So get this..... Is this even possible? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

So this guy i work with tells me he was talking to 2 guys who work down the street at CDW. Apparently they both had Notes. But, they somehow managed to be running Honeycomb on them. Possible? Now this guy I work with knows cell phones pretty good so I have no reason to doubt him but I figured I'd ask anyway.

On our international notes we can run ICS in tablet mode complete with the bottom task bar and soft buttons which is probably what you saw

I was told it was 3.3.6 firmware. Does that make sense?

No sir. Honeycomb only came in 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.1 and 3.2 I believe.

3.2.6 was released last month - for a Xoom connectivity issue.

I would assume you have to wait for the Push to your phone.
Well with the update a couple of months ago I was able to go in through settings and receive it from there. This is kind of frustrating!

That's basically how I feel. But this goes to show why the majority of us run custom ROMs. We don't have to deal with any of this "crap."

In a vague twitter post? I'm less than impressed with what passes for a reliable source these days. Some, including myself, would laugh at an internet rumor mill as the source of any information. No matter who authored it.

Actually, the VM notification bug has already been fixed as long as you have S-OFF thanks to rootzwiki. Let's see how long it takes them to integrate that fix, assuming they go that route. In other words, if you are using the rooted MR3 OTA then you are good to go. The fix also works on other GB roms as well and I believe Bamf already includes it.

Eh, I didn't really word that right. I just meant that is where people are getting that info. It most likely was a Twitter post or something, but probably from the VZW support account. (which still doesn't hold much weight) In any case I fully agree that putting your faith in internet rumors is not the best plan.

All good. I just like to sort out the entitlement-minded barking moonbats that get panties in a wad when something doesn't descend from on high according to the gospel words of..... the internet rumor mill! They kinda drive me nuts.

Swype Beta doesn't support our screen size

The title pretty much sums it up. I went to swype.com, checked the FAQ's, and visited the forums. The closest they get is 1280 x 800 for tablets. We need 1280 x 720.
Bummer...
***EDIT***
SWIPE WORKS! The newest beta is amazing!
works just fine here
Works fine for me too!
I have the problem where if I Swype too fast it cuts off my word and makes it two separate, irrelevant ones.

I'd already done that, but it's a good suggestion. Maybe it'll happen less after I get used to it again. I'd switched to SlideIT and then SwiftKey before returning to Swype just recently.
I haven't had the issue. I have had a few instances of it bouncing around, but it was because I had another finger on the screen, or it was damp/dirty.

I'm getting bored of my phone... what do you recommend?

I've been getting bored with my phone, not because its a older phone now but it just doesn't have that fun factor it had when I first got it.
Are there any new apps that make your phone exciting? I find myself doing the same thing over and over, go into the 9gag app look at memes, read the news a bit, go on xda, text etc.
Get an android tablet and root it. Thats what I did after getting tired of messing with this phone.

I always keep looking for random games. Sometimes go back for old ones and replay haha. Glad there's still development going on for this phone. Trying to hold out for that gs3
Glad to see xrider and mrrobc still hanging in the vibrant forums. But honestly no matter what device you use you will get bored of it eventually. I have 6 devices most do the same thing.
However what I enjoy is HDMI my fave games like mc3 to my bigscreen with surround sound. To me its way more challenging to any console I've played.

I bought a transformern too. Prime is full of bugs with crappy GPS and wifi (you have to be nearly sitting on top of your router) and ICS is extremely buggy. The Prime was nothing more than ASUS getting the Tegra3 chip out before anyone else, but with massive sacrifices.
Manus - PMe me when you get yours and I will get you some link to rooting and recovery. There are 3 different ways depending on your build number.

You could flash MIUI, which has tons of themes avadible. Plus if you dont like having any launcher, you could just install one from the market.

I've had this problem as well. As the digitizers have been known to fail, I ordered a replacement. However, right now I'm on CleanRom ICS and have not experienced the problem (and it was pretty bad before). Previously I had switched between many different Roms and always experienced the problem. So, I don't know if it is just a fluke that it seems to be working great now or what. It's made me question whether I should go with the replacement when it arrives, or keep my current phone.

Try a different one or an older version of Meanrom and see if that fixes it. If it does, then mention the issue to Mikey on the MeanRom forum.

I misread. The OP listed only MeanRom 1.4, but the other did say roms. Does it do it on Gb based roms too? I've also seen a lot of digitizer issues from others recently so it can't be random.

When in landscape my Note keeps switching back to portrait periodically. I am still on gingerbread (waiting on ICS from AT&T). its very annoying.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Yep. Went for the obvious. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Even tried the various orientation locker apps. Still wants to switch every few minutes.
I suppose I can just hold out until the ICS release from AT&T and see if the issue goes away. I am also downloading the ICS leak and debating whether just to take the plunge. I was a flash junky with my Captivate. I have been rather tame with my Note thus far.
Fixed the problem. Flashed ICS.
