Samsung Galaxy Note size comparison with HTC Vivid and GSII Skyrocket

I was testing out the Galaxy Note at CES 2012 yesterday and have to say the white Galaxy Note is great looking. I put the GSII SR next to his big brother and brought along the HTC Vivid as well.
The AT&T branded Note did seem a bit laggy, not to bad but I noticed a bit compared to my GSII SR.

Nice someone who was or is there lol. Anyway hopefully the lag is fixed soon, like the international note and did you test the spen calibration?

The international Note "lags" compared to the international GS2 too. Mo' pixels, plain and simple.

LOL, yeah on the road back home. Actually the pen seemed calibrated. Samsung removed the original stylus and they had the pen that will be a assessory which is like a regular pen. It was more comfortable to use.
Also once you were in the application there is no lag using the application, again this could be fixed or not, but its nothing that would make me stop from buying the Note.
Samsung really was pushing the GNote, as it was advertised everywhere.
By the way, there was a lot of attendees with the international Galaxy Note. I saw the blue one and liked the back color blue, but something about the white one that is just calling my name. The white one does look bigger because of the color compared to the black one.

They removed the S-Pen phone dock?

Yeah, the lag is really due to the 3X pixels it has to process. So just have to accept it when compared to the S2. Hopefully ICS will help it out.

The stylus dock is there, Samsung didn't put the pen stylus because at CES 2012 show, most likely they would disappear. Even though in the lobby Samsung had setup a charge station with some Galaxy Note phones to try, and out of all of them, only one had the pen stylus.
Here is picture of the white Note which is looking nice.

Not sure about that particular cable but can say if it has Ethernet it is a 1.4a rated cable. One of the newest standards out. I used a cheap cable on my wife's Xoom and had non problem. Many places to get cheap cables.
Mono price.com. , merit line.com shoot even amazon and eBay. Maybe there was a different issue there.

I see that it is a crap cable I plugged it in again and it worked but it was a little off like with the picture size like I only see 2 squares of the right top side app draw button
Thanks I didn't know this was the new style I will exchange it tomorrow b4 I leave for Detroit test at my brothers house
Edit- also cable needs to be in one position or no pic its 100% a dud can't wait to play n64 or modern combat 3 on big screen!

What's this mysterious third port?

What port is that?
Why does this Nexus 7 not have that port?

I have a funny feeling its a HDMI port, but only for certain Nexus 7 devices. The Xperia Play Developer version had the same thing, but the normal one they sell doesn't have one. So it may be a "developers" Nexus 7 with a HDMI port.
Just my thoughts...

Yeah, looks like a micro-HDMI port.
Probably found on the developer and/or internal versions for mirroring to external display during presentations (like on yesterdays keynote).

I think you mean Mini, right?

Nexus 7 with no HDMI is a big deal-breaker for me.

I agree it looks like a Mini-HDMI port.

Well, from the schematics that were posted today, I have a feeling that is a JTAG port, since it's located right beside J1 (a 24pin connector on the main board) that has serial and JTAG IO pins. It would be good for the engineers not to have to keep opening the unit to flash it vis JTAG, which is a LOT faster than flashing over USB.

What schematics are you referring to?
Edit: Never mind, I found the thread.

The nexus 7s from the unveiling event had micro hdmis for presenting them on the big screens. That's where these pictures are from.

It's probably a HDMI connector. But HDMI is usually already supported (on other platforms) by running an MHL output over the micro-USB. This would explain why they didn't bother adding that port to production line. (It's always better to have to buy external adapters, right!?)
However, for the Samsung Galaxy S3, there have been some confusion, which seem similar to what you got there...
PS. JTAG is very unlikely. They'd never redesign the entire case just to add a JTAG port.

Wow, nice work digging up an old thread. (look at that date gap...). The presentation N7s had HDMI ports.
Go check out some of the other threads from this date (the day it was announced) and you'll see this question was asked, debated, fought over, and confirmed several times here on XDA.

does the nexus come shipped in a plain box?

wondering how the nexus is shipped? Wanna buy another gadget for myself...so hoping its in a plain cardboard box. Thanks.

Yeah, any old package.

(not sure why it says Manta double though, only got 1 )

I watched a youtube unboxing video where he had it with a nice looking box with the Nexus 10 logo on it, I'm curious though, what else does it come with besides the tablet?

The pictures these fellas are showing are the shopping boxes. You still get the tablet in the proper original packaging inside of that shipping box, like the ones you see in unboxing videos
As for what else comes with the nexus 10 box. You get the tablet, warranty and quick startup booklets, micro USB cable and a two piece wall outlet charger.

Mine came in a plastic bag, like the shipping ones, no box. Inside that was the nice nexus box (somewhat battered because they shipped it in a bag)...

Inside the cardboard box is some plastic air bags, followed by the Nexus 10 box Inside the Nexus 10 box includes:
- Manual
- Warranty Info
- Wall Charger
- Micro USB to USB cord
- Nexus 10

That's great, I thought it didn't have a charger at all, thanks for clearing that out for me guys

NICE WORK

I've created my own case for the ouya I was trying to make it more functional than good looking. It has 2 switches one is a replacement for the power button as I didn't want to mess with positioning the circuit board so I could press the button. The other switch bypasses the fan controller and gives 12v straight from the psu to both the motherboard fan and the extra fan I added in. The fan power from the board is still hooked up but, Its protected by a diode to prevent voltage feedback into places it shouldn't be. The way it's hooked up it also turns on the second fan if the switch is not on. The second board beneath the second fan is a cheap powered usb hub so I can hook up a mouse, keyboard, and a usb stick.

I would love the BDG case, but with shipping it more than doubles the cost, I wish I didn't have principles :/
Haven't found any good alternatives though.
