Hello,
I am from Algeria. I want to buy a Galaxy Note 10.1 N8013 from eBay. What are the problems that I may run into using the N8013 model outside US?
And I also noticed that N8010 is more expensive than N8013, so why is that?
Thank you =)
N8000 is outfitted with mobile data as well as WiFi, so the additional hardware calls for a bit more funds.
As for issues, it's different from person to person.
I find that the multi view could use the option of allowing ANY application to run in dual mode, but fortunately there's a solution for that.
The notification bar can be annoying if you use writing apps on the right side of the screen,and the polaris office update doesn't work with JB update in US, so if yours has that issue, just delete the updated polaris.
Other than that, I'd say the note 10.1 is a pretty well rounded tablet.
Consumes as well as produces.
Win.

Thanks for the reply
But, I don't mean issues with the tablet. I mean what problems I am going to face with the US version of Galaxy Note 10.1 when I use it outside US, in Algeria? For example, will I miss some features and updates? Will I have problems with electricity...? You get the point
Sv: Are there any problems using N8013 outside US?
Since the US and Algeria may run on different 3G frequencies, you might have problems with the 3G service. I assume that the Note tablet is triple band so 2G won't be an issue, but 3G might be. The 4G or LTE is even worse, in Sweden where I live different phone companies have different frequencies, so if I buy my device from the wrong company it will be pretty much 3G only.

using LTE not right decision for this moment, due m'sia telco's still not get fully support yet. If u use LTE smartphones, u might facing with "no network" issue.Most of telco open the LTE coverage at some location for testing purpose..When u choose network mode on ur device as "LTE/WCDMA/GSM preferred" u can't see any signal. That's mean if u use for call u must be chg network mode as "GSM only" or u need use internet u must chg.network mode to "WCDMA only".
M'sian telco's not ready for LTE smarphones yet.That's why when u check on any telco device promo, they're didn't put LTE device on their promo..

actually i'm not much interest about LTE device coz performance & m'sian network Quality...for this part i can't explain further coz i'm working at one of m'sian telco..i bought my S4 coz of hardware..A15 & A7 processor, Samsung firmware easy to handle and freq. update.
I've facing lot issue about network and of course LTE..During testing period i'm sure LTE connection really good enough, but when telco lauch it wider u will get wht i mean.
Glad to see this thread active. Unfortunately, ive nothing to report of my 1 week old, still stock 9500.
Coming from a blackberry torch.. Im really enjoying the awesome battery life and speed.

Coming from the galaxy nexus, I'm loving the battery on this one. My only gripe is that the statusbar isn't transparent on other launchers like Nova or even custom wallpapers. I'm so afraid of screen burn in.

The best way to hv transparent status bar is using another launcher like you said like nova,apex etc or if you re rooted you can find at s4 theme at this main thread

Hi all!, i have the GTab 2 7.0 with JellyBean 4.1.2 rooted, i know that there is the 4.1.2 but my version has IR.. but, my version doesnt have SmartStay, like the S3 and s4, and i heard that the 4.1.2 have that!, its from stock or a modification?
That is a feature of those devices not a feature of android 4.1.2, simply having android 4.1.2 wont automatically get you that feature. Unless a developer decides to take the time to try and port that feature (if it's even possible) to our tablet then we will not see it.

And seeing as how the p3110's 4.1.2 has it, I'm sure the p3113 will have it when our 4.1.2 firmwares start rolling out.

SmartStay has nothing to do with the IR, it's a thing that uses the front facing camera to tell whether or not your looking at the screen and turn the screen off if you aren't.

I know what smart stay is. The op said he had the gtab 2 7.0 with the ir blaster and wanted smart stay. Well, ripper ROM works on that tab, and supports both ir and smart stay. It works most of the time for me, if i am in portrait.
Hence the word "and".

Yeah, it is not working for me now either. When I first installed this rom, it would at least detect them in portratit, maybe the lighting was better or something.
I use keep screen on, anyways. it keeps the screen on depending on the position of the tablet, upright vs flat.
Edit: yeah it depends on the lighting, because it is working fine now. When I move my head it starts to fadenthen when I bring my face back into view the screen comes back on. Still, keep screen on works better, great app.

Just a minor bug I have noticed in this otherwise excellent ROM. It seems that the USB host isn't working correctly on my tab. It constantly disconnects and reconnects both with a USB drive and a mouse. I am using an el cheapo ebay adapter btw. This works fine on stock ICS and PAC. Incidentally, the Samsung keyboard works perfectly but the problem is duplicated when the adapter is plugged in to the keyboard. Another minor bug, (I am sorry of this has been asked before), but 5ghz wifi doesn't seem to work.
Anyone else flashed this and noticed these little bugs? Otherwise, this ROM is cracking, really smooth and even smart stay works!!
Cheers guys,

Still away and not yet able to flash.
What can say is that there are posts regarding 5GHz Wi-Fi band with the P6800 4.1.2 JB. This "bug" is probably related to the firmware itself or modem/region incompatibility. Some have been lucky to fix it with a simple factory reset, others not.
The USB dis/re-connect may be kernel and or mount point related. I don't know for sure until I can test and replicate.

After a busy week tonight was the only free night I had. I tried all of your suggestions, thanks for those, I couldn't get it to work. I think I followed all the steps correctly, no joy. So I just thought flash the deodex version, bingo! 5ghz appeared straight away. No problems with connection at all. I have just to test the usb host issue now, will update asap. All seems to working ok on the new version, multiwindow is good. Nice white background on settings, and no mini apps, excellent.

Just to mention I have the same issue when I tried to mount a 64GB Cruzer fit.
All fine with 4.0.4 but mount/dismount issue with that great ROM I would like to use.
I want to buy the Droid MAXX off-contract to use on T-Mobile (my Nexus 4 just broke). But I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that? Verizon wants me to pay month-to-month and with a plan? How do I just buy the darn phone?
I had a terrible time trying to just buy the phone outright through them. I was at the Verizon store for about 3 hours. Finally got it, went home, then saw the dev edition was out. So if I were you I would just get the dev model if its not sold out straight from Moto's website.

Thats really odd? Couple questions.
What baseband do you have listed?
When you place or receive a call, do you drop LTE?

Does it hold LTE while on a call? Mine is setup just like yours and mine kills LTE, fails first call attempt, picks up HSPA+ then calls.

Thats what I was trying to get to. I was under the impression that you were on constant LTE with no issues. Now that you say you leave it on H+ that makes sense. Not to worry, H+ pulls about 9Mb/s where as when im on VZW LTE I pull about 8.

I had a maxx running 4.4 kitkat using the phone info app and settings tweak on HSPA with WCDMA preferred as the setting. I am in a refarmed area in N.C cant tell any big difference between speed when I had the Iphone 5 on Tmobile LTE and the Maxx with HSPA. Seems just as fast.
Then i broke the screen on the maxx -_- instead of replacing the screen just got a new phone since Im not with verizon and it would have been 345 to replace the screen.
Just got a new one but its running 4.2.2 and am using the same settings with same results. :good:

When I first got the phone I thought the same, I actually was under the impression the LTE wouldnt even pick up with my Tmobile sim on 4.2.2 Before I made the settings changes, I had my wifi on, LTE showed active on the status bar, I shut my wifi off, and it reverted to HSPA but did not have any active data, or any active cellular functions. I re activated the wifi, the LTE status came back but still had no cellular functions, the data I did have was obviously coming from my wifi and not cell data. For some reason I though 4.2.2 I didnt have to make any changes and HSPA would work automatically, but I guess not. Im not picky though as long as it works somehow, I am happy.

Maybe a reboot and retry? Do this for me. Turn off wifi and set pref mode to LTE/Gsm/umts. Leave the pref network to auto and try that

Gave that a shot with no luck. Was there a specific network mode I was supposed to select in the phone info app? I had in the phone settings LTE/GSM/UMTS and network on auto, i scrolled through a bunch of the selections in the phone info app with no luck, just HSPA and no connection.
Just got me the Dev Edition ordered. Says in stock but shipping may take 7days. Going to use mine on at&t for now

What is it? I have a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Wi-Fi only edition.
What do you want to do with it? I want my wife to be able to text to and receive SMS/MMS messages on the Note.
Where do you need this to happen? Anywhere in the USA, whether over Wi-Fi or 4GLTE through the hotspot.
We have an AT&T Unite Pro hotspot for her to use to connect when not in a Wi-Fi zone. It has its own phone number- not sure if this is needed for this.
I'm wiling to pay a small fee (<$10) for a good app, but if there is a free one that would be even better.
She has a flip phone for calls. I assume it has Bluetooth capability but I am not looking to use the phone at all in this exercise. I want my daughter to be able to send a text/sms/mms to her mother from her iPhone and the Note to receive it whether on home Wi-Fi or hotspot.
Any helpful suggestions would be great. She does not use any Google services so I do not want to rope her into a Google Voice account if I can avoid it. Thanks!
Well Google voice is free. There is no "roping in" you just sign up and pick a phone number.
Look into "whatsapp" to see if fits your needs. It allows messaging to all sorts devices. Its free for a year then .99 after that.
But as far as I know. The only way to send sms messages on a WiFi device is using the Google voice app. You can even make WiFi calls to cell phones with a GV number and an app.

I'm looking for something that is as transparent as possible to both sides, not something that must be downloaded by everyone who wants to communicate.
I use MightyText from the Playstore. 100% free. You install MightyText on your phone, then the tablet companion app on your 12.2. Works perfectly for me on my Nexus 5.

This won't work. She has a feature phone (flip phone) and will not get an android any time soon.

As was stated earlier Google Voice is your best bet. I used it on my Motorola Xoom when my work phone would not allow text. You only have to install it on the tablet. As far as anyone else knows it is just another phone number that they send texts to or receive from. It works great.

If you have at&t as your service for cell phone just use their messaging app...or verizons if you have that. Then tada....not sure if either of those are your service..I use the At&t messaging app. No need to tether. Just WiFi and sync
