Hey, long time no see . :D

Well I'm always have it in my hands like a vise grip lol still when I read that someone else has dropped and messed up theirs it strikes a fear in my heart.

LOL! Normally mine is in my hand and I've gotten quite good at pocketing it before doing anything.

There was a time I could juggle a whole lot at one time with a phone drop being the least of my concerns.

Now, I'll drop a carton of eggs before I drop my phone. :P

I dont use cases anymore. But I probably am jinxing myself.

You probably are. As soon as I got my iPhone, I put it in an Otterbox Defender. I am not risking it this time.

Although I have a flip case on my Note 2, I have to be careful where I lay the Note on with the flip case folded back. The felt on the inside can pick up stuff that if i am not careful to brush off can scratch the glass. But it is still better protection than none at all.

I just use a screen protector along with my flip case and a modded thin case and it protects it from most things other than a 10 ft free fall :)

I'm so paranoid about scratching my iPhone even in the case, I kept the factory screen protectors on the front and back of my phone, and then just put the case over the top.

Well, my Note II is a little scratched now. It slipped out of my slacks pocket while I was getting out of the car and hit the pavement hard enough to dislodge the back cover and battery. Luckily, the screen is undamaged. Only damage is a few light scratches on the back that I can barely see and a larger scratch on one corner where the phone impacted the pavement. From now on, it's going inside a buttoned or zippered jacket pocket!

For some reason people state the Samsung keyboard doesn't auto correct. Mods have been out to enable it. I use Swiftkey as I like the customizations and predictions it brings.

I prefer Swype and that has suggestion correction.

what if I want it to automatically correct like the iphone? Not a possibility??

Stock keyboard doesn't "auto correct" but you might find one in the play store that does.

So Google Wallet works only if you root the device on the Note 2. What are the chances that Google Wallet will be landing on the Note 2?

 

I don't think it needs to be rooted. Just load the APK but it does show up as unsupported device in google wallet. It works fine though.

 

I'm sure it will be pretty soon as the only thing needed is for Google to approve the use with that device. Everything is ready on the Samsung side.

Modded samsung keyboard with auto correct and 5th row for numbers is hard to beat... -.- was never one for touchscreen keyboards but this was sufficient enough for someone like me that came from a whole lot of hardware keyboards

I spoke to my dedicated care rep today since I've been looking to upgrade 2 phones on my business plan. My original intention was to talk about pre-ordering the HTC One & get some feedback regarding whether the LG Optimus Elite or the Kyocera Torque would be the better option for my salesman since we still use Direct Connect. BUT THEN, my rep made me an offer I couldn't refuse...she said she could offer me a Note 2 for each line for $149 per phone.

 

Direct Connect? What Direct Connect? I have two Note 2s due to arrive on Thursday. Mobile to mobile is free now anyway right?

 

Just wanted to put it out there...speaking to someone at Sprint might get you the same deal if the price is what kept you from pulling the trigger.

Android Sprint phones like my previous Evo LTE, would not display the actual signal strength "bars" are displayed measurements of 3G EVDO/eHRPD or 4G LTE. It will also show u on what type of connection you on, 1x, 3G, or 4G.

    • Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where their is n70). Thanks!
    • I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip
    • Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]
    • Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
