[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] showdown_counts:
Thank you so much for starting this brilliant thread.

I am facing the same dilemma. After 2 years of HD2, it has been a real pleasure, and even now I dont really put my finger down on why I want to upgrade. But there is this itch to get a new phone.

Basically Im stuck between the RAZR Droid and the Note. I like the Note better, but the RAZR is so bloody cool. Plus, I donno if the Note will be uncomfortable (Im 6'2" with big hands, but still Im donno if it will look awkward during a call).

Help will really be appreciated.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cheahcl:
Another member in the same dilemma. Keep HD2 (Americandroid nand) and buy the tab 7.7, give sis HD2 and buy Gnote, or wait for Asus padfone... Don't know how practical is it to carry a phone and a tablet around though... but not sure if the note will be able to display PDFs without panning at all and how much better the overall browsing experience would be tab 7.7 vs gnote. Is it worth carrying a phone and a tablet around for it?

I'm still happy with my HD2 and don't have much incentive to upgrade unless it will give me the kind of experience upgrading from wm6.5 to android. The browsing in wm6.5 was just horrible. Pics not loading etc etc
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rupple:
I have just ordered the Note after using the HD2 as my main phone with Android for 2 years (loved it!).

Can any of the ex-HD2 owners comment on how the Note compares sound quality wise listening to music via headphones?

I read some worrying comments on sound quality and would be interested how people feel it compares to the HD2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kromosto:
as my hd2 is broken i will buy a note too. but if you ask me if hd2 wasnt broken i will wait for companies to fill market with big screen phones and pick one from them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ProzzaK:
For me, it was a no-brainer.

My HD2 was great, but my new Note is way better. I'm not so sure I will be able to look at any other device after seeing the SGN's gorgeous screen.

For me, SGN is the new HD2 of sorts - niche device, underrated, unknown and very powerful, designed specifically for those people who love this kinds of stuff. Most people would rather buy an iPhone or some regular-sized Droid, than the gargantuan behemoth that is the Note.

One thing though - HD2 felt... more robust, I guess. This one feels light and slick, but I'm a little afraid of breaking it. :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rupple:
Ok, I am going to answer my own question, as I now have the Note. I have done A/B testing with two headphones: a mi-range Sony MDR-EX300 and a high-end Shure SE530 (both IEM). Test done using Power Amp with no EQ.

Basically the sound quality of the Note is worse than that of the HD2:

- less refined stereo separation

- lower dynamics

- sound stage is more compressed

+ the Note does have a very clean signal (HD2 too)

Whereas on the HD2 the SE530 brings out better details of the sound, the Note is simply a no-go for that high-end IEM. On the mid range Sony MDR-EX300 it is usable although I would have wished for better overall SQ.

To be honest am so in love with pens phones...it started with htc universal and then nokie 5800...aftr that i bought the hd2 the 1st day it was available in uk...no regrets on that phone...was the fastest phone and a best for a long time with no compitator other then desire hd.....but to he honest its been 2 years now...we hav to move on for newer technology better and faster one...nothing caught my eyes other then the notes..am a fan of huge phones and the stylus pen woow...i find it like hd2 but a 2011 version...enhanced faster bigger (twss)...anyway if u r asking wht am using the pen for....am now going to lectures without anypapers nor abag....i write every lecture in s.memo....and even recording the voice of the lecturer while writing in s.memo...in the end i like this phone....its the best for now

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ekerbuddyeker:
It really is like when i got my HD2. A totally new experience. I love it. I've already started using it where i used to use my ipad. Probably my best device since my HD2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PlayStation:
Beautiful thread. I got the HD2 and a Galaxy Tab 8.9. The tab is perfect for media consumption especially for reading magazines books watching videos etc. But unfortunately i cant always have the tab on me. LEO is still very good as a phone as well as for things like perusing posts in the social networks. But after more than 2 years i think its time the decorated general went into semi retirement.

I wont ever sell my hd2 as it will still remain my test unit. I am testing ice cream witj it as we speak and running Mango too. But the note will take its place as daily driver while the tab serves its duty for serious reading.

So in short for me i will not be replacing my hd2 but basically the 2 (or should i say the three to include the tab) shall live side by side in glorious harmony..... :D

Oh in case anyone is wondering I got a man bag (murse?) for carrying my stuff sround :)

Icon and general text size compared to HD2

Good day,

I am an HD2\WM 6.5.3 user with poor vision, hence my interest in the Galaxy Note.

1) Can someone tell me if the icons and the icon text is smaller or larger on the GNote?

2) Same question when browsing the internet and reading mail BEFORE zooming in?

I often have to squint or occasionally use a monocle to view some of the program screens on my HD2 and am hoping that the increased DPI of the GNote is not going to make things smaller over all, despite the larger screen size.

Clearly I am hoping for all things to appear larger!

3) And a little off topic but one of the best things I liked about the HD2\Opera 9.7 browser was auto text wrap\reflow when one does a pinch to zoom. HTC seems to include this functionality in their Sense UI on Android as they did with WM and I do not think the built in browser on the GNote does this???

I tried Dolphin HD on an Andorid SD build on my HD2 but I could not get auto text wrap to work at all, let alone like it does with WM\HTC\Opera.

I would greatly appreciate any\all details and insights anyone can provide before I drop my cash on what I hope to be the answer to my needs.

Thanks in advance, you lucky people.

Got Xoom from Hong Kong;

Mucked about;

Solarnz saved the internal memory issue;

Mucked about again;

Found something called RSDLite that flashes firmwares - SBF;

Flashed a firmware through RSDlite;

RSDLite shouted - "Manually reboot";

That was the last I saw of my XOOM. It doesn't power on; Volume up + Power does nothing; power button does nothing;

Pulled her pants off;

Disconnected her battery wires (and the back-up battery link) thinking lack of power supply may reset some state!; Nothing!

At this point - I'm not sure if I should run it over with my car or my wifes SUV? Hmmm...:confused:

I am creating this thread as a thread for people to post screenshots of their battery life, instead of having to go through the over 3,000 pages on the ARHD thread in the Android development section.

I am still on the second battery cycle, and will post results in a day or two.

but feel free to post yours. I think it will help people decide if they want to use this ROM or not.
[HTC Sensation] snelan:
Seems like a pretty good idea, I will take a pic when I can :D

I have no pictures, but when I was using ARHD i get about seven hours moderate use.

Although I am not using ARHD at the moment, it's still interesting to see. I'm sure I am like a lot of people who want to flash a rom that will give better battery life.

[HTC Sensation] ximocko:
Hi everyone, I'm using ARHD too and having a question. To a few first charge cycles for the new ROM to settle down, do I need to let it drains completely (dies) and then charge it to 100%? Or I just need to charge the phone till it reach under 15% without turning it off?

Thanks in advance,

[HTC Sensation] rryanosman:
Lots of similar threads around.

Seems to me what is really useful to know is the current drain during standby (as logged by current widget or other similar prog). My opinion at least is, when you're using the phone to do stuff, it's gonna drain battery at a rate depending on what you're doing and how fast you're doing it, so that has little to do with the ROM. But when the phone is in standby for the other 10 or 20 hours, if it's draining 300ma or 3ma is what makes the big difference to battery life. I'm seeing 2:1 differences just by putting a different radio in! And as far as I'm concerned, stock, insertcoin, ARHD, whatever... any one would be fine feature wise, but it's much more important to me to have a phone that will last a full hard day without a charge. And a 2 day cycle would trump all other details. So I'm experimenting with different ROMs, kernels, radios and RILs to try to find the magic combination.

And BTW, FWIW, so far, ARHD with Bricked kernel and recommended radio seems to be best (at about 40ma), and I've seen a lot of others reaching the came conclusion. But I remember reading a thread where a guy was showing 1 to 3ma! (it wasn't a sensation though, but an HTC of some sort), so I think there's room for improvement somewhere!

Current widget draining battery on Sensation

I used current widget a time or two to monitor my drainage with ARHD 6.5.X and the drain on standby was around 45-60mahwith spikes up to 150... Drained my battery within 14 hours. Uninstalled it - easily had juice left 18 hours later or so when I hooked it back up to the charger..
[HTC Sensation] Buck_Falcon:
The battery life in standby is pretty good, however I've found that when playing a game, the battery drops about 10% every 15 minutes which is very concerning. I'm running ARHD 41.0. My battery life used to be just fine while playing graphic intensive games on the stock ROM. It concerns me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beach_Head:
Photon users outside the US, here's how you can enable the built-in Wireless Hotspot functionality on your phones...

1. Go to data/data/com.motorola.providers.setttings/databases/ and open settings.db

2. Look for entitlement_check or id 139 and change the value from 0 to disabled

3. Reboot and you're good to go...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jorjitoc:
I didn't have to do any of that when I used my Photon in Greece. Mine is rooted with photon torpedo method and I used wifi tether from the Market. I used a Wind sim card for data there and just turned on wifi tethering many times over a ten day period so my wife could connect to the Internet (she has a locked AT&T iPhone 4) via wifi when she wanted. Worked great.

(EDIT) - ah, you mean built-in wifi hotspot. I stand corrected. Still, wifi tether from the market worked with no hitches, so that's one other way to go...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugothakd:
So is there a way to lower it? Like, sometimes I use screen filter. But there's gotta be a way to make the brightness go lower

sent from my always aosp epic
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j7jman:
Try this: Touch the main pull down menu bar but besides pulling it down when it pops up swipe from right to left to lower brightness, and left to right to increase brightness... I'm not sure if this is what your talking about or if this feature's included in your rom but it always helps me because I'm an "auto brightness off" kinda dude haha

*note you'll have to turn auto brightness off in the settings menu under the display option for this to work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_details:
I don't think that will work for him because he's on an AOSP ROM (assuming your sig is correct) and he wants a screen brightness lower than what's available.

I don't know of a way, but I'm curious as to why you'd want something like this.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugothakd:
Yeah, besides even on a touchwiz rom I delete that apk so it doesn't work anyway. And A LOT of people would like this, its why there's screen filter on the market. I just want a native way

Hello All.

I'm looking for the best way to play 720p Movies on the Galaxy Note so I can take advantage of the excellent screen but run into a few problems.

1) The 720p files are over 4GB

2) Struggling converting .MKV files to a Note friendly format while keeping the quality.

3) Streaming is then the only option but still have to convert the video files first.

What methods do you guys use to get good quality Movies / TV shows on your Note?

Many Thanks

PS. Wish AirPlayit would come out for android. Used the iPhone version and that was excellent.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nbass668:
I use Handbrake (open source) http://handbrake.fr/ to convert my mkv's

there are tons of tutorials and walkthroughs for most of the android devices

for example just follow this

http://androidadvices.com/how-to-convert-watch-movies-on-samsung-galaxy-tab/

however, make sure you adjust the resolution that fits the note which is 1200x800 because the website is talking about galaxy tab
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RustyWrightOne:
Many Thanks for that :)

The settings on the website after changing the resolution look awesome and have cut my 5GB file down to 1.6GB.

I was wondering whether there are any replacement covers for the thickened battery covers the 2000mAh battery kit comes with, I'm just worried that if I break this cover, I don't want to buy the entire kit again, so I was wondering if there were any replacements you can buy online?
