Nice to meet you.... C ya aroud. - Streak 5 General

It was a very successful experience with you mates and Dell Streak. But it is the time to go. I have decided to replace my Dell Streak with Galaxy note. My most important key is the screen and there is no huge difference. However, there are other features force me to go with GN i.e. LTE, S-Pen, CPU and extra 0.3" .
I have note contributed in this forum as other do. Thanks a lot for the support.
C ya around.

Can you please l list some benefits as I am also planning to move
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA

Benefits - much better screen and resolution, much faster cpu, bigger user base so there are more roms and developers.
Only thing better about the Streak is the build quality. The Note feels like you could break it if you held it wrong.
Oh yeah biggest plus for Note: CyanogenMod 9 !

I switched to HTC Titan II over the weekend. Streak is wifi tablet and Kindle reader at the moment.

My Fear is that this will have Dell Streak-destiny/poor dev support

I love it first off...I have issues as all do with first releases...but all the issues on other devices have always been eradicated with the great devs on the forum.
I'm sensing that because this is still percieved as a novelty device (and it very well might die as a Samsung new category device...primarily due to its fusion/compromise of tablet and phone...not ever satisfying either) ....because of that fact I fear developers just wont spend the time creating the great roms/kernels as the Evo's and GS2's have enjoyed.
Hope I'm wrong.
Have 9 days left to possibly return or sell. My Epic Touch just kick its ass in general speed (I'm still stunned at the extent that this is the case).
Anyway, that's the general fear...wanted to get it out there and off the chest!
thanks
Dell Streak was a fairly unstable device with very little exposure, so it's adoption was much less. Samsung on the other hand is going out of it's way to advertise Galaxy Note, I am even starting to see TV ads when the device hasn't hit the market yet. Plus Note has a lot of similarity with Galaxy S2 in terms of internals, so it enjoys quite a lot of already established research and development. I mean we had a root and a custom recovery literally within the same week of its release.
I know of a few talented devs getting the device soon.
Dell Streak was a poorly advertised device. But a really good one.
Galaxy note on the other hand is a close relative of SGSII. so easier in terms of development.

It probably won't get the same dev attention as say the nexus one or galaxy nexus, but personally I'm not too bothered about that. The note is a bit of a niche device. The Samsung apps specific to the Note look like they're pretty good already, and I believe Samsung are releasing APIs for the s-pen soon, and on the horizon is ICS with pen APIs built in.
From what I can see though, there's a lot more anticipation about the Note than for example the Galaxy Tab 7", which was also a niche phone + tablet hybrid. I expect a lot more dev love for this than there was for the Tab.

And to be fair, the GTab7 did/does see enough dev support to make it worthwhile.
I'd expect the Note to be more popular than the GTab7 because:
a) It's superior in almost every regard to the Galaxy Nexus (IMO)
b) It will get official ICS at some point

When the Dell Streak was launched nearly all smart phones were small, but the trend is now away from small phones. Samsung believes that most people would prefer to carry a Note than carry a large tablet plus small phone and I think they are right. Most people will be very happy with the Note, even if there is no development in forums, because it is such a great phone.
Encouraging responses!
It seems I've taken a 3 year back step in Device responsiveness, tho.
Interesting because one of the final selling moments was review statement such as this:
From Engadget:
" Performance and battery life
The Galaxy Note may slot squarely in between a phone and a tablet in terms of physical dimensions, but when it comes to performance we're happy to report it leans much closer to the latter than the former -- in many cases surpassing even that class of devices. We ran it through the gamut of typical benchmarks and found nearly everything predictably out-pacing this device's Galaxy S II predecessor.
In quadrant this husky phone threw down a 3,998, compared to the GS II's 3,200. Linpack single and multi found 64.30 and 95.66 MFLOPS, compared to 55 and 81. Nenamark 1 and 2 resulted in 57.67 and 32.8, it hit 51.77 at Neocore and ran through SunSpider in 2,902ms. These are very, very good scores, out-classing the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in most cases and really raising the smartphone bar.

Note has a lot of crap running in its background, even then it manages to be on par or beat the Galaxy S2. Plus I believe it's software isn't properly optimized for that resolution. Time will fix these. Hardware wise, the Note is miles better than the Galaxy Nexus. Pure AOSP Android 4 should be absolutely faultless on the Note.

I agree, I didn't see anything particularly exceptional with the Galaxy Nexus, at least at the hardware level. Which is a pity, as it was going to be the natural replacement for my ageing but still brilliant Nexus One... The lack of an SD slot and no obvious availability here in the UK of the 32GB version was the final nail in the coffin. The Note is actually pretty powerful from a hardware perspective. I'm sure ICS will run extremely well on it. Coupled with confirmation that 64GB sd cards work fine in it, makes it a pretty powerful and capacious device .
There is root and I am a TouchWiz keeper, battery lasts longer than GS2, regular apps run, getting ICS - I guess I wouldn't be needing dev support.
Edited: And I am not super hungry for ICS at version 4.0, I can wait until 4.0.4 when ICS is finally super stable.
i'm just waiting for Cyanogenmod to make it's way over ... it IS coming, right...?

Coming from the Dell Streak 5 myself, I know EXACTLY how you feel. I flashed as many ROMs as were available -- all TWO OF THEM!!
Amazingly, my son STILL USES my HD2 because it never gets OLD--he can change to a new ROM almost DAILY. There has to be about 82 million ROMs for that thing!
Now that I just picked up the SGN on Friday, I too am hoping the SGN will get that kind of love!!

I completely understand how you feel, coming from the streak.
I got the streak in Oct last year, because 2.x was "coming soon". Gave up and did it myself in December. I'm still on 2.2.2, which is super stable for me.
I've looked at the SGS2, but that 4.3" screen is just too hard to get use to.
If someone in the states would offer the Note, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I'm not sure I want to get one from overseas...just yet. Bought several items from HK, but, nothing almost a grand in price.

Well, the Tab 7 had lots of rommers basically modifying stock with some UI tweaks, and Technomancer doing a proper job with CM7. Nowhere near the likes of something like the Nexus One where lots of real development took place.
I can see lots of development of the Note in comparison, especially once Samsung drop the source. Even more activity once it moves to ICS. I think there are reasonably long legs in this device for devs to come on board.
I am concerned as well. Actually, this is the only reason why I have still not purchased the Galaxy Note.
Are there any good developers who have already promised to support this phone?

Tomorrow I Make The Leap Streak to NOTE

Hi Guys
Tomorrow I upgrade from Dell Streak 5 to Samsung Galaxy NOTE !
Bit unsure so please convince me I am 100% right doing this I am 99% sure
Love the Dell Streak hoping I am gonna love the NOTE even more for the next two years
Any Streak owners out there made the same move ?
I'm just waiting for the white Note to make an official appearance in the UK and then I'll be doing the same ... Trying to justify to myself that I need that extra 0.3 of an inch but the overall performance compared to the Streak and future android updates are the clinchers for me

been using dell for year, Note is much better, you won't be disappointed... dell is good, but note is a lot lighter and faster...
I had the Streak for a while and while it was good, the Note is a lot better in my opinion. You won't regret it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I had the Streak and really loved it. I would flash every new Streakdroid rom that DJ Steve made. But it reached a point of diminishing returns where no matter how good the new ROMs were the device performance was not improving much. So I swapped it out for a Galaxy SII over the summer and didn't miss the size so much. But when I saw the Note I knew I had to have it. It is so much better than the Streak, faster, better screen, and I love the SPen. I can go into a meeting or seminar and take notes on the Note and not worry about carrying a separate notebook. Even though its not noticeably thinner than the Streak, it just feels better in your hand, mostly due to the difference in weight.
So, basically, my advice is to go for it. You will love the Note and not regret it for a moment.

The difference in physical screen size pales in comparison to the difference in resolution! IMO, the Streak should have been 1024x600, or qHD, at the very least.

I'm also a refugee from streak land.
I loved the Streak, but was disappointed by Dell's lack of marketing and support.
My first 2 weeks with the note blow the streak out of the water. The screen is brighter and crisper. The UI is responsive and it seem likely that Samsung will support the device with updates for far longer than Dell.
The only downside so far is the touch wiz UI being aimed at portrait use only. I know other launchers will offer that option, but I've heard that they are a bit slower. When i get time, i will have to try them out.

The "Note" Dilemma we will face soon.......

Samsung SGS III...
So how many who said they cannot go smaller will do just that to get the SGS III?
I think it will be interesting to see if I will after enjoying this "phoneblet"
If the screen size of the G3 is around 4.7 inch or larger I will seriously consider it the purchase/upgrade. Anything below this size is to small for me.
I agree its a problem. any normal size screen is titchy! it wouls however be a real silema if apple released a 4.7" iphone 5!
Good thing hoqwver the note still has decent resale values. . The htc one x looks nice but note with ics will be better!

I don't see Apple in the picture for me at all. LOL...Too much Cuperton control. I would miss a lot more than the screen would make up for.
Smaller screen, no improvment in resolution/qualityt, no S-pen, a useless quadcore that only 1% of the games (gameloft ones) will use. 12Mpx camera that i dont need cause i already have a real camera (and a phone camera will never match a real one), nothing here can use NFC (in france).
Conclusion, i'm fine with my note.
It's not going to cast a shadow on the pure functionality of the g note.
Won't even be considering trading

Thats exactly the point! I noticed it as i went to a mobile store and played a bit with the nexus. For me, the working screen space on 4.7 " was significant smaller than on my Note. Before the SGN, i had an Dell Streak. Due to Dell used Monkeys to write the touchscreen driver and no devs wanted to hassle with the driver, the development stoped at Gingerbread at Beta. Streak has an 5 " Screen. I cant go on smaller size.
Actually my Note is running on 1,2 Ghz (ICS). My Device is speedy and functional. i cant imagine, that Quadcore would boost the daily phone or text experience that much. Games woud run quick as hell, hands down. but for my purposes, Note ist the best Device i ever owned and won´t get back on smaller screen.
No...
No I won't. I need to spend my money on other things and I love my Note too much already. :3
If a Note 2 comes out, defs !

Nice! Wish I had that kind of money. I've owned almost every flag ship android device the past two years, but I always traded an had one at the time. Wish I could have them all still but the note is the best one so far. And I doubt that I am going to trade it for the GSIII. I love the screen size. We'll see when the SIII comes out. The One X also kinda turn me on.
I am not a frequent phone changer, had a n73 before note and won't be changing phone a couple of years. Hopefully there'll be more devices in the 5-6 inc range by then.

I also disliked the software buttons on my galaxy nexus. I am a big fan of the home button on the note though. Very nice.
I am not considering the Galaxy S III at all and the reason for that is the Note's abilities. The screen is perfectly sized and it supports the S-Pen, something that enhances the usability.
On the other hand, the S III is interesting since it will be an "early preview" of what Note II will offer since it is highly probable that the next Note will be based heavily on it.
Therefore, it will be possible to get an early impression of what the next Note will be.
Now with the 5.3" screen - going smaller is extremely hard. My old HD2 feels tiny in comparison.

Note 2 to Nexus 4?

I really want to get the Nexus 4 but I just got the Note 2. Wondering if its work the move from Note 2 to Nexus 4.
Yes I live the pure Android experience, but I want to know what you guys think in all honest. Aside from the pure Android exoerienxe, would you do it if you were me.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
To each their own. No one can tell you which one you'll like better. If you like the Note 2, stick with it, you already have it
If you like a screen this big, there is no reason to switch to a smaller one. If the Note II is too big for you, you could switch. Aside from that, I think nobody can really help you with that decision. Getting the pure stock experience should be easily achievable with custom ASOP roms.
Simply put, Keep the Beast that is... The Note 2, I too am a hard-core purist when it comes to Android but, watching videos like the following leave me awestruck and wonder why I own 4 laptops, and 2 desktops!?
http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-sm...e-of-with-a-galaxy-note-ii-in-the-front-seat/
Check the Video in that Link... Legend... Wait for it... You get the point
ALSO, The immense support and love developers put into Samsung Products, other then Google-affiliated. There will never be a shortage of roms or customizations for the Note 2. For reference, my daily phone is a Atrix HD Maxx... I'd be lucky to even see an official JB Rom. I do own the wonderful G. Nexus, aswell as hordes of other phones... anyways...
ALSO, Resale value on the Note 2 will always trump most phones, like buying a Lamborghini or Bugatti...
Hope all of this helps, my choice-riddled friend

Why would you want to swap? The Note 2 is superior in most things and it doesn't use Pentile like the GS3 so it even has a really good screen, though the GS3's is really nice anyways. I mean the 5.5" screen is so lovely, I wouldn't be able to go back to the screen of the Nexus, remember it's more like 4.4" or whatever with that permanent bar there, it even exists in full screen apps.
The only superior thing I see in the Nexus 4 is the GPU but tbh in everyday use you wont notice it and games aren't even good enough to push the Mali 400 in the GN2 yet.

Note 8 vs Galaxy Tab 3 8?

Hi.
I am planning to buy a Note 8 or a Galaxy Tab3 8.
But can't decide which one.
Which one preforms best? Which one will have best development support?
What about the size? Is the note 8 too big for one hand?
Which one would you recommend?

Both are technically too big for one hand but I find the one with the larger bezel easier to hold since you can rest your thumb on it.
Also obviously the note 8 performs better (quad vs dual, 1.5GB vs 2GB of RAM), but unless you are hardcore you probably won't notice real life performance differencs
Development is too early to tell.
My view is that the price difference just doesn't justify getting the Tab 3 (You can get the Note 8 for only $25 - 50 more if you really look)
Also if you haven't already this is a good video to watch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGtcwfxCRN8)
All these comparison threads!! Ur gonna be finding different opinions, it always comes down to personal preference. Search for reviews and check it out. Decide what's best for you. There's plenty of threads/videos that can already help you make a decision. Not trying to be mean or anything, just letting you know.. So anyway, Yes I do love my note 8.0 its a perfect size. I love it because I bought it, hated stock, rooted it, installed civs reflex ROM, I feel complete.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
The Note 8.0 wins hands down.
More memory, More internal Sdcard space, Better CPU and a Stylus to impress your friends.
It fits fine in one Hand for me when I need to but I normally use it in landscape mode.
It even fits fine in the front pocket of my work pants. Docker type.
Unless you are strapped for cash spend the extra 50+ bucks and get the Note 8.0.
I have seen it online for as low as 349.00
The note's the better device, but I think that the Tab will get more dev time because of the price differential.
I have a Nex 7 now, and the pace of development is breathtaking - two kernels and a modular ROM in 24 hours. I think some of that is due to folks liking pure Android, and a lot of it is down to price.
But I also think that if folks compare the N7 and the tab 8 side by side, they may prefer the color balance of the tab 8. I think Samsung and Best Buy may have made a mistake in placing the Samsung devices away from the others - makes side by side comparison much more of a challenge.
I like the resolution of the N7, sure, but text is gray, not black and the color doesn't seem nearly as accurate overall.

Looking for a decent mid-range Android tablet? Well, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch would be a good choice. It is light, portable, and capable enough to be used for not only web surfing and writing emails, but also for watching HD movies and even playing some Real Racing 3 every once in a while. The device doesn't have any flaws that would make it a deal breaker, so if it fits your budget, go ahead and grab one!
But the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is faster than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch and offers the S Pen digital stylus for drawing and handwriting input. Anyway, I like my galaxy tab and I sometimes take some good tips from aneesoft tablets column.
So it depends u.

Both Tab of Samsung is good . But Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is better than tab.Because It's function is very user friendly. It comes with impressive features like 10.1" LCD touch screen with high sensitivity, 5MP primary camera and 1.9 MP secondary camera as well as full HD recording and Wi-Fi .Recently one my friend bought this tab from ************ .

You may want to review your specifications again before posting.
Unless of course Samsung has invented a magic "expandable" display (from 8" to 10.1")
