Note 3 Forum division by Carrier

[u71n4444]

How can we get the forums split between carriers for the Note 3 like the Note 2 was or is that not a good idea?

 

[Instrumentals]

Seems like the logical thing to do.

I disagree, not enough traffic on this subforum to lead to a further fragmentation. Then you'll have doubles/triples of common posts, each with 1/2 or 1/3 or less of the replies.

I disagree. With over 900 posts I think that would make it more device specific and we might actually see the important things in the thread for our device.

Right now, 2 pages and you see 95% of the threads posted in a single day. If we split it into T-Mobile / AT&T / Verizon / Internationals, we're talking about half a page PER DAY of posts.

Are you really missing "important things" just because there's 2 pages per day? :3

The forum did that with the original Note, it was a brand new awesome device and got a whole lot of traffic and then they made it separate by carrier. Still, there are issues, ideas, solutions, and questions that are common to everyone so I'm sure if it's split up, we'll miss a lot more than if the forum stays united. Just MHO.

This may be a little pompous to say but yes. Stuff I post has gone unanswered because it was pushed off the page so fast by new stuff.

I agree. For example someone could post something about a case and then when I go to the site it says only for this certain carrier. Many cases don't fit Verizon editions of phones. Same for batteries.

I don't think that this is the case for the Note 3 as much as it was for some other phones. Other than carousel scrolling and carrier specific apps, there aren't major differences between the Note 3 devices across the carriers. I prefer one forum for a device rather than separate forums for each carrier's version of the device.

Its simple really.

If the majority of the posts are truly carrier specific then split them. If not, then one forum will suffice.

In my experience with the Note 2 forums, the vast majority of posts in the carrier subforums should have been in the main forum.

First Look at batteries tells me there is enough difference. I prefer seperate. Alright then.

So for that one post about the T-Mobile N3 battery (for example) in the T-Mobile Note 3 Forum, there will be ten or more other posts in the same forum that have nothing to do with the T-Moblie variant because people are too lazy to post it in the right forum.

Take a look at any of the Samsung Carrier subforms and its the same story.

I think it makes more sense to separate. The post are getting to be to many & the differences are starting to turn into a waste of time. Besides more than half are just Jelly Bean/TW related post & questions. At the beginning of my S3 & Note 2 experience I visited the other carriers for a while, but did not really help that much.

I say we split! Everybody close your eyes & I will snap my fingers & .... Wha Lah ... Did it happen

BTW ... when we split this forum will still be here in tact!

Cheers, Jon

It makes total sense for me to not be interested in a note 3 t mobile version topic when I have verizon.

Another example I'll give you. Verizon note 2 didn't have blocking mode. As a Verizon user I don't need to see squat topic about blocking mode when I don't have blocking mode. T mobile did I believe. At&t did I believe.

But to give you a more direct response plenty of people willing to be a free moderator. Let them move topics and such.

That is what they did with the Galaxy S4, carrier specific forums. BTW, I need to change my nickname too.. I had an S4, but since Tmobile was only offering the 16gb I returned, and waited. While waiting for the S4 32gb the Note 3 came on with a splash.. My nickname will be reading "cehowardNote3" in a couple days.. Oh boy..

 

[BeyondMeasure]

I disagree.... unanswered posts? Re-up them with a reply its that simple....

 

[jengobengo]

Yeah I'd love to know about rooting and unlocking my upcoming Verizon Note 3...

Well if not split topic.. How about make it a rule to put the carrier in the subject line. .example
Verizon**my note 3 blah blah blah blah

If you're you talking splitting by carrier then why not nationality as most of the traffic has no bearing to me here in the UK
