[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brad387:
I brought my Note just a day or so after the S3 was announced. The Note was cheaper and the S-Pen and larger screen are what I wanted more than a quad-core processor, which is quite unnecessary for my usage.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
Good luck Joe.

The GS3 is a nice device. Awesome, actually, and there is no denying it is more popular with the general public.

My Note is my niche and my next leap is Note-2 which will be rocking a serious set of upgrades.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] stefan.buddle:
Only thing capable of seducing me into leaving my Galaxy Note is the Galaxy Note 2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NiceMrMustard:
Same here.

Not to mention that while I'm certainly fond of my toys, I'm not going to dump a perfectly good terminal just to get the latest one.

I got the Note because I broke my Streak.

OTOH, TIL that there actually are people that change their smartphones every six months. (removed my thoughts on that before posting :rolleyes:)

I really don't like the design of the 3

Live the note

Hope the note 2 isn't too much like the 3 design
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Akiainavas:
Hope you won't regret it after 2 weeks like i did...had to buy myself another Note. Couldn't stand smaller screen. The S3 is amazing though...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
When the S3 was first released I said to myself "not this time Beards. Yes you bought the original S followed by the S2 but when you bought the Note you clearly told yourself you did not need the S3".

All was well until I started receiving blogs in my Inbox..... Then came the TV ads followed by more Online hype.

I was slowly being drawn in.

That was a couple of weeks back.....

Yes, I do miss the larger screen and yes I do miss the Pen but the S3 gives back a lot more in other areas where the Note simply has not got.

I love being able to launch the camera either by pressing and holding the Samsung Lockscreen and twisting it 90 degrees to launch the camera. Or without touching the S3 by simply saying to the S3 "Wake up Galaxy", followed by "Launch Camera" then finally saying "Shoot", or "Capture", or "Cheese".... CLICK. Shot of myself and my Brother taken.

Then there's being able to carry out a screen shot simply by waving the edge of my up righted palm across the screen.

Or how about whilst browsing through my collection of photo's in the much better Gallery App I notice the shots taken have Names shown and by simply taping on that name I can email the photo directly to them from the Gallery App.

There's a lot more but going back to the Lockscreen where I started this reply I really like how Samsung have made it in keeping with WidgetLocker. Granted it's not as good but then again WidgetLocker can't show me a News Ticker scrolling at the base of the screen.

There's loads more reasons... so let me leave it with the Notification Tools at the top now has a scrolling list of items you can either select or un-select.

B.T.W...... I am fortunate.... I still have my Note but it doesn't get the full attention any longer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sujal:
I've been really really REALLY tempted to buy the S3 lately. I am getting it for $400 new unlocked. But as much as I am trying to like it over my note, I am unable to do so. Screen is the second biggest factor actually for me. First is everything you mentioned. All these features are really great but stock based. I would most definitely be installing AOSP if I were to buy the S3 so all those features would be gone. And then it would just be a Note with smaller screen and two additional processors in a different casing, wouldn't it?

And the pen.. I was so skeptical of getting the note, now I just can't leave it unless I get the note II..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ryebuck:
You can make also screen shots that way on the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azzledazzle:
I totally agree with you, The S3 is an amazing piece of kit, no arguing there, But for me, it isnt a patch on my note.

I believe the note2 will have all the s3 features and more, then all the s3 fanboys will be complaining and wanting to come back to the note lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sujal:
Exactly! See you at the launch of Note II then :D

[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Once I saw the I/O Dev Version of the Nexus 7 I was surprised how much better it--and less iPadesque-- looks with the Black part sounding the Bezel instead of the Silver. I'm not a fan of the white though. I would have loved an all Black Nexus 7. It makes be wonder why they went with the silver in the first place.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
I don't think there's ANYTHING "iPadesque" about the Nexus 7, either variation, any more than a Ferrari is "Corvette-esque" because it's kind of a wedge shape with four wheels and a roofline.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Gloss black Bezel with a silver border and rounded corners and a rectangular shape. Is definitely iPadesque, anyone one that takes an unbiased look can see that. I am not an Apple fan in the least by the way. I just hate how some many products from other companies are imitating them looks wise. I don't even like how the iProducts look personally and Asus made many product that look original, and the back of the Nexus 7 does look original and appealing to my eyes, but the front is iPadesque.

No you example isn't valid. I would would say a Firebird from the 80s while compared to a Corvette from the same period would be Corvette-esque though.
[Nexus 7 General] mojo22:
is the consumer product in both colours?
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
Some things just make sense and can't be claimed by anyone. Fans are often round because, well, that's the shape that things make when they spin. Cars are wedge shaped because, at the time, that's the most aerodynamic known shape. Bezels are black (on tablets and TVs) because that works best with the most content being displayed. Tablets are rectangular because the screens are rectangular (duh!).

Apple can't claim ownership or even creative origination of any of these characteristics. Each and every aspect was either obvious, a virtual requirement (i.e., rectangular screens), or borrowed from some other product. And my iPad doesn't have a silver border, so not sure what you're referring to there.

Apple chose to make a minimalist design, which means minimum ornamentation and just what logically flows from what the device does. Claiming ownership of that is like claiming ownership of a negative--they're saying, in effect, you have to do what we didn't do, that is, we didn't add anything to the most basic possible design, and so you have to. That makes no sense to me.

Not to mention, you're focusing on the very front of the device, which is also deceiving. There's also the sides and back to consider, which are nothing like the iPad by virtue of actually having some ornamentation. Apple made the same silly argument with the Galaxy Tab, and unfortunately the idiot judge myopically bought it.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
Also, your Firebird v. Corvette example is a bad one. Yes, they're very alike, and not just because they're wedge-shaped--they share many common design cues. But they were also both made by General Motors, and probably by the same design teams.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
I didn't say Apple owned anything, though they seem to think so. Just that they look similar from the front. Don't go all fan boy on me, man. There is no need. I dislike Apple, I just think companies are copying the look, thinking that what costumers want because they are so successful in the tablet market. I specifically don't want that and get a bit frustrated every time a android product come out that takes design queues from apple. My main phone is a G2 and I love it. It looks like nothing but itself. And hell yeah Samsung was copying Apple, but I don't think they violated any laws in doing so.
[Nexus 7 General] Eclair~:
While I wholeheartedly agree with everything you stated, I believe he is referring to the iPad 1.

The similarity here is a tad jarring, but I have never been one to get engaged in all this business.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
it doesn't look that way
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
I'm not going "all fan boy," I'm going all rational. Hell, I own an iPad 3.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
3 has it too if a bit slimmer
[Nexus 7 General] nerfman100:
This is correct. The Nexus 7's similarities to the iPad are only the front, and even then they aren't too similar. The sides and back are completely different, and IMO look nicer than the iPad.
[Nexus 7 General] Logan_M:
The only way you could say the iPad and the Nexus 7 look the same is because it's black, has a camera on the top instead of on the side, and the ones given out at I/O have the white back which looks a little simular to the silver on the iPad.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
That is certainly enough for Apple to claim patent violation on.
[Nexus 7 General] Backslash10:
First off how whould you say it looks the same? The nexus 7 has a larger brezel on it then the ipad and next off the camera smaller and has no physical buttons like the ipad. There also made of different materials no aluminum in the nexus 7 and the back has a rubberized finish. Also its a heck alot easier to fix then a ipad is and the software is much different and you can't really change a screen to look much different.
[Nexus 7 General] pham818:
kinda off topic but is there one like this for the galaxy nexus? like a dev version? if so, link please.
[Nexus 7 General] Nospin:
Don't have a link, but Google employees got a Galaxy Nexus with a special back plate.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
Um, no. They'd have to have already filed a patent application, or the Nexus and every other 7" tablet would clearly be prior art. You're forgetting the the Nexus is shipping before any 7" iPad has even been announced. And certainly they can't claim that a 7" tablet violates the design patent on their 10" tablet. That would be ludicrous, even for today's broken system.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
But the lawyers, they can do anything:p
[Nexus 7 General] Jiggavolt:
Seriously? How did this mutate into another Apple patent thread?

I agree with the OP, I wish the consumer model had the black rim the I/O version does. I've never liked the silver rim on any tablet device. I'd love to have an I/O tablet and replace the back with a consumer black rear cover.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Because I said iPodesque.

Yeah I would love if that gave the 16gb model a black rim, since I haven't seen a 16gb one yet I am crossing my fingers, no matter how unlikely it is.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Good one :good:

I am also crossing my fingers as who knows the tablet would change color while sitting on my desk :D
[Nexus 7 General] adiliyo:
I'll sell you mine after I swap the back cover with my 16gb version on order. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
How hard would it be to compile a kernel that is identical to the stock kernel with one exception, that it also includes Voodoo sound.

I'll be honest, I feel like the stock kernel is the best available at this point in time for the Charge. The only thing I want is Voodoo Sound. I don't care to OC/UV, change governors, convert to ext4, etc.

Can anyone do it? I'd be willing to donate a small amount and I'm pretty sure that others would as well. Anyone else willing to chip in to get this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Can't you just load a kernel module with Voodoo Plus?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Mostly, but bass boost doesn't work with the module.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
I found that the bass boost option just warps my music anyway.
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
Really? I think Bass Boost sounds pretty good.

As far as loading the kernel modules, wouldn't it still be better to just have that built.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I think it depends quite a bit on the headphones used. Used moderately on my current headphones, I think it sounds pretty nice. I agree that overused, it would overpower the highs and mids and get too muddy. I can also see that it would probably overpower some headphones at any level, whether due to the power handling or frequency curve.

Also, it's a certainly personal preference.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
I have the Bose over ear headphones. They sound nice with Voodoo Sound but not bass boost...However I have an aftermarket system in my car (Kenwood head unit, Audiobahn amp, Pioneer 12" sub, but stock speakers) and with Bass Boost it just makes my sub go crazy. Awesome if you want to impress some girls/annoy some old people but terrible if you actually want to listen to music.

Nice video.. was going to buy this case for mine next week.. cos i dont like bulky cases..and that non slippery texture just caught me... i have heard that it comes in grey and purple and some other colour.. i have the blue galaxy s3.. which one do you think would suit that??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
get the dark blue or grey one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] foxfire235:
Definitely go with that charcoal black or grey.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jxl92182:
Great video dud. I hope you don't mind but i link your video to the american forums.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ukguy:
I got the same case in grey and it is very nice, just make sure you dont get a 'copy' as theres quite a few on ebay (it should say 'ROCK' on the back).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thrawnTHX:
Even though this case might not be as protective as some TPU cases, I find the texture to provide superior grip and in- hand feel.

I've had the dark and light gray cases (authentic) for about two weeks now and they hold up well with no signs of wear.

I think I'd go so far as to say that the Rock Quicksand is THE best case I've ever had for ANY phone. And like most of you XDA folks, that's a lot of phones and cases!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Assimilator702:
Go with the Black one....which is actually a DARK GREY. Not sure why Rock even calls it Black....maybe they're color blind?I'm sure whoever created the color codes in China just called the Dark Grey Black....and the Light Grey....Grey. They should actually be Dark Grey.....Light Grey.:victory:

I bought the Generic Grey initially and thought it looked MUCH too light on my Blue GS3....kinda reminded me of the underbelly of a Stingray or even a Great White Shark....but now it's grown on me.

Just for reference the Generic Quicksand case available on Amazon has a more rubberized texture....and it's actually quite nice.

I have a few more weeks to send it back I think I'll keep it....unlike the Rearth Ringke which just doesn't do it for me even though many of the feature are ever so slightly better than the Rock.

I plan on doing a side by side comparison of all three cases right after Christmas and maybe have a few more cases to compare against each other.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kingcrash:
I uploaded a couple of albums on Google Music.

It streams great on my Prime. But i have a little problem with the controls.

I want to control my mp3 with my keyboard keys (previous/next/pause/mute)

When the music app is active this works great, but when my prime locks itself the controls become useless.

The app tactile player controls next/previous with the volume buttons, but i want to control my mp3 s with my keyboard.

Anyone got a suggestion for me?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
you could try going to settings -- dev settings -- keep awake when charging. This way, wehn your prime is docked, it will stay awake and not go to sleep. That should allow you to still use the media keys. HOWEVER, this may destroy your battery life on the prime if you don't uncheck it when you are done listening to music as the prime may stay "awake" even when you are not using it to listen to music / it is in your bag, etc.

Try the NoLED app from the Market, and set it to light up on GTalk. I use it on my SGS4g, and it works great.
[General Questions and Answers] Mao04:
I am sure you could do this with Tasker. You would also have to get "Secure Settings" from the Play store. Also you need to be rooted. It will probably take some research, but when I did a Google search for (tasker "screen on"), I got a number of hits that looked like they had the info you would need.

Also, Tasker is great for automating many other tasks on your phone so it is worth the $6 and change it costs.

Want the screen to wake up on getting notifications

Hi guys.

I'm using a Motorola defy plus with Gingerbread. What i want is, my screen to light up when I get any notification like sms, email, whatsapp etc.

I tried the app LightFlow which does the job quite well, but its consuming a lot of RAM. Same is the problem with Popup Notifier. I dont even need popups, I can perfectly live with the status bar notifications. I just want to screen to light up, in the locked state.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] neo.dcm:
Hi, thanks for the reply.

However, I'm not looking to pay for such a minor functionality. Also, using two apps will consume even more RAM than what the other two apps i tried did.

Please suggest something in the free domain.

Thanks.

Hello,

The S3 comes with a calendar that support events and tasks.

Is there a way to make them sync?

Notification volume is at Max and will even play the default tone when adjusted but will not play a notification sound or vibrate for any event until I restart.
