[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
Great comment mate! My opinion is that both, CPU and RAM are important. Both S3, international and US version are very good and we will have no problems with them for maybe the next 3-4 years, even if we will change them after 2 years. Look all those old phones. Have you seen somebody with a Samsung S or with a Xperia X8 (for example) complaining about speed or applications? I don't think so. I guess we all be proud about this amazing phone called S3 and for its series is a flagship (and also for the rest of smartphones). I'm sure that gt-i9305 is exclusively for Vodafone, so will come locked, with Vodafone logo, too glossy and impossible to buy if you don't leave in Germany and you're not Vodafone clients. If you get it probably will be hard to have warranty. If you search the Web is saying that is exclusively. However is still not sure when will be sold and the price.

You have the RAM, we have the CPU. The CPU have the same importance as the RAM. Both are working together helping each other. As we have seen in the useless benchmarks, the intl. version is better, so the CPU is more better that the extra ram, pretty useless in Android. Maybe in windows phone is usefully but not in android. My S3 is showing 650/779 memory used but is much less needed. As the phone with 512 mb, Android use about 88% of the memory for caching app. When the app is not used for a long time that apps is cleaned from cache. That doesn't means the app is not working anymore. If the application need to trigger a notification, will still do it when necessary. Some examples: Gmail, facebook

Go for note 2 telling u
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
Trolling heh? Want Note 2, go for it. I'm staying with my lovely S3 ;)
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
I'd actually prefer neither if I got to choose again. I currently own the S3 but I'm not entirely a big fan of these big screens. The screen on the S3 is absolutely gorgeous though, and it does provide lots of benefits over my previous S1. However, I miss the ability to operate my phone with one hand so the S3's not really fitting, and that's even less so for the Note 2. Perhaps time will make me love big screens more? I've only got my S3 for a week so it's really a new experience for me :p
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
Before I had a Sony Ericsson which was half as S3. When I got the S3 three months ago I was like "damn, this is huge". Right now the things has been changed and my S3 looks normal :D

Also I can use it with one hand with no problems. I have large fingers (playing piano a bit as well) :rolleyes:

note 2 to use when travelling

s3 to use normally

S3 best in world

[Galaxy S III General] skip24ftlb:
As an s2 owner due his upgrade, its a tough choice.

ive read through the 14 pages of this thread and in some respects the note fits what i use my phone for more. net browsing etc.

then the size issue comes into play. The note 2 probably will fit in my pocket just or im gonna have to find a bum bag to fit.

As for the ram issue of 1gb s3 vs 2gb note.

could the need for more ram be graphics card related due to the bigger screen ? Dont flame me for asking, but i dont know. I do know graphics cards in pc's have grown in memory size.

paul
[Galaxy S III General] EdgaBimbam:
If my s3 would have 2gb rams for sure i would keep it but seems that 1gb isnt enough for s3.... However note 2 too much problems for me because of the size, yeh using it at home is amazing but i'm always in action and it isnt so good for me. S3 size best for me :)
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
Yes Paul, that's one of the reason of the extra ram, as it's the reason of the extra ram in Galaxy Tab 10.1

Also, don't forget that the Note 2 have a S-Pen. There are plenty of features and applications for the S-Pen, so the extra ram is needed there too.

S Memo is working smooth with a pen, but if I'm trying the handwriting into an app like Dolphin, is lagging a bit (not sure if it's app fault due of bad optimizing). Guess that's all. As resume:

Extra RAM on Note 2 because:

- Bigger Screen

- LTE

- S-Pen and its apps
[Galaxy S III General] DforDesign:
What has ram to do with screen się When its the same resolution as on siii? LTE? Is it so memory consuming? I probably need to update my knowledge...

Wysyłane z mojego GT-I9100 za pomocą Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
For LTE as I know is the modem (hope I don't need a knowledge update too). For screen, had no idea is the same resolution. However, the S-Pen and apps, LTE still remain :)
[Galaxy S III General] JohannP:
I still think the S3 is a bit too big. I am still hoping that Samsung would make a TOP OF THE LINE 4 inch phone. It's sorta is not fair that all the best phones are mega huge!!! What about people with small hands? Apple is the only choice for those people... Sammy should do something about that. :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S III General] azeter:
The note doesn't have a led for missed calls and missed events that's a deal breaker for me as I luv sooo very much the led feature on my s3;) ;)
[Galaxy S III General] japjit100:
I agree with u:thumbup:
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
Really? There is no led notification in Note 2?
[Galaxy S III General] :
Yes it does so its not a deal breaker for you. Its in the same place as the S3's 100% has one. I've seen it.
[Galaxy S III General] japjit100:
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
[Galaxy S III General] japjit100:
I think note 2 in specifically wins but still

Samsung galaxy s3 win better comfort in hands And lower cost

S3 wins and also note 2 wins because

Is tab + phone

It's ur choose

Which one u want :cool:
[Galaxy S III General] pyfviperx:
They should really remake a i9000 with revised hardware... I loved this phone so munch it was perfect. 4inch screen,thin,and classy.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Exactly lol. The Note 2 DOES have a LED notification light.
[Galaxy S III General] CreepyDroid:

[Galaxy S III General] josefmawas:
Hope Samsung makes a galaxy s4 with 5" because after seeing my friends note, I love big screens
[Galaxy S III General] lelinuxien52:
What ? Galaxy S3 screen (4.8 inch) is not enough bigger for you ? For me, Galaxy Note is between Tablet and Smarphone. It's too big for being "pocketable" !
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Thats why Samsung is making a note, for those who like big screens .......
[Galaxy S III General] xkruz:
I think people who sketch alot should have buy the note II

But not for me.. i really love sgs 3.. fits well in my pocket

Now im not really sure, so im asking here....will the LTE bands that are coming on The International Note 2 and I-9305 work on At&t's LTE?

im getting either way, i just want to know for future decisions.
[Galaxy S III General] CreepyDroid:
You might want to wait for the rumored quad-core AT&T's Note II: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31121944&postcount=3

thanks for the info and post man....
[Galaxy S III General] ciscostud:
Ya I was stuffing a note in my pockets theathered to a secure wire at a cell store today. Just trying out the size. People where staring at me. Anyways the note 1 feels good and I'm sure the note 2 will be better.

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

Where's the preorder?

Also will the International version work in Canada?
[Galaxy S III General] gatorrph:
At last, the real reason people worry about the phone's one handed utility.
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
And we have a winner! :)

As I said before., I don't find S3 hard to be hold in one hand but note do.

PS For those with small hands: use a laptop while watching porn. It's gatorrph recommendation :D
[Galaxy S III General] japjit100:
hey s3 win or note 2 win

Answer
[Galaxy S III General] Yusei:
Maybe by Nov/Dec
[Galaxy S III General] Madarox:
I meant that the S3 would be good when you are out and about since it's more pocketable and the nexus 7 for indoor usage or if you are traveling or planning to stay in a place for a lot of time.The note 2 is not as good as a 7inch tablet since the screen is much bigger,it's a 1.5inch difference but it really makes a difference in actual usage.3G problem can be solved by using your phone as a wifi hotspot or wait for a 3G version(rumored).And it's always better to have 2 toys instead of one:cool:

Sorry,I just noticed your reply when I was looking around in the thread again lol.
[Galaxy S III General] 3473:
The responses are kinda a given since this is an s3 forum :laugh: I have an s3 but may replace with the note, loved the huge screen on my friends note 1....hopefully the 2gb ram will reduce redraws and browser refreshes
[Galaxy S III General] zkyevolved:
Really? I've actually never heard of that. I can understand though if you're a woman. Those jeans pockets are so small and tight on women's pants I understand that but I'm a guy and even with my tighter pair of jeans the Galaxy Note fits just fine. Yeah it's wide but there's no problem because it's so thin. I love my note. I might go for the note two because it has the extra gig of ram. If the s3 had the extra gig of ram internationally I'd probably be getting that. But it doesn't. And the note two looks like with those specs and huge battery it'll be a good device to keep for at least a year. Hehe.

[Galaxy S III General] jonathanyong:
If nothing better comes out, will be getting the note2 to replace my gs3 for sure.

- 2 gb ram so multitasking will be amazing

- awesome battery, can't wait to get a 6000+ mah extended one! :eek:

- non-PenTile screen! Proper 3 rgb subpixels

- s pen might actually be cool, some cool features e.g. Hovering over Web Page elements with mouse-over events will be much more intuitive, less fingerprints on screen.

- will appreciate the bigger screen for text readability when zoomed out

- hoping the Cpu / gpu will be more overclockable due to bigger heatsink.
[Galaxy S III General] Madarox:
I agree with you in everything except for the battery and screen.The Note 2 needs that big battery to power up the huge screen so its battery life is probably just as good as s3's.S3's screen might be pentile but it got 306ppi while note 2's screen is RGB but with only 267ppi so it's kinda of a draw here except for size of course:) Anyways,I agree that the note 2 is better than the s3 if you don't mind the big screen or if you actually like it.I didn't get neither of them yet(will get the s3 some time before school which is on 15th) but I just decided to get the S3 because it's easier for one-hand usage and it's already on the market(I'm not patient hehe).
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Wrong, according to samsung, the battery life on the note 2 is gonna blow people away. The S3 has great battery life but I expect the note 2 to have better battery life.
[Galaxy S III General] Madarox:
Well I hope so,it's good to see that samsung is starting to care about the battery department like motorola:good:
[Galaxy S III General] jonathanyong:
Well think about it this way - the screen is 14% bigger than the gs3 but the battery is 50% bigger

That will more than compensate for the extra power consumption assuming that the non PenTile arrangement isn't much more thirsty.
[Galaxy S III General] CreepyDroid:
With the note 1's 2500mah battery I can manage to get between 3.5 and 5h (depends on the usage) of screen-on time. So, admitting the note II has less pixels, more efficient processor (28nm ?), 25+% bigger battery and probably more optimized software I bet that the battery life will be pure awesomeness.
[Galaxy S III General] Ausboy 2011:
Processor?? Where did u get that info from?
[Galaxy S III General] EdgaBimbam:
exynos 4420 goes 32nm, but it is a lot of better power efficient comparing with note processor 40nm. Resolution are nearly the same, but note 2 comes with higher mA battery, optimized software+32nm processor= long hours using without charger ;D
[Galaxy S III General] rajaspidey:
what about features ?? smart stay, sbeam, PIP ?? all available in note 2 ??
[Galaxy S III General] zas311:
I heard it from a guy who attended the unpacking event. Note 2 will have all the goodies of S3 plus the SPen. :)

[HTC One S] omar_g:
Hi There,

I've sold my HTC One S and need to reflash it to stock. It was originally on Orange UK.

I can't find the Orange UK rom or RUU anywhere.

While I don't think the buyer will know or care what ROM it has, the HTC boot screen saying its running a software build owned by HTC doesn't really help.

Has anyone got any ideas of what I can do?

Thanks,

Omar
[HTC One S] mughalgxt:
OKAY,

1. Try flashing stock recovery hopefully the initial boot image shall be gone ELSE

2. Save your CID, change it to generic CID like 11111111, run 2.2 RUU(EUR firmware or your firmware if available) (by this time you should have manually flashed stock recovery, and bootloader locked), after this your phone is completely STOCK! If wanna return back to orange, unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, gain root and change the cid back to original! than flash stock recovery and bootloader lock!

[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Yes, the kernel source has dropped.

http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads

Q: What is a kernel?

A: The kernel works with the hardware and the OS/applications to manage system resources. It helps manage memory, processes, and system devices. It deals more closely with the hardware than the OS/applications and acts a bridge between the two.

Q: Great, so..... kernel source?

A: Before HTC released it's kernel source, developers did not have the "inside info" on the kernel, which makes developing with the kernel much more difficult. The kernel source is a "decrypted" version that allows developers to modify it and improve it.

Q: So the Devs are happy, what about me?

A: The developers now have the tools to build fully-working AOSP. AOSP is Android in it's purest form, as if straight from Google. AOSP ROMs have significantly more better battery life, and more features for the user. Remember; happy developers leads to a happy you!

The most prominent bugs in AOSP are the network lag caused by a network monitoring tool when using data, the screen flickering issue, and the total loss of Bluetooth. Hopefully these bugs will be fixed soon so we can enjoy AOSP goodness!

So, keep and eye out on the Developer section to see what exciting things our developers can do in the coming months!

This is pretty amusing, especially because I have been sending threatening emails to HTC about violations of the GPL and my intending to file a formal complaint (and I'm certainly not alone, and there have been online petitions so I'm not even remotely suggesting that I had anything to do with it), and I keep getting responses like "we typically release source code 90 to 120 days after an OTA" over and over again to which I repeatedly respond "that's not good enough; 90 to 120 days is still a violation of the GPL".

Ultimately, this turns out to be less than 30 days after ICS dropped. That *is* good news. Maybe HTC is starting to see that Samsung is eating their lunch.
