cmg1 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Aiight, here's a question for you Note 2 users MA7 vs LK8 vs MC2 modems? any one here from southern california have any recommendations? Reason i asked i recently upgraded to MC2 i get less 4G LTE in San Diego, i kinda feel like its Evo LTE all over again LOL so perhaps wondering about others here experience with modems of Note 2, i am definitely going back to MA7 modem because i hate to change between too many times to avoid doing something wrong My impression of the LTE in San Diego is that it's way too variable from day to day and hour to hour to tell if the baseband makes a difference. It'll be interesting to hear if going back helps, but I suggest waiting until LTE is officially turned on before doing any serious tests. My Note 2 (unrooted) got the upgrade on Wednesday, and I haven't noticed a significant change.

JohnHovah Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 MC2 hasn't been too bad in San Diego, although LTE connectivity seems to be less apt to take without several forced airplane mode toggles, but I would attribute that more to the testing and upgrades occurring countywide with the whole signal/site up, signal/site down ever so fickle jekyll and hyde connectivity I've been seeing.

cmg1 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Maybe I'm the only one who didn't know this, but I was excited to notice today that my LTE data connection stays active during phone calls. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2 Yep! While the Note II does not do SVDO (simultaneous voice and EV-DO), it does do SVLTE (simultaneous voice and LTE). Should come in handy as LTE coverage grows! Edit: I'm pretty sure this is because the Note II uses the same antenna for 1X and EV-DO and a separate antenna for LTE. However, I could be remembering that incorrectly. Edited May 3, 2013 by PDXmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I could be remembering that incorrectly. You are right. 1X and EVDO share the same antenna and path thereby making SVDO a non possibility. However, soon we won't need that feature as LTE is growing day by day. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5 using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only question is how much of what I read will stick with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I would call them shared transmission paths to be correct. Antennas can be shared. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD On the contrary, Google Wallet has been exceptional for me. I've even used it several times online, so it just makes the whole check out process much easier. Maybe you can try at a CVS, that's where it always works for me. -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefbal99 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Using the Update from the Play Market, Wallet now allows me to login on my Note 2 running CM10.1. Previously, I had to make a build prop change. I'm going to test it this week as the build prop change broke my bluetooth, so I never kept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert This is just for the Lulz, but the one time it didn't work for me I just stood there tapping my phone against their card terminal. I swear the casher looked at me like I was the strangest person in the whole world. -Luis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I used it on my EVO LTE when I had it and they gave you that free 10 or 15 bucks to try it out. The circle K cashier looked so confused and was shocked to see it go through. I told him it was Google wallet. He pulls out his iPhone as I walked away. I assume he was searching for his app. I saw the update on my phone this morning but it says it isn't supported yet. Maybe because I don't have the latest base yet as I haven't had time to update my custom Rom yet. Sent from my little Note2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my little Note2 From what I've read at XDA, The Unsupported Device message can be ignored, if you get prompted for your PIN and have a card linked, it will work.

S4GRU Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 On my Note 2 it says, "Not supported. Unfortunately, Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network." It only gives me the option of OK. When I select OK, it closes the app. In the case of the Note 2, it is more than just the unsupported device message. I've seen that before on rooted devices and just ignore it. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the latest Google Wallet version from the play store, and it was unsuccessful and still gave me the "Not supported" window.
