Warning from a new note owner: Do not buy this phone!

...or you would never be able to go back to "normal" smartphones!!!!
Seriously now: I am old enough to remember a world without cell phones so I have seen them appear, take hold and change our life. I have been an user almost from the beginning.
My cell phone "history" is: Motorola can't-remember-its-name, Ericsson T-10s, Ericsson T39m, Sony-Ericsson P800, HP iPaq rw6815, Samsung Omnia i9000, Samsung Galaxy S i9000, Samsung Galaxy SII, Samsung Galaxy Note.
I have never bought any one of them for any other reason than I thought them to be the overall best of their time, I am a very heavy poweruser, I DO use the FULL spectrum of the capabilities of these smartphones.
The Note? It's the smartphone I have always wanted, the one I was forever waiting for, the one I would have designed for myself.
I realize it's a niche phone but I do hope its is a niche that's gonna take hold and stay because I can't see myself EVER going back to "normal" smartphones.
Yes, I am that happy with the Note.
I will add to the thread as I keep on using it, meanwhile feel free to ask anything.
Some other background infos so you know where I am coming from: besides the ones listed above I have seen/tested many many other ones from friends/relatives/stores between and before purchases. I have also some background in IT.
I am from Italy and bought the phone from Germany.

Just want to tell that even I haven't tried it yet I'm pretty sure it's going to be the beginning of a life long romance...

It really is an awesome pice of kit, im 3 days in now, and find myself just starring at it in awe of its beauty

Haha, thanks for the heads-up. I'm getting mine sometime this week.

Can you please comment on the call quality as compared to all the previous handsets you have had via its earpiece n built in mic and also via headset?

No better or worse than my dell streak using built in mic and earpiece. I dont get all the *****ing about the sound quality.

Some people are going deaf and they are blaming the Note. No offence meant

I can't agree more man..
This phone is frigging perfect.. When i had the galaxy s2 the ONLY thing that was laking was screen size..
When i saw the note announced basicaly a galaxy s2 with a 5.3inch super omled screen.. It was a no brainer...
Can't go back.. Now lets start a thread.. Offering a bounty for a O/C kernel..

Yes, there is so much I simply love about the phone.
Apart from the size I seriously did not think the Note could topple my SGSII.
I purchased the Note part being inquisitive and part because I love to have the latest tech.
Having now tried the Note for the past few days it just gets better and better.
Obviously size is it's biggest draw but I was pleasantly surprised at just how good the Camera is.
I love the Camera on my SGSII but the Note's Camera knocks the spots off of it, which is weird as both the SGSII & Note share the same Lens.
Just goes to show what happens when you have different software to drive the hardware.
Next up we have what I would consider as a 'major' improvement on GPS.
Again the SGSII is no slouch at getting a fix and maintaining your position but the Note just blows the SGSII out of the water.
Okay, this is helped by the fact it uses both the American and now Russian satellites and now we also have a barometer to aid in keeping the accuracy down to a pinpoint.
I'm looking forward to when the Developers Kit for the Barometer gets handed out in December. We should then start to see some Apps that utilize the Barometer to full use.
Nice one Samsung.... The Boy did good.

Totally agree! Best smartphone ever! Got it yesterday from CU.

+1!!!

Would really be interesting in hearing a comparison to the Dell Streak. I bought the Dell Streak 5 from someone selling their Give-Away phone and eventually bought the UNLOCKED to T-Mobile (with 3G) and was never happy with the Streak. I didn't mind the size at all. In fact I bought the Mugen Extended battery and that somehow felt better in my hand than without the battery. (Girl Hand) what I didn't like was the DELL .. Maybe what I didn't like about the Dell will be what I don't like about the Note .. PHONE CALLS. Not it being to big, but getting to the dialer to hang up always gave me fits .. It isn't easy to use like the iPhone. I like the iPhone for calls and the other for everything else. Always struggled with phone calls on the Dell Streak. I will carry both with me .. my iPhone and my Note. If I am just running out to the store I will bring my iPhone .. I use Google Voice I think it is called, it rings all my phones when I have a call. I wish it worked for texting also. (ramble-ramble)

I have my alarm on my note set to I'm sexy and I know by LMFAO and its so fitting.

Have you tried calling with a headset? That seems to be where the reports of sound quality are coming from. Would love some confirmation of this...

Galaxy 3 Reviews

Write your own review here so others can get idea who are looking for this phone.
My Review-
I have seen many people try to claim that Galaxy Fit, Galaxy Y and other in this range are better than this phone. Well, I don't really agree with this. Yes, they are officially Gingerbread supported phones and have a good Graphic Driver but it lacks something which is more important. Development! Yes, We don't have huge development for these phones. Some don't have their own forum either. Heck, even Ace doesn't have it's forum on main page. The development for this phone is huge, great and consist of very helpful users. You can't have luxury of using various Custom ROM's, tweaks, Themes, Kernel and every other development you will see in other High range phones. Before going to start discussion than this phone doesn't have Gingerbread or a good Graphic driver. Hold on, and look on development forum.
The developers here are very best and experienced in almost every field. We have ported CM7 ROM, OpenFIMG Driver and custom ROM's which makes the phone fast and fills every field which which it lacked before. Tools like Chainfire, modified flash player makes this phone more than worth at this cost and even comparable to some Higher range phones. Thanks to our developers, I am happy that I have this phone. If you are looking for high development but want a cheap phone than this is for you. If you want to keep it all stock, then you can go for any other like Galaxy Fit.

Less devlopament because they are new...
Galaxy 3 is of of course better then galaxy y
But we can't say for galaxy fit for now...
It may get own devs by time...
I agree that we have so much devlopament...
(thanks to devs)
Because the other phones are newer, we can't compare them...
And I think, g3 and apollo is not available as a new piece, people who want to take a new phone, should buy a new phone...
News is Galaxy y will get his siblings that may have front camera with low price...
But still a cheap I think...
Conclusion is,
Our phone is best by our side...
Newer phones may get their devs slowly...
People who want to buy a new phone should buy a high range of phone which ever suits their budget...
If phone is of too low range, may not give a good android experience...
Finally, samsung always gives a **** plastic feel in all range of phones

Giving a review about this phone is hopeless because its dead. I mean you can't find it in the market. Phone like fit and pop are good but our cells beats them in dev. In spec they beat us cause we don't have a good gpu. If we had that we could kick the a$$ easily. If you are looking for a midrange Samsung, go for ace or spend some more and get a galaxy s.

G3 Good as a Mid-Range Android
G3 is really good.
This is my First Android Phone and really happy with it.

My love letter to the G3
i went in the shop looking for an entry android phone and bought my g3 because they had mispriced it at £14.00 instead of £140.00. i bought three and gave one to my bro and one to my mum. I walked out of the shop feeling pretty pleased with my bargain phone and it hasn't stopped impressing me since.
Ive played with the galaxy y and other lower end samsung models and they dont seem to have the same heart as the G3. sure its a bit plastic and the screen is small and when its laid flat it cant decide if its in portrait or landscape mode, but it has something unique, an Xfactor... you. All of you! from the skilled devs to the noobs like me, this phone is loved and cherished and is being pushed well beyond its means by this community.
i know one day i will have to get a new phone (probably when i hardbrick this one!) but i doubt il ever love another handset in the same way, if i could hit all of your thanks buttons at once i would because its this community that drives my love of our humble, glitchy galaxy 3

Do I get HTC M8 tomorrow or wait on S5?

So it's time to retire the G2. I left the S4 for the G2. My first impression of the S4 was lagfest. Drove me insane. Does anyone think the S5 will be the same way?
Without being biased to Samsung, which device do you think will be a better phone? I am not brand loyal. When the announcement of the S5 was over I was highly disappointed and expected much more from them. I haven't had a HTC device since the EVO4g.
Thoughts with the M8 releasing tomorrow?

There is no better device, there's just a matter of preference. If you have a chance go to your local best buy and try the S5. Then go to a Verizon store tomorrow and try the M8 then pick which one you prefer.

How can one consider a HTC instead a Samsung/Sony/Nexus/Motorola device?

I am a Verizon customer so I cant do Sony. I also have a droid Maxx and it's just OK. No Nexus either with cdma

If you're gonna retire the G2, would it be possible for you to donate it? I currently maintain a G2 Help Thread, and a G2 Index thread. It would make it much easier for me to help out on these threads and make XDA better. Thanks. If you can't I would understand.

I have seen some camera samples from the M8 and they don't look that good.
4 MP is just not enough IMO, Ultrapixel or not.
Also, it's larger than the S5 and yet has a smaller screen and also On screen buttons.
But it's better that you look at both of them hands on before you decide.

Thank you. I guess I'm not the only idiot here because HTC is a Taiwanese/Chinese company. So HTC phones are literally, chinese.
But anyway, one of the main advantages the 2013 One had now is gone, the 2014 One lacks OIS, big fail.

No OIS in M8
How can they remove an important feature like that for the sake of gimmicks like 2nd camera?

the images from M8 looks even worse that m7 specially in low light AND no OIS #fail

It would seem that there is just alot of fanboys of sony and htc around, as I see people complaing that the s5 is a s4s and all this crap the plain turth is all of the 2014 phones are only a minor upgrade to last year and the m8 even less so.
I just came back from carphone warehouse tottenham court road where i played with the remote err i mean phone.
people say the s5 is zzzz, well this is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Phone is so very nearly the size of the note 3, it looks good in terms of the shape of the phone but the new material feels less premium than the m7 imo, it feels more plastic like compared to the m7. the htc logo argghh that logo such a waste of space and makes the phone bigger for no reason and uglier imo. the camera is rubbish.
sound quality is good though and the phone is loud and lots pf bass and clarity
screen looks good
phone memory is 16gb in uk with 9.53gb available (yet people complained about the s4) and yet sense 6.0 doesn't have as many features as the s4.
All in all imo its hte least interesting htc phone ive seen since the sensation. Wasn't impressed atall. I remember i was so excited when i played with the htc one last year that just after 3 mins i pre ordered it.

Htc m8 is a big let down in my eyes. Good design with poor camera quality. Hardly any cool software upgrades. This is not the way to sell HTC.

Who's getting one?

Hey Guys and Gals
The Desire 820's Specifications look impressive for a mid-range device, featuring a 64bit processor and 2 high quality cameras, high resolution selfie anybody?:laugh:
The main let down being a lower resolution display compared to some of the high end devices, would this stop anybody purchasing this device?
So, who plans this as their next upgrade?

I'm going to buy this device as soon it hits Europe, ofc if the price will be reasonable in the country I live in.
Actually I realised that this phone exists yesterday, and I'm impressed. I think it will be a great upgrade from my Xperia SP.

I am using nexus 4 and planning to buy nexus 6, however, nexus 6 is hugely overpriced.
Desire 820 has my attention now, I would like to have a dual sim phone, but the most concern for me is the availability of CM11 / other native android rom, I don't need those junk system apps on the phone.

When is this device expected to launch worldwide? It was announced so long ago but it's still not out. ... i want my colleagues who want an affordable phone to get this.

The sixth Sense isn't that bad when it comes to stuff you mantioned But I think the phone will get some attention due to its affordability and specs. It's the first device with Qcom octa-core and 64bit, so I think it will be a pleasure to work with that for devs.

It's expected to launch worldwide on 4th November. I guess all we can do is wait.

Id love to get this phone but as i am in the uk it feels like ill be getting it christmas 2015 rather than this year. Finding info on a UK release is proving very difficult and rather farcical considering it was announced months ago.
I emailed htc customer support and even they have no idea when it is due out, just that they are planning to 'in the future'.

Hopefully in April
I really love the specs i'm seeing and i like the size, but i'm waiting for developement on the device to build up a bit, like a official lolipop upgrade and a CM11/12build or some other AOSP roms etc. But its seems great at a really reasonable price

Am getting this one this week.. [emoji4][emoji4]

I definitely prefer htc's stock camera. Stock battery seems to last longer too, however I tweaked my s4 so much I don't think anything stock could match the battery life I was getting out of my sg4's custom kernel.
Other than that I just really miss the dev aspect. I might take it up as a hobby just to unlock this baby's potential.

My desire 820 will be delivered tomorrow morning. Hope so. So any recommendations before using it for the first time to improve battery life,performance and others??

Rooting Question
Anyone managed to root the Desire 820s yet? cant seem to make it S-OFF.

What phone next???

Just wondering what people are considering for their next phone. I have used HTC since the first EVO and like the product, but it looks like there won't be a "11" coming out and the U ultra is only GSM. So what company phone is comparable with metal case? Might have to check what other phones the BadBoyz make roms for since I like their work. Hope posting here is ok t/u...

There definitely will be a new HTC flagship this year. HTC pushed back the successor of the 10 due to the timed exclusive that Samsung had with the new 835 SoC.

I love my HTC's. Only Android phone I've ever owned. But I gotta admit I'm thinking of going to something else for my next phone. The aftermarket support for HTC, specifically cases, and the ****ty cameras are starting to get to me.

I don't understand what people want out of cameras. Like i've never looked back at a picture on my htc and said this looks like a blurry mess. Are memories being ruined?
As far as switching, I know I left HTC and bought a samsung galaxy 3. I hated that phone. I ended up back with HTC. Made another mistake in buying a galaxy note 5 due to the size. In less than 8 months I was back with HTC when the HTC Ten was released. This is just my experience, but I always find myself coming back to HTC. I would be lying if I didn't say the future isn't looking all that great for the company though. I'm sad about what phone I will have to moved to once they get out of the market.

Agreed... HTC has always delivered high quality devices, I have never been disappointed with a HTC camera, people seem to expect too much.
I think the HTC 10 successor will be a winner!

I've always been the first to defend my HTC camera.... But then my girlfriend with her S7 Edge and a friend with his S7 send me pictures that are just noticeably better quality than mine it makes me wish for a better camera. I actually think the M8 camera was better than my 10's.
