Oh my, finally an Android tablet that doesnt feel like a downgrade from an Android mobile phone.
Nice lcd screen, nice weight balance, nice keyboard and most of all so smooth, exactly like the Note 2 I had before.
I'm not a big fan of Touchwiz but on this tablet it actually seems to make more sense than in a phone.
I've wasted a lot of money on Android tablets, hope this one lasts me for a while lol!

Me too. Most of the Android tablets out there are junk. This one's definitely different.

Yeah just found I have bad light bleed. I'm going to try to get it replaced. It's only annoying when watching videos though.

In portrait mode top left on about 4-5cm and top right side 2-3cm. Shop wouldn't replace it... It's true that in normal use you don't see it, only with dark movies. My Tab2 was as bad or worse but on the 10.1 screen it wasn't so bothersome.
If it bothers me I will try to send it in under warranty.

I dont know I'm living with it for now. Fact is that when you flex the tablet the whole screen goes black or white so probably there is something with how these tablets are built. Also if I press at the spot the light bleed disappears...

Welcome to the club! While I was very happy with mine out of the box I'm getting a lot of pleasure out of tweeking the performance and trying out different apps to take advantage of the stylus (in between playing a shed load of games that wouldnt run on my old tablet).
There is no need to open a new thread because you bought the tablet. Imagine everyone who buys Galaxy Note 8.0 to open a new thread.
Thread closed.
Just got my g2 this am and its not that I'm disappointed I just don't know if its worth the full retail I paid over my nexus4. I'm moving to India in a few months so lte does not really matter to me.
Anyone come from a n4 to the g2 and have any insight on what you are enjoying more about the n4?
*not a fan of the lg skin but figure its just a matter of time till we have aosp roms.
Picture comparison between the two

I am considering the same thing. Can you post pics of them together? I may wait for the nexus 5 but think i like the buttons on the back and bigger battery. I hope the bootloader is able to be unlocked.
Sure give me a few and I will grab some pictures.
Overall the nexus feels better in the hand to me, love the back glass feel, I don't mind dealing with stock for a couple weeks as long as that bootloader becomes unlockable and we get some aosp action.
Re: the buttons on the back, I don't mind em one bit and actually like em but I don't use volume up/down much on my phone anyway.
My phone is on back order, but I'll be giving my wife my Nexus 4 so I can't comment on that decision, but I'm definitely keeping the G2 for myself. I played with one for a few minutes and I'm sold.

Thanks!! Really loving the bezels. I see you hide your onscreen keys on the Nexus.... Decisions, Decisions. I may wait to see if the new nexus is based off of this.
I've had a nexus 4 one and s4 in the last 6 months and now g2.. loving the g2, screen is better on the g2, way better battery life, snappier processor better camera.. Also aosp Roms will come in time... That said I will undoubtedly get the next nexus as I'm a gadget junkie.

I had them all too, but I find myself back with the nexus. Mainly for the simple things. I love the onscreen buttons and cyanogenmod mms with the quick reply and functions. I would love the battery life and better camera though, .
Wow they really are close in size! The nexus screen looks great with the buttons hidden. Does the G2 not allow 3rd party wallpapers appear behind transparent notification bar and buttons at the bottom?

I hid the on screen buttons on my n4 and now that I'm rooted I hid them on the g2..as for the MMS quick reply functions, try sliding messaging pro.

It hides the soft keys and emulates them at the same time.. I have mine set to display when I swipe up on the bottom edge.

l used to be able to use the spen from my Note 10.1(2014) and my note3 interchangeably. Somehow I am no longer able to do this anymore. pretty annoying if you own both devices. Anybody figure out how to enable this again?

My note 3 Stylus works just fine on my Surface Pro..
Not really answering my question though xD
Try taking the stylus out of the note 10 first. I bet they turn the wacom off if the stylus is seated...

Hi guys, is it possible that there is still a way to include this function in our galaxy s4 with our kernel etc? There is a possibility in the future to include this feature? THX
I'm interested too..

I am quite positive this feature requires a specific hardware that is not present in our S4 devices, but if I'm wrong and it can be done, it will be great.
I bet the hardware is there because web have the tap to top feather in which you tap the phone and it scrolls to the top of whatever you're looking at

Hmmmmm, I saw such function in Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S III, there is no way our s4 can't do such thing, just need some work on kernel

Sorry for not found more on such short notice, tapatalk isn't very good operable.
This kernel was my favorite , it has touch to wake (with set timeout) , also had slide to wake but lately removed
And you can also search "Siyah kernel" which has slide to wake if I remember correctly

Its on the xperia z. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44700175&postcount=6
Hope when adam builds the new kernel we can tell him about this and if possible he will implement this.
Wait for ktoonsez to implement it in his kernel which will be released this very weekend.
It has all functions, Sweep2Wake, DoubleTap2Wake, Sweep2Sleep, etc. :good:

I actually doubt this is possible im pretty sure the xperia's have BUILT IN HARDWARE to enable this.... if its incorporated into our s4's i would assume the screen would have to never go into off mode so that it can sense our taps...and that would probably drain battery im not an expert but thats from my knowledge

actuelly the s4 has feature that you need to put your palm on the screen and then of the screen and then the screen shows you info. So that means it can be modifed so that it wakes your phone. And btw I had galaxy s2 before with custom kernel and it had a feature that you can wake the screen with a swipe

Just an observation coming from Note 3 , Note 4 and last phone LG V10 which was IPS display.
The current handset T Mobile Edge S6+ does not seem to be as sharp per se in image quality, meaning its not as crisp of an image ( notable when reading ) compared to what I was expecting. I'm guessing this is normal, anyone come from a Note 3 or 4 and care to chime in?
I came from note 3 and before that i had s4.
I feel s6 edge+ is better than them.

True, i think it was my eyes getting used to amoled again. One before was LG v10 IPS.
Only thing i don't like is the tiny system fonts example LTE icon and so forth.

Short answer - My best friend buy S7E and we compared this two devices. The conclusion is S6E+ is better in screen, camera, overall beauty.
