Since installing the latest AOKP nightly I have never been so disinterested in a topic!

Samsung is so late to this rodeo now it just doesn't matter what horse they bring!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Elloco305:
Have they improved it that much since their stable from a months back, December / January??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] corwest:
The newest CM and AOKP ROMs are pretty slick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OldeCrow:
There are a few minor issues in AOKP but the 4.2 nightly builds are nearing "spectacular" status and they only a few builds into 4.2.

The new kernel has my phone sleeping like it's supposed to now so I'm on 36 hours of idle time and 70% battery left, I will get a chance to test it under heavy use during the week and see how screen on battery and in call battery use is too. It has me pleasantly distracted from TW roms at the moment for sure!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:
Which rom and kernel combo are you running exactly? I really liked the jb roms but every now and then I'd get a SOD. I want underclocking or undervolting either. I ended up back on good old ics.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OldeCrow:
I'm running Whitehawkx's feb 22 build of AOKP, you can get it from the rom topic here or right from his section on goo-im

also running eugenes dual core cpu sleeper apk from the market stock kernel at stock speeds just changed the governor to "on demand" I have had a couple SOD's on the stock governor but so far flawless set to on demand...

the earlier builds didn't sleep as well and had some bluetooth issues but the feb 22 build seems solid.

check the development thread and see if there are any specific issues that might bug you, I use my phone on bluetooth, use maps and gps, and like long battery on standby so the current build is working perfectly for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:

Personally been running AOKP Official Build 3 from 2 weeks ago stock and not a single SOD or RR. Just flashed Build 4 which came out yesterday is supposed to be more stable and have various fixes, but AOSP 4.2 roms are IMO daily driver material and rock solid.

Honestly this is something that you need to research... I don't know that there's "one" answer...

Check your battery stats to see what application is primarily drawing on your battery.

Search on here for "BetterBatteryStats" and have it run logs so you can see what your primary drain is...

Reduce your screen brightness...

Use Titanium backup, do a factory reset and reload your phone?

The problem is NOT that T-Mobile is holding the release.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
Why would you get the HTC One, when you could get the Note 2. Bigger screen, endless amazing features... (far to much to list), excellent screen, unbelievable battery life, multi windows, and the S-Pen. The S-Pen is something you could live without but is something you wouldn't want to live without.

I went from the G1, it was great & the only Android phone you could get back then. After that I got the Galaxy Vibrant, it was freaking cool, then I got the S2. It was the best phone if it's time, far ahead of anything else out there during it's time and still to this day is a great phone that is still keeping up. I wanted the first Note but I just wasn't sure at the time it seemed so huge. Anyway here I am now with my Note 2 and Damn, I just can't say enough to explain how great the Note 2 really is. I was going to get the S3 but thank the God's I didn't. So that's a little of my phone history, anyway...

The only phone that will come out this year that will be able to beat the Note 2 is the the Note 3 and we won't see that in the US until the end of this year. That's how amazing the Note 2 is, once you own one you just can't go back to anything else. I've had allot of people play with my Note 2 and they where sold within minutes. I know the new hype is 1080p screens but it's already been said by many that it doesn't even make a difference due to the limitations of the human eye. At least on any device 7" and under. I've seen the Droid DNA's screen and yeah its nice but side by side 1080p screen next to the Note 2's Super AMOLED HD Plus (RGB) Screen. From the average distance you hold you're phone away from your face and even under. The Note 2 is just as good, that's only due to the fact it's not pentile. It's a full RGB screen with 2x more Sub Pixels. People with real tech knowledge will know what I'm talking about.

Like the screen on the S3 it's smaller but has the same resolution as the Note 2's bigger screen but the S3's screen doesn't look nearly as good as the Note 2's screen. This is because the Note 2 has a RGB screen.

So a 1080p pentile screen will look about as good as a 720p RGB screen. But if the 1080p screen is in fact a RGB screen then it will indeed look better then an RGB 720p screen. But not by as much as one would think and as I said before, the reason is the amount of ppi the human eye can see in such a small area. ie a 7inch or under screen.

Don't get me wrong. I would take 1080p over 720p if both in fact are the same type of screen. I just don't think it's something to upgrade over. Unless you hold your phone 6 inches or less to you're face.

Not that it's really a big deal. I just wanted to make sure you understand the differences of the way pixels and sub pixels can change the quality of screens.

So back on topic. Get the Note 2, you will not regret it. Because the only next big thing coming is the Note 3 and that's at the end of this year.

IMHO. Remember everyone gets to have an opinion. But about the screens and 1080p vs 720p vs RGB vs Pentile, That's fact.

I'm not down on HTC, hell my first smart phone was the HTC G1. I just d
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PulldOvr:
Its not about just the screen. The quad core snapdragon 600 is only a step down from on of the most power chips in production, the front facing speakers, the new camera sensor though less megapoxels, is a stronger sensor... and T-Mobile will likely leave behind note 2 users as soon as the note3/gs4 comes out. With the HTC one being a flagship device with HTC, they will try to keep it current as long as possible.

I have no need for the multi window feature .. if it's that important, I have a nexus 7 beside me to use as a giant second window. And I'm pretty sure the display on a gs2 from tmo is pentile as well isn't it?

I too went the same route as you. G1 > my touch > vibrant > my touch 4g > Hercules ... the One will be my next step.

Wifi calling isn't really that great anyways... The call quality isn't very good. When making a call I have to turn off wifi, just so it won't use it...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pamulli:
When you don't have a cell signal at all, wifi calling is a necessity and with T-Mobile coverage in my area that happens a lot. You can change the wifi calling to prefer cell rather than wifi and then as long as you have a cell signal it won't use wifi calling. I use wifi calling quite a bit and I don't really notice any quality issues as long as I have a descent internet connection. For me not having it means I can't use a ROM, which means no JB for me until T-Mo releases an official update for our phone or a dev figures out how to add it to AOSP, which isn't very likely.

I have cell service 4 steps outside my front door to my house so to make a call on aosp roms, I have to step outside and play then"can you hear me now" game. I wish android was able to work in umts like what was on the blackberry bold. It worked awesome and every time. Wifi calling works 8 out of 10 times for me ...

Wifi calling is great since I have rough service at home and in rely on my phone as I am a GM at my store. My phone is important ..

The note2 is a pretty awesome phone no question, but in my opinion its too expensive for the internals.

It has essentially the same cpu and gpu as the s3 (South Korea) but came out much later in 2012, how come there wasn't a price cut? Samsung now has sold off the exynos4412 to other Oem's so its no longer a "premium chip." You can buy a hyundai 7 inch tablet for 166$ with the 4412 or you can buy the Odriod-U2 for around 90$

Odroid: http://gigaom.com/2013/02/11/follow...-u2-continues-small-cheap-computing-movement/

Hyundai T7: http://liliputing.com/2013/03/hyundai-t7-quad-core-tablet-is-fast-fickle.html

The t7 has a bigger screen, same chip, less ram and no lte support, but mini hdmi out.

The note 2 came out in october 2012 and the t7 came out febuary 2013.

From a consumer standpoint that is quite the price drop considering the devices look almost Identical. Same materials and internals, both from South Korea.

It looks to me like the note line is samsung just trying to maximize their profit before selling a chip off to the Non premium Oem's

The Htc one is a dying companies last shot at maintaining premium status, better screen or not.

I wouldn't count on it. About the only things they can do now is upgrade the cpu, gpu and memory. They already have higher resolution than the human eye can resolve, vibrant colors, large screens and huge batteries (though better batteries would be great, the technology just isn't there yet).

Although, Samsung could upgrade the phone by moving away from the crappy plastic design, but like I said, don't count on it. Even the form factor looks similar to the sgsIII, at least from the leaked photos I've seen.

Just run a stable 4.1.2 ROM. I'm running Avatar and it's literally the best ROM I've ever run. It's 98% bug free. Every once in a while you get a half second lock screen lag (You can fix this by pushing hardware acceleration and running partial wake lock, but it does drain your battery more) and Instagram pictures won't filter unless you disable HW Overlays. Other than that, clearest call quality when enabling noise suppression, with extended battery, I can run it full brightness and multitask with about 11 hours (Pretty good for this phone actually).
