[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mancuk29:
I jumped from ios iphone 4s to the galaxy nexus but there are too many bugs and also dropping signal / internet on 3uk .. so its being returned back to amazon and ive just ordered the note cant wait

firstly missed android got sick of the locked down itunes and apple software

whilst i loved the nexus im hoping for better luck with the note .

the nexus was ok but there is no memory card and i had to format the phone 3 times which also means i lose everything in its memory cos its all in the same place

the software was also extreemly buggy and prone to crashes ...

i am very excited about the note .. love the size, the screen quality and also the stable firmware ... and its also good that ics will arrive this year .. hopefully by then more apps will work with it

ill give my full feedback on tuesday but another iphone widow cant wait for this monster device :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] toofank:
There are. Im one. I went over to Note from Iphone4. Had Iphone 3gs before that. Iphones 4 or 4S dont even come close to Notes capabilities.

I live in a country with the highest penetration of iPhone users in the world. :mad::rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jay-Taicho:
I too am one!

This is my very first Android device and I LOVE it! I've had iPhones since the 3G came out and didn't want to upgrade to the 4S, so sold my iPhone 4 and bought the Note.

To be honest though, my initial impressions of the Android OS wasn't great. But it's slowly growing on me. Looking forward to ICS.

Hope I don't get hated on, but a jailbroken iOS5 running on the Note would be the PERFECT phone!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Livewings:
I would be the first one to hate you, but I understand you.

It takes time to transition to Android.

Once you get used to Android, you will never go back. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] slaydog:
I came to Android from Windows Mobile 6, and hated at first. Now I would never think to change to anything but.

The thing about Android you quickly learn is that if you don't like something you can usually change it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jay-Taicho:
I'm sure it will grow on me. I love the fact you can easily customize the UI. Was addicted to customizing on the iPhone. Created and changed my theme for the iPhone every other day.

Sounds stupid, but I used to have an Android theme running on my iPhone, and now I've noticed quite a few iPhone themes in the Market. Can't help myself, but I'm gonna slap one on and see what it looks like :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hackerboi:
From 3G > 3GS > I4 now a Galaxy Note. The white is proper white, unlike iPhone4 White which turns yellowish... and the UI is very different and customisable. My iphone was jailbroken and modded but it was never close to the android ui. The Speed on the android is awesome too.

love browsing on the Note's screen.

Most of my peers are moving on to Android, SGS2 being the favourite even the SE ARC S is awesome.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gothvell:
Welcome to all ex-iPhone users! Hope you will enjoy the very android Freedom! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mfractal:
Same here. Was a user since 3gs, then iphone 4, sold it and bought the note. Never looked back! :-)

Unless apple comes up with a super sleek iphone 5 with 5 inch screen and ios6 that is as customizable as android, I doubt I will ever go back to apple.

I keep reading the title of this thread as 'Migraine from an iPhone' :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
I think a large portion of the speed of iOS is due to the Standardized hardware of the iOS devices. So your sentence there is somewhat of a contradiction, interestingly enough.. It will be interesting to see if Apple does increase the size or resolution of the next iphone.

It's surprising to me that the OP thinks the note is faster than the iphone - it shouldn't be nearly as tuned... With ICS it might give it a run for it's money though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mofetudo:
Another user of iphone, welcome. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hackerboi:
iPhone is fast but once jailbroken and loaded with notification bar tweaks it does lag here n there. Plus the UI is ancient now and the screen is way too small for browsing, gaming and movies.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] frushtuk1:
Hi,

Same thing for me: iphone 2g, 3g and 4. I just sold my Iphone 4 and bought the Note.

I love it !!!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] valtersboze:
3g > 3Gs > Note (bought on 7 Jan)

Will never look back :D omg, why i was waiting so long? ok maybe sgs2 wasnt a big upgrade from iphone, but Note!!!! its the 3rd day and my eyes are sparkling everytime i use it :D

ive been doing a lot of modifications via jailbreaking iphone, but it was never good enough. and when ios update comes i had to start everything again and wait till devs update their jailbroken utilities etc..

--

1) one turnoff is the sound quality. Note (and sgs2 as ive learned) has terrible sound. Can it be improved if I use bluetooth headset ? do bluetooth devices have their own DACs inside?

2) i found that app called "voodoo louder" can make the note volume higher at least, but it requires rooting. i have not learned the process and safety and keeping it stock because i dont want to lose warranty, at least not for the first month(s) :rolleyes:

--

i wouldnt suggest Note to mainstream users though, its for IT crowd mostly. but while there are flaws (screen, sound), i will never return to IOS !! NEVER!!

Is there a way to change the default screen orientation on CM7? I would like the cables to be on the top so I can stand the device on end for non-landscape apps like spotify.

That does work and that's what I'm using currently but the lockscreen is upside down, any way to fix that?

Not that I know of using the stock lockscreen, but Widget Locker works. You do have to pay for that though, but it is a great lockscreen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sqeet:
I have an I9000GSMH on Vodafone, from Spain. I'm just having a hard time figuring out which version of the firmware I need to install on the phone to get it to the latest stock. Can someone tell me specifically which software version I need?

**EDIT**

I have decent experience with rooting HTC phones. But, my own personal device was an Evo 4G. A popular enough phone that there was loads of simple information written about rooting the devices.

This isn't really a newbie question. It's just the samsung rooting/flashing process is very different from HTC. I've tried to figure this out on my own, but the last firmware I tried to flash on the phone via Odin has resulted in a boot loop. Now, I'm just reaching out to hopefully a more knowledgeable source for the information I seek. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

I would steer away from these matte protectors as they generally degrade screen quality of high ppi screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xeene:
there is pro and con to every screen protector. just have to pick your poison.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berz:
im using matte , worst desion ever , MATTE KILLS THE SUPERAMOLED screen :@

the i got was about 4 dollars is a perfect fit but i hate it , i hate it with passion feel like ripping it out by the one i bought should reach me anytime so ill be patient till then :(

i dont mind finger prings u can wipe them off but matte just makes ur screen look dull and awful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mech_egr:
Consider a Zagg screen cover. Idk if they make them for GN yet, but I had one for my incredible and loved it. It was a bit pricier, but screen showed through great, it was fingerprint resistant, and is guarenteed to be replaced if it punctures or what now. Its also a softer material so in my experience it didn't scratch at all.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
http://www.androidauthority.com/att-galaxy-note-confirmed-42585/ there it is too. And theres no lte icon! Yes there is hope. It seems like an h+ icon. Anyone confirm? Or someone there lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vileofmsz:
I really hope so! I've been thinking about buying the international version, because I want exynos
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
For me it would be fine if ut had the s3, but it would have to ship with ics. Without ics, the s3 will suck, with not as much android developers wanting a 2.3 device when most phones coming out with ics in a month.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] emcnelly:
Awesome! Got my fingers crossed! And I agree s3 with ICS wouldn't be bad at all. Though a 4212 with LTE and ICS would be nice... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
Ooohhhh yea. Ics idea is far out, but still its a possibility.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] emcnelly:
Haha yeah just a bit. One can only hope. :rolleyes: But hopefully all the info on it will come tomorrow. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
Ill be at school checking haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] stealth110:
That's good AT&T is getting it but I think I'll give up LTE for the physical button. And I'm sure they'll cut corners where they can and leave something out like usual.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
They may leave something out, but with their latest phones theyve actually been smart. And we still have no confirmation if it is lte, but it def will not have the button. Too bad, the button looks cool. I just hope it has the exynos somehow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mcatt66:
looks like it has 4 control buttons on the bottom . . .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Braxos:
They need/want a hard one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
Whow man lol just kidding. I necissarily (sorry typing fast) dont care, i just want either ics or the exynos lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] emcnelly:
Exactly no one will really care all that much if it has a physical button or not. Yes it defintely looks cool and I'd honestly prefer it but the search button is nice in some cases each way I'm sure has an advantage. As for me it also boils down to hoping for ICS and exynos. Though I'm getting the phone regardless of what's in it I want the note because of what it does and being somewhat unique.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vileofmsz:
Would ICS fix the lag that the S3 is supposedly to have during games and such? Sorry I've been researching betwen the OGs2 and the skyrocket and everyone seems to say the ogs2 is better because of the lag on the skyrocket and worse performance in gaming.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] emcnelly:
From what I've noticed on my captivate it has given a performance boost and is way smoother than GB. Also while the S3 is slightly slower then the exynos the true difference in speed is a lot of the time exaggerated. I believe with ICS it'll be amazing but even just GB S3 performance will be fine and hopefully an update will roll out quickly. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maxh:
Actually many people will care a lot that it doesn't have a physical home button. I won't be getting one because of that (unless they somehow manage to implement LTE without losing the Exynos processor) because it is SOOO much easier to wake the phone with a physical home button than to hunt for the power button on the side, then push the power button and half the time the volume goes up or down since the dumbasses put the volume rocker directly opposite it. I have an app that puts a power-off in the notification menu, btw.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macwilson:
I don't blame you. The design is screwed up with the placement of the power button.

It would be a HUGE mistake. Only people who have used these know. You would not believe how hard it is to used that side button. Not only that, but it's placement makes its IMPOSSIBLE to use without hitting the volume button.

I'm not sure if I can deal with this. Maybe, maybe not. But I can tell you this for sure:

All HELL will break loose if this is the case, after people realize what the issue is. THis forum is going to be crazy with complaints.

But this phone is better than anything if you use the s-pen. I mean, WAY better than anything. It's like a mini Tablet-PC. It's gotta be the coolest and well designed gadget this year...really. If they nix the button it's ATT's fault, and not Samsung's design.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
That's an objective design flaw I hadn't considered. Bummer...

You may already know this, but there are apps that allow you to turn off the screen with a long press of a capacitive button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Hank K:
What is the app that someone has to do a power off from the notification menu. I totally agree that having to power off from the side is a pain and I am always changing the volume.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] The Jack of Clubs:

[00:26:48] <TheJackofClubs> i think att modded the radio to prefer gprs over wcdma on command

[00:27:34] <drowningchild> or going by imei forcing the towers to look for it forcing you to that speed?

who knows but it seems to solve the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
Exactly how much did/do you use? I don't have a lot of sympathy for data hogs. But if they nailed you in error, that's not cool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DeRock13:
It actually depends on your area and the people who use it around you. I've read some people getting nailed for only 2GB, others at 5.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
throttled in Houston at 1.7 GB? Let's see a screen shot of your text from ATT...wonder if you watched Netflix or something for all that data in like a day or so...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Croak:
I've got a Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE that has the same SoC as the Skyrocket and upcoming AT&T Note. Can't really compare apples to apples, or Gingerbread to Honeycomb for a lot of things, but I can tell you that:

It does much much much better with Honeycomb 3.2 @1280x800 than my previous Tegra 2 Tab 10.1. And with the bigger surface area, it seems to handle heat better than the Skyrocket/Hercules, because it can be overclocked as high as 1.94GHz.

Clocked like that, I get consistent 7500+ AnTuTu scores. That's just a hair behind my Note at 1.7GHz.

So no, the MSM8660 with Adreno 220 doesn't suck...its right on par with the TI OMAP in the Galaxy Nexus, and only gives up some GPU performance to Exynos/Mali 400 (and not in everything).

It also plays any media file I've been able to throw at it without issue.

While I don't have nearly as much seat time, I went and looked at (and came real close to buying but talked myself out of it) a Tab 7.7 3G today.

Same resolution as my 8.9, same Honeycomb version, but Exynos powered. Couldn't "feel" a difference in speed...really, no BS.

TL;DR Qualcomm has come a LONG way in the last year. I used to be a hater too, it was only my greater hatred of Tegra 2 that drove me to the S3, and I'm quite happy with the product. Those of you coming from HTC devices and the craptastic first and second gen Snapdragons will be pleasantly surprised at how much better the S3 is, as will those of you that might be coming from a Tegra 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] boxerlover02:
I feel the need to chime in on this one. I am a data hog and proud of it. I got the unlimited plan for a reason BECAUSE I USE A LOT OF DATA. Not for me to have them say down the road ohh you can't use that much anymore. That would be like you going to lease a car and sign a contract for so many miles and then in the middle of that lease the lower it and charge you out the a$$ for the miles YOU PAY FOR TO HAVE. ITS WRONG AND SHOULD BE DEALT WITH IN A COURT ROOM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ericshmerick:
Holy cow. Warning at 1.7gb? That's outrageous.

AT&T needs to go to hell with their scare tactics. They chose to grandfather unlimited users in at unlimited. Now they are crying when we use 1.7 gigs???

If you used 13gigs and got a text, I actually support ATT. That's abuse. Nothing under 5 should even be looked at.

Screw this "Top 5%" moving target BS. They need a lawsuit to force them to be more transparent. None of this "surprise! gotchya" treatment of it's grandfathered users.

What they should do is release records from the "Top 5%" showing actual data usages. That way, at least we have a guideline.

But 1.7 gigs? That makes me sick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HarmonyFlame:
Pleased to hear this. I had nothing short of high hopes for the s3 chip in a Samsung device anyway though.

What alot of people have to realize is the optimization that goes along with a chipset is far more important than just the chip. Its not like were talking windows here where we just slap parts together and talk specs. Its alot more important in android for manufacturers to get their hands dirty (something motorola and htc needs to figure out). And out of all manufacturers, samsung does the best optimization (I.e. OMAP in the Gnex, s3 in Gtabs, ect.)

Also in all fairness, the s2 chipset is pretty badass tbh. Only the o.g. snapdragon really "sucks".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
Why all the threads acting like ATT owns anyone anything? They can say whatever they want to you. You can either take it, or take your business elsewhere. Every business reserves the right to adjust their product and or refuse service. You can do the same with your business if you take the risk to start one. Show me where the CONTRACT you speak of says they cannot decrease the speed in which you get you unlimited data? They have not stopped anyone's data.

Not an apologist for ATT, but just tired of the same ole rehash every other thread, like ATT owes anyone anything. They are a business, stop acting surprised that they want to maximize their profit. They have a product which you can buy, they have the right to adjust their product anyway they see fit. Where are in the USA right? Just as you all have the right to go to another carrier.

So I have said my piece, and will not chime in again on the 40 or so threads discussing this...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DeRock13:
While I agree, I still think it's bad form. I upgraded from	a 3g iPhone to a Captivate. At the time I was told I could not keep my Unlimited Data. Found out 6 months later that I was lied to and started a fight with them to get it back. I don't use 10GB a month, but I sure as hell don't think my speed should be cut because I live in an area where most people don't have unlimited anymore, if they ever did. Unlimited is not truly unlimited if they cap speeds. That's why I won't renew my contract. My current contract does not allow them to cap me. Sign a new one and that language is in there. If they do cap me, I can bounce to a better option without paying ETF because they are in violation of their own contract. It's not like I haven't been with them since 2002.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
Good point. They can control us, they have the power over us. Too bad each carrier has something very wrong with each one. I used to want to be on verizon, but seriously now thinking att is not a powerhouse now, but they are putting themselves in the perfect spot to pass everyone very soon (especially in this 4g aspect, really nice). Their customer support is becoming way better, at least in colorado anyway. I used to hate att, but now im realizing it seems like they do not care about us right now, but if you wait they are trying to make themselves the best carrier, and the best to be with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] The Jack of Clubs:
it doesnt say usage on the text. but i can check the account and they say i havent used that much data. and yes, i added that contact like that...

i think whats happening is they started throttling in october. once they throttle the top 5% of users, they are no longer the top 5%. next is top 5-10%, then with them out of the way its top 10-15% and so on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DeRock13:
They shouldn't throttle anyone under the max usage they currently offer on a plan though. Now it's going up to 3GB so no one should be throttled before 3GB.
