[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bradbusa:
just out of curiosity, what manufacturer has announced that they will be releasing a phone with a quad core processor and 2 gigabytes of ram? I've seen a lot of user talk regarding devices with these specs, but no actual official info from manufacturers.

Just because something better will come out in the future doesn't make the current best obsolete.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dman3285:
I got mine and its a friggin beast compared to infuse... running ucla1 2.3.6 stock with dual core and spen ... no substitute... getting official ics March 1st... nuff said
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Erik_T:
You THINK you're getting official ICS March 1st. Lol. What did we learn about Sammy's patterns?? Lol..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] J101:
That's what gets me too. Non-Samsung phones that were released before the Infuse have been confirmed as getting ICS with ETAs.

I like Samsung phones - especially their audio... but my next phone wont be one. Can't trust Samsung to keep their commitments in a timely manner.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tmease1:
The screen is too big. My phone is always in my pocket and that big of a phone would not be good for a person like me that does manual labor all day. Its personal preference.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Axiomkid:
I guess you don't read much do you? Samsung has already jumped the ship into making a Quad core 2gb ram phone......What is it? Samsung Galaxy S3, When can we expect it? Probably in another 3 to 4 months, those that can't wait and wanna jump the boat for a Note go right ahead, And if these specs do become official, then it's gonna make your Note look bad. They were saying the S3 would have a beast battery that would last longer than normal giving us more of a benefit for those who constantly use their phone but Hey That's you! Keep in mind better **** is coming....... Just relax!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yohannie:
I honestly don't see how it's not a real upgrade.

The Infuse has gotten me through without problems for most of my daily tasks. However, it does freeze up rather frequently, lags, and also has some issues now and then with stuttering and resetting itself (or just turning off).

I'm not saying the Note (or Galaxy SII) don't do those things, but I feel like they should do them less. Yeah, I know I can flash a custom ROM and all, but every time I did one, I'd always run into a bug or two that would make me go back to stock (despite the awesome benefits).

Just because people are "jumping ship" to the Note does not mean those people simply want the latest and greatest. Most, if not virtually all, people on here seem to understand that technology moves rapidly and their product is going to be outdated by the next best thing right around the corner. We all know the SIII will be making its debut soon, and we all know it will be better than the current lineup super-phones. That doesn't mean going from the Infuse to the Note will be any less beneficial, because the Note is still a better phone than the Infuse (unless you really hate the size... but then it's like, well you have the SII or the Skyrocket, so no real point there, in my opinion).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bradbusa:
Hey man, no reason to be rude about it. I was asking for an official document that states quad core, 2 GB phones are "right around the corner" as you are implying.

I would be inclined to agree, when the next galaxy s device is released it should blow all current devices out of the water. It is after all the successor; it better rock. but again, the specs you quoted are still rumors and the device has no ETA. So you're basically telling people not to get the current Corvette just because the next one will be better.

For the record, I don't have a note. Not getting one either, but you're argument doesn't really hold water since its based solely on rumor and speculation or user expectation. Not official manufacturer released hardware specs.

No reason to try and make people feel stupid for buying one of the best devices available AT THIS TIME.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Deathmvp:
One thing though to be carful of is that they changed the specs some for the americcan one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] trdsnow:
Honestly with the current cell phone technology , you'll be forever waiting because there will always be a newer and better phone that's 3-4 months away from being released.

I say, get what you like now. If it has the specs, look, feel, and size you like, get it. Then if 3-4 months later quad core phones come out, sell your current phone and get the new one. Simple as that!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skotk13:
I'm not a latest and greatest kind of guy I like my infuse and probably won't upgrade for a while. I trust dman when he says the note is a beast and i can appreciate playing with new toys, but I don't get what the big deal is with the S Pen.

My wife bought a case for her kindle fire that came with a pen and it works on my infuse, so... /shrug I'm just not too excited about a stylus i guess...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] welchertc:
People drooling over quad core phones are just spec hungry. The only advantage may be battery life, but that's a big maybe. More cores draw more power, but do handle heavy multitasking and gaming with better battery life. Seeing as most Android apps don't even take advantage of two core, why the hell are four necessary. By the time apps that utilize four cores are widespread, there will be a whole new generation of devices that are better than the GS3.

Yes, 2 GB of RAM will make the phones buttery smooth and apps launch instantaneously, but here is already barely any lag on my infuse running CM7, and our phones are single cores with less than a gig of RAM.

Until a majority of apps utilize the advantages of quad core processors, buying a phone with four cores is basically like having a 10 inch ****. You may seem impressive to all other guys, but it's not exactly necessary for a majority of sexual encounters. Haha.

Not to mention, unless you plan on buying the international version of the GS3, we won't see it here in the US until the end of the year most likely. Happy waiting to you!

The S Pen is a wacom stylus...way better than the capacitive stylus that came with her fire. Much more accurate, and allows for a lot more functionality. With the button on the S Pen, you have additional features and gestures that make using a stylus actually productive. Capacitive stylii are basically little fingertips. Look at some of the art being produced on a Note, and you will never be able to match that kind of detail with your fingers or a capacitive stylus. This accuracy allows you to actually write legibly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jayson94538:
Unnecessary thread. You know everyone has there own opinions. So why argue. If people want the note, then leave them alone.

Good to c an actual discussion :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thermax04:
what is the best dialer app for note which does not show all the repeated calls in the log?

Example: If I called someone 5 times (continuously) because of busy or not answer, I find in log the call 5 times

Is there any dialer that will show the call 1 time with no. 5 next to it that means that I called this no. 5 times?

I think that HTC Sensation dialer is doing that

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thermax04:
thank you for your reply

I installed V60 from the market, how I can replace the default phone icon from main screen with the exdialer app to be launched instead of the default stock app?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dafreaking:
Rocket Dial Pro is an excellent dialer.

To replace the shortcut if you are using TouchWiz you must open the applications folder and edit items accordingly. Drag the App to the dock. Don't forget to save.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iffamies:
This is the feature I hate the most. Why can't you just drag them by holding...

:confused:

I like the default.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thermax04:
What is better in Rocket Dial Pro than the exDialer? I read the users review on the market and they were negative!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thermax04:
I like the default also (keys size, contacts log name size, the log is divided by days) the only problem with it is the repeated names on log:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thermax04:
After using both of exdialer and Rocketdialer Pro, I loved the Rocketdialer Pro it has everything I want and more
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xvs1100:
I love touchpal dialer. Try it, its free.

Expires today so get it while it's hot.

I got mine already.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vileofmsz:
wow. really tempted to get this over the international version at this price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ap3604:
Does this deal work with "Add a Line to My FamilyTalk Plan" ???

When I click this is still says $299 price =/

Does it FINALLY adjust the price once you put in your social security # for the credit check as part of your checkout? Or does it do it earlier in the transaction?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vileofmsz:
I was having the same problem. I talked to a chat rep and they said I could place an order for new line and then have them combine it to the family account.

Senedra: If you like, you can order the phone with a new plan and combine the line later to the account. What phone are you interested in ordering?

Me: Samsung galaxy Note

Me: Is that possible?

Senedra: Yes, the Samsung Note is $299 with the 2yr contract which is the discounted cost for the phone.

Me: Understood

Me: So if I place an order for a new line, how do I combine the line to my other account?

Me: I have a family plan with 2 lines already

Senedra: Once you call to activate the phone, you can then combine the line then to the account.

Senedra: For now, you can choose the 450 minute plan to checkout with the phone today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
This would be nice but I have one line and only want one(no need for two) but I'm due for an upgrade

Big Dogg Infuse I997 ZeusB5 ICS!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] copualt3:
It still shows 299 as well right before place order.

Edit****

It will work if you choose *new to AT&T and not add a line.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
That sounds fishy but if it was true and you can do that .. damn .. i just made a big mistake :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chichi8:
How can you buy this unlocked and out of contract? It makes you pick a data plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Syclone2530:
Thanks OP! You just saved me $200 over the two notes and new plan I bought from Amazon yesterday....they couldn't even ship with in 24 hours...

:D:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dave*228:
Wow. This looks legit!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esco757:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
Once again ONLY for New or Add a line, NOT upgrade.

Amazon now has $249 for upgrade
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esco757:
Does someone need a comprehension refresher?:confused: That’s why I didn’t start a new post and stated "the same deal" as OP which is new or add line...:confused: You get the discount double check for your response.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
That's the point, I don't want to spend $250 if I could possibly get it for less.

Wish someone could find it at this price including upgrade.

Their just using this tactic with this bad ass phone to get more contracts. Fu kin AT&T

I have tried add line to family plan and add line to my account. Neither has worked :confused:

I attempted New to AT&T and the $149 price comes up.

I placed order, but have reservations if this will work.:eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
I just tried to get an early upgrade due to mine will be next month and I used a promo code and dropped the checkout price to $197 and AT&T screwed me and said they wouldn't give me the upgrade!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lcavada:
BTW, what is the promo code.... i went in from the URL provided earlier. Did not notice the actual promo code value.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
Looked up AT&T promo code and found a $100 off and it would redirect you to the AT&T site

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lcavada:
Has anyone that placed an order today using this promo had their status updated on AT&T online.

I received order confirmation via email at about 5PM East coast time.

The order still does not appear when i do the Order_status check online.

Getting a little concerned now. Maybe too good to be true ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wangjaroni:
This is kinda buggy. You need to go through the link provided there (get deal) and if you make any mistake while checking out, it will revert to the non-deal price. That means you need to remove everything from your cart and start again from the deals link.

I had to do it a few times to get it to work. My phone is in the mail as we speak.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
Sigh...too bad this doesn't apply to upgrades at all.

At least, Amazon has dropped upgrade price to $250...but still hoping it'll drop to $200 within 1 month,.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scotty2hotty1125:
I just got this phone for $149.99 (plus tax) + Free Shipping on an UPGRADE!

I did this by first calling and acting like I wanted to cancel my service (very nicely), and then proceeded to mention the online promotion which gives new customers or add-a-line customers 50% off. I told them I wanted to know if it could be applied to my upgrade. In the end, the retention person said they couldn't discount the phone any more than $299.99, but that the premier center (for customers with a discount) might be able to.

So I hung up and called back, and this time chose to talk to a sales associate that deals with upgrades. I told him what had just happened, and he put me on a couple of holds. A few minutes later, he had the price at $149.99 just like I asked (with supervisor approval). I have NEVER had this work before, and am surprised it did this time.

I asked that he waive my upgrade, and for whatever reason, his system wouldn't allow him to at the moment, but he set up a call back date after I get the phone, and said he will be able to at that point.

Here is part of the email that I got as proof:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eb8806:
It Worked!

It took many many tries but i was finally able to get the 50% discount to show when adding a line. 163 shipped!:D

Thanks for the info:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Buffon00:
I had ordered directly from AT&T at $299 but had not used the phone because I was on a trip (Unopened box). I called AT&T and told them I had seen it at a better price. They said I could order another line and canceled the one I had received before. I went through with it and got it. Got an email for the receipt and another email with MY NEW telephone number. Only bad thing is I got a third email saying that the phone is back ordered and I have to wait. I won't get to play with it right away but saving $150 bucks is worth it for waiting a week more or so (can buy many accessories). Hopefully it wont be long before they ship it. Sending the first phone back today. Thanks for the link.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wangjaroni:
I got the email too that mine was backordered then the same day I got another email saying it was shipped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Buffon00:
just got mine as well. I guess they must have gotten a new batch of phones last night.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lcavada:
NO COMMENTS?

It seems many people took this offer up.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mejori:
ok ..i ended up calling att yesterday ..after an hour and a half ..the best they could do was give me the phone at 274.99 and give me a $100. credit towards my account..its a very long story ..i have 4 phone lines 3 data/voice and one voice only no contract on a family plan... i wanted to activate a new line and transfer the phone number from one line to the new line and cancel the no contract line:confused::confused::confused: they where all confused (dont blame them) end result it could not be done so thats why they offered me the discount..still going to call them today for that $15.:D .. when i try to order online i can not get the 50% because i have an employee discount on my service..(a whopping 8%) these online offers do not apply to "premier accounts) ..wtf:mad: i will get my way ..i always do..i spend almost $3000. a year with them:eek::eek: ..why not!!!:rolleyes:

sale date now says ends feb 24th
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eb8806:
I have a premier account as well. all you have to do is call them and ask to be removed from premier. Then you can qualify for the discount and once you place your order re-register for premier. It would take 1 to 2 billing cycles for the discount to appear again on your bill and it will be back dated to the day you re-registered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mejori:
yea ..tried that route..but they say i can not remove premier because i have different area code and have moved within the last year (different regions) so i am considered a small business.. i dont think the guy knew what he was doing ..i will call again tonight!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dkmack:
ordered yesterday from first link - and got confirmation of processing today from att
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dkmack:
updated status - shipped yesterday - good deal :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lcavada:
After about 36 hours got confirmation of order processing from AT&T. Before that, it stated order not in the system. Calling the order status number was useless, eventually hung you up.

Now also got email saying that both Galaxy Note and Skyrocket are backordered :-(

At least i have good news about the order at 50% off, CONFIRMED.

BTW the same discount also applied to the Skyrocket!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sum1noc:
I had pre-ordered the my GNote back on the 8th, and I got it on the 17th and paid the $299. So after seeing this thread I thought I call up AT&T to see if I could save myself $150.

I first called the AT&T online ordering customer service. I told the the situation and I was told they would escalate my issue and have someone call me back within 72 hours.

I then called AT&T regular customer service and asked them if they would honor the 50% online promotion AT&T has right now for the new activation I just got on the 17th. The CSR put me on hold for a bit and agreed they would give me a $150 credit towards my account. :D

So, thanks for posting this thread!

Hello all,

Hmmph...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuzereroglu:
is that because I am in the wrong thread or because I am a newbie?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
Why? Because you've supplied no real info about your phone or what you've tried doing etc. You've basically said "I tried to flash a ROM and it didn't work. Any idea why?". Not very informative is it?

And it's besides the point anyway. There are literally loads of guides about to help you (Bortak's being a good start). All you need to do is "search".
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The forum rules require to use search. This has been asked and answered many times.

Also there is a big troubleshooting sticky thread in the QA section and yep, its in the wrong section, should be in the QA section.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuzereroglu:
Sure. You are right about the 'no real info' warning. I had to provide it - no questions about that.

Regarding your 'search' comments, I am not a newbie to the 'internet' or 'search'ing. Before I try to login and post a question to any forum I try to make sure I could not find someone else experience the exact problem and a solution for it.

Anyway sorry for wasting your time guys. This thread can be deleted by the mods.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laserlion:
Given the info it can be anything, but in my short experience, when stuck in boot, a full wipe and re-download of the ROM has usually helped..
