As far as the S4...even though it'll be faster I'm still uncertained as to how the battery will hold up in real world usage. That's one of the big selling points for me when it comes to the Note II. I mean I'm not a super heavy user, but it would be nice not to have to charge my device 2/3 times a day like I do with my EVO. I'm so aggrevated with it right now that I'm contemplating smashing it into a brick wall after I upgrade. Who knows? It could very well happen before then. LOL

 

With having said all of that...it's still in the back of my mind that the Note III should be released later this year. :wall:

 

yeah second that about the note 3 coming out later this year and most likely with the octa core version too watch just like what happen with S3 and Note 2, only good thing im up for upgrade as early as december 31, 2013 just incase i go bananas LOL

Well its been one hell of a ride with my old phone and waiting for the Note 2.   I bought 2 Notes at the end of Oct and was hoping they would arrive before my vacation, but due to the storm they did

aiight i have a question, i noticed there is alot of Roms for Sprint note 2, most are based on MA7, from my understanding that its sprint version radio update, now if i were to try to load Jellybomb based on LK8, would that affect the Note 2's services like signal, sms, mms, and net?

Did you do a manual update or is this now being officially pushed out? I grabbed mine from the Android Police mirror when it became available.

Pull the trigger on the Note2 if you have an upgrade pending otherwise you are throwing money out the window.

 

Yeah, that seems to be the consensus on what's available right now. I've been keeping an eye on the upgrade prices that are out on it right now. Most are back up to $249...yikes!! I'm kinda hoping that the S4 will be released soon, in hopes that it drives the price on the Note II back down a bit.

Little new here, but I'm running Whompasaurus with the latest Perseus kernel. Jellybean was just a bit too bright for my tastes. My N2 is pretty smooth and the battery sips when I actually have a decent signal which is about 35-40% of the time. I try to force roam, but Roam Control doesn't seem to do a thing on the N2.

 

If the N2 had a slide out keyboard it would be perfect. Would kill for a true premium slider. All these 3rd party keyboards barely make on screen typing acceptable, and I'm still losing all that screen real estate when I type.

To get rid of the garbage running.

The biggest incentive for me to root and re-rom at this point would be the following (in no specific order):

 

-abilty to load custom PRL's again

-add any and all apps to multi-window

-remove some stock apps (although I already bypass these so its a moot point)

-remove a few tedious features (sprint connection optimizer anyone?)

-working google wallet (seriously, why has this not been done yet?!)

 

In any event, most of these are not necessarily dealbreakers for the average user and can just be a constant nuisance for a power user if and when they can no longer ignore the inherent shortcomings any longer.

No screen shots needed as the only thing visually changed is the battery icon and LTE icon. On xda my thread has the status bar picture.

Sorry to nag but i've never flashed a custom rom. I am rooted. I have twrp installed. So i need to flash the all in one MA7 kernel then wipe the phone from twrp. Then flash your custom rom?

No.. You are on MA7 baseband and version right?

 

The kernel is included. Do a full backup first to your external sd card.

 

Flash the ROM, do a factory reset in TWRP. Then reboot.

Why flash that first?

 

That's kinda like loading windows 7 then formatting and loading windows 8 10 minutes later.

No need for HTC either. A rom flash overwrites the system partition. I do not however recommend mix and matching data and or cache partitions.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
