[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonWolf:
Keep the Note, no contest here.

Assuming the same screen problems, same black rendering problems, etc, why the hell would you keep the Nexus? Only reason I can think is the size.

Whatever the Nexus gets, the Note would probably get 3 ~ 5 months after. Is that such a big wait?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xvs1100:
first i wanted a nexus, but missing a sd-slot to me it's a absolutely no go. so i've purchased a note, and now i wouldn't give it away anymore. to me ics wasn't that advantage compared with gb, and now the update is around the corner.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CHorden:
Honestly?

After using the Note for a few weeks, every other phone on the market feels like a child's toy in my hand. Small and insignificant. The build quality is superior to the Nexus, and the screen cannot be beat.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay-Taicho:
There's only 1 possible reason you wouldn't choose the Note. And that is it's too big for you. On paper, the Note beats the Nexus hands down. Especially after rooting and installing a speedy custom rom. Easy decision I rekon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robifis:
I am in the process of selling the Nexus. I have considered all your input and I greatly appreciate it.

The note is better than the Nexus full stop. I have large hands so the size doesn't really bother me as I am hardly "on the phone" anyway.

I mostly use it for sms and emails so phoning is not an issue.

Thank you for your input and feel free to close the thread or keep the "argument" going.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Theyre both great phones. If you ok with the size then the Note is better if not then Nexus simple as that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamafr001:
The note is well above the nexus is the only thing good is that the nexus has ics but once the notice to actulice ics will be well above the nexus

Hello,

I have a SE Xperia Mini Pro that I'm trying to root

It's a pay as you go simlocked to the UK O2 network (ie I bought the phone and would like to feel like I actually own it)

O2 will not provide me with an unlock code for another 10 months.

The Configuration screen says Bootloader unlock allowed: no

The Wotan solution will not work (I tried) due to the manufacture date being too recent (as I understand it - my phone says 12w20)

I just want to be able to access my phone, use it, get rid of bloatware and use it as a testing device for apps.

I don't care about any software or data on the phone being deleted.

I am aware that rooting a device invalidates the guarantee.

The question is: can anyone point me to a reasonably failsafe method that will allow me to root the device or flash the firmware in order to liberate the phone from the shackles of this senseless tyranny? (and really bad games) I have been banging my head in circles on the world wide internet for a while now.

For example, will the SETOOL method work? Would any other info about the phone be helpful?

Please let me know. Thank you!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zamboney:
In the spirit of several Infuse owners coming to the Galaxy Note forums trying, but failing miserably, to convince people that the Note isn't really an upgrade, I'm asking you guys: when are you switching phones to the superior in all aspects and huge upgrade to the Infuse that the Note is?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbaddonVH:
That ugly Super AMOLED PenTile display still puts me in doubt. Maybe when Samsung releases a Note with a Super AMOLED Plus IPS display I'll be more interested. I'm baffled as to why they'd take such a big step back in technology for the screen on this phone. Sure it's 1280x800 and 285 PPI but even my old Captivate looks better when it comes to colors and lack of artifacts. I'm still waiting for an HD SAP screen, 1080p would be even better.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
You are totally off base... mine is in hand, 1200x800 the colors are more bright and sharp than my infuse or cappy .... 1.4 gb processor, able to oc to 1.83 with the custom kernel we have. UCLA1 2.3.6 stock firmware with official ics coming in march, it will decimate the gnexus. Its 10 times the phone of a cappy or infuse... best Samsung smartphone they've released. And just wait til the collective gets done with it... :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mariusvt:
It's a great looking phone spec wise, but for me it's just too big. If it was a 4.5" device i'd be all over it but I don't want a phone any bigger than that due to personal preferences and how I carry it (see front pants pocket). I stopped by a store and tried it out, but there was no way it was comfortably going in there.

IMO anyway, after the screen passes the 5" mark, to me it's more of a small tablet than a phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
You guys have fun with your note's :p. By the time I get a new phone, the galaxy s IV will be out lol. *waiting*
[Samsung Infuse 4G] welchertc:
You're going to be waiting a long time my friend. It will be the end of the year before the US receives their GS3 variants, so probably yet another year after that until the GS4 is released over here. I suppose it will be like a year and a half until the international GS4 is released, but that's still decently optimistic.

I guess I am sort of lucky that while I'm on my parents plan I get a new phone every year because they just let me use their upgrades and take my old phones once I'm done. My mom is on my iPhone 3g and my dad is on my captivate. This summer, I will be using my dad's upgrade to get the note. Who knows, maybe the international GS3 will necessitate that I buy that instead, however I highly doubt it will win me over vs. the Note.

And mods, don't close this thread like all of the others. We want to talk to our fellow infusers about a specific phone. Just let there be one thread, when we're gone, it will die naturally.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crash822:
No plans on getting note. Too big and not elligible for an upgrade

Sent from my Samsung Infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] welchertc:
May I ask how you figure it is too big? I just don't see much logic in anybody's argument for this.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] verticae:
It's a very simple practical issue: If I can't sit down comfortably with the phone in my pocket, it's annoying. If I can't comfortably hold the phone the way I want to, it's annoying. When I can't hold it up to my head without feeling like I'm wearing half a helmet, it's annoying.

I'm not buying a phone that annoys me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] welchertc:
Have you tried sitting down with one in your pocket? I really don't think it's as cumbersome as you would think. That is unless you wear girl jeans or nuthuggers? But with either of those the infuse is too big anyways.

And how would you hold it that you can't with your infuse? Yes it's bigger, but is there really a time when one handed use is absolutely necessary and can't wait for another free hand?

Lastly, why be so self conscious about holding it up to your head? I guarantee nobody will judge you negatively for it, and even if they do, what's the difference? They're strangers.

Not really trying to argue, I guess I just see a lot of people passing on such a great device and I don't get it.

Plus, when you are ready to upgrade, what's the harm in giving it a try for 30 days?

I've done a search and seen that this has come up a few times but haven't really found a suitable answer...

Can the stupid recipient limit of 10 on the stock SMS app be removed and also the converting to MMS when the message is 3 text messages long potentially could cost me a fortune...

I know i can download Go SMS and various others but i really like the stock SMS program, either that or if i download something like Go sms can i replace the stock SMS in the touchwiz shortcuts..

Hope that all makes sense

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanisdlj:
Hi!

The very first thing, sorry if I am asking something so obvious, but I am new with this >.<

When I bought my HTC Hero it comes with 1.5 (or 1.6...? don't know), I think MoDaCo ROM. I am explaining this because I have a LOT of problems to change the ROM because looks like it has the recovery system crashed. Finally I had this one (look at the link deleting blank spaces -.-U) and everything is going fine, I can flash and everything.

i756.photobucket.com / albums / xx209 / erisuser1 / Amon_RA_stuff / Main_sel_BackupRestore.jpg

My question is: As I understood, AmonRa or ClockWorkMod replace this system (or are this system). Whats the difference between both of them? After the big ammount of problems I had, I don't know if I want to really replace this recovery for other one :S.

And what is the advantadges to got one of them? Is something like GRUB with distros in Linux? I am asking this because in my actual ROM (EleLinux 7.1) I have some options related with it, but I am not pretty sure what can I do with it.

Thank you very much!! ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mljjlm:
I prefer AmonRA on my hero, but in the end I don't think there is a real difference for the end user, except for the layout and the confirm method
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenpin:
I feel that clockwork is far more user friendly, and with regards to the features and differences of both, they're pretty much the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanisdlj:
I am asking because my ROM comes with ROM Manager and it asks for ClockWorkModRecovery... but I am pretty happy with AmonRa >,<

The point is, ROM Manager looks really nice (the "Update your ROM" option, if works, would be great!), but I don't know if it's worthwhile...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mljjlm:
I don't think that this phone does get that many updates. And even if it does, most developers aren't putting their roms onto clockworkmod-servers :) But you can try it out, there's always a way back ;)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mutiny:
Anyone tried it yet? Lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ParaTr00per:
and what do you think? :D

allready running with unlocked bootloader ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mutiny:
I just read the other threads (I should have before asking --lol) and I've come to the conclusion that right now, at least for me, it's not worth unlocking yet. Here are my reasons:

1. There are zero development on the Prime as of now, so why unlock besides to void warranty?

2. If you do unlock and knock-on-wood something happens to your Prime before we get CM9 or other roms, what do you do?

3. Unless you're a dev or someone who is fairly knowledgeable/confident in your rom-development skills, what are you going to do with your unlocked Prime?

Are there any advantages I'm missing? I'm not sure if anyone agrees with me, but that's how I feel right now. Note that I am not at all gun shy about dumping my warranty for the real good stuff. Like many here, all Android phones I've ever owned, including my entire family's Android phones and tablets (also my other tablet --a Xoom) are rooted with custom roms and recoveries.

I advised those who don't develop or don't know much about rooting to not try this. There are just too many "what-ifs" against this method. For example, what if someone comes up with a way to unlock that doesn't go through Asus? By some miracle, if that happens, everyone who uses Asus' unlock will have a very iffy device with no warranty coverage whatsoever. Just a thought.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jermaine151:
Right this minute, it's not necessary to unlock. However, my guess is that in less than a day we'll have a ClockworkMod version for the prime and you will need an unlocked bootloader to utilize it. This will allow you to make a full backup of your device (stock) and have a good backup plan should you run into issues in the future with an OTA, etc. The roms will be coming very soon. :)

If I remeber correctly, you're not able to use google music with an unlocked bootloader, because of the DRM security.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Itaintrite:
Asus delivers in the end. Cheers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ScottIsMyName:
The obvious question that I haven't seen asked yet...will it be possible to develop a tool to lock your bootloader again? If the bootloader can be unlocked with an apk file, there should at least be hope to lock it again by reversing whatever the apk did.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] barryflanagan:
Very doubtful. It appears to "call home" prior to doing the unlock, and after asking you for your Google or pin credentials so it is basically storing the information with Asus that your prime is unlocked. Even if there were some way of covering the tracks on the local device, Asus still knows you did it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
So it says ICS is required for the unlock. Once it is unlocked, if a dev creates a nice stock rooted Honeycomb zip, could it be flashed or would that be something you should avoid?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] barryflanagan:
ICS requirement is only for the tool itself. Probably to ease the development/testing effort for Asus

I don't know why you would want HC over ICS myself, but there is nothing to stop someone creating a HC rom, or even a Gingerbread one if they were so inclined.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mick3444:
So does this tool root the device as well as unlock the boot loader, or must I root before unlocking?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Khyrdantai:
Probably going to wait a while before I fully trust that my Prime won't have hardware problems in the future before I do this. Once the ROMs become irresistible, I'll think about it. (Or if someone possibly develops an unlocker that doesn't flag your device.)
