I just got my note2.

Possibly the greaest phone out there.

I did a side by side and theres only two things ip5 trumps on note 2screen and camera.

N2 is faster loading pages

The scrolling function is pretty even at times n2 was smoother.

Some pics were pretty even but ip5 still won on this. But its marginal.

Boottime faster on n2

Dl d ing was faster but not by much 9n n2.

And every thing else note was king.

Oh yeah how many roms does ip5 have??

I kept asking him lmao

"Fu" <---- his responce then threatems to smash my " pos plastic phone toy "

Lol

Gdmt am I fanboy now??

Nnnoooooooooooooooooooooo!

I think im gonna take my n2 and have phone sex with it for a while....so many roms .... so many roms ...drool
[Galaxy Note II General] rootyourphones:
I enjoy my iphone more love how it just works without lag also thhe camera is amazing too.the note 2 I have now has problems rebooting itself consistently it can handle upto 15 apps installed any more thsn that itll start to lag and freeze up or eat up all the memory.iphone don't need roms we have cydia all in one place duh.:p

samsung wishes it was an iphone
[Galaxy Note II General] freakboy13:
NO IT DONT !!!!

diaf fanboy!!!

:D

I have only 500megs left on my n2

I aint got no lag

You n2 keeps rebooting sounds like the problem is user error!

:p

No its samsung build quality plastic crap.:thumbdown:

samsung wishes it was an iphone
[Galaxy Note II General] klect:
The build quality of the iphone is good but all the other points go to the samsung
[Galaxy Note II General] jonatton:
No offense, but that sounds like a ****ing lie. Even if it's a Chinese replica of Note 2, it wouldn't lag just because you installed 15 bloody apps. Which apps are these exactly, eating up a good part of your 12-13 GB?

And iPhone don't need roms since you have Cydia? WTH? Do you even know what a ROM is mate? Jesus Christ.

Everyone who owns a note has easily more than 15 apps on their note. Heck, it comes preinstalled with more bloatware than that and yet has no lag at all.
[Galaxy Note II General] freakboy13:
No doubt hes bs. Iphony usrs dont have a clue. I have my memory

Almost maxed and theres no lag.

Iphone usrs always ALWAYS say :

"I dont need a rom" really?

Also the buildquality thing is just a nervous reflex iphony users have developed.

Good thing theres no samsung crappy build parts in an iphone. :p

Also iphony users base this on....what else...LOOKS...derp.

Heres an idea for your so called superior build quality. Lets remove that tin pos metal frame that is inefficient compared to polycarbonate to absorb and disperse energy from a fall... (but I phone has better build quality:p)

Oh my look the gs3 and iphone on the inside...look like....a....cell phone!!!

Lol.

Well...its a good thing iphony would never use some of those cheap parts from samsu....whats that you say?

Apple uses samsung?

:eek:

Hey im not gonna lie ip5 has a beast of a camera. Its really a nice piece.

But imo thats it.

I5 is benchmarked faster. .

So why does my bud with his glorious ip5 have slower dl speeds than me?

Idk were both on att.

Hey to each his own but please dont make false statements.

You either have a fake n2

Or its defective. You should def keep the ip5 apple NEVER sells defective products..

antenna! grip of death

Yeah and heres a pic of my mem and n2 acts like theres nothing on it.

N2ftmfw!
[Galaxy Note II General] BPHC:
I have both, and the iPhone5 is sitting at home while I am waiting in line foe GI Joe with Note 2
[Galaxy Note II General] jonatton:
Yeah seriously, couldn't care less if he loved iPhone or GooPhone - that's his preference. Or opinions, which we're all entitled to have. I don't think I'd ever choose any other phone than my N2 due to it's screen size, battery life, and the amazing beast that it is. And obviously I can't imagine switching to a non android phone as I'm a flashaholic and need more options to play around with than what iPhone offers.

iPhone works well for some, so good for them if they think it's worth it. But it's laughable to make such absurd lies up, which anyone with half a brain could spot for what it is. I mean what's even the point FFS, if you're lying at least make up a convincing lie. So ****ing stupid.

Excuse my rant btw.

[Galaxy Note II General] tbong777:
As was I but Symbian was horrible and iPhone OS WAS BETTER than Symbian. I cannot tell you how disappointed I was to see Nokia continue Symbian then go with Microsoft over Android. Their hardware was better than Apple iPhone.....Symbian was terrible. I left Nokia and suffered through the Captivate years wishing for (and getting) a pox on Nokia for not building and Android based device. . I still would buy a Nokia with Android on it. Although Nokia is not the same company they were when they released the N-95. The N97 was a disaster. Almost as bad as the Captivate

[Galaxy Note II General] @rbiter:
Symbian was awesome even with it's flaws. Better out of the box than an iPhone sure. Then you include apps and games and it more of a wash. Nokia supported gsm, universal connectivity and once the got rid of proprietary connections and added some apps and more consistency and iPhone wouldn't been where it is.

how can you seriously compare an iphone 5 to a note 2? if the s2 was still the flagship it would still blow the iphone away.
[Galaxy Note II General] rootyourphones:
Just the simplicity and function out of the box .no need to fidel with it all the time , with android u gotta spend more time finding a rom to fit your needs and stability .I flash every rom for the note 2 and I found a few thats stable for awhile than itll become unstable in a short while.

[Galaxy Note II General] Fostil:
So what that iphone has better out of box experience. I'm the owner of my phone and I decide what I need, not some old fashioned apple. I like to customize my phone at free will, freely changing roms, moding them. Iphone is for old people, who doesn't like to understand all that new features.
[Galaxy Note II General] foxmeister:
Absolute nonsense!

My Note 2 is bone stock - never felt the need to root it or install a custom ROM. For me, it works perfectly out of the box, and is the first Android device I've owned that I can honestly say that for (and I've owned a lot!).

That being said, 99%+ of all Android devices will never have been rooted either, simply because XDA type users are the exception, not the rule. Same for the iPhone - the vast majority are not and never will be jail broken.

It actually saddens me when I read of someone on these forums who says, "Just got my new Note 2 and immediately rooted it and installed XYZ ROM" without first just trying it stock for a few days.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:
That's too bias to say. Show some respect.
[Galaxy Note II General] rootyourphones:
My point exactly im on stock rom rooted but since this is your first android devices then I wouldn't mess with it too much.if u ever own an older device you will see what im talking about . Android is android we will see it immature in a few dozen years or so I mean is it necessary to have a quad core to run android look at windows mobile 8 they don't need all that horsepower to run their operating systems.google needs to build a eco system like apple does that makes it optomize without defragmentations also to let other companies build a pure android device and give carriers like verizon the middle finger on the bloatware.

samsung wishes it was an iphone
[Galaxy Note II General] foxmeister:
You didn't read what I wrote did you?

The Note 2 is far from my first Android device!

To name just the highlights:

G1

Hero

Desire

Desire HD

S2

Sensation

Note

Note 2

Nexus 4

Add to that more than a dozen non-smartphone Android devices.

Prior to the Note 2, pretty much all of these were rooted and had custom ROMs, but usually these were based on stock rather than something like CM or AOKP.

However, in general post the Desire, I'd say that my reasons for rooting was purely for certain root only apps - not for stability or speed reasons which were pretty much fine stock.

Dave

Is it just me or is the iPhone fanboys post just indecipherable? And on top of that he doesn't bother to read the posts at all. I wouldn't waste my time Dave. Not worth it tbh.
[Galaxy Note II General] tbong777:
Yes we ALL know iPhone was built for an 8 year old.

But those of us who are more adult, can learn new things, and prefer to use the device OUR WAY with OUR CHOICES and NO CENSORSHIP of Apps and as well are fortunate enough to have the brain power to "fiddle" with it to do what we want to actually prefer that choice.

I realize there are those who come to XDA have no clue about what they are doing , Do not know what a kernel is or does, have no idea where the bootanimation file is or the sound files, never heard of adb-tools or Odin, then want everything to work perfectly without "fiddling with things they know nothing about" like the iPhone are and will continually be sorely disappointed, Even stock all that "fiddling" makes the phone more personalized according to need rather than what Apple believes that need SHOULD be,

iPhone is not even in the same league as the Note 2 in anyway shape or form. Those who come here expecting to iTunes to do everything for you will have major issues.

Sort of like you are having.
[Galaxy Note II General] rootyourphones:
8 year old please a 3 year old can use an android device as well.come with a better come back if your device is so great why flood the market with crappy useless roms .I don't run roms on my note its cause itll make it worst or a little better and people like you blame user errors when the rom itself is faulty man .theres a disclamer on every rom that says this rom may brick your device so go figure .don't get me started on the signal strength cause for a fact iphone will win I don't get lte here it cause I always have one bar with egde while my brother has 5 bars if lte service on at&t lol so go figure that one out .

[Galaxy Note II General] foxmeister:
Once again, you didn't read what I wrote did you, just extracted a tiny bit out of context and then accused me of lying! Clearly, the subtleties of idiomatic expression are lost on you.

I said:

"For me, it works perfectly out of the box, and is the first Android device I've owned that I can honestly say that for (and I've owned a lot!)"

Read it again, and comprehend!

That statement doesn't say that it's the first Android device I've owned.

Paraphrasing, it says:

"It is the first Android device I've owned that works perfectly out of the box, and I've owned a lot".

You would've thought the "I've owned a lot" was a bit of a giveaway, but never mind - English might not be your first language for all I know. However, that doesn't excuse accusing someone of lying and your general trolling of this thread.

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.m0x:
I can think of five to advantages to the iPhone straight off the bat.

1. Locked down ecosystem. Good because it's really hard for stupid people to bork their phones if they can't change much about the os. It also means Apple are the only ones allowed to screw up your phone because you are too stupid to screw it up by yourself. They will randomly push updates to your phone which will screw up your maps, delete all your contacts, emails, photos and music, or various other random issues. God forbid that the stupid end users be able to modify code themselves to fix the things your stupid engineers borked.

2. No removable battery. The last thing you need is the stupid end user screwing up their phone by buying a cheap third party battery off eBay and installing it themselves in seconds. If it turns out to be a **** battery they might blame the phone for the poor battery life because your customers are all stupid. Better that you take it to an authorised Apple repair centre and pay thru the nose. Or to a third party repair shop who will probably just stick a cheap eBay battery in there for you, or by a cheap battery off eBay and a cheap iPhone repair kit and spend half a hour doing it yourself. Seriously why not just make the battery replaceable and save 29 minutes of your customers life?

3. ITunes. This is great for iPhone users as according to Apple they are too lazy and stupid to be able to have control over what content they have available on their phones. Best just to force them to use only the one store for all their music and such. Why you're at it you can use iTunes to have control over what the user copies from their computer to their phone. You can also screw over your stupid user base by deleting music off their computer when they delete it off their iPhone. That way stupid customer might be stupid enough to run out and upgrade to the 64 gb model so they don't have to keep deleting music.

4. Patents. Apple invented everything cool and all other manufacturers are just coping them. Stupid people keep buying Samsung phones because they think they are iPhones. It's got nothing to do with the fact that android and galaxy phones can do a bunch of cool stuff that iPhones can't. Actually most of those features are crap. Apple already thought of them and scrapped the ideas because they didn't want their stupid users to be confused with too many options, further proof that Apple invented everything cool and others stole their ideas.

5. Smart phones are for smart people. Since your customer base is stupid, it's better to give them a stupid phone that pretends to be smart. That way they can walk around waving it at people to show how smart they are when they really have a phone which can't do much of anything because they would be too stupid to use it anyway.

I vote iPhone for the simple fact of it having a very nice camera. Even the iPhone 3GS' camera is better than my Atrix HD's , even tho the pictures aren't hd on that phone. After using the Note 2 before, I'm not a fan of giant phones so I'd only use it for games. And seeing as how always keep my phone simple to my liking, I'd pick iPhone 5 anyday.

The brightness doesn't return back to the User's set preference after snapping a photo despite what the level says, once you move it, it readjusts back to what the value would be if you had done so before.

[Thunderbolt General] alex.ap.pacman:
What exactly do the light sensors do? I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Are they for adjusting the camera brightness?
[Thunderbolt General] heath2805:
Its tweaked Automatic backlight. When I snap a pic, my brightness shoots up after closing the camera, then it returns to normal. So your saying yours doesn't return to normal backlight settings??
[Thunderbolt General] alex.ap.pacman:
Correct, it will show the same level in the brightness adjustment bar, but the brightness itself will be brighter until I move the brightness adjustment bar from left to right then it readjusts to what that brightness level was originally.

Do you follow me?

Say I set the brightness bar at 25% okay, then I take a photo and the brightness gets brighter than the originally set 25%, but the brightness bar is still set at 25%, so I have a false display of what my real brightness level is, it could be really set at 40%, so I move the brightness bar a bit to calibrate it, and then the screen dims back down to what was originally the 25%.

[Thunderbolt General] heath2805:
I understand. Have you tried tweaking the automatic backlight settings? I have been doing this on every AOSP rom I've ever flashed. And some Sense roms that are able to tweak.

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

Light sensors detect the surrounding light levels through a sensor on your phone. For example: if your outside it will detect bright levels and will automatically raise your backlight levels making visibility better. You can tweak these settings by hitting : System settings, display, automatic backlight , check Use custom, then edit other levels. ....And no, there not associated with camera brightness. Camera has its own settings for that.
[Thunderbolt General] alex.ap.pacman:
Thanks for the documentation Keith, I'll see what I can do, but I'm still confused with the numbers, perhaps I'm not very well suited to be fiddling with the feature just yet.

[Thunderbolt General] heath2805:
Who's Keith?? Haha Just compare mine to default settings on yours. I only changed the first 5 down under screen. That's how I learned . Its great once you gain control. You'll see a massive difference in screen brightness. And its great because this is one of the main factors in battery life.And although I changed those settings, I still keep auto brightness checked under brightness, under display. Their just tweaked.

Does anybody know, if there are any cheap bluetooth controllers (read: non-Sony) working with Sixaxis Controller app or something simmillar?

I've found these two on DealExtreme, so I'd like to buy one of them. Does anyone have experience with one of these products? Which one will work?

GOIGAME Rechargeable Bluetooth Wireless DoubleShock III Controller for PS3 - Black

Rechargeable DualShock Bluetooth Wireless SIXAXIS Controller for PS3 (Black + Red)

I think only official sixaxis are compatible
[HTC One X] TommY.KillER:
But these controllers are natively compatible with PS3, why not with Sixaxis app?

Is there any alternative app for these controllers? I don't want to buy expensive PS3 controller when I don't have PS3... I bought HTC One X instead of Xbox :D
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
Phone joy will work with Android phones and tablets without root or unlocking, you will run into some annoying compatibility issues with some games, but most of the time there's 3rd party apps to make it work, check out game keyboard and bluezime, they do work with the phone joy controller and even has settings to get it working with onlive (if you use that, if you don't, it is worth checking out)
[HTC One X] TommY.KillER:
Ok, I'll check it out... I can google for some apps, I just want to know if it's worth buying

BTW I'm not playing on OnLive because of my slow connection at home
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
Their website has a fair amount of info on it, have a look at the setup guides, you'll be able to get a bit of a feel for how it works

I'll just warn you, it doesn't have the same premium feel /build quality as the genuine ps3 controller, however that's not to say it's fragile

What we really need is the game developers to add in configurable controls so it's simple and easy to setup. It's only a matter of time before that happens

Thanks for info

I'm aware that the quality isn't as good as genuine Sony controller, I'm just asking about compatibility.

I'm unsure how much "news" this is, but my GS III kept redrawing the homescreen, if I stayed in another app for longer than 30 seconds (even opening Settings!).

After some Google'ing, I saw that widgets may be an issue. I was just using two small ones, the built-in calendar (2x1) and email (4x2): nothing for a 1.4GHz dual-core with 2GB of RAM, right? Well, I removed both of those and now my GS III is as zippy as I got it. Everything is faster: the Apps menu loads faster, no homescreen redraw, everything is way more fluid.

This "tip" might be uber-common knowledge, but coming off an iPhone, I had no idea widgets were so draining. :) I'm just really happy and I thought I would share my happiness, just in case someone else is trying to diagnose their GS III.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lessthanzach:
Or just install the v6 supercharger script. It modifies how android handles memory. Also, using nova launcher I almost never have home screen redraws.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theraffman:
I run about 3 times the widgets you were with no issue, but neither of the ones you did. Perhaps the issue isn't with widgets entirely but one of those widgets malfunctioning. Have you tried other widgets to test your thesis? Did any combination of two regardless of the widget cause redraw? I would test it further if I were you, I'll run those two also and see if I can recreate it.

Additionally, are you running stock Rom? Rooted? Custom Rom/which? Uv or oc?etc...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Well, the homescreen redraw is a little sporadic. I just know that for the few hours I removed the two widgets, the phone felt faster and I experienced no homescreen redraws (in comparison to the weeks where I had many homescreen redraws and a bit of lagginess). I placed 9 widgets on for about 10 minutes (but did not include the two "bad' ones): no redraws. I then put the two "bad" ones again and I had a homescreen redraw after about 3 minutes of using Boat Browser.

Stock as can be: i747 running UCALG1. No root, no custom ROM, no UV/OC, nothing. Just bought it out the store and took that one OTA update that removed universal search.

I tried Nova and Apex, too, but I didn't like their style and they didn't seem quite as smooth as TW. But, I did see the V6 Supercharger script as a fix (I think it lowered the OOM priority of the TW launcher?)
