[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rodrigorajao:
Is it worth the upgrade, considering I paid full price for a SIM-free HD2 about 3 years ago and would be doing the same with the Note now?

Is the Note's screen brighter than the HD2?

How about the weight difference?

Is it possible to read PDFs on the Note? On the HD2 is a bit of a nightmare, as I need to zoom all over the place to read properly.

Does it play Divx out of the box?

Finally, when will the Note get an ICS upgrade? Gingerbread is old news already.

TBH its amazing, the hd2 is an old toy, was good back in the day buts its slow and old! Its 2011 remember!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BruTaL_BeN:
I had an HD2 on T-Mo and I've upgraded to the Galaxy Note and I'll tell you it's the best decision I've ever made! The HD2 was awesome at the time but after using the note for just over a month it makes the HD2 feel a tiny and outdated piece of hardware. Viewing pdf's is so easy on the Note with all the real estate and you'll have no issues with needing to zoom, I regularly view bus and train timetables and at the standard zoom I can read everything without any issues or strain.

The screen is a million times better than the HD2, I can't even describe! I had both devices briefly before I sold my HD2 and everything just looked pixelated in relation, I don't know how I ever used it! The Note is seriously the best piece of tech I've ever had in my pocket. The only thing I can think of that was better on the HD2 is that the sound was better when I plugged it into a set of speakers but otherwise the Note is superior in every way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] romac:
I have used the HD2 since it first came out. I have installed Android and WM7 on it because it is an awsome and flexible phone. I also had a galaxy Tab 7". When I first saw the Galaxy Note it was love at first sight. I have been using it for 2 weeks now, and everyday it gets better. I now use the one device for everything. I recommend the note.

Last two years switching between HD2 and Milestone. I missed sometime hardware keyboard from Milestone or the size of the two phones when i'm in subway or bus ^^ but can you remember me of what phone(s) we are talking now? :p :)

Can't wait to take the train of plane to watch some good stuff on it.

I too, am sooo twitching to get one...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
At the moment of writing this post both my HD2 and GNote are sitting on the table,the HD2 in the craddle,while the GNote waiting hers to arrive from the ebay,

I have been using the Hd2 for the past 2 years,and never thought anything else could replace it its almost as new as day one,its the longest time I have ever stayed with a phone,may be couple of weeks more or less than my first iphone.

Hd2 is the greatest phone I have ever had,Screen,size,camera,built quality,and despite porting the WP7 and Android on it from time to time I remained loyal to WM with CleaNEX custom ROM, since everything I needed I could do on it,it was and still is a great phone,I can go on and on pages about it.

However time goes on and changes come along with it.

I bought my GNote one week ago,and should say that it is by far the better device,the wow factor is awsome,just beware of the Iphone users they could get too hostile when seeing it!!.

When buying the GNote I promised myself that I use the HD2 from time to time,but looks like will not happen.

You can play all kind of videos on it by installing the MXvideo app from the market.Cant be compared to the old Core Player.

Gingerbread is not as bad as you may think it is,though every each one of us are waiting for the ICS,We have two SG tab 10.1 Honeycomb at home cant see much difference.

HD2's sound is much higer after insatlling the SRS WOW HD on it,but samsungs sound quality is unmatched.

I paid $750 for my GNote,for that money did I get the equivalent of more functionality than the HD2 ?hard to say,but should say that I enjoy using it more than keeping the money in the pocket.

I would surely buy again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] afree:
I still have HD2 and have the note since a few days.HD 2 is still a great device.I only upgraded because of broken glass.HD2 is made of better quality parts.best example is the battery cover.HD2:stylish metal, note: extreme thin plastic, almost like paper.

But: the note has a great display and is great and better in technical aspects.I would never change it back.it is a great device.

Well,

Here I am sitting with my HD2 with it's guts out (switching SIMs, microSD...) and the shiny new note getting charged by its side (not switched on yet!). Looks like we HD2 owners love big screens and great performance, right?

But my HD2 is not getting sold, no way! I'm flashing it anew so my mother can have a great phone for many years still!

Got to go (and check howto root/flash new ROMs :D )
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aftabbabar:
i have been using my SGN for close to a week now. I have had HD2 and I liked the phone but got tired of changing roms and wanted a real (native) device. I bought the HTC G2 and liked the fact it had a real keyboard. I am cheap and would not consider paying more them 300 bucks for a nice phone off craigslist. I live in dominican republic and to my shock, SGN was being displayed in the store of "claro" phone company. At first, the phone intimidated me by it's huge size, but when i saw the screen lit up, my jaw dropped. Wow, i mean, wow. This phone is super slim, fast and has a brilliantly lit sharp screen, full of vibrant colors. I just could not get enough of this phone. I went back several times to the store, just to see the phone in the display window. I was almost ready to pay 700 bucks on ebay to order one from hong kong, but i saw an ad on local craigslist type page: samsung galaxy note (new) for 650 bucks. Seems like some guy got one and didn't know what to do with it. he didn't even know how to change the language into spanish. I offered him $560 (US-dollars) and got the phone from him in original box and plastic stickers. All I can say is, I can't seem to get my eyes off this phone. Its the most amazing phone I have ever had in my life. I don't think I can ever go back to a normal 4.3 inch screen phone again. go buy this phone, it will change your life.

3 years on the hd2? Wow that's crazy. I can't make it 6 months on one phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MaidenComesStraighToHell:
hey guy.

now i'll try to give you a feedback too :)

spending most of my time on the htc hd2, flashing around, i have to say it WAS the best phone i have ever had.

a couple of weeks ago my hd2 wasn't the old (there was a mistake) and i startetd to think about a new one.

my hd2 is now okay (repaired again) BUT the note, which i bought 3 weeks ago is amazing. the screen is wow, the size not too big, but big enough for watching movies or play a good round fifa 2000 (psx) :D

its a new age that will be opend for you .. its fast its big it must be yours.

if you have any detaild quastions ask. and i will answer it (or anybody else here in the forum) :))

p.s. buy it !!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] spfraggle:
I had the HD2. Was my daily phone for over a year. My phone was the US T-Mobile version and even when i came back in the UK it was perfect. Runs on the 3g networks here, fully unlocked and hspl unlocked.

In the 8 months since being back in the UK I've had the HTC Sensation and the Galaxy S2. While great phones, i still couldn't say goodbye to the trusted HD2. No matter what, there was and always will be something about that phone. Even by todays standards it was that good. Then came the Note and it's the first device that exited me as the HD2 did. My HD2 has since been donated to a friend but he knows that if he doesn't look after it, I'm having it back. Hell, even the Pocketnow.com website has referred to the HD2 as the beast that just won't die. That's what made it a great phone, what still makes it a great phone.

Do i regret getting the Note? No. Not now, not ever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] myself11:
HTC HD2 was launched in November 2009, not 2008. I have mine since Dec 2009, makes 2 years on 23th of December :-)

Great build quality, timeless design (HTC Titan is the only one I find as classy, it is truly HD2 sucessor) and nice screen for e-reading (I enjoy the low level of brightness it can acheive and the white tone, it doesn't strain my eyes). And, of course, all the epicness of waiting and trying beta builds of Android, WP and now ICS. It's just too damn fun.

But, since 2 years correspond to 10 years in geek time, I'm searching for a new phone to play with. Sensation XL has the perfect size to me, but it's just too damn ugly and has a low res screen for today's standards. What about Galaxy Note? The screen sharpness is amazing, I appreciate the S-Pen feature and 5.3" makes me drooll. But... I can't overcome the fact that quadcore phones with hdmi-out are just around the corner and that I hate touchwiz and Samsung over saturated and "dark" colors. Plus, I fear 5.3" is just a little to big to use as a phone.

If a stock ICS ROM becomes available, I might overlook Note's massive size and buy one 'till Christmas.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adamvanner:
Its not that much faster- the HD2 has a very similar CPU as to those used on some current HTC devices. Ive got both and the GPU is definitely faster on gnote, but the CPU isnt *that* much faster because so few apps or the OS actually use the 2nd core. Its 1.0Ghz vs 1.4Ghz. The big difference is the blacks on the screen which are much much better on the gnote (LCD vs AMOLED). Worth upgrading, for sure, although get used to not having such an amazing choice of ROMs to experiment with!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] myself11:
Could please someone post some images (a video would be superb) comparing Aldiko (or another e-reader) on both devices, so we can check the following itens?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
I used the Cleanex ROM on my HD2 WM 6.5, and honestly should say that it was two times as fast than my GNote,specially when opening the Contacts,also the sound was much louder, I also preferred the camera on the HD2 after tweaking it.

Unfortunately no support for WM and also Android is mostly experimental on it, hence The GNote, which is one amazing device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DPMAce:
I would have kept my HD2 forever, but I lost it at the club. Slipped out of my defender belt clip. That belt clip was designed god awful.

But it forced me to get this beast of a note. Note has much better battery life, and a much bigger screen. Couldn't ask for a better upgrade.

I use my note more than I use my desktop or laptop. Can lay in bed or on the couch and study, read the news, or check my email.

Hd2, the legendary at all time........im still playing around and loaded with jelly bean rom.

Honestly, g.note definetely is worth to upgrade if compare to hd2. But you must be compromise with at least 2 things before to decide what smartphone to be your choice.

1). Screen issue. Worse black clipping issue or colour banding. ( this is the biggest dissapointment for all the fans around the world.) I scare to show my video to my fren, especially at all kind of black or darker background movie. Shame......

2.) Emmc brick bug. Im not sure you know about this or not. But this bug really make us sacred enough. Although a lot of experience user might tell u there has a safer and secure way to avoid this bug when flashing rom or do nandroid. But who can guarantee? Just like the cwm.zip root method, it was using by us for so many months and we all believe it was safe. But after saw dr.ketan post, i do believe nothing is safe for g.note emmc brick bug.

I do believe you like those of us who enjoy to keep changing rom at least once per week since you are from hd2. Why dont you wait for a while and keep your eyes to note 2?.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Not quite. Nexus, Evo, Desire, Droid Incredible etc have a different chip, with an older and significantly worse GPU. Marketing names are - Adreno 200 for their GPU, and Adreno 205 for ours. Our GPU is roughly 4 times faster. We share it with the phones on the same MSM8x55/7x30 base - Desire HD/S/Z, T-Mo G2, Incredible S, and probably some more.

Im sorry the title seems vag, but here is the thing, I wanna know from anyone what the voltage is for the tablet ( Archos A101IT ) and also when its Completly dead does the charge lite come on? If not will the system start its self? Im asking because i can get one almost new without a cord but im afraid to get it because they will not take it back if it doesn't work at all ( asking 150 ) Let me know so i know what to do!

thanks.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scholbert:
Hi super-6-1!

The device could be charged with a standard 5V wall-charger.

Refering to the Archos FAQ, a current of 1A should be sufficient for charging.

You will need special 3.5mm DC adaptor-plug to connect to the device.

Personally, i use an old IPAQ wall charger (5V/2A) and soldered the DC-plug myself. Make sure you use the right polarity.

The device will charge autonomous, even if it is bricked.

So the decision is up to you if you buy it.

On my device there'd been some hardware problem i was able to fix, but i needed professional equipment to do so.

Under normal circumstances the gen8 series are hard to brick, but you never know.

The most common hardware issues are cracked screens :D

My wireless AP is going crazy at my house. Its custom and has some driver problem a Co-worker of mine is looking into.

What happens is the ssid still broadcast, but the AP doesn't pass traffic. On my phone I see the wifi icon and 4G when this happens. If I reset the AP so wifi works again (for another hour) the 4G icon disappears.

Maybe the sgs2 is able to connect, but not able to pass traffic. If you had a static build of netkit ping, it has an option to specify the interface to ping out.

The 4G icon goes away because you would not need the 4G data service if you have a WiFi connection with an active internet connection. It is standard even not for 4G signal, it does that with edge, 3g, and HSPS. I believe it just leaves a standard GPRS connection open with the tower. All to save battery.

I have the flip case.

Pros: Looks good, no bulk

Cons: No protection from the sides or back, nothing holds the cover to protect the screen if dropped. Finally, the glue on the sides starts to wear out, the skin becomes lose with use. I posted a pick of it earlier
