[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
I am an enthusiast Note owner, grabbed one of the very first ones 10 months ago. It's simply the ONLY TRUE SMARTPHONE out there, NOTHING compares to it.

Although I am extremely satisfied by my Note I was obviously very interested in the Note II not because I was planning in upgrading anytime soon but because in time that was surely going to be my next smartphone.

Well, having just seen the actual specs I can say that I am (gladly BTW) going to wait for the Note III and if my Note gets stolen/lost before then I am going to buy a new NOTE "I" (yes, "one", as in the original version of the Note)!

The reason? Well the Note II is improved practically in everything, in some areas it's been even GREATLY improved, I really like it a lot. The problem is that the ONE thing they have not only NOT improved upon but actually made it WORSE (or, better said: less good) is the most critical one: the SCREEN!!

5.5" 16:9 vs. 5.3" 16:10 means that it has a very slightly bigger overall area BUT it's NARROWER so it's actually smaller in the most critical dimension of any wide screen!! WTF?!? Wide screens (looked in landscape) don't need any less "vertical" space, they are already plenty wide and what they all lack is vertical space/height when doing anything else but watching movies!!

It's the same phenomenon we have witnessed in PC monitors. We have gone from 4:3 to 16:10 (reasonable enough although I initially resisted the change and only gave up when I began to watch a lot of videos/movies on it) to 16:9 which is totally unnecessary and just F'ing stupid!! It just makes you having to always scroll even more!

As a matter of fact, I am going to cling to my 24" 16:10 Eizo for a long long time yet...

So, in short, I love practically everything about the Note II BUT its most critical thing: the screen.

I will pass.

P.S. Actually there is another aspect in which the Note I is better than this second version but it's totally subjective and it's a pretty unimportant aspect to me: the looks. It's not that I don't like the Note II, it's actually pretty good looking. But the Note I is, to me, much better looking.

Good for you bud. Anything else you wanted to say before thread gets closed?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
If you imply that this is just one more of the several threads opened on the Note II, this one is supposed to focus on this one point: the most important spec of the Note, the screen, is WORSE on the Note II than on the original Note.

BTW, I started this thread especially because on the last thread I have been active on apparently I was going in too many details in my replies (i.e. my posts were "too long") and my last post was deleted.

I figured it's OK to be as much "long" (i.e. THOROUGH and EXHAUSTIVE) as I want on a thread where I am the OP.

If mods see it differently so be it, I guess I will become a lurker and be done with it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nandihno:
Note 2 is not worth the upgrade imho as soon as we get jb cm10 will be excellent
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Moandal:
I have to say I agree with you. 16:10 is always better than 16:9. The Note 1 has a higher pixel density and simply more pixels.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
Um, you do realize that the screen is only 'less wide' by .09 inches?

You're entitled to your opinion, of course, but aren't you overreacting a bit?

I can't even imagine how you'd react to the iphone changing from 4:3 to 16:9.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
My thoughts exactly. I was almost hoping the Note II would be so good I would simply have to have it but in a way I am "relieved" it has this ONE fatal flaw... LOL :laugh:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
I don't care all that much for PPI, it's way overrated and it's good enough in both cases anyway. The issue is having to scroll even more than you have to now when using the screen in landscape doing anything else but watching movies... Browsing, documents reading (let alone editing..!) etc etc

P.S. Anyway, they did go from a Pentile matrix to an RGB one so it should actually be better notwithstanding the slightly lower PPI. As I said, the Note II really is better in EVERYTHING but screen size/aspect ratio! Crazy... :laugh:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
Of course, but the point is that not only they did NOT improve upon the Note's major draw (its big ass display), they actually made it (slightly) LESS appealing!!

(And all the while, ironically enough, making everything else better... :laugh: )

I am just a bit disappointed, that's all.

The Note II is still the second best Smartphone in the world, to me.. :)

Ok, jokes aside and expanding a little here: I will not upgrade to a Note II and I will replace my Note "I" with a Note "I" (if I was forced to before the Note II comes out) because I have tons of accessories for it and since its major draw has NOT been improved upon I would totally lack the motivation to discard the numerous and expensive accessories I have for the original Note and to buy the same ones for the new Note.

If I started today "from scratch" I would buy a Note II indeed... ;)

The real point is that I don't see it as a compelling upgrade for any Note I owner.

LOL, they can make that P.O.S. any aspect ratio they want, it would still be the same useless crap that it is, from both an HW and a SW standpoint :laugh:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LxMxFxD:
I think youre overreacting a bit. Like you, i saw the 1280x720 spec and was sorely disappointed. I also happen to be one of the lucky few who does not suffer from black clipping on my note. If i had the clipping, no amount of pixels would make me happy. We have yet to see if that issue has been solved. If it has, note ii is a worthy upgrade for many.

As for your apple hate, simmer down. Competition is good. I havent owned an apple product since i bought a 2nd gen ipod touch in 2007. But i still watch every keynote video. Apple may be for the masses but they occasionally do something revolutionary.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
I think you're missing the point.

It's that the phone has lost 80 pixels (i.e., 1280x800 to 1280x720).

When you're browsing things, the extra pixels do matter so you can view more content on the screen.

16:10 > 16:9 anyday.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jay-Taicho:
I think I'll actually prefer the 16:9 screen. Seems to be the standard now for high end androids anyway.

And isn't the screen pixel arrangement RGB instead of pentile on the Note II? Can't stand the whole 'pentile is rubbish' statements I see everywhere (as I love the screen on my Note), but I'm sure there's a noticeable visual improvement to the screen on the Note II.

I for one, am definitely upgrading.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
I bummed about the screen also..I'll be honest I bought the Note for the screen plain and simple..

I use landscape a lot so any bit taken away from me I will definitely notice.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cougar214:
Hmm. That's odd. My "spn-conf.xml" file already says " AT&T "......But my carrier says "HOME"......That makes no sense. It has to be the way Straight Talk has the sim cards provisioned.

The file says,

</xml version="1.0" encoding="utf"-8"?>

<spnOverrides>

<spnoverride numeric="310410" spn=" AT&T " />

</spnOverrides>

Notice the spaces before and after the AT&T. I thought maybe if I removed those spaces it would change the carrier name to say AT&T. But no such luck. No matter what I do it defaults back to those spaces before and after the AT&T. Any ideas anyone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Xposed framework and wanam xposed module allows you to set a custom carrier label. You could also use the gravity box module to do the same.

Shi* happens. In your case probably in the worst stage, while setting partitions and flashing bootloader. You have no choice, just disconnect it from computer and reconnect trying again. If it fail, but your phone will boot in download mode, try to kill all unnecessary service and try again with Odin. Maybe lower version (1.3) will help.

Dear Friends,

I was using a stock de-odexed XWLUP ROM and wanted to try out the Ressurection remix 2.6.1 Rom. Below are the steps i followed.

1) Went into CWM mode, did a wipe data/format

2) Did a wipe cache

3) Selected the Ressurection remix 2.6.1 rom file and started to install

4) In the aroma installer, i selected the custom installation and selected all the options that were displayed.

5) The installation stopped at 50% and it was in the same level for about 10 minutes

6) Suddenly the screen switches off and the phone becomes totally unresponsive.

Below are the methods i tried to get the phone back to life but in vain

1) Tried hard reset and soft reset

2) Tried using a USB Jig but totally unresponsive

It would be great if some experts let me know a way to get my galaxy s2 back to life,

Cf root is the problem. Someone bicked his phone using this kernel with sammy 4.0.4 while trying to instal cMIUI rom. The same happened to him, installation stopped and screen turned off after a while. He could not save his phone with jig or sth. I don't know he tried jtag. Sorry for grammer mistakes, my brain stopped working yesterday, maybe I became ill.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
I'm not certainly sure because I don't use Chainfire kernels since S1, but what I remember he didn't recompile those kernels. Only add unsecured adb and root binary files. If it's true than it is stock 4.0.4 kernel with EMMC CAP ERASE command enabled. This mean that if your EMMC chip is classified as 'INSANE' than every wipe in non stock recovery (any cwm) can brick your phone permanently.

There is a solution but at the cost of 2GB of internal memory. Use modified pit which makes data partition on space dedicated to 'internal sdcard' (user data).

But use this feature only if you can't do anything else.
