Hi guys,
I currently own a Galaxy Note N7000, but am planning an upgrade. To the Note 2. Yay!
My Note gets really hot when playing games like Arcane Legends, especially if I plug in the charger (of course). Some times, it gets so hot that the top side of the screen burns my thumb!!! And that even when playing Arcane Legends alone, not charging at the same time!
I wanna know. Are there people who have owned the original Note and switched to the Note 2? If yes... those are the people I want to talk to. They know best how to compare the two.
Never had the N7000 but I can tell you that the N7100 never gets that hot. A little warm yes, hot no.

Just upgraded to the N7100 and temp wise ot's no different from the N7000...

I wouldn't say it gets too hot, but if you play the right games it can get toasty. Not too shabby though. Any mobile device these days can get up there in temps. It is the nature of the beast. Getting smaller and more robust and trying to keep the temperature down is all part of the challenge. I wonder how well the a15/mod'ed a9's will run in the next year or two. Eager to see how well Samsung's exynos CPU pairs together with imagination technologies GPU. Exciting times for the android gamers as they might see more games and many of those ported from iOS or more time put into them. I really would like science to take advantage of our smartphone gpu's much like distributed networking on PC's.

I'm not gonna sit around and wait another year. I'll get the Note 2, as soon as I sell this Note. My alternatives are... the HTC One, which I doubt will shine development-wise, the Xperia Z which has poor speaker performance and cr*ppy screen and the S4, which will also suck development-wise.
Yeah, definetly not gonna sit around to wait for the A15-powered devices.
I hate my Note right now for the following :
- poor battery performance (despite its 2500 mAh battery)
- screen sucks so bad (plus, black clipping)
- overheating like hell
At least the first two are better on the Note 2 . Enough for me to upgrade.

If I play Arcane Legends over 3G for half an hour and both CPU cores are clocked at 1.4 GHz (maximum), my left thumb is gonna be prone to burns. No joke.

I am sure that the HTC One will get great dev development seeing as how that codeworx is getting the device, as for S4, it should also get great development as it is going to be a very popular device and most of the S4's are going to be Qualcomm not Exynos.

I had the Note 1 and now have the Note 2 and they are 2 different phones. The cpu on the Note 2 is much more powerfull and battery friendly than the one on the GN1. Temperatures are very good and haven`t experienced any heat issues. Switching over to the GN2 will only bring you advantages.

Well, since the One isn't really available everywhere just yet... Guess time will tell wether it will get some love or not.

Oh yeah. At least the Qualcomm variant will definetly receive some love. Too bad Krait 300 is Cortex-A9, not Cortex-A15. But it's powerful enough. Way powerful than the cores in the Note 1, that's for sure.
*reconsidering options*
Won't have enough money for neither the One nor the S4. So, it's gonna be the Note 2. It's a powerful enough little tiny beast, anyway

Thank you for your input.
Battery life and power is exactly why I was considering the Note 2. Otherwise I could go for the S3, which has the same ammount of RAM (not really good for long term) and pretty much the same battery life as my Note. Not really worth paying 150 extra bucks for that... Better pay 200 extra bucks for a Note 2 :silly:
The screen is also an important factor for which I am considering the Note 2 over the S3. Screw pentile. RGB for the win!
Also, I know the Note 2 comes with a 2 amp charger. That's awesome! I will be able to play AND charge at the same time :silly:

How is that related to what is being discussed here?
Well, i had an n7100 which is on my mothers hands right now and i switched to the n7100.
The note 2 NEVER gets hot, like ever.. compared to the note1 which does get considerably hot when gaming.
Rest assured that you wont burn your thumb ever again with newer generation phones. Also, battery life on n7100 is brutal.

I did join the Note 2 club last week
I have to admit I was tempted to go for the cold metal beauty of the One, but delayed deliveries to Polish carriers took that option away. And wasn't that impressed by the Z. Not regret it much. That large screen is just beautifull. Who needs FullHD when it's already so sharp and amazing. Seems to be the perfect size too. Well, put it in a case and it gets too big for me. But having the extra screen estate over the lesser phones really is great!
Was initially put off by the horrible look of TouchWiz (have been using CM on my Galaxy S for a long time), but after customizing it a bit (inspired by coldfustion YouTube videos), I'm pretty happy with the results. I now mostly only see the ugliness of TouchWiz during calls and sometimes in the dialer (when it appears from a system call, rather then is brought up manually). Guess I'll proably eventually get rid of that too with a custom ROM, but I'm not in a hurry.
Coming from Galaxy S, I can really appreciate the GPS speed and accuracy. The volume of the loudspeaker is also very nice, even if clarity is nothing to write home about. Browsing and reading/writing e-mails is a real pleasure on this beast!
It does get a bit warm during gaming sessions, but it doesn't seem very hot and I hope its nothing that can cause an actual burn!
The smoothness is not that amazing too me though. I guess partially because I use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and it always reloads the wallpaper during switching landscape/portrait mode. The default lockscreen was laggy as hell too (tried various fixes suggested here). But I turned that off and am now using the lockscreen from Go Launcher Ex, which is much faster (well, actually that and some icon packs are the only functionalities of that launcher I use... otherwise it's way too laggy, especially compared with Nova). But I'm sure the speed can easily be fixed with a custom ROM.
Just wish I could scale the keyboard down, cause it wastes too much screen estate (using Swype). And Multiwindow... the menus take way too much space... it should scale the content down as well, because as things are, very little actual content is displayed in each window.
^ A little off topic, but just wanted to say that all your wishes can be fulfilled with a rooted stock rom and simplistic and or xposed frameworks, including theming and dpi change, when you're ready for it

He probably read on some forum that the Note 1 can burn your finger...
sent on the move from my Note2
This is my own experience & just thought to put it before my forum-friends .....
When Galaxy S4 arrived , i rushed to the store thinking of replacing my Note II with it & to my surprise ..... when i held it (Galaxy S4) in my hand my first reaction was...My Note II looks far better than this ....
After using S4 for a few minutes (i am glad that the shop-keeper had a working device) i just dropped the idea of buying it over my lovely Note II ....The simple reason was that i found it hardly worth the amount it cost , secondly there may be marginal improvements here & there but it was hardly noticeable.....Third & very important point , i found that my Note II screen quality is unbeatable (size does matter) ...!!
I may think of buying Note 3 (when it arrives & if it's worthwhile) but as of now NOTE II IS UNBEATABLE.....
Why yes, my feelings exactly. I had to make a decision about my new mobile roughly a month before arrival of the new S4 (and HTC One). So I skipped Xperia Z and went with the Note 2.
Later after seeing the S4 in the shop, I felt reassured that I've made the right decision. It's... small. The screen in particular. And looks much worse then the Note 2. And its overly light... feels like a toy in your hand. Don't like it at all, to be honest.
Yeah! You rock! I rock! Rock n' roll bro!
While the Note 2 does rock, that doesn't mean that there aren't better devices out there. I mean, on specifications there are already many devices that are better. But I love my Note 2 I won't be changing this guy for anything any time soon. I mean, don't get me wrong, if a better device for my usage comes along I'll jump on that bandwagon, but until then, my Note 2 is still a very good device.
The only issue I'm having with my Note 2 is battery life as of the last update a few months ago. I'm not getting more than 2.5 hours or 2 hours and 45 minutes of screen on time. But other than that, great hehe.
Maybe the HTC One Tablet/Phone thing that they might release will be an awesome leap! Who knows! If it's really awesome maybe I'll get it but highly doubtful as HTC doesn't update their devices as often as other companies which is a big boooo in my book.

Dude that's awful. Either there's some horrible wakelock draining your battery or your battery is damaged. Former is more likely IMO. Either way 2.5 is unacceptable. And I'm fairly sure THAT much drain is unlikely to be caused by OTA update.
I also saw one s4 today and i asked to play with it and its like the note 2 not faster or anything better, so i stick with note 2
I have the note 2 for one month now before i had the galaxy s3,but i think after the note 2
i never go back to a smaller screen.I love my note 2.

There seems to be wakelocks in there judging from BBS - but is it just the icon or do you have crappy reception over there? If that's the case then you'll obviously get poor battery life.
Also install greenify and hibernate all apps except those you need to receive notifications.

That's true. I hadn't taken that into account. I just recently moved a few months ago and while I still have 3G coverage inside my house, it's towards the low end of the spectrum. That would coincide with the date that I moved. The funny thing is, I just moved a KM away from where I used to live! I think this building is just old!! haha.
Thanks so much

You're welcome. If Note gives you around 2 hours screen on time with poor reception, most other devices would die on you much faster
Would still recommend Greenify BTW - it's excellent.
note II still has the best battery on market and all functions that SIV has will be transfered to N7100 except airview probably

I bought LG G2 one month ago, and after coming from a phone like Xperia S, I'm quite happy with LG G2. Initially i wanted to buy nexus 5, but since there were no nexus left in any store, I went for LG G2. Which, in my opinion turned out to be better than nexus 5 (battery and screen size).
I have 2 complains regarding LG G2:
1. Having limited memory of 16 Gb really sucks, you only have 10 Gb available to use since system takes up to 5 Gb. I have to constantly keep deleting files in order to install a new app. I have 4 gb of music and large games, and there is no external sd card.
2. While playing high performance games, the phones gets really hot, up to 48 Celsius battery. You can feel the heat in the screen glass. I can't play large games without worrying about damages from high temp.
On the other hand, lollipop custom roms are really fast and extremely smooth. The speed never lets you down, is blazing fast, and gets the job done. Back camera is great. Battery is great, up to 5 days with 5 hours SOT (brightness 33%). Screen is sharp and big, although I wish it was a little bit brighter in maximum brightness.
In my opinion, yes, buy LG G2, it's the best phone for this price.
Mine has 32GB of storage. A lot of the custom ROMs are buggy though. If you are a flashaholic Nexus would be better.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
If your a flashaholic go for the Nexus 5,
Anything else, the G2 is far far better. (I've had both.)
Yeah ..you should definately go for nexus. Lineups if you flash roms and etc more ..as bootloader is locked in lg g2 .... If you like features like ..ir booster and the lg interface ....as the battery is too so much. Better than nexus 5
Thanks guys for the info but i am still confused between these two phones .Any other phone that maybe i miss at this price range?
If you are a flashaholic you should go for nexus 5, otherwise g2 is your best option for that price. Although keep in mind that lg stock rom is good which may cure your flash addiction
Hei mate go for g2 i had the 2 phones but lg g2 is better
Agreed, Get the 32Gb version of the G2 and a case. Cases are cheap on Ebay and will save you the headache of screen replacement (although it is very easy to change).

Hi XDa'ers...
I'm sorry to say I've just had it with this phone. The awesome camera was the main reason I switched my Galaxy S4 to this. The promise of wireless charging was awesome. The sd card of course made it the only current flagship worth considering. The promotion of an extra leather back + battery just sweetened the deal.
But then...
1st G4 - Camera had a distinct pink tone. The wireless charging was iffy at first, and then completely broke down. Exchanged for a new one.
2nd G4 - Wireless charging was iffy. I attempted to downgrade the bootstack and it bricked (first one on XDA to report this fun fact which I warned everyone else about)--okay, this one's on me.
3rd G4 - Refurb warranty replacement had a broken camera which could not focus past 2 feet. Sheesh.
4th G4 - Out of the blue, wifi is suffering from a ridiculous on/off cycle which is likely hardware failure related. The phone is 2 months old! My problem specifically is that it turns on and does find wifi signals, but then turns off. Then turns on again. Repeat.
It's similar to these threads, but not exactly, as the wifi does turn on, it just keeps turning itself off.

I think it's been well established that the wireless charging on this phone is poorly implemented and a hardware issue. Fine, I can do without it. But to have the wifi crap out for no reason is really the last straw.
Looking to see what phone to switch out to. I'm on T-Mobile Jump on Demand, so the Android options are really only just the S6 or V10. I've yet to investigate the V10 forums--who knows what kind of crap engineering issues LG will have in store for us as the months roll on.
I had g4 and sold it to get the note 5, best decision ever. G4 camera was the main reason i took the phone but, the poor gaming performance the weak cpu didnt answer my demands and i hated the random lags.
Same here I am selling my g4, what upset me is I mailed them about unlocking bootloader, they replied me with this....

Curious to know whether your G4 variant includes wireless charging in the back itself ootb ?
In other markets you have to use the circle case or get a sticker and connect back the two pins.
In dual sim markets there are no two pins so there is no option for wireless charging at all
Not so bothered when stock charger can take this thing from 30% to full within a hour.

Which wireless charger did you use ? how well did it work with previous models with wireless charging.
LG has a good rep for wireless charging if you consider the Nexus 5. The nexus 6 made by motorola, heh, now that is more fussy. Get the impression that bigger devices are more finicky compared to smaller ones. Also flatter backs are better than curved ones. As screens get bigger those curves becomes important to make the thing feel smaller than it actually is.
Dang OP, you had some really bad luck with your g4's. Mines only actes retarded sometime when i try charging, and it thinks my charger is a usb.
Oh dear samsung...This money transaction too transparence

I too got the Note 5 switching from the G4. The lag drove me up the wall. Glad that I made the switch, note 5 has more functionality, and TouchWiz has been toned wayyyy down since the Galaxy s4, the last Samsung device I had. I would go note 5 or nexus 6p.

While not suited for everyone, Note 5 is the best phone of this year and will hold very well for next years.
Do yourself a favor, root the device and install Arter97 kernel, it fixes the sammy aggressive ram management, and enjoy the Note!

How's the battery on the note 5. sot ? run time ? mention your brightness in %.
mention how was it with stock. And then with this kernel.
Depends on your uses and what running in background.
I can get through the day easily with 30%+- remain from 7am to 8pm, 50-75% brightness, what i do is location always on, wifi+data, google sync, messages, chrome, facebook, what's up etc.
Now i also do heavy gaming since this is the only phone that cna do it right, i measured something intersting.
While forcing the phone to run at maximum speed on all 8 cores and GPU, and playing intensive game like Tekken 6 on 50-60% brightness, it will deplete to 0 after 3:30-3:40hr straight gaming at maximum frequency... which is amazing, the G4 barely held 2hr.
you won't be disappointed, specially if u come from G4.

yes G4 is bad for gamers, what drove me insane is that angry birds 2 lagged on it, and it has weak cpu that can't run tekken 6 and dark resurrection at 60fps, note 5 can do it, that is amazing of itself.
G4 had random lags at times, Note 5 does not have any of those, rarely it has unlock screen freeze, when u unlock the screen it freezes for 5 second and then do all your taps... should be resolved in new update(already resolved for some).
Note 5 overall is the best phone i ever used, screen sound quality touchwiz... all better than g4 and v10.

yes G4 is bad for gamers, what drove me insane is that angry birds 2 lagged on it, and it has weak cpu that can't run tekken 6 and dark resurrection at 60fps, note 5 can do it, that is amazing of itself.

How will note 5 fare against the SD 820 ?
Qualcom got a bloody nose this year, they are likely to come out swinging next year. Lots of building up going on, 80k antutu bla bla.
we will see is what i say. Note 5's cpu is a 14nm i think. so qualcom is playing catch up.
G4 had random lags at times, Note 5 does not have any of those, rarely it has unlock screen freeze, when u unlock the screen it freezes for 5 second and then do all your taps... should be resolved in new update(already resolved for some).
Note 5 overall is the best phone i ever used, screen sound quality touchwiz... all better than g4 and v10.

Since you have both devices, do you have a ac wifi router ?
do you notice any difference in stated link speed between the two.

1)Note 5 will fare very well against SD820, i expect SD820 multi-test score will either slightly higher than 7420 or slightly lower, the GPU will probably be 30-40% better if it won't throttle, but who knows? i have yet seen any game that bring Note 5 to it's knees, Exynos 7420 is seriously best chip Sammy ever made, and best cheap of last generation(till 8890 at least).
2)I had G4 from June 2 till 18 Aug, i didn't really measure the speed of the upload and download of both phones , but since i know my wifi speed, the G4 would miss sometimes and stopped downloading in the middle, or download very slow despite the connection was perfect, but it was inconsistent. some days it will be good, some other won't.
Note 5 has yet to do it to me, mobile data and wifi link are great.
And btw, gonna drain my battery a bit more now and send you the picture of the SOT and battery usage, the only thing that G4 does slightly better than note 5, is taking picture in low light.

How is the rom scene with exynos ?
yes you have an unlocked bootloader but how does rom development fare when exynos sources are not completely released.
The result seems to be the same with the Lg's use qualcom but lock the bootloader. I've not figured out why the rest of the world got locked out except europe. Its like they use europe as a test case and when they have other products for sale, quietly unlock the rest. I don't beleive the current situation will endure, when the door is already slightly open.

What i'm thinking is the wifi chip sammy's have been using since the S5 last year is twice as fast. Not found any one to verify that though. There have been reports of sketchy wifi on the G4, maybe some tweaking required.
Hi everyone, I just want to ask a question which really confuses me. Actually I have one plus 7 and s 10 plus ceramic edition with me.
I have recently bought a JLW battery*case*for s10 plus and was wondering can I use the same battery*case*to charge my op7.
I ask cause it is usb c. I know it will not fit perfectly but atleast I can charge it in*case*I need to.
Thank you for ur time.

I don't see why not, the OP7 charges faster than the S10+ anyway so it's not like it'd charge the OP7 too quickly, however I haven't tried any such thing personally..
If you decide to try it then watch out for any bad signs such as the case or device feelings abnormally hot in such a case obviously remove the phone from the case immediately, but I doubt that would happen

I doubt it, higher-end phones have protections in place, so should the battery pack if it's a reputable brand..
Just to be clear though this is my opinion, I'm not a expert or anything so do whatever you want to at your own risk
Sure bro tysm for ur input
