[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicgom:
hi, you could also wait foe the sgs2 lte hd, its gonna have a 4,65 inches display with super amoled plus hd display, 1.5 ghz cpu 1gb ram, 16gb onboard memory and so on its supossed to be available in december.

i've got the sgs2 international and can't be happier.

if you are using the sgs1 or 2 you could use nitrality to change de dpi from 240 to 182 and get more on screen space for wrintting emails and whatever you want, i did it and looks even better.

the note, is realy nice, played with it at ifa here in berlin, realy nice device, and if you wear a jacket always or most of the time it schouln't be a problem, but i would say is to big for jeans pockets, or maybe not, but it would big the risk to break it probably.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rambo6:
Thanks for the input. I don't think we'll see a Galaxy SII in the states with LTE anytime soon. AT&T and TMO just got their SIIs and neither is capable of LTE.

I think I'll most likely try the Verizon Nexus Prime because it will have (850/1700/1900/2100) 3g and Verizon Lte and then get the Galaxy S III next year. If cash permits, I'll get the Note too. If it had quad band 3g and Verizon LTE, I'd just buy the Note.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sachinaik:
Hi,

If you like to listen to Music on your phone, then please dont buy SGS2, it has a crappy Yamaha audio codec. Fankly I think that is the only disadvantage of SGS2.

I usually browse and listen to music, I find the music to be sub-par when compared to my Ipod.

Better go for a superphone with Wolfson Audio codec.

Check which audio codec is present in Galaxy Note or Go for Galaxy Nexus, I think it has Wolfson audio codec (as Nexus S had the same)...

Or one more option is the New Slim Motorola Droid Razr (7.1mm), which even below advantages :

- Check its audio codec, it must be wolfson I guess

- has a better battery (1780MAh)

- Higher resolution than SGS2 (540 x 960)

- Spash resistant

- Metal casing but still 127Gm

- Might not have the pink spot that SGS2 has.

- Might not have the yellow tint effect on screen that SGS2 has.

- hdmi port

- comes with 2.3.5 and guaranteed ICS support coming for this model

There are too many advantages that Droid Razr has over SGS2. :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
How crappy is Yamaha codec?

Is audio even throughout the spectrum?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sachinaik:
Head over to anadtech for a detailed review of SGS2 audio performance... Below is the link:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/13

He clearly says Yamaha audio codec is not a good audio codec (compared to Wolfson...), and wolfson is far better (which we find in SGS1, Nexus S....)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khan012529:
I am using SG-note.. For last few days ..

So fare i thing its kind of mini tablet.which works batter than all small tablet.. I think it will be unfaire to compare SG-note vs SGSII.

SGSII is the best smartphone for me ... Thanks to samsung ..

What can i say abt SG-note it just too smart phone..

I think you should go for SGNote.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
Wait a few months after the note has been superseded by yet another Samsung device and you're be able to pick one up for a lot less, nothing wrong with the sgs2 and won't be out specced for some time, Blimey I remember the days when all PDAs had a stylus much better, that would be the only reason I would be interested in getting a note
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sachinaik:
Just now checked in Engadget, Galaxy Note has the same Yamaha audio codec as SGS2.

If you are a audio freak or even a casual audio listener, I do not suggest going to SGS2 or Galaxy Note. Try either Galaxy Nexus or Moto Droid Razr.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
Samsung is creating a headache here. Many people want Galaxy S series of device simply ONLY samsung ATM has added hardware acceleration in web browsers like WM7/iOS unlike other android devices in the market that renders off software.

Samsung should have use wolfson chips as perhaps a PowerVR 543X2 graphics since it is more optimized by games
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koniakki:
Hey guys, I already made up my mind 99%.. But to add up that 1% I really wan't to hear some thoughts on this from people that ACTUALLY USED/HAVE the Note..

No it's not SGS2 vs Note.. SGS2 already sold yesterday..

It's Galaxy Nexus vs the NOTE now.. I won't go into spec details since is known to most of us here. Here's the breakdown:

I always loved huge screens. Since Nokia Communicator days. Owned all the color display ones. Also bought the first Samsung Full HD model that came in my country back in 2006-2007. No Brand fan. I pick what I like and suits/perform better.

Both phones are already very fast and solid hardware wise..

I'm having seconds thoughts about the Note's humongous screen. It indeed might turn out to be too big! Or not?

But the 100euros(cheaper) difference in price from Galaxy Nexus, is the icing in the cake for getting the Note over Nexus.. Prices speculated from the ones floating around and from some Ebay sellers(pre-order).

I'm eager to read your replies.. Thanks.

If the nexus one will not get the ICS then I don't think the epic will get it either, and that's because of the 512mb rom size that those phones have is in not enough for ICS...

the only solution for this problem is to partition the sd-card memory and move the extra system files there.

but I think neither Samsung nor even Google, will use this solution and they will just claim that our hardware is not supported and move on. :mad:

I was trying to get a software install problem fixed. It was going to replace a system app (Sprint Nav) and it continually said app not installed. I had talked to about 4 techs, and unsolicited, the last one said you have an update that's going to happen within the next 5 days. I asked to TeleNav? And she said no, Gingerbread. That was released yesterday. It was totally unsolicited, so she had no reason to lie to me.

Because there isn't much difference between 2.3 and 2.4(yes its 2.4 not 4.x) except the Nexus One isn't getting ICS, and that's closer to the epic than the nexus s, since it has the same amount of RAM and ROM.

||!! TRY AT YOUR OWN RISKS !!||

this is for the revo VZ6 users who don't want to update to Gingerbread and have all the bloat GB comes with and don't want to do a downgrade to VZ4 with LGNST but still want root access, cwm, and flash roms

Thanx to Mtmichaelson and djrbliss for creating this root for the Lg Esteem that also works for the Revo VZ6 Froyo and VZ7 GB

Mtmichaelson post somewhere on the LG Revo forum that it'll work on VZ6 so i gave it a try

I was on the VZ4 running Revolt 1.5 and when GB was pushed OTA last night i use LGNST to upgrade to stock VZ6 then tried the LG Esteem root method and got rooted within 1-3 minutes, it auto reboot my revo after root is complete, i'm rooted using the app " Root Check " to comfirmed

then install revotoolkit to get CWM and flash Revolt 1.5 and it worked flawlessly

here's the link to the LG Esteem root method

http://androidnerds.net/2011/10/08/lg-esteem-oneclickroot-now-ready/

just follow the directions and install the drivers if you have any issues rooting

i did this on win7 64bit pc so i'm not sure if others would work

NOTE: i'm posting this not to take away any credits from the devs that worked so hard to help us.

i'm posting this just to share the info i've found and works so it'll be easier for other revo members to look for answers

Good Luck

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jorkobe23:
Hi dear,

I'm going to get either Galaxy S2 or Galaxy Note.

The price difference between them is quite big..

GS2 is 730 NZD and Galaxy Note is 1199 NZD(as its just released?)

Do you think galaxy note has that much worthy?

What do think guys?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jakommo:
Hi,

I think it depends on what you want. I have my Note since todays morning and I can say its more of a small tablet than a mobile phone.

I like it relay much because I use it mainly as a internet device as I did with my nexus one before.

Try to get hands on both devices and decide after that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jorkobe23:
Oh envy you!

I already have iPad 2 actually so.. I usually play Internet with it.

Im just impressed the resolution of GNote.

Is it as clear as iPhone 4 on browser?

Or when you read some books?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kevincod:
I got the note for 550 euro (950~ nzd) so not sure where you get the huge price tag from. I have both the G2 and the Note and no matter what you use it for the Note is better. The huge screen is so pleasant for anything and if you do not own a tablet it is definitely worth it the extra 150~ euro.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jorkobe23:
Oh really?

There is only one shop selling note.

Probably I shouldn't purchase anytime soon..

And I own iPad 2 so.. Probably better wait until ppl review..

Also I saw the ICS will come to Note and S2 between in April and June next year.

It's my biggest concern... Should I get galaxy nexus?:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tito17182:
Which is faster

I want to compare them from the performance point of view which is faster?

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 PM ----------

what about the performance which one is better
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kevincod:
Note has a faster processor so in benchmarks it's faster. Thing is both are so fast I doubt it matters. Maybe ICS has higher hardware requirements and then the notes processor upgrade might help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kersh:
In fact, they use exactly the same processor, the only difference is that on note the voltage is higher so you can get a little more mhz at the cost of battery. The SII with any mod can have the same speed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sjael:
Welcome fellow Kiwi! :D

I assume you are looking at MobiCity for that $1200 ($1180 right this second) pricetag? For comparison, the Galaxy SII was $1120 on day one from MobiCity, so it's not that bad.

Buuut, you can order it from Expansys for NZ$1,074 shipped and save a hundred bucks. ;)

Basically, if you like big screens and styli, the Note blows away the SII. If you really don't mind the screen size/res, then it's just a jumbo-sized SII with a CPU speed bump to match.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jorkobe23:
Hello mate!

But I'm not Kiwi. I'm Korean who is just studying in NZ:)

anyway, thank you for welcoming! haha

The shop I reserve for Galaxy Note is H2phone, not mobicity.

I saw that if I ordered it from mobicity, I might have to pay for tax to NZ custom.. so I would be around 1300!! Too expensive :(

Actually, yeah Note is more attractive to me than GS II due to the screen resolution and slightly different design!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sjael:
Even if you're not born a Kiwi, I can still claim you for our country's forum representation. :D

Never heard of H2Phone, actually. It was $1199 on Mobicity a day or two ago, so I assumed that was where you got the price. You make a good point about GST though. Including GST, the Expansys price is about $1235 shipped, and Clove would be about $1160. Pity I'm based in Christchurch - I'd love to be able to grab one for an even $1200 from H2Phone. :(

And yes, the gigantic screen on the Note is a major factor - since it would effectively replace a tablet too, and has pen input, I'm willing to shell out a bit more for it, $1200 is about my limit though. Unless the 32GB Galaxy Nexus ends up being considerably cheaper. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jorkobe23:
Hey mate!

You are so sweet!:) Thanks for good info.

I found one auction on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/32078378918...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_1287

It is selling Galaxy Nexus 32gb for only 640 USD including shipping!!!

I think I'd better wait for it.. but one problem is that

I'm going back to my home country, Korea on the 8th of Nov so

If I can't get it before the 8th, I won't be able to get it this year...t.t

as I do not want my parents to know that I spent too much money for a phone haha

anyway.... I also think the S-pen is so unique and worthy with GNote but the price..... I guess it will be dramatically dropped once I will be back to NZ.

What do you think mate?

If you were me, what would you do?

Get galaxy note on Monday morning or order galaxy nexus to Korea?:)

one more option... getting iPhone 4S?

Please advice me fellow!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sjael:
I'd get the Galaxy Note.

At the moment, no one really knows how much the 32GB (or even 16GB) Nexus will cost, but it will probably be about NZ$1100-1150 since the 16GB model is being pegged at $1040, and won't be out for at least 3 weeks.

The Note has a bigger screen, higher res, (probably) faster CPU+GPU, and pen input for about $50 more. Not to mention dedicated buttons on the Note so you have more usable screen space all of the time.

On the other hand, the Nexus has Ice Cream Sandwich now instead of 2-3 months from now, and faster updates, it has a faster camera and.. that's about it. Unless the price comes out significantly cheaper than the Note, the Note is the better buy to me.

As for the iPhone 4S, it has a 3.5" screen. You can't get anything done on such a tiny, girly screen. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jorkobe23:
Sjael: Cool!

I made my decision. Tomorrow morning I'm gonna get Note:)

Yeah in terms of the spec of the Note, 2-3months or even longer doesn't really matter for ICS. Anyway it'll be surely getting it and it will look gorgeous on Note!

I have purchased so many apps in AppStore that's why I was considering to get iPhone 4s but I have iPad 2 so it'll be okay.

Thank you for really helpful advice Sjael!

Hope we can see in NZ some time soon:)

In the other thread, the owners of GNote said it's laggy compared to Galaxy S2, is it right?

Please just let me know if it's too buggy and slower than galaxy s2.
