@[email protected] it just a phone...
i will just call someone or wait for others to call me...
i wish the battery is great so i can play games with it...

I'm going to do the same thing I do with all of my other phones...use it . As far as making reach its full potential, I'm waiting for a bad ass custom ROM to surface. Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

Good luck, on the hox we had trouble getting 2ghz stable, still isn't really. Same CPU ofcourse so I'd assume the same applies here.

Just waiting for a JB AOSP/AOKP or CM10 release in a few weeks hopefully.
I really like JBs new style, and Google Now looks great. If there is a nexus device based on this hardware that would make an almost native porting environment I would be crazy happy!! A guy can dream can't he?
I would have bought a GNex but this hardware is just in another league,

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.

Actually...I liked "Take over the world"

Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.

I'm probably going to look around for a case. I've been extremely cautious with it so far but I haven't seen one that I like. Any suggestions anyone?

Does anyone else take their phone out of their case for a bit?

Just wondering if it's just me that likes to take my phone out of it's case occasionally while I'm at home. I like to use it naked every now and then.

I find myself taking mine out of my case when I'm at home occasionally too. Its a very nice phone to hold in your hand in my opinion, but always keep my Quicksand case on when outdoors.

I'll have to disagree here.
My phone is my baby. I keep it in its case all the time. Since I have the elago barely there case, the case is already barely there. Lol.

Lots of money was spent on the design and ergonomics of the phone....Why ruin it all by putting it in a case. Phones don't last forever, they're good for 6 months, then get a newer one.

I normally buy cheap cases and they get scratches and stuff making it look horrible. So i have not had a case for a month i am gonna get me an expensive one this time abd see how it goes. I saw a sgp one for £29.99 gonna give that a shot.

I for agree with this, the only reason I have mine in a case is because if it gets damaged I will struggle with the repair bill, if that didn't matter I would not use a case, hence why I like to feel other whenever I can.
And it's nice to see it's not just me.

I never take my phone out of the case because i dont keep it in one.
Ive smashed it on the ground about fifteen times and the only effect its had is a small mark/dent in the screen surround.

Well, after 6 months or 1 year , I would normally give the phone to girl friend or sell it to friend. So is better to take good care of the phone.

There is not another thread on this forum for note 2 . I was just wondering who want to switch fron T999 to Note .
Peace
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I know the Windows phones are the big question in a lot of Android users eyes these days but I have to admit the Note 2 is a demon and though it will be like holding a salami sandwich to the side of my head I can't ignore the specs which is why I got the GS3 in the first place. I will be watching but I think it's still too early to tell if I'll be racing to the store since the last purchase nearly made my car the bedroom.
I am going for the Smart TV next though (Samsung rocks).

Just ignore people like that man they have nothing better to do than cry about it not being in the Q&A and really if that is their biggest thing to worry about it should make you feel better for having real issues not trolling forums whining.
back on topic, i am debating getting that or the one x+ if it comes out around the same line cant decide yet note 2 has a good lead though huge screen is right up my ally but pockets are getting too full to fast

I'd love it but I couldn't bring myself to rock it as a phone. Just too big.

The note 2 is a downgrade from the gs3 in terms of hardware. No way I'd downgrade. I had an international note and it wasn't in my top 5 best phones. I've had every high end phone too. I won't be getting rid of my s3 for one unless it has a huge dev community which I don't foresee.

That's interesting. It's about time the exynos supported lte and hspa+ 42. I bet that thing is gonna be a battery hog even with that huge battery. I'll be interested to see how this phone lands. If it's like the s3 and all the versions are similar then dev should be great. We will see.

[Q] Eye Scrolling Nexus 4?

Hello,
I was wondering if eye scrolling and some other S4 features can be ported to the nexus.
If possible, it would be amazing to use!

I think yes, but question is are you so lazy that you wont even lift a finger to scroll? ...

Leap Motion would be cool!

Have you tried the motion scrolling stuff on the S4? It's not that impressive. Learning curve is steep. And once you get the hang of it, you'll realize that it's still infinitely easier to just scroll with your finger.

The Nexus 4 lacks the hardware it needs to do so. Thus, it's highly unlikely that feature will be on the N4.

The S4 uses the front camera to provide that functionality, so the Nexus 4 has the hardware to provide that fuction.

That function is not a goal. Around light must by strong, face exactly before the phone. You will rather scroll through your fingers.
