[Galaxy Note II General] Akiainavas:
I'd get one if i were you. We don't even know for sure that there will be Note 2 - not to mention when.

Not to mention the fact that Note 2 - obviously - will be better, but Note 1 already has everything you would possibly need at the moment.

About Samsung not supporting Note anymore - no offense but that's quite "curious" opinion. We just had 4.0 update, how is that not supporting ? Ok, there are bugs and serious problems but give them time to fix them, don't expect updates after 2 weeks - this is not Apple ( 1 good thing about them i guess ).

Anyway, who cares about Samsung's support if there's CM9 ;)

"If they would bring out a note 2 that had the exact same design I'd do it, I really can't get on board with the S3 design though, hate those curves. It really is as if it was designed by their team of lawyers despite what they might say!"

I'm afraid Note 2 might share the "nature-pebblish" design of the S3...
[Galaxy Note II General] _A.T.Omix_:
Second good this about apple, and second reason why you OP should wait for GNote 2: http://techpp.com/2011/10/27/sorry-state-of-android-updates-support-infographic/
[Galaxy Note II General] shai32:
It's not for everyone but what I usually do (because I am an update freak) is to buy a second hand phone for a good price. Use it until the launch of the new note. And then sell it back for about the same price.

If you do it right you can always have the last technology without spending that much money. The secret is to sell before the new model comes. And to buy after all the first hype is over. It works...
[Galaxy Note II General] Final5k:
I think if I would personally get the S3 then sells it when the Note2 is out. The S3 resale value will be much higher than the Note 1.
[Galaxy Note II General] gautamr9:
IMO go for the note. You can always trade it in for note 2 when it comes.. S3 isnt worth it. I prefer note to s3 anyday!!! :D :D

but if you have a lock in.. then better to wait it out!!
[Galaxy Note II General] Colingajewski:
The Note is the most useful/useable phone right now, the Note2 is just an idea still. Get a Note and swap to Note2 later.

[Galaxy Note II General] ywnmmsb:
If you are in US then you have a good 7 to 8 months with Anerican Note..Go for it...

I think I am the only one who likes the new s3 design...it feels so nice & rounded in the hand...
[Galaxy Note II General] shaoran_ojo:
What about buying second-hand Note and resell it when Note2 out? That way you won't lose much money and by the mean time you'll know if the note fit you or not. :p
[Galaxy Note II General] JellyXDA:
I'm gonna buy the phone outright from Amazon, so if I change my mind 4 months down the line, I could just return it for the full price I paid (say it's faulty or something, or I don't like it)and then put the rest towards a note 2, couldn't I?
[Galaxy Note II General] Johev:
I think Amazon does that just for 30 days :).

It would be cool though, as I did buy mine from Amazon, as the price of it new was almost the same as the second hand devices were selling on eBay (crazy).

The price of a Note now is about 430 euros, and the new Note II should start at 650-750 euros, so maybe even if the Note II was out you would have to spend almost 50% more to get one.

If you are getting it for free by staying in a contract, than it might be worth the wait, but otherwise you need to do the calculations.

For me, after I got my Note, and I am with it for just a few weeks I can say that all the news about the bricks, horrible ICS update (slow and without some nice features like the widget preview) and the lack of Samsung to acknowledge that there is a problem and that they are working on it, is making me seriously consider the return of my new toy.

The screen and size are OK for me, but the fact that SG3 is all smooth and nice and G.Note users are left with a buggy and slow OS, when most of us spent way over 450 euros (over 560 USD) on it, is making me mad. Now with the new tool from Chainfire I have discovered that my eMMC chip has the bug that Samsung doesn't want to acknowledge.

Finally the bug that prevents my Note to go into deepsleep, and consumes the battery incredibly fast for idle (about 6%/h) is just unbelievable.

Well I'm sorry for this feedback, but if Samsung does not do something soon, I'll might be searching for a cheap 2nd hand smartphone to let me by until I make my mind on what to buy.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tuffcheez:
I totally agree, my update is due in August but I'll hold out for GN2. My only reservation is if it should follow the ugly bar of soap look, aka S3. They really need to take a tip from Nokia's designers.
[Galaxy Note II General] whmcal:
I agree. Hold on. Even if note 2 doesnt come out, something else will by another manufacturer. Stay away from Note. Too many serious bugs and no support from Samsung.
[Galaxy Note II General] THUDUK:
If you wait to buy a phone that's not due to be released for another 4 or 5 months, you will always be waiting. In another 4 to 5 months time you will be asking the same question, just go and get one:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note II General] Johev:
I agree with Thuduk, if we are waiting for the top and best all the time, we end up buying nothing.

Galaxy Note is a good value for the money right now, and if only Samsung treated us with respect and released a good and polished ICS for our device, like they are capable of doing and corrected the bricking bug, than I would be thrilled.

I still have faith.......lets hope Samsung doesn't kill it ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] Oneiricl:
Why do so many of you hate on the Galaxy SIII? It's a beautiful phone if you actually get to hold it and see it in real life (as opposed to pictures on the net) and it fits very well in the hand - the curves seem to actually be built to be more comfortable. Seriously, few phones feel so good in the hand.

And I care much more how a phone feels in my hand than how good its back looks... after all, I spend most of my time looking at the screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] aami.aami:
i love my note. u would not believe how much i love it.its the first phone ever in my life i am so attached to ! i would recommend u buying it but only on one condition!!! and that is, after u buy Note, THERE WILL BE NO WAY OUT!!!! its so F'ing AMAZING u would love it from ur heart! mark my words!
[Galaxy Note II General] Tuffcheez:
My two year contract ends in August, not the best time to get another two year contract when just a few months later new models like the GN2 or Htc one XXL or even perhaps some windows phone phablet offering might appear! I'll wait thanks!

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

I don't hate GS3, it most probably rocks as a phone...but..for some people like myself design and style is more important than comfort.

A younger person is more influenced by design than comfort, as you get older the balance changes.

The GS3 looks like it was designed by old age penshioners! :D

A Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Quadcore Exynos 4412 SoC sounds tasty! I'm drooling with anticipation! :cool:
[Galaxy Note II General] SayWhat10:
as mentioned, theres no guarantee of a Note 2,although its likely, but who knows the release date

you possibly could wait a year for the note 2

i'd jump on it now

then sell your note, and get the note 2
[Galaxy Note II General] Vb.net.dev:
will , you have to wait tell Samsung official release of note 2 , then decide !

price prediction for Galaxy note and s3 USA

I am in same boat. my contract is about to over ( USA)

t-mobile has also Note 1 now.

I can wait for 1 or 2 months ( Oct or Nov ( thanksgiving )) if there will be Note 2 is in market to buy and may be S3 price may down that time.

any input will be great.

1) Wait for 1 or 2 months and get latest phone or get phone in lower price than current

OR

2)Get current Note and S3 right now with current price
[Galaxy Note II General] ripkurl:
I would wait till end of the month before making a decision.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tuffcheez:
GN2 is coming soon! I made the right decision to hold on...but drooling with anticipation!
[Galaxy Note II General] colasante_5:
29th of August is only 12 days ahead....I think it's better to wait! ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] msedek:
Already sold my note and using a 7.0 tab as phone until note 2 launch lol
[Galaxy Note II General] azzledazzle:
WAIT !!

It will be released soon !

If you have enough cash, maybe think of getting a cheap used Note 1, to keep you occupied until the release, Then you will have both Notes :)
[Galaxy Note II General] JulyDerek:
Note 2 > Note 1

Wait for the Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tuffcheez:
Yeeehaaaw! I'm buying it!
[Galaxy Note II General] gtranvi:
Note 2 and hope there's no fatal brickbug. I love the note, but can't stand Samsung's lack of support for an almost year old phone. S3 seems to be solid hardware so far, since note 2 is based off of it, hopefully there should be no serious hardware/software flaws. Because you're never sure with Samsung support.
[Galaxy Note II General] Final5k:
since the Note 1 international has the brick bug compared to the US version which is not affected, I'll wait even 3-5months until it is 100% that the International Note 2 is not plagued with the bug or I'll buy the US Note 2 whose hardware will slightly be different to the Int + no brick bug.

I am 101% positive that I do not want to get stressed and scared when flashing or updating a phone again because of this damn bug and I'll make sure that happen! The Note 1 experience is the worst thing ever! And I'll wait to be sure that the experts confirms it is brick free before buying!
[Galaxy Note II General] LoVeRice:
Ill wait for note 2 even if it takes a year and note 3 comes out, ill wait again. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] islandmixed:
Lol soon as note 2 drops their will be bull**** as well with the device...they add afew updates and call it note 2!! Load of rubbish. If u dont have a note hold out until note 2 defo...dats just common sence.
[Milestone 2 General] m4rkiz:
i bought cheap milestone 2 and wanted to try CM on it

rooted, installed CWM

tried to flash CM 7.2 RC3 and it fails after "checking kernel version..."

so i guess my 2.2.2 is too old

went back to wiki, tried to flash their downgrade rom VRZ_A955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf hoping that it will get me to the right spot

no joy here as it fails (running as admin etc.) with "Phone is not compatible with multi-interface super-file."

any suggestions what to do now, as this is where i start worrying that i might do\flash something stupid and brick it ;)
[Milestone 2 General] sanxbr:
Hello!

Sorry if I'm wrong but, wouldn't be needed do update to 2.3.6 first?

Yet, this could help:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310641

It says that you can update from Froyo.
[Milestone 2 General] m4rkiz:
actually it was just me being dumb as i tried to install

update-cm-7.2.0-RC3-droid2-signed

instead of

update-cm-7.2.0-RC3-droid2we-signed

as WE in filename means that this is rom for global, gsm version (that i have)

it updated ok, but all i get now is motorola logo and then black screen, i can't even get CWM to start...
[Milestone 2 General] pepe55:
Hi, first you may know, there are two different phones Droid 2 and Milestone 2 (A953), maybe you are trying to flash wrong sbf to your phone.
[Milestone 2 General] m4rkiz:
yup, just figured it out, had to flash back to 2.2.2 with

MILS2_U6_2.4.24_SIGNED_UCAMILESTONE2B1B80E100E.0R_UCXMILE20RTGB_P040_A013_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf

and is working now...

for some reason i thought that droid 2 global = milestone 2

what should i look for if im interested in most stable rom for milestone?
[Milestone 2 General] sanxbr:
Indeed, be sure of the sbf version.

Try going back to stock and do it again, cleaning data, cache and dalvik before and after update.

*didn't see that it worked hehe

Most stable roms, IMO are MIUI 2.5.25 and CM7

Now i'm trying CM9 (20120602) and i'm enjoying, still checking. Seems like it's worth the try.

Still some issues to solve, like recording, etc... but looks like good for daily use.

People say that MIUI tends to give some compatibility issues sometimes. And Cm7 fails to run some apps... like ShadowGun (well, in my Miles it fails hehe).
[Milestone 2 General] pepe55:
I'm very happy with MIUI from Will5, check it. It has very good battery life, the rom is smooth and stable and very addictive =D. I got small amount of forbidden crashes. I'm trying other roms as well but always come back to MIUI until better rom comes out, if it happen sometime. It has froyo kernel and i dont have any strange touchscreen bug, but the touch responsive is a little less then newer kernel, thats no problem for me.
[Milestone 2 General] m4rkiz:
trying it now, installation hints states "Flash UPDATE_2.5.25.zip from cwm 4.x.x.x or greater"

how to get cwm 4x?

all i found is 2.something in cm wiki and 3.1 in bootmenu

anyway i installed it with 3.1.0.0 and it seems to be ok
[Milestone 2 General] pepe55:
I installed it as you without any problems, I think it can be flashed from recovery from droid2bootstrap. If you dont like MIUI you can try another ROMS maybe original 2.3.4 sbf, in developer section is manual to get out the blur (and bloat) from stock roms. I test it someday but Im happy with MIUI.
[Milestone 2 General] m4rkiz:
miui installed fine, it looks great, but after some basic configuration launcher start FC, as i dont have time to experiment just now i flashed latest CM7 i found (cm7-120221-1901-NIGHTLY-Milestone2.zip) and it is working perfectly, just as good as on my LG P990

Hi, wanted to send a PM to you vadonka, but my account here at xda is new, so ill just post here at Q&A Thread. i really love your kernel, but the after builds of may 23 beta dont seems to work with my O2x, i have the latest temasek CM7 0725BB/RIL, i really love to overclock my phone up to 1504 ghz. can you please help me?

PS. Looking forward to you to help me... thanks! really love your 3.0.y kernel developing, so smooth... and the may 23th beta runs smoothly on my O2x, no bsod etc. i just only want to overclock my phone up to 1504mhz.

Not every phone can handle highchair values.

Once you've downloaded the kernel and Etana have flashed, the application enters "Etana Kernel'sTweakAIO" after which the item "Level Overclocking" post Xoc, and you restart the device with overclock to 1504 MHz!
[Motorola Atrix 2] biupil:
I have a problem with the power button i push it and this is what i get

AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)

0A.68

Battery OK

OK to Program

Connect USB

Data Cable

But with vol-&+&pwr button i choose normal mode and it works just fine.

The problem is tha i cant fix it with rsd lite + InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.

So if i want to get an update it will try to reboot and will not start up to setup the update :mad: :mad: :mad:

I have even tried the Blur_Version.55.28.37.MB865.MERetail.en.06.andcrc but still nothing.

Atrix 2 At&t sorry for my english
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
First of all your phone is fine, since it is booting. You can continue to choose normal power up and be fine.

To fix you need to flash the fxz and replace the files to allow you to do it after being on 2.3.6. see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396650
[Motorola Atrix 2] biupil:
unfortunately i cant flash the fxz it says failed all the time, its like its locked, i tried.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
did you replace the files
[Motorola Atrix 2] biupil:
yes my friend and this is what it says
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
hmm. Is your phone the AT&T version or one of the international ones? Make sure you are using the correct fxz file for your device, that is most likely the problem with the step it is failing on find a list here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php

Go to settings- about phone and look at system version. That should tell you what version you are. it will be 55.13.25.MB865.VERSION.... or something like that, you should be able to tell which you are
[Motorola Atrix 2] biupil:
it is At&t

system version 55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US i have downloaded the

InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.Zip that is for At&t is that correct?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
yep that is the correct one. have you ever tried to flash a different one? that may have messed something up.

Try this, it may work. It is just a script that runs the fastboot comands. Extract it and run the stock restore file in it:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_F787JD56X9SjZSUlljQ2ZYdFk
[Motorola Atrix 2] biupil:
yes i have tried the Blur_Version.55.28.37.MB865.MERetail.en.06.andcrc as i said before. I will try the one that you told me and i will inform you...
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
that is probably the problem. there are some files you will have to skip flashing in order to make it work I think. PM jimbridgman (i think thats how you spell it and ask him for help)
[Motorola Atrix 2] biupil:
nope still the same lets hope that jimbridgman can help

lkrasner thank you for your time.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
he should be able to just link him to this thread and be nice.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I also just replied to your PM, but I wanted to put this here as well, so others can also see it.....

This just a theory, since no one has done this yet, so we might have to try a few things to get it right

my first guess is to do this:

Take the following files from the update that you flashed and replace their counterparts in the 2.3.5 fxz, and update the md5 sums in the xml file, you can google for a windows md5sum executable for windows.

Here is a link to a good place to find the m5sums for windows7:

http://www.walkernews.net/2009/12/26/how-to-check-md5-checksum-in-windows-7/

files you will need from the leak:

cdt.bin

device_tree.bin

lbl

now once you have them in the same folder as the rest of the 2.3.5 fxz, use that exe I told you grab to get their md5 sums, and replace those numbers in the xml file in the 2.3.5 fxz, this should get you back to 2.3.5, in theory.

[Motorola Atrix 2] biupil:
wtf my brain hurts already lol. I will try to do it in the morning i will inform you for the results.
[Motorola Atrix 2] biupil:
i realy understand nothing at all of this. unfortunatly my phone will stay as it is.
[Motorola Atrix 2] prasannapmv:
download the fxz and replace files from noob thread. extract and replace files, after replacing erase third line

i.e <step operation="flash" partition="mbmloader" filename="mbmloader.bin"MD5="9D1958ED3F5E971FF079B195E338BA86" />

from InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID28 5.xml and flash it using rsd lite it will definetely work as i had the same problem

Even though you have the Sprint banner on your information, notate CDMA because most don't catch it. ;)

As far as kernels for ICS ROM's, I'm only aware of Chad Goodman's (banned from XDA, don't ask, go read the explanation in the stickies for this forum or the General forum, can't remember where it is). Go to infectedROM.com (I think that's the site). That's where he is.

Of course, this place changes every day, so........someone else, like freeza or mwalt could have developed something by now.

Just gotta search, my friend.:D
[HTC EVO 3D] bcarter2000:
It will be a while before we see any kernels for 3.6. The ICS ROMs out now are based off of a leak. Our official update is about a month away from what I hear, and the source for anything HTC will not be released until the very last moment. Usually 3 to 6 months after they drop the update. The only dev(that I've seen) who could build one, was chased out by a lynch mob from another device. So, yea, it might be a while.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKSL:
I would like to hack in to two andorid devices, mic and the GPS device. With the mic I want to get the back ground noise. Measure the intensity of sound for ex - lets say frequency or some dB value (which ever is supported). With GPS obviously the location cordinates.

On the android platform it will be easy to do this as an application. However I want to pass this data to the kernel..how to achieve that? a user space daemon polling the above sensors constantly(then agian how to write to the kernel space..), or can I get these values in the kernel space itself? (ex- as a bite stream from the device driver)

Appreciate any ideas about the matter..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showlyshah:
I think the os can do realtime calculations. But kernal????, as of my knowledge kernal is a bridge that connects the hardware with the software( os here) and dnt think that kernal itself can do calculations, but kernal can adjust the o/p , i/p parameters to the os( for eg. Android kernal parameters can be adjusted by init.d or local.prop scripts. ) . But they are executed in os startup, and i think they are constant through out the operating time or untill next boot. So i think either of these scripts can be used to adjust some thing, but not in real time but in each boot.

So the idea is read the values via some app, use the app to generate the script with desired value, inject it to the system folder, and it will be executed on next startup.

Still i dont get the point, why do u want the kernal itself to do the things.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
I'm not sure why you're so big on doing this in kernel.

GPS data is so slow that you could easily handle it on a TRS-80.

Audio data is not a heap of work either.

Ok, I would write any heavy computations in a native lib (in user space).

I'm not sure if Android phones (versus other Android devices) use ALSA,

but I've written my own code for interfacing with ALSA directly and bypassing Android.
[HTC Wildfire S] klacenas:
What if you need to install an apk from sdcard but you don't have a file manager installed yet, and to make things worse you don't have internet access to download it from the market!

Well, there's a solution to that. Provided by every internet browser available.

(I suppose you have one installed :-)

Here's what you need to do:

1. Put the apk file in the main directory your sdcard. Rename it to something very short for easy typing. In this example, I will use "fm.apk".

2. Boot your device. Goto Security Settings and check "Unknown Sources".

3. Open your internet browser. In the address bar type "file:///sdcard/<filename>.apk".

In our example above it should look like this: "file:///sdcard/fm.apk"

4. Press "Go".

That's it! Installation started!
