[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LiquidNitrogen:
Has anyone noticed that the Galaxy Note is not as fast as it should be? I compared it to a Galaxy S II and the SII was just buttery smooth in terms of speed compared to the Note. The more I played around with the SII the more I noticed the speed and smoothness difference, and it confused me because the Note has a faster processor so it leaves me wondering why the Note is slower.

EDIT: I don't know if anyone else has noticed but there seems to be a very slight lag between input and the phone responding, for nearly everything. From swiping/scrolling to opening up apps, there just seems to be a bit of lag. The SII does not have this, that I can see. Everything is almost instant on it, as soon as you give input to the SII it responds.

Also, for those of you who are lucky enough to have upgraded to 2.3.6, is there a noticeable difference in terms of general speed and smoothness?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] katyarevishal:
Exactly.........

Same i observed as well with d demo piece kept in the shop.

Note is bit lagging than the galaxy s2.

Please answer the question. Did firmware update 2.3.6 improved performance?

Can ICS update make it as smooth as s2 or nexus?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:
I dont know wat u guys are talking about.. My notes smooth.. And i had owned a s2 before..

And relax, its the initial days of the note... More updates will come. And ics is only gonna make it better
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
Sorry but I have to disagree. I would say my Note is buttery smooth, insanely quick & responsive...

I've never owned the previous Galaxy S2 but have tried it in the shop and it's no way any quicker, infact it was choppy at times...

I take it it depends what apps you are running since certain apps are buggy and cause problems such as the device being sluggish at times?

My note has never lagged or been slow. I'm running the stock launcher. I tried others but did not like them.

List of installed apps:

Flash Player

File Manager

Viz Battery

Wallpaper Wizardrii

Smart Keyboard

Beautiful Widgets

Angry Birds (all three)

Yahoo Messenger

Msn Messenger

Skype

Barcode Scanner

MixZing

MX Video Player

Adobe Reader

Opera

I notice that the Android OS uses about double the display. Also when typing fast there is lag. I know about freezing apps, but ill just wait for custom ROMs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] katyarevishal:
i am so pleased to hear this.....

i have not yet bought it, yesterday for the first time i saw a demo piece.

Dont know why but i found it bit laggy. Maybe beacuse the expectations with which i went there.

anyways will need to see another demo piece b4 so that can buy without a doubt...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] straxusii:
Bare in mind the note has ~3 times the resolution of the sgs2 and is only ~14% faster, presumably that accounts for the difference in experience some users have.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] katyarevishal:
of course we know that.........

i just want to know is it really slow than S2? (whatever may be the reason)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] miko3d:
I still got 2.3.5 I'm very picky about speed in my phone, one thing I have noticed is that whenever memory gets really full the device suffers, say for example you launch the default browser and it's choppy, just try this: launch the task manager and do a clear memory from the ram tab.relauncb the browser and compare the speed, lighting fast!

I belive that it somehow loses the hardware acceleration at one point, so next time you guys try one specially at a demo stand, just clear the ram and give it a go.

Input lag is something I haven't noticed, what's more typing using SwiftKey is truly an experience! Zero lag and lighting speed! So I wouldn't worry much about it I'm pretty sure it has more to do with the early stage of the firmware than the lack of hardware to do it.

I truly belive speed is not an issue on this device,it's by no means perfect but it's definitely an experience using this screen with this power under the hood

Also I totally agree about the underrated s-pen people still don't realise that this is not just a piece of plastic with a fine tip, the pen is not crappy one like the horrible stylus on windows mobile phones, this pen uses a magnetic technology developed by wacom, what this means is a mix between accuracy an speed of capacitive touch also let's not forget that it can detect and separate between a normal finger press and pen press it had the potential of doing mouse hovering, not yet implemented on gingerbread drivers, also it finally brings pressure sensitive to the artist so it truly can be used as a sketched on the go!

Download if you want to try the app

Multitouch visualizer 2, so you can see how accurate the pressure and the pen itself is!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] justj:
The only reason S2 is faster is because it has a laughable super low res WVGA display. Low pixel counts = faster rendering time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gv.chaitanya8:
Hi,

Please check the attachment. It is the screenshot of my version on my galaxy note.

I bought my phone yesterday. I connected and and updated firmware using samsung kies software. Now the screen is lagging while scrolling. Please check and suggest something.

Thanks

dude he just said it

what more do you want to know?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
I just updated to DTB PDA KK9 and it feels smoother. Launcher Pro is not stuttering as it was. Battery life infinitely better. Still 50% after a long 16hr day of quite heavy use as opposed to 15% after 8hrs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Funk2641:
Isn't the Note pushing twice the resolution of the GSII?

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out folks :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ekerbuddyeker:
No lag on mine. Justas fast as any other device
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
Probably because it was a demo unit.

I'm running exact same setup on both SGS2 and the Note (Launcher Pro, Widget Locker, etc) and SGS2 definitely is noticeably smoother than the Note in UI operations

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastabolino:
Hi All,

I searched for info on this and found a few old threads but the last replies were in August, and the threads only addressed half the issue, so I thought I would post a new thread.

The Problem: AOSP roms can connect to the wiimote no problem but they do not support MHL out. Samsung based roms support MHL out but cannot connect to a wiimote.

I would love to be able to use my sgs2 as a portable emulator setup :)

Is anyone working on any kind of solultion to this?

Will AOSP roms be able to output to hdmi at some point or is there a licensing issue i dont know about?

Does anyone know a workaround to get the wiimote to connect to a stock rom (by replacing the bluetooth stack or something)?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoibs:
Was also wondering this same thing. I have also tried to find out if ICS will be pushed out to our phone anythime soon as this is rumored to fix this also.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
The simple solution is ditch the wiimote and use a PS3 controller instead as https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller works on stock Samsung ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inhuman5000:
I have a Nexus 1 and have unlimited data working with the web2go $9.99 plan.

The Nexus S did not work with the web2go because Tmobile blocked it. They had the phones imei #'s. The Nexus one was sold by Google so Tmobile did not have the imei #'s

So going off these facts, If I buy the UK Galaxy Nexus will the web2go data plan work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lieu10ant:
did the web2go give you edge speeds, or just 3g speeds? or did it give you HSPA as well? and my last question, will it also give you 4g in the galaxy nexus as well? (if it isn't blocked)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inhuman5000:
Yes it gives me 3g speeds. I think even HSPA+ speeds too (or what the nexus1 limits are capable of. Posted a pic of speed results i just ran)

About the 4g speeds in the galaxy nexus, well in theory if i web2go works then yes I would think that HSPA+ speeds would be achievable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
What is the "Web2go" plan? I don't get it. I'm a T-mo customer. I remember it being a pre-loaded app on my G2 when I bought it but saw no mention of it after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inhuman5000:
Its a $9.99 data plan for dumb phones. Tmobile knows if you are using a dumb phone or a smartphone though. So they wont let you use it, BUT certain phones like the nexus one and other unlocked phones can use this plan by messing with their APN settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Armuro:
I believe the setting is internet2.voicestream.com, right? If so, I think as long as the GN is unlocked, it should work. According to this link, GN works on T-Mobile.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357678

BTW, I'm using a SE X10i from Norway on T-Mobile. No issue w/ internet2.voicestream.com. 3G & all works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I remember setting the APNs to try to get this to work back in the day when I had a WinMo6 phone. This was...5, 6 years ago? Even back then they were blocking smartphones. I highly doubt you could get this to work today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inhuman5000:
I'm using it now. Works great on my nexus one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Armuro:
Yea... probably 5~6 yrs ago... Had SE X1i back then. Was getting only EDGE speed...

Well, up till today, I am still using internet2.voicestream.com. Still pay $9.99 per month. Gets EDGE, 3G, and HSPA depending on area's coverage... (Must say that T-mobile's 3G/H coverage isn't as good as AT&T, but it's cheap...)

I use SE X10i, unlocked, running custom CM7 ROM. Had it for 2 yrs and never had problem with internet2.voicestream.com setting.

Therefore, chances of the same setting working is likely... @ least I'm betting ~$800 on it... =S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Hmm...guess my problem was that I had a T-Mobile MDA (man, it took me a while to remember that name) so they had my IMEI...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inhuman5000:
Did you order the galaxy nexus? If so, can you please update to see if in fact this works. If it dies I'll have one shipped to me as well. This will be a huge plus for me ordering one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Armuro:
Order placed... Now it's waiting time... Assuming that they have stock on 11/22, probably won't get delivered until middle of wk 11/28... Will try to remember to come back to make a post on the result... If it doesn't work, u wanna buy from me? =P (Stupid gadget obsession... XD)

I know T-Mobile did some sh!t like that on the Nexus S. Coworker bought 1 from Best Buy. Worked fine at first. Then got locked out about a week or less. He then updated his data plan to $30, and works fine again. This kinda crap, I don't think will happen to the UK version. T-Mobile-USA can't have all the IMEI# in the world... We'll see soon enough in a wk or more time if the seller ships on time...

Peace out!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
They had the #'s for the Nexus S' sold because they were made for T-mo's AWS 3G. Surely T-mobile got the IMEI's for these.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Will the US carriers ever stop screw their customers over? Probably not. It's kind of sad really but it shows what happens with no competition (as in every phone working on every carrier within the country). :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coldchillen:
any word with tzones/web2go?

also, i wonder if itd make a difference whether the phones bought from an american vendor, as opposed to an overseas one..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Armuro:
Got my GNex today!! (Am happy man right now!:D)

Plugged my T-Mobile SIM into the GNex... and guess what? GNex loaded the epc.tmobile.com settings automatically... and it WORKS even tho I am on the $10 plan.

Didn't seem to have any issue after about 1 hr of use... But I switched back to internet2.voicestream.com settings... Don't know if t-mobile tracks users on epc.tmobile.com or not, but better be safe than sorry...

After switching to internet2.voicestream.com, internet is working as it should. No issue after another hr of use...

If things change, will make another post.

PS. BTW, this is UK version's GNex. US version doesn't seem to be supporting GSM bands...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
Cool, keep us updated if anything changes!

Had been holding off, but now there's no reason to!

We hope.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toonlight:
Are there any downsides to doing this?

I have a Galaxy Nexus on the way and am not currently a T-Mobile customer. How would I go about getting my GN on the web2go plan?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
You can't anymore, unless you already have a T-mob account with that data plan. That's kind of the point. Once you give up the grandfathered data plans, or "upgrade" to an Android data plan (at least $20), it's gone forever. So it behooves anyone who still has it to hold on to it.

Way way back, in the early days of wireless data, T-mobile had a $3? plan, on GPRS. Then it went up to $5. I have the $5.99. Then they started offering a $10 plan. That was available up until maybe last year? I think it's completely unavailable now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NardVa:
Good to hear. Keep us posted. I hope Tmobile doesn't pull the plug after a few weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FastMhz:
tzones 5.99 :)

I received my gnex yesterday and im using the epc apn. I notice speed test are mucher higher on epc versus internet2 apn. The only issue i have is that my mms ( picture messages) from others are pretty blurry. Besides that its a great jump from nexus one to gnex.

I purchased my gnex at clove technology (UK) for a little over $700.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] i<3myphone:
Thanks for updating with your success stories. PLease keep posting. I am "thiiiisssss close" to splurging for a new nexus. I love my Nexus One, but it would be fun to have an upgrade!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
It is kind of fun, thinking about the upgrade.

I finally pulled the trigger after my brother assured me he would be happy to make full use of my N1. Coming from an iPhone, I was not so sure. But he's on the oldschool 3g, running EDGE on T-Mobile, so I think he'll be happy.

Plus he gets 3 regular batteries, 1 mega 4000mah battery, 3 cases to choose from, etc. etc. etc.

I might have to keep my 16gb microSD card though =P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grt3:
Oh man. I've been using the $9.99 data plan on my Nexus One (using the internet2.voicestream.com APN) and just assumed I'd be SOL with my next purchase. I pretty much planned to switch over to Verizon (against my moral code) for the LTE Galaxy Nexus.

But now that I know I could import a GSM Galaxy Nexus, keep my cheap data plan, and get full "4G" data speeds, the calculations are churning in my head and I'm starting to wonder if I should go that route.

Hmmmmmm.

Anyway, thanks for the field research :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] i<3myphone:
Exactly what I have been thinking. I have 2 issues that stop me from pulling the trigger...

1- Confirmation from more people that it "really" does work

2- Not sure I can justify paying that much $ for a phone...

i also do my speed test at "my3gspeed.com" i dont use the speedtest app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] i<3myphone:
Have you ever been blocked by Tmobile when using that epc apn? I used it for the longest time, then I got the dreaded message on my phone. Now I switched to voicestream one and speeds seem the same on my Nexus One.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FastMhz:
Nope. Hey when someone sends u a picture message how's the quality?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] i<3myphone:
It is not the best quality. But I don't really care...I suppose it is a rare thing to get mms's for me. I hardly get them. But , yeah, it's blurry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] norazi:
i currently have an Asian HTC Sensation on the tzones plan (same as web2go but $4/month) and get unlimited 4G.. I am thinking about switching to the GNex though since the dev support for the Sensation is so bad (I HATE HTC SENSE)

according to this FAQ, the GNex should work but i am going to wait a little bit since the Nexus S also worked for a couple months when it came out and then Tmo killed it

**NOOB ALERT**

This is my first post, however this is following 2 days of scouring the forums and trying about a million things so please bear with me.

First my phone info:

Samsung Focus

AT&T

Rev 1.3

OS: 7.10.7720.68 (Mango)

Developer Unlocked Using Official Chevron Token

I am trying to get any of these 3 XAP's to work: Advance Config. OR Accent Changer OR Custom Theme

(Yes I payed $9 to make my dumb squares grey as opposed to the hipster vomit rainbow on offer)

I realize that my device needs to be Interop-Unlocked for these to function, I followed the directions in the Easy Samsung Method, that bundles the unlock with the 3G repair, I then tried the manual heathcliff method (the long stickied post), i then found (through the focus specific board), the Provxml where you hold down on interop unlock and internet sharing to execute thos XML's.

I think, regardless of method, that I am indeed unlocked as WP7 root tools works just fine, However Advanced Config. launches for about 3-4 seconds and then quits, Custom them shows a clock then immediatly closes, and Accent Changer, spits out 4 error messages in a row then closes.

Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there a way to verify I am interop unlocked?

Whats most frustrating is the image on the accent changer post is on a samsung focus!

I have followed the steps to their most minute detail and am stuck. Other XAP's I've downloaded that don't require interopUnlock are crashing after a launch as well, however screen capture, root tools, wario's jewels, and the sharp snes port work great.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimpoteuthis:
The latest Advanced Configuration tools (1.5) work's. Must be an app to app compatibilty issue.

Interop

I also have a Mango Focus and have successfully ChevronWP7 unlocked and interop unlocked and have been able to install and use the Advanced Configuration Tools 1.5, Registry Editor, Screen Capturer, and many other Xaps. Don't know what your problem could be but wanted you to know it can work.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _PhoeniX_:
I am having the same issues... some XAP's work, and the majority don't.
