Hello, i just wanna know some things about the samsung galaxy s. amd please please answer, because i really want to buy it but im also thinking of buying the nexus one.
1). Hows the vibration? Can you feel it good or do you have to have it on your hand in order to feel it.
2). Can you have the same lockscreen as on the nexus one?
3). Which would you rather get the NEXUS ONE or the SAMSUNG GALAXY S? I really like the nexus one because its fast and everything with Froyo 2.2 and it has an LED but i aslo like the galaxy s because of the 4 inch screen and the 720p video capture.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
I think the vibration is fine but that could be me, I'd go for the Galaxy S in my opinion but the Nexus One is a good phone too, I'm just looking forward to 2.2 on my Galaxy, hopefully soon fingers crossed.
About the lockscreen, i'm not sure you can change it but I'm sure someone will know
Galaxy s is faster. Why move backwards?
Get the SGS, i don't think you'll be deceived.
Nexus one do have the faster update.
But SGS have the better hardware. I think the hardware is more important since SGS will update to 2.2 anyway.
Id go with the nexus one, although on paper ths SGS has better hardware, the UI lags and touchwiz is really boring, brings no innovation whatsoever, and with the nx1 you're guaranteed updates from google, unlike samsung which will probably move on in a couple of months when they have a new flagship phone

Id go with the galaxy S. If you don't like the touchwiz, you can always use launcher pro. And since SGS has a better hardware, it will be a monster when it gets Froyo! Can't wait
PS: If you mean the "connect the dots" lock screen, yes. If you mean the slide to unlock, no(as far as I know).
Hello,
I always wanted a device where i can write with precision anything i want instantly just like i do on paper, and hence i really finding note very useful but the size is making me think twice and hence, I was wondering if it can ever be possible to port things like Memo and note taking applications of the galaxy note to other samsung devices like SGS2 HD Etc..
Also, if i buy a capacitive pen for SGS2 and download any note taking application frm android market can it function close to G.Note?
I have heard samsung will be releasing SDK for Note in december - So will it enable developers to make similar note taking application for other samsung devices ?
PS: Am sry if i had chosen the wrong section to post this.
The Note has a special touch screen for use with the S-pen. So I guess you have to use a normal capacitive pen with any free note app from the market. But the S memo works with finger input too so u should be able to use it with any capacitiv pen.
Try "note everything", free on market...?

The Note has a special layer on the screen with the possibility to use the S Pen. The Galaxy S2 does not have support for the S Pen, and also not for other pencils/stylus. So you won't be able to use something like a S Pen on your Galaxy S2.
well GS2 can be used with a stylus, have a look at the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpr4s_VCMno&feature=related
Am not sure if notes taking can be done on GS2 as easily as on Note, perhaps some expert can enlighten me.
The note has a Wacom digitizer, the touchscreen does not function at all when using the S-pen... although a capacitive stylus can be used with other devices, in my experience they are next to useless, especially compared to SGN - maybe the size puts you off, but after a couple of weeks with SGN it feels a natural size now!

+1, Correct
I think in other device use stylus/finger is same
Yes tht wht i had the confusion, tht a phone that doesnt have digitizer can write notes properly like a physical pen+paper.... But i guess Not!
i will be havin a demo of the Note tomm. and i hope i will find it comfortable sitting in my jeans!
I've wanted to use a stylus to write on a pda since windows mobile days where i was sadly disappointed, but the SGN is the first device i have owned that fulfilled my expectations - even the realtime text recognition is surprisingly good!

I think there are even more new small features that I didn't put in list. It’s understandable that samsung didn't put those S-Pen features in our S3 however it’s actually still can be done for some of them. But S3 hardware is able to support the other features and Samsung should have put them in official JB ROM to further enhance our experience. Do you think they will ever come to S3 officially?
The new gallery and camera with the slow and fast motions are available, smart rotation and popup browser got ported as well. And paper artist can be installed with no problems.

Well the Note 2 was only released a few months after the S3 so you would expect these extra features , there's nothing really "revolutionary" that the Note 2 has that the S3 doesn't,i quite like the gallery in the Note 2 there was a flashable zip doing the rounds but no matter how many times i tried i couldn't get it tio work yet it was working fine when i flashed Dragon ROM (or was it Android Revolution) which had it included already.

The note 2 gallery´s that i found all have one bug, when set wallpaper from tw give fc
Anyone have a gallery that works 100%?
As soon as I get my device I'm flashing Siyah, then will probably stick to stock, Flash new Camera and gallery and some other Note II stuff.
Either way Phones4u have both phones on display side by side and the Note II has the advantage with software, I just hope Samsung don't be stuck up and decide to bring most of the features to the S3.
If it is about other Samsung devices, and its capabilities which I'd like to have onboard my S3, I would mention 8GB RAM, 1GB Nvidia graphic, and 750GB HDD which I have on my Samsung laptop. It has simcard slot, so can be used as the phone, either.
Guys, RLY? While I can understand that someone would compare 9305 with 9300 because both are phones, calling for Note 2 seems a bit strange...
ups - almost forget to ask that someone should port 5x50W audio output from my Samsung Home Cinema system :laugh:

Don't confused between hardware and software. Software is flexible while hardware is not. I said no point having s-pen features in s3 but not the other.

So the note 2 has the same camera assembly as s3? if it is, that is a bummer.
That is what is nice of Android. Everything ported. Devs are awesome!

Underlined are what ported already. Bolded are what not ported yet. I think what most of us really want from Note 2 is Multi Window. We could care less about S Pen stuffs. I know you're talking about Samsung themselves giving it to us (instead of ports from amazing devs), but don't you remember the old days when Samsung refused to give ICS update to Galaxy S I9000? At the end of that device's life span, Samsung pushed an update giving many Galaxy S2 features like Touchwiz 4.0 including a few others. So, my money is on Samsung giving those features to S3 users. But the real question is when.

For the camera, if I'm not wrong only 1/3 of features is ported. Wasn't S3 too early to get value pack treatment? There should be one more android update. I understand what you mean, we might only get them when near eol.

People keep saying Smart Rotation is ported, but I can't find it anywhere. Any links please? That seems to be the only useful feature Samsung implemented since Galaxy S1.

Why not use this thread as a count of how many features have been ported and which are not.
Add things like Gallery, Camera, Popup Browser etc with a strike-through on them.
To show that those have been ported, and which have not been.

I have to respectfully disagree. The stock keyboard on the Note 2 is lightyears ahead on swiftkey 4. The predictions seem far more accurate, the speed is much faster, it has a better clipboard, handwriting recognition and doesn't bog down the phone.
I installed swiftkey 4 and promptly Uninstalled it after a few frustrated tries at liking it.
I should add that swiftkey 3 use to be my keyboard of choice before the note 2.

The new version has introduced the Flow feature, which is like Swype, no difference in terms of tapping, it is same. People who don't use Swype don't know what's the benefit of it and how it is totally different than tapping! Quite honestly I'm still with Android for Swype, and now SwiftKey has brought Flow, amazing! Still I'll say Swype is little better than Flow, atm.

Sk4 predictions are now more accurate if you take your time to program your email account, twitter and social network into SK4 it will learn typing, I favor it iPhone like typing prediction with auto correct, just I opted for fast typing and no prediction auto insert with space bar. This way directly skyrocket the typing experience (I come from iPhone iPad so the ipvone like keyboard favor me).

I am now trying to use it for typing (writing). I like the browsing better with pen than fingers, actually, because I always keep the Desktop version of the pages and click with SPen is way more accurate.
I don't know, though, if I will keep doing forever. Have had the phone only for 6 days.
Samsung Slate 7 pen with erase button
Mostly I use an external S-pen from my Samsung Slate 7 win 7 tablet or the internal pen but nearly never my fingers, and not only because the pen does not smear the screen. I bought the Note 2 and 3 only for the pen support as tablet and don't have a sim inside. As phone my wife and I use a Samsung 5722 Dual-Sim cell phone which can last up to a week, to avoid beeing out of battery when we use the Note extensively.
Handwriting recognition is faster then typing and as good as my Samsung Slate 7 win 7 tablet. The erase function is supporte n Note 2 and 3, but requires the erase button on the opposite site of the pens writing tip. Thats why I have a spare pen from my Samsung Slate 7 win 7 tablet right next to my writing pen.
Besides typing and notes taking and small drawings I use it also to scratch my nose.
I take all my work meeting notes etc. on it at meetings. This is a major reason I got it. If you use a normal phone people think you are texting etc. With the pen people can see you are taking notes, setting up appointments, creating tasks, etc. Then you can do multi window and do some surfing in the top while you do all this.
I have the Note 3 and the Note 10.1. I won't own any other type of device anymore because I use the pen so much. It is a game changer for me. I think it may be a bigger thing for business and education, and not as much for everyday consumer.
l agree Spen is a game changer
Sent from Note 3 (The beauty & beast)
Not as often as often as I'd like to.
Swype is faster than writing with the pen.
Most webpages are mobile device friendly. Meaning buttons are late enough to press with a finger. Same goes to the android OS.
It's like WinMo 5 or 6 that absolutely required you to use a pen to do regular menial tasks.

I use it 95% of the time. For anything: Writing, drawing, general control...
I'm a Wacom Intuos4 user, which I often use instead of a mouse on my laptop, so the Spen feels natural to me.
Bonus, I can eat a sandwich and still use my phone. Also, no smudges on my lovely screen when watching a film in HD
I use it alot ....

+1 to the "+1." If it weren't for S Pen/S Note I'd most likely have a LG G2. I have about 100 items in various scrapbooks, tons of S Notes, I use the pen for entering text unless I'm "moving" where I'll use the keyboard, I use it capture items from e-mail, MMS, and the web to either save or forward, and the list goes on. I've been doing this since the Note II/Note 10.1 and now have a N3 and am getting a 3G Note 10.1 2014. Samsung's said 60% of Note-series buyers use the S Pen daily. It's fantastic for productivity users and creatives.

I use it to:
Take notes, mostly in meetings etc.
Occasionally I'll use the action note to set a task for myself, although without a sync, tasks are a bit lame.
Some games are better with a pen.
I find myself opening the calculator in a window quite often now, much more than I used to when you were forced full screen.
Handwriting recognition is pretty amazing
The handwriting recognition is pretty amazing. (If yours isn't working, install the Stylus Beta app). using teh stylus, click on the small stylus icon on the top left of any text input area.
Works in German too.
MyScript Calculator (from the Stylus Beta people) is an great calculator that uses handwriting recognition
Just a few...:good:
today I accompanied my elderly mom to the Doctor and as he was rambling off all these Medical terms I whipped out the ole S-pen and created a Action Memo to capture the Dr's instructions.
A similar incident a few days earlier I was outside at a weekend fair...and the nurse called me with important info...I could barely hear with all the noise but put my phone on speaker, jotted down a contact name and phone number on Action Memo. Later I converted that to a contact..JUST like the commercials!
I used the s-pen a few days ago to draw my home's basement layout for some design work and square footage calculation. Very helpful when showing the flooring salesperson.
Also working on a small business adventure and the S-pen is very handy to sketch out my initial product designs thoughts.
Actually s pen is the only reason why I am using note series. I am also learning to sketch so s pen is really helping me out. Taking notes with s pen daily is also making life easier. If you look at software design structure of note 3, samsung want us to use s pen all the time.

I sign PDF docs on the fly, using Repligo Reader from the store.
I rarely used the S-pen in my Note 1. Just taking screenshots and writing notes on it, or clipping parts of screens. I didn't like the horrible handwriting recognition it had.
Note 3 on the other hand, I use the Spen regularly for Action Memo and hand writing. The hand writing recognition is brilliant in Note 3. Jotting down a date/time and converting it into an appointment. Jotting down an address then searching it on Google maps.
