I'm sorry if I sound cynical, but who the hell uses those cheap headphones anyways? Plus, they're the same ones you all received with your last Samsung phone, so why do you need two pairs? Yeah, the nice box would be cool to have, but that's not what you carry around with you.

ATT is probably saving money, being greener with a cheaper box, and probably preventing a lot of headphones from sitting inside a box in an ATT bag tucked in a closet somewhere, just like the ones from my infuse are.

If you really care that much about them, that's kind of sad, because they have to be some of the worst sounding earbuds that I have ever used. And I thought skullcandy made crappy headphones.

I agree, the little extras with something this expensive and nice are awesome, but they're nothing to lose sleep about. Imho, the note is worth much more than the extra 100 bucks it will cost me compared to my infuse, so I'm guessing ATT did it to cut back on their losses that they're taking on the phone subsidization.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
Here, if you really want them, buy them!

just found these!

As pathetic as it sounds, I was actually looking forward to using the included earbuds for atleast a week since I just broke my klipsch ear buds. Oh well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
I think people stop calling it a phablet at 7" and just call it a tablet--but I'm sure there will be 5.5" or 6" phablet/tablets at some point too. Also, the Tab 7.7 does have phone software installed, in case you want to hold that thing up to your ear. :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
i'm sure at&t prob saved $5-$10 per box by not getting the headphones with the note... if you multiply that by lets say 250000 people thats quite a savings as stupid as it is lol.

---------- Post added at 02:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 AM ----------

if it is the same model then it should. depends on the frequency lte bands that it uses. there are different bands in the 700mhz frequency range.

I know the note for at&t supports both of at&t's LTE bands. 700mhz, band 17 I believe, and 1700mhz AWS band which they are going to be using shortly as well in some areas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
If the box is open, the box won't do much of anything for resale costs. And I'm sorry to whoever was looking forward to the headphones, that's an understandable situation. For the most part however, people are nitpicking, when the device is what matters the most, and the other stuff likely wont be a deal breaker at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmer411:
The lack of headphones doesn't bother me, I have like 8 pairs from other devices.

I find it a bit comical that the lack of headphones bothers people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllTheWay:
Wow, people are actually complaining about cheap headphones and the box that it comes in.

Here's an idea. If you care that much about that buy a fruit product (cough) Apple. They come with cheap headphones and a nice box.

BTW the current LTE Samsung smartphone that AT&T sells (Skyrocket) Comes with headphones and they are quite nice actually.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
I will only see the box one day when I get it and open it I will put it away just in case I sell it on eBay/craiglist lol

And I ordered some beats by dr dre studios to go with my white note so I'm good
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Wrong. Verizon makes different boxes for all their phones, they just try to be fancier. The galaxy nexus doesnt come with the ice cream sandwich box (damn shame) its just in a generic white box with verizon embossed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
I find it funny . i have never once used the headphones that came in the box with any of my phones.

They just sit in the box haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
AEDan hit the nail on the head. It costs ATT money to subsidize phones. Samsung gets their money (full amount) when ATT buy the phones from them. Then ATT subsidizes the phone to get you to commit to 2 more years on contract. They custom ordered their GNote package to have their box and no ear buds to try and narrow the amount they lose on each phone sold.

Having said all of this does anyone know if the Canadian LTE phones work on the ATT LTE system? I want my headphones! lol! Even though I have not touched the ones that came with my skyrocket or International Gnote!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] giantenemybird:
Why does anyone want to use those uncomfortable crappy headphones?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zer0nine:
People should have the option to be able to use it or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] giantenemybird:
I agree. I just don't understand why people would choose the "use them" option. I guess my ears are different, but they are very uncomfortable, and sound bad. It's worth it to get a decent pair of ear buds, in my opinion. If you spend hundreds of dollars on a phone, why go cheap on ear buds? To each their own though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
I myself would never choose the use them option right when i get it. I have 5 pairs of htc ones, 7 pairs of apple ones, and a bunch of other crappy ones. The reason I Would like to get them is because I have 3 cats. That means if I leave a pair of headphones out on a table, a chair, the floor, etc. They will eat them. I refuse to spend over $20 on a pair because of that, so getting free headphones with a phone is just nice. Because you never know, they may find my stash of headphones and chew the wires. If that was to happen I could just go to the galaxy note box and presto! I have a fresh pair of headphones! That just the way I think anyway. As for the box, I don't care.

Sent from my Apple Newton MessagePad 2100
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] giantenemybird:
Cats are definitely the bane of ear buds haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I guess it more about the value proposition. Not so much we want to use them, we just want them lol! I got a set with my $150 Skyrocket and many other with phones of lesser value so why not for a phone that cost $300 on contract?

ATT and Samsung meeting regarding the GNote:

Samsung: So we can include the cool white earbuds that we included with the international GNote. Apple is suing us because they are white...

ATT: How much more?

Samsung: 10 bucks...

ATT: Naw, nobody uses those earbuds, hell, I have 5 pair laying around the house and I never use them...

LOL!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
They are way fancier and nicer was my point, compared to at&t recycled cardboard boxes. And sure if you ever want to resell it, a nice box would help etc.

I agree with others, we should have the choice to use the headphones or not. I dont own a previous samsung device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] forsakenwicked:
Wow, now thats lame. I got mine in Mexico with Telcel and luckily they do give you all the accesories.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LiquidArrogance:
I thought about driving down there for one. How much off contract?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] forsakenwicked:
Off contract its like 10,000 pesos (a little less than 1,000 dollars). If you've got any friends here that are renewing their cell phone plans, you can get it really cheap. I renewed my contract and paid less than 400 dollars for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
Noticed it does not include the HDMI Smart Adaptor cable*. I assume it's required for outputting to TV.

Uhhh, It was included with my Samsung Infuse 4g. Dang, the thing sells for $40.00. OH well, I actually never used it.

* http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EIA2UHUNBEGSTA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
Heck no the GNote can be used as a TV! lol!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
The included MHL cable was definitely the best thing about the Infuse. It's quite disappointing that no other devices seem to include one. While $40 is way too much to pay for an MHL cable, you will pay $15-20 if you want to get a reputable one.

As for the earbuds thing, I think $10 is a massive overstatement of AT&T's cost to include them; I'd be surprised if the headphones they toss in with their phones even cost them $2. Still, I think people have the right idea of the value proposition; the vast majority of people spending $300-$750 on a phone have better headphones/earbuds already, and those who don't are probably not struggling to pay for a new $5 pair when they are already paying that much for a phone with a $70+/month contract.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I wish Samsung would go with a micro HDMI port. I had them on my OG Atrix and Atrix 2 and it was so simple to mirror with those phones to a TV. I have an OEM MHL adapter and I never use it because you have to hook up the HDMI and the power adapter...I know it is not a big deal but Motorola has the right idea as far as HDMI mirroring...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
just a theory... can the reason they aren't including the original box because of infringing on apple patents? the boxed are very familiar and apple patents everything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
at&t does this with every phone though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
Who gives a **** it's what's in the box that matters and **** those earbuds I got better 1s waiting for the note I mean really how much time are you going to be spending with he box and I don't get how the box will diminish the resell value it's about the phone people
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
I think your punctuation key is broken.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CykoDad:
I have to agree with you on that one. I personally don't care what the packaging looks like let alone what's in the box aside from what I ordered. As for the headphones, and again this is just me, but those would be the first things going in the trash anyway given the money I've already spent on what I'm already using. Considering all the money I'm spending is going into the phone, which I'm very happy to be throwing at this phone, the headphones that may or may not be coming with this phone is the last thing that I was considering...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
...........Ok
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Personally, I only listen to podcasts on my phone, so the quality of the headphones is not that big of a deal. I was really hoping for some nice OEM headphones that could play\pause\rew\ffd and turn the volume up and down.

There are few smartphones these days that don't package headphones and I thought it was interesting they aren't included with the Note. Maybe the margins, even at $299 subsidized, are so tight with this phone that it was worth omitting to AT&T.

But you know, its all just a personal opinion. Certainly not a dealbreaker :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maxh:
It's pretty lame that they cheap out on their high end phone. Just goes to show how greedy AT&T is. The headphones that came with my international note are actually pretty nice. I don't have tons of them laying around, because when I sell my devices, I sell them with original packaging and all accessories. So if I decide to keep the AT&T version and sell the international version, I'll have to buy headphones. One more strike against the AT&T version...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
One more strike ? Lmao they don't give a **** how many strikes you got on them just don't buy it that's the only way you would get there attention
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fountainhead931:
I just want the cheap ones with a mic, they're handy in certain situations when you need hands free and don't have a bt device with you (I don't use BT in ears) but you get my point. All the other phones I've bought have them. Even iPhone has them included-granted they sound horrible on music but for voice? More than good enough, even with the poor isolation from outside noise. I'll just use the pair from my Palm Pre, they're not "Apple" configured and work with my current phone, an Atrix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
I want the headphones, hdmi adaptor, and samsung galaxy note stickers ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maxh:
The strikes are between me and my phones (international and AT&T galaxy Notes.) I'm using them both then deciding which to sell. I never said AT&T gives a damn about anything, and they clearly don't give a damn about their customers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mrglass86:
They are nice buds!!!! I broke my international note buds and I sold the note so I'm sad now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oracleicom:
Hello all,

Do you think the issues with the Galaxy Nexus camera are due to software issues or is the camera sensor just really that bad? It seems that the low light capability of this camera is even worse than that of the Nexus S. I've never had any issues with my camera phones in the past producing such crap photos as the one this phone produces(HTC Sensation, Nexus S and original Nexus). I'm thinking about just going back to my Nexus S and selling this one.

I've attached two photos that someone posted on Google+ illustrating how bad the Galaxy Nexus compares to the Asus Transformer Prime's camera. This is really frustrating and if I were Google and/or Samsung, I'd be embarrassed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Not the same angle, not the same focus point which impacts the validity of this comparison.

Also note that there is a little bit more detail in the more grainy shot. This is something that actually could be improved with a software update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oracleicom:
Hmm...each picture look pretty close to the same angle. I'm more concerned with the graininess of the Galaxy Nexus photo. It seems that the camera's ISO is too high which is why it's producing a grainy picture.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
It mainly comes down to a balance of exposure time, ISO, picture quality level of the sensor at that ISO and noise reduction algorithms/general software post-processing of the image.

I agree that there is quite some room for improvement in this area on the GN camera. I hope Google/Samsung will address this in an update someday.

Apart from this, any phone camera sucks at low light.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adreno:
I find the camera really good. The only thing I find kind of strange is how photo's look in a dim room with flash on close up.

Videos look godly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plucky duck:
Coming from the SG2 the Nexus certainly is a step backwards. What has impressed me about the Nexus camera is the ability to focus and stay focused, and snap shots almost instantly. The SG2 has issues with focus and delays. In movie mode the SG2 would come in and out of focus even when I have not moved the phone at all. Taking photos of moving objects on the SG2 is a real challenge because of its inability to focus, but having said that the photos that are taken properly do come out very sharp and vibrant, especially given enough daylight.

So where the Nexus improved vastly on focus speed, it fails in image quality. Even in moderate light I see more than usual noise from photos taken with the Nexus.

I look forward to the SGIII.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mzrdisi:
I just remind myself that I'm taking pictures with a phone. So I don't care. I also have not had issues with photos. Especially when I remind myself, again, that I am using a phone to take pictures with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Yeah dude, I agree. If I want yo take sick photo's, I'd use a camera anyway, even if the phone is the best "camera" phone on the market. Its for quick shots. I agree aswell that the Gnex could be better... But I've seen/used worse. = )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] torradan:
Amen!

That's why I lug a DSLR around with me when I go away for work.

REAL camera = photography, cell phone = phone with a point & shoot camera built into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Funkym0nkey:
For indoor pics just set your phone to Party preset. Works best.

You can get similar / better results by manually choosing the white balance and exposure settings depending on your light conditions. But for quick snaps, just select party mode and see the difference.

Camera is more than decent.

Personally I am using Camera Zoom FX for most of the time. But in certain low light conditions, stock camera app with party preset actually does much better job.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
This is one of the worst camera I seen in years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brooon:
This is what really holds me back from buying a GN these days...I would be interested in your guys thoughts: Do you think that there will be some software based improvements within the next weeks? Or is it just the lense (or some hardware stuff like that, not my terrain here^^), which can´t be improved?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddieN:
Hardware is always limiting. No amount of software can make something better than it physically can be. I'm not saying that updates cant fix the issues we're seeing, I actually believe the contrary. There is a lot you can do with software to really tweak things. But you can't compare a phone camera to a DSLR or something like it.

I personally believe google will update the camera but the question is when. Personally I think the camera is great. I think it depends on what you're used to taking pictures with, and how ocd/picky you are about quality. The SGS2 has better camera hardware, but do try to remember the issues it had when it first came out. The camera quality issues of it were patched up really nice with a software update so don't give your hopes up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brooon:
Thanks for your input! Yeah I´m coming from an SGSII, atm I´m on a Galaxy Note...so both of my current devices do have better hardware...in the past there was the HD2, which had some terrible software bugs, that have been worked out within months. The last roms I used with the HD2 really pushed the photoquality...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
I came from the sgs2 and they are almost identical, I do find the nexus a bit sharper. Great macro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] merge5:
I started using Shot Control over the stock camera app. It seems to do a better job of with the settings and does give a higher degree of fine tuning them. Give up the panorama mode though, which I love!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
People want the highest quality, buy a freaking camera. Or get over it already, stop making this kind of threads.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 00svt:
i am completely dissatisfied with the camera on this phone. I came from a Nexus One to the Gnex. The Nexus one has an AMAAAZING camera on it. Of course HTC uses better hardware. Ill post comparison pics later... damn samsung!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daffyno:
how can i reduce the noise (or grain... i dont know the exact english term) in the pic??

the pics on first posts explain very good the problem.

thx a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
In short...you can't. The hardware in a device this small can't do much more than that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daffyno:
k thx, but it is ridiculous on device as this...:mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
I currently have an IPhone 4s and have a car windshield mount (which the note will fit in), but I have a separate cable (iphone cable) that connects to the head unit which charges and of course allows me to control the ipod from the head unit. (shows song titles and such).

What is the best way to connect to the head unit? Is there a head unit that has android integration?

BTW...my current head unit is a Pioneer AVIC N4.

TIA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bataga:
Does the head unit have an aux input jack or Bluetooth? If not (and I don't think it does) you'll need to swap head units
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
I can get the Bluetooth Module for it but that's only for calls. It does have USB Mass Storage capability though.

I assume that will work (or that's what I need)??

Are there any head units out there that are more Android friendly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bataga:
Not really. The USB port may not read the device and only let you use a flash drive. I bought a normal unit with auxiliary front and plug my phone and satellite into that. Gotta get the car dock if you want to charge while driving but I never run low batt and I drive like 5-8 hours a day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] idanoclo:
usb mass storage should work with all android phones. it would read it just like the usb flash drives. ive had tried this with an htc inspire on a kenwood stereo. all function controls with file discriptions works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
Sounds like this might work then.

As a side note...anyone know what the best head unit for android would be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] idanoclo:
majority of after market stereos now are intended for the use of ipods but will work for all standard usb drives. if you are unsure, you can always test the demos at your local audio shop.

edit:

for your pioneer avic n4 you need this add-on for usb connection. pioneer cd-ub100
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
I am looking for a car dock but one that dose not have that stick thing at the end because I need to take it off each day and I don't know if you could do that with the one that's out now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
Still looking for a good head unit. I currently have the Pioneer AVIC N4, but to add either bluetooth or USB, it will cost me about a hundred bucks. (Bluetooth is voice only).

I saw the Parrot Asteroid online, but it seems a bit steep (and a bit young...needs some updated firmware I think)

http://www.parrot.com/usa/products/bluetooth-hands-free-car-kits/parrot-asteroid

Any other options out there that you think would be a good fit?? I assume since my Note is nice and big now, that Navigation isn't necessary in the head unit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
I have a pioneer that I use the USB with a 32gb thumb drive just loaded up with music. The phone is also bluetoothed to the head unit for phone calls. I am going to work on using the samsung car dock with a usb host cable and an external hard drive to play media in the car. Only problem I have yet to figure out is how to power it while still using the usb host cable. If I can't find a way I am going to try out a seagate satellite hard drive my buddy has sitting around. Could be a good option, Ive just heard the seagate app kinds sucks
