Someone commented in a parallel thread that early release photos of the Verizon Note 2 look like nothing more than a bigger G3.

If we are talking 5.5" screen, quad core CPU with 2gb ram and JB, this is a no brainer for me.

My G3 goes to another family member and I get the Note2, along with a tempered glass screen protector, 6000 mah battery and whatever 128gb SD card is on the market by then.

Consumerism at its best ...

I don't think is was random as long as you believe in aliens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XRaptor29:
The galaxy S3 has better performance then the note 2. So your paying for a bigger screen and a pen. That's about it. And the Note 2 has JB but the S3 gets it in October. so my verdict is keeping the S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
How does one know how the Note 2 performs when it is not even out yet? I am guessing the quad core with 2 gigs of ram will outperform the Verizon S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
That's what Im thinking. And even if it performs the same as the s3 I want it because of the huge screen. That's my whole thing is the screen that's way too big that people are gonna be like wow! I want that

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
did you go into the future and use the note2 to verify the performance difference?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] theactualchrisbrown:
I will continue using and enjoying my S3. No use getting gadget envy, I have this phone for a few more years, and in no way am I disappointed about that.

Dont thank/like/rep my posts or ill report you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pdinphx:
So the Note2 begins life much like our G3 ...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
I think Verizon will have made some changes to the boot loader, I doubt the same unlock process will work. But we can hope!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
Im sure these fine people will be able to unlock it. Just like the s3 it was confirmed locked and all these people still bought it and they found a way to unlock it. The note 2 isn't even out yet so all anyone can do is speculate. Nothing is set in stone

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Nevermind, looks like Samsung officially announced the Note 2 will be coming to Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NCRoadster:
With a quad core exynos! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crupp:
I saw the ATT version. It feels no different than the Note 1. the screen is AMAZING but, for me, not that much different than ours. The S -Pen is very cool though, it has a button on it that will allow you to erase as well as draw/write. Torn on what to do, I will have an upgrade available.

Honostly the Nokia 920 will be the phone to beat. Screen is crazy nice, good feel, build quality as good if not better than iphone. Drawback = ecosystems sucks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duxup:
If the Note 2 had been available at the time I bought my S3... I would have gotten the Note 2. Big hands here.

But I'm back in contract now so I'm not throwing down the unsubsidized price for the Note 2...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nyjumpman:
If I can sell the s3 for a good price, I'd consider defecting :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mayze23:
If i didn't have a Nexus 7 I would think about it. I'm content with my s3 + n7 combo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] IAmRelex:
Ditto, I got both on release and couldn't be happier.

Samsung Galaxy S3 hands dowmm

I would like to have note 2 if i want a tablet but more than 5 inches is not considered a phone according to me + it would require a mammoth of a battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
There's a review of someone putting it into their skinny jeans pocket and it fits fine. I've put the note in my pocket before as well and most of the jeans I wear are skinny jeans and I haven't had a problem

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DKYang:
If I was an artist/graphic designer, then yeah I would get it; but since I'm not, I don't care about the note. The SG3 is all I need. Has plenty of ram, cpu power, and rooting community. Also, I like dialing with one hand, not two.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
I suppose if the Note 2 is fortunate enough to get a leaked unlocked boot loader like we did then I'll seriously consider it, but I'm not holding my breath. I consider what happened with our GS3 a miracle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I used to think my Droid Incredible offered a portal into the mobile universe that was clear and bright, as big as I needed.

Even with tablets in our home, as a phone it offered a highly satisfying experience. No worries about screen size.

Then I lived with my new Galaxy S III for a few days and picked up the Incredible to check on something I still had on that phone. Gosh, it felt cramped and tiny, tougher to read, etc.

I imagine that some day the Galaxy S III - which just fits comfortably in my hand - will seem small if I lived with a Note 2 or similar some years from now. But, until then, the Galaxy S III is my comfortable, preferred portal into the mobile universe . . .

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gofaster87:
I looked at the note for a while but the s3 already feels pretty damn big in the pocket. Ive seen people holding those things to their face and it looks ridiculous.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sprintuser1977:
It never bothered me at all what people thought. I got more questions about my note than I have about any phone I've ever owned. Loved it and getting it day 1!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
It's been confirmed that the Note 2 on VZW will have a locked bootloader.

I'm quite happy with my S3. If I had a Note 2 no doubt I'll get used to it and then its hard to go back to a smaller phone. So no point in 2nd guessing my choice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] preusstang:
Man, I don't see why anyone would not be happy with their GS3, assuming the hardware functions as it should.

People take our insecure bootloader for granted - "oh the devs will find a way to CRACK/unlock the note's bootloader just like they did the gs3"

Maybe I'm just too cynical - but you're wrong. It wasn't unlocked by the devs. And it most certainly was not cracked.

Don't get me wrong, they all did an assload of work trying to reverse engineer it, but the insecure bootloader was given to them - handed over. You expect that to happen again? You expect too much.

Yes the new note looks pretty epic, and I'm sure it will be. And I don't mean to harp on anyone who wants it, but don't go in expecting an insecure bootloader to be leaked as it was with the I535. Sure you'll get root, but be prepared to stay locked down.

We were given a beautiful gift - cherish it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sRDennyCrane:
Go troll another forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pwhoeler:
I'll tell you this much, if I buy a note I'll have to update my wardrobe to include pockets that can hold it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] murphy_31047:
Not sure if it helps any but I had a note for 6 months before switching to Verizon to the s3. I can tell you this, the only thing the note and note 2 has over the gs3 is screen size & it's not all that great because of the ppi is so low. And for the record I had no issues with the size. I say gs3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jasmynsway:
For awhile I thought I would jump ship but I put jellybean on it and I love it. I'm not going back to touchwiz. Maybe once developers get their hands on it, I might consider it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pgreeny69:
I'm definitely going to take a hard look at the Note 2. I love my GS3 but have been looking at tablets for a while and don't want both. So for me the note 2 may be the happy medium. I use my phone more than my laptop and the bigger screen for browsing and reading news and forums just looks like a better choice for me. Hopefully it's released sooner than the rumored November release date.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sRDennyCrane:
Everyone's tastes are different, but you might want to consider a different solution. The Note 2 and the S III are SO close in size, is it really worth shelling out for an upgrade?

I take my S III everywhere and get a lot of varied use from it. Often I take my 7" Nexus tablet along and tether wifi from my phone. The screen size is great for on the go use... vacation, traveling on a plane, at someone else's house for the game, etc. Then, there's times I have my 10.1" Acer tablet. At work, it's something I carry around for database access, at home, it's getting less and less use since the Nexus 7 joined the stable. Now, it just sits on the bedstand at night charging and occasionally used to watch a movie before I got to sleep.

Bottom line, for me at least, the Note 2 is an S III with a slightly bigger screen and a stylus. It'll be cumbersome for long calls, it won't fit in many pockets, and be bulky in the ones it does. Go try out some mini tablets. You may change your mind.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TeeX2.0:
the Note2 looks awesome, but I'm gonna have my S3 for a while. Really is a great phone, especially now that the bootloader is bypassed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pgreeny69:
Like I said I love my S3. I'm not going to pre order or anything. I am going to wait until it's released and take a good look.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ALUCARDDEV:
I had debated. But happy with SG3.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pdinphx:
There is no comparison in screen size.

This difference is precisely what makes the Note/Note 2's size and unwieldiness a valid consideration.

Which is not to say that you can't be perfectly happy with the S3's screen. But 25% more screen real estate is 25% more screen real estate ... especially when your smartphone IS your phone, tablet and laptop/mobile desktop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
Well stated. Exactly how I feel. I cannot wait to get it when it comes out.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Benjamin1966:
I'm not sure if this was covered. I use a Galaxy 5 player that is basically the exact same size as a note 2. I use it as my truck music player and on line poker, I don't think you'd like this size for a cell phone. Maybe for women that have purses and can carry it there but guys having to have a belly clip or holster, you might want to stay with a S3 it sim ilar size phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulG1488:
At first I wasn't too enthusiastic about the note 2 but after watching that Korean launch video for it I was impressed. Being the extreme power user I am I fell in love eight away with the multi window use. I think I may quite possibly be switching to it when it comes out.

Troll. Leave him alone its fine.

I am undecided I think I may stick with the s3 even though I have wanted the note since the first one didn't come to Verizon. Who knows I'll have to test it out in stores first. My original plan was to sell the s3 when it was launched but development for this phone is great. Idk if I want to downgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
Knowing it's going to come locked is a huge issue. Who knows how long a leak will take? That will play a part in being tempted for me. I do look forward to looking at one in the store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulG1488:
I agree bootloader is going to be an issue for me as well. If its locked I will most likely stay with the GSIII. Then again it wouldn't hurt to get a hands on with it until some kind of breakthrough is made.

Sent from my Galaxy SIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sRDennyCrane:
I think people should just accept that every Verizon phone will come with a locked bootloader. No, they will not relent to petitions. If a leaked unlock appears, great... but don't plan for one. It's just the expected behavior of the 900 pound gorilla in the American cellular room.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xenster:
My friend has the Note on AT&T and I got used to the size pretty quickly. I use my S3 more for gaming, internet, video, etc. than as a phone itself. Maybe when I'm due for an upgrade and they manage to make a 20,000mah battery weight 3 grams I'll get the Note 4.

Hi all, its a single question. A friend of mine ask to me to looking for a replacement to his Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000. So, I'm not sure about galaxys versions and I found this replacement:

http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-complete-screen-assembly-black/

I'm not sure if this version is compatible with Galaxy S GT-i9000, or its the same, or its different.. I'm not sure if there is a version with LCD and another with AMOLED... please, some advice?

Thanks in advance :)

I think all of these are made in China , the only way you can get an original is to buy a broken phone and salvage from it or order direct from Samsung Service centers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alr11389:
thanks xsenman. Would Samsung send me a replace for the screen if I call or write them? These chinese LCD are good for replacement?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
as long as you are willing to pay their price, samsung should/would supply spare parts in their service centers ..need to quote their part number or visit them personally ...china parts will be china parts..but will never be the original as samsung would never supply parts in this manner .

on the other-hand china parts should work too:D

That's odd. Didn't touch anything pertaining to the playstore. Did you wipe cache/dalvik? There are a few extra system apps so you need to wipe and wipe before rebooting. Also you could try and clear playstore cache and data.
