Wasnt it two days ago that people were praising att for having so many galaxy options
[General Questions and Answers] drzplaya1121:
i'll legitimiately be upset if all it has is a better screen. That's all this phone needs
[General Questions and Answers] tigerz0202:
Yeah people will find something to ***** about
[General Questions and Answers] chib1panda:
Lol. Havent you guys ever noticed art and tmobile always get similar counterparts as far as phones go. Don't know why people complain and say they get more. We got amaze and they got rezound. They get this new HD and we get blaze. They have similar bbs and other phones. Just throwing out my perspective. Oh and stop *****ing and just don't buy it. Don't people keep phones for more than a year now.
[General Questions and Answers] zander145:
I just got this phone 2 days ago... And now their is a better one coming out soon?...
[General Questions and Answers] aNYthing24:
The most puzzling thing is that it has the same specs as the T-Mobile Galaxy SII, but is branded as a Galaxy S device.
[General Questions and Answers] chib1panda:
I'm sorry but as valid as these responses get thus is ridiculous. Just return the phone and wait if it bothers you so much. This phone prob won't be out for another six months. By then when you buy it some "better" phone will be announced. What are you hoping to buy that is future proof?
[General Questions and Answers] tigerz0202:
If its not getting ICS then there is no reason to buy this phone ,im not buying another phone and still be waiting for ICS that would be just stupid
[General Questions and Answers] chib1panda:
+1 thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] ThC23:
Yeah, this one should come with ICS since there is no Nexus yet, but of course it won't.

Like previous post it has the same specs, but this one will probably have an HD screen on it. #lame

I doubt this will be out in six months, I'm guessing Feb/March.

[General Questions and Answers] ArcticWolf91:
It seems to me like this is a dumbed down version of the GSII. First of all they are calling it a "Galaxy S" instead of Galaxy S II, and the screen is called "Super Amoled", but not Super Amoled Plus or HD.
[General Questions and Answers] tigerz0202:
i just hope this isnt what T-mobile is getting instead of SGS3, that will be my next phone even if i have to buy it un-locked, the Nexus has ICS but comes with so many fails in my eyes , not enough for me to sell my SGS2 and get one
[General Questions and Answers] cashyftw:
lol first the skyrocket HD now this? What the hell is going on, there's like 10 galaxys out..
[General Questions and Answers] cashyftw:
Yeah, the next phone i get will be original. As in the original sgs3, or nexus 4, I'm done dealing with upgrades etc.

Galaxy s fever!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] foreverloco:
Samsung probably figured out how to fix our screen issues with the lines and blotches and decided that instead of admitting fault and having to fix all the sold phones with the issue they could just release a new model with no issues and a better res to make money instead of losing it... guess ill probably wait for the galaxy s3 hd blaze... :p n this whole galaxy fiasco is starting to remind me of the iphone adding a letter or number to the end without really even upgrading anything in the phone
[General Questions and Answers] quest4fire:
I dont get why people are upset.New phones come out every 6 to 12 months. No phone is future proof. Even the Galaxy Nexus will be outdated soon when other models are released with ICS.
[General Questions and Answers] :
That was my point exactly. I am planning on keeping my phone until iit dies or I can no longer get a warranty because they don't make it any more. I realized how sucked in I could get into this phone stuff and had to step back and look at it from a different perspective. Also I don't find it reasonable, at least for me , to fork out 500+ dollars everutine a new phone comes out. Even if I sell my current one and use that money money is still wasted. Consistensy is good in life.
[General Questions and Answers] darkside79:
Oh wow. Just got this phone like 3 weeks ago and now it's old news. Reminds of getting the Vibrant then a month later they come out with the same dam device but fix the gps issue and add 4g modem. Dam you to hell! Spent $300 on something thats already a dead horse!

The only concern I have is that we'll end up not getting ICS or some other future update because of this. As long as they don't stop updating us in a rouse to make us buy a "better" device, I'm indifferent about the Blaze. Higher res just means more pixels for the gpu to have to push.
[General Questions and Answers] jonathan3579:
Oh this phone will definitely get the update. They will do their best to not lose (more) customers. I am trying to decide whether to keep this phone or not now that i have the nexus. :(
[General Questions and Answers] jessejames111981:
why does everyone assume this is a 720p phone? I hope it is. If it has a bigger screen with 720p I'll get it. Why? Because I stuck my wife with a dumbphone and she is bugging the **** out of me for my gsII so I have just been waiting for something better, even slightly than my gsII. Wait for the gsIII? I'll pry buy one next year. I'm not going to buy one for $700 unlocked and by the time it comes to the US it will be fall/winter
[General Questions and Answers] jRi0T68:
I had a Vibrant. I loved that phone and now my son is loving it, I just am a, little leery that support could end abruptly.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Because this phone has the exact same specs as our phone. So if it doesn't have a 720p screen the biggest scam ever.
[General Questions and Answers] jessejames111981:
This is a phone that, like all phones will be old news in 6 months. I consider banks giving mortgages to people they know can't afford them a much bigger scam.
[General Questions and Answers] g1user101:
why u guys hating on the phone already? the full specs arent even released yet. for all you know, it could be quad core or 1080p screen. ha.
[General Questions and Answers] ThC23:
Early specs show that its a twin of ours.

My disappointed is that it wont be a phone with ICS. That's all.

Powered by the SGSII....
[General Questions and Answers] jessejames111981:
twin? with the released specs the same there has to be some difference. Super Amoled (not HD) means i doubt its 720p. I assume the difference is this is a mini version of our phone for people who want a high end spec phone without the beefy size that comes with a 4.5 screen
[General Questions and Answers] ThC23:
Twin! Meaning the same as ours(specs), like you said maybe a smaller version that's all.

[General Questions and Answers] AllGamer:
my guess, is just another incarnation of SGS2 Skyrocket HD but without the LTE radio

so basically the current T989 v2.0 with a 720 screen and nothing else different

not worth the upgrade if you ask me
[General Questions and Answers] jonathan3579:
Has anyone else noticed aside from the GS2 look it also considerably favors the Exhibit 2? I think it's just a middle-of-the-road device for people who want a GS2-like experience but ***** about the size. I thought this might be the updated 720p screen but not anymore...
[General Questions and Answers] obedv:
that so cool

I sold my note to wait for the Att version and my reason was for lost or stolen purposes or if my phone has a malfunction. Anybody else feel this way. Also I have person experiences with this issue also
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] planoman:
I would not sell mine to to replace it with the ATT version. I will wait to see what the ATT version brings to the table. LTE, Battery Life, Bloat etc. Might want to keep my current G Note in the family if I was to get the ATT version.

If anything I might sell my skyrocket! If I had a LTE GNote with better battery life, cannot really see a need for the skyrocket.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] beestee:
I simply got a safeware warranty in the US to cover accidental damage and theft...and a nice leather case to avoid having to use that plan.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sirrdeezy:
From wat I'm hearing it will gave lte and I'm not concerned with the bloatware ima rom it up when I get it I just don't wanna go through the hassle asurion and Att are so much easier and the Att logo won't bother me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ericshmerick:
Never needed insurance or warranty on over 15 smartphones over a 10 year period.

No AT&T lack of center button (wake) and bloatware + slow updates for me.

International unlocked in a good case is all I need and will go forward with. I wouldn't put it past AT&T to develop some sort of "hybrid" data plan for the Note since it will creep into their tablet sales. No thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sirrdeezy:
Ima switch the imei so they won't know I have a galaxy tab I b using with Att and all I did was switch the imei numbers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] davidusr:
I'm not finding the Note as an option on Safewares site.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sirrdeezy:
I wouldn't trust none of them sites I had insurance on mine them insurance companies use certain vendors and if they ain't got the note they gonna make u get something else
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] planoman:
Here is a speed test from my skyrocket taken a while back. LTE is FAST! Battery life suffers but even with an unlimited LTE plan, ATT can still throttle your speeds and has done it to those that pass 5GB. Like I said above if I did get the ATT GNote, I would sell my skyrocket. One of each version GNote would be sweet! lol!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ericshmerick:
OMGITZFAST!11

I agree. 5 down is plenty fast for anything mobile - slingbox, netflix, streaming music, etc.

LTE is sexy because of speed tests. If you tether and download torrents or .iso's, then I see the point. For the known battery tradeoffs, however, I'm not sold.

If I was on Verizon I'd like it for simultaneous voice/data...but as GSM users, we already have that.

Not one reason why I NEED LTE on a phone since I don't tether.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] planoman:
+1 agree. LTE is a nice to have not a need to have. Luckily we have it in DFW and many cities in Texas have it. I have had it since Nov 6, 2011 and honestly it is not a deal breaker not to have it. I switch between my skyrocket and GNote about weekly and I find myself not wanting to switch from the GNote even though it is HSPA+. Having said that, I believe the battery on the GNote will easily last a day with LTE and having a GNote with LTE could be cool although you would probably stream more and then get throttled lol!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sirrdeezy:
That's fast but what I'm saying is don't trust them companies they not gonna wanna fork over that money for a note cause most likely there vendors won't carry it but I feel ya both can't hurt
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dwboston:
Same here on the Safeware warranty.

GALAXY NOTE
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] planoman:
LTE does have worst battery life than HSPA+, no question about that! I will be waiting to see the battery life on the LTE version before doing anything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sirrdeezy:
I'm jus going with simplicity in my life if mine is lost or stolen Ima call asurion and have mine next day shipping also when u get it from a carrier u can go protect cell for cheap and get unlimited claims for a yr or 2yrs. I have had a experience with these unlocked phones that don't come from a carrier and I jus kno I'm my opinion its easier to jus get it from a carrier also there nothin a extended battery or a custom rom can't fix cause u kno they will have some of those also
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Oh HELL NO!!! Seriously, you really ought to read this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sirrdeezy:
I read it but I haven't had that problem I have been using my tab about a yr I changed the imei numbers so it shows as a unlocked phone if they do that wit the note I can always go back but if they don't then its all good only time will tell but I think they will keep the phone capabilities
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
NOPE.

Don't want att bloatware.

Don't want snapdragon.

Don't want physical home button gone.

Don't want LTE since it will just make you hit your data cap much faster.

I'll stick with my international unlocked unbranded note thank you very much.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sirrdeezy:
i dont see the note as an option how did you get the insurance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sirrdeezy:
There's no safeware insurance on the note I called them and u can't get it also called many others I will just wait for the Att version
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
I'm guessing you did an /efs wipe? I actually tried that myself, but then the device stopped picking up 3G signal in certain areas, even in areas where there was full 3G signal.

Bought the international Tab, with in-tact IMEI, and 3G worked again.

Unlocked = better.

Yep pretty much what he said! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DJ_smooth:
I did exactly the opposite. I had money set aside for a new phone since Christmas and I held off and waited until CES to see if the ATT note was going to bring anything special to the table. Nope. Worse battery, no physical button for wake, slower update, and bloatware. So now an International note is on a UPS truck to me.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sims0268:
Im going to keep my unlocked EU version. I know for a fact I will get the ICS update faster that way than with dealing with AT&T holding back the update to install there company bloatware, or restrictions.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] beestee:
There IS safeware insurance, and you CAN get it for the note. Don't know if you talked to the wrong person, or maybe didn't know how to ask, or if you even actually called at all, but there is a difference between the facts and your statement.

I have paperwork that I recieved from safeware since getting the plan that clearly states the model as "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000" and even including my serial number. They had ample opportunity to reject my application if in fact "u can't get it."

My application for coverage on a "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000" was accepted, up to $700 coverage, and if they can't fix/replace it themselves for less than my coverage amount, they cut me a check to go get my own replacement at that coverage amount.

Safeware only offers smartphone coverage on subsidised devices, and a very limited few at that, but they will cover any tablet. The safeware tablet option works perfectly for an unsubsidised note since it is available to purchase in the US through ebay, amazon and others and technically the note qualifies as a tablet.

Others have called SquareTrade and despite not easily being able to cover the device through the online application, were able to call and get covered that way.

I don't know where the break is in the information that you have, but it is inaccurate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sirrdeezy:
When u called what did u ask for cause I called them and the lady said if its not on our website we don't insure it cause I'm thinkin of getting the white note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] beestee:
It can be done online if you choose Tablet instead of Smartphone. When you do this, a sub-list does not pop up in which to choose the device from, so you must manually input the information for the device into the application and then wait for your application to be approved. You must have the device serial number on hand to provide it in the application.

This is what I did, and my insurance was approved with signed forms sent to me within one day. 3 years of ADH and Theft (not loss) coverage for $160 and $0 deductible.

If you must call them, state that you would like to insure a tablet rather than a smartphone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sirrdeezy:
Thanks for that I jus ordered my white note that's what ima do
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] beestee:
No problem. Enjoy your middle-man-free updates, especially with ICS on the way!

And just to state it again since you might not have seen my edit, be sure to specify that you want to insure a tablet if you do call, rather than a smartphone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sirrdeezy:
I will do that also I had the black notw which I jus sold now I'm getting the white one

So what are the cons of switching?

oh man... im such a noob to these things

can someone in toronto (mississauga / brampton) do this for me?

ill pay you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
There is no point to doing this. All ICS builds are ICS. Not everyone on yakju gets their updates faster than people on yakjuux. You will not magically get the 4.0.2 update just by doing this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subxero123:
this is exactly what i was thinking right now...

how much longer does samsung take?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1Speed:
"Androind Updating" after changing to yakju

Using the USB drivers and Firmware from the Samsung Germany website I went from yakjuzs (Hong Kong) to yakju.

After doing this, I powered off my phone, and powered it back on.

After the Google Logo and Animation, I get a message box that says "Android Updating...". after short period of time (under 2s) at the bottom of the screen it says "No Service", then the message box says "starting Applications" under the "Android Updating..." message. The phone then finishes initialization as normal and goes to the home screen.

This made me think that my phone might be trying to upgrade from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2. So I went to the system settings > about phone > system updates and checked for updates. It said my phone was up to date, and the version in the about section is 4.0.1.

Has anyone had this happen to them before? Have any ideas?

This happens every time I shutoff my phone and turn it back on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
You will not wait that long. It is still AOSP ICS, no matter who builds it. The wait will never be much longer than yakju devices. Hell my friend is on yakju and got the volume fix a week ago so so much for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
Android upgrading is not the same as changing to a new version its a feature in ICS that optimizes installed apps and whatnot, completely different things

No - ROM's here are full ROM's. You can flash a top of everything and it will be fine. All you need is unlocked bootloader and clockwork mod recovery installed (check stickies in General/Development subforums)

Only issues i have had after switching is now my battery meter always shows "On Battery" even after charging .. It charges fine, and i can get 100% Charge, infact i find i have better battery life on 4.0.4 Yakju then on 4.0.1 Yakjuux ... Unfortunatly the batter thing is annoying me even though its the only issue i am having.

I have also noticed my benchmarks on the device have fell a little bit. I may find a Yakjuux build and revert back to it. But for now ill test this build for a week and see how it goes.
[HTC Sensation] sameermishra726337:
Hey everybody. Right now, I'm trying to choose between ARHD 3.6.11 and InsertCoin 3.4.5. I'm not entirely ready to switch to the new ICS ROMs until they have more stable and featured versions. It would be really helpful if people would like to compare the other two ROMS between battery life, performance, features etc. Thanks everybody!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

The only way to TRULY judge a ROM,is to try it yourself.

That way you will see what YOU like or dislike.

Try it for a day,make a nandroid backup,then try the other one.

It really is not that difficult.

:)
[HTC Sensation] K00li79:
I' ve used both roms, only i had arhd 4.xx because that one also had sense 3.5 (3.6.11 has sense 3.0) Out of the box, with kernel that comes installed with the rom, arhd is faster.

But insertcoin was smoother and battery usage was better,i think because it had stock kernel.

Not that battery life on arhd was bad or anything...

im using insertcoin 3.4.5 with faux kernel 0.26 right now ive tested lots of combinations but this one defenedly is the best for me,regarding smoothnes,battery and ofcourse speed(hitting up to 7000 in cf bench)

If you do choose arhd let me know what your experience is :) Sinds ive had troubles with the new kernel that came with the rom ( not smooth and sluggish).

But remember, not all sensations are the same,you and me are not the same, so its best you try things out for yourself!

Good luck!
[HTC Sensation] sameermishra726337:
I realize it is not too difficult but I honestly don't like the process of flashing ROMS and restoring all my apps. I don't have the paid version of Titanium Backup so I have to sit there and restore all my apps one by one so I would rather wait before committing to a ROM.

I'm also asking because I tried out ARHD before but I had horrible battery drain issues (as in <6 hrs without doing anything) and I went back to InsertCoin. I've heard these issues have been resolved but like I said, I would rather be safe than sorry.
[HTC Sensation] sameermishra726337:
I'll try out InsertCoin first and see how it goes. Thanks danny I appreciate it :)
