[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
Aspect ratios are a funny beast. HDTV (720p as well as 1080p or FullHD in marketing terms) is 16:9. 800x480, which I consider to be the "classic" Android resolution--it's been more or less standard from the time of the Nexus one, up through the SGS2--has a 15:9 (aka 5:3) aspect ratio, so it is slightly wider when held in portrait than a GNexus. The Note is 1280x800, so at 16:10 (or 8:5) it lies in between the two--not as skinny as a 720p phone, but not as wide as a "typical" 800x480 phone.

On a complete tangent, I miss when 16:10 was the standard for monitors. Most monitors now are 1080p rather than 1920x1200; the latter is really a superior resolution for a computer imo. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eksasol:
Don't forget it uses Pentile display, not RGB, so there are less subpixels than regular screens. With that said, I thought my Note has excellent screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
5.3"

1280x800

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
So when encoding a video what should I set the resolution too ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
1280x720 to keep the same aspect ratio
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eksasol:
No its 1280x800, which is .625 aka 16:10, not .5625 which is 16:9. It doesn't matter though, keep your video at its original ratio, if you want to stretch the video, let the video player do it.

hey guys ur current phone the g2 is kind of outdated and i think u guys should get a mytouch 4g slide. tmobile is giving out the mytouch 4g slide as a replacement. the mytouch has a cm7 rom, a sense 3.0 rom, multiple ics roms, and recently it got a miui rom released. i really think u guys should consider gettin this phone because it has a keyboard like the g2 and its super fast.

I think i'd rather run the doubleshot rom. But I'm not going to cause I haz ice cream 4.03 running flawlessly on my g2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Exactly, I'm holding out for that. Besides, it will be a world phone (other versions of it like the Desire Z vs G2) instead of the MyTouch plasticy models for US specifically. Looking forward to those 2nd (maybe 3rd?) Gen dual cores with significant power saving and GPU upgrades like in the Ville this summer.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ChemBot:
If the G2 had a front-facing camera, I'd have no complaints with it at all. The lack of mod community support for MTS 4g and the build quality made me hold off on upgrading to it for a while, and now I think I can wait for something better. All the recent slider phones are for CDMA (Verizon, Sprint)
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
yeah, well wifi is not everywhere. My point is... I'd wait for a more worldly phone that works on my network's 3G frequencies, that's all. Not many people would be willing to give up 3G for a particular phone, ya know?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrbmg:
The mt4gs is a great phone. I recently got it as a replacement for my g2, but, and a huge BUT, the bootloaders on the phones they are sending out are LOCKED!

Let me tell you, this sucks. So much, that I'm almost thinking about switching my wife this phone for her g2. The dev support is definitely lacking, and they have no 100% working (I mean everything working), stable roms. The screen is worse then the g2 as well, especially watching netflix....which I think is dumb seeing how it's a newer phone.

As far as speed, there is no comparison. The mt4gs runs laps around any rom I ever used with my g2 (as it should with the dual-core). I'm not a huge fan of sense, but I'm getting used to it. The keyboard is weird to me as well. I'm a big physical keyboard guy, and these keys are to flat, and spread real weird. Another issue I've come up with, is it seems the backlight has a problem on the keys. Maybe its a defect on a referb I got, but it sometimes doesn't come on when I think it should. The battery life, is absolutely HORRIBLE. With pyro, mex, and ILWT I could easily get over 10 hrs of light to medium batt usuage. Um, I don't think I've hit 10+ hrs once, unless I was sleeping. Let's see, what else???? If I think of anything else ill let ya know.

Oh, also, the speaker is not loud at all. You have to have good ears to watch\hear anything.

BillY
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
yeah, they're getting updates.... almost half a year after the g2.

the development community for the g2/dz is still loads better than the mt4g.

go back to the mt4g forum and fawn over your phone there.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xhitz:
I think if i updated to any phone right now i would be prolly more happy switching back to my g1!! In my opinion it still has the best phone placement/keyboard feel in the hands!

To go into any given forum and create a thread saying that your phone is old, get another phone is the epitome of trolling. Thread closed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] skifreek:
It will fit like a glove. I had a Samsung car dock for my GS2, and it fit amazingly well. My only gripe was it just a tad too big and bulky, so i think the note dock will seem gargantuan to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimocal:
I was thinking about that one too but I want a mount where I don't have to remove the case if the phone has one on it at the time.

because you have to mount on the window thus placing your phone in the hotest place possible
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Idk I've never had any issues with heat having a window mounted dock. I think the Samsung ones look a lot better than these others and seem more secure. I've had universals that did not hold well and threw my phone from a bump. Without anything holding the top, these ones seem like they could do the same thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbran:
The Samsung one is sharp looking but 1)it's a window mount, 2) It won't fit the Note with anything more than a minimal case on it (and that's a push) and 3) The app that controls the audio-out is pretty wonky. You are better off putting your money toward a Pro-Clip. Personally I prefer the Mountek. They go fast though. I bought it for my SR but it fits the Note great.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E5W3D4?ie=UTF8&force-full-site=1

Window mounts seem to have a lifespan of about a year before they start randomly falling off the window from the suction cup aging. With a phone the size of the Note, that isn't something I care to try.

Do they not both hold your phone for you while you drive? So they both serve the same purpose but one costs half of what the other does, can be used with more than one phone size AND you have a choice of colors. That's the great thing about America. You can choose what fits your needs the best, like buying a phone with a big a$$ screen. Of course the thought of being able to re-use the same dock that can accommodate multiple phone sizes and thicknesses (REF cases and extended batteries) sounds better to me personally.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carhigh:
You just called them phone holders.. That was my point. Now if someone wants a dock, only Samsung makes a true dock. I have one for my note since I got the international and now use it with the att note. Its not a phone holder.

For those who don't want it suctioned to the window, the dock fits on a lot of other mounts. I have mine on another mount screwed into my dash. I original had the dock for my infuse on one of those vent mounts but wasn't perminate enough for me

My new phone "holder" that I just got. The Mountek MT5000. Ingenious, it mounts in the CD slot. A thumb screw spreads the rubber "flaps" in the opening. Still allows cd's to play....but I use my Note through a Jabra Cruiser BT for tunes anyway.

I returned the Samsung "dock" for numerous reasons. The fact that it doesn't fit with most cases was the worst thing. The Mountek holds the Note (or any device) pretty snug and for $20 on Amazon...can't really go wrong.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LiquidArrogance:
I went proclip because I like the placement in the car. My windshield slops such that I would have had to lean forward significantly to manipulate the phone. With the proclip it's perfectly placed. I also like the fact that it "docks" to charge and I don't have to plug anything in. Just drop the phone in an go.

Yes, it's expensive, but for what I wanted it fit the bill.

Had to mod it slightly to fit with my case as you can see in my thread with pics, but it works perfectly with and without the case still.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbran:
Yeah I have followed your thread. Proclip is the best answer imo. I am in the final year of this car, so it doesn't justify the expense until I trade it. The Mountek gets around the windshield mount drawbacks for me.

Here's a quick initial eval of the Exogear Exomount Universal Car Dash Mount.

Holds the phone well while driving the curves on my daily commute. If it was in my old WRX it may not do so well but in the new Outback it's working fine as the rider is much smoother.

Pros

$20ish dollars

White to match my phone or black if desired

Accomadates multiple phones and sizes

Suction mount has the same "sticky" material as my Heininger CommuteMate DashGrip making it stick and stay even to the textured surface on my dash.

Cons

Border line flimsy - I can see myself re-using the awesome suction mount portion with a CNC'c aluminum arm portion. If the plastic was a big thicker like on my modded Garmin holder I used for my Captivate then this would be moot

Phone cambers or swings a bit in the holder

Threaded nut that locks down movement is a bit difficult to lock

For $20ish it's not bad but not amazing. Long term use and not melting during the hot summers here in Sacramento will determine if it's worth it.
