Note 2 sighting!

I need some help. I am an ATT Note user and I live in Chicago. I notice when other people have Notes and always try to talk with them. Today I was about to do that when the man moved his hand and I noticed that he had a large physical button and two virtual buttons on the device. I looked at it for a while and finally asked what phone it was. He looked confused and said it was the Note. I asked if it was the Note 2 and he looked shocked and said, "umm, I dont think that's out" then he looked away. He was a normal middle aged man in casual atire. The phone had no 4G, but he had wifi on (probably a mobile hotspot). Does anyone know how the heck he could have gotten the phone. The only thing I could think of is a big time executive, but there would be no reason at all for him to be in my neighborhood and on the bus.
I know you can not see anything in the picture, but I can prove my point. You CAN see the samsung logo on the left side of the device. His hand on the right is covering the physical button. If this was the Galaxy Note the screen would not turn in that direction (unless he was rooted) . I know it's a leap of faith but I promise there was a physical button and that is the Note 2.

I'm sure there are plenty of phone testers wandering around doing phone signal tests/etc.
Before Canon releases a new camera they always loan them out to people to beta test (under NDA)
If I was testing a prototype I wouldn't tell anyone what it was, lest someone try to steal it.

I had a manager at T-mo tell me yesterday he's seen/played with the Note II, also hinted at a possible mid october release. but i don't have much faith in him.
anyway, i'm sure there are a handful of Note II's out there. gotta test them somehow.

I think this is how they got pictures of the iPhone 4 two years ago.

The international version of the note 1 (n7000) has a large physical button and 2 soft buttons as well, Just the same as the note 2..
It can be easy to confuse the two..

So, did the phone look like this ?

it could very well be a Note n7000

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Prolly was the original note

[FIX] Lines near the edge appear curved when draw near the edge of the screen

While searching for a fix from samsung FAQ due to charging hissing, I saw this FAQ from Samsung site. This guide don't appear on some of the country's Samsung FAQ, but it shows up in International Samsung FAQ.

I tested it, and it works!
P.S., I went to my local Samsung Service Centre, they replaced my hissing charger with a new one instantly without asking any question. I'm sure they knew about this. The most interesting part is the the charger is heavier compared to the my previous one.
Do let me know if this thread is already created.
Thanks in advance,

Tried this, and it doesn't work for me. When set to Right Handed, there's a minor deviation. When set to left handed, there's a far more severe deviation.

Depends on which Hand you write with
Accidentally sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Nope, and the phone can't tell which hand you're using anyway. I tried both settings. Left handed has a more pronounced deviation, but there's still a deviation for both hands. And I tried that with both hands too.

Just try to draw with this two angle, and you will know the difference.
Accidentally sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2

I know how to draw lines. It deviates on both settings, it's just significantly worse when set to left handed. The position of the pen itself is irrelevant.
Yours is deviating on both too, though not as much as mine is.

Why Note 2 is better than Note 3

You can't do this with the Note 3

you'll never know when you might need them, such as when watching a movie.

Nice joke , get case and do it
Anyway won't replace note 2 for 3 , maybe to note 4 or S5

I can't tell if you're serious or kidding. Regardless, there are multiple solutions that'll work on the N3. I use a Seido case on my N2 which has a kickstand. That way I don't have to carry a "nipple" around with me.

I'm not too sure why there's always a certain number of people who would go against the idea of upgrading when the new version gets announced.
This happened after the announcement of note 2 as well but I bet many of them have upgraded now!

It's a suction cup stand, but one member calls it dildo and another calls it nipple.
Am I on xda or some porn forum site?

haha you all crack me up!

Jokes aside, I too don't like the back of the Note 3. I LOVED Hyperglaze and I also liked A LOT the OG Note's back. Faux leather is AWFUL but at least they didn't go with metal or glass which are the stupidest and most awful materials you can put on MOBILE devices. "Thank" you, brainwashed drones who kept going on about how "cheap and flimsy" Samsung flagships' backs "are"....

Those who have S7s already, any hardware quirks/flaws to look out for?

My S7 Edge is coming tomorrow and I'm always paranoid about things like stuck pixels, dead pixels etc. Have any of you noticed anything that would make you want to exchange for another device?

Yeah. My S7 has way too many pixels. [emoji23]

got my s7 last wednesday and i absolutely love it!
no dead pixels, vibrator is strong, buttons work well and are responsive, speaker sounds fine, and the glass front/back are perfectly clear, not a scratch on it. And the Titanium Silver color is beautiful! I really don't want to put a case on it!!
Samsung has never let me down in terms of hardware flaws out-of-the-box.

No issues yet. Only quirk is installing apps. I Cannot find the option to disable "allow Google to regularly scan".

it is pretty easy to find the informations now

if the fingerprint scanner goes in the back, it kills it for me. Whatever happened to integrating it in the screen?

Absolute agree to this. What about having the phone on the table and typing, browsing.
I hope it is just an experiment and it's gonna be revised on the 9 series.
