  1. I'm really liking my Note 2. But it's not for everyone. Sometimes its size is awkward. Like in one handed operation in the car. There is a one handed operation setting, but I haven't tried it yet.

     

    However, there are more times it's size is a plus than a negative. Just pointing out that it's not all roses.

     

    It is quite the conversation piece. When I set it down on the conference table in meetings, people always stare and ask about it. It is a bonafide attention getter.

     

    I was in the Church's Chicken drive thru on Monday, and the cashier at the window sees me checking S4GRU and she shreiks looking down into my car, "Oh my gosh! It is sooo big! Can I hold it?"

     

    Everyone seems to want to know what it is, who carries it, how much, etc., etc. I had the GS3 early, and in comparison no one seemed to care.

    Still waiting on one of Amazon's crazy sales. Isn't it about time for their 1¢ sale?

    I. INTRODUCTION

    AT&T Mobility Spectrum LLC (“AT&T Mobility”) and New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, both

    Unlimited, LLC (“Broadband Unlimited,” and collectively, “the Applicants”), have filed applications

    pursuant to Section 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,1 seeking to assign nine

    CMA 300 (Victoria, Texas), AT&T would hold, post-transaction, 68 megahertz of spectrum below 1

    III. EX PARTE STATUS OF THIS PROCEEDING

    Pursuant to Section 1.1200(a) of the Commission’s rules,2 the Commission may adopt modified

    or more stringent ex parte procedures in particular proceedings if the public interest so requires. We

    announce that this proceeding will be governed by permit-but-disclose ex parte procedures that are

    applicable to non-restricted proceedings under Section 1.1206 of the Commission’s rules.3

    Parties making oral ex parte presentations are directed to the Commission’s revised ex parte

    rules. Parties are reminded that memoranda summarizing the presentation must contain the presentation’s

    substance and not merely list the subjects discussed.4 More than a one- or two-sentence description of the

    views and arguments presented is generally required.5 Other rules pertaining to oral and written

    presentations are set forth in Section 1.1206(B) as well.6

    IV. GENERAL INFORMATION

    The assignment applications have been found, upon initial review, to be acceptable for filing.

    The Commission reserves the right to return any application if, upon further examination, it is determined

    to be defective and not in conformance with the Commission’s rules or policies.

    Interested parties must file petitions to deny no later than November 14, 2012. Persons and

    entities that file petitions to deny become parties to the proceeding. They may participate fully in the

    proceeding, including seeking access to any confidential information that may be filed under a protective

    order, seeking reconsideration of decisions, and filing appeals of a final decision to the courts.

    Oppositions to such pleadings must be filed no later than November 26, 2012. Replies to such pleadings

    as timely and efficient a manner as possible, petitioners and commenters should raise all issues in

    their initial filings. New issues may not be raised in responses or replies.7 A party or interested

    person seeking to raise a new issue after the pleading cycle has closed must show good cause why it

    was not possible for it to have raised the issue previously. Submissions after the pleading cycle has

    closed that seek to raise new issues based on new facts or newly discovered facts should be filed

    within 15 days after such facts are discovered. Absent such a showing of good cause, any issues not

    timely raised may be disregarded by the Commission.

    Is the front of the station wagon really missing at the wheel, or is that just an effect of the app on the photo?

    Ha! It's the app.

    Hey, what do you think about the xda member "regalpimpin" that said he has far better success with lte connectivity when running a cm10 rom compared to a sense rom. You already posted in that topic but I will link to it anyway:

     

    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959803

     

    I didn't notice a difference between my ROM, stock, and CM10. If anything CM10 lacked access to dialer codes that were useful.

  6. I think the big thing that facilitated the flip flop in updates between the 2 companies is related to who was/is working on a Nexus device at the time. When HTC was rocking out the updates they were just finishing up work on the Nexus One. They had access to the code long before any other OEM. Samsung has worked on the last 2 Nexus phones and we have seen the speed of updates increase because of it. Look how fast Asus got updates to their tablets rolled out. Think working on the Nexus 7 had anything to do with that? Samsung is posting updates to all of the SG3 phones currently. Think having access to the code while working on the Nexus 10 has anything to do with that? Just my theory on the role reversal of the 2 companies regarding OS updates.

    Never! They're mine! All mine! Ah hah ha ha ha!!!

     

    I gave my brother my GNex. That was tough to part with. I still have separation anxiety over it. So I will never repeat that. Never. ;)

  8. I just installed Jelly Bean on my GS3. Played with it for 5 minutes and turned it off and went right back to my new Note 2.

    Sounds like someone might have a GS3 for sale soon...

  9. As someone not currently in an LTE market, I have a question for those in a market being rolled out. I'm aware that in Chicago they became drop call city, in Indy did/have you experienced fluctuation in data coverage/speeds prior to any LTE development?

     

    I'm just curious for any hints I should look for, as an LTE hopeful.

     

    Thanks in advance!

    The issue with dropped calls in Chicago was/is so far a unique case. I have not noticed any issues with the upgrades in Indy.

  10.  

    Any device that had the 606xx PRLs will not use the 800SMR. I believe it was the 21xxx PRLS that the EVO 3D and I think one other phone had it (can't remember) did have the 800SMR scans in them but they were set to a lower priority than the PCS scans. I haven't seen a recent copy of that PRL range though as most of the techy people that could pull those PRLs have moved on to other devices.

     

    Even the 55008 PRL the new Photon and iPhone5 runs does not have 800SMR either. That's a puzzling one.

    The master has spoken.
