Probably I was not clear in my earlier reply. I didn't mean my pen works without any contact. I meant just like on the videos by thomypc on YouTube you can write on the note by keeping a sheet of paper between the pen and the note. The pressure sensitivity works fine on mine. I can bring up the small round circle shown on the videos by thomypc on YouTube, on my phone as well when using certain apps downloaded from Samsung in certain edit modes.

Just lacking the erase function being on the back of the pen, but can buy alternatives that have this feature.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
at present i have about 318 apps (used to have about 380 at some point). of which 46 can be transferred to sd but have chosen not to transfer them. have about 92 on sd card and 180 on the internal memory. working ok for now and have about 700mb left on internal memory.

at a certain point was getting low memory alerts, that usually happens when you only have 200mb left and phone freezes over at 190mb left.

if you have trouble then do as i have explained in my previous posts. the apps2sd move on this phone is lousy compared to 2y old phones like the htc desire. my htc desire used to work fine on 2.1 till about only 5mb was left and on 2.2 needed 15mb free (but that phone only had 147mb free in the first place for apps so had to upgrade as was fed up of deleting and reinstalling apps just to use the apps i had bought). almost everytimes after installing 100-200 apps the apps 2 sd move feature says failed to move app when i press the move to sd card button the first time but it does move it when i press it again. but wait till it is moved and maybe a second more only then go back to other apps to move them one by one in the same fashion. if you do it too quickly then errors happen in the move for some apps and later phone will start bonking itself in rebootloops that only a battery pull and removing sd card and deletion of all those improperly moved apps will stop the reboot loops. works fine if the sd card is removed even when the improperly moved apps are not deleted. during reboot loops it will not usually allow you to dismount sd card, so will need a battery pull to stop reboot loops.

if you have loads of apps that have been moved to sd card then dont make the mstake of using the auto update feature on the android market because everytimes many apps get autoupdated (with respect to apps that have been moved to sd card and not otherwise) then the reboot loop problem starts due to improper move to sd card. only use the auto update feature for apps that havent been moved to sd card and deselect all apps that have been moved to sd card. this is only an issue when you have many apps and works fine if you have only a few apps. i dont know the exact trigger point at which this problem arises but is very predictable and reproducible event.

For those whom cry about easily pressed volume and power button

In order to prevent any damage to my nice little Note, I have decided to buy a hard plastic cover, in addition the volume and power button are now as hard to press that if its in your pocket it wont get pressed. It was only 10 Euros and you can just order it from Webshops all over the word.

EDIT:

This is the one im using right now:

i really would like to have a calibration system for the S-Pen, because everyone grab a pen in a different way with different inclination. it also requires too much pressure to be felt by the screen.

this is something that is very much disappointing me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Carmageddon1984:
Well, most of the time it works perfect, however sometimes mine has quirks:

Suddenly it starts to draw below the tip, or above it... after a while the problem is gone.

I dont know what causes this behaviour.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PieterPatrick:
Why is the close button where it is, every time I trigger it when I don't want to!

Why is the speaker on the back!?

And the mobile signal display isn't right.

Read about it here somewhere, seems to be a bug.

Nokia N9 White

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clairenix:
Yes. ICS is taking so long. Too much suspense building up. That it just feels so disappointing when we all thought it was going to be released this march 1. Only to find out that they're just about to start.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] monkeydrufy:
Same disappointment here

Ics has been released on december, obviously samsung had it before

and in more than 4 month they are not able to release a valid ics?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dark-k:
I have 4 disappointments with my note :

-it takes too much fingerprints compared to my previous phone (LG Optimus One)

-The power button is misplaced : whenever we want to increase the volume, we also turn on the screen. They should have put it on the top of the phone instead of right in the same axis of the volume buttons.

-The Samsung UI is so slow ! I didn't change anything yet on my note except I rooted it and flashed CWM recovery and the navigation in the phone is a bit laggy.

-I also think the touchscreen doesn't slip well : my fingers doesn't slip smoothly on the screen. The screen seems to be a little adhesive and when I want to scroll a webpage or something, I can't do it smoothly. I have to do a lot of scroll movement.

Although, it's a very good phone and I think I can't come back to a smaller screen. Even when a friend give me his phone to read something, I find it too small !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clairenix:
Clean your phone with something like Rain X atleast once a week. That should give you a temporary oleophobic coating, smooth polished feel and make it germ free for awhile.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Markhypnosis:
The s-pen will NOT scratch the screen. The tip is plastic and the screen is glass. I've had my Note for 3 months, I don't use a screen protector, I use the pen, and have no scratches whatsoever. I don't know what you are doing but I don't see how a plastic tip can scratch glass.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
Only gripe I have with my Note is the fact that Sammy did not (or isnt yet) releasing an Extended OEM Battery.

I would have love to buy an Official Extended Samsung Battery (perhaps with more mAh) to really bring the Note to whenever and wherever I would go (w/o me bringing an external battery pack or charger)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] crawlgsx:
While I like the looks of white better, I wish I had gone with black. The white scratches too easy and scratches show more (back).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dark-k:
By Rain X you mean which product? The glass cleaner on this website : http://www.rainx.com/mobile/products/glassWindshield/glassCleaner.html ? Isn't it a car product? Can we really use it on our phones?

Oils are slightly soluble in rubbing alcohol.

Use a rubbing alcohol 'prep pad'. Works very well for me, once a week or so.

i also agree when you complains about buttons position, they should be located elsewhere to avoid to push right and left side together.

also the speaker should be placed on the bottom (or on the top), not on the rear side.

I am not satisfied with the battery, small use will need to charge each day. I don't think four core is necessary to a phone until the battery can reach 5000mah.

coming from SGS2 to the note

my biggest disappointment with the note after having used the SGS2 close to half a year before the note is the general feeling of lag that is experienced pretty much everywhr including the custom launchers or even stock applications including the gallery.Not sure what they did wrong here with the note when the hit bulls eye with the SGS2.surely an addition of the pixel area should not be a big enuf factor to say that everything will be laggy due to this ,,,,

I had the orignal SGS before the SGS2 and i could see an incremental improvement thr in pretty much all different factors including the smoothness factor ,,

that is somehow missed in the note .......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clairenix:

clock on stock home screen can't set alarms

Pressing the clock icon on my old HTC desire could take me into clock menu where I could set the alarm. But pressing it on the stock note does nothing. I have to have a separate clock widget to be able to do that. So now have the crap old fashioned clock icon to set alarms and also have the stock digital clock that comes with factory installed home screen that can't set alarms. Also when alarms go off one needs to press home button to wake screen up before one can disable alarms. Ridiculous when it should automatically show alarm on screen when alarm goes off.

Phone is laggy when filled with apps. Good screen let down by lags, buggy USB OTG and buggy apps to sd move when having many apps. Expensive buy but will upgrade to something less buggy when launched. But can't down grade to a smaller screen after the note though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
I have no real issue with the Note. I came from the Atrix and absolutely love the Note. Only "complaint" is I didn't know the GT version wasn't LTE. I'm on AT&T network. They wont get it here where I am anytime soon, but that would've been nice. But I heard this chipset is better than the AT&T model anyways.

i was a hardcore apple fanboy once.....ive been using iphone since the first gen up till iphone 4..and i keep on telling my self that i wont convert to any device other than apple...i was glued to IOS for many years...

couple of weeks back i drop my iphone..for the 3rd time..and it was bad...screen broke...from that point of time..i had enough....i made my leap jump to Samsung Galaxy Note, running on android...i was being screwed with some of my friends regarding me jumping from IOS to Note....

and to be honest guys...i never regret getting this note...infact, i sold my ipad 2 to get this galaxy note.....at first i was having some issues, as i do not understand how android works..but after a while....i am loving it.....

Steve, if you hear me this, i am sorry i changed to android on your birthday last 2 weeks!.....whatever it is, i will still follow the news of IOS!.....rest in peace....

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chadie:
Its just a little bit too big from what I'am used to (bb 9780) and its hard to use it with only one hand. There are often times I wished I had a smaller screen.

I also wished the power button was somewhere in the middle of the right as I'd have to move my whole hand higher to unlock/lock the phone.

A little bit louder speakers :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] garytube:
Turn on silent mode. otherwise you need a hacked camera app.

My biggest disappointment is that the luncher reloads every time i unlock my note. That should not happen with so much RAM

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Iron Doktor:
Just one... lack of a notification LED. It might seem small, but I find this incredibly annoying. I love the Note in every other way, size, speed, battery life etc... but not having a notification LED was a stupid decision by Samsung IMHO.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
phone call gets disconnected when navigation voice comes on

When using google navigation, if you receive a call and accept it via Bluetooth car stereo, during your call if the navigation voice comes on with the next instruction then voice call gets disconnected automatically which is annoying. Normally only voice of phone call comes through to car stereo but when navigation voice comes during call then navigation voice comes through automatically till voice call gets cut off then navigation voice stops coming through cart stretto as well. Got a Toyota official factory installed car stereo with navigation module and Toyota phone Bluetooth set.

Prefer the note navigation instead of the Toyota one but calls get cut off when navigation voice comes through car stereo.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chadie:
Most likely so that we will buy the next generation of the note with LED.

Having to constantly power-on the whole 5"3 screen just to check if we have any new notification will definitely have a toll on the battery. Having a LED like in the blackberries will definitely solve that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
Think you can use the app called "no LED" as a solution to your problem. I haven't tried the app but have read that it acts like an led via screen. Check it out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
I guess no LED app is the way to go if you need a notification /alert that will notify you for any email/text messages on your phone...

Only drawback I can surmise on having one... is that It will increase the wakelocks of your phone and thereby increasing your battery drain over time.... (since I believe this app runs all the time at the background together with your sync emails and etc..)

Moved from iPhone 4S which I really loved, except the smallish screen size. The Note is fun to play with. Just wish the battery would last. Seems to drain very quickly when browsing, or playing games
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
Gavin, read your review of the note after moving from the iPhone on your website.

You might find useful the videos on YouTube by James Harrison / think he is called cold fusion on YouTube. See another video of his linked here on XDA in the general section for the note titled multitasking or something like that, it should show up in the first few pages of posts.

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

Would like to be able to take a picture on the camera app by long pressing anywhere on the screen like I could on my previous HTC phone but on the note pressing just focuses and one needs to hit the on screen button which is tricky doing one handed if you are carrying a child with the other hand. All features of the phone should be enabled for one handed operation if possible. Surely this is possible for the camera and video camera apps as others like HTC provide this on their Android phones. At present only allows focusing or zooming in camera and video on the screen.

Text realignment isn't as good as my old HTC desire which was great when zooming webpages.

Also a S-memo seems to save only to internal memory. I have about 9 GB left on my card but smemo app keeps saying low memory and to delete some notes, probably because I have one about 230MB left in the memory for apps. But do have quite a bit left memory left on the internal USB memory apart from having more memory on card. Lousy memory management for smemo app

edit: looks like the smemo saves to internal usb memory only and my usb internal memory was full. there is no option to save to sd card. i got the alert about low memory when i was shooting some videos with my daughter at a theme park then automatically got a notification that it was being saved to sd card. but the same does not apply for smemo which just doesnt have an option to save to sd card and only saves to usb internal memory. hope this changes with the ICS update but not holding my breath

samsung seems to have made some attempt tp make the widgets look like the others on android but there is a goof up. if you see the other android widgets on the note, the names are written at the bottom of the icon. i had written about this issue earlier in this thread that the torch widget among others have the name written at the top so looks odd when placed with other widgets with their name at the bottom of the icon.

with the new update if you long press on the screen and choose add widget and then scroll through them you get the torch widget but they have made a change so that the torch word appears at the bottom of the icon in the list of widgets. But there is a goof up and when you select that torch icon, the old widget with torch written at the top of the icon comes back again. so although they have made an attempt to harmonise the look of the widgets some one has goofed up at the end. and still looks the same.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] razorhanny:
Yes I do!

Mey Galaxy Note screen got 2 little hairline scratches!

I don't know how, because It's always on it's own pocket and I've never dropped it...

I can only concur that even cleaning the tip of the spen everytime I'm going to use it, somehow a very small hard particle, hanging in the screen was dragged by the hard tip of the spen!

Now my note Is protected, both with a transparent hard slim plastic case, and with a transparent screen protector!

I wish I knew it on the moment I bought the note, that Gorilla Glass would scratch and I should've protected the moment I got it out from the store!

After a month with the note (coming from an iphone4, which is still my main phone), the only thing that annoys me is the battery life. I like to play games, and some games like Real Racing 2 (which looks amazing on the big screen), drains the battery in about 2 hours. I have 5 batteries for the note, and I think I spend more time rebooting it to change batteries than actually using the thing.

Other than that I love it. The only time I ever pick up my iphone is when I get a call now.
