[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] heavyharmonies:
I'm awaiting delivery of my unlocked SGN tomorrow. I played with one of the AT&T versions in the local store and was sold.

Coming at it from a slightly different perspective: as someone who is closing in on age 50 and whose eyes aren't what they used to be, a bigger screen is better.

Also, I've never been able to effectively use virtual keyboards easily, having fat clumsy fingers. Now hopefully, I'll have a phone with a virtual keyboard that's actually usable...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drilym:
For me the Galaxy Note isn't too big, I'm 1,85m (6 feet) tall and I can do most things with just one hand including typing with Swype. I can reach the notification bar and the settings button. With the new stock ICS you can use the One-handed operation in settings/system, it it decreases the size of the dialer, keypad, calculator and unlock pattern. The only thing I cant reach with just one hand is the Wi-Fi button on the notification bar.

Some people say that it is too big for normal jeans and I disagree, it fits comfortably in all my jeans. I only can't fit it in the back pocket of two of my bermudas.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bytchslappa:
Short Answer - No - the phone rocks :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
after 1 month galaxy note on youtube...

i completely agree with the video poster..

at first you might thnk its big, but when it fits in your lifestyle, its looks smaller...:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] freedomispopular:
I'm 5'9", my hands aren't particularly large, and I have no problem using it. Without a case in it, I have no issue using it one handed, but even with the bulky case I use, it's silk not too much of a problem. Though I tend to use two hands most of the time because using the s-pen is so much smoother than my finger.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ConvertedtoAndroid:
Once you go Note, there is no turning back. I just cant look at a smaller screen now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] plwndrsngh:
The phone is not that big but some people make jokes of big screen but I ignored them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ouzo:
I've been using my girlfriend's Note for about two weeks now and I love it. My own device , a Sensation, feels like a little toy in comparison - it's hilarious how quick you adapt. My only criticism so far is that it really lacks some oomph in certain situations, such as when outputting to a tv via MHL. Clearly it's because it's pushing so many more pixels around than my phone, but it's very noticeable. I'm hoping that once it has ICS on it things will improve.

Over here in the UK the Note has fallen in price massively compared to at launch so that makes it cheaper than the One X. Guess it depends how you're buying it. I may very well wait until the next Note comes out then buy one myself, as long as it has good performance in all the scenarios I use it in.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Abagnale:
Bigger = Better ! ask your girlfriend :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] willstay:
I use Swype and this is the most relaxed form of typing at full speed. Bigger the screen more Swype distance. I was able to Swype faster in tiny Nokia N8.

Sent from GNote.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Th3Aaron:
LOL!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jangwl:
The note will work perfectly fine on teens. Imagine about using the S Pen to take quick notes. Manage your schedule on a large screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adamski123:
Yeh the note is now just 380 on amazon!! Compared to 530 at launch :L

DO it noooowwwww :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ouzo:
It was only £365 the other day I think. I was seriously tempted.

No sd card slot on the One X either. 64 GB SXDC works in the Note (re-formated to fat 32 of course), so.that's a whole lot of, um, music storage etc. Ahem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adamski123:
Yeh ikr!

DO it noooowwwww :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dbreloaded:
The size of the device is countered by its slimness...

I just got the Note and was also worried about the size. I find that it is actually really nice to carry around with you because it is so slim. In terms of transportation, its not great in tight jeans but possible. I dont see carrying it around being a problem as people carry books and notepads etc which are much bigger and heavier. Defo the best phone/tablet i have used.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ultramag69:
Lets be honest, the size of the screen is the major reason most note users bought it... ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nuclearmonkeyuk:
Was for me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BBFreak:
Not too big at all. I thought the same thing when I ordered it but got it and after a day or so of shock I would not ever go back. My old iPhone 4 looks so small now. I think I seen it humping the leg of my Note :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] artybee:
View it as a small tablet - not a big phone. It's big enough and the screen is high def enough to do everything that you can do on a full size tablet, yet it fits in a pocket. I've had mine for 3 months and for me it's the perfect compromise. Only thing I can't do is sit down with it still in my jeans !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
It's only a problem if you're not man enough to handle it!

If you are comfortable with an S2, it should be fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cmatic2:
I bought the note predominantly for the screen size. It did seem large and unwieldy for the first couple of days, but it was surprising how quickly I got used to it! Most phones seem puny now and I wonder if I will ever be able to move to anything smaller. Having said that please invest in a proper case/protection - the wallet ones will come at the cost of single-handed operation.

I wish the camera was a tad better though. The output is rather grainy for a supposedly 8megapixel shooter!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zekurosu:
i sold S2 and bought Note ... nuff said haha :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
we did the same...:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nuclearmonkeyuk:
I personally find 3rd party camera apps produce a better picture.. And I think possibly the drivers may have changed in ics as lpy seems to produce a better picture on stock too
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Blackwatch:
I was used to using my SGS II which i still love and at first the note did seem a little large however in a few days I was used to it. Now the SGS II seems very small by comparison.

Heres my first phones which make the note seem tiny lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nuclearmonkeyuk:
Haha love the pics :p just noticed your username.. Army?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Blackwatch:
Lol my user name is a long story lol but in a nutshell I own/run a FPS PC community and we have a few lads who are ex-forces ( SBS ) and also a few of the lads are currently on active deployment. So Its a little homage to them as they are people whom I have the utmost respect for :)

Ah fair enough.. I know from my time in the paras that black watch is one hell of an infantry unit in Scotland.. Proper mentalists lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TomFrom:
Its perfect, its all other phones that are to small! i found streight away in the o2 store that its no wider than my wallet. So far i bloody love this phone!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adamski123:
Thats true i guess. Im leaning towards black over white. But we will see ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tystar:
Same reason as everyone else was the reason I got the note. Screen size. Got to admit I would find it v.dificult to go to any other phone now because of this. The misses iphone 4 seems way to small, how I managed with 1 is beyond me lol. Got the white 1 as I prefer white phones. Camera has been awsome on mine no issues at all on GB or ICS.

Would recomend 1 to anyone who is considering 1 in a heartbeat.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cswintown:
For people who need to frequently make phone calls, Note is not ideal. It's just not as comfortable as regular size phone to hold while you are talking.

It's great phone for me though since I only make less than 5 calls a day; and the bigger screen is a plus for anything else.

Do you TALK a lot?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adamski123:
No i do not lol.. I hardly call. Texting twitter and fb my means of communicating ;) oh and also whatsapp and gtalk. But yeh u get the idea. :)

My SGS II is black and my Gnote is White...they both look lurvely
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nunosm:
Both mine sg2's and note are black. Once you go the Note way....you better sell you sg2 or it will be in the drawer for a loooong time. Sg2 feels too small and the pen, after you get used to it...is a must!

[HTC Inspire 4G] Ambictus:
I'm having an issue where random keys stop working on the keyboard. The keys are never the same and it happens completely at random. This has happened to 2 different Inspires after rooting and flashing CoreDroid. Initially I thought it was something wrong with the keyboard so I changed keyboards and the problem persisted. I then switched to ARHD after doing a super wipe on one of the Inspires and the problem arose again.

An example of the issue. When I want to hit the 'h' on the keyboard it won't respond. I'll be able to hit every key around it but not the h. It's never consistent in which key it is and it doesn't seem to have a patter of appearance.

Is anyone else experiencing the issue or is it just me? Any ideas on what could possibly fix it? I'm likely going to flash an ICS ROM to see if the problem pops up in an ICS ROM as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pazzo02:
I've never seen anyone complain of this before. Since you say it's different keys every time, then it's definitely not a digitizer issue. It has to be software, but since you say you've had the same problem on 2 different phones, with different ROMs and different keyboard software, I'm stumped.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
I've seen this issue around the threads before and I've had this issue several tines before (mainly only with ics roms). Mine always corrects itself once I tilt the phone to landscape and then rotate it back up. No as far as why its doing it? I dunno

"I love my Springfield XD40"
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
ya force it to rotate screen, or power screen off and back on will correct it. its a bug that has always floated around with non-sense roms. minor really
[HTC Inspire 4G] elpresidente408:
I've only noticed this after I installed an ICS rom on the phone. I get a similar issue while typing that a single key will be unresponsive. It seems to take about 2 seconds for it to work again.

The time doesn't appear to be affected if you keep tapping the screen, or just wait.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ambictus:
Well, if nothing else it's at least good to have confirmation than I'm not nuts :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dfmalone:
is the problem occuring only with this particular ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rdef:
Yes, I have seen this on a number of GB ROMs.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
I'm running AOKP 35, and I'm being told by multiple people that when they talk to me, they hear an echo of themselves.

I've confirmed this with 3 people now, on cell and land lines, and cannot figure out what is going on.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not hearing an echo of myself, but rather, the other person hears themselves echo. I'm about to perform some tests:

1. Install stock ROM and retest

2. Test without the case installed on the phone

3. Turn the vol down on my ear-speaker

UPDATE: see my post below. I have now confirmed AOKP to be the issue. Frustrating, but hopefully ProTekk will be able to tackle this one.
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
I only seem to have that on bluetooth--there are some other threads on speaker issues also--
[HTC One S] dc211:
I just got off the phone with my brother (he called me). He has a One S also and is running AOKP.

I could hear myself echoing also. So yeah it looks like it might be an AOKP thing.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
OK, I've done some testing, and I am 100% sure that AOKP is the culprit.

ProTekk: On a fresh installation of b35 and 4/22 gapps and NO OTHER INSTALLS (apps, etc), the echo occurs. Here's my findings:

1. If another T-Mo user calls me, their end only rings once, then goes silent. My end rings more than once, and I answer only to hear silence as well.

2. I can call other T-Mo users, and DO get through. However, they can hear an echo of themselves quite a bit.

3. In-call volume is quite low compared to stock ROMS, so there's a volume issue here as well.

I've talked on the phone w/b35 with several people today, and all of them noticed an echo. I also called myself from a landline and verified it. I then decided to wipe everything (/system too) and install the stock USA ROM. Upon installation, I retested with these people, and not a single person had an issue with echoing. I also noticed that the volume through the ear-speaker was significantly louder on stock ROMs.

With this in mind, I decided to make absolutely sure that AOKP was the problem, so I wiped everything again, and then installed AOKP b35 and 4/22 gapps. I made sure not to install any other apps or utilities. I immediately tested it in the same process, and everyone reported back that they were once again hearing the echo, and I was once again experiencing an issue where T-Mobile users cannot get their calls through to me. Land lines can call me just fine, interestingly.

ProTekk: I hope this information is helpful, as I've tried my best to eliminate any doubts in my testing.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
I'd like to ask that each and every one of you that is running AOKP on a USA One S (please indicate which build/milestone of AOKP) to test what I have just laid out.

I'm 99% sure that everyone else will get the same results. I just need a few of you to confirm, then every last doubt will be removed.

UPDATE: OK, I've talked to some people in the CM9 IRC channel, and theyre experiencing similar issues (on US models, if it matters). This is obviously not JUST aokp, but rather a problem with source-based ROMs. I'm betting MIUI has the exact same problem as well.
[HTC One S] ozzie1p:
Callers hear an echo on mine as well. Running build 35.
[HTC One S] FunkyELF:
AOKP build 36 does not fix this either

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

The echo is worse when on speaker phone.

In my tests, on speaker phone you can clearly hear just about everything you just said as an echo.

Without speaker phone, you'll faintly hear the last bit of whatever you say and maybe a little in between.
[HTC One S] kaeruil:
I would test it but AOKP just boots straight to recovery. Though I did get MIUI up and running (was loving it) I could receive calls from anyone, including T-Mo users, but couldn't make any outgoing calls.
[HTC One S] ProTekk:
The next release of AOKP will have this issue fixed.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
Awesome. Thanks Jacob! Always appreciated! Can't wait to get back to my fav ROM.
[HTC Sensation] D_avi_D:
Is there a way to download the stock rom somehow and install it?
[HTC Sensation] quietmoth:
Hi !

Depends... Granted that you are looking for the latest european ICS stock rom, you could download this : RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed.exe and launch the executable straight from Windows after having plugged your phone in...

Cheers !
[HTC Sensation] D_avi_D:
Thanks

Thanks mate, although I was trying to find the 2.3 version that comes with the phone.
[HTC Sensation] quietmoth:

Hello Guys,

I'm sorry for the newbie question... can I just install Juggernaut-v5 on top of Juggernaut-v4.1? My phone has Juggernaut-v4.1, it's working perfect and I don't want to lose anything that's there now. Please advice.

I will install Juggernaut-v5 on my wife's stock phone and of course I would like to update mine if everything that's there stays there...

THANKS in advance for your kind response!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
Yep, that what i did. Make sure you back up 4.1 in case you have issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
You can also do a complete wipe to ensure a clean install then you can go back and advance restore the data partition from your 4.1 after you make a backup...but definately make a backup
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] friendlylocalweedman:
do a nandroid then ti backup then go for it.

THANK YOU Team Kang!

Hello Guys,

I just wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU and also give Team Kang a BIG THANK YOU!

I have been running Juggernaut 5.0 since May 2012 and Juggernaut 4.1 since I bought my phone Galaxy S II from T-Mobile.

I never had to look into another rom as it works perfect.

My wife also was very happy when she started customizing her phone with new fonts, etc...

So, just saying THANKS to the developers and also the people behind this great forum!

Best regards,

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kgal:
I am looking for the best case for the HTC One X that doesn't affect or disrupt the crazy quality pictures that this phone can take.

from past experiences (iPhone specific), I had cases that always caused some irritating distortion of my pictures (light from flash reflecting back, light from the colored plastic case featuring in my pictures).

I am looking for a good case for my new phone that has cleared that issue.

I saw some threads about these cases but none talked about this issue, most were concerned with protection of the camera (understandably).

The threads had some pictures of the cases and it seems that all the cases have a custom fitted diameter for the flash but, again, don't know if that's a factor for the picture taking.

I tried once a few weeks ago, but gave up after 15 minutes of zip editing and a bad flash....didn't bother any further cause Quarx started droppin CM9\7 releases the second I had installed CM7.

I may try again (with actual effort this time), but I've been looking at porting the DroidX Miui v4 and am more interested in doing that to be honest.

I also attempted patchrom with Quarx's latest CM9, but didn't get anywhere. Doubt I will either since I don't know smali code, or anything more than basic bash scripts.

Not at all related, but thinking about it, I will post a zip containing the DroidX cpu governors this evening, they work great with CM9. My bad battery (CM9 05\12) has been with using the stock conservative setting. Using stock settings with DroidX BOOSTEDassV2 governor gave the best battery I've had (all roms) with CM9 05\09 and 05\06.
