[Galaxy Note II General] gatorrph:
I agree if you already have a Note trading for the Note 2 is probably not wise. I've lusted after the Note for a long time but waited for it to come to T-Mobile because I need native wifi calling and it's not available on the AT&T or international models. By the time it dropped on Tmo there were lots of rumors that the Note 2 was about to be released and I decided to wait a little longer. I'm glad I did. Although the original would be satisfactory to me if I had it, I like every single difference the Note 2 brings to the table. I like the 16x9 ratio because the width of the original was my only concern in regards to size and looking at the side by side photos of both displaying a web page in the Engadget gallery, it looks like the new screen displays them even better than the original. The web page is scaled to the screen so you still see the full width of the page but more information is displayed at the bottom of the web page. The difference in the size of individual images and text on the page appears undetectable to me. It looks like a win win win situation to me; more information, displayed just as clearly, on a device that fits my hand better. I know the difference in the resolution of the 720 screen will not be apparent to my old eyes and there are reports that the new pixel lay out produces a clearer display anyway. The screen may still be pentile I don't know, but it is apparent from the illustration on the Verge website there is one red, one green and one blue sub-pixel per macro pixel. Seems a LOT like RGB to me.

Screen size/resolution issues aside, all other changes are definite upgrades. I won't list the differences, that's adequately and better done elsewhere. But to repeat myself, although It's not worth trading in a Note, for those of us that missed the original, the Note 2 needs to make no apologies for downgraded features. There just aren't any.
[Galaxy Note II General] fvig2001:
So since the note 2 is still an AMOLED device, this will still suffer from burn-in right? It's the only thing that's stopping me from upgrading to a note device from a crappy but reliable lcd device.

I use a lot of GPS software and I don't draw very fast so, it's a valid concern for me.
[Galaxy Note II General] katamari201:
Jesus christ AMOLED has been out for how many years and how many instances of burn-in have you heard of? You have the same chance as getting an exploding lithium battery. I have never heard of burn-in on any AMOLED phone, besides a handful of unsubstantiated claims by shifty forum posters.
[Galaxy Note II General] rockky:
Nice to see...had question about that

Thank U

QUOTE=hot_spare;30971329]It's moved from 16:10 ratio to 16:9 and diagonal increase from 5.3 to 5.5. Using simple maths, it's just 2% increase in screen surface area (12.92 sq inch compared to 12.62 sq inch in Note).

But now it's not a PenTile matrix like in Note 1. So even though the screen is slightly bigger and lesser pixels, the sharpness is better.

GSMArena compared the screens.

Definitely much sharper than original Note even with (slightly) lower resolution.[/QUOTE]

God talk about missing the point. The 'design' IS an upgrade although minor.

THE upgrade is in the area that makes the Note the Note...the many cool software innovations.

(in fact hardware design innovation is rapidly reaching a point of marginal improvement compared to software/UI development which is delatively infinite).

It is the future.

QUOTE=katamari201;30942820]Good thing I bought the Gnote a month ago instead of waiting for this thing and being disappointed. My next phone will probably be the teased Nokia cameraphone, if nothing better comes along, and IFA sure hasn't shown me anything special. The Gnote II is basically a Gnote wrapped in GSIII body, which I don't like, and with a quad-core, which frankly I don't see the point in upgrading for since I owned a quad-core phone before and was not impressed by the performance difference. Maybe in a couple of years. More RAM is nice but the impact is minor to non-existent for my uses. Like many bloggers and reviewers have stated, the Gnote II is not a major upgrade from the Gnote, not really worth upgrading if you can wait for something better, and the only major change is the S-pen. It is more rubberdized with more friction and pressure points. There are a few more tricks you can do with it. However, the S-pen is pure novelty for me and I never even take it out anymore.

Boo on Samsung for being lazy and recycling the GSIII design on the Gnote II. Remember back in the day when companies actually released different looking phones instead of copying/pasting one design for their entire line? My biggest want was for a lighter phone, because 180ish grams is pretty heavy. Samsung actually made it ever so slightly heavier. I know there's a bigger battery, but still...[/QUOTE]
[Galaxy Note II General] fvig2001:
Actually I've already seen 3 different cases of burn in 3 units in demo units of galaxy note in radioshack and bestbuy. 2 of them had a permanent low battery warning on the screen. I also am worried about the whole uneven screen coloring due to static elements such as status bar and the like (which has been discussed a lot in this forum).

My Galaxy note it is severely burned on notification bar and I can see the icons anytime that I use full screen to see video or images, like for example 00:00 in the hour or the icon of zd box

And my S2 got burn in too in notification bar.

I don't think it would be fair to make a judgement on how bad or good the note 2 is until we have actually get the chance to use it...

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

For those of yous that are buying the note 2, which colour do you think you will get? My note 1 is black....but I'm seriously considering getting the white note 2 since I'm not too sure about the grey colour one, or the titanium silver it whatever colour they call it :p
[Galaxy Note II General] wonsanim:
I pre order my note 2 in the titanium Grey my note is blue.
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
I like dark colors on AMOLED since it makes the black blend in with the rest of the phone. It annoys me a little that Samsung doesn't just release white and black in the first place. So I may get grey but white looks nice too.
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Did you pre order yours from negri?
[Galaxy Note II General] Dousan:
I'll be returning to an Android device with this. I'm not to sure about the colors, though from the pictures I'm leaning to the white even though it will be very noticable when using it as a phone without a headset of some kind.

I will decide the color when I can see them in real life.

Dousan...
[Galaxy Note II General] fvig2001:
If I do end up getting a note 2, the cheapo online place I buy from will probably run out of white units and I'll end with black... with a white case/black leather case :D. Well hopefully, I do end up with a white one when I buy this once the price goes down here(price becomes equivalent/less compared to the unit price in the US).
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
I'm Gonna get the darkest color available as soon as it is released.
[Galaxy Note II General] osazone:
I'll wait until new year at least. Because GS3 price dropped 20% in 3 months. There may be new color options then. But if not, titanium gray is my color.

[HTC Rezound] roadeo:
I've unlocked my Rezound and rooted it. I checked the root and its says "congratulations, you are rooted" With that said... I downloaded WiFi Tehter (just as I did with my last HTC Incredible) and tried to hook up my Motorola Xoom. The Xoom won't recognized the Rezounds Wifi but my wife's laptop will but then it won't get online. As a matter of fact, my daughter's IPhone can recognize the Rezound tether and get online.

I have tried every combination of settings to no avail and am willing to try ANYTHING at this point. :confused:
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
make sure you're set to 'Netd (master)' and not ad-hoc. Android devices don't like connecting to ad-hoc networks.

[HTC Rezound] roadeo:
Yeah, didn't work.
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
the updated version has the rights set up(yellow icon)

check wifi driver reload

and check enable routing fix

and have your wifi encryption(password) disabled.

are you sure you have root? http://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip flash this in custom recovery (i use amonRa) itll give you root on a stock or any rom. open superSU and update binary

download "root checker" from the app store (burrow apps)

start it up grant permission and be sure your rooted.

Also is your mobile data on? i know it sounds funny but i made this mistake before. no mobile data no tether but you can still connect.

also you need to be unlocked, on a custom recovery, and rooted.. i personally use an uninstaller to uninstall to the stock mobile hotspot app.. ive heard it interferes with the rooted apps.

Just installed the TemICS - UX 1.2 Rom, which is excellent, form the stock firmware. On stock Rom I used Samsung AllShare app all the time and would like to get it installed on the ICS Rom.

I tried use Titanium Back to restore - no good.

Tried downloading the dlna.apk and placing in the system\bin location and rebooting - still no luck :eek:

This there any other method to try to install the Samsung AllShare app ??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Samsung proprietary apps often require Samsung proprietary bits, like TouchWiz. If you can't use the standard UI or adb/shell package manager techniques to install, you may be out of luck.

Watch your logcat and you may see what you are missing.

I found this when I was installing apps before having the gapps installed:

07-08 15:43:40.259: E/PackageManager(249): Package com.mobiata.flighttrack requires unavailable shared library com.google.android.maps; failing!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Ok I have gsm Gnex with AOKP jelly bean build 1 with Franco kernel overclocked to 1.4 GHz and I am experiencing a random reboot problem starting today around 1 am.

I do have cpu undervolted, but it was undervolted for some time now, but just to make sure, I increased the voltage just in case. No luck.

Next thing I though that might have been a problem is the fact that I dirty flashes the AOKP build 1 from the nightly of AOKP, but I flashed it for a time now and never had that problem until today.

Another thing I changed is that I changed the boot animation from AOKP one to cyanogenmod 10 one. That, I flashed yesterday.

One thing I do like to mention is that I think there might be something to do with SetCPU profiles, because I set the profiles so it underclocks when phone screen is off or if the phone cpu or battery heats up, and one reboot was when I was unlocking the screen and another one was when I was watching youtube, and the third one was when I was playing a game, which heats up my phone. The thing is though, I have set those profiles since day 1 and never have encountered any reboots until today

Can anyone help me? Is it something that I should care about, or something that is temporary? Any recommended actions? I hate factory wiping, so that is the last thing I wanna do. Thanks in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Tough one. Myself I'd start off by disabling all OC/undervolt settings & disable SetCPU profiles. If that doesn't resolve the issue, temporarily flash back stock kernel.

Ok so i had a 32gb card and it started failing on my phone, it would work sometimes or ask me to format it, sometimes it would work fine so i assumed it was about to die soon so i was able to back everything up,.

Bought a new 64gb sandisk card, the one suggested from the accessories list...well i've been using it for about a week now and it just died on me today.

doesn't even get detected...

i never formatted, it, read that this phone could support it right away...well now nothing works and i've lost everything....again!!!

this is really frustrating...i've lost some major saved games and it's depressing

could it be the phone...or was it just a bad card

i've used the original charger and battery at all times...

any clues?

Look for File Restore Plus software. it will retrieve all of your lost files in your micro SD card. this happened to me a few times but this software saved my butt!

I may be wrong here but I seem to remember some people having issues withe the 64gb cards. Search around and youll probably find something.

Also check www.sdcard.org for more info on the sdxc cards and a sd formating tool that may help.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
To see efs folder you need to root your phone. It is located in / folder.

Efs backup size is different because of method used to perform this operation.

Size of this partition is ca. 20 MB that why if you made backup in so called 'raw dump' (img) it has mentioned 20MB. It's the best method u can use because it has all information about partition and files (most important are files permissions and owner informations).

Another methods backup only files stored on efs partition and compressing it into one file (.tar or .tar.gz). They can be highly compressed because of its binnary structure fulfilled mostly by zeroes.

It's good to have couple different backup formats of this partition. Most important is nv_data.bin which have stored your device specific informations as IMEI and such things.

In this partition also are stored infos about WiFi, bluetooth mac address etc.
