Any1 got a tip on how to install screen protector? I failed today :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eviatal:
Well, you can follow this video

I followed it step by step and got no bubbles :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasonlee1603:
Start by aligning the screen protector properly on the screen then start from the bottom part of the screen, using a microfibre towel to slide across the screen protector on to the phone, and you should be done without any bubbles. Apart from that, dust is also a cause of bubbles so you need to make sure that the screen is totally free of dust. ;)

I'm considering getting a Galaxy Note. I have three options: original international, original ATT, or Galaxy Note 2 (whenever it comes out).

I was leaning toward an international, but ATT 3G is very weak here. LTE coverage is much stronger. I know the international Note is quite a bit better spec-wise though.

I don't want to spend over $500ish, so I'm guessing that will rule out the Note 2.

I would buy a used original, but I have reservations since the stock ROM isn't available straight from Samsung. (I'm spoiled by Nexus phones...)

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilarora2003:
Original International would be better choice :D

Since Note 2 will not be in your budget I think so stick with option 1 :D But I am going to buy Note 2 soon :)

That's a bit steep for me. I hear the screen is even larger than the original, right?

I'm still leaning toward original international. 3g is terrible here though...my Galaxy Nexus practically goes into airplane mode when I'm at work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
Checkout the comparison between note and note 2 here
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Thanks for that link. Just to clarify, the international Notes only support HSPA+, right? That comparison lists LTE.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capitansid:
Go for note 1

For me, Samsung "somewhat cheated" on the screen of note 2.. It has a slightly less resolution with a slightly bigger screen size therefore the ppi of note 2 is lower compared to note 1.

720 x 1280 pixels, 5.5 inches (~267 ppi pixel density) = note 2

800 x 1280 pixels, 5.3 inches (~285 ppi pixel density) = note 1

I know its not obvious but I'm pretty sure that the edges of the pixels would be more noticeable if you squint your eyes hard enough. :eek:

And for me, the real world difference between these two phones is just the quadcore/dualcore CPUs.

Considering the current market, note1 would give you better bang for your buck.. besides, for me, the dualcore cpu of note1 is enough for my hard gaming and ton of multi-tab browsing. :highfive:

I think ill just hold off for note2 come next year or further down the line if they continue with note3.. for sure note3 would be a big jump compared to note1.

If you will go for note1, wait until note2 fully comes to the market.. for sure the price of note 1 will drop bigtime.. :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
I noticed the pixel density as well.

I think I'd be fine with the international Note 1. I've been using a Galaxy Nexus, and it seems perfectly fast for the most part. I'd imagine the international Note is pretty quick since it's on ICS now? (It's much better spec wise compared to the Galaxy Nexus or ATT Note, right?)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capitansid:
If you really are not sure if the coverage in your area would give you reliable service on a Gnote 1, try looking for a friend that has one and borrow it for a few hours and give it a spin.. see if its getting reliable coverage at your place..

Im not sure how it is in the USA but here in the Philippines, we dont care about 3g/HSPA+/LTE etc etc.. unless we want to get to the internet.. We never get dropped calls and SMS as long as we got the regular carrier signal.. (is that GSM? not sure how you call it) besides, calls and SMS is the main purpose of having a phone right? LOL

When it comes to performance, IMHO, i cant compare it to an AT&T note since i dont have an idea with that.. I can only testify with my international note1. ICS performance is great! cant compare it to GB tho since i upgraded it immediately to ICS a few hours after i bought it. It lags sometimes when my torrent client is doing some hash checks.. but its no biggie..

I get average 15hrs on a full charge.. regular to heavy use of calls and sms.. when I get to the internet (browsing/downloading/wifi hotspot) i get 6 hours on a full charge..

Im on stock 4.0.4 with notecore v14.1 std in case you want to know...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Nope, I sent 20 texts and used 70 minutes last month. Data speed is critical for me.

Lol, I don't even know anyone who uses anything but iPhone. I've never even seen a Note that wasn't in a store.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Still debating whether to stick with a Note. I bought one a few weeks ago, and it seemed somewhat laggy. I was having an unrelated problem, so I returned it.

Do you think the Touchwiz update will help things? What about Jelly Bean?

I'm buying it new, so I'm comparing it to an S3 or Note 2. Still trying to decide if it's a good buy at this point. I really like the hardware build, just not sure about ICS/ Touchwiz.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper2005:
I own the international note with ics 4.0.3 and I too experience significant lag. Having recently jumped ship from the iphone, the lag is noticeable and occasionally bothersome. Not just on the touch wiz but also in apps like Chrome when scrolling. In fact I can't even scroll down a forum page of this xda app without it going choppy.

I'm going to upgrade to the Note2 when it is released, as the reviews say it runs very smooth.

I think a lot of it has to do with Jelly Bean but also the quad core helps too. I think the note1 will smoothen out a bit once jelly bean comes out for it but who knows how long that will take. Surely Samsung will drag their heels on it as they won't want to lose sales of the note2, from people like me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xranekx:
My note is very fast. No lag no nothing. Probably the same as the notes of other members around here that "wasted" more than a few days testing different rom and kernel combinations and trying to f8nd the perfrct one. Its like painting a masterpiece. You get a piece of empty space that can become a great thing. Thats the beauty of android in my oppinion. The Note is really a great device.

Hey guys :)

as you may see is this my first post but i'm here for a pretty long time :p

I'm running miniCM9 3.0.4 for about a month now and never had any problems with it :D

now my question: sometimes my phone freezes and the let turns red, stays for about 4 or 5 seconds and then my phone reboots

well, it happens only pretty rarely but i would like to know what that red led wants to tell me :D my guess would be kernel-panic

it would be nice if someone could tell me

thanks in advance

[Microsoft Surface] tboy2000:
Here is a comparison chart for three RT tablets (not the full windows version).

Some info is still missing either because the information has not been released publicly yet or I cannot find the info. If anyone knows the missing info let me know.

Anyway, from doing this chart it seems that the Asus Vivo RT Tab could be the best. Reasons being is that it is thinner, lighter, faster CPU, better camera, better screen technology etc. To me, these are all positives.

What do you guys think?
[Microsoft Surface] TravisAntonio:
The information may be mismatch because there are not fully details about the Microsoft Surface. Correct me if I am wrong.
[Microsoft Surface] e.mote:
All RT tabs will be 1366x768 or better, since that's the minimum res for using Metro. In the same vein, I doubt if any RT tab will pack less than 2GB RAM, and they'll all have BT/etc.

The main attraction of Surface RT is its innovative Touch/Type Cover. That allows the device to maintain a tablet's portability, but with a laptop's functionality. Note that the Touch/Type Cover is unique in that it has a built-in trackpad. No other "keyboard cover" has that.

I also like the fact that MS prominently played up the 2x2 MIMO wifi antenna. Wifi performance is the main bottleneck for all mobile devices, as most tablets have abysmal antenna design. People obsess over trivial things like how many MP the cam has, or the stupid Quadrant bench, but they ignore the factors that really matter.

All these are academic, however, since the clinching factor, PRICE, isn't known yet for any of these.

And lastly, none of these will sell well, regardless of what specs they have (not unless MS decides to do the $199 deal). Windows RT for this iteration isn't ready for consumers--no apps, and Office is still in Preview. It's strictly a tinkerer/early adopter's province.
[Microsoft Surface] TravisAntonio:
Thanks for the information, anyways I think it's better to rely on Microsoft Surface since it will have better support than other companies I know...... (long story)
[Microsoft Surface] ohgood:
what do you mean by support?
[Microsoft Surface] jiffy1080:
Read up on the Asus Prime and Asus Infinity boards and you will see some of their quality issues. You will have a hard time finding that from Samsung and Microsoft has a lot at stake to make this great.
[Microsoft Surface] guitar1969:
Asus has serious QC issues with all their tablets, as others have indicated. I also think there's something to be said about the hardware manufacturer and software manufacturer relationship. Microsoft will spec everything to make sure it matches perfectly, just like Apple and Google(The Asus Nexus 7). There are boatloads of android tablets out there that don't run Android very well (Asus being one on their privately branded tablets).
[Microsoft Surface] non1oson:
I'm sure if anyone would be able to answer this however, on air planes they have USB ports, if you plug in your tablet, will it draw enough power to charge your tablet?

thanks
[Microsoft Surface] ohgood:
I guess you were answering me...

OK, hardware support. yes, its a much more expensive type of support than software. I've seen xbox returned for issues, Microsoft mice, keyboards, iLads, iPhones, radios, every type of consumer electronics made.

if you are suggesting there will be no defects or failures, hmmm, that's an interesting line of thinking.
[Microsoft Surface] godofwar424:
Asus tablets have been plagued with issues to the point where Amazon UK pulled their flagship infinity from its stores! Light bleed, and screen separation issues on a 500 quid tablet is a joke.

Also cheap wifi chips meaning no Dual band and cheap flash memory meaning IO issues. You won't get these problems from companies like Samsung due to their already strong relationships with chip makers such as Broadcom for wifi ect..

I will stick with a Samsung Tab tbh. I really wanted to buy the transformer infinity recently but all the issues put me off, so I am holding out for an ATIV SmartPC or SmartPC Pro
[Microsoft Surface] non1oson:
yeah im with the above now. I didn't want an infinity because of all the probs I've been reading so I was going to wait for the vivo.

now i have to research a bit more for a new win 8 tab
[Microsoft Surface] tboy2000:
Whoah! Apparently Surface does not have NFC according to the official specs http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msuk/en_GB/pdp/productID.257929400#tab5
[Microsoft Surface] MOFO-Bro:
So what, it's not a selling point anyway...to me at least.
[Microsoft Surface] yumms:
Doesn't have GPS either.
[Microsoft Surface] tboy2000:
I am happy for you :)
[Microsoft Surface] guitar1969:
No GPS? What are they thinking. How does the mapping work then if not on wi-fi?

Please tell me this has been updated
[Microsoft Surface] Miracle1980:
No Gps, No Nfc, 5pt Multitouch...OMG!!! Why Microsoft!
[Microsoft Surface] will25u:
If you live near micro center they have pre order up for Asus vivo tab rt for 499 which is cheaper than other retailers from what I know.
[Microsoft Surface] nuprotocol:
yep looks like they just dropped the price. Im sure other retailers will be doing the same.
[Microsoft Surface] godofwar424:
TBH, this is tablet, why on earth would you need more then 5pt multitouch??

Also why would you need GPS? Most people getting these tablets have smartphones which do gps, who wants to hold up a tablet and walk around using navigation software?? Maps will allow you to check a route and find your way even without GPS
[Microsoft Surface] limestar:
I have the Vivo RT which we are testing. It's a very good piece of kit. My Surface should arrive on Thursday so I will be able to respond with some thoughts on how they both compare.
[Microsoft Surface] Pengod:
Op update your image with this one, new spec info which corrects mistakes you made. Clearly you didn't like the Surface
[Microsoft Surface] guitar1969:
So acording to the chart the Asus offering doesn't have Bluetooth - Lame.
[Microsoft Surface] Pengod:
Only updated the Surface side.
[Microsoft Surface] diamantericos:
I see surface has quad core so why in alot of reviews they keep saying dual core. they need to get their facts straight.
[Microsoft Surface] Pengod:
Every review mentions the Tegra 3. Which is a quad core, simple
[Microsoft Surface] guitar1969:
Its because the reviewers hate to say the Surface has a quad core when the Ipad only has a Dual Core (LOL). I have noticed that as well that the reviewers seem to not understand this simple spec verywell.

This Surface Launch has really brought to my attention how these reviews can be somewhat biased based upon where their loyalties lie (No such thing as objective reporting anymore) - Same thing as the elections and the debates.

with that said, there are a few fair reviews that just present the facts, but there are many that are a joke.
[Microsoft Surface] DarkVasyaK:
So disappointed that Surface doesn't have NFC and GPS... It might be a good decision to choose Asus Vivo Tab but the design of Surface is incredible...
[Microsoft Surface] non1oson:
I agree with darkvasyak, surface is hella nice. but the specs are pretty lame. the reason some of us would want GPS on our tablet is for car use. we don't buy cd/mp3 players and slot them into our cars. we custom build our tablets into them, play the music through our tablet.

well that's what I do anyway, I dunno about you fossils, but using it in my car as the GPS iswell, would be nice. if it doesn't have gps, I'm not going to buy a navman or flop out my phone everytime I wanna gps somewhere

:>
[Microsoft Surface] DarkVasyaK:
I can already imagine how my father asks me to find our current place when abroad and then I need to explain him that this expensive toy from Microsoft doesn't have GPS for whatever reason and then he takes his Not so new iPad and does it well....
[Microsoft Surface] non1oson:
lol yeah I wouldn't bother with a tablet and no gps, kinda dumb. even though most would NEVER use it, there will be the odd chance they are in a car full of mates trying to get somewhere, get lost. "OH CHECK UR SURFACE FOR DIRECTIONS?" "soz ain't got gps bra" :eek::eek::eek:

I love the surface design, but I'll end up getting something else, what I like about asus, is their dock, but from all the previous android devices and their design problems, I dunno if I wanna buy something from asus anymore, I just don't want to risk buying their win 8 tablet, to find out the edges are peeling or something like the infinity did.

tbh I like technology, but I hate how we're in 2012 releasing a tablet without GPS... I mean, money making, it's a business or not, that just pisses us all off...
[Microsoft Surface] manmad:
Ever though about the fact that they just couldnt find a way to put a gps receiver in the device? As they know this is a major disadvantage.

Would you rather lose the full sized usb port in favor of a GPS?

Most ppl got a smartphone with gps+data, which means you get a much better/faster gps lock. So using your smartphone for gps is much better!

I would have loved it in there though, more features are always better and you might never know when it might be usefull.
[Microsoft Surface] guitar1969:
I was thinking about this too. Remeber the Asus Transformer Prime had all sorts of issues with their GPS because of the metal backing plate. I believe MS decided to ditch it because of the ergonomics and wanting to have powerful WiFi.

with that said, the Surface advertises a "Compass" - What is that. Is it just a Wi-Fi location device ?
[Microsoft Surface] Delesh:
Only the iPad with cellular radios has a GPS chip. Maybe Microsoft will put it into that version of the Surface.
[Microsoft Surface] guitar1969:
Every other Android Tablet has GPS. Seemed like a logical thing for MS to include since they also make the "Streets and Trips" programs for GPS use.
[Microsoft Surface] non1oson:
how big would a gps device be? and how far has it come to be smaller like the rest of technology?
[Microsoft Surface] naplesbill:
It is very likely that an addon GPS module would work for in car usage as stated above.

It does seem they could have included it but, not likely a deal breaker for most
[Microsoft Surface] SonicTab:
Would a GPS dongle work?
[Microsoft Surface] non1oson:
prob only way to go
[Microsoft Surface] VillainousVivi:
Well, since the surface doesn't have Cell connectivity, unless the maps are pre-loaded, it wouldn't work very well anyways. If you're going to attach the surface to a cell phone or other device for data on the go, then it's likely that other device has GPS already built in.

If you want to use the surface for GPS, my thought would be to see if any bluetooth/wired gps units will work with it and download maps prior to going anywhere. I'm almost willing to bet that Microsoft MapPoint or Streets & Trips will become available in the future with a dongle that can be used.
[Microsoft Surface] cleblanc92:

[Microsoft Surface] tboy2000:
I am finding my Surface big and heavy. Am considering returning it to get the Asus Vivo Tab RT. It is thinner, lighter and smaller albeit it marginally. Also better Camera. Surface has only 1mpx Camera which is poor, low speaker volume, no gps and no nfc. Only redeeming features are kick stand and touch cover. Not sure what to do.?
[Microsoft Surface] Valerianus:
The keyboard dock isn't quite as good on the Vivo RT, though. Furthermore, lack of GPS nor NFC are true dealbreakers. Also, the camera may be better, but how many people use their tablet as a camera? However, it is approximately 160 grams lighter, so that is a true plus.
[Microsoft Surface] SonicTab:
I have the Asus RT.

It's GPS works great with the maps app, have not tried it's NFC.

Very nice lightweight build, and the free keyboard dock contains a battery.

I generally never use keyboards with a tablet but if I did

I think i'd rather it be a full KB + battery than the surface touch version.

If your thinking of an alternative to the Surface Rt , might want to check out the Intel based Clovertail cpu tablets.

They cost about the same, have similar battery life and size, but run all windows programs.

Problem is right now they seem very hard to find.

I really like MS's new OS on tablets, but figure ARM seems limiting not being able to run existing software.
[Microsoft Surface] Osir1s:
I think we are still in the age of comprimise myself. Would love the design and build of surface with the asus or samsung specs. Same goes for atom based ones so far and will probably be true of the pro. Still first gen hardware from MS, much like WP I think they will get the ideal specs next time around and continue with the high build quality.

Only disappointing thing about the whole Win8 launch so far has been how hard it is to get your hand on non surface devices
[Microsoft Surface] SonicTab:
I agree, I see your in AU and here in Canada the only tablets or convertible's available

are the Surface RT in just 3 cities, and most stores have the Asus RT.

Those are fine, but what I really wanted to see is the full windows 8 on new hardware.

Ivy Bridge may run too hot for tablets, it will take Haswell to have something with decent battery life and specs.

The Clover trail Atom sounds ideal for this gen, if they ever get in stores.
