[TouchPad General] Seg2012:
Hi Guys.

As per the the title. Is it worth it or should I give it a miss. I originally wanted the Mototrola Xoom, but have been offered a Touchpad as a swap.

What do you guys think? I know the specs, I know the TP has WebOS, but without reading through lots of threads, how is Android on the TP. Should I get the TP then I will read through the threads as I do with the Galaxy S2 and HD2 previously.

Thanks

Seg
[TouchPad General] T-Keith:
Not a good swap for you. Android is still pretty rough on the Touchpad and the s2 is better in every way except screen size.
[TouchPad General] Seg2012:
Thanks T-Keith.

I am desperate for a tablet. Like I said, ideally would like th Xoom, but was open to other options. I knew it had been discontinued but that isn't always a bad thing, especially with the stuff the devs on here manage to create.

Anyway thanks again T-Keith you have made my mind up.

Hey I noticed you were interested in a tablet for your phone, and I have an HP touchpad 16gig and a tegra 2 viewsonic grab both in excellent condition and I would definitely consider bartering with you for a trade, message me or reply to the thread if your interested! Both tabs are up for trade btw
[TouchPad General] shorty87:
I have a 16GB Touchpad and a T-Mobile Galaxy S2. Any version of the Galaxy S2 is worth at least $400-$500. So if you really want a tablet, sell your phone and buy the tablet instead of trading a higher value phone for a lower value tablet.
[TouchPad General] Tykin:
If you were to sell your GalaxyS2 on eBay, you would have more than enough to buy a touchpad from eBay as well as a lower end phone.
[TouchPad General] durps:
Tell them to give you cash and the tablet. The tablet is worth 250, your phone is worth about 450, so i think the tablet and about 120 bucks isnt so bad.
[TouchPad General] Seg2012:
Thanks for your replies guys. I didn't bother with the touchpad. I have my heart set on a Motorola Xoom. Trying to wangle a swap through local freeads and even ebay.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommo123:
it won't go away! hit clear - nothing. still there. dialled into the vmail and deleted the message - still there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
As this seems to be an issue of the vmail app, you should contact the developer directly or have a look at the developer's homepage.

Maybe there are some FAQs and/or descriptions of how to configure the app correctly.

You can find the contact and web-site information in the Market entry of the app ... or alternatively somewhere in the app's menu.

Good luck !

Come on then, we've had our notes for a little time now. Here is the place to vent any of your frustrations with it. Weather that be the screen, camera, launcher or anything else you can think of.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] denialnw10:
I've had my Note for just under a month now and my only disappointment is that it's now selling for £450 and I bought it for £550!!!! LOL!

Ok, aside from that the only real issue I have is the auto-brightness screen bug/issue. Other than that I would say that the phone is perfect and is more than everything that I would have dreamed of. All I need now is ICS and, potentially with that, a bug fix to solve the screen issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ekerbuddyeker:
I still can't find the 'shrink to fit in my pocket' button.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ik911:
perfect love it just need ics
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cu_ninja:
+1 for ICS but the only real negative is that it's ruined smaller form factors for me. Seriously, I played with a Galaxy Nexus and was so dissapointed due to it's relatively "small" screen. I had a Nexus S prior to the Note and probably would have really appreciated a 4.65 inch screen, but not anymore.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] white-note:
Great phone.

Had it for about 3 weeks,

After MW, Symbian and Maemo I wanted Android.

And like I said, its a great phone.

But, i did send it back for repair.

In that 3 weeks i wasn't able to talk to anyone in a normal way.....

And I think thats the first thing U want to do with a phone :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jock23:
Only disappointment for me is the lack of 5x?? widgets out there at the moment, making my screen look untidy!! Is ICS going to fix this?

Camera is s**t hot, screen is amazing and the size is perfect for my needs. Music sounds as good as my HTC desire did. Can't think of any bad points at the moment!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] epicfailguy2:
If you want 5x widget you should use launcher pro or ADW ex as launchers, hell you go resize widgets to 10x10 if you want lol.

Have a look here at how it looks with a 7x5 grid on LP (portrait) or landscape (ADW) https://picasaweb.google.com/114505993397088135290/GalaxyNotr
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DeathOfAllThings:
Bluetooth audio quality is terrible as it is with all the galaxy phones. I can see a lot of people not noticing it, because I don't think that many people use bluetooth audio much, but it annoys me to no end since I listen to BT headphones all day at work, and all my cars have BT headunits, basically I rely on bluetooth completely for listening to my music. I've looked around and apparently the only real solution is a rom with its own bluetooth stack... such as Cyanogen.... I really hope someone is close to finishing a good cyanogen build.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jock23:
do you have to have it rooted for that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
No .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bryce2010:
It is absolutely mind boggling to me how there could be this issue. It's like I'm having deja-vu with my Nexus One. The auto-brightness on that phone simply did not work. The auto brightness cycled up and down repeatedly for no reason, with no outside change in light.

Various mods were done to try to fix it but nothing ever really fixed it. It was always too bright for indoor and too dim for outdoor and changed brightness levels randomly for no reason.

So now I have a feeling that I soon will have another phone in which I simply can't use a feature because it simply doesn't work properly. Why? Is it Android OS? Do any Android phones have this feature where it actually works? Why do they release phones with a feature that doesnt work???:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrix Ashburn:
No need to be rooted. You can use ADW, Launcher Pro, Go Launcer..etc..im using GO Launcher currently. Already tried Launcher Pro..will use ADW soon.

TapaTalking on Note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
i used bluetooth audio through sync on my pops ford truck and not a single issue
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tahpics:
I'd concur w/ ICS..I'm sure a ROM will be up soon, but to be honest.. I really like the S-Pen functionality and can wait patiently for an official Sammy upgrade as I know all the Galaxy phones are a priority.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
Some minor things:

1) I find the power button too easy to press, since it's opposite the volume controls.

2) I find the capacitive buttons WAY too sensitive. I wish they were real buttons.

3) I don't use it much, but max volume on the speaker isn't loud enough.

4) I do miss one handed use a bit.

I think that's it, to be honest. I'm very very happy with it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
My biggist issue with any new device.

1.The witch hunt for issues.

Biggist issues with the note.

1. Most people who purchase will have girly hands

2. Takes me 1/10 of a sec to change the brightness on my last 3 samsung devices. This is probably the result of my bigger hands though.

3. Cant control who buys the device.

My real issue.

1. I dont expect much development for this phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
This is SUCH A GREAT DEVICE!

Coming from a Dell Streak, the size wasnt a surprise for me... But the speed has been a pleasant surprise. General navigation and browsing is awesome.

The camera is a step up for me.

The "feel in my hand" is great. Its light, but solid. Doesnt feel like it needs a case to survive.

Complaints? I see a little hitch/lag every once in a while; Samsung needs to clean up. The screen is gorgous but it has some oscillation in color when scrolling or idle particularly noticable on white pages.

Gawd I love this device!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andyh:
Lots of love for the gnote but I do have a small complaint. It's too thin; I have a hard time felling it vibrate for notifications. I hope my case (when it arrives) will help solve this.

I never would have thought that this would be an issue with a device so large.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] stjs:
I have both the Note and the Galaxy Nexus and I love the new ics but found it to be a bit cramped on the Nexus. Trust me...when the note gets ics you will be in heaven. Ics screams for a big screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
Never had this problem. A couple of times in some of the apps, back button was unresponsive, and I have seen this in my other Android devices too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
The screen does stop responding to touch when using pen, only the hardware buttons still work and often back/home happens while writing. I have begin to like writing in landscape as it uses screen real estate better and this made the inadvertent pressing of hardware buttons at bottom go away. This is not a solution per se, Samsung has to solve this, and also make the sync with Google docs usable (it resizes the notes at present and requires manual syncing)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
I have seen this glass on both my tab and note and there are no scratches whatsoever on both devices. Corning makes these glasses and it is impossible that either Samsung or Corning will dupe customers with inferior glass.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
Upgrade firmware.

In India, I updated to 2.3.6 via kies (not over air) and these little problems have gone away.

I guess ICS will do away with whatever glitches remain now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
I've never once had a phone that would sound alarms when turned fully off. Although it would be a nice feature, that would require some kind of hardware modification, as something has to stay on to keep tracking time and looking out for alarm time. There's no need to turn the phone off while charging. It doesn't do anything the battery needs. As someone else suggested, if you're looking to silence it while sleeping, you can put it in airplane mode and it'll still sound the alarm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
GPS locks in 3 seconds. 6 seconds at most.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sibere:
Widgets can be resized to 5x5 with a launcher like launcher pro.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
Yes, but home launchers don't support many of the Samsung app widgets, most importantly the S-memo and S-planner.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lukabike:
3G reception

How is the 3G reception on the Note? Currently as the SGS1 user I'm not happy with either GPS, WiFi or 3G reception (I've done back to back tests with a couple of HTC phones and they were much better in all areas). But the screen quality of the AMOLED is really superior so I'm thinking about buying a Note...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rnewton01:
Only thing I'm disappointed with is the dark colour blocks while watching video. hopefully this is solved with updates.

Everything else about this phone is outstanding. Just had a 5 hour car trip from Toronto to Montreal, and GPS was incredible, even while acting as a portable hotspot for kids laptop at the same time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] holgalee:
The Note sucks up most of my available time. I just want to keep using it, playing with it, holding it.

And it consumes battery power when I use it. I wished it didn't!

*Tongue in cheek!* :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sunil_k:
I absolutely love my Note. I would say the only thing i dont like is the speaker. The volume is pretty low when i show off playing videos on it... Even with the volume turned up to the loudest, you cant really hear much :/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
This is because the speakers are at the back.. they should start placing it at the sides.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cyrus-R:
The only disappointment is on the stock browser which I use a lot. Kinda laggy and not very responsive especially zooming and switching tabs. Overall, very good.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dscline:
Voice recognition is really spotty with this phone. Some things it understands well, while other things I say over and over and it never gets.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xplan9:
Love the Note, just wish the "mystery screen tapping" bug didn't make it unusable for me - slight disappointment ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Samael X6:
Well i was a iphone 3gs user but so far i love the note. Only thing i dont like has nothing to do with the note but with the android market place.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
This question is rather ambiguous. If the question means would you like it to be improved or changed to suit you better personally, then it goes without saying that almost everyone would be able suggest changes. If the question means do you think the phone is faulty then the polls here show that the vast majority do not think it is. If anyone feels frustrated because the phone does not meet their needs or expectations then they might well consider doing more research before buying their next phone. If anyone feels frustrated because their phone is faulty they should make a claim under the manufacturers warranty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
The flip cover that comes free with it, is utterly useless.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
Try Dolphin HD. You won't ever go back. :-)

https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ericshmerick:
So is the rumor that using Dolphin flagged AT&T users as tethering, or am I imagining things?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
The s-memo issue is resolved in 2.3.6 upgrade. Back button is disabled while writing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Carmageddon1984:
Well, that seems to be true.

But thats only half the problem - this is true when actually drawing something, not when holding the pen next to the screen.

I think users need to be given the option to COMPLETELY disable the back button (preferably even menu) until I actually click "Save" or "Cancel".
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
Actually two disappointments:

1-Camera quality not impressed with,sharpness option is badly needed in the settings.

2-The homescreen doesn't tilt to landscape,since I use it mostly that way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
Yes, sometimes back key is pressed when you are using memo but not righting something. That is an issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
+1 on the homescreen issue. It's plain stupid. When using in landscape, if one moves to home, the whole device gets into portrait even if still holding in landscape.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] taufikkusdinar:
My only disappoinment is Note doesnt have that fancy speaker like playbook has.

But from the other thing definitely Galaxy Note is the winner..

Even when Blackberry Playbook known for it multitasking someway somehow Gnote multitask doesnt bother me at all

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
There should have been oleophobic coating on the gorilla glass. The white SGN is VERY prone to grease. I don't know how the heck it gets there, but it sure does. Don't get me wrong, the white SGN is an absolute pleasure to hold on to... like a smooth slab of glass. :D But, yeah... it does get quite slippery. And if you put a TPU case on, the darn thing is like a brick. It instantly becomes too big for pockets. :mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Eric_L_2011:
Nothing I can complain, compare with my previous phone :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pachi72:
The only 2 disappointments are..

1. The video problems like banding and pixelation.. Hope it gets fixed soon.

2. Should've had an sd card instead of a micro sd card.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hara74:
Hi @ all.

I got my Note a few weeks ago. And the first time I rooted a phone :D

Now i´ve costum rom and kernel on it and i´m totally happy with my Note.

There is nothing to complain till now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RReckless:
My only little problem was the screen not rotating to landscape but now I use launcher pro I don't have that prob any more. :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Galaxea:
Have you seen this case yet? : http://www.rearthusa.com/galaxy_note_slim.html
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
I just checked it out. It's ok. I have a SGP ultra capsule right now and it fits very snug. A great case over all. it's just like the ringke but has a glossy finish. Looks great and everything. BUT it is just about as thick as the ringke. You can notice the thickness by the MHL port very easily. It adds ATLEAST 2.5mm. It doesn't sound like much, but in relation to the actual thickness of the device, It's more than 25%. :mad: I wonder if you know anything about the SGP ultra thin.

http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-note/sgp-samsung-galaxy-note-case-ultra-thin-series.html

But I'm guessing it does not offer anything in the way of drop protection.

Edit. I just checked out the rearth website on my desktop and saw the description images. It says the Note is 10.55mm?!? :confused: What demon sorcery is this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
I've have this case. The note is already so thin that adding a couple of mm is not a big deal. I really don't understand this thinness craze.

The 10mm number might be the thickness with the case on, although part of that is the tiny lip.

Off topic a bit, but I wish the phone was a couple of mm thicker and had a bigger battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nicbet:
This ... is the only one I have.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mickwa76:
The laggyness isn't normal for such a modern device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
Disappointed for sure. Screen is too big. I got stiff neck while playing angry birds.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] b34m3r:
I wish it would let you take pictures while in a phone call.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SealsNavie:
I think the only little issue I have with the Note is that...the Galaxy Nexus looks so much more tasty than the note, especially when I see ICS on the Nexus it looks like I can eat the damn thing and due to its curved screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
The only grouse I have with the Note is that the flipcase which came with the phone is not practical at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naimmkassim:
I wish my Note could charged by it self..sucked power from surrounding etc..that is the only disappoiment for me..the rest is superbombastic!! ^^
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leppo:
Just a few little things:

-front camera image, compared to iPhone, is quite dull (though still fine)

-S Pen apparently not calibrated/no ability to calibrate it: I tend to need to click below a link in order for it to recognize

-need to shutdown phone and take out battery in order to swap uSD card

Despite these, it blows away every other gadget I've ever had. Even my 8 month old laptop barely gets used any more.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] truelies1:
My previous phone also n900, it's really a great phone just like a computer. I am very sorry the dummy CEO discarded the system.

Now I am using iPhone 4s, it's great. Planning to buy a notes as my 5 Inch tablet, sometimes also can use it as a phone. Its screen Better than all tablet's. The bad point for note is it only has one speaker, so we will be mono, and somewhat too big to put it in my pocket, also android software can't keep up with apple's due to low profit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
Known Gripes/Disappointments:

-Difficult to pocket

-Difficult for some to use uno-handed

-Phone is very fast, but not quite fast enough considering the processor

-Android 2.3.5 TouchWizz 4 is good but not great

-No Ubuntu, CM7, CM9, MIUI.4 or ICS available

-Screen becomes purple every once in a while

-Phone gets quite warm and toasty after 30min or more of hard use (Flash Video, Flash Games, HD games)

-The phone holds battery quite well bewteen 100-50% but tends to drain very quickly from 50%-20%

Unmentioned Gripes/Disappointments:

-The edges of the screen don't detect the S Pen

-The vertical edges of the screen are a hit & miss with finger-touch

Update:

-Ubuntu and CM9 are available as betas (should be daily driver within 2 months)

-Update to Android 4.0.2 TouchWizz v5 (or stable AOSP ROMs like CM9/MIUI) should fix the "warming", "lag", "purple screen", and "battery drain" issues.

-The lack of GameGripper/GamePad can be mediated by SIXAXIS and Andraxis Cradle
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xunxun:
There's no notification LED like my Milestone, if I have missing call, message and email, I have to unlock the screen to check.

Invoke a 3rd party program when BT button pressed

I'm quite satisfied with this phone (tablet ;)). Because this phone is so big to keep it in hand (although I have large palms) I thing it is reasonable to keep it in a pocket and use headset. I'm not native english speaker (what surprise :D) I want to use different application for voice dialing (Cyberon Voice Commander). But version of android in my Note (2.3.6) do not allow me to assign different action on pressing BT button. I read a lot of discussions about this topic, but I do not found any solution. So this is why this phone is not flawless for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sarasws:
Enable the first option under 'location and security' in settings. The GPS will be faster.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jarrive:
I hate Samsung!!! On my Note there is no Premium SocialHub, so no push for pop3!! Only S2 has the privilege for it!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
I am pretty sure I read somewhere that if you set up the email app by Samsung for push email then the social hub will show push messages instead of pop 3. I don't use either of them.think I read it on another XDA post.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jarrive:
I tried that. Is not working. Only Samsung SII has the privilege.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] madbird:
yes it's a little disappointing that the flip case only fits 'hardly' with the original desktop station and dont fit anyhow with the samsung car mount. its the first time that i bought original extra parts and not third party stuff for a phone, maybe that was a mistake ;). but aside that it is still the best phone i ever had.
