Galaxy Note LTE GT-N7005 Users Report Here!

Am I the only one using the newly released variant with international LTE? GT-N7005.
Seems there is no ROMs compatible with this new variant.

Hehe maybe check out Hydracore kernel? That one should work.
Better to ask in his Q&A thread though

I think you might be in the wrong forum here. It appears that your phone has dual-core 1.5Ghz processor (but Samsung doesn't say which one), and that's something your phone shares with SGN I717. If I'm right here there's not a single Rom or kernel here that you can flash without running into pretty serious problems.

Anyone got the root?
I also got the N7005 from Hong Kong. Anyone knows how to get the phone rooted or install CWM?

I think one of these people needs to:
Install Android System Info
Tap the System tab
Expand the CPU row
Tell us what the "Hardware:" field says
For example, N7000 units report "Hardware: SMDK4210"

Well... surprise.. the Hardware: GT-N7005...

That's odd, on every other device that field reports a general board type and not specific model number - for example SMDK4210 for I9100/I777/N7000 (and probably the Tab 7 Plus and 7.7), and SMDK4X12 for I9300/N80xx/I9305/Note2 variants.

There...

Kind Sirs out there, would this help in any way? Not too much info can be found of this variant.. Would this be the international version for the Note LTE

Your device, despite having a model number far closer to GT-N7000, is more similar to the SGH-I717.

Really appreciate your help and explanation. I find it strange that I cant find much info on this variant on the internet..

This device was only release in SG and HK so very limited users and it seems no much development on ROM, etc. Has anyone successfully root this not using the i717 methood? See link below

[Q] New to Android/S3. Bought Unlocked S3 and have a few questions about Cyanogenmod

Hi All,
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask these questions. Please let me know if I should move the thread.
Backstory: I bought an unlocked S3 off of craigslist last weekend. I bought a SIM card adapter so my nano-sim from my iPhone 5 will work in the S3. I really love the phone, minus a few issues. I can't get LTE to work, and the battery seems to be pretty bad as it's constantly searching and dropping my 3g cell signal.
It's running Android 4.2.2 via Cyanogenmod. All I know is that this is not the standard Touchwiz OS that ships with the S3 from samsung, and is a variant of the standard 4.2.2 OS from Google.
Questions:
1. Is my lack of LTE due to the OS? Someone recommended to me that I should put the phone back to the stock Touchwiz OS (via Mobile Odin), which would enable the LTE. Think that's the case? Or is this an issue with my Nano SIM and AT&T account?
2. Using this Cyanogen 4.2.2, I don't get any onscreen notifications when I get a text, email or calendar alert. My friends with stock S3's and Notes all get these types of notifications. Am I missing something with Cyanogen 4.2.2 or should I try to go back to Touchwiz?
3. If I were to go back to touchwiz, I was told I could just download it onto my S3 sim card and install/load it via Mobile Odin. Is this the case? This is my first time working with Android phones, so it's all greek to me for now. If I switch to stock Touchwiz, will I lose all of my aps and configurations and have to re-set it up? What other cool things would I be losing?
I really do love this phone and would love to stick with it over my iPhone 5. The lack of LTE, good battery life (probably can be improved with tweaks) and onscreen notifications are making it tough for me to make this my daily driver.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

Whoops sorry about that. I even typed S4 in my title before going back and editing it. I think I was a bit confuzzled!. I'll move it over, thanks!

[Q] I think I am selling my S4...

I decided I am going to sell my Samsung Galaxy S4 so that I can get the Google Edition when it is released. I spent a long time debating whether or not I should open the box. It's killing me having an S4 in my room and not being able to use it.
In the end I decided to wait for these reasons:
1. The Google Edition phone is guaranteed to have a stable operating system that gets prompt updates directly from Google
2. Even though the AT&T Galaxy S4 is 99% sure the bootloader will be unlocked the Google Edition ships with an unlocked bootloader which is nice.
3. No one is for sure if the AOSP ROM from the google edition will be able to run on the AT&T phone or not. It seems that it is likely but I need to be sure.
In the end the AT&T Galaxy S4 and the Google Edition may very well be the exact same phone but no one knows for sure yet and I would rather not take the chance. I listed my phone on Swappa for $580.
Do you think this is a wise choice or should I abort the sale and just keep my Galaxy S4?

You made this thread. You have doubts so I'd say keep it. You're gonna have to wait a month or so depending on how limited supply the Google edition is.

I made this thread because I really want to keep it but at the same time I will be forever mad at myself if I keep it and it is not able to flash the google edition roms. Touchwiz is not something I am willing to use.

Then sell it man. No point keeping it if you already have doubts.

Well if you don't like touchwiz, then I would just get google edition, the only reason I'm not getting google edition is I wanna try out touch wiz.. if I don't like it then I'll use aosp or a launcher no biggie

What do you mean a China phone? If I get the Google Edition it will come straight from the Play Store. I just like the idea of having an S4 officially supported by Google like my Nexus 4.

Google will be selling this phone directly through the Play Store. No way is Samsung re-engineering or altering their device for Google, they are simply allowing Google to resell it with their own software. I would be shocked if the Google GS4 is different hardware considering it will be out in just over a month.

The US GS4 handsets are made in Korea and China. there has been some discussion that the ones made in China are of a lesser quality than those made in Korea (heat, lag, etc)... I have one made in Korea, and haven't seen any of those issues.

At some point we will get Aosp roms on the S4, may take some time, but we will get it.

How do I tell if the Galaxy S4 I have now is made in Korea or China? Is the Play Store GS4 definitely going to be made in China?

Im not talking about touchwiz being stable. I mean if the ATT Galaxy were to tun AOSP would it be stable since it is a port?
Also there are several versions of the GS4 out now. No ones knows which one the play store will have.

Personally I would keep it you know developers will port the Google version to it. Why spend more money for same phone. Plus you know the Google version will be limited supply initially with long wait time unless you are the lucky few who order within 5 minutes of it going up for sale. Sometimes I think both Google and Apple make low supply on purpose to seem like phone are hot sellers.

Look under your battery.
I don't know if it will or not, but if I were a gambling man I would bet on it. Cheaper labor to mass produce phones that came back with higher demand than expected...

I'll be surprised if it takes any significant amount of time. The internals will be nearly identical, so once the bootloader is unlocked, the phones will be functionally identical.

Will Google Edition take Touchwiz ROMs?

I'm definitely going to buy the Google Edition of S4.
I know they have the same hardware as the rest of the US Variants but I'm just wondering if Touchwiz STOCK rooted ROMs can be ported to the Google Edition.
I will be using AOSP/CM/AOKP ROM anyway but I just want to know just incase I want to test out TW.
Thanks

of course they can, and the other way around is also true, AOSP roms will be ported to TW versions of the phone

See the thing is. There are more devs who will work to port aosp onto the gs4. I can't say the same for devs working to port touchwiz onto google edition. It seems like everyone here tries to get rid of touchwiz

i haven't checked any roms lately, but if there are any existing TW roms, i'm pretty sure it'll be very easy to port them to the google edition since it's the same phone

No.
It will work but it won't work 100%

Nexus 4 and optimus g were pretty much the same.

but these are the same phones.. externally and internally as far as i know.. the N4 doesnt have hardware buttons and the G does.

being pretty much the same is not the same as being IDENTICAL. Anyways, only time will answer this question

Truth. There's no "pretty much" about it in this case. It's the same phone. Shouldn't even require much porting, if any at all. Just look at all the tmo, sprint, and i9505 ROMs we've been flashing - no porting. No different here.

It be nice to get a hold of the google firmware and flash it just to see what happens

You guys have no clue if it's identical. They could change one tiny thing internally and mess it all up, which I could see them doing

What maybe different is most of the sensors maybe disabled like in the HTC GE version.

4G LTE
I just got a 4S I9505 and can't get LTE only H+.
(AT&T says it's because it's not AT&T branded)
I guess they'll try to add my IMEI to their data base in the next couple of weeks.
I wonder if the Google phones will have the same issue?
The info I've seen listed AT&T and T Mobile, so maybe not.

Yes, I've changed the APN settings.
Problem is AT&T doesn't recognize the new IMEI.
I put the SIM in a old Inspire (using a adapter).
When I logged into my account I could see my three lines and phones (2 Vivids & the Inspire).
But as soon as the SIM is back in the S 4 my account updates and the Inspire picture is replaced a general picture.
I have even tried to change the phone info on line. I selected Samsung but the i9505 isn't listed.
I'm thinking about using the IMEI from a broken vivid I have, but suspect it would be noticed.

This is one of the things with getting off network devices. Like my carrier only allows their devices to use the LTE network. Any IMEI in the network that is not theirs goes to get on LTE.
Also don't talk about changing your IMEI. It is Illegal.

Samsung S5 - Safe Overclocking speeds??

Just rooted my S5 and now want to use SETCPU to overclock, but I can't
find any information as to what the reliable speeds have been tried. Does
anyone have a reference for this...Its the Snapdragon 801 with the Krait 400.
Thnx

ALL QUESTIONS GO IN THE S5 Q&A FORUM
but to answer your question, no you can not over clock the cpu because the bootloader is locked (assuming you have a att or Verizon phone). For that you need a custom kernel which we currently lack due to the locked bootloader.

If the OP's phone is TMOBILE or any of the International Verisons - they certainly can overclock the phone - what is a safe speed? I have no clue - but I do know that the Koontze Custom kernel for the S5 comes with a TWEAKER ap that also has built in profiles you can download and several of them are OC up to 2680 or something like that. I don't have much luck with that High of an OC, my phone reboots, but your Mileage may vary. I suggest you play with it to see how the phone deals with the OC _ whether it gets really hot - whether it Reboots - and so on. maybe there is a more scientifc method - but I don't know what it is - Good luck and like the prevous post suggested, next time questions should be in the QA section...good luck...

your right -and I wasn't really meaning to say anything against your post -ATT and VERIZON are the only two that are locked I beleive - Canadian Users are not locked - I don't think US Cellular is locked either = but obviously the greater number of users are on ATT and VERIZON and they have been badly effected by ATT and VERIZONs locked bootloader policies..
anyway - good luck to all -

I think undervolting will have a better effect performance wise then overclocking as the 801 is basicaly allready a overclocked 800. Undervolting gives you lower temps and thuss less throttle and better performance imo.

Let's relax with the OC. Of course everyone has a right to do as they please with their phone. Ultimately though smartphones are not computers, the change will be negligible most likely a placebo affect. These phones on custom ROMs are beyond fast enough.

Not the only one. Or two or three. You don't have to unlock the TMobile 900T bootloader, it's unlocked to start with as are the 900W8, 900F, 900H, 900I, 900K and other S5 models.
Most S5's do not have locked bootloaders. It's only ATT and the N.A. CDMA carriers that lock S5 bootloaders.
