of you here, actually have a use of 3G? give me some examples from your life, where you must have 3G?

3G it's not a must have. It's just for people that use their Nexus 7 on the go and need connection to the internet everywhere.

Its just for mesaaging and internet. Plus, 3G Radio drains battery too much. The Wi-Fi is portable. In my place, I've got a PTCL eVo(My internet USB) combined with a portable router, and I carry it in my bag wherever I go, with my phone in hand. It's very fast and portable. I've never felt the need of 3G connection in my life. N7 Wi-Fi version is the best.
in my 3g device wifi not working after enter the sim!!!
in any rom!!!
verrrrrrrrrrrry bad
Do anyone here, bought the 3G for "just in case...."?
Unless you travel a lot with it + you have Data plan at your carrier chances are you won't need it.
If i need 3G on my Nexus 7 i just tether it with my phone.

Same. If i have a phone with connection already, why would i pay another data plan?
Actually there a hack for it, at least here in Israel, on some operators, you can ask for secondary SIM card, for you number, that will use the DATA plan from your number..I don't know if it's the same for other places..
I have WiFi only simply due to not wanting to pay another monthly fee. Like others, if I need internet on my 7 while away from WiFi I just use bluetooth tether.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The problem is, tether take battery for both devices, 3G is battery monster, add wifi or BT connection, and it will be dead very fast, if you have separate sim for the tablet, you save your phone battery, that is more important, than a tablet, there no such option like, share, same data plan from second sim? I remember do it with iphone and BB, and it worked great
I just use WiFi hotspot on my phone if I need my tablet for something that my DNA can't do. Which isnt much.
Droid DNA-unlocked
Nexus 7-Stock
I've got the 3G model as i use my nexus 7 on the go and i don't want to tether from my phone because it kills your battery quickly. I spend £5 for 500MB and its enough for me. I have every account i have synchronized on my nexus 7.

WiFi only.. Grouper have more ROM and kernel choices.
I am always on the road and mainly use n7 3g, while the Samsung S3 is just used as backup. Giffgaff on the n7 Tmobile on the S3.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I couldn't think of a compelling reason to get the 3G version. My N7 is really for use around the house instead of a laptop. I always have my smartphone on the road, anyway, and it would be unusual to want a second, larger device in tow. If I do, it will be to read an eBook in an airport or someplace and I could always tether in a pinch to download something.
If you're in Russia - you have absolutely no use of Wi-Fi only model, and the only places when you can get a decent connection are mainly some restraunts and fast-food (like McDonalds), or at home.
So, if you are going in a bus and remembered to immediately check on an important email - you better have a fast 3G/4G internet available on your phone to do the thing you wanted or have it to activate AP and share the connection
I think it depends on the costs. I was offered a second SIM from my carrier that will share my main data plan for an extra $2 per month. So I took it. I am not on contract for this and can cancel any time but $2 a month for the extra convenience is pretty good. I am waiting to see if a N7 successor will debut at Google I/O before purchasing a new tablet.
My tablet's not an N7, but when I was shopping for a tablet I really only wanted a 3/4g model. It's just potentially so much more useful; my previous setup was an OV and a 5" Galaxy Player and it was a pain in the ass only being able to do big screen stuff when I had wifi. I ended up with a like new TMobile 7.0+ for two hundred bucks and though the proprietary charger is annoying I don't regret it. The OV was replaced by an S2 and a Note but it was still worth it.
You don't have to have data running every month. I use prepaid and don't always renew it. I'll admit that US carriers tablet plans kinda suck on the lower end. 250/300 mb for fifteen bucks?? Barf. I only like the 3ish gig plans, price-wise. They should also have a soft cap but whatever.
Best option is 32GB version without 3G. 32GB has better flash memory speeds. I had 16GB and now I own 32GB and difference is noticeable

Preordered the gs5 and was just wondering how many other will be leaving the active for the s5?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using xda app-developers app
I stay with active till something's betters with removable battery sd card and lcd screen comes out. I don't have money to switch phones every year, switching them 2 years if lucky.
But if I would win in lottery than I would wait for s4 active 2 or 3 version. Regular s4 has much better software support but I can't stand AMOLED screens and fast permanent screen pixel burn in. That's why I didn't bought s4.
New touchwiz is looking nice and I love to have live hdr in photos and videos
Ah I forget Im still Knox-free so I can root without losing permanent warranty but still on 4.2.2 I need 4.4.2 for Talk back but without Knox and with touchwiz stuff. At best with new touchwiz but this won't happen
typed from dark room
Considering most of us have had our S4As less than a year and are on contract, I'd say it will be awhile before we can even think about switching.
I got mine on contract also but with the wifi issues plus a few other ones its worth the extra $25 to upgrade to me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using xda app-developers app
Oh yeah. I would have been fine with the S4A if Samsung had not ruined my phone with the ML2 update. Battery life is much worse (yes, I have replaced the battery with an official Samsung one), wifi and GPS are broken.

Hey all, I've been looking around at the next phone I want to purchase. I'm torn between getting my Nexus 4 repaired for roughly $140, or picking the Desire 626 up off eBay for about $90-100. Just curious as to what your experiences are with the phone and if you'd recommend it, it's starting to be a tough choice for me since I love HTC's products haha. Thank you ahead of time for any feedback!
I had the moto X first gen for over a year and got a new phone momentarily because the screen cracked. The phone comes very near to zero storage and is a very bad experience compared to my Moto X and I'm assuming your nexus 4. Development is at zero and sometimes the phone is laggy. After digging through files and deleting stock files after updating to the play store versions. I now have space with EVERYONE OF MY FILES STORED ON MY SD CARD and I had to install Chaos Rings 3 using foldermount...now then do I gave a very decent phone experience... So TL;DR I'd repair the nexus 4 or get a different phone. Trust me, I love HTC's interface and this is my first phone from them but above still applies.
Edit: I used to play Chaos Rings 3 on HIGH settings, in order for it to run full speed I must play on low. Just thought I should add that. The processor isn't the fastest or fancy which you might already know.

I think I will just stick with repairing my Nexus 4 then. I do love HTC's UI as well, I like to use my girlfriend's M8 from time to time and I have an old HTC Desire Z that I tinker with here and there. I found some ports of some HTC stuff like the launcher and widgets so I might do that on AOSP. I did take a look at the development forum and it is kind of saddening to see no development which was another reason that I was leaning a bit more towards the Nexus, I'm constantly tinkering and trying out new things with my Moto G and I did for the 2 weeks I had my Nexus when it worked I do appreciate the feedback, I was tired of hearing all the YouTube reviews that the people were all used to high end phones and compared it to them instead of from a budget standpoint, so it's nice to have first-hand user feedback.

I actually think that the HTC 626s is a great phone - for the price... For $80 (after rebate with MetroPCS), you get an excellent 4G LTE phone with a nice screen. The biggest drawback (in my opinion) is the lack of internal storage - and the lack of a development community (so far). Otherwise it's a lot of phone for $80!
If you are the type that installs hundreds of apps - or plays games on your phone, then it's not the right phone for you. If, on the other hand, you normally use a limited number of apps and don't play games, the 626s is hard to beat for the price. Also, with MetroPCS, you can get unlimited data, text and talk for as little as $30/month! The "unlimited" data is only 1GB @ 4G LTE speeds and the rest of the data at lower speeds, but if you need a lot of 4G LTE data, you can increase the amount of 4G LTE data as needed ($40/month for 2GB, etc). Hard to beat the price of the phone and the price of the service.
Just a few years ago, I paid $300 for an HTC Evo 4G (Virgin Mobile rebranded EVO 3D) - and it was MUCH less phone that the HTC 626s. It had such limited internal storage that you NEEDED an SD card just to install anything!

I'm not one to game on my phone a lot at all unless it's something like Alphabear or Dots, which wouldn't be a problem there. I do install a decent bit of apps but I have an 8GB micro sd card laying around for my Nexus 4. I would also be using it on H2O Wireless, since AT&T's network is the best in my area and MetroPCS has no service whatsoever in my area and some of the surrounding ones here in PA, the downside of T-Mobile's network. With that being said, I am probably going to get my Nexus repaired because it's factory unlocked and it's the 16GB model which is plenty for me. That and I already know what to expect from it, the screen alone on it has spoiled me I do appreciate the feedback, thank you
Interesting - I'm in PA as well (about an hour outside of Philly) and the T-Mobile network has been AWESOME for me! I get 4G LTE speeds most of the time - and the phone automatically roams to other networks as needed. Actually been very happy with the service so far. Had Virgin Mobile before this and it was HORRIBLE!
MetroPCS also supports wifi calling too, so anytime I'm connected to wifi, it does the phone calls over wifi , which is pretty nice if you are somewhere where you don't get service.

I'm about an hour east of Grove City, around Clarion. It has a partner network here but someone I knew had it once and it was not the best for our area. AT&T has the best coverage for my particular location, followed by Sprint or else I would actually go to MetroPCS. I was doing a ton of prepaid carrier research the other day for when I get my phone repaired
Hey - I'm familiar with that area! Used to live in Emlenton, PA *many* years ago! It's wild how the different networks are so different in a relatively small area... Virgin Mobile (Sprint) is absolutely horrible around here!

Hey - I'm familiar with that area! Used to live in Emlenton, PA *many* years ago! It's wild how the different networks are so different in a relatively small area... Virgin Mobile (Sprint) is absolutely horrible around here!

Ah good old Emlenton, I'm very familiar with that town haha. Quick sad note about it, the old Mill burnt down Networks are interesting like that. The whole reason Sprint's network is really good is because of Interstate 80, they almost always have service along it and I have maybe one or two places without service. With AT&T though, the only place I didn't get service was in my house since it's partially underground which is why I'm switching back to it probably next month after my Boost Mobile month runs out. Verizon is just horrendous around here, I keep urging people to switch to a different provider
