Luckily the girl I asked for the note display model at bestbuy went into a cabinet and pulled one out but of course the display wasnt even on and was fake. And yes then I went to the galaxy player, not much different. Maybe the note was a little taller,wider but I believe thinner. The weight was identical. The display was nice and thats only and 800x480 resolution.

This may be the longest week ever lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
i cant speak for him, but i ASSume that is exactly what he means...customization.

i am in the same boat as y'all. i still have my 1st smartphone, the 3GS. the large screen was the 1st thing to draw me to this phone, then the s-pen. then when i heard about being able to customize it in various ways was exciting (not sure if or how this is possible with iP.)

seeing all of the great end-user reviews of this phone on the various forums, Youtube and even Amazon reviews, let's me know we cant be wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CykoDad:
I completely agree! I've watched so many YouTube videos since the GNote hit the UK (and beyond) streets and have been waiting for it to find ours ever since. Hell, I've watched countless videos in languages I don't even understand just to see how this thing works for them. From what I've seen and watch in the last few months the GNote is truly amazing and I can't wait to finally get my giddy little hands on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
The only other concern for you iphone users is the camera/video.

I havent seen the greatest reviews of photos and videos from the note where as the iphone camera is suppose to be one of the "best". I'm so hoping the at&t version note takes good pics and vids.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CykoDad:
I didn't make the move to the iPhone 4s which does have a much better camera that the iPhone 4. From what I've seen, the GNote takes much better shots and videos that the iPhone 4. However, I myself don't take a lot of pics and vids with my current phone. The issues I've seen and read in regard to the camera function of the GNote did not play into my decision to make the switch. I've used my iPhone camera from time to time but when I know I'm going to events where I will take a lot of pictures I use my DSLR for that. Honestly, the only time I ever really needed my iPhone for a camera was when I was rear-ended early last year. That was really the only time I was glad to have some form of camera on me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] geoldr:
I am also switching from the IP4 to the GNote. And again, like many users said, none of the android phones really made me interested. I like the skyrocket, but I really want a HD resolution. But then I saw the Note, and how big the screen was, and im sold.

Ive played with the galaxy player, and thought it was a good size. Maybe ill sell my ipad2 after getting this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CykoDad:
Actually, my 13yo daughter told me she wanted the GPlayer instead of a new iPod when she graduates (if they call it that anymore) from middle school this year. I don't actually remember telling her I'd buy her a new iPod...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fiveoneooo:
The benefits from android over iphone are numerous, two of the ones i find most useful

-folder management (dont have to deal with itunes to manage your music, just treat it like any folders on your computer)

-battery can be switched out, On my captivate I have three batteries and a dock that charges them so I always have one charged and ready which is quite nice.

There are more, especially the custom roms which are really sweet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MMAHavok69:
Well I can tell you that the simple fact that you iPhone users are even on a site like xda tells me two things right away. 1 You guys all have some tech geek in you!! 2 Because of that, you guys will never go back to ios once you guys get the hang of android with rooting and flashing custom Rom's, which is becoming easier practically everyday compared to just a year ago.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
tx Havok, that makes me more confident that a noob like me can Root my upcoming Note.

and how many of us iOs guys are sick to death of "sync'ing" our iPhone to iTunes and it takes like 30-40 minutes just to "sync" to iTunes everyday...that is complete garbage and a waste of my time...i ASSume Android isn't like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
It's not at all.

For people coming from iPhones:

-Create a Google account if you don't already have one

-Go to music.google.com

-Download the music uploader

-Have it upload up to 20,000 songs to the cloud (for free)

-Download the app on your Note and they're all there.

You can pin music to your phone if it's something that you listen to frequently or if you won't have a connection for some period of time (eg. flight)

Any music that you add to your computer via ripping a CD or buying it on iTunes or whatever you use, will automatically get uploaded to your Google Music account

Also check out Google Docs. (docs.google.com)

There's a batch uploader so you can have access to all of your documents on your phone instantly. They're stored in the cloud so you can edit them on the go, go to any computer, sign in to docs.google.com, and continue working from where you left off.

They just added offline support about a week ago too for Docs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
I still find it hard to believe that I went through 3 different iPhones: 2G, 3GS, and 4. They're basically all the same thanks to ios.

After #4, I tried a variety of different phones ranging from Android, WP7, to WebOS.

Nowadays, if I even use an iPhone for barely 1 minute, it feels really awkward in my hand...as if I'm about to drop it. It especially applies to when I'm typing something rather brief. Once you get used to Android, you should feel that you can't ever return to ios.

Like 99% of the people who say non-iPhones are all aweful....it's likely that they never even tried anything else. Perfect example is that they think Palm WebOS is complete bogus crap that I'm imagining.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kotaro_14:
The switch from iOS to Android is a great one. You'll have the ability to install custom kernels, roms, and scripts etc. The GNote is one of the best phones out there.

Sent from my White Samsung Galaxy Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
Right now - the best.

Even the quad core phones we'll see at MWC this month won't bring anything new to the table besides maybe battery life.

And one of them will be HTC. I'm done with Sense personally. I mean, I'd rather have it than motoblur but still.... AOSP and Touchwiz are the best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CykoDad:
Thanks for the info. I'd been wondering how I was going to get all my music on my phone. Contemplated rebuilding a few playlists with GrooveShark but that can be a bit of a pain. I'll mess around with the Google Music tool for a couple days to get familiar with it. I'm sure its easy enough to use...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MMAHavok69:
Your welcome! There are so many fast options for your music is not even funny compared to ios. Hell, you can literally just drag your entire music library folder on your computer onto your external SD card and your done (takes a minute and won't read the old protected iTunes songs) or my favorite is doubletwist, the paid version lets you sync over the air!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sanroy24:
ip4 to note

i too am switchin from the iphone4, well i had the vivid for a brief period, untill i returned it. wasnt a great fan of samsung, untill i learnt that i could customize to my liking...yesterday i had my hands on a dummy unit @ bbuy..for ppl who havent seen the device first hand yet, let me tell you, this ohone is huge..the phone is almost as wide as the legth of the screen of the ip4, so you can imagine how tall this guy stands, thers no way im goin back to the iphone after usin this.

my hands are already itichin..cant wait untill 17th
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ngocdao:
If only Android/Samsung had a simple intuitive sync like icloud (ical, bookmarks, notes, etc..)

Other than that, this phone is lightyears ahead of the 4S

fyi new Samsung Kies > Doubletwist. Has OTA sync and much easier interface to work with. Plus its free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikegehl:
Another thing you may want to consider doing between now and release day is migrating your contacts over to Google Contacts (within Gmail). Makes phone setup and sync a breeze! Especially if you end up rooting and flashing custom ROMs more than a few times. The easiest way to backup contacts is by having them in Google's cloud.

There have been a few times I've added contacts to the phone's memory by accident instead of attaching them to my Gmail account. Switched to a new ROM and poof - the contacts are gone! When you get your Note, go into the Contacts app and make sure you change the settings to add new contacts to your Gmail account by default.

(FYI - when you add a new contact, you can choose to add it to your Gmail account, a Google Apps account (attached to my company's domain name), your phone memory, or your SIM card. I believe it defaults to phone memory.)

Google Chrome was just released for ICS - will sync your bookmarks on all platforms that use Chrome.

Google Calendar syncs perfectly for me - and one of Amazon's free apps of the day way back when was Business Calendar - a really nice - and nice looking - app, IMO.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] I Am Marino:
The screen difference has to be insane for someone coming from an iPhone to the Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] canecbr600:
I don't think the note has a notification led, hope I'm wrong! Prolly have to wait for BLN kernal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kotaro_14:
Yeah, no Notification LED. Samsung stopped putting it on their products.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] betoNL:
Well I am sticking to one Rom and that's Crisekelo's like in my good 'n old sgs froyo times, but I like to test various kernels, when I have time...

Anyway I never saw a Mod Kernel with so many governors as the AbyssNote kernel, which I am testing right now..

Since there are many users out there that unlike me, already own the GNote for a long time and are way more experienced than me with this particular Kernel, I decided to start this Poll-thread so users can vote on their favorite governor and prehaps elaborate a little about it..

Thanks in advance..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iceangel1980:
Since Abyss Kernel is not working for my Note (overheat), I' at FM kernel with SavagedZen governor and vr I/0 Scheduler, butter smooth and stable, goes to deep sleep as it supposed to, sharp performance and moderate battery life. I know you prefer Abyss but just wanna let you know how the other kernel is working.

When I was on Abyss I was using abyssplug governor with and without undervolting. Hope you can get Abyss work for you, if you manage to do it without overheat I would appreciate any info.

have fun!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] betoNL:
Oops ... you reacted fast ! The poll was not even ready :)

At the moment I don't prefer any kernel ( Only the rom;)) and on a device such as the GNote, I have a hunch that we dont need a super-optimized kernel with tons of iterations and that's why I always keep CF-Root and Speedmod handy, but I like the dedication and availability of AbyssNote developer, so I am giving it another try...

Since I have not enough time to play with the GNote as I did with the sgs, I am hoping that the AbyssNote users will give this specific input ....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BrainSex:
Hi betoNL,

just give the Abyss Kernel v3.7 another try. I am really satisfied with ABYSSPLUG governor and the SIO scheduler - great balance between performance and battery life. And it is also butter smooth and stable without any overclocking indeed ;-)

To be honest: I can't understand your problem with overheating. It could have its seeds in an app with unnormal behaviour or a constant hang-up in the background. Maybe you will execute this little turnaround at the next opportunity:

1. Charge your battery to 100%

2. Use a Taskkiller and kill every open task

3. Reboot in Recovery Mode and wipe voltage & battery stats (DON'T WIPE ANYTHING ELSE, PLEASE!)

4. Reboot yours system...

Best regards

Hi,

great poll... my vote goes to the abyssplug ;-)

Would be interesting to add users choice of the I/O scheduler.

What do you think about that little improvement?

Best regards

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] angelom:
As I said, I recommend AbyssPlug
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clairenix:
I don't understand how abyssplug works. So I don't use it.

I do use lulzactive because it uses mostly my lowest frequency which drains battery the least when not stressed and highest frequency when stressed and basically ignores everything in between. It's been great.

can someone explain how abyssplug works? I've been searching, it only says modified hotplug. That doesn't tell me much.

in short words this govenor is build on "ondemand" but increases the C4 state time of the CPU and doing so trying to save juice....

The known ones are really good described here one the setcpu page:

the rest is nice described here:the rest is nice described here:

lazy (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1276092) - is ondemand but with an added option to stay longer on a certain frequency. This is due to the fact that some CPU's dont like too quick freq changes when sampling rate for decision making is set too low. See link for more.

lulzactive (http://tegrak2x.blogspot.com/2011/11...vernor-v2.html) - is basically interactive governor with added smartass bits and variable (as opposed to fixed amout) frequency scaling, based on currently occuring cpu loads. Has, like smartass, a sleep profile built-in. See link for details on exact scaling.

lagfree (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1272933) - seems to be ondemand but with a lessend tendency to ramp up to 100% but rather also use steps available in between 0-100%.

intellidemand (freely translated from http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-hac...-governor.html) - behaves like ondemand when the system is under heavy use, it behaves differently when the system is mostly ideling. That mode is colled "browsing mode" or "browser mode" or whatever. It seems to be some sort of "intelligent" demand sensing/analysing ondemand governor.

smartassV2 - this one should be known. It's the same as smartass(V1) but tweaked. Same code author. I heard one should use smartassV2 instead of smartass when available.

ondemandx - is ondemand with an added sleep profile built-in. I believe all ...X kernels are the default kernels but with an added sleep profile.

AbyssPlug Governor:

Abyssplug governor is a modified hotplug governor

>>Hotplug Governor:

The "hotplug" governor scales CPU frequency based on load, similar to

"ondemand". It scales up to the highest frequency when "up_threshold"

is crossed and scales down one frequency at a time when "down_threshold"

is crossed. Unlike those governors, target frequencies are determined

by directly accessing the CPUfreq frequency table, instead of taking

some percentage of maximum available frequency.

The key difference in the "hotplug" governor is that it will disable

auxillary CPUs when the system is very idle, and enable them again once

the system becomes busy. This is achieved by averaging load over

multiple sampling periods; if CPUs were online or offlined based on a

single sampling period then thrashing will occur.

Sysfs entries exist for "hotplug_in_sampling_periods" and for

"hotplug_out_sampling_periods" which determine how many consecutive

periods get averaged to determine if auxillery CPUs should be onlined or

offlined. Defaults are 5 periods and 20 periods respectively.

Otherwise the standard sysfs entries you might find for "ondemand" and

"conservative" governors are there.

After goin thru this thread I tried the AbyssPlug governor.

And indeed its good so far.

Me likes!!!!!!!!! :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pjm77:
My choice is lulzactive.

Most important things for me are smoothness, fast wake&unlock and gaming performance. I don't care about the battery life that much so it seems a perfect choice for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nicbet:
I like lulzactive, too!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mfractal:
What, no smartassv2 love here ? I found it at least as good as lulzactive for my usage.

My priorities - Fast response after sleep, smoothness, battery.

My governor choices on top were : SmartAssV2 (Currently using), AbyssPlus (Used it, liked it, later will compare to SmartAssV2) and Lulzactive (which is pretty good as well).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clairenix:
Again, it's just a modified hotplug. What's modified about it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iceangel1980:
guess I was in chatty mood :D

Believe me I don't get it either and I'm pretty upset I can't use that kernel which is so valued by other android users. I was trying your advice and any other I could find in Abyss Kernel thread, nothing works for me. What is really funny I don't have any problems on other kernels. Well maybe I'm just unlucky this way. I'm thinking about getting my Note to Samsung for screen display exchange, so maybe they can do something about overheating too, maybe it's hardware related.

Thank you for your interest and advice :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] liutszho:
anyone using the app 2nd core and turning on dynamic hotplug?

It rly helps the battery :)

Might be useless to use along side abyssplug tho since it does the same thing
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kersh:
I use lulzactive, don't care about a little more battery drain

I use too 500mhz minimum speed @ 800mv, with it is pretty strange because 100 and 200 are not stable at that voltage and need 825, so having more speed I use less battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
You don't use less battery because it's not only determined by voltage. Frequency us also a factor in power consumption, so 100MHz at 825 uses less battery for sure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Elusivo:
There's a post here somewhere here in the gnote forum that shows a study where they explain how 50 and 100MHz do consume more battery cause the CPU gets more stressed and takes longer to perform the task that would take less time and effort to accomplish at a higher frequency (or something like that)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mfractal:
Actually a higher frequency @ same voltage as a lower frequency would consume LESS battery because it will complete the task faster.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
With my setup only ondemand really worked well, my second core scaling is always set to 2 cores enabled and I have a landscape setting for ADWex and any other governor will give me like 10-15fps when opening the app drawer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] norge-xda:
Abyssplug fits my needs: I don't need so much power (no playstation-like games) but I use phone h24, from music to calls, from surfing to calendar/alarm...quite all stuff by BT headset and voice command. Battery drains slower than expected, my Note stays alive 'till night
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] izi_:
Abyssplug is enough very good with undervolt its perfect. Nice battery life and performance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Loftus:
Actually this is only true if the CPU power draw is resistive. In modern CMOS processors like ARM, the power draw is directly related to their switching frequency. More info here: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMOS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ko_latte:
for me = abyssplug ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BrainSex:
Abyssplug with SIO rocks my note, folks :p

Fixed 100 / 1400 Mhz for normal use which slows down the drain of the battery indeed. When playing a game with performance hunger I switch to another SetCPU (or Voltage Control) profile (i. e. 800 / 1600 Mhz) and everything works fine too.

Many thanks to the italian kernel cook ANGELOM for his great work and his ongoing dedication :cool:

Currently I'm using stock GB rom with AbyssNote v4.2

E: I'm currently undervolting my Note.

Right now I'm testing 800Mhz and at stock it was 1075mV and right now I'm all the way down to 900mV. 850mV was a no go so figured I'll just skip testing 875mV.

Working my way down from here for the 700/600/500/400/200 states.

Has anyone noticed their GN turn on by itself and turn off? I've notice this happening a few times a day and each time I think it's shutting itself off but its not. Nothing is running or the table wasn't nudged in any way. I can only catch a glimpes of the screen turning off before I notice it. There's also nothing moving or any light to reflect off the screen to make me think its a reflection...

Just wondering if anyone else notice this... I hope it's not all in my head.
