Does it happen often on your wife's Note 2, or just once in a while? Calls sometimes just don't come through on all cell networks.

You say you may miss calls if using data. I have not experienced that. I have heard of that kind of thing for Sprint, but not Cricket. Are you sure you have experienced that on Cricket? Would the same happen on AT&T, given that Cricket uses their network?

Re: can i connect note 3 with cracked screen to kies The problem with that is that it requires setup of the app, on the phone, while the phone still works, including a working screen. In this case, his screen is inoperable.

Re: can i connect note 3 with cracked screen to kies Never rely on Kies for anything.

It's not that I don't ever use my phone data for anything but email. When at home or work, though, I have wifi 99% of the time. When I am somewhere else and do not have wifi service, my service with Cricket probably is as good as any. ALL data services have good places and bad places. Cricket...

Re: Can't get past teamwin screen, sprint galaxy s3, please help Very odd. Not sure I can help you with that set of symptoms. I have the AT&T version of the s2 and s3 and have been playing with ROMs for about six months. I have used TWRP recovery throughout. I did have one bad backup, way back...

Re: Can't get past teamwin screen, sprint galaxy s3, please help Sounds as if you had two problems: first you had the bootloop with TWRP. You now can boot normally with TWRP loaded. But the second problem: your previous backup won't restore. Was the previous backup made with TWRP 2.8.4? Did...

Five lines with cricket, 2.5 gb per line, total of 100/month. Calls are clear and almost never drop. On my 4g androids, data speeds are poor at my home (zip 77808) but okay at work (zip 77843). I don't need speed most of the time though, just as long as emails can get through, so it is fine for...

Re: Can't get past teamwin screen, sprint galaxy s3, please help Are you SURE you got the TWRP Recovery image for your exact model, not some other model of S3? Also you might try unticking the reboot box in Odin and instead pull the battery after Odin flashing TWRP.

Re: Screen won't turn on What phone?

Use the following at your own risk. I write it from my best recollection but guarantee nothing. Kies is a turd, so I'm not surprised it gives you bad information and fails to help. I think you misunderstand what a factory reset does and does not do. Doing a factory reset does not restore any...

I was looking at the 219.99 ebay 2013 developer edition but then realized it is the Verizon version (XT1060) instead of the "regular" developer edition (XT1053).

I researched this issue a while back and ended up buying my wife the 2013 XT1053 developer edition. As others have said, the main difference is that you can unlock the developer edition's bootloader without voiding warranty. It has nothing to do with whether developer options are enabled in the...
