Just got my Note 2 - Galaxy Note II General

Wow just got my Note 2. Bought if from Korgan. I had no problems at all with them. Heard some stories so I was a bit worried. Just fully charging the phone as I write this. Then it's time to root. I did flip out a bit when I tried to put my sim card in. Takes a micro sim. Never had one of them so on to youtube a few cuts later and the sim is now a micro sim. So I think the phone is wonderful. So big and beautiful. The screen dwafs my S2. Well I'm sad to see the S2 go but it is going to a good home. Any way hi to all here and I'm off to root my galaxy note 2 woohoo.

Nice one! I am waiting for 64Gb one

The speed of this phone is amazing. Id say thats the feature that blows me away.

yeah the speed is just unbelievable, samsung has done a terrific job. It is so terrific that I stopped coming to xda and tweaking with my phone, just enjoying the apps/browsing/multimedia on this superb screen.

finally got my note 2 too today

Yep the screen is wonderful. Battery life is great. Put some episodes of Hell on Wheels on the phone to watch at work so nice. Have the Omega rom on at the moment pretty good like it lots.

I, too, am the proud new daddy,
of a tmo note 2. Amazing responsiveness, "buttery" as they say. And they do.

My thoughts after using the Note II for 5 days.

I came from a GS3. So I've owned the Note 2 for for about 5 days and here's is how I feel: It is absolutely a BEAST. Gorgeous phone. HOWEVER, after holding my brothers S3, I feel like going back to the S3 because it seems SO small and ALL OF A SUDDEN I can touch all 4 corners of the screen! I swear I was not able to to that BEFORE I had tried the Note II. Now S3 feels like the perfect size phone. I feel terrible that I'm even thinking about getting rid of the Note II but the feel of the S3 in my hands now is just way too tempting. I previously had the pebble blue, but I'm thinking of buying the brown SGS3. Anybody else's thoughts on this? How do you feel after looking at S3 after trying Note 2? Do you feel your fingers have gotten longer?

I've had my Note 2 for 40 days now. The size is a minor annoyance compared to all the features gained over a S3. Split screen. AirView for web browsing. Just always having a device where I can take it out of my pocket and start writing is irreplaceable. Sure, you can take out a S3, unlock it, open a writing app, then start typing. But that's not like taking out the S Pen and writing just like you had a pad and paper. I think 9 out of 10 times I would just end up choosing to not write things down unless it was something really important. It is true the S3 does look small, but that is also the reason why I would prefer the Note 2. I don't want the smaller phone.

I'd rather a nexus4 better value for money
I came from note 1 to S3 then now on note 2, the new phone always impress me more than the previous one.
with a better screen, faster CPU and more juice on the battery, I don't think I would go back to S3
the note2 screen got me, but if s4 has 1080 display, i would go for it

The reviews of the N4 suggest the battery life isn't that great on it. Least with the S3 and Note you can change the battery.

I was going to get a Nexus 4, until I realised that it didn't really improve on any area of the Galaxy Nexus that really mattered to me (storage space, battery life, camera quality etc).
It was either the Note 2 or HTC One X+ for me, but with the Note I felt I could get rid of my N7 which I also hardly used to help fund the Note 2.
I do prefer Vanilla Android but I never had THAT much of a problem with TouchWiz on the S2.
There is no comparison. For me personally the next gen smartphone move logically is the Note 2 and all the other size factor phablets from other oems which come after it.
Lets face it. The battery life technology isnt growing at an exponential rate like the other hardware of the phone. Its just oure physics. Bigger battery longer battery life. Bigger thr phone, bigger the possibility of fitting a bigger battery.
Note II's INSANE battery life alone is a worthy upgrade over any snartphone experience right now. Plus the new non pentile 5.5inch 720p samoled screen is another big factor
For me like I said, "phablet" is the next logical step in the smartphone era

Im glad I read this thread now, I sold my SGS3 initially to buy a Nexus4 but then after the whole stuff around with googles release of it and then selling out in 22mins in Australia and then reading a few average reviews, I ordered a Note 2 instead. Can't wait till it arrives as I think ive made the best choice now :good:

As I tell everyone, if one handed use is important to you, then the Note is not the phone for you.

No I'm not going back to a smaller size anytime soon. However my son just yesterday got a SIII and after playing with it a bit I can honestly say that it's perfect for someone wanting a normal sized device.
this is why i have tyhe best of both worlds i actually own them bought and with the new s3 rom leak it's even better..i'm overwhelmed with the processing power of the responsiveness of the beasts
I've had it for a while now and all I can say is that I'd get the S3 if I hated the size. My partner has the S3 and loves it but envies my note 2. They're similar in function, but the larger screen is a must for me. As is the pen. So it's a no brainer for me. But i'm sure for others its a deal breaker. I personally love the note 2. Also, the 1gb ram in the international s3 sucks. I mean it's fine, but it has redraws and such, and multitasking isn't as fluid. My.02¢

Worth switching from a GS3?

How many switch from a gs3 ? Are you all still happy ? Ive mess with my cousins nexus 4 and I did a few test on the camera and honestly ,to me it looked like it took better pics , I enjoy taking pics so I'm really thinking of getting one, but I'm still not sure so I'm trying to get different opinions of people who made the switch, , thanks for the feedback

I had the S3 on Verizon and T-Mobile and I an very pleased with my decision to switch to the N4. The S3 had a few cool features like flipping the phone over to silence it by to me nothing beats vanilla Android. What ever the S3 had I can probably get an app or widget or ROM to to on the N4. And I'm on stock 4.2.2. The carrier S3 won't have it for a while. The fact that my N4 cane out the box unlocked AND only cost me $350 + shipping and tax was a no brainer for me.

I too came from a T-Mobile GS3 and I've got to say that I do not regret the switch at all. This phone has longevity , in terms of Android updates, compared to the GS3. Yeah the screen is smaller but honestly HD videos look deeper and more to real life than they did on the GS3. And the on-screen buttons don't bother me as much as I thought they would. If you have a wallpaper with a black bottom, they'll blend right in! And if you are worried about the fixed storage there are programs that'll make the Nexus 4 an external media device so you can drag, drop, copy, and paste. You'll like the phone I promise.

Yea , that's almost the only thing trying to hold me back is the storage, but I know eventually external storage wont be a option in the future.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
external storage isnt really an issue for me but i have to say I switched from a tmobile white S3 and I love the nexus 4 WAYYYYY better. I was never crazy about the s3, even now the s4, the whole bubbly plasticky design and weird colorful gingerbread looking theme.. It's alright and I found it weird that I wanted to sell it because it did everything I wanted to and had a great screen but it had no "pull". The nexus 4 however, the minute I opened that box, i was like wow, this look and feels better than all the 1080p youtube review videos i watched. It's so much nicer, sleeker, feels better in the hands.
I know the s3 is a popular phone so it has good dev or community but think the nexus 4 has more and with the Paranoid Android and pie controls, it has the same real estate and usability screen size as the s3. The s3's colors are brighter and has a little bit better outdoor visibility but the nexus 4 has much better call quality and what seems like faster gps lock on. Plus it has 2 gb of ram and i think with the dev community has a lot more potential, if you can go without the extra storage.
I switched fro note 2.. I do miss the size of screen and spen a bit, but all other is amazing on N4

Unless there is something about the GS3 that you really dislike then it is not much of an upgrade and isn't worth buying it as an upgrade. Might aswell wait for the next nexus phone. Just slap some CM10.1 or AOSPA on the GS3

+1 to this. While I prefer the N4 to the GS3 there's really very little difference and it's not enough of an upgrade to be worth buying. You won't notice any significant difference in speed or performance between a GS3 with CM10.1 and a N4 running stock, and I'm pretty sure the camera on the N4 is worse than the GS3's.
Thanks to everyone that has taken the Time to reply , it's not that I dislike the s3, but what I do hate is the really slow updates , so I doubt the S3 will get klp,, and like I said I take lots of pics and to me , from few pics I took , the ones from the N4 looked to had better color , on the s3 they looked wash out compare to the N4,,,, this where indoor pics btw .

Last few phones I had, Galaxy Nexus, HTC international One X, Galaxy Note 2, now the Nexus 4.
Nexus all the way. Nothing beats the simple and minimalist design of a Nexus. Nothing flashy or fancy, just a cool black slab of a phone, with a light OS.
I have owned a ton of phones over the years, every Nexus phone too, and lots of phones in between each Nexus. But I kept each Nexus the longest. Just love the minimal design and understated look of the phone.

i came from a GS3 and the only thing i miss is the superb camera quality of the S3. The Nexus 4 is not on par with the S3 in this regard but destroys the S3 at every other thing

Imho its not worth the "upgrade".. Gs3 has the better camera.. Especially in low light..

Got mine 2 days ago, after 2 years with Samsung (s2 + s3)
Gotta say, I love the nexus so far, but the battery life and camera quality really is a downgrade from the s3...but we knew that, and I thought it would be a price worth paying for a true Google experience....only time will tell if I am right or not, but I'm going to enjoy the speed and smoothness for a while before making my final decision on which device to sell.
Quick question...are any of you guys experiencing weird battery behaviour? Mine sometimes drops 20% after a reboot, but then goes back up. Cheers all :beer:
Again, thanks to all the replies,
I went ahead and order it,
I wasn't really looking for a big "upgrade " but also i dont want to take a "step back", so i wanted to know if it was worth the switch, , I really hope the camera is not to bad, I know a lot of people saying that its a downgrade from a gs3,,, but the pictures I took indoors , to me they look really good, , Im just tired of spending money buying new phones because the carriers/ manufacturers don't update them, so from I read, Google supports at least 2 yrs on nexus phones so I should be keeping this one for at least 1yr or even 2yrs ,, thanks again to everyone

Anybody still got their original Galaxy S

My Samsung Galaxy S I9000 been sat in it's box for nearly 2 year now, originally got it on contract with T-mobile & still looks good as new & never bothered to sell it on, after i got the S2 which i bought to use with my contract with the i9000 at the time.
Anyways for old times sake I decided to stick it on charge and fire it up, tell ya what what considering it now 3 years old and only have 512mb & a single core 1Ghz Processor it seems to stand the test of time well, everything i've tried on it upto now seems to run well app wise, not gonna bother trying Real Racing ect as i know it probably be a stutter fest, but angry birds works well lol.
As it still running stock T-mobile 2.3.3, I might just update it with a custom Jelly Bean Rom see how it runs on that.
One last thing looking at the side of my S4 it looks tiny, back when i bought it i thought at the time it was massive for a mobile lol.
Yeah I know what you mean size wise lol, looks so out of date compared to the s4 but back then it looked so good... aha

Doesn't it just lol, tell ya what the camera & 720p video are still very decent and playing back music is superb on what is now considered a low end smartphone spec wise, It could easily put all 2012/13 low end smartphones to shame.
I know! But then again it was a £500 phone at the time only stopped using it a few weeks ago when I got my s4 and was still pretty decent running 4.2 remics jb
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I'm using an I9000 as a second phone (hate dual SIM devices) and it's one awesome piece of hardware. With CM10.1 on it was lagging less than Galaxy S3! Now the S4 is an absolute beast but still... a 2010 model still going strong thanks to awesome software. Plus the sound is awesome, hehe
Still have mine as well. Doubt I'll ever get rid of it as it's a great back up phone. If only the newer phones were as tough as the SGS 1!
Dropped mine from a little over waist height the other day and I didn't even blink, as I knew it would survive without any problems at all. Sure enough, it did. The thing is built like a tank.
Yep. Have it plus the S3 and S3 4g as well. Only the S2 had been sold.
The S1 now has a data sim in it and is used for wifi tethering when needed. The S1 is unbreakable.

I have gotten so frustrated with the Note 4 that Im going to sell it!

I am so frustrated with the note 4...... The lack of a root at this point is a big part of it.
So, with Samsung cutting out the SD card and removable battery I am thinking of going to another manufacturer.
I think I am going to put this on Swappa with a bunch of accessories and that plus some should be able to get me a new phone.
Its only made worse with the S6 already rooted.......
Sometimes these phones make me want to scream!
They're all just about cutting those things out.

You should also consider changing carriers since Verizon is doing it's best to block root on all their phones. The HTC M9 is still blocked and unable to root.
I cant do that. I just switched from AT&T. I got too much of a sweetheart deal to switch with a plan that I got onto.

Bailed on my N4. It is a great device but a waste without root. Picked up a Nexus from VZW, had it rooted in 5 min when I got home. For what it lacks, being rooted / unlocked makes up for. Best part is Beans just showed up with a rom. I'd never buy another locked down phone again....

For what it's worth, yes. The camera and screen are better on the N4, but not overwhelmingly so. The battery is a struggle though. I used the ultra savings mode a lot. But I've found that with the custom kernels, I manage. One big thing for me was that this phone (N6) is way smoother and more responsive. Having no touchwiz crap really shows a difference..

The nexus 6 is a great phone , only issue i had with it was it seems to struggle if you are in a area that has low signal 2 to 1 bars worth. My note 4 had no issues with low signal but the N6 i had for a week and a half had issue with calls and low signal they world always drop or i was not able to be heard , felt like i was in a Verizon commercial lol can you hear me now hehe stinks the two places i used the phone the most had low signal. battery was what i expected for such a huge screened phone. Just figured i would throw in my short time with the N6 , but it was a great phone and i wish i could have kept it cause the un-rooted note 4 sucks
I'm done buying phones the provider will not let customers root. Whoever it is locking things down, they've gotten the last dollar from me they will ever have. I'll go back to a flip phone or maybe dump them altogether. No freedom, no phone. Verizon, Samsung, whoever. They can't offer enough features to make me wear their chain. I'm generally easy going, but I don't want to be their patsy and herded down their way of thinking about a phone.

Camera is the only true hangup for me... screen is meh honestly compared to iPhones majority of the time to be quite honest, and this is coming from a diehard Android fanboy... lol
My brother in-law and sister in-law both switched from their iPhones to a Note 4 because I raved how amazing my Note 3 was... they ended up hating how unstable the Note 4 is(like I am now) and are back to the iPhones, but now they have the 6 Plus and a regular i6 and I have to admit that they look pretty amazing side-by-side to my Note 4.

I could never switch to an iphone. If you upset with the note 4 being "locked down", the iphone is even worse! The note 4 isn't unstable at all. It has a few issues but that's android related and just about every phone running our version of android are experiencing the same issues.
The S6 doesn't have a micro sd slot fyi.

It looks terrific to me, although I was hoping it would have a 7422 instead of a 7420. I never upgrade right away, though. I always wait until the price comes down. By that time, we'll know if it turned out to be a error in judgement on design or a lemon of a phone.

I was pretty much following it for kicks and giggles, just to keep track. I'm only a year into my Note4, which means I won't upgrade till Note 6ish anyway.
Put it in a case and it becomes a sub par Note 4
Note 4 all the way. I'll wait for something better.
If for any reason I would want to get the note 5, it would be because of the wireless charge fast charging. But it looks like sprint might be dropping spark, only LTE?

Same screen resolution, smaller battery with no Micro SD. I don't understand the direction Samsung is headed. Every phone I have ever had people complain about battery life. What's the solution with a internal battery? Constantly tethered to the wall or a huge ridiculous case with an extra external power source built in? Fail Sammy, fail.
I dont understand so many threads about this note 5 in a note 4 forum. I mean, personally im waiting for the new nexus device, im not going to make a thread in the note 4 forum tho.
Should probably take it to the note 5 forum instead.
Just my 2 cents.
It's one of the best ? out there

Yep that's pretty neat for sure.
There are a lot of things I like about the Note 5, and you CAN get a 128 GB model for Sprint, contrary to what many websites are saying. But I'm still not going to upgrade. Maybe when the prices drop, but I'll probably wait to see what the Note 6 is like. I never swap my battery and I don't care about missing the microSD card. I'd rather have the UFS 2.0 storage, so those things aren't holding me back. I'm just happy with my Note 4.
Well.. I like doing a battery pull when things get iffy. As far as having an SD card slot or not is not really a big deal to me. I have a Samsung 32g SD card now that's not even 1/3 full. Between Sirius /XM and Pandora I don't download a lot of music. I use my SD card for pictures and my necessary rooting/modding files. And with having a "cloud" to store stuff and thumb drives and USB cables the storage will still be endless. As with all other tech.. It evolves. My 2 cents..

Same screen resolution, smaller battery with no Micro SD. I don't understand the direction Samsung is headed. Every phone I have ever had people complain about battery life. What's the solution with a internal battery? Constantly tethered to the wall or a huge ridiculous case with an extra external power source built in? Fail Sammy, fail.

Note followers never complained about built quality because our phones stay in cases. Galaxy followers wanted a android iphone so samsung gave it to them . But why didn't they just have a regular version with sd and removable battery and one with a higher built quality and they could have ditched the s6 plus idea until the s7 plus . That would of worked 4 months ago. Owell I'll get the s6 plus and if i don't like it wife might have a new phone. Note 5 don't do nothing for me atleast the s6plus bring something different. I'll see what apple do before i dive in they might surprise me but every year a disappointment.
