Have GSM Galaxy Nexus, considering the Note...

So I have had my Galaxy Nexus GSM imported model (ATT in the US) and while I do like it, the Note is interesting to me.
Anyone have/had both and preferred the Note? If so, why?
I could sell the GNEX and get the Note for little cost to me. It's tempting...

I had both, but personally I prefer the Note.

nexus v note
Yes I have both /gsm. Much prefer the note. Its the whole phone,pen,screen size for movies
I just love it

Best Phone
The only thing you have to watch out with a note (if you're an average user not a modder like most people) is the size of the thing...
Other than that, you have nothing else to complain about... :victory:
This phone is the beast! :highfive:

I own both nexus and note (note 2x).. Also a gtab 10.1 a gtab 7plus an lg o2x and so far the best device its the note.. But there's only 3 days left for note 2(Wich I'm getting on day 1).. Why not to wait for it?

I love the Note...but I doubt my next phone will be a phone of this screen size. It gets tiring after a while. Lol.
I'm also never buying a non-Nexus device again after this.

I have just given my Note to my wife and got a GNex . As much as I like the Note it was just too big for my use. Also I craved aosp and CM on the Note was never fully functional for me.

I really like the Note. I really REALLY do! IF the Note 2 offers a big jump in tech, then I'll get it. All logic points to a no. We're looking at an SGS3 (which is a great phone, but maybe not worthy of an upgrade if you already have a Note) with a larger screen and an SPen.
I would like to wait and see what the next Nexus devices look like and have in stock for us. Hopefully The SGS3 in a Nexus form would be good hehe. 4.8" display would be a good compromise.

Sort of farewell

As I posted earlier was thinking about selling my note. Well someone offered me $350 cash locally so I took them up and went to Sam's club and bought their last 16gb Google tablet to hold me over until the note 2 in a few months. So far its pretty cool.
I will still be checking here daily to keep up with development and see who is moving to the 2. Plus I've made some good international pals here as well.
anyway, thanks everyone from themers to chefs to developers to those who help and those I've helped, its been fun and ill see ya here and when the second version of the greatest phablet ever is released

How DARE YOU!
But okay, we'll see you on "the other side", and with that; i mean the Note 2 section.

Adios bud. Hope you like the nexus 7, I'll be getting myself one here shortly and I'll see you in the note 2 forums!!

Thanks. I'm counting the days until the 2 is released trust me. So far the tab is good. Enjoying my $25 store credit, first purchase is the new Batman game which is freaking 2gig!
Will still be here checking things out and hoping most of you come over to the 2!

Sorry man, but we don't like wasting money on slightly incremental upgrades. Note 3 or bust.

I actually ask myself the same question. "Is that big purchase of the new device justified for a sake of some improvements (but not so overly dramatic)?".
I realise Note2 will come with 4 core processor, slightly bigger screen and perhaps Spen functionality ironed out and maybe better battery life. But how much all these improved features will affect my daily use. The more I think about it the less I'm convinced that I should switch...

Then you're brain is working properly.
None of the features that have leaked are worthy for NOTE users to switch. I mean sure from a Gnex or an S3... but the NOTE is still one of the most advanced smartphones out there.

Completely agree. I bought my Note 2-3 months ago, and sure i'd like to have Note 2, but lets be honest, throwing loads of money away just to get quad-core cpu ( which i probably won't even notice in my daily use ) is just...well...not very smart, unless you have a lot of cash you can spend for whatever you like, then i guess there's no discussion here. Will definitely buy Note 2, but probably in a year or so.

I am really interested to buy Nexus 7. let us know if you are satisfied with the tablet as a Note user

So far I love it. Couple of days in. Never used spen so no biggie there. Gaming awesome. Quadcore awesome. Screen awesome. Makes calls.
I guess imagine a Note on steroids
I've always wanted a large smartphone and this is it! And it actually fits in most of my pockets, and my wife thinks I'm happy to see her all the time too! :thumbup:
Seriously with it doubt i need note 2 now.
From the Note to Nexus 7

Samsung tab 3 8.0 or Samsung note 8?

Hello i guys i wanna buy a tablet for web browsing,listen music,youtube,emails and im between those two tablets ,they have 50euros different in my country and i'm think what to buy... i heard the tab 3 has better battery life and i really appriciate lonng battery life but the note 8 is better in specs .Thank you for listening and hope you share your wisdom and experience

Note 8

For me, it would be an easy decision. If you like the stylus & digitizer combo (one of the best features EVER) then get the Note8. Otherwise get the Tab3 since its newer tech. I own the Note8 and a Note3 and LOVE the style and the features it adds to the overall device.

I had both and i xecided to keep the note 8. Longer battery lifei get a full day plus, faster processor. Tab 3 looked a little sleeker but hardware is old and lags alot on apps. Plus the headphone out on the note 8 is much cleaner. Amazon refurbished around 200 for the note 8. Just as good as new.... dont forget the active digitizer and stylus....

So of you have have to go with 220euros for note 8 would you still buy it? I mean is it worth it? Gpad cost like 270 and the tab pro 8.4 300euros in my country.

I would echo the thoughts.
If you want the stylus, it's a no brainer for the Note. The specs are a bit better as well. However if none of that matters, the Tab will do you well.

Note 8 because if the better specs will run better for you longer term than the tab 3. Unless you plan to get a new tablet every year stick with the best specs you can afford

Anyone else going crazy waiting for Note 4?

Don't know if this is an appopriate place for this discussion. Also, there are only roumors that we can't know if they are true or not. But by what I am reading I think I might like the new specs so much I will simply need to get it. I am not totally happy with Note 3 so the wait is a bit hard . Anyone else?

Me! I'm not a Note3 user, and I'm currently not so happy with my phone. When I looked at the leaked specs, I thought "this is paradise" and, well... [emoji16]
I need you guys' opinions on switching from a phone to a phablet. Can you kindly give me any?
:superhyped:

N9005 might be my last Samsung. We are nearly 10 months after launch and AOSP roms like CM have only just reached a more or less stable phase. I can only imagine Samsung will do anything it can to make AOSP development more difficult in the future.

For the moment I am fine just as my N3 is
Note 4 will see the struggle with Android 5 AND eventually (on some models, not all) with 64-bit Android 5 so I am in no big hurry to pay premium money for being basically a beta-tester.
But you can understand my position better if I say that my N9005 is still on rooted knox-0 stock 4.3 heavily optimized with xposed and similar stuff.
If I do upgrade it MIGHT be on Note 5, and only if there is no truly-open premium alternative.

Not sure yet...

I love my note 3 but I think I'll avoid a note 4 or any future dedicated Samsung phones unless its a google edition. I hate the lack of a daily driver AOSP or close to it.

I don't see how that's Samsung's problem. When we decide to root and flash different recoveries, kernels, ROMS and modems we know we are taking a risk of potentially messing up our phones. The fact that you are having that issue after doing all of those things is not Samsung's fault.
As for the Note 4, i'm probably going to go with the next version of the Galaxy Mega 6.3 if Samsung bumps up the specs a bit. I know they want to keep it as a mid-range device, but it has to be more useable than the current Galaxy Mega.

It's a shame reading that so many people ate unsatisfied with their phones.
Personally I absolutely love the Note 3. I have had it since it was released and it is absolutely perfect for me. There art many positive surprises. The screen in direct sunlight, battery life and how tough and water resistant it is. With my previous phones I was always discovering small problems. With the note I am constantly experiencing small advantages. It was the same story with the note 2.
If a new one will come out though I am not sure if I can resist buying it

Care to elaborate....

I would maybe wait for the Note 4 instead of buying it on release day.
If there was a bigger flagship phone from any other company I might decide to go for it.
Even though I haven't tripped KNOX and on the latest C-RoM, I might want to try something new later. Samsung is just doing the same thing over and over again. Samesung.

Not only Samsung every company is doing same thing. But note series is having more spices. And I am satisfied customer of note series. I am not a big fan of cm or mui because I love pen and camera feature. And my note 3 is fast and better than any other phone..

No, LG G3 looks promising.

LG g3 is good but note 3 is older than LG g3 also g3 doesn't have pen

Time to say goodbye to Note 4 :(

With a heavy heart, the time has come to say goodbye to my beloved Note 4 community. I still don't want to part ways with it, but it would help me offset a partial cost from the Note 7, so selling it on Swappa. I already bought the Note 7 and while I think it's a very good phone, it's still missing few things that would have made it a complete phone like the Note 4. Life goes on and have to move on. The Note 4 is my favorite phone ever, and has served me well for 2 years so that's the reason I am emotionally attached to it.
Thanks to all the kind Note 4 developers and users, you have made this a wonderful place to be for the past 2 years.

I love the note4. I have a note 7. I keep my note 4 as a back up, and a remote.

Let's hope your Note 7 doesn't go kaboom...

Note 4 all the way!

*poof* phone bursts into flames.. news at 11.

I just got mine about 3 weeks ago for just under $200 USD. I'm happy as heck with my purchase and will probably buy another one in a few years as long as the bootloader remains unlocked.

You guys realize that ALL Note 7(s) have been recalled right? Wouldnt it be easier if they had removable batteries?
Also you realize they are all BL locked right? MOre like time to say good by to custom roms and kernels. :S

What about the N930F (interational) or N930U (US SIM-unlocked)? Are the bootloaders locked on these variants, too?

N930U still has a locked bootloader.
N930F does not have a locked boot loader but cannot do VoLTE or Wifi calling. Also obviously Tmo will not cover the phone under the PHP protection etc.

note 4 still rules, note 7 explodes, take care with that. Regards.

Keep the Note 4.
7 is a bad decision both from design, marketing that ultimately affected buying decision.
Where's that 6gb ram they promised?
Why did Note 7 become a less edgy S7 Edge with no stylus? Where's that cutting edge technology we all enjoyed from Note 4? Where's that promise of premium $999 or $1,000 price point to separate us note users from the iphone and Galaxy S kids?
It all went downhill ever since the news of Sammy chairman banging prosties made headlines in South Korea.
These guys need to stop being cocky.
What's left in the market now? S7? crap... I'd rather hit the AAPL camp. Been a Note user since Note 2.
So many letdowns with 3, 5, now 7? How long do i have to wait for the next best thing? Im gonna buy another note 4 as spare unit to get me by the next few years.

Good choice,. I'm also thinking in OP3 but Blu products are raising my eyebrows. I recently bought a 60$ Blu R1HD in amazon and TBH that phone is rocking. I'm thinking in the Blu Pure XR - which is 100$ less than OP3.
I've been a Samsung fan but there are many options - and cheap ones - out there.

True true and true. But doesn't change the fact development is next to dead for the note 4. All the good developers moved on and we have never had any official Support from cm for their roms. And the people that compile them unofficially for us leave hella bugs unfixed which makes it a waste of time since you just switch back to tw 2 days later. Still thankful for them anyway but yea. Development is dead.
