[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] swedishcancerboi:
my wrist pops as I stretch my thumb out to reach the 'qwas' keys with my thumb.....and this thing is like "back pocket" big...but so gorgeous. Already noticed the pen only works on this, not even my tiny skyrocket.

This will be so sweet for remote desktop. no more Galaxy Tab to lug around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MMAHavok69:
I love this freaking phone so far!!! Web browsing is an absolute pleasure on this beast. I was shocked that it really doesn't take much to to get used to the S-Pen, get better every time I show someone how it works. Oh and LTE is the bomb in Atlanta!!!!!! On my second speed test inside the home depot I work at I got 50 mbps down and 12 mbps up!! SWEET!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rististien:
SO I thought my phone wasn't working so I went from my wonderful miui to stock gingerbread via one click odin and now I can't install ANY roms or installs from recovery. I have no freaking clue what to do because every time I click install from drive or whatever it says, it works for a second then show the droid icon with the ! I currently don't have service but I still want to be able to use my phone for music, pics, and games! *me sad :(*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Did you install CWM using the Auto Root package, Option C? Depending on which one-click ODIN, you may or may not be rooted, but will have stock recovery.

Stock recovey won't install custom ROMs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rististien:
ok so I appear to be rooted but it is stock recovery. So can you point me to what I need to install to get a gingerbread with cwm recovery whether an all in one or a kernel or what have you so I can then install MIUI??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EvoSideHustlAZ:
I would suggest you unroot back to stock,then re-root,qbking has some really good videos with all the links under the videos.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rististien:
ok, but where do I find those? I tried looking in general and didn't see anything..... I'm out of it today
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ubuntunerd:
I just looked at some of his videos today

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty015:
I plan on installing link2sd on my phone, but first I want to backup my memory card, thing is, I don't have pc companion installed (Computer is too slow) and I can't seem to find my card reader, so my only option is to connect my phone to my computer and backup from there, but my question is: Will it work?

Oh, and I've read that I need to have the latest drivers installed for link2sd, will there be any problem without PCC?

EDIT: I am using a Sony Ericsson W8, the build number is 2.1.1.A.0.53, will that impose?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
yes you can just copy paste all the files of your sd card(it worked for me when i change my sd)

you might have problem for link2sd without pcc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
i m making a big decision tomorrow . im still debating whether i should buy a gal nexus or a gal note . i dont mind a 5.3 inch screen but i also lovePURE ICS. if it was you guys and you have the money tomorrow to choose, will u still pick the nexus or go for the note?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
Nah.. I love my gnex because I never have to worry about not having the lastest and greatest android OS... 5.3 inch is too big for me already also hut I do like the screen on the gnote and the stylus functionality...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XAviierG:
I'll still go with the GN. Note looks nice but GN is still better in every way IMHO :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Way too f***ing big. And it'll never have stock ICS or be up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
This is my first phone from Nexus series, but i already love it very much so my next phone will be Nexus too, unless Google/Samsung will mess up something. One of the examples would be 5.3" screen, that would definitely stop me from buying it.

So my answer is no, i wouldn't buy GNote even if it was with 80% discount.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
you're not going to find too many people in the galaxy nexus forums that will tell you to trade it in for a galaxy note...go to the galaxy note forums and you'll get the opposite.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Yes it will when CM9 is functional which it will be soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Also true. XDA is a bad place to ask for opinions because the respective forums will always be biased towards their phone ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
CM9 is not stock ICS. And it isn't OTA'd to my phone. I realize you can root and flash a custom ICS ROM on any device. What if I don't want to? Being able to root and ROM a phone isn't a selling point for me. I like the freedom, but I don't want to buy a phone that I have to root just to get the experience I want.

That's not exclusive to XDA. That's any community/forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I owned a GNex, then sold it for a Note (International). I then sold the Note and bought another Gnex.

The grass isn't greener, particularly if you already have a laptop or Android tablet.

The Note is nice, but having the latest OS on a phone that works on any GSM network (TMo 3G, ATT 3G, etc) is awesome. You can use it on any GSM carrier with 3G. I have a TMo SIM ($30 unlimited plan) that I refill now and again when ATT pisses me off. It's a beautiful thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adreno:
How can you compare the note...or any other device to a Nexus line device? LMAO

Listen OP, any other device that gets released gets forgotten about for the next big thing...but not the Nexus.

Its google's baby, it gets the support from google, it gets the most ROM's, it gets everything first.

The note gets compared to the Galaxy Nexus, next month it will be the next big Android device being compared to the Galaxy Nexus as the note is forgotten. Over and over until there is a new king...a new Nexus.

Forget any other device and just go with the Galaxy Nexus or you'll be sorry...Give it a few months and people will not be able to even trade a note for a Galaxy Nexus. It happens all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samboy2005:
DOnt forget NFC

I agree with Adreno..... the kind of dev attention GN is getting , Note will never imagine .....plus all the benefits mentioned in above post.

we tend to forget GN NFC capabilities because there's not much happening on that front at present i guess, but rest assured GN will be the first phone to commercially use stable apps for NFC if not already; that alone makes it competition proof for quite some time :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Personally i wouldnt trade for a note. I absokutely love my nexus. Plus the nexus screen pixel density is higher than the note, so it looks more crisp. And its pure ICS with google updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KrisHilbun:
Love galaxy nexus first phone I didn't want to theme the mms or phone dialer...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bimmerboii:
I wouldnt be getting a non nexus device from now on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
No, it's too big.

Actually the size of Gnex screen is already pushing my limit. But its design works so it's working well for me now. I think the screen size of Gnex is the biggest that I will go for a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
[Sorry, wrong thread]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3devious:
The writing and drawing capabilities are top notch. If any of these guys had the juice to make a CDMA phone that didn't suck, I'd take the hit and trade now. The Nexus is already a big ugly beast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
you do have a point here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
how do you guys feel about being limited to 16 gig of storage? And correct me if im wrong but looks like the note has more roms now than the nexus. But nexus development is far from done. Im gonna buy one of these phone and im still undecided. Damn......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dkotoric:
im looking to trade my gnex like new for a white note. my decision is purely cause i love bigger screens

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
No (I like my Ice Cream Sandwich and future-proofness too much) but it would be a close one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Having had that exact same thought in the past, I wish you luck.

I'm back to the Gnex, FWIW. With the high pixel density of the Gnex, it's not that different than the Note. The display compared side by side showed me that even though the Note was physically larger, the displayed content was about the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samboy2005:
VOla...who said you are limited to 16Gigs ??:p hahaha...check this out

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1400034

cannot comment on th #of roms for each ad i dont know how much has been done for note.....but for certain ROMs arent the only thing....there's tons of Kernels, basebands and other goodies for GNex which i am loving right now :)

may be i am bit biased cause i am totally in love with my GN,,,but have tried to give you a fair comparison to my best ..lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
Lol i totally understand everyone is a little bias towards their phone . its funny, today at my job someone had a galaxy nexus and ask to play with it a little... its a FANTASTIC looking phone, it is absolutely the sexiest phone ever and the display is amazing. i was like " wow the screen is pretty big, imagine the galaxy note ". But after long hours of thinking, watching and reading reviews i went for the Galaxy note. Im just intrigued by the size of it. But hey if i dont like it im joining you guys with the nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Barely using 4gb of my GNex right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samboy2005:
Well...Hope u Enjoy the nOte....!!!

Hahaha...i know Bro...infact i saw the NOte @ bestbuy today...screen looks amazing indeed...only thing that did not appeal was its width..it was too broad for me.....but its Stylus and stuff u can do with it, is pretty neat indeed !!!

i am sure u'll love ur note as much i love my GN !! :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trickyhenry:
I have both the gnote and gnex. Used both for about 2 months.

Gnote pro's

Larger screen

Better build quality and feel hw

Better speaker

Micro SD slot

Better camera

Gnote cons

Gingerbread

Touchwhizz ui even with ics

So the gnote is a better phone (and is not too big so don't listen to anyone that says it is)

But it will only be a better overall experience when it gets stock ics or cm9. End of the day UI trumps all else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AfroCreame:
Had the international version of the Gnote, but prefer the GSM GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] io53:
I was in your shoes too a month ago. After trying them both out the GNex was a clear choice for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
I don't know about you, 16GB is definitely enough for me. With all the cloud syncing and auto-back up, I will be perfectly fine with even 8GB.

I can't comment on the Note ROMs but quantity doesn't mean quality. My old phone vibrant has way more ROMs than GNex too but... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devil snake:
I won a Galaxy Note in a SAMSUNG contest, kept it for a week, loved the screen, but i couldn't get my mind of the Nexus, so i sold my Note got the Nexus and now i wonder how i managed to live my life without this awesome piece of tech :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] casserly:
a BIG question you have to ask yourself (if you dont mind the 5.3 inch screen) is: Touchwiz (with much more customization and possibly improved usability when official ICS comes for it) or stock ICS (which will always get latest updates, I find it generally faster and more stable and with awesome developer support (not too sure if the note has that)).

tough choice....my personal opinion after having played around with both: GNex :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big samm:
Do like i did, i bought both and be happy!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donutman:
The note is one ugly ass phone. Mine as well get a tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djowett:
I bought the Nexus and sold my Note, which I had for 2 months, two weeks after
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
but why not have more? this is a 600 dollar phone thats has the highest specs in all other aspect. there are times when its nice not having to download large or many files from cloud servers esp. since some hd movies are 3-4gb. wouldnt it be nice to load your entire music collection on your phone?

i dont understand how samsung and google decided only to put 16gb on this thing, is memory really that expensive or are they just trying to screw us. if there is no micro sd slot google could of at least have a decent amount of memory like 32 or 64gb. Not having micro sd card slots was one thing that turned me away from apple and now my new flagship phone from google doesnt have a mirco sd slot whereas my $100 LG p500 has one? how does this make sense?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silver03wrx:
Lol . Yeah 16 gigs is not enough. Im glad i got the 32 gig from vzw when i did. Because there only going to have the 16 as well. And really wtf was google/sammy thinking .no sd slot=stupid decision. Which did deter alot of potential customers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
What they were thinking?

They were thinking that it would give almost 99% off all users a better experience with the device, and guess what? They were right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
What? Your screenshot shows you have 25gb free, but you're saying 16gb total isn't enough?

And you honestly think they lost "a lot of potential customers" not selling a 32gb GSM model? I highly doubt that.

Pretty damn much. Having 1 partition and no finicky UMS crap helps everyone. 16gb is plenty of storage for the normal person.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L0 Mann:
16GB is fine with me and i would never trade my GSM Nexus for a Note
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itch808:
If the note had 32GB of onboard storage, ICS NOW, and was on Verizon (AT&T/T-mobile = :( )

I guess that's a no then :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Seeing as I just got it 2 hours ago, no ;-)

The note looks great, but it's a little too big for my liking, the GN is about my size limit. I got fed up with Samsung as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
How does 16gb give any better experience than 32gb? Its literally identical in either setup. The 32gb would apply just the same yet be better for the user.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
Youre right but this is the part when you root your phone and can install a stock ICS rom. (Im sure it will be available soon for the note, already plenty on the SGSII). But here is my thing, people always talk about how the nexus will get updates first and blah blah blah... but a nexus updates is only ahead of other device for 1 major OSreleasr cause by the time android 5.0 jelly bean comes out there will b a new nexus so once the note is updated to ICS , we will be pretty much on the same boat. even if the nexus gets 5.0 next january for example, people will b all over the next nexus thats why i rather go with the note that has much better internals than the nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Geekbabe:
Going with the Gnote would mean jumping ship from Verizon over to AT&T.. shuddering at the mere thought. LOL, so in a word .. No :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adreno:
The Note is destined to be the next Dell Streak, heard it here folks. Holding a device that big to your face is sure to get some laughs at least lmao.

Think about it OP. Would you like to make a call on a nice sexy sleek Galaxy Nexus in public, or would you want to hold a gigantic rectangle slab up to your face?

Thats like me trading my Mitsubishi Eclipse in for a Box van, no thanks LMAO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mwinggg:
Y not consider using gnex til gs3 release?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynneddington:
Just get the rezound
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
some people would prefer a box van to an eclipse, they ruined the eclipse by taking out the 2.0l turbo and putting in a v6. i used to have a 92 laser, same frame and engine as the old eclipse, that thing was a beast that had no problem keeping up with v8 mustangs and 5 series bmws. lots of people still carry flip phones, doesnt mean they are doing it wrong. im sure there are lots of people that think the GN is too big already. the note is only 0.59in longer and wider but the screen is 0.65 in bigger.

for the OP check out phonedogs review and 30 day galaxy note challenge, Aaron the reviewer also thought that it was too big but after using it for a few weeks he preferred it to phones with smaller screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
I did watch the "Dogfight" between the nexus and the Note and the Note won lol. im also watching the 30 days challenge , he switched to the AT&T version tho. Anyway i got an email earlier saying that my note should b here tomorrow morning . ill definitely give you guys a mini review and my honest thoughts on the phablet :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
No, hell no.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nory82688:
I would trade my galaxy nexus for a galaxy note only is the note came with stock vanilla ICS. I am not a Touchwiz fan at all. Other than that the Note is awesome. Love the size of it !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
I already have a tablet, and for the moment I want a phone with stock ICS, not Samsung crap bloatware. So no, I'm not even vaguely interested in the Note.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nexcellent:
Having spent 15 minutes with the Note, i grew to love my GNex even more.

There is simply no need for a 5.3" screen on a phone, and i don't know what market they were shooting for, i don't even know why it was made.. with a stylus at that!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I'll just hazard a guess and say older professionals, people who typically put paper to pen in meetings, etc... Not knowing what proprietary apps it comes with, I can see potential for a lot of things, just not a lot of things that I'd be interested in using. And as you said the size is a huge (pun intended) concern. It's ~ the same size as one of the tasty Lindt chocolate bars, and I've never thought for a second of putting a Lindt in my pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malliktajmahal:
very peaceful answer...:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
I hope by now you got the point. There is no better device on the market now, and I believe for the next year than the galaxy nexus. ;)

Beastly Galaxy Nexus Prime!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
That's a tough one having played with the Note and owning a Gnex this is what I conclude:

Galaxy Nexus

Pros:]

- Latest OS/ Stock ICS + Latest updates

- Decent size screen

-Thin

- Great Screen/Display

- Easy to mod/root (it is a "dev" phone).

- 16GB Internal memory

-Tons of ROM's available =)

-NFC

Cons:

- No SDCard Slot :(

- Battery Life isn't great

-Speaker isn't great

Note

Pros:

-Huge Screen (If you like that kind of thing; I do )

-decent battery life

-nice Display

-Great CPU

-SDCard slot :)

-NFC

Cons:

- Have to rely on Samsung for updates (or mods).

- No ICS

- Speaker isn't great

(Note: I haven't looked into the ROM scene for the Note)

I personally love both, but can't leave the Nexus world since I got a Nexus S. I have tried other phones but they all seem somehow less polished to me.

So After all that I would have to say GNex FTW :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reveers:
I already have a tablet (rooted Iconia A500), but would not get or trade the Gnex for the Gnote any day. As a cell-phone I think it'd just be too big (coming from a Palm Pre).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] betcmrekoapl:
Lol G NOTE....is that like a thousand dollar bill?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
Well guys i just got my Note this afternoon. I know everyone is excited when they get a new phone and all that so usually people are happy but im gonna be honest here are my impressions ( im writing this comment on my Note haha!). So i opened the box and was like HOLY SH*T OMG WOW THAT IS A BIG ASS PHONE!! I know eveeyone said it was big but i thought people were exagerating but wow dude its a big phone. But man I lLOVE IT SO FREAKING MUCH RIGHT NOW! I havent stop playing with it it since i unboxed it. This thing is so freaking fast its crazy, i mean it is ridiculously zippy. Its HUGE, the screen is so bright and crisp. I cannot wait for ICS ( im gonna get lots of comments but whatever lol) to be released on this with the roboto font. Its too early for me to review it but it ia definitely not for everyone. But man it is unique, its just beautiful i got the white one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyattyoss:
Loving my 32gb Nexus....on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkeypaws:
I'm the kind of person to watch and read reviews before purchasing a phone. I think the screen size of the gnex and sgs 2 is my Max for phones. The note seems too big and I'd rather upgrade to a tablet at that point. Every phone for a different person I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] norklo:
hmmm

hmmmm Gnote doesnt seem to fit in either of phone nor tablet category

What is it good for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
It fits in the phablet category however. No competition either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
I know this feeling. I got this excited about my nexus. Did you have nexus before?

How do you feel between the two?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
I've never owned a nexus but I had the chance to play with it a few times plus I'm over familiar with ICS cause I was running it stock on my rooted galaxy s 2. The note and the nexus are among the 3 best smartphones (galaxy s 2 also). You cannot go wrong with either one. It all comes down to the screen size when its all said and done. The note will get ICS in march, you can root it and will be able to run stock ICS. But the Note has better internal, it is so fast, the screen is beyond amazing, I personally love the big screen but you may not, battery life with 2500mah is great. The nexus is the sexiest phone EVER made, great development, great UI, no buttons. But ICS is what makes the nexus unique, the other phones are about to get android 4.0 and it will come with manufacturer overlay but that's why you root and install a stock ICS from or CM9. But at the end of the day they are both amazing. I'm sure I would have been EXTREMELY happy if I would have bought the nexus just like I am with the note, I'm a multimedia person so a big screen is just right for me. Ya dig!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adreno:
I've been hating on the Galaxy Note a lot in this thread but I thought I better educate myself in the ways of the Note...

It honestly looks like a really nice phone. In my opinion the top 3 phones right now (In no particular order) are the Galaxy s2, Galaxy Nexus, and the Galaxy Note.

I am sorry for my earlier comments OP, it actually looks like a nice phone. They came from a place not of trolling but of a place of concern. I was honestly thinking that the phone would just be too big. But after watching some videos and reviews I actually think its a pretty good size. The screen is big but the amount of phone around that display seems pretty small so I think Samsung like usual did an excellent job.

Enjoy your phone OP, I am actually thinking about picking one up because I I draw and tattoo and think it would be nicer to draw on it then even a tablet.

And I am sorry. And I am glad you are happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
Lol dude you don't have to apologize everybody has their own opinion. I know the majority of people who speak about another phone other than the one they have never played with the phone they are bad mouthing I do that sometimes too. But if you plan on getting the note I will suggest the white one. Its truly a unique device and I think it is amazing. But both the Nexus and the Note are top dog! I wish I could have both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adreno:
Thanks man but you know what, I think with how passionate we all are for mobile devices sometimes we don't realise when we are crossing that line from opinion to no ones opinion matters but mine. Maybe this site would be a nicer place if more people apologized and let their ego's go a bit. So yeah, you'll accept my apology! *shakes fist*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
Cheers mate!
