[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PlayStation:
Thank you for the quicky answer Beards. My worry really is not with the width or the depth/thickness. I am only concerned about the height. But I may have to take the extreme step of opening up one side of the case to accomodate the height of the Note. I am also thinking that if I remove the leather piece in the middle of the pouch that will leave more room which might just as well accomodate the Note. I know its a tough call but I do love this pouch immensely. I got it in brown leather and it looks and feels splendid :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
No problem....

If you take the measures above you then MAY get the Note inside.

The Note is extremely thin, no thicker than the SGSII which is thin on it's own.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
- size that's why you buy because of the screen size.

- a lot of my friends saying it is to big but then when they look a sample video they shut up.

- of course all the time

- not at all even I never cared what people say/think. It suites me I have it I use it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] holgalee:
--I was concerned about not afraid. Despite being a petite person of the fairer gender, I can hold my NookColor in one hand and wrap my fingers around it, though barely. So holding the Note in one hand is no issue at all, though one-handed typing would be risky for me.

--Nopes, but a lady looked askance at me on the train yesterday. She's not enlightened and doesn't fall within the target market for this fabulous phoneblet. The few colleagues I showed it to went "Wow! It's big! Nice display! Good size!"

--Yes, I have made and received one call each if I recall correctly. Nobody cares how I look as long as I don't put on a clown nose.

--A little, but that's only because I'm generally the self-conscious kind. On the one hand I want people to notice my fabulous, non-fruity, huge phone, on the other I want some privacy when I'm playing with the phone. On the bus, a lady sitting next to me leaned back and rubber necked to see what I was doing. That was fun but I'm not going to be responsible for whipped necks! ;)

It's more than the big brother of the SGS2, it's a versatile mini computer that's going to change your life!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indie13:
Big thanks to you guys for taking the time to reply to my ramblings. I think your words of advice have been well written and will help me to come up with an answer to the ultimate question which is "what will be my next phone".

Thanks again.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] speculatrix:
Has anyone tried a Bluetooth keyboard with it to ensure its function doesn't clash with the pen input?

I started on smartphones and PDAs with palms, had the Nokia 770 and n800, skipped the Nokia N900 as is was too small and would have been happy without the keyboard. I'm currently using an HTC Vision aka DesireZ/G2 because of a lack of phones without stylus input. Capacitive screens killed resistive screens for the wrong reasons and that killed the stylus. :-(

Anyway, my point is that the Note might be my perfect tablet. I just need to get some hands-on time in a shop to know!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rjammali:
Totaly ture, I'm very satisfied with my note ... and I see the size as an added value, it's not a chunky mobile it's very slim and elegant.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
When I am at home and I am messaging a lot I use one of my Samsung battery chargers/desk stands as a stand and connect a portable BT keyboard with integrated trackpad to the Note (it basicaslly feels like using a "normal" computer.. connect also a monitor via HDMI and maybe normal sized BT keyboards and mouses and you DO have a computer!!).

Everything works beautifully on my Note on the latest KK9 ROM.

I just tried to use the S-pen while the Note is connected with the keyboard plus integrated trackpad and I also tried it while connected to my computer's normal sized BT keyboard and mouse and in both cases the pen is working normally so if that was the last possible deal breaker for you go and buy the best smartphone out there!! :)

Frankly, and after about a month of use, I regard it as the ONE AND ONLY true and usable smartphone out there!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] snp3:

This thread is probably a big disappointment to many TROLLS I already detected on this forum :D:D

They probably read the title of this thread and think they found another thread to be negative about this phone and troll around like trolls do ...and then... BANG!

Only positive things :D:D:D:D

Well done !!! :D

I,m in love..

Hahahaha. me too! I got my Galaxy Note a week ago, and I couldnt agree more with you guys. This is THE phone for me, and I pick it out of my pocket about 50 times a day, just to see and feel this beutiful phone :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] duowing:
I have to agree. I bought a Galaxy Note, and then I got in the hype and had to buy myself a GSM Galaxy Nexus. I love the Nexus, but I have to admit I

love

the Note. I can easily pull two days of battery life out of it. I know people hate touchwiz, but some of the customizations on it are kind of nice vs. stock android. The screen, the s-pen, the weight, everything. The size is a little odd in pocket, but it still fits. I love the note! Probably more so than the Nexus.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] betoNL:
So...what about all those reports about screen issues?

The only issue I could reproduce was the banding n some non optimized images btw

(show models at the store....)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AdzUK:
I agree with the OP on all counts, this is quite simply the ultimate all in one mobile device. I've had mine for around a month now and the screen still blows me away. There is no going back to a smaller screen, only a 1080p 5"+ screen on the Note 2 will do. :D

Your post's heading gave a fright of my life.

I got my Note a little more than a week ago and fell in love with it.

Suddenly I saw you post heading and was worried like hell if I made a mistake.

Great eye catching post.

I do agree that I will not go back to smaller size phone.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
Forgot to reply to this post, sorry very little time lately.

OK: I never claimed to have been onboard from the very beginning, I wrote "almost" so I guess it all depends on what you mean by "almost".. :D

I went looking for it and the Motorola can't-remember-its-name I mentioned was a MicroTAC International (I still can't remember nor find its exact model version) from 1995 which, incidentally, should be the same time your first mobile came out :p

It was at the beginning of the GSM era in Italy (it took credit card sized SIM cards...) and that's why I wrote "almost" as before that we had ETACS mobile phones which I never was interested in for a variety of reasons.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xeq544:
I absolutely agree, I had an Galaxy S2 before I got my note. And now when I hold my note, and after playing a bit with the note I decided to wipe all data from the S2 and I couldnt get used to its small screen anymore, it just feels too small... lol and that 4.3 inches.

It is an amazing phone, if you dont mind the size or dont have tiny hands(that would be a bummer).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
WHAT screen issues?

Its screen is one of the best smartphone screens ever (taking its size into account it is THE best, period) and one of its very own strong points!!

I've got no issues with it whatsoever.

BTW, I fell in love with S-AMOLED screens the moment I first saw them and luckily my last 3 smartphones all had S-AMOLED screens (part of the very reasons I chose them).

Great sharpness, great contrast, great brightness, great viewing angles, great outdoor visibility, great power savers and the one in the Note very good resolution too.

No lag playing movies, "uniform backlighting"... really, it simply is almost perfect :)

Only two issues are color fidelity reproduction (just a matter of screen calibration, for example the Galaxy S was practically perfect with Voodoo or Supercurio's profiles, the Note is already pretty good) and banding BUT I managed to notice banding ONLY when purposely trying to reproduce it and specifically looking for it. NEVER even slightly bothered me in normal usage (and this too is just a matter of screen calibration anyway).

I don't understand the necessity to knock the iPhone in praising this phone. I have had both, and they each have their strong points and weak points. I am very happy with my Note, I am continuously amazed by new things I learn it can do, but there is nothing crappy about the iPhone. iPhone is a great phone and has set the standard by which all other phones are judged (sometimes unfairly, I realize).

Would really like to see everyone praise the awesome things about the Note without feeling the need to artificially elevate it by trying to stomp on the iPhone.

I have an infuse now.... I can't wait til att releases this fone I'm loving all the hype about this phone coming from a dell streak and a infuse this is gonna be my best phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Markhypnosis:
To all those worried about the Note's weight causing aching arms. I really don't think the note is heavy enough to cause this....there just isn't enough weight to fatigue the arm muscles in that way. The most likely cause of an aching arm will be the fact that your elbow has to be bent to hold a phone up to the ear, and if bent for long enough will start to ache due to being contracted for so long. This has happened to me on all my phones no matter how light they are.

To the poster who complained that he felt the GS2 was causing his arm to ache....the S2 is probably the lightest phone on the market, it's so light that you barely even know you're holding it so its definitely not the phone putting too much strain on your muscles.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vulpix:
Yeah, I saw that post and rolled my eyes. If a girl can comfortable hold the S2 for an hour watching videos, I'm pretty sure the phone is not the problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] newb4ev3r:
Cannot agree more. Very satisfied user here. :D Use it for about a week and love it. The only problem is short battery live, about 5:30 under heavy non-stop usage. :D And the charging takes around 4 hours. :( Need to invest in a spare battery or fast charging dock.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
Speaking for me only, I don't knock the iPhone *in praising* the Note, I knock the iPhone and the rest of the Apple products *whenever I can*.

To me, Apple's smartphones are everything smartphones SHOUD NOT BE.

I generally like the design of Apple stuff (minus the iPhones4, an ugly little brick) and they generally are of good to very good quality material-wise (leaving aside that metal and glass -screen apart of course- are the WRONG choice for MOBILE devices which are supposed to be LIGHT). I also likED the coherence and graphical appeal of the first iOS (which, on the other end, was missing so many features it was not even funny). What I deeply dislike is their philosophy, products and SW/operating systems limited and handicapped in so many ways it's too long to list. A quick example with the iPhone4: HEAVY, INTEGRATED BATTERY, 3.5" SCREEN, NO MEMORY CARD SLOT, PITIFUL (and late) MULTITASKING, PITIFUL (and late) NOTIFICATION SYSTEM, no easily accessible file system, file management and file exchange, late wireless PC Sync, no Adobe Flash, the list just goes on and on... WTF???? This is a smartphone?!?!?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Umm. It might have something to do with Steve Job's vow to destroy Android with Thermonuclear war, spending every last dollar doing it. Or the frequent(frivolous) patent law suits that threaten to delay or stop our chosen devices from being released.

That, and the massive ignorance some have about smartphone evolution as Mr Jobbies gave everyone the impression he single handedly invented the smartphone in 2007. Or it could be the ignorance of iphone fanboys who don't realise there is and has been for years, a whole universe(a better one) outside apple world. This is one of the things that annoys me the most.

So everyone remembers how in Gingerbread, 2.3.x, going to Settings > About Phone and then clicking Android Version repeatedly would bring up that awesome painting of the Gingerbread zombie and Android guy? And how in Honeycomb it would make a bee buzzing? I think, *think*, I may have found what happens for Android 4.0. While browsing the system dump posted by MoDaCo I stumbled upon these images.

Everyone knows Nyan Cat, yes? The Pop Tart cat from YouTube? If not, here's a link to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4

I think Nyandroid is Google's play on the video. Somehow we'll figure out what purpose it serves, if it hasn't been discovered and posted elsewhere already. Just thought I'd share my find with everyone. :D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unaha:
so yeah,,, i got a nexus one from a friend of mine (whos done alot of flashing and installing custom roms on this phone so i dont really know whats running) but it drains about 10-15% battery every hour or so.

ne suggestions on how i can figure out if its a bad rom or a bad battery??

thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Easiest way to know if it's the ROM is to flash a new one. I suggest cyanogen mod it is some what simple but works well and battery is just fine. There is plenty of documentation on the forum to show you how to flash but if you still can't get it just ask and I can walk you through it. You may also want to check settings -> about phone -> battery use to see what uses up the most of your battery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaplen:
you could try calibrating the battery
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unaha:
so ive ran some tests, basically fully charge one time without simcard and another time with, to see if the radio drains more battery. and both times its about the same.

i did order a few batteries off ebay, but probably will be like two weeks or so before they come in.

mmmm the md5 stuff kinda confuses me haha, dont know how that stuff works
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
You don't always need to check md5 you can if you want but most people don't just make a nandroid backup and that way if the file is corrupted you just flash it back and your good. But if you do want to check them just download ManD5 and check to see if the one on the file matches the one on the website.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thealphamale05:
Under >Settings >About Phone >Battery >Battery Use

What are the top 5 applications and what %?

Wifi should be set to never sleep. under >Settings >Wireless >Advanced >Wifi Sleep Policy

Find out which ROM and radio are being used. Cyanogenmod7.x or OxygenROM would be good for battery life.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken638:
You should also try charging the phone to 100% and then wiping battery stats.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwkpete:
Does your phone get warm when charging?

Having swapped ROMs back and forth, wiping everything, I get the same bad battery life (-10%/30 minutes). Wife's N1 runs fine, ours ran the same stock OTA versions until this. I needed to see if it was something related to the OS and tried some alternatives.

Replaced battery - no difference (wiped stats, etc)

Turned off data (wifi and non).

I can't tell when the radio was updated on mine - if it was related to an update that would correlate to the problem, but I have the latest radio that has been out a while.

Logcat looks just fine. It's not data related, nothing seems to be going on when charging...

My hands are cold, using the N1 as a hand warmer right now (it's plugged in)...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trschober:
There's a bug with CM's kernels causing a LOT of battery drain when you set the wifi sleep policy to anything but "never sleep", check that and change it in case it's not. I know it sounds counter-intituive, but it really works.

I set mine to "never sleep" and easily last a full day on a charge. I also calibrated my battery using the battery calibration app, and using a plain black background helps somewhat if your N1 is AMOLED
[Galaxy S II General] sniiidk:
I have absolutely no gripes about the Samsung Galaxy S2, best phone I have ever tried....... Okay, just one gripe!

It pertains to the outgoing voice call volume. People I talk to often comment that it's often hard to hear my voice well. This has never been a problem with other mobile phones I have owned in the past. Does there exist a way to boost the outgoing voice volume on this otherwise excellent phone?
[Galaxy S II General] dreamdestiny:
I have the same problem i have have discovered its something to do with the noise cancellation. If u disable it people will be able to hear u more clearly. U can disable it while by pressing the menu key while ur in a call
[Galaxy S II General] dzontra11:
Sorry guys...no solution for that.I try everything..some woodoo **** etc..but no..

I sold my old g2 and buy new one..now my g2 rocks...
[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
I had a galaxy s2 that the first call I was hard to hear and also the wifi signal was rubbish in comparison to my galaxy s. This was a hardware fault with the sgs2 so I would suggest taking back to get changed under warranty.
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
Many people have reported poor call quality / echo etc. For many just removing the case helps.

I can't believe that by using a case, call quality is affected but its true. It happens to me. When people complain I remove the case and call quality is fine.

I now have one of those perforated cases (the mesh looking ones) and this doesn't happen any more.
[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
That's a good point, if the microphone for speaking on the bottom or the microphone on the top for noise cancelling is covered then, definitely, call quality will be terrible.

Try drilling a hole in the case if it does cover either hole...
[Galaxy S II General] Martin5000:
I had the issue too - turned out it's the builtin noise cancellation that was the culprit.

If you're using stock rom, press menu button during a call, select more and turn off noise cancellation (or whatever it's called). Should give instant results. Unfortunately it seems like it's a per call setting change (ie. it's not remembered and you have to turn it off whenever the issue appears).

I'm using VillainRom 3.0 and installed VRTweaks - from there you can disable it permanently. I don't know if other rooms have that feature.

Hope it helps.
