[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
I'll race you. First to get their pre order in wins. Prize to be determined. Jumping all over note 2 day 1 pre order.

I think the Note 2's 5.5 non pentile size is about perfect t for me. For me, I like the 16:9 ratio much more than the Note 1's 16:10. The two camps seem split about 50/50 on ratio preference but as an avid movie watcher, the 720p screen is actually gonna give more usable real-estate for many things (smaller black bars during movies, etc)

I have a note 10.1 3g and man. This exynos quad is wonderfully smooth and battery life is GREAT. Can't wait to see an even higher clocked version on the Note 2. Only thing I was worried about was battery life but seeing a 3300MaH and seeing how efficient this exynos is, my fears have eased quite a bit.

I still fear LTE though.... H+ is plenty fast for me (1.5 - 2 megs per sec here) and WAY less demanding of battery. In all honesty if ATT offered a 3g and LTE version, I'd probably go with the 3g. I'd rather have 3g and 24+ hour battery than LTE and a 14 hour battery.

Either way Note 2 is a big big upgrade and I'll be all over it the second its available.

Oh and for those that think the screen is a downgrade, look at the android authority in-depth comparison between note 1 and 2 screen. In a nutshell the Note 2 screen dominates. If anyone hasn't read it or naysayers show up in the thread ill post the link.

I KNOW the Note 2's "screen is bigger with 13 DPI less, failzorz!!" naysayers are gonna pop up so here's the link to the screen comparison.

I didn't quote respond because that'd be even longer lol. I posted the link to the screen comparison above in case ya missed it.

My fiancé is 5'1 with teenie hands so she can't handle the Note either lol.

I agree - Samsung displays are wonderful. Samsung devices in general are wonderful. I actually like the plastic builds - they are high quality but arguably hold up a lot better than metal/glass. Sure there are odd stories of minor falls seriously buggering up a device but that's the same with most phone makers. There are some "duds" that aren't as durable but I've loved my Samsung devices.

I prefer plastic and light weight over metal and heavy bricks anyday of the week. Phones aren't made for physical abuse and if so, there are cases and screen protectors for protection. This is my third Samsung device and so far, no disappointment. I would agree that the Galaxy Note is NOT a smartphone, it's a SuperPhone!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
To a "large":) extent I think smartphones need some portability. Screen size of 6" would push the limit on "my" ability to pocket the phone as I maneuver through the day. I could care less about the requirement of many that say they need one-hand ability to work their smartphone...I think that is just an excuse to sooth their jealousy. However, I do find myself moving my Note from front pocket (for sitting) to back pocket (for walking) or laying it on the seat or tabletop at a restaurant.

My favorite thing about my Note is the ability to go larger font size and still fit a decent amount of text on the screen. Hey, I'm getting older and I can't dig the super small print without glasses. That's why I avoid those very nice ROMs that allow tablet, phablet mode, etc.

Personally, I'd like for Samsung to figure out how to eliminate the bezel and have an all glass front. Maybe then they can increase the display and keep the same size xy dimensions of the total Note smartphone. For example, even though the Note II is taller than my Note...it is narrower and thinner so I am considering the possible move to the new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Note 1 screen is a winner ....

Note 2 screen is a winner as well.

But I'm always Leary of new device hype, and tend to wait until the rubber hits the road so to speak.

We'll have to wait until these new phones get going, before any grand claims about how much better the screen is etcetera.

Often times the reports and specifications are stretched to a maximum, just to gain market share.

Not unlike the claims made about the note 1, that performs at about 80% of it's rated performance.

And I'm thinking that the note 2 will be the same. A good device, but hyped beyond reality ....

This is simply my opinion .....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
I might agree with you Greg but there is one thing that makes me disagree.

My note 10.1 has virtually identical specs to the Note 2 and it meets (and sometimes exceeds) the same performance claims made by Samsung about the note 2.

The note 1 was about 80% of its claimed performance but there wasn't something else on the market to really compare it to. With the note 2 we already have the note 10.1 with identical specs except for a 200mhz slower processor clock. The only "unknown" factor of the note 2 is the screen, which, knowing Samsung and early reviews, will NOT be a disappointment.

What I'm saying is if I put the 5.5 inch note 2 screen on my note 10.1, I'd have a note 2. My note 10.1 performs as well as the claims made about the note 2 and I'm not even running jellybean yet. Jellybean provides a huge performance boost with the oem implementation (most jb roms have seen a decrease in performance whereas oem jb builds have greatly boosted performance by 40% in some cases)

I have no doubt the note 2 will 100% live up to the performance hype. We basically already have a 10.1 inch note 2 with a slightly larger resolution to predict how the note 2 will perform.

I'll bet you anything the note 2 in the US does indeed have a quad exynos, LTE, 2GB RAM, and the other claimed stats. Wait and see :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kabuk1:
Heh heh... I'm 5'1/2", yes, half an inch, and I handle my Note just fine. Eh, maybe my hands are a bit bigger or something.

Anyway... I think 6" is probably the biggest that phones can get without just being tablets that can make calls. I don't think they'll get bigger than 5.5 though, to be honest.

I get a lot of "omg what is that?!" comments when I pull my note out too. I've gotten completely used to the size, it looks & feels just normal to me now, but apparently it looks huge to everyone else.

I just wanted to chime in and say the as great as it is was not the first five inch phone the I have used. I had the Dell Streak and we had some great devs. The Note was an obvious next phone and really is a great unit.

I used in tablet mode most of the time as this is how I used the dell streak.

Hello xda forum!

I´m kinda noob in the world of custimizing android devices, my first device was a SGA so that was an easy one, but now I have a xperia arc s with the official 4.0.4 rom made by sony the build number is 4.1.B.0 and I want to root it but i can´t, I have tried the DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su.zip method but it failed i think because it requires the build no 4.1.A , the 2nd atempt was to flash a kernel made also by doomlord to put the build number into 4.1.A or somthing like that but it also failed becuse i can´t boot into fastboot mode, so i made a research around xda forum and I found that some devices are locked by the mobile operator, so they can´t boot into fastboot mode. Now my question is does this device is rubish or do I have a solution? what can i do?

thanx!! to all the people that can help me.

P.D.1: sorry for my bad english xD

P.D.2: don´t be like "uuhh! look around xda, you´ll find the answer" please I need some help.

I saw it at radio Shack for $99 after I paid $199 at at&t, called them up and told them about it. They informed me that they don't offer price matching.

I informed them I would just return the phone and go buy it from the shack.

They promptly credited my account $100.

So apparently anyone can get it for $99 if they are willing to work with a customer service representative.

Hope this helps people get credited

There was a thread about someone getting a gs3 for $99 from actually calling att and talking to a rep. I read this and called att myself. I bought mine for 199 at the store. So I called 611 and talked to someone. Told them I have been with att for a long time and felt I deserve the same price treatment as the person who got it for 99. Lady said how about 100 credit on bill. I said cool. Next thing I know it was only a 25 dollar credit. Week later I called again cause had issues with activating wife's new iPhone. After getting that resolved I told them about when I called last time and thought I was getting 100 dollar credit but only got 25. Somehow the guy this time hooked me up and gave me 2 different credits. An 80 and 28.50. And my other 25 he didn't take off. Said he wasn't going to. So all three credits took effect and I got 133.50 credit on my bill. So its like I got my gs3 for 66.50. Can't complain about that.

I bought mine from Frys Electronics last week for $150. Then I called AT&T and complained about the trouble I had activating it (spent 2 hours in the store on the phone, eventually had to go to an actual AT&T store). Even though there were no notes on the account, they issued me a $25 loyalty credit and waived the $36 upgrade fee. I didn't ask for anything more than waiving the upgrade fee, but they were very understanding of what I went through. I would highly recommend calling customer service if you aren't afraid to complain.

It's not unethical to call and ask. AT&T "doesn't do price matching", but they will often waive fees and offer loyalty credits to keep a customer happy. Be kind and courteous when you call, explain what you are hoping to achieve and see what happens.

So I saw it for $99 two days after spending $199 on it. Called the cs rep, and asked them to match or else I'd return it and go elsewhere to buy it for the lower price. They did exactly that, crediting my account. Why is that unethical?

AT&T is a great company for helping their customers to save money. $99 for a Galaxy S3 is a great price. Free or $10 would be utterly awesome but it is a great phone and for $99 it's a great deal.

I think getting a good deal is all about being cool to the CSR. If you get a power tripping one make up an excuse to hang up and call back. I ordered an SGS3 on Saturday night and got it for $50 and an Iphone 4 for $.99. unfortunately the CA tax kills me, but I can't complain getting a Garnet Red SGS3 for $50. He also waived upgrade and activation fees and included overnight shipping. Should be here today. Just in time for my dying loyal Captivate.

[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
Yeah it's a good ad, but some of the things they've listed there make Samsung a laughing stock.

Shake to update

Tilt to zoom

Are these REALLY selling points for the device? I don't think so.

IPhone fans have already started making their own images with a list of iPhone pros and I have to say their lists are more compelling than simple gestures.

I'd rather Samsung list the actual things that make their phone the best in the world rather than gimmicky gestures.

Edit: I would really prefer it if they didn't compare S-Voice to Siri as well. S-Voice completely sucks.
[Galaxy S III General] Tomatoes8:
Your kidding right? Samsung probably shouldn't have used some of those but the isheep lists were a complete joke. Imessage? Puleeze. I turned that **** off first thing and downloaded whatsapp.

[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
I happen to find iMessage really useful. I use it to talk to my long distance fianceé a lot. I'd gladly use Whatsapp if you could use it on an iPad, but you can't.

Some other things I've seen listed that are useful; iCloud, Do Not Disturb ('Blocking Mode' in the SGS3 Jelly Bean update covers this), more available apps, shared photo stream (very useful), Airplay.

Whilst I think that MicroUSB is perfect and Apple are idiots for not using it, I don't think Samsung are in any position to criticise Apple for that:

http://forums.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=357780&d=1347746614

I did laugh when people were trying to say that FaceTime and Panorama were selling points for the iPhone, when S3 has had both of these features since launch (FaceTime in the form of Google Talk).
[Galaxy S III General] Tomatoes8:
The S3 has much more DNLA options than the iPhone. Not sure of the all share cast dongle is as good as airplay but its the same technology plus the S3 has every direct WiFi connection under the sun with the buddy photo share and all share and kies air.

Icloud, well um no thanks. I had the 4s for 6 months and never used it. To be fair,I don't use drop box for my phone either. Although my Toshiba laptop uses drop box a lot.

Whatsapp is superior because not everyone has an iphone. Blackberry, windows, iphone, android compatible and you name it.

Do not disturb has been on Android phones for ages. Look up tasker and reject calls on your dialer.

Either way. Those lists that were made by isheep are more pathetic because they actually truly believe that they are good lists.lol

While the Samsung marketing guy is probably just some undergrad marketing major that knows nothing about phones and just made that list up from spec sheets on the internet.
[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
AirPlay can play to speakers in every room of your house at the same time. I don't think AllShare or any other Samsung solution (or DLNA) does that, but correct me if I'm wrong. The fact that AirPlay speakers are about five times the price of other comparable speakers is a bit of a joke though. :(

iTunes - didn't say anything about this. You mean iCloud?

Whatsapp is superior... for phones. I have an iPad and a phone. Whatsapp won't work on my iPad. Also, doesn't Whatsapp only support logging in on one device at a time? Skype is probably a better multi-platform example as you can login to it on multiple devices at the same time (including tablets and PCs)

Reject calls doesn't have as many features as Blocking Mode. Also, reject calls is blacklist based whereas Blocking Mode is whitelist based. I.e. with Blocking Mode you can set it to auto-reject calls from everyone but your nearest and dearest. I know about Tasker, but I'm pretty sure people are comparing features included by default. Samsung are, at least.
