Are there any roms for the AT&T Galaxy Mega 6.3? I'm getting annoyed of Samsung Android. Want stock Android.
Nope. The AT&T Galaxy Mega is locked down tight. If you are on Kitkat, there isn't even root, yet. Developer interest has been minimal. I had this phone for almost a year and finally jumped ship for a Note 3. I liked the Mega but sorry to say, you are stuck with their stock ROM unless something big happens with development.

Hi, I just ordered my Galaxy note and gave my galaxy s2 t989 away, is there any way I can port some of the apps and features from my galaxy s2, like the wifi calling, NFC, bobsled and the mobile network selection menu for example, just like a stock T-Mobile Galaxy S2 rom. I believe both of the phones have almost the same internals. Just asking; i'm not too familiar with this but at least I have programmer skills. Thanks in Advance
Your best bet is master&slave. (a t-mobile s2 developer) ask.him, hopefully he gets his note tomorrow.

Okay gang, I need your help. I'm new to the android landscape (note was my first android device) and was asked by a good friend of mine to find her a phone.
She's looking for a Unlocked Samsung Galaxy series phone that she can use here in the US as well as be able to swap a sim card and use for service in Italy when she visits.
So two questions. What device do you all recommend, and where is the best place to procure it?
Thanks in advance!! I know this is a galaxy note forum, but couldn't think of a better group of folks to field these questions

Are LTE frequencies the same worldwide?

Agreed. The unlocked Nexus $399.99 is the best choice for now.
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Note™ - please forgive any typos
Here's a list of frequencies used by country:
http://allworldcellphones.com/gsm-frequencies-list.htm
Italy uses GSM 900 and 1800 frequencies which is supported by the International Note as well as the I717. I didn't see anything about LTE or HSDPA related figures, but I only looked for 3 min and clicked the first link.
My suggestion would be for her to determine what she wants in a phone. Does she want to take notes? does she want a small phone? As long as the phone has the proper frequencies, she would be able to use it in Italy. Most AT&T phones have the capability of running 800 and 1800 as well as many others, but verify by looking at the specs before buying. If she has a US carrier in mind (like AT&T) she can buy one of those subsidized and pay an unlock fee from a site (cheapest I've heard of was $8) and will probably save money.
If she wants to buy a phone outright I'd say look at the galaxy 2 series. From what I hear it's a great phone, a large community here (if she feels the urge to mod it) and can pick a new unlocked one for about 400.
Hope this helps a little.
any international unlocked phone will work. the international gs3 wouldnt be a bad bet. n7000 as well. you just wont have lte. I would not recommend an at&t direct phone because it will not be unlocked. so sim flipping could be an issue in italy.
International Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus, or wait for the Galaxy S3 to come out.

hopefully we can flash Tmobile ICS rom on our AT&T GNOTE for those who are using At&t Note on Tmobile networks. can't wait to find out if it is gonna work... At&t GS2 Skyrocket and Tmobile GS2 roms were interchangeable so maybe the NOTE is gonna be the same..

From what I understand, we can do it as long as we don't flash the radio and bootloaders. This is as long as they have the same hardware (except the radio of course). If they are going with a different processor, we will be able to use the ROMs but only if they are heavily modified.
As mha1021 said, it would be like porting ROMs from the Skyrocket to the GS2, but you can't flash them as-is.
Would be nice if this helps us get better 4g speeds

Hey guys, here's my situation. I'm buying a Nexus smartphone for development. This will not be my daily driver, my Verizon Galaxy S4 is used for that purpose. My two choices for Nexus phones are the Verizon Galaxy Nexus or Unlocked Nexus 4. I can get the Verizon Galaxy Nexus from a buddy for $160 or an Unlocked Nexus 4 for $299 through Google Play. I don't know what device to get and I need opinions.
Advantages for Unlocked Nexus 4:
Unlocked
Newer hardware
Better Design
Disadvantages fo4 Unlocked Nexus 4:
Higher Price than Unlocked Galaxy Nexus
Cannot throw in my Verizon SIM Card from my S4 to use in case I want to switch between it and the Nexus 4. ( I can however, do this with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus).
Advantages for Verizon Galaxy Nexus:
Cheaper
Able to use with my Verizon SIM Card
Removable battery
More storage
Disadvantage for Verizon Galaxy Nexus:
Older hardware
Not "brand new" (The Unlocked Nexus 4 will be)
So, what do you guys think?
Unlocked Nexus 4 or Verizon Galaxy Nexus?
Comment and tell me what you think!
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Gnex. It's cheaper, still has hardware comparable to the hardware that most end users are running, and Google will still support it through KLP. The crap battery will not matter since it's not your dd.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
What are you developing? Depending on that answer would depend on my answer. Dev work on a close to obsolete phone would be nearly fruitless. But if you are doing application development then it wouldn't much matter and I'd say go cheap

I have been hearing around the xda community that this wonderful device will be joining the blacklisted devices over at at&t and Verizon. I am referring to the bootloader. Any good news out there?

Oops. Does this belong in questions and answers ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Yes it does go in Q&A.
There are working models at best buy. I'm not 100% sure how you would check...probably just boot into the bootloader and see what it says.
The T-Mobile version boot loader is usually unlocked.

Think we will have to wait and see really.
Not sure when pre orders will ship, but we should be able to find out April 11th

I'm not buying until I know for sure. Even then I might go with HTC since KNOX Security sucks.
I'm gonna tell T-Mobile as soon as I get mine that everything's working fine, don't want a replacement, but note that knox was already tripped when I got it. Ha ha
Not sure how they can dispute that later for warranty issues.
Even though I'm probably not going to root it or anything for a while.

T-Mobile WILL have LOCKED BL
Guys here
This time around it looks like AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile will have S5 with locked bootloader. (Only Sprint's S5 will have unlocked BL).
1. AT&T started with S4 and continued the tradition there after (G2, N3 etc.) (Also no dev edition AFAIK)
2. T-Mobile started with LG G Flex and looks like it will continue the tradition with S5. (Source) (Also no dev edition AFAIK)
3. Verizon started who knows when? (At least verizon is nice enough to have Dev edition, albeit expensive as hell).
What does all this mean?
Well you can't have "traditional" custom recovery so that means NO ASOP, NO custom Kernels etc.
You can have a recovery called "Safestrap" which will allow you to flash only TW based ROMs and simple MODs such as bootanimations but nothing more.
That is possible.
Not a confirmation that the T-Mobile variant with be locked though.
With the most recent update to the s4 they could have made it locked but they didn't as far as I can tell. Just has knox on it.
Still will need to wait and see I guess.

Yup. I like the idea of a faster processor. Even if marginal. The finger print reader and water resistance.

Everyone knows development only really takes off after about 6 months to a year. Give the devs time to crack the possible locked bootloader.

Or anyone who has taken the S4 MF3 or later updates...safestrap only. I dont know why ppl do OTA's these days its never anything to help us only to hinder us.

I got a tmobile s4 and note 3 both with updated 4.4.2 bootloaders and they are not locked. what att do or verizon has nothing to go with tmobile. as far as the lg flex that was lg decision not tmobile as they are all locked. knox has nothing to do with a locked bootloader. I do not see tmobile locking the bootloader
Tmobile decided to lock z1s bootloader. Trend is pointing in the wrong direction if you ask me. Hopefully they don't lock it.

T-Mobile made Alcatel lock the OneTouch Fierce and they'll do it some more apparently.
T-Mobile Secure Lock.
Haven't seen that on any device so far and the article is almost a year old.

Alcatel OneTouch line are because of Secure Lock, and are still modern phones they are selling. You have the burden of proof on your hands. I for one wouldn't buy a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5 before knowing 100% it's unlocked or unlockable. Besides... the Note 3 is still unlocked and quite a comparable device!
We'll see in a few weeks.
