hi
I want to buy galaxy note 2
shopkeeper says me to gives sealed live demo of galaxy note because late shipping of original phone
I don't know different between live demo and original one
please tell me different and suggest me buy or wait
I would assume that the live demo has been used as a demo unit at some point.

I have a demo unit and to be frank it sucks because i cant connect to my cellular network, it wont even read my sim card. Am now looking for a way of returning it
Demo Live Vs Orginal Note 2
The difference between Demo Live and original Note 2 is that Demo phone does not recognize the SIM card and it is impossible to use it as for calls and sending text messages. All other options are exactly the same as in the original

The Live Demo Unit will have no baseband, an advertising video running (which can be disabled) and no lockscreen,
IF your thinking that you flash the Firmware from Sammobile or XDA you will get the base band everything will be as original as note 2 but REMEMBER FLASHING WILL NOTE GET THE BASEBAND
There are few more drawbacks.

Is multiview enabled?
If not, then I'm in no hurry to get att note2 lte.
I have international note2 with multiview,
it's really nice to stream live stock quotes while surfing web!

I went to a Samsung booth at a mall last weekend where they displayed most of their latest gadgets including the Note II and their digital Android camera. When I asked them about multiview on the Note II they weren't sure so I had to show them. I wouldn't be surprised if the AT&T staff was just as clueless. Let's hope people here will answer soon. If not I might stop by the local store tonight and take a look
i just picked one up where long pressing the back key does nothing. went to about phone - software update and it says no update at this time

I smell an OTA coming in the winds... One can only hope!
All Galaxy Note II does not have multiview installed by factory.....even the international version didn't have multiview by default....... it will be added by OTA update (when? who knows....but at least the sprint version has it now through OTA)...........
we just have to wait
There´s any mod or method to unlock the gsm functionality of the galaxy s6 and s6 edge?
No hidden menus or something to try?
Thanks
I called sprint and got mine internationally unlocked without any questions. Just renewed my two year contract with the S6
root and use galaxy tools
but anyone can confirm if it works? the thing is that you can find a cheap sprint version of the s6 and s6 edge, but without the certain of a possible unlock, its not worth it.
yea i used it
Please post a small tutorial of tools used, a lot of people will be grateful.
Do you know if its a permanent unlock? in what country did you try it?

hi this really works, i unlocked mine one minute ago, Thanks.
Great, I'm still waiting for the Galaxy to come to my country, will update my results.
Shatta in what country did you try the phone? Do you think it will work with the tmobile and att versions?
Can someone put a screenshot proving it?
I'm overseas and I want to buy a sprint Edge, but I need to confirm it first to buy the phone.
And... Does it only work on wcdma or does the 4g work too?
any tutorial?

how did you do that? can you upload the tools herem
Im still waiting for mine, will post a tutorial if it works for me.
Has anyone actually physically checked? I saw the Samsung chats, but nothing officially stating they are or are not locked.
Yes, FRP lock is on and no option to turn it off anywhere like on the Exynos model.
I don't see why samsung, and if not them the companies, have to be dicks about this and screw over their US clients.

It is shame. One of the reasons that I switched to Tmobile was because their Samsung phones always had unlocked bootloaders.
I learned my lesson with the s7 edge and didn't buy the phone right away this time around. My Note 7 with root was amazing, but we all know what happen with it.

I feel your pain. I switched from at&t for that very same reason and now all us models have locked bootloaders, but with all the customization you could do to these phones rooting and flashing isn't really necessary for me anymore. I just like the phone all around. It's a great phone. [emoji4]

Cancelled my T-Mobile pre-order awhile ago for this reason! Ordered the Exynos international model so that I can continue to enjoy unlocked on XDA!

But you won't be getting early updates and you may suffer when the gigabit network comes although don't quote me on that.

Lol... its a well known fact that the international devices get faster and more frequent updates than US or Canadian devices ever will.
I was laughing at all the guys on US/ Can s7s whining about no update to nougat..i had nougat on my international S7 edge mos before they did.

I had both TMobile branded S7 edges and international models as well. I found that I actually preferred the TMobile version for volte, rcs messaging, native video calling and a few more small percs. Yeah the international models was bootloader unlockable and had faster updates but I had to do so many work arounds to get it close to how I wanted and yet it still never did. I could have rooted and got everything I wanted but I actually use Samsung Pay and that'd kill that. To each their own. I also recall the TMobile S7 edge and note 7's having a locked bootloader still eventually got root.

True the international versions lack some features but depending on your use they may or may not matter..for me I could care less about any of those so no biggie but others may need them.
Id rather have root,twrp and roms etc
The root on the s7 and note 7 snaps was via leaked engineering firmware and it wasnt ideal...buggy, slow and just a general pain to deal with.

Yep, I had the s7 edge and rooted it but it wasn't the same as when I had the T-Mobile version of the phone. It was a pain. These phones are great and I rather use it to its fullest. I also use android pay and want to use samsung pay so for me I'm good without unlocked billiards for now. I have a bunch of phones I have rooted that I can get my flashaholic tendency out. Lol. My pixel gives me that pure android feel so having a vendor feel is ok with me. I will be going back and fourth. I also don't know how having an international version will affect the gigabit network update when it comes out.

You get what you choose. I chose a carrier model because it is superior in network quality. I can't root my primary phone anymore because my work policies flag rooted phones automatically and I stop syncing. For my playground, I have Pixel XL. Fastest updates, unlocked everything. For a reliable phone I have TMobile S8+. Like i said, you get what you pay for and pick up.
I mean hey sure the bootloader is locked, but once the right person gets one of these in their hands Im sure there will be an exploit. Just gotta wait patiently good things come to those who wait!

While it is software written by humans and anything is possible. S7 never got an unlocked bootloader. We got root with the eng_boot.imgs, but never an unlocked bl.
But I'm holding hope. The community is full of extremely clever people.
Really sucks, I recall the heyday of the Galaxy Note II and SIII, man back then there were like 200 ROM's out, Touchwiz, AOSP, CyanogenMod, etc... Root and Recovery available the first week the phones released.
And I'm talking the U.S. carrier phones too. Not just the international.
And then they all stopped after the Galaxy S4 came out. They released a firmware and locked the **** down like a Navy sub going deep. Note 3 too LOCKED. And forever the good days long gone.
Except the T-Mobile Note 5 was rooted and ROM. But that was a freak rarity.
Now root and recovery are things of dreams for Galaxy phones.

Whole reason I moved to T-Mobile two years ago, was for the unlocked bootloaders that T-Mo was famous for, even when Verizon and ATT didn't allow that anymore. The Galaxy Note 5 was their last unlocked phone, since then, the S7, and Note7 were LOCKED, and looks like the S8 is too.
Glory days are gone.
Almost like the Jailbreak scene, which has faded bad, and there's only a stable JB released maybe once a year or every 18 months.

Seems to have a small developer base ATM.
Check this thread:
Samsung Galaxy A10e - Is this the right place to be???
Hi! I recently purchased a Verizon-build Samsung Galaxy A10e (the "economy Flagship" / little-brother of the A10) but XDA has very little information on this phone. Would this be the best place to try to find/request information? :confused...

after some research, try contacting Boost Mobile? Boost Mobile is supposed to use T-Mobile's towers (Like Metro or [insert any other T-Mobile virtual carrier here]) the only thing that I know that can cause this issue is that you bought a used phone that was bought from a Sprint retailer. but the OMADM is an open standard* (*Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMA_Device_Management ) so you can just ask Boost Mobile and hope for the best.
