[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] whatsaqazza:
Wouldn't be a huge competitor I think, at least for me. The screen would draw massive amounts of power being non-pentile for 5in. Not to mention its also a 1080p screen taking up even more battery for the GPU. So you'd need a huge battery which would make the device heavy and bulky. The krait chip is ok on power consumption, but I still think quad-core, unless there was webtop, is unnecessary. Especially since the a15 dual cores fly and have better power consumption. But then again it's a selling point to some people to have the best of the best. What I want is a Note2 with basically everything the curent has, but the

Exynos 5250 (2.0 dual core cortex a15). I'd like to see an upgraded Mali to go along with it, although they're power as it is anyways. Along with some other small things like LED notification, 12mp camera, and maybe a more accurate stylus (it can be off by 3mm sometimes for me). I would probably buy it quickly then.

Nah, I don't want LCD TFT screen after Super Amoled. Why don't use it?! Even Motorola now use Super Amoled.

Competition of 5" smartphones is a good thing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] darkinners:
If HTC still uses qualcomm CPU, I don't think I will move back to HTC.

I used to be HTC fanboy, really love HTC sense's integration, best proprietary Launcher/UI/framework among ALL android devices, I didn't even feel like I need to root nor change launcher when I was using HTC devices

BUT HTC really has a loose end on hardware spec. when I was going to upgrade my HTC Desire, I was choosing between HTC sensation and Samsung Galaxy SII.

Sensation was a HUGE disappointment to me, sluggish control, pitiful hardware spec as a flagship product. I ended up got the SII.

SII has superb hardware, everything was SO smooth and fast but the touchwiz is a major let down to me. I always hope one day I could use HTC sense on Samsung devices(which now I understand it will never happen)

Now I have Note, still the touchwiz is a real bugger but now I flashed ICS Stunner with Apex launcher, only thing I miss is the function S-Pen with S-memo. the rest are excellent. still not as good as SenseUI for my taste but close enough.

IF new HTC's Note competitor can have the smoothness operation like Samsung's device and retain the ability of SenseUI.

I will move back to HTC in a heartbeat.

I honestly don't like to flash rom, fix this fix that. I like good proprietary stuffs, maybe I am getting old, I don't like to geek around like I used to. I just want to have a phone that works for my taste at the first day I bought it, no mods, no flash.

sorry for the long post. Just my little thoughts :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] matius44:
Well if the screen is S-LCD2 like the one on the One X then I'll seriously consider it..

Sense is the best UI out there, period (IMHO of course)

But I agree with @whatsaqazza, I'll take dual core A15 over quad core A9 any day, and it's obvious in One S vs One X that it has better performance and better battery life as well

Let's wait and see :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Geekybiker:
Most of the high end devices are fast enough these days. I'd rather see more effort spent on power savings. I'd like to be able to beat the heck out of my device for a good 16 hours and still come home with 20% battery left. Dual core is fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JoJo2211:
What's up with all the "Sense UI" love? I upgraded from an iPhone to my first android phone -- an HTC Evo 4g. I absolutely loved it over the dumb iPhone. Then I upgraded to the Dell Streak 5 because I wanted a bigger phone. I later grew out of it got an HTC Inspire, once again I was a happy camper. So at that point, I decided I would never go back to another NON-HTC phone... until, my friend showed me the new Samsung Infuse 4G.. after playing with it a few mins, I was in LOVE with it! I couldn't believe what I was missing out on, the TouchWiz UI of Samsung made the Android experience even better! The next day I sold mine on craigslist and got me a brand new Infuse 4G off of ebay and have ever since become a fan of Samsung. Even today, after trying out a few Roms and custom launchers from the Market, I always end up coming back to my beloved TouchWiz UI. It is absolutely the best! I just can't stand using my phone without TouchWiz. It's that good!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
I ****ing love my Note, but even I can't find a single argument in favour of tw over sense? Sense is just the most polished launcher anywhere.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
I tried HTC HD2 and Wildfire about 2-3 months. Touchwiz is crap but Sense is worse, I really don't understand it and I don't like this UI style. It is almost impossible to customize. Very bad that all manufactors spit on Google offer a choice for users to choose Android stock interface or using inconvenient unpolished manufacturer UI, which add so many troubles and eat many % of battery and RAM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] crawlgsx:
Personally I hate sense. I find TouchWiz smoother, sadly. TouchWiz may lack the feature set or polish, but actual USE is smoother/quicker.

That said it is irrelevant for me until HTC switches screens. Those Pentile LCD's are just ugly IMO.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vcespon:
Same situation than in the ultrabook field. Yeah, there are Core i7, quad-core, 3.4 GHz parts, and GPUs with 2 GB dedicated RAM, but that on a small and thin device only means 2 hr battery life, chasis and keyboard hot as hell and noisy fan that breaks twice a year.

I keep using my Galaxy Note on power savings mode, and when I buy a new laptop, I'll make sure it has an Ivy Bridge ULV chip (17 W TDP). I do not run anything that requieres so much power and I do not like hot and noisy things on my hands for hours.

That may be OK on a gaming desktop, with plenty of fans and away from you under a desk, but not on a portable device. Look at the people complaining about the new chip on the New Ipad. Just selling GHz is not the point nowadays.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raghav1980:
I can't believe how much people like Sense & Touchwizz.

I think that the best skin over android is Sony's. I just bought an Xperia S for my dad & absolutely love the live wallpaper, the weather widget & the overall skin on the settings list etc. Seriously, nothing else compares IMHO.

That being said, I personally never had a HTC Phone, but have played with a friend's one for a while. I felt that neither Sense nor Touchwizz was really good enough.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
Once you are on AOSP or CM9, you don't want to go back to TouchWiz. Also, I coudn't stand Blur while on my Motorola Atrix. I was happy to become "blur-less". I have a friend who has a HTC and they were happy to become "sense-less" as well. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rlaw:
You have literally no idea what you're talking about when it comes to screen technology.

Also, your eyesight must not be exemplary or you would have noticed the phone you tapped this out on uses a pentile subpixel arrangement. ;-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bracken21:
1080p on a 5" screen ? .. would that be something like 450ppi ? I find that a stupid waste on battery power on something that tbh, can we really tell with a 5" screen.. I would have opted for a 720p screen to cut cost and save battery.

I could be completely wrong..im just guessing

Bracken
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] whatsaqazza:
I completely agree, but you have people who just want "the best". 1080p is overdoing it, 720p is perfect for 5.3in IMO.

I'll still get the Note 2. Why?

- Exynos

- SAMOLED (Maybe Plus this time Sammy?)

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartoi:
I would get that over the Note or Note 2 (assuming it has the same specs as the S3). 1080p screen is w/e, but that quad core S4 Pro can probably handle it very well, especially with ICS.

Snapdragon S3 is pathetic, Snapdragon S4 is better than Tegra 3. Snapdragon S4 Pro (has the newer Adreno 320 GPU) will probably be king until Exynos 5, and a quad core S4 Pro will probably be the best SoC out this year.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZDJedi:
Hey,

I have a Galaxy from Telus. I currently have Darky 10.2.2 but am experiencing slowness that I can't explain. I would like to give the stock ROM a try or possibly even a different custom ROM altogether...but I don't have the time to do all teh research and blah blah.

Anybody in Toronto willing to do this for me for a few bucks?

Thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacekobra:
Not Toronto but close, and I'd say I've gotten good at doing it. Its not hard to install a ROM once you have root btw. But if need be I guess I could do it.

Some Custom Kernels replace the original Bootanimation because Custom Bootanimation Support. So here is the Original as a Encoded Zip-Version.

THIS IS THE FINAL LAGFREE-VERSION FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S PLUS.

if you want to make it smoother, just read this . but i have modified the desc.txt and for me it looks like original ;)

perherps it is necessary to rename in sanim.zip or bootanimation.zip

1. look in your folder /system/media for sanim.zip or bootanimation.zip

2. note permissions

3. replace with new zip and set noted permissions

4. be happy.

download with smooth fps settings attached (dont forget to click the thanks-button ;) )

[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
Is there anyway to record calls on the Rezound? On my Galaxy S with custom ROMS I think it was pretty standard with them. Every ROM I ran had that feature, just had to push the record button while on a call and it recorded the call.

Thanks!

UPDATE: I've tried a couple of call recording apps from the Marketplace and they dont work either. Apparently the Kernel has to support it. Seems like the only kernel that does is Ziggy's. But it appears to be an old kernel, its 5 months old (12/2011) so I assume it wont work on ICS ROMs. Does anybody have and info on any other kernels that possibly support this that are newer and will work with the new ICS ROMS??

Hey All--

Just thought we could collect some shared wisdom here about what kernels people use, and why.

For me, I've been switching between the newest Faux and the newest Franco and can't decide. I care about (in order)

1)Battery life

2)Smoothness

So...what are your thoughts? Share your wisdom for all of the newbies coming in!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] GuestK00359:
I have a strange issue with my G2x. A couple of months ago I was trying to sync my music with my phone and the computer wouldn't recognize the phone as a disk drive. At first I chalked it up to the computer I was using at is was old and hadn't been rebuilt in quite a while. I had installed the LG USB drivers already, but just for kicks and grins I installed them again. Still nothing. I decided to rebuild my computer and reinstall the LG USB drivers. Still nothing. The phone charges, but Win 7 doesn't see it.

Fast forward to yesterday. I want to restore my phone to stock so I can get the new BB & stock 2.3.4. I installed the APX driver and when I plug the phone in, I get an error code 10 in Device Manager - the device cannot start. I researched that and found nothing helpful. I tried using another computer that I know used to work with that phone, still nothing. I tried the LG Phone updater - it can't find the phone either. I also tried the KDZ updater - it can't find the phone either (even with the phone in Software Update mode). I also tried several different USB cables.

The phone is rooted and I can change between ROMs with no issues, provided I pull the SD card and copy the ROM to that, or download it directly to the phone.

I think the USB port on the phone is hosed. Any suggestions on how to get the updated BB & 2.3.4 on my phone so I can get a warranty replacement?

[edit] - I am on Windows 7 64 bit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
Do you have USB debugging turned on in Settings, Applications, Development? That may help get connected to the Win7 PC.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GuestK00359:
Yeah - USB debuggin is on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rrroach:
I had the same problem a little while ago. The solution for me was to install the drivers throught the updater application available on T-Mobile's website. I'm not sure why directly installing the drivers doesn't work, but that's just how it is for some people, apparently.

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

Oh, and turn debugging OFF
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daygen4545:
Yeah, i would turn off usb debugging, as then you can't get to USB Mass Storage. I would also try uninstalling and reinstalling the LG USB Drivers, and then try it again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GuestK00359:
I have tried all manners of the solutions presented. Installing drivers from the LG Update tool, from the LG website, with and without USB debugging, with and without the SD card (saw that somewhere else). The more I work on it, the more I believe the USB port is bad. Thank goodness I can still charge it. The guy at the T-mobile store states I can get a new phone in 3 months. So I think I will just live with it for the time being.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rrroach:
What ROM are you on? I remember having problems with some of the ICS ones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jaywillsoul:
Kinda shocked no one said did you make sure you have USB set for mass storage? Thats usually the most common thing to miss. If your using ICS I'm gonna take the guess of HFS? Which i know for a fact he posted the update morfic kernel so you can use mass storage. If your not using HFS, then you should try it first and then worry about the USB.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GuestK00359:
This is ROM independent. I've used pretty much all ROMS for the G2x, most recently Owain's ICS, Weapon and right now HFP - all experience this issue. As stated in the original post, though, it doesn't work with the APX drivers when trying to flash CWM or go back to stock. No matter which ROM, when plugging in to Windows, there is not the distinctive sound that a device has been added.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jaywillsoul:
Check your device manager in the properties (open computer, right click, selct properties, should be the first or second option on the right side, will open in a new window). Open the option all the way at the bottom and you should see something like USB ADB storage device. If its there then you should be able to access it. USB debug and USB mass storage should both be on, try adding "allow mock locations," and if none of the above work, try doing it the old fashioned way. Get the Micro SD adaptor and plug it into the computer that way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ejbmvp:
can anyone shed some light on what exactly Mobile Data On/Off does? I turned Mobile Data off and yet i still can make/receive calls, send/rcv texts, access inet, access the market, receive vmail notifications.

Also, GB allowed to turn "background data" off, which really helped preserve battery life by hours. Is there any type of option for this in ICS. turning background data off had the effects of stopping vmail notifications, wouldnt allow access to the market while off, and basically blocked alot of apps constantly updating

thanks

It allows you to keep up with your data usage .....if on it will show how much you have used and warn u if your coming close to what you set as a limit ....would be great on a carrier that throttles or you only have say 5 gb ..... All you have to do is go into system settings and scroll down to accounts and sync under personal and turn it off whatever you don't want to sync

Well mobile data on/off should do just that. Toggle your mobile data on and off.

[Off-topic] EP2008:
I wanted to hear opinions on a situation I'm in over a headset. Basically, my wife is treating me like I'm being a criminal and I don't understand why.

Long story short...

I purchased a popular Bluetooth headset from Amazon. It's a new item sold through a third party company, like many Amazon products are. Well, the thing doesn't work right, so I called the manufacturer who flat out refused to RMA the headset, so, thinking I was screwed, I emailed the seller and let them know what was going on. To my surprise they said they would send me another headset.

Today, I get an E-mail from the manufacturer saying they will now be sending a replacement headset and I would have to return the defective one back to them, which was expected.

Now, I have no intention of keeping two working headsets, since I only paid for one, so I called the manufacturer to cancel the RMA and explained that the retailer would be sending me a replacement.

Now my wife is treating me like I'm trying to scam someone, but I don't see how I could this any different. The manufacturers was quite convincing that I would not be getting a replacement and then surprised me this morning when they said a new one is on the way.

Was I wrong in any of this? I try to live my life without lying or cheating and have lost a lot of money because of this honesty, but I had no intention of scamming anyone over a headset.
[Off-topic] greeky510:
Not much you could have done differently. Maybe try the seller first but that's not the point. It's not your fault she took it the wrong way. Is she PMSing a bit?

No matter who dents you the replacement you will need to return them a defective one, otherwise they will charge you the new one plus shipping.
