Instagram would make u to back to GB? Really? Wow. Why? I have to ask, not trying to sound rude or anything but I don't think any app would make me go back to GB from ICS. Hell I lived without camera on my CM9 for sgs2. Curios
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zer0nine:
Not necessarily make me go back to Gingerbread, I'm just saying that's the only thing that is bugging me to go back to Gingerbread. (I've been on ICS since the leak.) We all have our personal preferences. You for example, probably don't take pictures that often, or you would sacrifice the usage of a camera to run ICS on your phone. (Hell, I would too if my phone was stuck on GB).

With that said, I actually enjoy using Instagram. I'm not that big on using other social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, G+, etc, mainly because a majority of what my friends post on there is just bullsh*t and stupid rants.

I already posted this on a different threads but maybe some people can try it here.

I've had issues with MX Video Player playing 720/1080p mkv files with embedded subtitles. Animes to be exact. There is a terrible audio/video out of sync issue (HW or SW decode). I've tried every ICS rom out there and still no go. I just rolled back to GB and it never had any issues what so ever (I play mostly 1080p). I've tried without subtitles and there is no out of sync issues.

Its just sad :( I never wanted to go back to GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zer0nine:
I don't have any lag while playing 720p videos on HW decoder with video cropped. Perhaps it's the 1080p videos? Maybe you need to convert them, or lower the resolution?

Hey, I just wanted to say that I appreciate this thread and the hook up for ICS.

Im coming from sprint and just switched today from the epic touch gs2 and was running ICS for like 2 months over there.

Im loving this phone of phones and hope to be an asset around these parts. Im a little sad cause I left some good dudes over there and some awesome developers. But, Im looking forward to working over here and bieng a part of the Note's community!

Thanks again!

great thread idea! just a quick question:

regarding the AOSP Messaging - I really like this messenger on my Captivate and Atrix, but there is one thing i do really like about the Note messenger, which is the screen split. (below)

I don't suppose this messenger has this feature does it?

You guys should give SPB shell 3d a go. It's not ICS only but it is the BEST launcher I have tried yet and this includes apex, nemus, nova, and sslauncher ice optimized launchers. $15 on Play but well, well worth it for the best launcher there is.

Hi guys am I the only one who simply cannot get Netflix to work with these new ICS builds. All that happens is we get a black screen with sounds.

Does anyone have or know of a workaround for this? and is anyone else having this issue?

Many thanks

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mumboender:
It is a problem with all the AOSP based ics roms. All the touchwiz based roms it plays perfect, but you give up tablet mode as these roms have no tablet mode..so ics midnote, criskelo, rocket rom work fine, but no imelka, stunner, etc....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SirWalrus:
Good man much obliged to you!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leletyM3:
This is pretty sad, I haven't tried Netflix yet on my ICS note and didn't know that it is not working! Hopefully the official ICS will come out soooon!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mumboender:
Don't let it discourage you. Just use a TW based rom until AOSP gets it figured out...in fact I'm using Midnote 3.1 at 265 dpi so Netflix is in the tablet mode...I use it all the time and have no issues...

I was on Rocket Rom and then Criskelo, but Midnote based on3.1 is significantly faster everywhere...and it's very stable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SirWalrus:
cool

Yeah I just installed rocket ROM 1.5 and everything works now.I have used all others except midnote because the install instructions are just too daunting. This is perfect for me, working s notes also

It seems that every new phone coming out on Sprint has a 4.5 or 4.7" screen. I felt like the size of the OG evo was great. It sucks that those of us who don't want to carry around a tablet have no other options except an iphone or a 'dumbphone'.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firehawk_1066:
I kinda agree. I dont mind the screen getting bigger as long as the housing isnt bigger then the OG EVO. I will wait for the HTC One S instead as it is more along the same size as the Evo 4g
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.BungIe:
Given...

That they (the euphemistic they) are packing so much more horse-power under the hood of the newer phones, jamming in as many features as we demand, PLUS innovating a few more that we didnt even know we wanted PLUS awesome "cinema-like" displays is the reason phones are getting larger.

I understand your point, but we are demanding laptops in our pockets and thats what they are giving us.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
Except much more and they won't fit in our pockets anymore.

My Evo is already a little uncomfortable and barely fits in some of my pockets.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.BungIe:
With any sort of hard case, it is just a tiny bit smaller than a brick in your pocket.

Is that your phone or are you happy to see me? :eek:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well people want bigger screens to do more, and see more. For gaming is nice, and a lot of people watch movies/stream on their phones, so that's a plus. In addition, you can have a bigger virtual keyboard which will make it easier. I'm 6'4 and have massive hands so not an issue here, but if you're 'tiny,' a big phone like that could be an issue.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovekeiiy:
exactly as stated earlier, they're easier to web browse, game, watch movies/tv, office programs and so forth. I get sick of having to constantly hit zoom or hold the phone a foot from my face.

I like the size of the Samsung Note.

Yes, bigger may not be pocket friendly. And it may look redicously while actually using the phone, but how many people use the phone more than text/IM or ear piece?

The one knock, can't exactly hide the fact you're using the phone while driving down the road.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cas8180:
I agree with the screens getting way to big and out of control. I mean just look at how well the iPhone has done and it has a 4inch form factor! I think the bigger we allow these devices to get we will start crossing the lines between tablets and laptops and start loosing some mobility factors. I think these manufacturers should remember these devices.are still a phone at heart.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
The gNote isn't that bad size wise. I'm 6'7 and my wife is 5'4 and she has very petite hands and we can both use it just fine, even with her hand being less than half the size of mine(she can put her open hand on my palm and I can close my fingers over her whole hand without her bending her fingers) my evo actually was difficult for me to use without either a case or an extended battery, my et4g is almost the perfect size, but with as thin as it is I could stand to have it either slightly larger or a tad thicker, I use a shell to thicken it up a bit. The note naked however fits my hands perfectly, and I can navigate the entire thing one handed, and the smart stylus is just awesome you can draw, write and erase very easily with it. However if the phones get as big as my kindle fire they will be too big but as long as they stay in the 5" range give or take a few 10ths of an inch they will be just fine, you should actually try out the note before you knock its size, I guarantee you will want to own one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
And every iPhone owner I know wants a bigger screen, who wants to have to sit their phone on their nose, or scroll all around to read something :rolleyes: ifans deal with that microscopic 3.5" screen because they have too not because they want too, if there was a bigger iPhone I guarantee u it would outsell every 3.5" I phone by more than double

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
I don't mind it being bigger while surfing, but it looks silly while using it as a phone.

My problem is that while I don't expect to look like I just rolled out of a Paris fashion show, I'm NOT wearing parachute pants or cargo pants just so I can carry my phone when I don't want to carry a bag. If it can't fit into a pair of daily wear jeans, then it's too darn big.

As for the Iphone, it's a big phone for the screen size (compared to an Evo) so I don't blame Iphone users for wanting more.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minjin:
The fashion argument is a funny one because I thought we were past that as a society. It wasn't that long ago that we thought holding this up to your ear was perfectly normal:

Some people think all cell phone use is silly and that you should just wait till you get home to make a call. Worrying about what is different from the current norm and worrying about people judging you because you are doing something outside of the current norm is silly if anything is.

I disagree the iPhone was introduced in 2007 and the form factor has not changed much at all . No where near the dramtic changes we have scene in the android devices space. I still really like the 4inch form factor I actually had an honor for a little bit and loved it but it went tits up. But the 4inch form factor was very nice and hardly noticed it in my pocket. The 4.3 of the EVO isn't too bad but the sizes of the new devices coming out is just out of control. If you want a device that big just get a tablet and be done with it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:

Even though I feel this thread is somewhat irrelevant, I'll play.

I think the 4.3 of Evo is just right, honestly. I'm a bit worried that 4.7 is gonna be a bit of a stretch. But I'm getting the Evo lte, nonetheless.

Also, comment about being 2nd class citizen on android is patently absurd. The devices and tech available to us on android platform is far and beyond crapple development. What a ridiculous comment. And as others have said (EVIL-KONCEPTZ), if a bigger iPhoney was available, it'd sell 3x as much. I tried playing with an iPhone at sprint one day, I couldn't even find my way around it. It was totally foreign , didn't make sense and not user friendly at all. Suck it, apple. :cool:

5-5.5" is nice anything 6+" is getting too big since I already have a 7" tablet. Now if the phone was bezelless 6" or slightly larger with on-screen keys a la gNex I'd be down but until the bezel is removed a 6" phone would be just a lil too big against my head. If i bought one I'd have to do the Bluetooth route instead of holding a copy of harry Potter to my ear

PS just for a little reference this is my of evo sitting on a belt holster for the note, notice the outer dimensions of the case aren't drastically larger than the evo, and there's extra room for material thickness etc plus the case being slightly larger to allow a tpu/shell to fit with the phone
